WE'D. APRIL 9, 1913

temperance WOrkerS CnTOuSu-
out the country are highly graf
flied over the law, recently
passed, preventing the shipping
of liquors into dry territory.
Many seem to believe that this
law will practically remove the
evil that has so long pulled down
the strong and destroyed the
weak; that has blighted fair
prospects of many young men,
and wrecked the happiness of
homes and communities. Cong
ress passed this measure over
the Presidents veto on very
short notice. 1t seemed that a
great majority felt the necessity
of giving the people what they
desire as expressed by letters,
petitions and kilograms. The
President vetoed it on the ground
that he did not consider it con-
stitutional. This will be tested
in the court, but when, or how
long tits unknown. We fail to see
the good in the law that many
see. Certainly the spirit of the
measure is good, but we fear il
will prove misguided zeal. II
the government will refuse, or il
it could be compelled to reject
all applications for the man,
ufacture of intoxicants in dry
territory, then the Webb law
would be crowned with victory.
AS it is the stills will operate
where express and freight can
not, and in many communities
the manufacture will fill the de-
mand that has heretofore been
supplied by shipments. Of the
two evils, our judgment is that
the still house making its prod
uct under law and disposing OF
it in violation of law is far more
to be dreaded than the shipments
heretofore permitted. In fact,
we cannot see as some others
see, and while ready and willing
to restrict the sale and use of in
toXicants to the lowest poinr
possible, yet unwilling to espoust
a measure that leads only to dis
appointment. To make effec
tive the anti shipping law, feder
al respect for local government
must be secured, by preventin.
the manufacture in local optiol
territory. Unless this is don
the smoke from the still will b
seen in many places that nov
receive only a limited amount Q
the stuff. Temperance worker
should get busy in asking Cong
ress to prevent its manufactur
in dry territory, or else they ma
expect worse conditions to pr
vail. We merely give the war;
ing under the full belief tn;
stills will be operated for tt
Webb law as we see and belize
it has broadened the field f
their operation.

OFFICERS ELECTED
BY CITY COUNCIL
All Officers Reelected with the Excep.
tiOn of City Clerk.

tiOn of City Clerk.
The new city council held a meet
Ing in the council chamber Thursday
night and went into the election of Of
ficers to fill the different places made
vacant incident upon the Inauguration
OF the new mayor and aldermen. The
election was by secret ballot, the vote
of the mayor and aldermen not being
made known to each other or to the
outside world. No record OF how the
different men voted was made in the
minutes and it was agreed in the meet
ing before adjournment, according to
one of the aldermen, that no one would
make their vote public.
The interest in the election centered
around the selection of clerk and a
metre reader. City Clerk Roland, who
has held the office for several years
and against whom no charges of in
competence or failure to discharge his
duties were brought, was defeated for
reelection and c. w. Kitchens, until
recently Of Spartanburg, was elected
in his place. In the election of metre
reader, j. e. Philpot, who now holds
the position, was reelected over Hanse
Crews, the other applicant. r. e. Babb
was reelected city attorney.
Chief Of Police w. S. Bagwel and
Assistant Chief Langston and Privates
w. H. Doson, Don Irwin, Rhett Reid
and James Powers were reelected
John H. Henderson was reelected
superintendent of streets, H. L. Blout
superintendent of the power house and
James Davenport manager of the fire
department team.
The salaries attached to these Offices
are as follows: mayor SIS per month;
chief Of police SIS per month; city
clerk SIS; five other policemen at $50;
metre reader $50; superintendent Of
streets $55; manager of fire depart
ment team $40; superintendent of
power house $500 per day In addi-
tion to these there are three negroes
employed on the water and light de-
partment, one at $1.35 per day and the
others at $100 per day. H. l.. Blount
is contracted for by the week and the
others, except the negroes, are con-
tracted for by the month.

Flag Raising.

Those of you who We're fortunate
enough to be in the immediate vicinity
of the new p. o. last Wednesday and
not being familiar with the cause
probably wondered at the large and
enthusiastic gathering which spread
itself along Main street at that point
For the information of those not know
ing, 1t might be we'll to state that there
was some fiagraising on the federal
building. Cheered on by the plaudits
of an admiring throng, Mr.. C. e.
Parker, the U. S. Government super
intendent, mounted to the roof and
tied Old Glory to the halyards and the
fiag-raising was on.
The silken banner, which was not as
large as first expected, flew proudly to
the breeze for about five minutes and
then hid itself behind the ropes. The
inspiring sight held the crowd spell
bound and when Mr. Parker descended
to the ground it was with difficulty
that he made his way through the
throng. 1t was a notable event.
The flag remained on high for a day
and now lies locked in the desk of the
government superintendent 1t is prob
able the largest flag ever flown on a
federal building in Laurens, it's di-
mension being inches by il inches.
careful estimate of those present
resulted in a disagreement between
the two spectators as to whether there
were three or two onlookers. In this
connection the silken flag will be in
troduced in the first act of that heart
