Law AMPLE-HOEESTY LACKING.

There has been great deal
written and preached about the
prevalence of crime in South
Carolina, and, while we respect
the old maxim that all should
sweep before their own doors.
it begins to look as if there are
some who. when they wish to
rid their systems Of something,
they rush into the pulpits or the
press to publish to the world
how wonderfully bad South Car
olina has gotten to be; while
there is ground to complain Of
the amount of crime committed
in this State, when compared
with the character of crime com.
mitted elsewhere, we have some
good reason to be thankful it is
no worse.
Some of the most atrocious
crimes the human mind can con-
ceive of are committed in the
law enforcement States of Mas
sachusetts, Maine, New Hamp-
shire, Ohio, Indiana, New York
and California, in fact, crime is
almost universal, and we must
think that South Carolina is not
as black as she is being painted.
The crimes in this State can be
traced directly or indirectly to
the poisoned liquor sold by the
blind tigers; class get full of
this stuff, and there is no telling
what the end will be, nor who
will be the victim. But while
this is true, it is going to con-
tinue until the citizenship be-
comes determined to do it's duty,
and give its aid to suppress the
evil. tits foolish attribute the
lax enforcement of the law to
the officers, they are absolutely
helpless, unless the citizens fur
nish them with the material and
the proper authority upon which
to act. The law is ample to cur
tail crime, and the officers are
ready and willing, it is there
fore, up to the citizens to do
their part. The Judge on the
bench cannot sentence until a
inry renders a verdict, nor can
a jury render a verdict until the
evidence justifes it, and the
officers cannot bring the law.
breakers before the court until
some citizen SWearS out the nee
essary warrant. The laws can
be enforced, and will be. if people
quit their everlasting complain
ing and go to acting. If crime
is to be diminished, if the illicit
sale of liquor is to be decreased,
then those who are urging law
enforcement should see that the

Effect Of Music on AniMos'

A unique musical experience hss

It was resolved to institute concerts

The results of the observations made

There are demands for new
appropriations from the iegisla-

the taxpayers are complaining
of the increase in taxation.
There is a demand for $40: 600

for the militia, additional
amounts for the colleges, and
numerous other demands with

If there are clubs in any COM
munity that the people are not in
sympathy with, they can rid
themselves of them in short
order by appealing to the law
which is ample. Did we have the

one else can desire to protect

The trouble is not with the
law, but it is with those who
seek to get others to pull ches-

There is no community cursed

is no sincere wish to stop them.
Not so with the walking blind

Clemson College, Dec. 1.-THE
Clemson students are anXiously look

days which begin Saturday noon,
December 20, and continue through
New Years day, and coming back
January ..
This last terms work as a whole
have been fewer numDer of failures
in the history Of the college. There
has been fewer number of failures
and It seems that more boys will have
their names on the honor roll than
usual Last year DR.. Riggs started
an honor roll, on which all those
students who had no failures, no
work behind and less than twenty
demerits we're eligible. This seemed
to put new life in the student body
and the class work has shown won
derful improvement since that time.
This roll is gotten out at the end of
each term and sent to the parents of
all those boys whose names are in
cluded in the list.
At the beginning Of the year the
president suggested to the boys that
they try the plan of turning out
classes in the afternoon at o'clock
instead OF o'clock, and having
classes up till noon on Saturdays.
This plan was tried out for the first
term and everybody was so well
pleased with 1t that they want to
adopt 1t for the whole year. 1t gives
more time for athletics and recrea-
tion of other kinds in the afternoon
and keeps the class work each day
from being so long and tiresome.

down the street. This cure certainly
works.
DR.. Kress gives the following rule
to those who want to stop smoking:
1. Determine that you want to
stop.
2. Wash your mouth after each
meal for three days with a silver
nitrate solution (one-eighth of / per
cent?
3. When a desire for smoking ap-
pears chew gentian root. Five cents
worth will last a long while.
4. For the first two weeks after
beginning treatment make your
meals of fruits, well-baked cereal
foods and milk. Buttermilk or malt
ed milk may be used in place of tea
or coffee.
5. The typical city mans lunch of
a ham sandwich, literally covered
with mustard, and cup of coffee
must be abolished in favor of a more
nourishing and less stimulating meal.
g. Turkish baths assist in getting
rid of the stored up nicotine.
The great majority Of our boys to-
day are being terribly dwarfed in
mind and body through the cigarette
habit. This simple remedy will effect
cure and is in the reach of all.
Get your silver nitrate solution
(one-eighth of per cent? from your
physician or druggist and follow di-
rections explicitly. Only wash out
the mouth. Don't swallow any of it.
1t creates n peculiar distate for to-
bacco.
This wonderful discovery comes
, none too soon to save the boys of our
land.

