1T is INSPIRED.

Ever read the Congressional Rec
ord? Really at times 1t Is very inter
esting. Especially in these days
when our Southern Congressman are
not talking merely for campaign bunk
and for home consumption The
South Is doing things now, and her
representatives in congress are on
the job. Cts difficult to write any
thing these days without lapsing in
to slang, especially IL one wishes to
be explicitly
But there Is one thing in the Con-
gressional Record which every man
can well afford TO read, every day, and
that is the opening prayer by the
chaplain OF the senate. 1t is always
concise. pointed and brilliant. But the
petition which has impressed us most
in his recent apostrophe to the Law
DR.. Prettyman. the chaplain, thus ex-
pressed his lofty sentiment:
Almighty God, we thank Thee
for every influence that has ever
come into our lives that has made
1t easy to do right and hard to do
wrong. Over every path of life
Thou hast thrown Thy law. Thy
law stands as q barrier over ev-
cry evil way. Thou dost guaran-
tee the rights of men by Thine
own divine sanctions revealed to
men. made known by a thousand
ministers OF grace and love
Grant, we pray, that we may
bring every question of civil ad-
ministration to the supreme test
OF the moral law, that we may re-
member that we shall be great in
the elevation of q great nation,
that We shall be strong In saving
the best for all the people, in pro.
portion as our lives are lived In
accordance with the will of God.
Grant US tiny guidance this day to
this end. For Christ's sake.
Amen. 4a
Men Of South Carolina, memorize
that prayer. Think upon it's every
word. II is classic, It is inspired.

be anything beautiful? 1t is to eie-
vate, to ennoble. The sortiid, the un-
ambitious, the selfish see no more
need for the beautiful than they do
for the good. The two go together,
the beautiful and. the good, "kai
agalos. kai agathos."
At first we were not disposed to
think much of, the white way propo-
sition fearing that 1t was about two
years too late and that we would
just be tagging along behind. But the
assurance has been given that Ander-
son is to have the most beautiful of
all the white ways.
Let us have it. The beautiful is
none too good for Anderson. Let us
have something to give us civic con-
sciousness, point from which to let
radiate our love for ouD splendid city.

RECLAIMS PRISONERS

A few. years ago In certain county

wa. The TRUSTEES" worked on a
farm. They were allowed to run err
rands about the town.
On d few occasions this man was
allowed to drive q wagon delivering
chairs. Some Of the metropolitan pa
pers featured the story. It struck
them as a primitive method. of Jail
keeping, that man shut up for a
esrious offense should be permitted
drive wagon in the open air a use
full service.
20 doubt many people feel tRat
such an offender should sit in his cell
reflecting in a repentant manner on
his misdeeds. This mood, however,
had been reached long before. What
was called for then was different
kind of experience.
People who, follow magazine liter
ature must be impressed by the
amount OF space given within THE
past few months to studies of prison
life. One thoughtful man recently in
jail says 80 per cent of the criminals
could be reclaimed. 1t is claimed the
great majority return to crime.
Many prisons are classifying prison
ers and those giving promise of re-
formation are allowed more freedom.
They work on farms or at trades that
will some day give them gooh ::::vIng.
They are finallyvle let out on parole, and
the probationary experience tends
to fix a sense of responsibility.
AS we have said before, we disap-
prove of the Wholesale releasing of
prisoners and. shutting down of the
state farm in this state, but we must
admit that few and rare have been the
cases where the convicts who we're
treated with mercy have gone back
to lives OF crime. We have been told
that the instinct is latent, that the
monster is sleeping, ready to sprins
upon being aroused. There is no
evidence to prove his, but even
should it be true, our advice is the
proverb "Let sleeping dogs lie.." In
other words don't kick them.
Give humanity chance to reclaim
itself. OF cotrse there can be no real
reformation besed upon human effort
unaided.

A TIMELY DECISION

- w
The supreme court of this state
has handed down n decision which
outlaws Jamaica ginger. This is a
timely act. We hear n great deal of
liquor killing people, when amat-
ter of fact most of the ills Of liquor
drinking may be traced to ndultera-
tions and substitutes-although of
course, liquor itself has killed its pha-
lanxes and it's armies.
Young men have been cut down by
the use OF Jamica ginger, flavoFing
extracts and other substitutes for Ii
Quor. The writer has witnessed deaths
in manner horrible to relate, due to
drinking Hostetter's bitters and ia
maica ginger. Oh, IL the jail walls
could bur talk how this country would
ring with the recital of the miserable,
wretched hours OF the soul going
away, goin out life debauched upon
some murderous concoction, substi-
tute for whiskey.
The supreme court of the state has
laid its hand on the sore spot and de-
clared constitutional the Dillon or
dinance to prohibit the sale of "any
Jamaica ginger or alcohol, or any 9TH
er ingredient of a similar nature, by
whatever name called, or any cider
of any kind, without the certificate of
a licensed physician that the same

cal purposes.
"The uncontradicted evidence shows
that all cider contains some alcohol"
says the court, that all places where
cider was sold, the rough element of
the community congregated, became
noisy and boisterous, and, In some
cases intoxicated and blocked the
sidewalks in front of them so that pc
destrians had to get off them into the
streets to pass by; that frequent ar
rest for drunkenness and disorderl,'
conduct were made at such places,
and that they were in fact niusances; !;
that since the sale of cider had been
stopped such nuisances have been
abated and much better order has
prevailed.

of the ordinance on the ground that

ter. None of them has made 2 more
lasting impression than judge Prit-
chard
With reference to the liquor traffic,
lie was especially forceful. He de-
clarcd that laws can be enforced and
they must be enforced. The argument
that some people use that their per-
s0nal liberties are being interferred
with was touchd upon by Judge Prit-
chard in a hOmely way that knocked
all of the argument out. He told this
story:
IAN old resident of the mountains
In Madison, n. c., pursued the voca-
tion OF living on the corn patches that
his wife titled, while the old man
brought in an occasionl hog from some
neighbor's pasture. This latter pas
tiime brought the old man into court
where he was forthwith convicted of
hog stealing. a kind-hearted judge
before passing sentence. said: My
good old friend, you were brave SOL
dier, you are now 65 years old, and
believe it would be serious matter

fore, II You will agree to leave Madi-
son county and quit hog stealing,
will suspend your sentence and let
you go free.
"The old man pondered and scratch
ed his head. Finally he responded: ::
Jedge, that air propersition seems
fair enough from your side, but don't
you think you are heap interferin
with my personal liberties?
Judge Pritchard said there Is just
as much sense in the personal liberty
argument advanced by men who
would sell and drink liquor. and ex-
ercise their own personal liberty, for
getful of and disregarding the rights
and liberties of others.
AS we said in the outset, We do not
know who is pushing the effort to get
a dispensary here, and we believe
that such an effort will fail, but if
there should ever appear to be any
danger. OF it, why just send for Judge
Pritchard and let him talk to those
people in his homely, sensible and
manly way.

POETIC FEET-AND OTHERS

In presenting to the United States
senate his recent article on health and
how to regain it and keep it, Senator
Tillman was forced to scold some of
the senators for smiling. In fact he
reproved them. Looking over the ex-
cellent article, a production that
should be of great help to any man
with hardened arteries and softened
nerves, we see this statement, among
a number of others
'Iphale deeply. Then go through
the same movement with the left

Some feet, senator, some feet No
wonder the grave and reverend sena-
tors smiled We have heard of feet

fables of the gas man and the feet of

there is any record in the archives of
