A PROUD RECORD.

The first Monday in September IL
admittedly banner day in Columbia
This year the streets were thronged
with one of the largest crowds that
teeming with life, and marked activ.
| ity in every commercial line, it is
noteworthy that the blind tiger oper-
ator was not busy, and that no case
Of public drunkenness was reported.
Members of the police force stated
that they did not so much as smell
intoxicants upon the breath of any
man-and the Columbia police force
is noted for enforcing the law. This
is a record of which to be proud. 1t
is a record that substantiates every
claim made by the advocates of pro-
hibition when the saloon was voted
out of Columbia. Admitting that pro-
hibition prohibits, and there are few
who would not, it is evident that pro-
hibition also helps business. The
laims Of those who asserted that
grass would grown in the streets and
bats suspend themselves from the
ceilings Of business houses without
the saloon have been disproved The
county and city are financially
healthy, the people are happy and

MONDAYS MEETING.

II there vas ever any doubt as L
Maury cOunty's attitude on law en-
fozcement thet doubt was dispelled
b. tie enthusiastic mass meeting held
in the Circuit Court room Monday
ecisu3ut to tie cali Of the Central
statewide committee. No more en-
tLuslasf meet, ne has been held here
in recent years. ard II was a common
expression that he meeting was rep
resentstiye OF BE- best citizenship Of
the county.
The ruri ose Of the meeting was the
most laudabls that could inspire hui
man endeayor. T. was not a meet
ing Of politicians with nests to feath-
er. nor was It en- assemblage Of those
who had axes to grind. 1t was rather
the yoicing OF a belief in good govern
ment and honest government. such
government as has been the aim of
the American people since the days
OF our earliest history. 1t was
frank expression, an open expression.
No man tried to conceal from his left
had what his right was doing, nor
did any come with blushing faces or
dropping heads.
The meeting was remarkable from
many standpOints. 1t was remarkable
in its splendid personnel, its iltelli- /
gence and its determination. But it
was more remarkable still in that it |
was not held for the purpose of es-
pousin gthe cause of any candidate or
set of candidates. It did not meet
to put forward men, but to put for
ward principles. So long have issues
been obscured by the personality of
candidates, that the obscuring of per- I
sonalities by issues is a welcome re-
lief-one that signifies the attainment
Of higher levels in popular govern
ment.
That prohibition in Tennessee has
come to stay is certain. 1t has been I
.ried and found not wanting When !
Mondays tremendous throng gath ;
cred here and the day passed without
a single unpleasant incident or a +
single arrest for drunkenness no fur ,

ion was needed. The prohibition law =

Columbia Military Academy opened

circumstances especially suspicious.
With every room taken, other applica.
tons coming in, and large atten-
dance from Columbia and the sur
rounding territory, the school has the
brightest outlook for successful
year since it's establishment. This is
and should be a source of congratula-
ton to the citizens of the town and
county, who feel in every educational
institution within the borders Of
Maury a deep and abiding interest.
Columbia is destined to become one of
the school centers of the state, and
the succeeding years find the local
educational institutions expanding and
growing. Hardy & Edgerton deserve
the highest praise for their untiring
efforts to make G. NJ. A. what it
should be-the best military school in
the entire South.
