Virginia is Dry To-Day.

In obedience to the will of the peo-
pie, expressed through the enactment
of law by the legislature, $50 liquor
dealers closed their doors throughout
the State of Virginia last night; and, we
believe, never to open again. Anti
whiskey sentiment is very strong IN
Virginia. A prohibition law was voted
overwhelmingly by the people two
years ago to become effective Novem-
ber /, 1916, giving the liquor men time
to close out their business without a
loss. The law is very stringent IN
Virginia, among other provisions al
lowing only two quarts per month. "A
prohibition commissioner has been
provided to enforce the law.

"These facts show the urgent
need for the state to begin imme-

people, as far as is possible, so that
they may be protected, made happy
and contented, and kept from
bringing into the world children
of their kind that should never be
born.
''Ihe further unaisputed fact that
over 80 per cent of the feeble mind
edness we know is hereditary shows
that the best means of dealing with
this problem is to segregate and
thus prevent propagation.
II believe this beginning in state
provision and care should be made
in 1917 and I shall bend my earnest
efforts to- get the general assembly
to take this progressive and con-
structive tep."-The State.

The Power of the Spoken Word.

Words that the speaker soon for
gets may bring forth abundant fruit
later. In proof thereof The Bible
To-day tells the following story:
After an outdoor evangelislic meet
ing in New York, cleau-cut Chris
tian young man came up to the
speaker, and said: Il was one of
the worst young boys In New York.
One day a boy who kept himself
clean and who had a good home in
vited me to go with him to his
house. While / was there his
mother asked him to do something
and he answered, Yes, mother dear.
His reply struck me hard, for had
never spoken to my mother in that
way. I went home and when my
mother spoke to me, said, Yes,
mother dear All the members of
my family laughed at me, for
nothing like that had ever been
heard III our home before. But /
made up my mind that would 60
on speaking to my mother in that
way. From that time my entire
life began to improve. Thus ole
boys kindness to his mother is still
bringing forth good fruit in the life
of a man.

A Judge With Moral Courage.

Conditions with reference to law en-
forcement have wonderfully improved
in Charleston during the past year.
The press and that element of Charles
toms citizenship which has labored so
increasingly for the betterment of con-
ditions deserve the highest commenda-
ton. Petit and grand jurors are no
longer shirking their duty. Some OF
the best men in the city serve as Ju-
rors and are doing their duty.
Another good fortune of Charleston
during the past year, has been the
character of the judges that have pre-
sided over the criminal court Judge
Mendel Smith made an earnest appeal
some mouths ago to the citizenship OF
Charleston to rise in their might and
punish the lawbreakers. There was
an immediate response, as convictions
W ere recorded at that session OF court
that were previously unknown. The
best element of Charleston's citizen
ship responded to the call to duty.
Another Judge who has made an i'm
preston upon lawbreakers that will
not soon be forgotten presided for the
past several weeks. We refer to Judge
Rice, who in passing chaingang SEN
tences upon nearly dozen Charles
ton blind tigers, said in effect: "The
supreme court can set aside the ver-
diets, if it chooses to, but will do my
duty as long as I am on the bench. :"
It requires moral courage to send white
men to the chaingang for the unlaw-
full selling of liquor, but the man,
whether white or colored, who persists
in violating the law should be shown no
mercy.
All that saved Vincent Chicco, the
famous, rather infamous, tiger, from
wearing stripes was a mistrial in his
case. Had he been convicted along
with his other confederates, Judge
Rice would not have hesitated to send
him to the public road. And you can
bet your last dollar that this narrow
escape will make this noted lawbreaker
go slower.

The Feeble Minded to be Cared
For.
Governor Manning Will Ask the Next
Legislature to Provide an Institution
For Them.

Governor Manning has agreed to
recommend the erection to the state
of an institution for the custodial
care of the feeble minded. Find,
ings by the state board of charities
and corrections have led that body
to press upon the governor the
great need for place the nature of
which is outlined as follows in re-
cent bulletin:
THE thing for South Carolina
to do now is to establish an in
stitution for the feeble minded,
which shall be usder state con-
troll, but entirely separate from
any institution now in the state,
built on the colony plan with
simple buildings, large acreage,
the whole plant especially adapt
ed to the cus.raa. of these un-
fortunate folk, that they may
become, through prope care
and training, as nearlf sci. jus-
tanning as possible and that by
being both comfortable and
happy they may be enabled to
enjoy their life long childhood
as richly as they can. :"
Gov. Manning announced his
purpose to support the movement
in a letter to the board, as fol-
lows:
''The Investigation made by you
reveals beyond all question that
South Carolina has a pressing
problem in the feeble minded in
our almhouses, prisons and other
institutions, and in the state at
large.
Many pitible cases of human
sufferings, disease and lack of care
have been brought to light.
THE evidence is strong that
these unfortunates, because they
are neglected by the state, become
the victims not only of their own
inherited inability to control them
selves, but also of stronger person
alties who prey upon them and use
them in unscrupulous fashion for
their selfish ends.

Number Five" "
(Rev. Mary E. kuhl.)

In a country church near a thriv-
ing little village of the west there
was held silver medal contest in
connection with w. G. t. U. con-
vention. 1t took place on one of
those clear, calm nights when the
moon shines brightly and the stars
twinkle with unusual beauty, and
attracted crowd of people.
I A boy who had come early to
see the fun," remarked to one of the
judges who was also in advance of
the hour set for the entertainment,
that he hoped lame boy, one of
the contestants, would get the med.
al. The Judge assured him with
earnestness that the speakers must
be marked strictly according to their
merits.
Each one on the program that
night recited with reasonable credit.
When Number Five" was called,
hush went over the house as little
lame boy hobbled to the front OF
the platform. With spirit and pa
thos he recited The Terrible
Charge" Every word he uttered
seemed to burn into the hearts and
minds of his hearers the awful cru,
elites of the liquor traffic. When
he had finished, long continued ap-
plause greeted the young speaker,
bringing to his pale, sad face
smile of pleasure.
When Number Eight" had Civ
en- his selection, the judges retired
to deliberate and the audience await
ed in breathless silence their decis-
ion. At last it was announced that
the medal had been awarded unani.
mously to Number Five" Imme.
diately the applause became deaf
ening. The great audience, to
whom the boys history was known,
plainly showed its emotion. Peo-
pie were not ashamed to let the
tears fill their eyes. The scene was
one long to be remembered as tie
boy with his crippled limbs stepped
forward to receive the medal. In a
sweet, yet firm, voice he expressed
his thanks and said that he would
always work for prohibition.
The people were concerned no.
merely because the boy was lame
and had carried off the honors. The
reason for their show of feeling lay
in tie circumstances connected with
his life. Two years before his mo.
ther, who had been his best friend.
had passed to the beyond. His fa-
tier, a hard drinking man, had
tried in every possible way to keep
him from entering the contest, tell
ing him that he could never amount
to anything because he was lame
and that there was no chance for
him to win the medal. But the boy
never lost hope. Struggling on, in
a home made desolate by the rava-
ges of liquor, he practiced and stud
led night after night by the light of
a poor lamp and scant Goals of fire.
The peoples love and sympathy
went out toward him-and he had
been victorious. More than that,
