BLEASE ON NEAR BEER.
Gfficers Ordered to Work Where Con.

Columbia. July 15.-"Near beer sa-

The governor directed attention to
a displayed article In the Union
Times of Friday, which he said set
forth the situation in Union as it was
described to him. The article is
headed Governor Blease orders
Sheriff Long to close down on near
beer. The article follows: Governor
Blease has ordered Sheriff Long to

MUST BE ON GUARD.

While as a measure of caution we
would rather not see any near beer
establishments in the city at all, re
ga.dless of the strength or weakness
of the liquid sold, still 1t cannot be
said that the City Council has shirked
its duty in the matter of granting the
recent privilege. When the near
beer proprietor asked for a license to
sell cold drink with only fourth
of one per cent alcohol, all the Coun-
Gil could do was to grant the privil-
ege. But we fear that the introduce
tion of the near beer saloon, regard
less of the strength of the beer. is
going to lead to the opening up of
other such places where stronger Ii
Guilds are sold. The officers should
be on their guard and the moment the
stronger liquid begins to be sold i'm

WHAT SHALL RE DONE1

1t is great burden that the Board
of Directors of the State Penitentiary
has shouldered in assuming full re-
sponsibility for the conditions at that
institution. They have admitted that
if fault is to be found there they are
to blame for it and not the lessee
While we admit that they are primari-
ly responsible for the contract there,
the Legislature acting we suppose up
on their recommendation in the mat
ter, our lawmakers are really re-
sponsible for the conditions and
through them the people themselves
1t cannot be denied, the Board to the
contrary notwithstanding, that the
hosiery mill is unhealthy
That the hosiery mill is clean, that
there is great deal of fresh air, that
everything is sanitary in there in so
far as sanitary methods can be put
into execution, that a modern tubercu-
losis Hospital is in operation and that
there are other hosiery mills outside
will readily admit But that the hos
iery mill is healthful we absolutely
and emphatically deny. In what 9TH
er community of four hundred people
is tuberculosis hospital such a
necessary adjunct? People i'm a DO
sition to know. from the most learn
ed scientists to the very convicts i'm
the Penitentiary themselves, tell us
that the nature of the occupation is
unhealthy The convicts have told
us the prisoners in the hosiery mill
look healthy, but their lungs amt no
count We have seen those in the
penitentiary except those in the hos
pitals and those in that dusty mattress
making department and we have talk.
ed with some who have come ONT and
the more that we have seen and the
more that we have heard the more
convinced are we that to work i'm the
hosiery will means an earlier and
surer death. For this crime the people
of this state will have to answer. To
shorten the life of prisoner i'm the
state Penitentiary is a crime on the
part of the state and will be traced
at the bar of judgment to every man
who willingly allows it.
The Board of directors has obstinate.
ly set itself up as both an authority
on health and as a judge of the law.
The State Board of Health, composed
in part of learned physicians, has de-
clared that the hosiery mill is un-
healthy and the courts are left to de-
eide whether the contract with the
lessees is valid or not. The occasion
Is one that demands that the highest
tribunals authority be sought I'm or
der to arrive at satisfactory soiu-
tion of the matter
IL the contract which Mr.. Graham
holds with the state Is not such
favorable one to him, we hardly think
that he would experience any dificul-
ty in procuring suitable labor without
the Penetentiary in case the conyicts
are taken from him. The truth Is
the lessee of the states convIcts has
what is called snap.
II no other way Is found to close
the mill. 1t Will be left in the hands
OF our legislature next year. The
responsibility Will then again be
placed on their shoulders.

OFFER PRIZES.

Now that the county fair is assum-
ing definite shape, we hope that the
people all over the county have come
to realize that 1t is a county and not
a town affair. If the fair is only sup
ported by the people of Laurens il will
be failure. If it is supported by
the people all over the county 1T is
bound to be success. In spite of
the fact that our fair is inaugurated
i'm rather inauspicious year the crops
in certain parts of the county not be-
ing what they should be, still we be-
lieve that enough enthusiasm has been
aroused and enough interest is being
taken to guarantee for the first year
as good an exhibition as other coun-
ties have after years of labor.
The different committees of the
Fair Association have held numerous
meetings and they have accomplished
much; but one more thing they want
to do is most important of all They
want to get the farmers to realize
that the fair Is going to be their fair
and not a Laurens fair. 1t must be
remembered that almost the entire
management Is In the hands of people
who live without the city of Laurens
and to them everybody is looking for
the success. They have asked that
the people OF the county take more in
terest In 1t. Heretofore, in all county
fairs. the merchants of the city in
which the fair has been held, were
supposed to supply all OF the financial
backing and the prizes. This year the
merchants have already contributed
literally to advertising space in the
premium list catalogue and they are
not going to be called on to give
prizes. They will be at liberty to do

HUMAN LIFE IN AIKEN COUNTY.
1t is easy to say good things about
ourselves, our county or state, but 1t
probably does not raise our standard
of morality and peacefulness to enum-
crate only our good qualities. There
is one very bad thing about Aiken
County and that is the cheapness of
human life. Killings are so common
here that when one hears of new
homicide one scarcely takes enough
interest in it to read the particulars
in the newspapers. In fact homicide
is no longer very much news.
man Is shot down, an inquest is
held, trial Is had and another comes
clear or goes to the penitentiary for
three or four years, but most often
comes clear. A monument is erected
over the dead mans grave and that is
an end to the whole thing.
There have been so many homicides
in Aiken county in the last few years
them. We can remember. however, of
very few homicides that have beer
committed with other than pistols,
which were carried in the pockets.
Very often the homicide may have
been justifiable-that is if it is possi-
BILE for one to justifiably commit q
homicide with an unlawful weapon
1t is fearful thing, this killing your
brother: leave your nistol home
Aiken Sentinel.
While The Advertiser does not set
itself up as an oracle nor is it one
of those who have sure remedy for
everything that turns up, still we be-
lieve that if The Sentinel will look
about IA little bit and study affairs in
Aiken County it WILL come TO the same
conclusion that we do. viz that whis-
key is at the bottom of the trouble.
1t cannot be said that whiskey is the
cause Of ell the homicides in Aiken
County, but we ,would venture to say
that If the whiskey traffic were re
duced in Aiken County, as it has been
reduced in Laurens County. that then
Aiken County would enjoy the freedom,
from lawleSsness that Laurens is en-
joying, today Laurens County. while
it cannot be said was noted. still it
was known for lawlessness in years
past. She is now known as a county
of peaceable and law-abiding people.
enjoying record of eight entire
months without a homicide. With the
reduction of the liquor traffic has
grown a respect for the law, the scnt-
ment of the people being against law
lessness of any kind.
Laurens County would prefer to pay
twenty mills in taxes and pave way
to prosperity and happiness than to
pay three mills and be pointed to as
a county Of lawl9s people where mur-
ders abound. life is cheap and children
are brought up in poverty and shame.
