So numerous are the petitions
asking for the adoption of eastern

light club Is almost swamped, and
II will be another week before the
proposition can be submitted to the
common council
This decision was reached In a
conference OF the leaders OF the
movement, Monday morning While
they feel that the fight for more
daylight at the end of the day has
been practically won. they do not
want to run any risk OF slipping UP
now. and II was thought better to
wait until all the petitions are in.
In the meantime converts are
fiocking to the cause by the hun
dreds. Concerns that were only
luke-warm on the proposition before
have become enthusiastic in the
past few days The prospect OF
later ball games. by the clock, has
won over many1 fans 10 the fast

has done more than anything else

ard he would still have an hour OF

The adoption OF eastern standard
by the city would automatically re.
suit In a reversion to the old hours
that prevailed when sun time pre-
vailed here. Factories would start
work at O'clock, the time-honored
hour for beginning the days toll.
The 10-hour day would run from Z
TO 6. with time out for dinner, and
the eight-hour day from to 4. or .
to 4, as the management might
elect. The change, probably, would
not affect the theaters; that is, the

the proposed change in time is DIR.

MUST ENFORCE LAW.
w. G. r. U. Points to South Caro-
lina's Next Duty.
To the Editor of The Times:

To the Editor of The Times:
Will you allow space for few
words from the South Carolina Wo-
mans Christian Temperance union
The w. c. T. U. has been organized
and has been working in this State
for 32 years, looking forward with a
faith that never faltered and cour-
age that never weakened, to the day
when South Carolina would throw off
the shackles of the legalized liquor
traffic. On September Ia our faith
and courage were rewarded, and we
wish to thank the noble manhood of
this State, who won for us such a
splendid victory at the polls.
1t means much, not in South Caro-
lima alone, but to the temperance and
reform movements all over the
world, that South Carolina has taken
so decided and so emphatic a step, for
it demonstrates the fact government
ment control of the liquor business,
under the dispensary system, has
proven as gigantic failure as any
other effort at regulation. After a
fair trial, under the best circum-
stances, the people of South Caro-
lima have decided that government
control will not work, and that the
only satisfactory way to deal with
this business is to prohibit it. A
great battle has been won but the
war is not over. The white ribbon
army in South Carolina can not dis
band. Some one has said that Estate
wide prohibition is simply good po-
sition from which to fight the liquor
traffic" and this is true. This victory
must be followed by law enforce
ment, and it is the cuty of every man
and woman to uphold the hands of
the governor and others in authority
in their efforts to enforce the law.
They can not do it without the SYM
pathy and cooperation of the citizen
ship of the State.
The war against the liquor traffic
is nationwide and a worldwide
war. The South Carolina w. G. T. U.
begins the new year October 1, 1915,
better equipped than ever before. We
have now 1000 paid up active mem
bers, not including the men, who are
honorary members and pay dues into
the local treasures, but not into the
State or national, nor the Loyal Tenn
perance legioners, as our children
white ribboners are called. The w.
G.. T. u. in this State has a member
ship of 1000 women, who have paid
dues this year. The national w. G.
7. u. has paid up membership of
100000 women in the United States,
and we expect to keep on "agitating,
educating and oganizing" till that
glad day when alcoholic liquors can
nowhere in the world be legally man
ufacturer or sold.

President South Carolina w. G. T. u,
