dead! Hence among ali uf ms foisow-
ers there Is distress and mourning.
But we have seen another picture.
We look out upon the landscape In
every section and the plow has been
early sent afield. The stubble has been
turned and narrowed smooth. The corn
has been gathered and the land pre-
pared for the seed. In among the cot
ton three green rows are seen. Many
cotton fields have all been gathered
and even cotton land plowed and sown
to oats or wheat. Everywhere the
grain is giving promise OF born:i-
ful harvest for man and beast. So next
May and June, when the Bob White
Is calling to his mate anu the warm
sunshine has given a golden CLINT TO
the grain, we hope to hear the wonted
happiness return. We expect TO hear
the negroes laugh and sing once more.

THE PROHIBITION QUESTION

The question of prohibition will not
down anywhere, and 1t is only matter
OF time when the entire world will be
without intoxicating liquors It may he
after this generation shall have passed
away, but the signs of the times point
to speedy realization of this dream
Of men. and this reign of reason. It
Is no longer q question of whether
or not temperance is proper, because
1t has been proven time and time
again that the temperate man, the
teetotaler. has u clearer brain and a
steadier nerve than he who drinks, be
It ever so little, and the business
world places q discount ON the drink
Ing man. Therefore the problem now
is how to make 1t impossible for;a a
man to be other than temperate man,
even II he SO desires. With this In
view, the advocates OF temperance
have sought to obtain laws prohibiting
the sale of liquor. In this they have
been moderately successful, and today
many states In the union are entirely
dry" The demand Is now for the
United States to become so, and II is
reasonably certain that the present
generation VIII see this true. One
after another of the states have out
iawed King Alcohol, and an effort is
being made to place South Carolina
In tne ranks OF those> where it IS un-
lawful to sell liquor.
OF course there are opponents to
this measure. and the proposition will
DO fought. There Is NO doubt as 20
what the verdict or the people will be
J IL they ever get chance to vote on
the question. So the effort will be to
keep them from being allowed the op-
portunity to vote on II. But this we
believe will be defeated. There Is too
insistent demand for even the most
partisan politician TO refuse to need,
and the bill viii be almost sure to pass
the legislature In january. giving the
State the right to vote next Septem-
Der or at some other suitable time.
Prohibition viii not prohibit. we are

from The spartanburg Journal VIII

tory manner that we shall let 1t suf-

Danger in Following Impractical
Plans.

There Is an old story of q warrior
kin who prayed, 20 Lord, save me
from my friends; I'll look after my
enemies" ta5,,.ol|
The cotton farmers of, the South
might we'll have prayed e similar
prayer In recent weeks. If we could
have kept down the foolish schemes
propesd by so-called friends of the
farmer, there would have been less
trouble In licking their enep1ies. The
wild schemes proposed by some
Southerners at Washington simply
drove away from us the support OF
conservative and sensible men who
might have stood with us. AS a rule,
1t Is net the man who proposes the
biggest and most al1uring scheme we
need to follow, but the man who pre-
sents q moderate and well considered
program. "It looks to me," said one
farmer to US recently, "as II some Of
these agitatorS really were enemies
In disguise seeking to discredit the
farmers course by their wildcat .,ro-
positions" ~.
