Strong Prohibition Argument.

We have sneaking suspicion tha,
while the esteemed editor of The State
was off duty celebrating Labor Day
somebody slipped in one of the best
prohibition editorials IN yesterday s
State that we have seen in long time.
Not satisfied with merely presenting
incontrovertible statements in the
usual way, the intruder had entire par
agraphs capitalized, giving them great
er emphasis:
Here are some of the paragraphs
taken from The States editorial of
yesterday:
eft is safe to say that four out of
every FIVE dollars, if not more, OF dis
pensary profits are paid by POOR
"Of all devices to make the working
man pay more than mis- just share OF
the taxes, the liquor tax is the shrewd-
est and most effective.
cit is beyond doubt that enforced
prohibition of the liquor traffic would
do more to REDUCE THE TAXES
OF THE WORKING PEOPLE THAN
ANYTHING THAT COULD BE DE-
VISED, FOR THE OBVIOUS REA-
SON THAT THEY ARE NOW TAXED
MORE HEAVILY THROUGH THE
DISPENSARIES THAN IN ANY
OTHER WAY"
"The mill operative, the street car
conductor, the painter and the carpen-
ter have an unquestioned right TO vote
against prohibition. But let them not
fool themselves. Any one of them who
is patroa of the dispensary is paying
heavier tax for the support of the
city of Columbia than is many a man
earning his 81, 900 or So, 900 year.

"Good Wishcr" Gives Some
Good Advice.

Editor The Advertiser: You hear
people bowling down whiskey part.
ly on account of the money that is
spent for it, but you never hear how
much money is wasted and thrown
away on women in various ways.
Take the fast age we are living in
now, the poor young man who has
to live by his labor knows good and
we'll that he cannot afford to marry
a girl in this day and time and
keep her up in the styles of the day.
He knows if he does not dance up
with what she wants and let's her
go gadding around, and he at home
playing negro for her, there will be
a row in his home. Therefore the
young men Of our country take to
drinking and throw themselves
away, instead of marrying some
nice girl, then settle down and both
go to work to try to have some
thing and be something in the
world like they were created to do.
l am opposed to whiskey and if l
live | shall vote for prohibition on
the l4th of this month but | am op-
posed to a lot of other chat is being
done in this day and time. / don't
believe the Lord created us to stint
our children III many ways in order
to pile it all on our backs to make
a big show in the world. | am
afraid pride is going to cut a lot of
US out of eyer going to heaven. Peo-
pie seem to think more about dress
and looks than they do their Lord,
the giver of all they have. !! want to
urge the fathers and mothers of
our country to try and teach their
children first of all that there is a
God for them to serve. Then teach
them to be nice, truthful and teach
then to work and save. So we will
not hear 80 much grumbling about
hard times. Wastefulness is the
cause of hard times. The Lord has
been good to US all, and instead of
taking care Of his gifts to US, we
have been throwing them away in
many ways and then complain about
hard times. Teach orr. girls and
boys that the streets and roads are
not the place for them all the time.
There must be some home staying
or the home will soon. 20 to pieces.

Municipal Recall Election.

1t appears that Beaufort is in the
midst of a municipal mess. For several
years some of the largest taxpayers,
it appears, have been successful tax
dodgers, possibly through the indul-
gence of form er city officials. Recent
ly under change of administration or
the election of new city treasurer,
these tax-dodgers have had demands
made upon them for back taxes. Some
of them owe as much as $4,000 back
taxes. This refusal to pay, involving,
five mistake not, some of the aldermen,
has resulted in Governor Manning order
ing a recall election. While this is some
thing entirely new in South Carolina,
yet we believe it is good precedent to
establish. If an official, who is chosen
by the people for public position,
fails to give satisfaction or, even worse
still, acts dishonesty, then the people
through recall election can deprive
him of his commission.
Beaufort is in municipal muddle
which nothing but recall election can
straighten out. 1t would be better for
an unsatisfactory official to step down
and out rather than be voted out of
Office. But they seem not to view the
matter that way in Beaufort.

Company Stores Passing.

For many years it has been customa-
ry for some large cotton mills to ope-
rate stores near the mill, in which the
operatives do most of their trading.
These stores We're established with the
best of motives, and were operated as
much for the convenience of the en-
ployees as for the interests of the mill
itself. But there seems to be grow
ing sentiment against the corporation
or company store. And while not q
word of censure can justly be uttered
against the mills for conducting these
stores, Yet we are inclined to the
opinion that it will be best to discon-
tinue them altogether. In fact, what
ever tends to keep the mill people iso-
lated or separated from the other peo-
pie and other interests of the communi-
ty should be changed wherever possl-
BILE. Itis better for the mill people to
get out of their villages and make their
purchases at the stores where the other
people of the town and vicinity make
their purchases. Let them be made to
feel that they are part, an important
part, of the life of the entire commu-
nifty.
Wherever practicable the mill chill
dren should be sent to the public school
of the community, rather to one es-
tablished solely for their benefit. In
many cotton mill towns there is a
prejudice on the part of the residents
of the mill village against the other
people Of the community. This is un-
fortunate and is largely due to their
isolation and lack of normal business
and social intercourse.

