Journal Changes Hands.

Mr.. Charles o. Hearon, editor of the
spartauburg Herald, has purchased g
controlling interest in the Spartanoure
Journal and has consolidated the me-
chanical departments of the papers.
The editorial management of the two
papers will be separate as heretofore.
Mr.. Hearon will continue to edit The
Herald and Capt. Charles Petty will
edit The Journal. We congratulate
Mr.. Hearon upon his acquiring The
Journal, and trust that his expectations
will be fully realized.
While the editor of The Advertiser
has not the pleasure of personal &C
ouaintance with Capt. Charles Petty
vet we are a very ardent admirer OF
him, regarding Capt. Petty as the
Grand Old Man of South Carolina jour
nalism. During the so years that he
has been engaged in newspaper work
in Spartanburg his heart and soul have
kept pace with his brilli mt intellect ir
development. Whenever an opportu'
nifty is presented we never fail to read
what Capt. Petty writes.

Clean Up Week.

Would it not be splendid idea for
Edgeheld to have 'tclean up week.?
In the matter of warding off disease is
not San ounce of prevention worth a
pound of cure"? Is it not the part of
pru udence and wisdom to remove the
causes Of sickness instead of waiting
until the town is in the throes of an
epidemic of some kind? These are ques-
tions that should not be cast aside
without due consideration. We are on
the Threshold of spring and summer,
the seasons when disease germs are on
the rampage. A thorough cleansing
of the premises now followed by the
free use of disinfectants may prove to
be the "ounce of prevention" while,
on the contrary, continued neglect may
end in great suffering, with something
worse than mere physical suffering as
possibility. From the standpoint of
economy, which is putting the matter
on a very low plane, it pays to
observe the laws of sanitation. 1t Is
much cheaper to remove the accumula-
tions of debris and refuse matter about
the place that are hot beds of disease
germs than it is to defray the expenses
incident to prolonged illness in the
home.
If every home owner in Edgefeld
will throughly clean his or her prem
ises, the town as whole will thus be
rendered clean and free from disease
germs. Take The Advertisers sug-
gestion and let's have "clean up
week" in Edgefeld. We suggest that
the week beginning with Monday the
2lst be observed as "clean up week.
Help to ag,tate the matter and let's
see how clean the entire town can be
made during the week beginning with
Monday the 2lst-

No More Whisksy Advertisements.

The State which occupies prominent
place in the front rank Of newspapers
in the south announced last week in an
editorial, which we republish in this is
sue. that after existing contracts for
whiskey advertisements have expired
or more advertisements of that char
ter will appear in its columns. This
voluntary stand by the leading daily in
South Carolina has been very heartily
commended by those VINO oppose the
sale of whiskey. The refusal of The
State to publish whiskey advertise
ments is not only severe blow to the
liquor interests but the decision of this
newspaper of great power and inf1u-
ence to align itself to that extent with
those who are endeavoring to suppress
the sale of intoxicating liquors gives
prestige to the cause.
Since the day of its founding The
State has always taken high ground.
It has never advocated the election OF
| an unworthy man to Office, nor have
the makers of The State ever failed
to champion the right in every exigen-
cy that has risen, never counting the
cost. This change of its advertising
epolicy is only another ins lance in which
THE State has taken high ground, in
the face of the fact that the change in
olved financial loss. The loss, how
yer, is more apparent than real. We
conf dently believe The State will gain
ra Their than lose by the change. The
Advertiser has refused whiskey adver-
tisements for the past II years and We
fee that no actual loss has resulted.
A newspaper, like the individual,
"doth not live by bread only"

Whiskey Advertisements Are to
be Discontinued.

From this date - new advertise
ments of whiskey will be accepted
by The State q, mpany, and after
the expiration Of q few existing con
tracts no whiskey advertisements
will appear in this newspaper.
Perhaps a brief statement of the
reasons influencing this change OF
policy would be appropriate. Tie
State has never regarded the legal
sale of whiskey as immoral traffic;
nor do we regard the consumption
of whiskey- the use without intem,
perance-as moral wrong. There
fore we do not consider the publica.
ton in a newspaper of advertise
ments of whiskey as improper or
illegitimate.
But there is another considera-
ton. A person normally orthodox
and with regard for conventions,
having few days or recreation
during the year might convince
himself of the morality Of hunting
or fishing in the wilds on Sunday
snould one of those days of fecrea-
tion fall ON the Sabbath. But if he
were a person having consideration
for the religious sentiments of 9TH
ers he would no: obtrude the fact
of his hunting or fishing on Sun
day upon the attention of church
congregation or upon any one wn :
would he offended by such action
The State has not been petlLlo,ed
or otherwise req tested tu dlscontnI-
ue advertisements of whiskey. but
many of the warm friends of thu
newspaper are earnest believers III
prohibition, and we conceive that
the appearance Of advertisements of
whiskey in The State is distasteful
if not offensive to them. We reecg-
nize that their feeling in regard to
such advertising is the logical sell
,iment of those who are pruhibi.
tionlsls ON principal. Having reach
ed that conclusion we have deter
mined to surrender the few thou
sand dollars annually derived from
that source in preference to publish
ing advertising that is jarring to the
sensinililies of some of The States
readers.-The State.