HOW TO STOP SMOKING
CIGARETTES.

(By Albert Deems Belts }

Thousands of men and boys would
like to quit, but they can't. They
are enslaved by the habit. On rare
occasions boy will through sheer
force of will quit. But most cigar
cite users need help.
Such help is now within your
reach. Go to your physician or drug
gist and get a silver nitrate solution

out your mouth with it. 1t won't
hurt you, and you won't want to
smoke either. Try it.
The Anti-Cigarette League (com-

co users are finding it to be a God

''Dr. d. III. Kress, general secretary
of the Anti-Cigarette League, who
has forsaken his practice to devote a
large share of his attention to the
rewly established work. does not
claim the credit for the discovery of
this cure. The details of the mouth
wash were in fact published in 1908,
but attracted little attention.

ed that habitual smokers are large
consumers of tea, coffee, meats and
highly seasoned foods He found
that when a man limits his diet to
milk, baked cereals and fruits, desire
for tobacco is very much lesseed
Combination of attention to diet with
the silver nitrate mouth wash con-
stitutes the basis Of the cure"
The same journal gives a very
illuminating discussion of the bad
effects of the cigarette, or rather the
cource from which those bad effects
come:
Recent scientific investigation and
examination of the smoke produced
by the burning of a cigarette shows
that the nicotine of the cigarette is
far less virulent than are the carbo-
mic oxide and other products OF its
combustion. The loose structure of
the cigarette is said to cause the pro
duction of this poisonous gas. Car

that the constant irritation of the

It is alleged, Walter l.. Guranous, the
shooting occurring in the dining room
of Mr.. and Mrs. Hite at Batesburg, is
resting behind the bars of the Lex
ington county Jail, having been ar
rested at her home in Batesburg yes
terday by Sheriff Sim j. Miller and
brought to Lexington in the sheriff S
automobile.
Mrs. Hite was arrested on a war
rant sworn out before Magistrate A.
II. Blease by John c.. Darby, chief of
police Of Batesburg. in which she is
charged with being an accessory to
the shooting.
The affidavit sets out:
THE ACCUSATION.
That on information and belief at
Batesburg. Lexington county, state
aforesaid, on the 9th day of Decem-
Der, 1913, one Ella Dele Hite did

the form Of the statute in such case
made and provided and against the
peace and dignity Of the state.
Mrs. Hite refused to be interviewed
after reaching Jail, telling Sheriff
Miller that she would not make a
statement now, but in few days she
would be pleased to talk.
TWO NOW IN JAIL.
Gurganous, who is charged with
the shooting is occupying a cell on
the upper floor OF the Jail, while Mrs.
Hite occupies a lower cell just to the
right of the cell occupied by the
young man. Carrying out the in
structions of Solicitor George b.

SHOT IN Ills HOME

The shooting for which GurganOuS
and Mrs. Hite are being held occur
red in the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Hite,
at Batesburg, on Saturday night
about o'clock. Mr.. Hite left his
work at the store of l.. ID. Cullum to
go to supper, little before o'clock,
and few minutes later a pistol shot
rang out. Nearby neighbors rushed
to the home OILY to find Hite with a
pistol wound in the lower part of the
neck.
Gurganous and Mrs. Hite were
found in the home together, it is
said, Mrs. Hite being at the telephone
trying to get a doctor when the first
person arrived. The weapon with
which the wound was inflicted was,
1T is alleged, the property of Mr.. Hite
and has never been found. Gurgan-
GUS was arrested few minutes later
at the home of Mr.. Hite by Chief of
| Police John G.. Darby and was rush
ed to Lexington in an automobile.
: The feeling at Batesburg against
! Gurganous seemed to be so strong
that a cirCuitous route was chosen by
the officers in order that no attempt
at summary vengeance might be
made.
GURGANOUS DENIES SHOOTING.
Gurganous has refused to make a
statement further than that he did
not do the shooting. His father and
mother, Mr.. and Mrs. A. NJ. Gurgan-
Gus, of Durham, n. c., came to Lex
ington yesterday and it is understood
that they secured counsel to represent
their son. So far as is known, Mrs.
Elite has not employed an attorney.
The condition of Mr.. Hite is said
to be grave. Upon the advice of
physicians he was carried to an Au-
gusta hospital yesterday. The injured
man is one Of the most prominent
and popular young men of Batesburg.
He has been for a number of years a
member of the town council and he
is held in the highest esteem.
The little S-year-old daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Hite, who is said to
have been a witness to the shooting,
is in charge of Mr.. IIite's mother at
Batesburg.
