You say it is hard times" You
will find many to agree with you.
1t is undoubtedly time calling for
genuine economy; not a time to
waste money. But do not be led
into false economy and stint your
self of things that are of so much
value to you as really good news
paper. Such a paper as The Obser-
yer, or others that could be men
toned, is worth to any thinking
man or woman many times it's cost.
To be without a newspaper in these

Is to be almost out of the world-a

knowledge Of the great events that
are taking place on the earth and
from interest in the marvellous mAVe-

all who Jove their fellow man.
And, so, not with an altogether

The Duty OF Citizenship.

The position of citizen in a COM

To be a citizen of a community is
to be part Of that community ana

for all citizens must do one thing

No man in a community thc 81 :e

alone, or for himself alone. There
is a certain sort of obligation he
owes to his neighbors, and much
the community AS whole.
Every citizen receives benefit
from the community which he
lives-the companionship and So
ciety of his fellows; the blessings nf
schools and churches; protection to
life and property, as well as protec-
tion to health, and other hsreIts
too numerous to mention--and. So,

STATEWIDE PROHIBITION.
Movement Gaining Strength In the
State.

SC8te.
To the Editor of The News
Never before has the outlook for
prohibition been so promising. In
every county of the state there are
men at work circulating the petitions
for the referendum. Four counties
have already called for additional
blanks, these beirg Laurens, nar.-
ington, Marlboro and Clarendon
That prohibition can prohibit. and
will prohibit when we have faithful
men in office, is proved by the ex-
ample of Russia, and the experience
of Kansas. This great corrective
measure was imposed upon the peo-
pie by the Car, and the benefits
have been so apparent that we may
expect it to continue in force per-
manently. (In The Outlook of De.
cember 16, is a fine study of prohi-
bition, which l very earnestly COM
mend to your consideration
ouT temperance lOICSS are uhltSu
in the demand for prohibition. We
favor the petition for referendum
because the legislature will be much
more ready to grant 4 referendum,
thereby submitting the question to
the people, than to enact a law out
ri6 hit, without a clearly expressed
demand by the people; furthermore.
a campaign for prohibition will be
not only educative, but will evoke
a compelling sentiment for prohibit
ton which will tend powerfully to-
ward the enforcement of the law.
This is our time, and we must not
leave any step untaken which will
contribute to happy issue.
We are opposing a business deep
ly entrenched and heavily armed.
For our success we must have the
unstinted cooperation of all who
favor prohibition.
Yours very sincerely,

LIQUOR is FOE

Study of Life and Risk Insurance
Companies Run Reveals In
tereSting Facts.

New York, Dec. 2S.-The loss of
five hundred thousand men as the
result of the present warfare could
be made good in less than ten years
through complete abstinence from
alcoholic drinks by all the inhabi-
tants OF Russia, according to Arthur
Hunter, n New York actuary. who
reported to the convention of the
Association of Life Insurance Presi-
dents here some ofthe results of an
exhaustive mortuary investigation
just completed by the life insurance
companies into 100000 insured
lives in the past % years.
Mr.. Hunter is chairman of the
central bureau of the Medico-
Actuarial committee which has
charge of the three and one half
year inquiry. The investigation
dealt with the experience of forty
three of the leading companies of
the United States and Canada in a
great many groups of insured per
sons supposed to have higher than
the average among insured lives.
While the fundamental object of the
| investigation was to enable the com
panies in determining what risks In
the future should be accepted, rated
up or declined, Mr.. Hunter said that
the results also could be utilized to
! lengthen human life.
Taking up some of the specific re-
suits of the investigation, Mr. Hun
ter said: Nothing has been more
conclusively proven than that .
steady use of alcoholic beverages
or occasional is deleterious to health
In my judgment, it has also been
proven beyond peradventure OF
doubt that total abstinence from al
cohol is OF value to humanity; it is
certain that abstainers live longer
than persons who use alcoholic bev-
erabeS. Among the men who ad-
mitted that they had taken alcohol
occasionally to excess in the past
but whose habits were considered
satisfactory when they we're insur.
ed, there were 2S9 deaths while
there would have been only 100 had
this group been made up OF insured
lives in general. The extra NOR
tality was therefore, over so per
cent, which was equivalent to a re-
duction in the average life of these
men of over four years"
One OF the most significant results
OF the investigation, he said, was the
high mortality experienced among
raliroad men, Among locomotive
engineers the mortality was 60 pei

Prof. L. H. Smith. plant breeder,

considers the distribution Of pure bred

He says: Heretofore we have not
