DOWN WlIH CREDIT.

Recently in an adjoining town
the sheriff was offering the goods
and accounts of a merchant for
what he could get. The &C.
counts amounted to $500 and
were sold for less than So. Why?
Because they belong to that
class of people who never pay
an honest debt nor expect to
pay one if they can help it. The
prime cause of this state Of
things is the credit system. AS
the cancer is to humanity so is
the credit system to the busi-
ness world. Politicians are
quarreling about protection and
free trade, but if the system of

Quoted by men of good ability
and those who posses the spirit
of genuine progress. The places
of business are, for the most
part, well arranged, neatly kept
and managed with a promptness
and courtesy towards customers
that compare favorabIy with
many cities of much larger size.
We wish you would all get in
terested in your town and stand
by it. If a rich man starts a
project. encourage it, if z poor
man, help him. Don't be afraid
to stick your hand in your pock-
ct. If you have means, invest
in something that will give en-
ployment to somebody. Do not
kick on every proposed improve
ment simply because it is not at
your own door. Do all you can
to beautify your town and your
property also. Be friendly to
everybody and courteous to
strangers, and never forget that
you are part OF the town and
chat your own department does
it's share in giving the town its
character. Sell and buy all you
can at home. Stand by all other
enterprising citizens and be
ready to do some of the work
yourself, and don't grumble or
spend your time IN propbesying
failures.

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF OUR ToWNs

Well, that is a pretty direct
question, and one, too, which
might be answered in great
variety of ways. But a modest
opinion concerning the question,
and from one expects to make
this his home, may possibly be
read with some interest by Cit
liens. Our town is indeed,
beautiful for situation. Nature
seems to- have done her utmost
in creating a fine site for a city
of genuine worth and enduring
progress It would thus seem
that nature must have designed
this particular spot for a noble
and high minded class of citizens
Nature, in this respect has evi-
dently met with a genuine re
sponse. Every town or city has
an Individuality, a type of it's
own. and thus attracts citizens
of the same general character
istics-to a great extent, at
least. we think this is true.
The people here are observed
to be thoughtful, kind. sympa-
thetic and helpful to one anoth-
er. And, as the Postum man is
won't to say, ''There's rea.
son." This IS pre-emiently a
city of homes. The very atmos-
phere of things imparts to one a
restful feeling, a thoughtful
spirit, and all is concerned in
the development and growth of
che higher ideals.
In speaking of our town as a
city of homes, however, we do
not mean to say that it is not
also a place of substantial busi-
ness interests. By no means!
All the various kinds of bust.
ness are not only we'll represent
ed, but they also seem to be con-

port the contention of the State,

port the contention of the State,
against the constitutionality of
the law passed by the recent ses
sion of the General Assembly,
which Cole L. Blease and Frank
G.. Tomkins, two Columbia at
torneys, will likely have some
thing to say supporting the
brief field which contends that
the Act is not in accordance with
the spirit of the Constitution.
DRYs FEEL CONFIDENT.
Prohibition leaders here and
elsewhere over the State are
confident of the decision of the
Court, however, taking the
ground that the men who we're
instrumental in framing the law
had already looked into into it's
status before passage. It is arg
ued by the prohibition leaders
that it passed a very vigilant
judiciary committee in both
branches of the Legislature. af-
ter having been carefully inves-
tigated by some of the leading
lawyers of the State.
The agitating of the matter by
those whe have brought the ac-
ton, it is predicted will have a
very salutary effect upon those
voters IN the State who, up to
this time, have been Indifferent t
to the result OF. the election.
Those who are IN a position to
know state state that it will un-
doubtedly have the effect Of
bringing out the vote in Septem-
Der, that there has been some
what of an Indifference shown
on account of the presupposed
victory for prohibition. and that
these Indifferent people will now
see the grave danger they face
in fighting liquor, with its many
minds and many methods of
fighting.
D. W. Robinson. OF this city,
who has been the generel secre-
tary of the prohibition forces
for some time: and who has been
taking a great interest in the
coming election, seems to be sat
isfed with the result of the com
ing decision. When seen at his
Office today he gave out the fol-
lowing interview: "We think
the suit need cause no great
anxiety to those who are re
sponsible for the law and expect
to have the question settled by
the election to be held IN Sep
tember. If there is any princl-
pie that is basic and fundamen.

is the ultim ate sovereignty of

NATIONAL PROHIBITION A FARCE.

Under National Prohibition
the Government would recog-
nize the right of the individual
to operate his own still, and the
mountaineer could distill his
corn without interference. How.
ever, the making of whiskey
would not be confined to the
mountains nor to the mountain

would have the right to make
wine, beer, brandy, whisky or
hard cider, and it is not difficult
to make these beverages.

Columbia, August Especial:
No little ginger has been inject
ed into the question of liquor or
no liquor in this State by the in-
junction proceedings which are
to come before the State Su
preme Court on the 2Oth of this
month. Since the order of ref
erence secured from Judge Watts
when he ordered it up before
the supreme Court last week.
much speculation has been in-
dulged in by those who are op-
posed to the prohibition meas.
ure. and by those who are in fav
or of State. wide prohibition. Both
sides of the controversy seem
satisfied that their respective e
side will win out before the
court, and they are in a sense
resting upon their arms await
ing the hearing.
It is assumed that the hearing
will bring to Columbia many
prominent people from all parts
c'f the State, who have very de-
cided opinions upon both sides
of the controversy, and at the
Supreme Court room it is
thought that some brilliant ar.
guments will be heard. The At

whole. and their relations to and
among themselves as citizens.
Our constitution says IN its op-
ening section. All political
power is vested in and derived
from the people only, therefore
they have the right at all times
to modify their form of govern :
ment. We are satisfied that the
Court decision will not In any
manner interfere with the elec-
tion set for the 14th of Septern-
Der. In a way 4 am almost glad
of the suit-for it emphasizes
the hard fight the prchibitionists
are up against it when they
tackle liquor. We need the com
bined support Of the people. and
hope that they will give ear to
the pleas of those interested in
the passage of the measure, and
throw their support and infu'
ence towards ,abolishing the liq-
uor traffic from the confines of

not be hindered and harassed by

OTHERS FEEL, SAME WAY.
Other leaders from over the
State feel practically the same
way towards the suit. J. Rut-
ledge McGee, who is editor of
weekly newspapers at Johnston
and at Batesburg, and who is
secretary of the publicity COM

1T RUINS HAIR TO
WASH IT WITH SOAP

Soap should be used very spar
ingly, if at all, if you want to keep
your hair looking its best. Most
soaps and prepared shampoos con-
tain too much alkali. This dries
the scalp, makes the hair brittle,
and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is
just ordinary mulsified cocoanut oil
(Which is pure and greaseless). is
cheaper and better than soap Or
anything else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will
cleanse the hair and scalp thor
oughly. Simply moisten the hair
with water and rub it in. 1t makes
an abundance Of rich, creamy lath-
er, which rinses out easily, remov-
ing every particle of dust, dirt,
dandruff and excessive oil. The
hair dries quickly and evenly and
leaves the scalp soft, and the hair
fine and silky, bright, lustrous, fluf-
fly and easy to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut
oil at any pharmacy. and a few
ounces will supply every member OF
the family for months.
