A SineIe Line Poet.

Every man has the streak Of poetry
In him. and probably every man could
write one line of poetry out Of his life.
as any man has one novel in himself.
But we were talking nt large the other
day. and Il man quoted the line, "a
rose red city half rs old rs time" And
then came the question. Who wrote
that line that everybody knows? One
man said ii referred to Damascus. But
no one knew who wrote It,
There are single line poets as there
are Single Speech" Munitions, and
here Is perhaps the only instance In

For months Laurens citizens have
seen In these columns enthusiastic
praise OF Doan's Kidney Pills by Lau-
rcEs residents. Would these prominen
people recommend remedy that had
not proven reliable? Would they con
firm their statements after years had
elapsed If personal experience had
not shown the remedy to be worthy
of endorsement? The following state
ment should carry convection to the
mind OF every Laurens reader.

and the crew pcrishcd.
For all this Napoleon cared little.

report which struck him with secret
alarm-this Ill fated boat was called

CoatesvilIe Lynching Leads
to Closing Saloons

Westminster, Pa, March:-Coates-
Vile borough, as the result of the
lynching of a negro there in August,
1911, has lost all of its saloons. For
more than two weeks at the county
courthouse here the fight between the
license and no-license advocates wag-
ed strenously and the drys finally
were victors. Of fourteen prominent
hotels and saloons in this county,
eleven were closed at once, and three
were given further hearing. An eff
fort is being made to close UP all other
places and make the county entirely
dry and decisions are pending.
The no-license advocates presented
petitions signed by 1850 of the 49,
900 voters, and by $4,000 women.
Prior to the complaints in these cases,
other accusations of sales to minors
and drunkards had been filed with the
licensing court The court has de-
cided that applicants whose liquor
licenses have been revoked because
of law violation are unfit persons 70
hold new licenses, consequently their
places will be dry for a year.
In fighting against license in Coates
vile the burgess of that town said:
"Coatesville dirtied its skirts some
time ago, when it lynched negro.
A negro lynching would never have
occurred but for you men (the liquor
dealers). 1t was whisky-infamed
men who were responsible for the
outrage"
AS a result of closing up the
Coatesville places, the Saturday after
moons which used to be the terror of
the borough are quiet. Of course
many of those who cannot get along
without liquor go to Stottsville, Park
ersburg and bennington, but the ma
jority went home sober to their fam
lilies, thing a great many had never
done before. The stores of Coates
vile have been doing a good business
on the Saturday nights since the dry
regime began. Before the saloons
went out drunken men could be seen
reeling about the streets every Satur-
day afternoon and evening, but 90
drunken men have been seen since
and no arrests were made.
A peculiar fact emphasized by the
closing of the saloons is the popular
ity of the no-license program among
some classes of drinking men. Men
who do not want to drink but who
simply canrot take their pay envelopes
home without stopping in saloon
hail with joy the removal of this open
temptation.

the opposition to it without recourse
to the better method of having all
expression at the polls. Judges, who
as a class were so widely denounced
last year for setting too much store
by the letter of the law and ignoring
it's spirit, regardless of public opinion,
seemingly in some instances have TAX
en- a broader view of their powers and
