THURSDAY. DECEMBER 80, 1915.

The Great Drought is almost
upon us. 1t will strike South
Carolina broad-sided tomorrow
night at the hour of IL, and
everybody in this section ap-
pears to be glad of it. For some
time the dispensaries in the
several counties of the State
have been moving heaven and
earth" to get rid of the large
stocks of booze on hand, and
dispensers and clerks have heen
arranging to enter other fields
for a livelihood. Cities like
Columbia and Charleston which
have been dependent to a large
degree upon the dispensarv
revenue are likewise forced to
look elsewhere for funds TO run
the public business. Manv Of
the towns doubtless will take ur
the plan of levving a special or
privilege" tax upon the mer-
camille or other interests to meet
the deficit. Officers in the
counties where dispensaries have
been operated are not exrectinp
any great difficulty in enforcing
the prohibition law. Public
sentiment in South Carolina is
against the sale of whiskev. and
it is expected that the officials
will have the hearty cooperation
of the citizens in enforcing the
law.

Supper Date Changed.

On account of the date set for
the w. o. w. banquet in the
town hall conflicting with the
date of the annual inspection of
the local military organization,
the banquet will be held on We'd
nesday evening, January 18th,
instead of the 18th, as originally
set. The military inspection is
to be held the morning of the
18th, and as some little time is
required to prepare the hall for
the inspection, it was found
necessary to advance the date
of the supper one day.

of Boy Scouts; by James d. Fulp,
superintendent of the public
schools, on behalf of the young
people of the town and commun-
iCy; by j. A. Boyd on behalf of
the session and other officers Of
the church. The concluding ad-

which Mr.. Hafner made reply,

According to the Yorkville
Enquirer. the inability of those
North Carolinians to obtain their
whiskey from the express office
at Clover is not because the ex-
press people will not deliver the
goods. but because the sheriff of
CASTOR county stands ready to
seize any package that is brought
across the line. Now, if the
sheriff of CASTOR county has the
authority to seize these packages,
has not the sheriff of Mecklen-
burg county the same authority.
and if so why does that official
continue to allow the trans
portation of whiskey by the auto
load from Fort Mill across the
State line into Charlotte?

No form of development that
has taken place in this county
is so marked or worthy of notice
as the Improvement that is being
made in the class of farm homes.
Only a few years AGO. one could
drive for manv miles over the
public roads of York county. and
see but an occasional good farm
house. where the premises were
in keeping with the value of the
farm or the occupant of the
farm. Most of the farm build
inPs were shacks, of various
qualities and structures, hut few
costing more than a small pit
tance. Of recent years. how
ever, the owners of the farms.
have come to realize that farm
life is made more enjoyable and
pleasant by a good home,
whether for the land owner or
the tenant, and new houses are
being erected that are a credit
to the country, and will add
materially to the impression
made on visitors to our section,
who live in States where the
good farm home is the rule.

A BIT OF HISTORY.

Experience has shown that the clos
ing up Of the saloons and the outlaw
ing of the liquor traffic has always
proved a great benefit TO every legi-
innate industry A chapter in the
history Of Ireland furnishes a graphic
Illustration. During the years 1s09-1O
and 1894 the distilleries Of Ireland
were stopped on account OF the fam
inc, on the ground that these distil-
leries wasted the grain that might
otherwise be used by the people as
food. The results were surprising
The consumption OF spirits fell of
nearly one-half. On the other hand.
there was a tremendous increase in
the demand for dry goods. blankets,
cotton goods, sugar, hardware, crock
cry, groceries and other necessities.
thus showing that a year OF scarcity
with prohibition is better than year
OF plenty without it.

NO BEER FOR HER CHAUFFEUR.

A certain st. Louis brewer has
number of autos, one OF which is set
apart for the exclusive use of his wife.
Mrs. Brewer, being a reading and an
observing woman, knows something of
the nature and effects OF the stuff her
husband manufactures and will not
employ a chauffeur who drinks that
or any other kind Of alcoholic liquor.
Safety first" is her policy-that is,
personal safety. We venture to say
that neither husband nor wife feel
happy when they permit themselves to
think of the destruction which follows
in the wake of the brewing business.

ALCOHOL, THE DEcEVER.

One medlcal writer puts X thus:
There is no use in studying the
action Of alcohol on ourselves, as it
blunts our perceptions and renders us
unable to depend on our feelings.
People feel that alcohol warns them,
and yet the thermometer shows that
they are really colder. People feel
that they are doing more work when
they are taking alcohol, yet the result
shows they are doing less. People
feel that alcohol improves their sight.
hearing and other senses; yet expert
ence proves that It really injures them
all. Alcohol not only checks healthy
growth, predisposes TO sickness, les
sens the length OF life. awakens
hereditary cravings, and weakens the
mental powers. but also deceives.

SALOON HER GREATEST FOE.

What can the Catholic church do IL
she is loyal to her professed princi-
Piles, but raise her hand in opposition
to the American saloon, and put her
self clearly on record as its unswerv-
ing antagonist? The Catholic church
renounces her own life and principles
when she ceases to combat with all
her might intemperance in its causes
and alliances. The American saloon
is her mortal foe; between the church
and the saloon there, can be no truce.
