STATE. WIDE PROHIBITION.

The favorite argument OF those
newspapers opposed TO prohibition
and II is getting TO be hackneyed, is
that prohibitionists are fanatics and
cannot be trusted; that they are sill
ly folks and II ever once i'm power the
country would go to the demnition
bow vows. The cbiefest of sinners,
and at present about the only spokes-
men for the liquor crowd, are the
News and Courier and The State. The
Spartanburg Herald, the Greenyille
News. as well as the Greenville Pied
mont. come out boldly for prohibition.
But II has become such a habit with
The News and Courier and The State
that they cannot refrain from taking
the side OF the opposition.
The State had good call down by
Mr.. j. X. Breedin, secretary for tie,
Anti-Saloon League for its rashness
and offensive remarks In reference to
prohibitionists. and II we surmise COR
rectly there is going to be some very
Independent thinking and acting or
the part OF the prohibitionists in this
fight they ar beginning for State
wide prohibition.
We fail to see wherein lies the
reason for opposition to what til.
prohibitionists propose to do. All they
ask for Is that the legislature make
provision for an election to be held
next September, on the. question of
Statewide prohibition. also that an
act be passed making the Webb law
apply TO South Carolina. This the
people OF the State are entitled to,
and the election Is proposed at time
when there will be no politics in
jected.
The cry of The State for enforce
ment of law in Columbia comes too
late to head off the wave OF righteous
Indignation sweeping the State as to
the conditions existing in our capi-
tai city. to say nothing OF the deplor-
able state OF affairs in the City by the
Sea. Unless we are badly mistaken
In the signs of the times, the hand
writing Is on the wall, and South
Carolina will get what her people de-
manded when the dispensary was
palmed Off instead Of prohibition. And
with Governor Manning as chief exc
cutive. we have no fear that this or
any other law will be enforced. Let
us make South Carolina as clean as

1T WAS THE INTELLIGENCER

came across copy of the Anderson
Intellfgencer the other day-I think
1t was the Inteliigencer-any way IL
was an Anderson paper and read
this prayer in the editorial columns of
that paper. 1t seems to me that I
have read or have heard that every
one in Anderson was singing that ola
familiar hymn-"Anderson is my
town." And I was surprised to find
such prayer even quoted in an An
derson paper. Now. in Newberry it
would make cap that would fit some
hcads-except when IT comes to hos
pitality-especially IL our guests are
the good women--theH we can't be
beat and every one stands together
tIt when 1t comes to business and the
boosting OF the town commercially or
otherwise-look out-somebody is go-
ing to he hit dead sure. Everybody
has hammer or hatchet or a stick
or a-tongue-that most dangerous
and most unruly Of all things that
knock-and he (she) does not fail to
use 1t. Maybe 1t will be different now
that every one got together on one
thing. Let us hope so.-Herald and

HELP ONE ANOTHER

We have thought all along that
there are too many people. who are
talking about hard times and are say
Ing that thekworst has not yet come.
1t is true that conditions are quite
different from ewhat they were a year
ago in Newberry. At this time last
year we had sold in this market about
$4,000 baleS of cotton against about
5000 at this time this year. Tie
difference in the amount OF money put
in circulation is about three times
the numt'erS of bales. Or in dollare
about $750,o00 against. 100000. That
OF course wall max, q difference In the
amount OF nercha ndise sold and debts
paid. But there Is no use to whine.
The one who catches 1t the hardest
is the merchant. especially the mer,
chant who. has sold his goods on -
credit. For this reason we have beer
of the, opinion that the farmer SHOULD
sell at least o part or his cotton and
pay the merchant as far as he can,
because 1t was the merchant that let
him have the supplies with which to
make tho cotton. But the talk and
the shutting down on all loans by the
banks has made the farmer afraid that
lie he sells his cotton and pays as far
as he can that he will then have moth
ing at aiFen which 10 make another
crop, and he Is holding on to what lit
tie cotton he has to help him through
another year. The trouble seems to
be q lack of confidence and the talk
mas had good deal to do with it.
What we need Is for every one to be
siai that Il is Ho worse than & &c, end
for every one TO do what he can to
help every one else, and 1t will all
come out for the benefit OF all con-
cerned. We must bear and forbear.
This country is too big and too great
for any one to suffer. Let the farmer
and the merchant and the banker all
work together and trust one another
and help one another and no one use
the power which he may have tempo
rarily 10 nDpress any one. Let us en-
deavor to restore confidence. And ev-
cry one pocket his share Of the loss
with good grace and o pleasant
smile. That the point.-Newberry,

A CHURCH REFORM

Atlanta churches are very much
stirred inst now over the ousting Of
ten MethiNiist stewards because they
belonged to locker clubs. The official
custer was Rev. Fl. M. DuBose, pastor
OF the First Methodist church, and his
act has stirred up discussion which
Is nation wide. This pastor expressed
the belief that these stewards should
either quit the church or the clubs,
and he had the courage OF his con-
vlctiOns.
Should this rule be applied in South
Carolina there would be many depict
ed church official bodies, and II any
real test of Christianity be applied,
not necessarily 80 severe as that of
the locker club, there would be a sad
falling off. 1t raises q nice question in
theology. and morals, il you please.
Is the church getting lax and allow
ing members to go to extremes. not
calling on them to strict account? ?
Does a mans standing in the business
world ever have anything to do with
his appointment to official position In
the church? Would It be possible to
make up full official board IL any
strict religious test were to be ap-
piled? How many members of the
modern church would a pastor dare to
call upon to lead in public prayer?
Does the church-the modern church
WELD any considerable influence in
shaping mans real life? Are church
members always leaders in moral re-
forms, and are they 80 because they
are church members? These are ques-
tions that one should ask and think
OF seriously.
1t mey be that this Atlanta pastor
has started a real reform in church
circles. At least he has had nerve to
dare do what he did. and he deserves
credit for doing as he has done. IL he
believes he Is right.
