WHOLESALE ARRESTS IN GOLDYILLE.

Under the above caption the Clinton
Chronicle of last week prints the fol-
lowing piece of news:
ION recent visit to Goldvile Mr.. s.
w. Low, of Laurens, finding something
wrong in that burg, went to work i'm
mediately, got up his evidence and
sWore out the warrants for nine trans
gressors of ourState and county laws.
On last Friday he, with the assistance
OF Mr.. &. l.. Owens and Mr.. r. X.
Milan, went down again and brought
them back and lodged them in prison.
-Four Of those are indicted for selling
liquor, four for taking part in a general
riot and shooting scrape which oc-
Cured last week, and one for assault
and battery. Goldvile will be well rep
resented in the next term of count. "
This is reproduced here and attention
is directed thereto for the sole purpose
of showing that all our laws, even the
statutes regulating the sale of whiskey,
are sometimes violated. Several news
papers of the State, and especially the
Abbeville Medium, are very fond Of
citing instances of the violation of law
in the prohibition counties and using il
as an argument against prohibition.
The fallacy and unsoundness of such a
contention is demonstrated by the above
reported facts.
All laws are sometimes violated, else
there would be no necessity for law.
Because law is occasionally broken is
no proof that it is not good law. This
applies universally; the laws against
theft, murder are good; they arc
sometimes broken. The dispensary law
is violated; that alone does not prove it
a bad law. People break the prohibi-
tion law; that does not mean that it is
not good law.
The argument is unsound and cannot
stand the test.

were words used by Solicitor Sease in

we have had no dispensary in Union

smallness of the number of homicides.
Whiskey is at the bottom of three
fourths of the homicides. The destruc-
ton of the whisky traffic means the re-
duction Of the number of homcides.
And the jug trade is rapidly decreasing

Referring to the News and Courier's
suggestion that debate as to which
city, Laurens, Greenwood or Newberry,
had the best mayor would be interest
ing, the Greenwood Journal says:
"No debate is necessary, contempo-
rary. Greenwood's mayor speaks for
himself. He is the best everl"
Yes, he may be the best Greenwood
ever had, but even that does not prove
him equal to the mayor of Laurens; and
the fact that he "speaks for himself"
is far from convincing. Come again,
contemporary; you failed to make out
your case.
