A Way Will Be Found.

The fate of the gallon-a-month law
will be decided octoper IA, when an
en- banc session of the supreme court
will be held to pass upon its constltu
tionality. Let the outcome be what II
may, as long as public sentiment con-
tinues as strong in South Carolina as
it is now in favor of suppressing the
sale and consumption of Intoxicating
liquors, there will be a way found to
accomplish the desired end. An over
whelming public sentiment has never
yet fallen short of being crystallzed
into law-into a law that is effective.
Let US then not be unduly disturbed
over the fate of the law which hXes
the maximum quantity which an lndl-
vidual can order during one month. No
backward step will be taken in prohl-
bltion legislation in South Carolina.

Mr.. McLaurin's Mistake.

Several days ago State Warehouse
Commissioner McLaurin gave out, IN
a very indirect way, statement TO
the effect that he would hand in his
resignation, but up to this time moth
ing has been heard from him in an OF
fetal way. 1t is but proper that ne
should resign and if,4 as he states, ne
has the interests of the farmers really
at reart, he will sever his connection
altogether with the warehouse system.
During the campaign Mr.. McLaurln
wrote a lengthy letter to one OF the
leading semi-weekly papers in the
State in which he discussed the ware
house system and openly and actively
advocated the candidacy of one of the
defeated candidates for governor. At
the time, The Advertiser called atten-
tion to his fatal mistake in bringing
the warehouse directly into politics,
and the result of the election sustains
the position that this paper took at
that time.
In the recent election Mr.. McLaurln
went down in defeat, or at least his
candidate for governor was defeated,
and furthermore a large majority OF
the legislature will be antagonistlc
to him because of his political activity
during the campaign. The men whom
Mr.. McLaurin has openly antagonized
can not reasonably be expected to give
him their cordial support in his efforts
to more firmly establish the warehouse
system in South Carolina. Without
the loyal support of a majority of the
members of the general assembly, the
warehouse will never be success.
Thus it is shown that MIR. McLaurin
made mistake when, as warehouse
commissioner, he openly and actively
supported one of the candidates for
governor. He should not have given
active support to either of the candi-
dates for governor.
The Advertiser favors warehouse
system, if it can be divested of poll,
tics and managed in a. business-Iike
way. Mr.. McLaurin has repeatedly
shown that such is not his policy, and
therefore we think his resignation is
in order. Unless he submits it volun-
tarily, it should be requested.

President Has Done Well.

In the presence Of the greatest Of
all wars. which appeals strongly to d.
vided American sentiments, and which
strikes deeply at American interests
at a thousand points, the president has
preserved the honor Of the nation, has
in its behalf performed his duty to
mankind Of insisting upon the pres
ervation of the sanctions and, re-
straints of international law, and has
so far achieved important diplomatic
victories without the threat Of force,
but in manner that leaves neither
America nor Europe in doubt that he
would use force If diplomacy should
fail.
At the opening Of presidential
campaign the Republicans will, Of
course, loudly deny all these things.
but they are true, and In ten years no
one will dispute them.-Philadelphia

Weekly Letter From Edgefielo
School.

Back at work once more. After
having spent a grand vacation it is
dreadful to have to settle down, but
there is no use to grumble for it is
for our benefit. 1t seems strange
not to have the lively senior girls of
last year back with US but We are
delighted to have SO many new pu-
pills come in to fill up the broken
ranks. The new pupils are: Marga-
ret and Emma Blocker, Mary Dorm,
Bette Lou Morgan, Mary Nichol-
son, Fanny QUITS, Hob Byrd, Will
liam Gaines, Edgar Lanham and
Eugene Timmons. None of these
however entered the eleventh grade.
We are very eager for one of the
other sex to join us because we
are only four girls. Can't the coun-
try let us have at least one boy?
Miss Snow Jeffrles and Miss
Gladys Rlves began their work in
the graded and high school Monday
morning. We high school girls hate
to see Miss Rainsford leave for she
has certainly been a splendid teach
er and valuable friend to each stu
dent, yet we would not keep her
bound to the school room as We are

All students like a change how
ever, and we welcome Miss Jeffries
with great delight. She is quite COM
petent to fill the place as teacher
and it is up to US to fill our place as
pupils.

to our new South Carolina flag

The removal of this structure will

We see by the papers that Georgia
and Florida negroes are going North
by train loads to serve as laborers on
the Pennsylvania railroad, taking the
places of Italians who have been called
to the coors. The high wages offered
may be very tempting but. when the
rigors of winter in Pennsylvania strike
those darkies from Dixie tbroadside
they will long for the cotton and corn
fields. The South is the best place in
the worli for the colored man, or any
other man, for that matter.

There is always some drain, finan-
cially, on the South. About the time
our people learned to move their corn
cribs and smoke-houses from the West
to their own plantations, the automo-
biles epidemic broke out and is taking
millions upon millions of southern
money to the northwest. And this last
drain bids fair, with cotton selling
for Is cents, to be the most harmful
OF all.

Forecast by Hllles.

On the eve Of the meeting of the
Republican national convention Chair
man Charles D. Hilles gave out a
statement in which he predicted q
Republican victory. AS forecaster,
the Honorable Charles is without a
peer, and if prognosticating were the
sum total of the national chairman's 8
duties, he would be the ideal man for
the job. Unfortunately, however, the
retrospective is not so pleasant, as