A Day of Prayer For Prohibi-
* ton. As

Spartanburg, S. g., August 30.-
At meeting yesterday afternoon
of women interested in the success
of the referendum ell, ction on pro-
hibition to be held in South Caro-
lima September IA, a central COM
mittec vas appointed to make ar
rangements for mass meeting for
prayer on the afternoon Of Septem-
ber IL. Neighborhood prayer.
meetings will be held in all Sec
tions of the city at the same hour
several days of next week, as a
preparation for the final mesting.
At the meeting yesterday after
noon it was unanimously voted to
ask the pastors of all the churches
of the state to urge their congrega-
tions to join with the women of
Spartanburg in making Sunday,
September IL, State wide Day of
Prayer for Prohibition. Special
emphasis is laid on the Importance
of much services because it is real
lied that the greatest enemy to the
success of prohibition at the COM
ing election is confidence and
the consequent Indifference on the
part of the voters. This may mean
the loss of thousands of votes for
prohibition. Let the women urge
their husbands and brothers to get
their registration Gel tifcates and
tax receipts and be qualified to
vote. The friends of prohibition
should not allow themselves to be
beaten by inaction.

An Appeal For Better Roads.

Editor Edgefeld Advertiser At
the meeting at Clark's Hill August
81, bad roads were several times al.
luded to as being prohibitive of wo-
mems gatherings. Even as it was,
at presumably cur best season of
the year with roads in their best
condition, it was not unalloyed bliss
to travel them. One or more auto
mobiles found difficulty in getting
through boggy places. The road
from Parksville to Clark's Hill is
a trial, there are mud holes big, lit
tie, deep, shallow, mud holes like
miniature ponds, mud holes th 1t re-
semble morasses. These holes are
bad now, later on they will be in
finitely worse.
Let me quote country mans
words. There's mud there shore"
was his comment and it sticks
closer than a brother, and it's SO
deep your horse can hardly get
along, even without load. 1 reck-
on the road always has a bottom,
but in winter it seems like there
was spots where the bottom was too
fur down to find" -
Now there is no use to grumble
and complain if no one dis going. to-
do anything to remedy the matter.
Men say the county supervisor
should attend to the roads bat the
county is a large one. Since the lum-
Der interest became 80 active here.
There is very heavy hauling oa the
road daily. think | can reasonably
say the road for ten to fifteen miles
above Clark's Hill is most fearfully
in need of attention.
1t would pay to have road day
now. A day on which every man
would give some labor to the road.
Men, horses, teams, shovels, spades
could be used to advantage. Win
ter is almost on US.

Tidings From Mt. Zion Com.
munitY.

Through the absence of your
scribe from home, some of the
events in our community are about
to become too far passed for publ.
cation. However, as we are in such
quiet corner, they will no doubt
be new to the public any way.
One of these was the recent lawn
party given by our w. M. S. at the
home of Mr.. w. j. Gaines. This
occurred on Tuesday evening. Aug.
"a. Conversation and games were
enjoyed by the young people out i'll
the moonlight. Then, marching
in time to music, a cake walk was
the next feature of interest, this
also being out under the great trees
on the lawn. After this, ice cream
and cake were served, and then
games were played in the parlor.
This occasion not only placed \ neat
little sum i'll the treasury of the
missionary society. but furnished
an evening of delightful social
pleasure TO the young people of the
community.
An event of interest to sportsmen
was the dove shoot, which occurred
at the home of Mr. E NJ Padgett,
on Friday, August Z. Gentlemen
from tLis ighborhood, Trenton,
Edgefeld. and even Batesburg, were
on hand for the occasion. At day.
break the shooting began, and con-
tinued through the hours of the
morning and late afternoon. About
800 birds were killed. This was
great sport for the men, but oh! the
poor doves!
MIR J NJ Padgett has purchased
$50 acres of the best land of the
Jennings place, and we expect
soon to see a new and progressive
home established in our midst. We
wish others would buy land and
build nice homes In our community.
Indeed, we are hearing cheerful ru-
mors to this effect.
Messrs. Ben and Pendleton
Gaines spent few days of last
week in surveying land for Tomp-
kius and Wells, in the Good Hope
section.
Mrs. Couch and Miss Fannie
Pardue, from Graniteville have been
recent visitors in the home Of Mr.,
w A Pardue.

vania, Ga., has been visiting Mr.
and Mrs w L Gaines.
Mrs w j Gaines and Miss Lila
Mae Padgett represented the Mt.
Zion w NJ S at the recent meeting
w w U. at Clark's Hill. They
report a very interesting meeting,
and royal entertainment given by
the people of Clark's Hill. Alto
gelher, their trip was delightful
and night spent in Augusta with
friends was an additional pleasure.
Miss Marie Padgett has been Wis
iting friends in Augusta.
MIR and Mrs " L Gaines has
been visiting friends in Augusta.
MIR aud Mrs w J Gaines recently
enjoyed pleasant day in the home
of Mr. and Mrs Walter Carpenter.
