"If Your Neighbor Sells It?"
Ask yourself this question:

ASK yourself THIS question:
If you shall be on the jury and
your white neighbor be proved guilty
OF violating the liquor law, are you
going to vote to send him to the
chaingang, to the everlasting dis
grace of himself. his wife and his
little girls and boys.
If you are going so to "ote as
juryman, then you are in truth a pro-
hibitionist.
Or are you in favor of sending only
negro liquor sellers to the chain
gang and allowing white men to
pay out?"
Are you, who voted last Tuesday
for prohibition, going to support In
the primary only those candidates
for governor, sheriff anc magistrate
who will enforce the prohibition
law? II so. you cast an honest
ballot.
But if you are going to vote for
officers who will take care OF their
friends and protect them when they
violate the prohibition law. then you
would hurt prohibition no more il
you went into the blind tiger busi-
ness.-The State.

Why. Verify?

We presumed that when the people
OF this school district voted compul-
sorp education upon the district.
they did SO because it was felt that a
certain percentage of the population
cared little for the education of their
of-spr,nc. and that II was the duty
of the officers of the district to max
such regulations as would guaran-
tee these children an education. If
the school trustees of the district ex-
pected to surrender their own judg-
ment for the Judgment of these pa
rents in matters affecting the inter-
est of these children, why have COM
oulscry education at all?-Abbeville

THE GOVERNOR AS ARBI-
TRAITOR.

Governor Manning, in ending the
strike Of the employees of the street
railway company of Columbia, dis
played tact, commonsense and a de-
sire to bring about good feeling. Mr..
Manning did not consider a resort
to force, but quietly, understanding
ly, effectively, settled the differences
that existed between the two pratias
to the controversy. He deserves. and
has doubtless won, the goodwill of
all concerned. In this as in other
instances, the governor has shown
sincere desire to serve and has
served the people of his state with
zeal and tactfulness. His love of
'airness and his honesty of purpose
cannot be questioned even by his
critics. Mr.. Manning is not the
governor merely of his friends nor is
he governor of any one political fac
ton. He is the governor of all of
the people of South Carolina, whose
interests he has pledged himself to
promote. And right we'll Is he full
filing that pledge.

We recommend for adoption in
Lancaster the requirement that
washerwomen obtain licenses or at
least that they hand in statements of
their names and patrons. This will
not only be safeguard to the health
of those whose clothes now go into
many unsanitary places to be
laundered. but will likewise act as
an incentive to the washerwomen to
make their homes fit places TO which
70 carry these clothes. The plan of
registration of washerwomen has
been adopted in Greenville and in
:her progressive Carolina towns,
here the good enects have been
observed. Lancaster needs such a
law. Let the good women of the
town request the council to pass
it.

many pictures which claim to bear

the sort of pictures which tend to

not belong to that class which would

have seen the thoughtful, earnest at

have given them. We consider the
photoplay, 1.-THE Hypocrites," against
which such storm of protest was
raised in Columbia last week, a
strong appeal for clean, right living
and a plea for truth and sincerity in
all the relations of life. Nor would
we condemn those simpler plays
which though often trite and incon-
sequential, are nevertheless harm
less and clean. And while we per-
sonally do not care for many Of
those in humorous vein, we would
not condemn any who find amuse-
ment in the pictures in which the ap-
peal to mirth is legitimate and free
from vulgarity. In other words, we
are not asking for "high brow" pre-
sentations nor criticising the public
taste but are rather urging a local
