SOUTH CAROLINA NEWS.

anu 1eralQ, was In the city u low
hours this morning on his way home
from a visit to relatives near Green
wood. Mr.. Fooshe, who Is intensely
interested in the subject of good roads,
thinks that Fairfield county is on the
right track in undertaking the con-
struction Of sand.clay roads. The
sand-clay road as Mr.. Fooshe says,
costs comparatively little compared
with the macadam road, appears to
wear better, and when repairs are me-
cessary, can be mended with much
less trouble and expense. Mr.. Wins
low, a government expert, whose SER
vices are obtained at no cost at all to
the county, Is now at work near
Winnsboro demonstrating to the coun-
ty authorities how this road should be
constructed at the least expense and
along lines to give the most satisfac-
tory results.
- Greenville, August 18: Sheriff L.
w. Tucker and his deputies went out
last night to hunt for moonshine
still near Shelmerdine, about which
he had received information. The Of
flcers found the still about sixteen
miles from Greenville and two white
men named John Brinson and Frank
Sutton, who were running II with q
negro who was employed by them.
Sutton and the negro were arrested,
but Brinson, armed with q shotgun,
defied the officers. One Of the depu-
ties shot him In self-defepse as he was
In the act Of firing, the shot proving
fatal. Brinson was an old offender
and had the reputation Of being q
desperate character. He had figured
in both state and Federal courts for
violations and once escaped prison
while serving sentence. Sutton and
the negro were brought here and plac-
ed In jail this afternoon. Several kegs
OF brandy and whisky were destroyed
and the still demolished.
- Columbia, August 10: Gov. Ansel
was very much interested In the re-
suit Of the dispensary elections as re-
ported in the State yesterday morning.
The result was no surprise to his ex-
cellency and being personal prohfbi-
ZIONIST he watches with pleasure the
gradual spread Of the dry wave in the
south; His position as to the LIQUOR
question was outlined In his last mes
sage to the general assembly which
was carried out with the consent OF
the loc.a option members OF the house
and se%ate, with some changes. Gov.
Ansel ffvored q law making the entire
state dry, there being at that time 81
counties wet" He then thought that
q vote should be taken In the counties
affected and further suggested that
should these counties 60 wet" that
liquors Of every kind be sold in origi-
nal packages. This last suggestion

ment Of the law In my Judgment
there Is where We must now concen-
trate our energies The substance,
not the FORM, is what we want IN
our rejoicing over our recent victories
we are napie 70 ioreet tnat an reality
only q small part OF the nsnt mas peen
won. we must see 70 u tnat the law
is enforced ana 20 90 tnn we must
commune 70 puiio up an anu-Wnisky
sentiment. In addition 70 this would
suggest the organisation OF law and
order leagues; under the auspices OF
these leagues, appoint committees In
each section Of the counties, charged
with the duty or assisting the ofhcers
In the enforcement OF law. I want to
emphasize the fact that we can not
wholly rely upon the regularly con-
stituted authorities Tor the ENFORCE
ment and In some instances they are
not In sympathy with US; and even II
they were they alone can not succeed.
In my JUDGMENT the great fault in ref
erence to the enforcement Of law Is In
our Individual failure to give active
assistance to the officers Of the law.
What the next general assembly will
do I can not say, but I believe IL will
pass a statewide prohibition law. 1t
will not do to let the few remaining
wet counties destroy the effect to
large extent, OF prohibition In the sur
surrounded by dry territory: Is it wise
to allow her to sell TO the counties
that have said thew do not want II
sold to their people? And the same
argument applies to the other dispen-
sary counties. The logic OF the situa-
