Luxury Of SUGAR.

Sugar YVES considered an article OF
luxury In Europe until tea and coffee
became usual articles Of diet. Sugar
was then used to sweeten these bev-
erages and 30 gradually came to have
a prominent part In the daily diet. Be
fore the days Of sugar much more
meat was eaten and the drinking of
alcoholic beverages was much more
common. The fair maiden who could
not. with impunity, drink q pint Of ale
for breakfast was unusual. Perhaps,
In spite Of the fact that most Of IN
eat too much Of II, sugar In blessing.
Even oversweetened coffee and cereal
covered with sugar sound more bene-
fetal than q pint Of ale and half
pound Of beef for breakfast.

For Statewide Prohibition.

Representative Bradford, of
York, does not hesitate to say
that he stands for statewide pro-
hibition, says the Yorkville En-
quirer. He thinks that it would
be for the highest welfare of the
State, and he would like to see
the people give a prohibition ma
Jority at the polls so as to secure
the benefits of the Webb law. In
his opinion prohibition is now
the most important question be-
fore the people of South Caro-
lima, and he says that if they
are allowed the opportunity they
will vote for prohibition just as
surely as the sun rises on the
day of the election.

He has limited at such a step and

few days away. Gov. Blease
does not hold the record for a
single days pardons, that dis
tinction belonging to the gov
ernor of Texas. The chief ex-
ecutive of that State turned out
1853 prisoners. Gov. Blease's
record in this State is los.
There will not be enough
prisoners left to work the State
farms in South Carolina, and
many acres of land will be idle
because of the love of the chief
executive for the work of turn
ing out criminals. The governor

Carranza Gets His Back Up.

A Washington dispatch of
Monday stated that General
Carranza had formally notified
the State department that any
use of force by United States
troops at Naco, Ariz., in their
efforts to keep Mexican bullets
from American soil will be an
act of hostility, however well
disposed the government may
be-"
Carranza says General Hill
has controlled his fire and that
he is sending fresh instructions
to the Sonora commander to
avoid firing that would endanger
persons across the border. He
deplores that Americans have
been killed and wounded, but
suggests such accidents have
been due to carelessness on the
part of Americans or ''impru-
dent curiosity"
Further demonstration was
made by the United States gov
ernment Tuesday of it's determi-
nation not to tolerate continued
firing by the Mexican factions
at Naco, Sonora, into American
