now that they have decided, we
want to place this newspaper on
record as standing for the enforce.
ment of the law. If the pro-
hibitionists are going to recline
supiuely on "fowery beds of ease
and expect the millennium to
come, now that they have voted
out the liquor traffic, they are
apt to be sadly undeceived. The
law can be enforced, but the
people must do it. Prohibition
has not won the war; it has only
won a battle and the fighting
goes on all the time, only now
it is guerilla, instead of regular
warfare. Let the same degree of
zeal and energy that animated
those who made the campaign
against the dispensary successful
be injected into the war Oh the
illicit liquor dealers, who are apt
to spring up all over our county,
and the final victory is assured.
But it must be constant war.
fare; the forces of evil never
sleep ard consequently the sentinels
of virtue must be ever on their
guard.
Now, to bring about concert
of action in working for the COM
mon good of suppressing crime
and vice IN general, with the
particular aim to suppress the H.
licit liquor traffic, We would sug-
gest that those who actively favor
the enforcement of the prohibition
law now in force, call a meeting
of representative men from all
parts of the county to be held
at some convenient place and
systematize their work, co.ordinating
forces so as to cover every part
of the county. Such an organiza-
ton, if formed, would of itself
deter expectant law.breakers and
the men who 60 into it should do
50 determined to enforce the law
without fear or favor and teach
every offender what 1t means TO
wilfully flout the law.
If some such plan of cooperation
as has been crudely outlined be
pursued, prohibition will be a
success in Williamsburg county
and the loss of revenue will never
be felt.
Give the law a chance.

The death of Governor John A
Johnson of Minnesota removes
from the ranks of the national
Democratic party one of its tower
irg figures. Possibly at this time
there was no man in the party
whose political prospects were so
bright. Thrice elected Governor
of an overwhelmingly Republican
State, he was the idol of the plain,
common people, combining the ell
ements of rugged honesty with a
personality that drew men to him,
and, possessing withal, strength
of character and intellect that placed
him in the forefront among the ablest
statesmen of the day. Well might
President Taft say, short while
before Governor Johnson's death.
that "in time the nation might
call him TO its SERVICE" His death
Is great loss to his State and
severe blow to the Democratic
party.

MOODY MATTERS.
New School Building-TObaCCo As a
Money Crop.

Moody, September 20:--The new
graded school building is being push
ed to completion. Mr. J B Wilder,
the contractor, says that it will be
ready for occupancy by November l.
This is good news to all who are
interested in the education of the
children.
Good prices have been received
for the cotton shipped from here
this season. Several carloads of
tobacco have also been shipped from
here, and sold for remarkably good
prices considering the quality of the
tobacco. Mr. E Cox, of this vicinity,
planted four acres of tobacco which
netted him $50 an acre with 400
pounds of fertilizer to the acre.
Many other formers around here
did as we'll or even better. Some
of the tobacco planters say that
they would rather raise tobacco as
money crop at Sc pound than
cotton at 124c. That being the case,
there should be a large acreage Of
tobacco planted in this section next
year.

voiced their sentiments at the
polls On August Il as opposed
to the continuation of the county
dispensary system. inst tifty-three
DAYS more and Williamsburg will be
enrolled with the other thirty-six
"dry" counties of the State. Too
late now to consider the wisdom
or unwlsdom of their choice, the
people have spoken and their
will must be obeyed. The loss of
thirty thousand dollars to our
county viii. be appreciably felt
in the increase of both county and
town taxes, and unless the revenue
thus lost be replaced by a direct
tax, the roads. the schools and
the towns must 60 backward.
The people of the county, We
are confide mt. will not for mo-
ment consider the question of

highways CT their educational in.
stitutions, hence the only thing
to do is to go down in their
pockets. If the sentiment of mo.
rality that 1t is presumed actu-
ated the people in voting out the
dispeasary is worth anything at
all, it will withstand the shock
applied to the pocket book nerve
and the people responsible for
the loss Of revenue. as well as
those who voted the other way,
will pay their higher taxes cheer
fully or reluctantly, according to
the way they voted.
Thirty thousand dollars "a year
is big loss of revenue to
towns and county alike and there
should be some compensation.
Theoretically the loss is to be
of. set by the elevation OF the
morals of the body polite. If
1t be true that drunkenness and
crime are diminished by prohl-
bition, then We say the
revenue lost amounts to nothing
in comparison with the gain in
civic virtue. But if intemperance
and all the vices charged to the
liquor traffic still flourish, with
the additional crime of illicit
Liquor selling, it is evident that
the so,called prohibition law is
farce and Il humbug.
The point is this: The pro-
hibitionists have won an import
ant vantage ground by voting
out legal liquor selling; now it
is up to them TO see that the
voting out of the legal liquor
traffic be not the voting in of
the illegal sale of liquor-yclept
the "blind tiger Does there exist
a sentiment against liquor sell
ing strong enough to prohibit
the traffic N every form, or were
the efforts of the prohibitionists
only directed against the county
dispensary: This question must
be answered shortly. The law is
not going to enforce itself auto
matically it must be enforced.
We took no part in the recent
campaign, as We believed the
people we're capable of deciding
this question for themselves

ticket. Though Kuhio is not yet ready
to make definite statement to the
effect that he will decline to be a can.
didate for reelection, he admits that
he is by no means certain that he cares
to spend another term at Washington.
Business interests, partly in connec-
ton with the Kapiolani Estate, require
rather more attention than he is able
to give them at long range, and he is
considering the advisability of retiring
wholly from public life.
When asked concerning the report,
Delegate Kuhio said:
81 am considering the matter seri-
ously, and may conclude to retire, but

sion as yet.
But there are those, supposedly in
the confidence of the Delegate, who are
sure that he viii decide to allow his
name to be put up for election again
At any rate, the would-bes are begin
