PROHIBITION.

This is being written before the
hearing by the senate committee on
the Statewide prohibition bill, that
is the bill providing for an election
on the question, and we have no idea
what will be done. but our good
friends, the prohibitionists, are fixing
for the elevation of another fellow
like the former governor. The peo-
pie of South Carolina are not ready
for prohibition, and will not be until
members of the different branches
Of the church quit drinking whiskey
and voting for prohibition. The
question should be made an econo-
mic one, leaving the moral issue
aside, and men like the present rep
preventative of the anti-saloon league
in this State should be put aside. We
have no quarrel with the Rev. Mr..
Harley and nothing but the kindest
feelings for him, but he has done the
cause of prohibition much harm, and
will continue to do so as long as he
holds his present position. There
can be no question but that the fore
ing of the prohibition question on
the people four years ago resulted in
the election of Blease and conse-
quent orgy of lawlessness and scan
dal. We honestly believe such a con-
dition will be repeated if the question
is again brought to the front. We
are opposed to the graft in the dis
pensary system, which everybody who
has any sense knows is there, always
has been there and always will be
there, even if it can't be proven, but
prohibition would be hundred times
worse in our opinion. Conditions in
Bamberg we're scandalous under pro-
hibition and good men stood by and
saw these things go on without any
attempt to stop them. For our part
We want to see no more prohibition
in Bamberg if it is to be of the type
we have always had and We are
candid enough to say so, no matter
who it pleases or displeases.
There are many of our good friends
who are the strongest sort Of prohi-
bitionists. both in practice and prin-
ciple, and we regret very much to
differ from them. but it cannot be
helped. They are( honest in their
convictions and'all we ask is that the
same privilege be accorded us. We
had rather live ten, years under dis
Densary regime than three months
of Bleaseism, but the masses OF the
peorle in South Carolina are not
ready for prohibition and we are sure
this is the condition which will con-
front us if a Statewide prohibition
law is put into effect. Prohibition
is a beautiful theory and a better
personal principle, but our people
must be educated before it can be
enforced We ought to have the
Webb law enacted into State sta
tute and try that awhile before we
take such drastic steps. Manning is
going to make a good governor and
do much to restore better conditions
in South Carolina, and he should not
be handicapped at the beginning of
his administration with the futile
problem of enforcing a prohibition
law: Let well enough alone for the
present!

1t strikes us that the present wa
terworks OF Bamberg could be eX-
tended without a great deal of eX-
pense to the town. This would at
least insure the people with plenti-
full supply of water, which is lacking
at present. Along with this extern
sion, a system of sewerage could be
installed at a minimum at the same
time. With an adequate system of
waterworks and sewerage. the town
would be fifty per cent. more invit-
ing to strangers to make this place
their home. The health of the town
needs sewerage, and no argument at
all is needed for a more satisfactory
system of waterworks than the town
now has. The present status speaks
for itself.

PLANTING GRAIN.
Oats and Wheat Show Very Large
Increase.

Washington, Jan. 22.-The acre
age planted to oats last fall in cotton
States exceed that of the preceding
year by nearly 100000 acres, and
the increase in Southern wheat acre
age was almost as great, the depart
ment of agriculture announced to-
night. The departments figures fol-
low:
Planted in oats. fall Of 1913, g
5000; 1914, 4,355.000.
Planted in wheat, fall of 1913, 81
$4,000; 1914, 7,271,0O0.
The wheat and oat increase, the
department said, appears to have
been more than 10 per cent. of the
acreage planted to cotton last year.
Reports to the department indicate
an intention on the part of Southern
planters to considerably increase the
acreage of the 1915 spring planting
or corn and spring oats.
The following table prepared by
the department gives the acreage in
crease in Southern States:

HOUSE FOR REPEAL.
Votes 4 to 1 to Undo Work of Special
Session in October.

