Convicts In Pajamas.

The Floyd county commissioners, Il
is reported, "have ordered ten dozen
suits OF pajamas for the county's con-
victs." Is there another county IN
Georgia or another penal institution
In the United States that provides
its prisoners with the fashionable
mig hties?" Who wouldn't rather be
a pajamaed prisoner in the Floyd

Col. r. B. Watson Presents. Ar
guments for Prohibition.

To the Editor of The State:
The Carey-Cothran law is in
some respects worse than the old
state dispensary. Under the old law
dispensary could not be opened
except by a majority vote of the
land owners of a town. Now if a
county votes to have the dispensary,
majority of the board of control,
two men, could open a dispensary;-
III any town in that county, if every
man, woman and child opposed it.
Was there ever a greater outrage
perpetrated on free people?
This feature of the present law is
enough to make any free man5vote
against the dispensary. There is not
aman in South Carolina that, advo-
4 Gates the dispensary except fer the
revenue that it brings. When he
knows that the money comes from
the very poor, how can he support
it2
Did you note what a large num-
ber attended the educational rally
at Saluda on August 10th? We are
waking up on the school question.
We have no dispensary. We are
using only small fraction of the
whiskey we used when we had a
dispensary- Prohibition is coming.
Surely the next legislature will give
us statewide prohibition.
Robert B. Watson,
Ridge Spring, Aug. IL.
To the Editor of The State:
Who should vote against the dis
.pensary on August II? 1 answer,
Every man who advocated the dis,
pensary" as a step towards prohibi-
ton. 1t closed hundreds of saloons
that ran day and night. And we were
pledged to vote for prohibition when
the dispensary was closed. Who else?
/ answer, Every man who is not
so low that he is willing to make
money to save taxes by selling
whiskey to the poor who need every
dollar they can earn to supply the
needs of the families" Every one
knows that the poor are the main
supporters of the dispensary.
Who else? answer, and 1 would
emphasize the answer, Every man
who processes to be a follower of
the Lord Jesus" Every Christian
man should stand where the great
apostle of the' Gentiles stood when
he said: IF meat make my brother
to offend, / will eat no flesh while
the world standeth, lest / make my
brother to offend" If the drinking
Divine is innocent in itself, / must
refrain for my brothers sake.
( Who else? I can't mention all in
short article. But certainly no
father or teacher should fail to vote
against the dispensary. I cal to
mind one father who had g fine
plantation, and thousands of dollars.
He became slave to drink. He died
pauper, leaving his children home
less.

Alcohol a PreserVatiVe

Alcohol is recognized the world
over as the proper most efficient and
wholesome preserver of medicinal
compounds, and while some journal
lists try to alarm the world by the
cry that patent medicines contain
more alcohol than beer they neglect
to state that proprietary medicines
are taken in doses from a teaspoon
full to a tablespoonful, while beer is
a beverage that is consumed in quaint
ties from a glass to several quarts
day.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound contains only 18 per cent alco-
hol, simply enough to preserve the
roots and herbs from which it is
made, and may be relied upon by
every woman in the land as reliable
honest and sure remedy for the ills
peculiar to her sex.
