Columbia, July 30: Overshadow-
ing the issue itself in the Aiken coun-
ty whisky election appeal, is the Sc
we're arraignment of evasions of the
law I'm the casting of the ballot in that
county during the August election of
1909. the decision by Associate Justice
Hydrick filed today being an able dis
cussion of the suffrage requirements
of South Carolina. Dismissing the pc
tition that the election be declared
void on account of illegal voting in
certain precincts, Justice Hydrick
points with unanswerable argument to
the constitutional requirement that
certificates be shown by
those desiring to vote, and upon the
statement of fact that some of the
voters in Aiken were allowed to cast
ballot when IAN attempt was made to
show compliance with the law by
proving that the managers knew the
voters personally" Judge Hydrick
declares: "Such palpable attempt at
evasion of the law will not be tolerat-
ed"

Columbia special of July 81, to the
News and Courier: Those who went
TO hear DR.. ]. Walter Daniel, presid-
ing elder of the Columbia district,
paint a lurid picture of the vices of
this city were a bit disappointed to-
night. On the other hand, DR.. Daniel
drew beautiful lessons from life and
to those who listened to him
to consider well the uplifting intlu-
ences of the home and the dangers to
the boy or girl breaking away from this
potential influence. DIR. Daniel did not
hide the condition, though, as he paint
ed it, that Columbia has its vices as
has no other cities. Il am told, de-
clared DR.. Daniel, that there is in this
city the most handsomely furnished
house south of Philadelphia. but | do
not know this to be a fact. | do not
know where the houses are, but | am
told that Columbia has it's hundreds Of
residents of the demi-monde. Your
city has it's evil influences, as has every
city" This, i'm brief, was DR.. Daniers
only reference To the reported state
ment, that in a sermon at Lexington,
he had said columbia is the wicked
est city south of Philadelphia" Sew
eral times in the course of his sermon
DR.. Daniel referred to the sensational
ism of the newspapers" At the very
opening of his sermon he told his hear
ers that if any had come to hear a
sermon they would be dis
appointed. Later in his remarks DR..
Daniel said: Yes, / am going on
preaching sensational sermons" and
again he referred to the newspapers
saying that "only newspa-
perS can create sensations" Using
the lesson of the Prodical Son, DIR. Dan
iel stated that the most potential inilu-
cnce is that of the home: that more
Young men are ruined by having
money put into their hands" rather
than into their heads and hearts" than
in any other manner, was DR.. Daniels s
statement. He referred in this cOnncc-
ton to the practice of fathers giving
money To boys about to attain their
majority. and To the evil influences en-
cuumtercd when these boys go into the
world with their money. Money is
life" said DR.. Daniel Back of every
dollar there is So much energy. 1t is
not right for one to have money, who
does not know the value of it, DR..
Daniel said that boys should he cdu-
Gated with the money instead of having
il placed into their hands to spend, and
of their own they would know
the value of ii. Taking apparently an
other line i'm his sermon, DR.. Daniel
upbraided mothers for spending so
much time at bridge parties" He
was sorry To see that such influences
were put before the boys and girls. He
thought this time might he better taxi
cn up with making a better home. DR..
Daniel stressed the necessity of an up
lifting home life, which the boys and
girls might live i'm or return to. Dr.
Daniel said that he had made the same
sermon in this city last Sunday night,
at Green Street Methodist church. and
at Lexington last Sunday afternoon.
He dismissed the matter of sensation
aliSm with his statement with refer
cucc to the newspapers. The WASH
imgton Street Methodist church was
crowded this evening. 1t could easily
br seen that there We're many people
present who were not members of the