Columbia, January 25.-The house
of representatives voted tonight -four
to one for repeating the cotton acre
age reduction act passed at the spe'
cial session of the general assembly
last October. The advocates Of re.
pealing the measure declared that a
large majority of tn farmers wished
his done. The warmest debate of the
present session followed. By a vote
of 81 to 90 the house refused to
strike out the enacting words OF the
repealing bill and then sent it tc
third reading.
The cotton acreage reduction law
which the house voted to repeal pro-
vided that not more than one-third
of each farmers lands actually under
cultivation may be planted in cotton
1t was passed at the extraordinary
session of the legislature last Octo-
Der.
The house, after it passed to third
reading the bill to repeal the cotton
acreage reduction statute, adjourned
until 10 tomorrow.
To Regulate Liquor. -
The house tonight, in whirl-
wind, without word of debate, pro-
test or argument, passed the Warren,
Boyd bill, which is regarded as a
companion bill TO the State wide pro-
hibition referendum. The bill un.
dertakes to regulate shipments OF
all liquors in the State. The bill pro-
poses to apply in the strictest man
ner the terms of the Webb law as tc
shipments of liquor either into or out
of the State. Anyone ordering OF
receiving not exceeding one gallon
of liquor must get a permit from the
clerk of court, giving names and
time and quantity of liquor. Not
more than one permit can be issued
in any one calendar month, accord
ing to the bill. A copy of all permits
for bringing liquor into the State
shall be open for inspection. Ne
amendment whatever was offered or
the floor of the house.
Day Session of House.
The house spent an hour toda!
clearing up it's Calendar of third
reading bills and then at the dinne'
period receded from business unit
evening.
The most important action wa:
that the house by a vote of Al to 3.
recommitted to the ways and mean:
committee Mr.. Liles's bill, which un
dertook to change the penalty Law
for the non-payment of taxes so tha
after this year there would be
fiat 5 per cent penalty instead of
cumulative fine. Mr.. Moore, of Alb
beville, and Mr.. Toole, of Aiken
made the chief fight on the proposed
change of the penalty and Mr.. Lille
defended the bill with the reason
that prompted its introduction ant
the favor of the committee. Th'
house, however, recommitted the bill
which, under ordinary circumstances
| is unfavorable.

Every taxpayer in the county
should ask himself the question:
How long would a private business
keep out Of bankruptcy if its affairs
were managed as the affairs of not
only Bamberg but practically every
county in the State are managed? Is
it not time that the people who fur
nish the money to run the county gov
ernment should have a voice in its
management?-

When prohibition can and will be
enforced as we'll as any other law
on the statute books, then we will
be ready for it. Every law is bound
to be violated to greater or less ex-
tent, but prohibition has always been
worse than a farce in Bamberg.

INSTALLING COUNTY LIBRARY

Elko Independent: The first in
stallment of the new county library
has arrived and is being installed in
the commissioners room, under the
direction of Judge Curler.
About 5000 volumes have been
ordered, and about one-third of this
number have arrived. Sectional
book cases have been placed in the
east end of the room and in a few
days the books will all be arranged.
There are 120 sections to the book
cases.
This library will be for the use of
the general public as we'll as for the
court and the members of the legal
fraternity. No one will be permit
ted, however, to take any of the
books out of the building.
In few years it is proposed to
make the Elko County law library
one of the best in the State.

fighting in Tyrol continues to be g
clash of minor forces, no big engage
ment having yet been fought. AS
this territory must be won before
the Italians can push forward safelg
in their move toward Trieste, big
battle should be near at hand. A
certain lethargy seems to mark the
Italian advance and this is a trifie
mysterious.
In France and Flanders the fight
ing is of a severe character, but
neither side is making a determined
effort to advance on a wide front.
The Germans and English have been
battling for the Chateau Hooge, east
of Ypres, for some days, and it is
doubtful which side has been victor
ious. The British position at Ypres.
which was considered precarious a
month ago has been greatly strength
ened, in spite of the fact that the
Germans are several miles nearer
the city than they were in April.
The German submarine war has
shown considerable results in the last
week. Fifteen or more vessels, in
cluding trawlers, have been sunk.
Several of the ships have exceeded
1000 tons in displacement. Most OF
the submarine attacks were not at
tended by loss of life.
The British have met with another
success in Mesopotamia, where the
column moving north from the Per-
sian gulf has again defeated the
Turks in a land and river engage
ment. Three hundred Turkish pris-
oners, several guns and some am
munition were captured and two
steamers were sunk.
At the Dardanelles there has been
furious fighting without decisive re-
suits. 1t is reported from Greece
that the Allies have begun general
assault. but this report should be
taken with reserve, as general as
sault is most costly to the attackers
and is only attempted when the foe
has been reduced to desperate straits.
ABritish submarine has penetrated
to the Sea of Marmora and reports,
evidently by wireless, that 1T has
sunk a big German transport.
Another air raid has been made on
the east coast of Great Britain and
on London with some loss of life.
