what a wonderfully wicked city Sod
ON, was. And SO it was; wickeder
far than Chicago, or New York, or
even than New Orleans-and that is
saying 2 great deal.
"In one shape or another every
city takes its choice. If 1t chooses
to elevate vice and crime; to- rush
madly after money and pleasure; to
make a god of gold; to make bus
mess of grating and swindling; to
ignore honesty and truth and JUS
tice---it will suffer for 1t. The day
OF Judgment will come. Babylon
proved it, so did Athens, so did
Rome. So will all other cities that
run the course they ran.
"Pecple may not believe 1t, but
there is prosperity in righteous liv-
ing whsther it be by cities or individ-
uals. A city in this day that regards
honesty and decency and sebriety;
that respects the Sabbath and the
ten commandments, prospers more
than the city that defies the laws OF
God and man. The best towns and
cities in South Carolina are those
that come nearest the ideals above
named, the boneheads to the con-

The Choice Of Sodom.

Sometime ago The Times and DEM
ocrat suggested that unless a general
rain visited this State soon it would
be a good thing to hold prayer
services over the State, and pray for
rain, which was so much needed to
save the crops. A few people in
talking questioned the good of such
meetings and thought they would
do no good. We publish below an
editorial from the Newberry Obser-
yer, which we FULLY endorse, and we
ask these doubling Thomases to
read it.
Little as one may think Of it, and
little as the average man cares, the
choice of Sodom and Gomorrah
comes to every city in every age of
the world: not in the exact way in
which the choice came in the days of
Lot, and not because of the same
form of vice. AS there are varieties
Of vices, so there are varieties of
methods of des 5ruction. There IS no
probability Of fire and birthstone
raining down on any city, no matter
how corrupt, in these latter days;
but there are other methods of pun
ishments besides fire and birthstone
"It might be hard to find city of
the population of Sodom in which
the proposition made to Lot could
not be accepted. Every man who
has ever read the story OF the de-
struction of Sodom, has thought
