The Citadel Scholarship.

In just 30 days, on August l9, the
beneficiary scholarship to the Citadel
from Edgefeld county will be awarded
by competitive examination, and the
editorsof The Advertiser desires to see
at least so young men compete for it.
The Citadel scholarship is the only one
awarded by the State that will give a
young man thorough college educa-
tion practically without a penny OF ex-
pense to him. The scholarship is
worth $1,000 in cash.
Awake, young men! Arise from your
lethargy and resolve to make something
of yourselves besides hewers OF
wood and drawers of water. By close
application and thorough review OF
what you have studied in the past, you
may be able to make the highest aver
age on the examination, and winning
the scholarship will enable you to fill
larger place in the world.
If such scholarship were offered to
the girls of the county, there would be
more than 100 on hand the day of the
examination. Surely there should be
not less than so boys. Communicate
with the proper authorities (as shown
in the announcement published in The
Advertiser) andhav your papers prop
erly filed.

The Prohibition Election.

In order to enable the people of
South Carolina to vote on the whiskey
question at a time when it can be
divested of politics, the legislature Or
dered an election to be held on Septem-
ber IA. Sixty days from to-day the
people will determine by their ballots
whether South Carolina shall continue
to have whiskey solid in Is counties, to
the decentralization of the adjacent
counties, or whether the State will join
1s other States that have repudiated
whiskey altogether.
It is generally conceded chat very
large majority will be cast for State
wide prohibition. We have it upon
good authority that several of the dis
pensary counties will vote for prohibi-
ton, q majority of the people Of these
counties being heartily sick Of the
county dispensary, with all of its graft
and political corruption. Barnwell and
Aiken counties particularly have gained
notoriety through the mismanagement
of their dispensaries. The Governor
removed the dispensary board in Barn.
we'll because of irregularities, and the
new board is now holding up payment
of $50 worth of whiskey because of
the violation of law concerning its pur-
chase.
Some of the most prominent men in
Aiken county who were heretofore
ardent advocates of the dispensaryshave
changed their views and are now
avowed advocates of prohibition. On
account of unsatisfactory conditions,
some time ago the Governor ordered
the dispensaries in Aiken county closed
and they remained closed for month.
1t was reported thata former dispenser
was checked short nearly 81, 1000.
Whenever the people Of, Edgefeld
county have been given an opportunity
to express themselves on this great
moral question they have always de
clared against the sale Of whiskey by
considerable majority. For nearly 10
years Edgefeld county has had practi-
cal prohibition and after giving it a
thorough trial the people could not be
induced to return to the dispensary
system or any other mode iof selling
whiskey.
Let's vote it out of South Carolina
altogether in September, thereby help
ing hundreds of people in the "wet''
counties to overthrow whiskey domi-
nation and decentralization. Voting
whiskey out of the Is "wet" counties
will also make the enforcement of pro-
hibition more easily effective in the
counties adjacent to the "wet" coun-
ties.

Concerning Dishonest Advertising.

An enlightened public is demanding
more and more that no untrue state
ments be made in advertisements. Not
many years ago, the more extravagant
and the more highly colored the state
ments in an advertisement, the more
effective it was in attracting the atten-
ton of the reading public and in bring
ing results to the advertiser. AS pur-
chasers now expect and require the
seller to make good every statement in
an advertisement, many advertisers are
adopting more conservative course.
There is also another force in opera
ton in some States that is eliminating
dishonest advertising, and that is the
enactment of laws prohibiting decep-
tion and fraud. In these states mer-
chant who represents pair of trousers
that are offered at a phenominally low
price to be all wool, when in fact they
are so per cent. cotton, lays himself
liable to indictment.
The law should also prohibit misrep'
resentation as to the price or value
placed upon merchandise. The average
consumer knows practically nothing o1
the quality of merchandise. His only
way of estimating the real worth is by
the price which the merchants puts
upon his goods. Viewed from this
standpoint, merchant in advertising
bargain or cut-price sale, should moi
be allowed to misrepresent the value
of a piece of merchandise-for exam

Smoking Causes Cancer.

There is a growing belief that inces,
SAINT smoking causes cancer OF the
mouth. In recent article in the New
York Medical Journal, a prominent
surgeon writes of 100 cases of mouth
cancer that have come under his OBJ
servation. Only 10 of the victims
were women and one Of these used
snuff and the other smoked package
of cigarettes day.
All of the 80 male victims of cancer
of the mouth were smokers, either OF
cigars, cigarettes or pipe. This emf
nent surgeon is of the opinion that the
hot tobacco smoke produces chronic ir-
ritation that ultimately becomes can
cerous in it's nature. Even where smoke
is not the initial cause of the irritation,
it aggravates irritation that is produced
by some other cause. According to
this very excellent authority, it is dan
gerous to have the tongue irritated by
q rough tooth or by taking hot 1ooo
into the mouth, this danger being IN
creased in case of tobacco users.
That records of large hospitals con-
firm the opinion that cancer OF the
mouth is very frequently caused by the
intemperate use of tobacco, should
cause persons who are inveterate
smokers to reflect seriously before they
pass the danger line.
Our advice to boys and young men
who have not yet become addicted to
the use of tobacco, is to let it alone, Sc
verely alone. Do not allow yourself to
become even a moderate user. The
individual who must smoke dozen or
more cigars day, in order to satisfy
his appetite or craving, was once a
moderate user. Only very few per-
sons can confne themselves to the
moderate use of any narcotic.
Total abstinence is the only safe
ground.
