PROHIBITION VICTORY

Old Satan came with a mighty blast, And filled the city full; But ger the din of battle past, He lost his wicked pull. His cohorts fought like life and death, For every inch of ground; Breathing form at every breath A most blasphemous sound. But the hosts of Gideon's God were
 there, And met this foe to face; No shield or arrow did they bear, Other than His grace. With hope and zeal the foe they met, All hearts against retreat; And ger the hour of noon was set, The foe fell in defeat.

DAILY EDITION.
THE NEED OF SHIPS.

The Monticello Monticellonian, al ways an ardent supporter of Senator Clarke, comes to his defense this week and justifies his treachery to the Dem ocratic majority in the senate on the ship purchase bill, by declaring that Senator Clarke's actions are in be- half of his people instead of against them" The Monticellonian asserts that the ship purchase bill will mean increased exports of grain and still higher prices in the United States for foodstuffs; that it would enrich the north and west and impoverish the south, and that fortunately for the south there has been no lack of trans portation facilities for all the cotton it could get foreign countries to buy, so it has not been hurt for want of carrying bottoms
 We regret that we have been un- able to perceive this fortunate posi- ton in which the Monticellonian de- clares the south has been placed. None of the belligerent countries has as yet declared cotton contraband, so that if there had been means of transport ing cotton across the waters the price would have been almost, if not quite, normal, instead of ranging throughout the season from five to eight cents, while Germany was begging for cot ton and offering to pay 15 to 20 cents for it. If there has been no lack of transportation facilities, why this great difference in the price, when normally cotton in Germany is not worth more than $5 bale more than in Arkansas? R. M. Gates, Washing ton correspondent of the Commercial Appeal shows very clearly what the ship purchase bill means to the south in recent communication to his pa- per. From it we take the following extracts:
 Looming large and of tremendous import are some of the facts which confront the Republicans and their seven cooperating Democratic sen- ators who are striving desperately to strangle the administration ship pur- chase bill. Take for instance these statements which have not been con- troverted and which speak in tones that do not need accentuation by elo- quent tongue to make them more i'm pressive.
 'It is now costing approximately S2s bale to place cotton in a Flu ropean port, $15 bale ocean steam ship rate plus $10 bale insurance risk.
 "Prior to the outbreak of the war 1t cost about $l.25 bale to transport cotton. The producer pays the freight.
 "Rates on grain shipments from Baltimore to European ports have been raised 900 per cent since the war begun.
 "Coal and lumber exporters, nota- ply West Virginia coal producers, have claimed that they cannot get a rate to Europe because the steamship operators do not care to handle freight of that bulk at this time. Other freight yields more revenue.
 "The increase in ocean rates has ranged in the last six months from 100 to 1,l50 per cent.
 "There are said to be at this time 120O0 or 14,0O0 carloads of grain and general merchandise on railway tracks in New York unable to be

At The Theatres
THE GRAND.

Kidding the Boss," Citagaph com- edy, tops the schedule tonight at the Grand. The boss believes in domes- tic conomy; every man his own wife The boys take it upon themselves to advertise for a helpmeet for him, hoping some spinster will reply, and consequently be good joke on him. Instead of homely woman applying, a pretty young girl puts in an ap- pearance. The boys are astonished and all become candidates for her hand; the jokes on them. The fore man of the ranch sees her first and she rather likes him. The boss isn't in the running, so he gladly resigns in favor of the foreman, who marries her with the boss blessing.

Sheriff OF Cherokee.

Gaffney, March 3.-Mr. J. F. Jami-
son. who lives near Gaffney, has a
collie dog which is a most remarka-
Bile animal His master sends him
to the pasture with instructions to
bring up only the COWS which are
giving milk, and Nip will confine
himself to those instructions; and
then Mr.. Jamison will tell him to
bring all the COWS, and he will come
driving them all to the barn. In ad-
dition to this, when milking is in
progress Nip will seize the calf
around the neck with his paws and
hold it off while the COW is being
milked. Now the above information
was obtained not directly from Mr..
Jamison, but from Sheriff Thomas,
who is a truthful man. and anyone
who doubts the statement will be
liable to arrest as soon as he may
put foot into Cherokee county.

Would Not Be Pleased.

One of our western senators who
possesses a rather irascible temper,
has a habit on days when everything
seems to go wrong of Iscolding the
clerks employed by the committee.
Not long ago, during session OF
the senate, the western solon had ex-
pressed desire that one of his clerks
prepare a tabulated statement of GER
tain trade statistics of the United
States. The statement was accord
ingly prepared and laid before the
testy senator, who glanced at it with
an air that BODIED trouble. In a mo-
ment he looked up and exclaimed.
"See here, Morton, this wouldn't
do. Why don't you prepare this
statement on the typewriter? These
figures are disgraceful. Any 12-year-
old school boy could do better than
that. See that three? 1t looks for
all the world like a FIVE! No one
would take it for anything else. Just
look at it,"
81 beg pardon, senator" replied
the clerk apologetically. "The fact
is, it is a five."

Hadley's Fame Soon Gone.

JOHNSON FOR JUDGESHIP.
Finley, Aiken. Lever. Byrnes and
Whaley Call on the President.

Washington, March 5.-Congress-
men Finley. Aiken, Lever. Byrnes
and Whaley went to the white house
this morning and gave to the presi-
dent the unanimous endorsement of
the representatives and senators
from South Carolina of the Hon.
Joseph T. Johnson as judge of the
new district. Mr. Finley made this
statement concerning the matter:
The president received us very
kindly, and after some pleasantries
on both sides in reference to the
Cullop amendment the delegation as
sured the president that they had no
objection to all endorsements of Con-
gresham Johnson being made pub
lie. The. delegation has no doubt
hatever as to MIR. Johnson's appoint
ment."
Mr.. Finley further stated that
Senators Tillman and Smith. under
an agreement entered into two years
ago by the delegation, have the nam
ing of the marshal and district at
torney, and that the members of the
house have nothing whatever to do
with the appointment of these two
officials. 1t is taken for granted here
that the senator's, who have both
gone home, will forward their en-
dorsement of Lyon for the marshal
ship and Thurmond for the attor-
neyship, in accordance with the
agreement announced Tuesday night.
The nomination of Mr.. Johnson as
Judge will probably not be made un-
til the senate is again in session, so
that the appointee can be confirmed
before going on the bench.

The Man Who Wins.

The man who wins is an average
man.
Not built in any particular plan.
Not blest with any peculiar luck;
Just steady and earnest and full OF
pluck.
When asked a question he does not
guess
He knows and answers "No" or
yes"
When set to a task that the rest can t
He buckles down till he's put it
through;
Three things he learned: That the
man who tries
Finds favor in his employers eyes;
That it pays to know more than one
thing we'll,
That il doesn't pay all he knows to
tell,
For the man who wins is the man
who works,
Who neither labor nor trouble shlrks
Who uses his hand, his head, mis-
eyes,
The man who wins is the man who
tries.
