COUNTY FOR PROHIBITION

York county stands for prohibition
and Is unwilling to vote n other
way.
OF course there are people here who
desire the legal sale Of liquor and II
will probably always be so; but they
are not in the majority.
York county prohibitionists are not
political prohibitionists. They are
prohibitionists from principle-prohi-
bitionists because they are unwilling
to share the responsibility Of the liquor
traffic or the consequences thereof
They have arrived at their conclusions
not as the result Of the exhortation OF
spell binding demagogues; but as the
result Of honest communion with their
Judgment, hearts and consciences.
The vote last Tuesday was light. II
would have becn heavier except for the
fact that tho result was generally q
foregone conclusion, and only those
who felt they had a duty to perform
went to the polls.
AS the result Of letters sent to
friends at the various precincts, the
Enquirer was enabled to collect the
complete result Of the election In
York county last Tuesday before Z
o'clock. as follows:

So-called local option on the whisky

So-called local option on the whisky
question is wiped out. AS a matter of
fact it has never been anything but a
deception, a snare and 4 fraud. Lib
erty," as everybody knows, is a word
to conjure with, and many frauds
have been committed by the use of
that word. Local option was in no
sense an issue of the recent election.
The term was merely used as a catch
phrase to appeal to the most unso-
phisticated of the most fair minded.
The real thing that is worth while is
local self-government. We have that
in every county in South Carolina, and
it applies to liquor the same as to
other things. The liquor laws can be
enforced in the counties only as they
are upheld by the public sentiment of
those counties, and we sincerely hope
that each and every county will do its
full duty. OF course nobody expects
the enforcement of the law in Charles
ton; but then we hope that nobody
will howl about Charleston until it
can be said with truth that Charles
ton is the only county in which the
law is being violated.

1t is beginning to leak out that the
alleged disloyalty of British laborers
is not so one-sided as at first appear
ed. The workmen claim that they are
always willing to do their part; but
it is capital that is showing the real
greed. The proprietors, according to
the workmen, are forever scheming to
get larger profits at the expense of the
l~aborers, and the lahorers insist that
they will not stand for this. They
say that whenever and wherever CAPT.
tai shows an inclination toward pa
triotism, they will go more than half
way; hut war or no war they do not
propose to allow the ~capitalistic class
es to get rich at their expense.

Whether he is a good man or a bad

Whether he is a good man or a bad
man, Senator Ben Tillman did much
to arouse the people of South Carolina
to the knowledge Of their civil rights
and for that he deserves credit. We
shall always feel kindly toward him
for that. But in establishing his dis
pensary system Tillman made a fear
full mistake. There was much to be
said in favor Of the system theoreti-
cally, and we believe Tillman was hon.
est in his intentions; but nevertheless
the system was a terrible mistake, and
we are thankful hat he has lived to
see the people correct hat mistake.

do not need the advice of Mr.. Wilson
in a matter like this.

OF the fifteen counties that have the

MRS. CHAMBERS
GETS VERDICT

One Of the hardest fought legal bat
ties for some time in this county was
a civil action in District court entitled,
Geneva Chambers VS.. the City of Dew
ills Lake and the Minnear lis, St. Paul
and Sault Ste. Marie Railway Co.
This was an action for damages in the
sum of $4,000 for the death of the
husband If the plaintiff. 1t will be
remembered that some two years ago
there was bad auto accident in the
outskirts of this city, the car of C, H.
Doyon going down a twenty foot cut
made by the 500 road when it was
built thru here. In the car were C. H
Doyon, John Mclean, Charles Rebil-
lard and George Chamb--... editor of
tie Churchs Ferry Sun. Chambers
was killed outright and Rebillard 50
badly injured that he has lever fully
recovered.
The widow sued the city and rail
road company and the case came ur
in District court this term, with Judge
Cooley of Grand Forks on the bench
Cowan & Adamson and H. S. Blooc
represented the plaintiff and Flynn &
Traynor was for the defendants
When it came time to give the case
over to the jury after several days
trial, the defendant attorneys made q
motion for a directed verdict, and the
court granted the motion SO far as the
city was concerned, as it was not
shown that this was a public street o,
road, but the case went to the jury sc
far as the railroad was con erned anc
after being out only a few hours the
jury returned verdict giving the
plaintiff damages in the sum OF $4,000

LIGHT SENTENCE
TWO MONTHS FOR AIDING ALIEN
ENEMIES TO ESCAPE FROM
CANADA.

Portal, N. D., Dec. 10.-Jacob Lemm
of Estevan, Sask., who was arrested
three weeks ago by mounted police on
a charge of smuggling interned Ger
mans and Austrians into the United
States, near Noonan, was today SEN
fenced to two months Imprisonment
in Dominion penitentiary.
Lemm was operating an under
ground railway between Canadian and
American border towns, using an auto
for the purpose Of transporting sup
! sed alien enemies in Canada to
points of safety in this country.
During the trial which was held at
Estevan it developed that come Of the
supposed escaped enemies, though Of
Austrian birth, claimed Russian citi-
4ship, and others came from points
in Europe sympathizing with the al
lies. This evidence, it is said, was the
reason for the light sentence imposed
by the presiding judge. It is rumored
that several wealthy German Cana
dian citizens have promised Lemm un-
limited financial aid should he care to
appeal his case, but it is doubtful
whether further action will be taken
in view of the clemency extended by
the court.

THE SUCCESSFUL MAN.

The successful men are they who
have worked while their neighbors
minds were vacant or occupied with
passing trivialities, who have been
wrestling with indicision. They are
the men who have trie ed to read all that
has been written about their craft;
who have learned from the masters
and fellow craftsmen of experience,
and profited thereby; who have gone
about with their eyes open, noting the
good points of other mems work and
considered how they might do better.
Thus they have carried themselves
above mediocrity, and in striving to do
things the best they could, have edu-
cated themselves in the truest man.
