paper Enterprise Association.)

paper Enterprise Assoeiation.)
A bright newspaperwoman
heard of Eliene's gift to me of her
beautiful home to get well in and
wrote a smart paragraph In the
society columns about 1t.
It was rather amusing to see
how solicitous all my friends and
acquaintances were about my
welfare as soon as they knew
was there. The curiosity to see
Eliene's home was a great help in
making them remember my mis-
fortune.
With the exception of a few in
innate friends, whose names
gave to the butler, I am excused
to everyone who calls. I am not
yet well enough to entertain
toadies.
II is a perfectly glorious place
almost too grand to be honey, "
and my slightest wish is almost
anticipated as a matter of course.
IL Is wonderful what you can do
with money.
Mother Waverly fairly revels
In visits to me, now that she can
come to Eliene's home.
She was much peeved that
did not ask her to accompany me
here instead of Aunt Mary.

but 1t does not help any.

al would like to make
some nice homemade black
berry wine in season? Can
you please tell me how IL is
made? Your answer will
benefit others as we'll as
myself. HOUSEWIFE.
A.-Measure your blsckberries
and bruise them; to-every gallon
add 1 ut. boiling water; let the
mixture stand "a hours, stirring
occasionally, then strain off the
liquor into a cask; to every gallon
add 2 lbs. of sugar; cork tight and
let stand about one year. and you
will have wine fit for use without
further strsining or boiling.

al see people come TO
you for all kinds of advice.
| would like to come to you
also-perhaps you may help,
and perhaps not.
l am a widow and have a
nice home, but am tired OF
living alone. I hear there
are sevral matrimonial agen-
cies I'm this city. Do you
think IL wrong for them TO
advertise SO lonely people
may meet, especially those
who have other means of
meeting the opposite sex2
LONELY OLIVE.
Al cannot say that it Is
wrong, IL there are persons who
desire to become acquainted In
that manner. The worst disad-
vantage Is that those who join
these associations know the OBJ
ject and are apt not 60 reveal
their true characters by putting
their best foot forward. When
one meets and become acquainted
with people i'm everyday life they
have a much better chance co
know them as they really are.
Q.-What would you do in
a case like mine? have
known a certain young man
in this town for almost five
years. and he always took
his sister and | to different
places. He was always nice
to me and / think lots OF him,
but lately have accepted
the company of another boy,
and he refuses to speak to
me.
That hurts my feelings. I
couldn't look him right in
the face without speaking
like he does me, but will
take your advice. Shall
pass him like a stranger or
speak like we did once?
ANON.
A.-Pure friendship has ne
letters. Unless you are en-
gagged, you have the privilege OF
accepting the company of other
young men. Politeness Is a cheap
thing, and one of the finest quail
ties one may possess. ft Is really
your place to speak first anyway,
and II you wish to keep his friend
ship 1 advise you to treat him the
same as YOU always have. Your
own unchanged attitude will bring
him 20 see the folly of his quicke r
than anything else.

Please answer us, a. Il n
very important for us to

Q.-Why Will old married
men persist I'm making pres
ents of candy and other
small things to girls they
happen to work with? Why
don't they give their money
to their wives? Maybe their
wives would appreciate 1t
more. Such attentions are
annoying to the extreme, SO
please answer and oblige a
lot of nice girls who have to
work and who wish to be re-
spectacle. BETTY.
A.-They say-"There Ii no
fool like aa old fool" and appar-
emily IL Is quite true. It II my
personal belief that any girl can
remain respectable IL she wants
to, although IL may not always be
the easiest way. Refuse the gifts
fatty and let your attitude be
such that the giver will not care
to make another venture.

lima, we would have nothing. what
ever to fear; but unfortunately this
is not the case. Under our constit,f
tion, every man OF every color. who
pays taxes on 5000 worth OF nrcperty
or who can read and write the con-
stftution san register. Hundreds of
them cannot vote in our democratic
primary. but they can vote on the IL
quor question or in a general election.
The prohihitionists who are urging n
referendum ought to study the ex-
perience or Florida and Texas as an
object lesson. IL Is not only possi-
bic. but probable that the liquor trust
VIII establish agencies in South Caro-
lima, Just as they have done ,n other
states and with their thousands of
dollars they would see to It that me-
Bfoes and others are registered and
ready to vote when the election Is
held 1t is claimed that there are
10000 negroes of voting age In this
state. 1t would be safe to say that at
least $4,000 OF these are entitled to
registration. under our state consti-
tuition. This work would be done eff
pecially In the lower counties where
the dfspensaries are running full blast.
When we remember how hard IL is to
get out more than one-third OF the
qualified voters at special dispen-
5eE5 election aud when tine remember
the possibility OF the liquor trusts
bringing out tho vote on the other
side. 1t causes US to stop and consider.
For the above reasons the anti
saloon league has not advocated the
referendum plan, except as a last re-
sort. When the legislature meets our
bills for both the law-enforcement
measure and for statewide prohibition
will be read. Our legislative commit
tea Will be organized. We will get to-
gether and see what can be done. Our
purpose is. to save the state IL possible
the turmoil and strife and expenses
attendant upon q liquor election. II,
however, after the matter Is thor
oughly thrashed oVt in caucus
meeting, q majority OF the prohIbi-
tionists IN the house and senate think
1t wise to refer. the matter to the peu-
pie. then we will acquiescc. but not
before.

