JOKER IN
 PROHIBIT ITION
 RES01 UTtON

Washington, July 8-The reason that the liquor interests of the coun- try are not opposing the Hobson reso- Iution for nationwide prohibition very strongly is said to be due to the fact that they have found the joker in the proposed amendment, and would be pleased to see Congress vote to submit the amendment to the States. in it's present form. The amendment as drawn does not prohibit the manufac- ture of liquor at all as many people suppose but it prohibits it's "manu- facture for sale'' and in the next sec ton removes the FedeNaI government from it's sphere as a r,V R1lator of the traffic by saying that tfiS States shall have power to enforce the article in their respective Jurisdictions

The CRIME which the four gun
men" expiated with their lives
Monday in Sing Sing prison was the
assassination on July 16, 1912, OF
Herman Rosenthal, a gambler, at
2 o'clock a. M, on a public street
in New York City, just as Rosenthal
had come out from the Hotel
Metropole. The parties were all
gamblers and the motive for the
murder was that Rosenthal had
"squealed" on them to the police.
The boldness of the crime caused a
wave of reform to sweep over Man
haitian Island. Police Lieutenant
Becker was arrested, charged with
completely with the gamblers and
melting and actually planning the
murder of Rosenthal. The police
lieutenant was tried, convicted and
sentenced to the electric chair, but
a few weeks ago he was granted a
new trial through some legal tech
nicality. Thus it is that the
IMAM higher up" usually gets off,
while his dupes and hirelings pay
the full penalty OF the crime.

years. Doubly pleasant is this
when the native son" is a persona.
friend and known tous to be worthy,
high-toned and honorable, with the
brain and energy to pursue te
heights of success any vocation OF
career he may choose as the goal oi
his aspiration. These thoughts are
suggested by the published an
nouncement of the candidacy Of
Mr. Ralph Dickson Epps for the
State Senate in Sumter county, his
adopted home. AS implied before,
Mr. Epps is a native of Williams
burg county, being born and reared
ON his fathers farm about five miles
from Kingstree, and it is no mere
verbal figure to say that all that
may be the fruition of the promise
of long and successful career, he
owes primarily to Williamsburg
county, for it was from this county
that he won a scholarship to the
Citadel Academy, which, in a large
measure, gave him the mental
equipment needed to attain success
in the career in which he has
made so promising a beginning.
We say beginning, for Mr. Epps is
comparatively a young man, and
while he has already accomplished
enough to make him man Of
mark, yet it is natural to suppose
that the best years of his life's-work
are before him. In wishing our
friend the success in the political
field that he achieved in his bril-
liant college career, we feel assured
that we voice the sentiment of his
host of friends who are readers of
this paper.

Wilson today ordered virtually the

Stars and Stripes from the Huerta
Government as an apology for the
arrest of American marines at Tam

has been issued; that is, no specific
time has been sent within which the
Huerta Government must comply,
but the naval demonstration has
been ordered as concrete evidence
of the fixed determination of the

The County Fair.

1t is gratifying to note that the
county fair proposition which has
been agitated from time to time for
several years by patriotic citizens of
our town and county, has assumed
definite form and that prospects
are bright for the realization OF a
long deferred hope.
To attempt 70 enumerate or en-
large upon the advantages to be de-
rived from county fair would be
superhuous, as they must be self
evident to every thinking individual.
The important point to be stress
ed and urged and impressed upon
the people is the fact that once we
put our shoulders to the wheel,
there must be no going back, but
everyone must push forward and all
pull together to make the enterprise
attain to that degree of success
which is easily within the grasp of
our opportunities by reason of the
variety of products that may be
grown to perfection in our fertile
soil and ideal climate, and the
natural advantages that are ours in
the almost unlimited abundance of
raw materials with which our coun-
ty is blessed. Nowhere on earth
has nature bestowed with more
lavish hand her bountiful gifts than
in our sunny Southland, and right
In the heart Of this favored section
is our own beloved Williamsburg.
At the meeting in the court
house some one said that no county
In South Carolina was richer in
resources and raw materials than
Williamsburg. This is fact that
cannot be gainsaid. The only thing
we need to enable US to develop
these resources is to let the outside
world know what we have to offer
home-seekers and investors, and VIC
know of no better way of dissent
mating this information than
through the medium of a well-con-
Quoted county fair. We say we'll
conducted advisedly, for one
horse exhibition would be worse
than none at all, tending to defeat
the very end desired to be accom-

Why the fair should not be an event
to reflect credit upon our county
throughout the State; but it requires
work to bring about this result
perseverance and tireless energy in
the face of obstacles that must be
overcome is the price of success.
We pledge the support of The
Record toward the enterprise and
cheerfully place our services at the
disposal Of the committees.
