Aid for Belgians.

An organized effort is being made
throughout South Carolina and the ma
tion to secure aid for the Belgians. In
pursuance of a we'll conceived plan,
Ex-Gov. J. C. Sheppard has been re-
ouested to solicit funds, clothing and
food from the people of Edge6eld
county. Forward to him whatever con-
tribution you feel called upon to make
to this very worthy cause, and he will
in turn promptly forward it to the cen
trail committee.
The little country of Belgium has
been devastated by the Germans. With
homes burned, with crops ruined in the
fields, with husbands and sons slain or
in the forefront of battle, Belgian wo-
men and children who are too poor TO
seek refuge in adjacent countries are
literally starving. Added to the suffer;
ing incident to the war, is the rigor OF
winter, snow already covering the
blood-soaked soil. Were the winter as
mild as in our own God-favored Sunny
South, the suffering would not be 90
great. But Belgium is about in the
same latitude as Novia Scotia or New
Foundland on the Atlantic coast, which
makes the suffering in winter-when
there is suffering-much more intense.

made bv a portion of Au-

repeatedly made by portion of Au-
gusta's citizenship to arouse the peo-s
pie and the city authorities toa sense,
of their duty, to the end that the fla
grant lawlessness be suppressed. If
the press of that city has ever joined
heartily in the efforts put forth for q
better enforcement of law, it has es-
capped our notice. On the contrary,
the impression prevails in the mind Of
not a few that the papers of Augusta
are inclined rather to give the "cold
shoulder" to the efforts to close the
"near-beer" barrooms. While such a
condition exists Augusta will not pros
per as it deserves to. Would that there
could be general awakening for the
better enforcement of law in Augusta!

Difference in The Press.

There is a marked difference in the
newspapers Of Columbia and Augusta.
Recently the citizens of Columbia made
strong appeal to the city authorities
to enforce the ordinences against illicit
liquor selling, gambling and other
evils. At once the press of Columbia
fell in line and gave its influence to the
movement for moral reform. In fact,
we believe that the papers took the
initiative in the matter. AS result
of the combined forces, press and peo-
Pile, the open and fragrant violations Of
law have been stopped.
Augusta and the press of that city
afford marked contrast. There are
more than half hundred saloons do
ing business in Augusta in open viola
ton of the laws of Georgia. And it is
probable that there are also many
gambling places that are plying their
business to the decentralization of those
who frequent them. Efforts have been

Urges Road Building.

The editor of ihe Manufacturers
Record, in reporting the Good
Roads convention which was held
in Atlanta last week, made the fol-
lowing statement:
IF you would save the country
life of the nation,
If you would restore vitality to
the weakened country church life,
If you would destroy ,lliteracy,
If you would quicken ambition.
If you would lessen the loneliness
of country homes,
If you would make women and
children in country districts safer
by encouraging constant travel on
we'll made highways.
If you would develop diversified
farming,
If yoa would increase tho profits
Of farming and recue the cost of
foodstuffs BY lowering the cost of
delivering farm products to CITY
consumers,
You must learn that you can do
all these things by building good
roads, and that you cannot do any
of them so long as bad roads exist"

Tho. Mayors Good Work.

The people of Edgefeld ere commend
ing the efforts of Mayor Corley to
stamp out the illegal sale of liquor in
Edgefield. He acted wisely in employ
ing detective agency recently to aid
in locating and bringing the offenders
to justice, and we believe that he, with
the aid of his co-workers on the coun-
Gil, will continue his efforts along this
line as long as whiskey is sold habit
ually by white men and negro men and
women in Edgefeld' The sale of whis-
key is not on the increase, but there
are many citizens who believe that by
q persistent effort on the part Of those
in authority. the quantity sold canrbe
reduced very much lower. ii
Mayor Corley and the members of
the council have the moral support of
a large majority of the people Of Edge
field in their efforts to suppress law
lessness in every form. The people
stand ready to hold up their hands in
any and every way possible.
In connection with the enforc ement
of the town ordinances and the main
tanning of order, it is but just and
proper for US to say that the town has
never had two more faithful or more
conscientious marshals than it has al
present. Mr.. Parks and Mr.. Byrd will
both discharge their duty impartially,
faithfully and fearlessly.
Let the good work of bringing the
"blind tigers" to justice continue.
What we want to see, however, is
sentence or two, both white and col
ored, to the chaingang. When that
takes place the selling of liquor will
be reduced to minimum.

For Edgefeld kidney sufferers,

my back and sides. The action of
my kidneys was irregular. A de-
pressed and tired feeling took hold

great effort that could get around.
My back was lame and sore and l
could hardly bend or straighten.

ney pills and began using them.

Waging War in South Carolina.
reverse them,

Even those who are only partially
informed as to what is going on in
South Carolina know that a law-en-
forcement wave is sweeping the State.
For the iron heel of law to be placed,
so to speak, upon the necks of evil
doers augurs we'll for the future happi-
ness and prosperity of South Carolina.
1t is gratifying to see too that it is
widespread instead of being confined
to any particular section. BY purging
each local community of wrong doing
the entire State will be placed upon a
higher plane. We believe, too, that
the new day that has dawned has come
to stay.
Among the large cities, Columbia is
leading off, and let US hope that it will
not be long before Charleston will catch
step and keep up with the procession.

Money Retards Justice.

The money of Leo Frank, the Allan
ia murderer, is keeping him from the
gallows. Although condemned to be
hanged more than a year ago, on ap-
peal of his case has just been made to
the United States supreme court,
which means that it will yet be many
months before a final decision is
reached. Had Frank been apoor man,
the gallows would have claimed him as
a victim long ago. Money may make
the "old mare go" but it also retards
the dispensing of justice. The juriea
and the lower courts have all decided
against Frank, and it is not likely that
the highest tribunal in the land will
reverse them.

Horse Racing to Continue.

South Carolina, like the states thatare

out the horse-race gambling, but he
does not Glo it. He could make his
