THE charge of The Yorkville En-
uuirer that the diSpcnSary law in
Richland is violated as it is violated
in Charleston is virtually withdrawn
in an article i'm The Enquirer and TIL"
Enquirer shifts To a discussion of what
might take place III Richland if prohi-
bition were the law as it is in York.
So something is gained. 1t being con
ceded that n consistent and successful
effort to prevent the illegal sale Of
whisky in Richland, under the opera
ton of the county diSpenSary law, is
carried ON, the burden goes To the Pro-
hibitionists to prove that the county
dispensary law should be supplanted
with O prohibition statute-which The
YOrkville Enquirer. leading prohihi-
tiun newspaper, thinks would not be
enforced. The Enquirer has unwit-
tingly provided the local option advo-
Gates with an excellent argument. why
not let well enough alone in Richland
If prohibition would make conditions
worse ?-Columbia State.
If we have made any unwilling ad-
mission, we do not yet realize the fact
All we want is the truth, and If we
suppress the truth it is mwittingly
Charleston and Columbia contend that
4 because IldJpIllN VI bIISIi NIiisNhS
want whisky, it Is unfair for the bal
ance of the state to violate the prin-
ciples of local self lf-government by
forcing prohibition upon them. We
answer that since they do not obey
the dispensary law, they would not
obey prohibition law, and that there
fore they would suffer no more injus-
tice under prohibition law, than they
do under the dispensarv law. In the
circumstances they have no more right
to fight prohibition than they have to
fight the dspensary. AS we see it,
they are neither on the prohibition side
nor the local option side, and we do
not see on what ground Prohibitionists
would give them special consideration.
1t is fact that Columbia treats the
present law with more respect than
does Charleston: but her earnestness
is not sufficiently conspicuous To take
her out of Charleston's class.

TIE Yorkville Enquirer in recent
issue comments on the remarks of
| the Newberry Observer on an editor
| ial which recently appeared in the
News in regard to the province or
petit jures. The Enquirer says: That
'the working of conscience and Judg-
ment is the province of the presiding
| Judge" Now what inspired the article
which appeared in the News was
Judge Gruber's remarks to the grand
| Jury when he said that neither judge
nor jury had anything to do with
mercy that being in the hands of the
chief executive only" We took the
position that juries are in a measure
representatives of popular justice not
| finding their verdicts in strict accord
ance with the hard and unelastic
texts of the law, but in accordance
with the highest dictates of common
sense and mercy. If this is not the
case why was the jury system inau-
gurated? Why are the facts in the
case left wholly with the jury? Why
not let the judge decide both law and
fact and say whether or not the state
has made out its case? If the jury
system was not inaugurated for the
purpose of populariZing the admins
tration of the laws of the land then
we ask for what purpose was II inau-
gurated? And if it was inaugurated
for this purpose does it not bring US
back to our original proposition that
juries should render their Verdicts
according to the highest dictates of
common sense and mercy? In cOun-
tries where this principle Is not recOg-
nized anarchism flourishes and those
whose duty it is to enforce the laws
live in daily fear of their lives. We
o.
spect for the opinions of both the
Newberry Observer and the Yorkville
ENQUIRER but we do not think that
either of these excellent papers have
given the subject due consideration.
Cherokee News.
What Judge Gruber said to the
grand jury was exactly right.
The jury system was not inaugurated
to populariZe justice or the law either.
1t was inaugurated solely for the pur-
pose of establishing facts.
If defendant is before jury on the
charge of homicide, ii is the business
of the jury merely to establish from
the facts applied to the law as laid
down by the court what degree of
homicide may have been committed.
1t is an unfortunate fact that juries
do often undertake to exercise judg-
ment and mercy in accordance with
the dictates of their conSciences or
prejudices. but they have no right to
do so. and when they do So, it is in
violation of their solemn oath.

people annually in South Carolina,
causing about 5000 to be seriously i'll,

ing the state per year in loss of life,
loss of time. burial expenses. medi-
cines. doctors bills and other inciden-
lentals, more than $6,OOO,OOO, to say
nothing of the misery, sadness and
worry, is very instructively discussed
in bulletin recently issued by the
state board of health. The germ is
the typhoid fever germ and its most
valuable assistant is the common
house fly.
"One of the greatest agencies in the
spread of typhoid fever is the fly" says
the bulletin, 'and So well established
in this fact. that the fly is frequently
called the typhoid fly"
Discussing the spread of the disease
Of typhoid fever il is stated that in the
last few years that it has been found
that typhoid fever may he and in fact
is spread by what is known as the "ty-
phuid carrier''-the carrier being a
person who has had typhoid fever and
apparently rcgained his health, though
still harbors the germs in an active
state i'm his intestinal and urinary
track. Ii is stated that several cpl
denies have been traced To- this source.

lctin. lit requires no imagination to
see that there are many ways in which
the typhoid bacillus, when at large.
may get into our bodies, and yet it
would not seem an impossible task to
prevent him from getting at large"
The following rules are asked 10y the
state board of health To he remember
ed:
THAT typhoid is Il catching disease.
That il is q prcvcntablc disease.
THAT il is caught 10y taking some
thing into the mouth.
That it is prevented by not allowing
food and drink To become poisoned.