A few more weeks of progress on
the new station of the Blue Ridge
Railroad such as that which has been
made within TIE past few days and
a portion of the structure will be
ready for occupancy by the first of
the year and probably the entire build
Ing by the middle of January.
Present plans call for the occupy
Ing OF the Offices In the new depot by
January l, and the station department
ty the middle OF the month. And un-
less some unforeseen delay arises. It
Is thought that these plans can be
carried out AS generally known, the
Offices Of the superintendent and
other officials of the Blue Ridge Rail-
road are situated in one OF the build
ings on West Earle street opposite
tho Y. M. c. A. building.
The hanging OF doors and placing
OF sash in the new station is now
under way, which Is going further to-
ward adding q finished appearance to
the structure than anything which has
been done In the past few days. The
work Of dressing down the concrete
work OF the balcony over the side
walk Is also under way, this adding
a finished appearance to the mason

tect on the Blue Ridge Railroad g

days since and expressed himself as
we'll pleased with the progress of
work on the structure. He makes fire.
Quent trips to Anderson for the pur-
pose OF keeping in touch with work
on the station.
AS the finishing touches are being
added to the building the public is
beginning To realize that in the new
station Anderson is going to have one
OF the handsomest structures OF any
city in the State as. well as one OF
the most conveniently located rail-
way stations.

FOR STATEWIDE
OE4IBITION
Seeretary's Statcment-Will Not
Introduce BiIl Until Provision
i Made for les Enforcement.
Spartanburg, s. C., Dec. II


Spartanburg, s. c.. Dec. 10.
Editor Daily Mail: The question of
statewide prohibition is certainly DOM
inant in. the minds Of the people at
this time. No sensible ne. Ia taking
any stock In the vaporings. of some
that test was made last summer In
the election OF governor. The rrchi-
bltion question was not the question
IN last summers campaign. This goes
without saying end IL the vote for Mr..
Chas. A, Smith showed the sentiment
8 for prohibition In this state, II also
showed the referendum plan. It is Just
sc veil that We understand the situ-
alton and make up our minds to meet
the inevitable, prohibition is coming to
South Carolina and that very soon.
IL this Office has not been misin-
formed, o majority OF men In both the
Eou6e Hid senate stand for two very
important measures touching this
matter. The first is q bill which viii
destroy the blind tiger situation and
make the Webb law effective. The
plan OF the anti-saloon league is to
tight for this measure before any
thing else is done. We do not believe
5 1t wise TO introduce q statewide pro-
!hibitiop bill until provision has been
made for Its enforcement; but we
do believe that when this provision
Is made that the way will be opened
for statewide prohibition by legisla-
/. tive enactment.
There are many reasons why the
anti-saiCon league is nut advocating
the referendum plan at this time. In
the first place, we IL not see the ne
cessity for It. Thirty counties in the
State are dry and will remain dry be-
cause under the present code Of laws
no dry county car hold on election
legally. While attempts have been
made In a number of dry counties TO
order elections during the past eigh-
teen months. twelve of that number
failed because the number OF sigma
tare9 required By law could not be se-
cured. Other dry counties elected to
remain dry when the matter was test
ed at the polls.
The lack Of law enforcement in the
past four years has brought about n
telling OF disgust and the people are
ready and willing that something be
done and that speedily. The anti.
saloon league does not believe O refer
endum necessary, and after thorough
ly studying the situation throughout
the State we wish Just here to po;ct
out what we regard as dangers:

could be submitted to the white, quail

South Carolina School ,.pgs
Improve e11oet1f Association

With the cooperation OF Miss Mag
gle Darlington. supervising teacher Of
Anderson county, the South Carolina
School Improvement Association has
been able 81 accomplish: :i;:cs. S50is
through local associations organized
in 81 rural school communities In
that county. This is the largest num-
ber OF active associations yet reported
from one county. The work OF these
organizations Is typified in the follow
ing reports from four associations
representing the Lebanon, the West
Pelzer. the Iva and the Townville
schools.
The reporter from Lebanon says:
"At the opening of our school in 1913
Miss Darlington came up and asked
US to organise o, school improvement
association. This we did, agreeing to
meet the first Friday afternoon in
each month. The first work we did
was to employ stanitor for the schoof.
Through the efforts OF, Mrs. Duck
on School Park with its pavilion and
play ground apparatus had already
been provided. II was in this park
that all our entertainments were held.
Our efforts have been equally divided
between the making Of money and
the betterment Of tho social life OF
the community. About $50 has been
cleared and has been invested In
school equipment. A few days, before
school opened this year, the associa-
ton met at the school house armed
with broons. picps, dust cloths, disins
fectants. etc. the men. our, honorary
members, brought wagons. barrels,
buckets, rokes and hoes. This was our
cleanup day." and the school house

At the conclusion OF q musical pro-

chief atm has been to give the peo.
