PROHIBITION SENTIMENT.
Rev. j. L. Harley Writes Of Work OF
Anti.Saloon League.

Editor The Bamberg Herald: The
cause of prohibition is moving on
gloriously in our State. The visit of
Mrs. Armor, of Georgia, DR.. Baker,
:of Ohio, and Gov. Glenn, OF North
Carolina, did us much good. Mrs.
Armor came at the invitation of the
Z WoInan's Christian Temperance
Union, and being a noted leader in
8 her own State, drew large crowds,
who heard her with much pleasure
and profit. DR.. Baker, the National
Superintendent of the Anti-Saloon
League, came to aid the State Super
fntendent in planning the work In
this State. While here he gave US
six of his best speeches, to the great
delight and edification of those who
heard him. From all accounts Gov.
Glenn captured Columbia. We are
glad that this movement has taken
on national phase at last. We
are glad that the day has come when
the people Of the North can lay aside
party prejudice and narrow-minded-
ness, and receive with enthusiasm q
George Stewart, Of Tennessee, or a
Seaborne Wright, Of Georgia. We
are rejoicing that while narrow par
stisan papers try to appeal to pretu-
dice about Imported speakers" that
the people of South Carolina crowd
auditoriums and receive just as en-
Enthusiastically a Glenn, Baker, or a
Mrs. Armor. The cry of fanatic
( ism," Hypocrisy" and personal
liberty" has become an old song and
the people will not even join in the
chorus.
s We find growing sentiment In
every county against sny legalized
form of the liquor traffic. The people
In the country have found that while
the dispensary may seem to bring
some revenue to the towns and cities,
is possibly helping to pave streets
and pay of floating bonds on school
buildings, at the same time, it is rob-
bing the people in the country Of
the necessities of life, and is ex-
posing their families to all the dan
gers which follow in the wake of
drunken men. No police protection
is their cry, when crowds come back
into the country from the dispensary
towns, drunken on dispensary liquor,
especially on Saturday nights. This
has become so notorious that the
State has been called upon to pro-
vide rural police for the protection
of the people in several counties.
The merchants, too, are finding
that the millions of dollars going
out of the State in cash for liquor,
is hurting them in their business and
il turned into channels of legitimate
trade, would not only give bread to
the hungry children robbed, but
would add much to the merchants
cash account which he is now los
ing.
The literature being published by
the Anti-Saloon League is being cir
-culated throughout the twenty-one
wet counties, and some of the coun-
sty papers are reproducing it in their
columns. The demand is great, but

we consider this part of the work
very important, and we are sparing
neither money nor labor in supply
ing it. Inquiries are coming in from
every direction to know if the league
will be able to stand the strain Of
this campaign. I do not hesitate to
answer, yes. The league is being
supported by those who have faith in
it, and while we have no large con-
tributions, the work goes on all
right financially. Some time ago we
sent a circular letter to subscribers
who were in arrears, urging them
to pay their dues that we might have
the funds to do the work as it should
be done. OF course, some papers
published at once that we were
begging for funds to save the life
of the league" But they could have
saved the ink as well a sthe false
impression they meant to convey;
for the league is In no danger what
ever of dissolution. It has been
published all over the State that the
contributors to the league are pay
ing thousands of dollars to the Ma
tional League up North and that the
National League is using this money
to suit their own purposes. OF
course, this is nothing more nor less
than a published falsehood, for the
purpose Of prejudicing the minds OF
the people against the league in this
State. We pay our dues to the Ma
tional League, which have amounted
to just 500 for the whole State of
South Carolina during the past four
teen months. BY paying our dues to
the National League we are kept in
touch with them and have the pTivi-
lege Of calling on them for men
when needed, without cost except ex-
penses. In this way we got Dr.. J. w.
Young to start the work in South
Carolina, DR.. Hare to campaign and
organize for us seven weeks, and DR..
Baker to help US for ten days during
the month of April Of this year.
= But while we stand ready to do
our part, we beg the brethren to
push this battle for all it is worth.
Let the pastors in each county get
together or write each other, and
plan campaigns among the churches.
Send thirty-five cents to US and we
will mail you prepaid the Anti-Sa-
loon League year book, which con-
tains nearly three hundred pages of
data, covering the United States.
The central committee at each court
house town must look after matters
in the county. Appoint local COM
mittees at each voting precinct to
obtain the vote if possible. Do this
at once. Work on the doubtful voter.
Put information into his hands. See
to it that. the election is conducted
legally. Use all papers favorable to
our cause. Remember, we have
only three months to work. The
same election commissioners ap-
pointed by the governor for the last
general election will act at the elec-
tion In August. Find out who your
three men are and ask for at least
one good sensible prohibitionist to
be appointed as one of the three
managers at each voting precinct Be
sure to have every qualified voter
registered when the books are open
ed for registration, the first Monday,
Tuesday, and Wednesday of June

Miles q Minute.
A new comet which is flying
through space at the rate Of many
million miles minute, may be seen
by the naked eye just after sunset
any evening on the Southwest hori-
zon, according to Edward Fairfax
Naulty and other noted astronomers.
Because of the direction Of the
comets fight and the relative posi-
tion Of the earth, its head is not visi-
bic, but Mr.. Naulty says that its
tail, which is several million miles in
length, can be clearly detected. The
astronomers agree that there is no
danger of a collision with the earth.

Boston, Aug. 25-At his farm in AS
sinippl, Rear Admiral Joseph Giles Eaton.
L. S. ". retired, gave an interview to
the reporters to-day. At his cottage in
scituate. where Mrs. Eaton and June are
located. Mrs. Eaton said this afternoon
that she would at once begin steps TO
have the admiral examined as TO his
sanity.
She said that soon after her marriage
to Admiral Eaton she discovered he was
not clear in his mind, but she made the
statement stronger than this.
Mrs. Eaton said she persuaded the ad-
miral to don overalls and work out OF
doors as much as possible and that the
simple life brought him back 10 a fair
state physically. although his mental con-
dition did not improve.

cused me Of attempting to poison them
so many times that the accusation after
a while lost its weight and became mere
~ q joke-and then the joke became
tragedy.
Her latest accusations are cruel, but
they have lost their power to hurt
AS for June, the little girl believes she
has reasons. I think she has believed
that reasons existed for all the charges
she has made. against me during the
last three years. So many times has
she charged me with attempting her
life. that, after time. little Dorothy
began to joke with me about it,
Look she would cry. running up 70
me and crooking her little finger. when
June would meet with some trifing mis-
hap. June has been poisoned. "
Dorothy IS the admirars twelve-year-
old stepdaughter. another daughter OF
the woman who has made the latest
charges. She has stuck by the old sailor
10 the end. ridiculing her mothers ac-
cusations and reiterating her belief in her
stepfather.
