About the TwO-Qu,rt Law.
(Bamberg Herald.)

(6aHDeT5 ]1STdlu.J
The two-quarts-per-mon law
doesn't seem to suit anybody. This
law was enacted by the last Legisla-
ture, and it is now in the hands Of
the Governor. Whether he will sign
the measure or not, he has not indi-
Gated, but it Is pretty certain that he
lie giving the--mat tier careful consid-
er9tion. The meas,l" Will become
J law it II is approved b the Cover
nor, 20 days after M tathches his
sjSnnturc The m@asu Aas recently
been widely discussed Us the news
papers The following from the
News and Courier may throw some
light on why the Governor has not
yet signed the bill:
Although the Greenwood Journal
and the Spartanburg Journal, both Of
which are strong for prohibition,
have been insisting that Governor
Manning hurry up and sign the two
quart bill, the Manning Herald, which
is edited by J. K. Breedin, the official
spokesman for the prohibition move
ment in last years campaign, de-
nounces the new law as "a travesty
on the cause Of temperance" The
Herald Is especially indignant that
the Legislature should have allowed
60 pints of beer month to be i'm
UOrted and asserts that this is def
auco ui the spirit Of prohibition.
But il also brings another count
= *agNin6t the measure. Somewhere -
il says, "the Bin contains provisions
so faulty qhrasod that wholesale
Uruggist-a man widely respected,
and himself leading prohibitionist
says that it is possible so to inter-
pret the new act as to drive out Of
business every drug store in the
State.''
The bill, then, satisfies nobody who
has given it any serious considera
tion and If Governor Manning signs
it he will find it even more OF a
trouble-maker in its way than the
new insurance laws have proved. The
prohibitionists will be offended be-
cause OF the notable increases in beer
importations which may be expected:
the anti-prohibitionis will resent
the fact that the act makes a law
breaker out OF anybody who has more
than two quarts Of wines or liquor
in his possession, no matter for what
purpose. Such a law could never
have been passed If the Legislature
had been willing to listen to reason
on this subject.

The Autumn Fires

Inc Autumn FIRES
A thin blue streak of pungent acrid
smoke,
Is herald of the autumn fires,
Fed with dead leaves, in sudden fit
full glare
The passing summers funeral
pyres.
The dripping trees hold fast the sod
den stems
Beneath the whip and lash of rain
And bend and break ere they will
loose their hold,
Till stripped they stand, nor dare
complain.
Upon the ground the summers lar
CESS lies.
For SO the leaf and tree must part
With pang as keen, on doubt, as NOR
tai feels,
Who views his dead with breaking
heart.
And over all the earth the purple
pail
And mingled odors tell today
Of death, but winds from out the
south are due
That soon will blow them all away.
Sad autumn fires that of the sum-
mer's death,
And parting of the ways doth tell,
Glad autumn fires that purify and
give
Full promise that with God tbs
well. Frank Fair.

Today's Poem
THE WHITE DAY LILY

BY l.. Myrtle Sours
Green was the great white lily clump
That in the garden stod;
Green and round and beautiful,
The sight Of it was good.
Broad were the big ribbed, tender
leaves
That caught the drops of rain
And made their music sound as loud
AS the drops on the window pane.
Through spring and early summer
1t drank great drops of dew;
Through days of rain or sunshine
Persistently it grew.
At last came buds and blossoms,
Fresh bloom for every day,
Snow white and filled with perfume
To cheer US on our way.
No dream of graceful loneliness
More charming was to see.
Oh, Lily white, so beautiful!
So fair on cloudy days!
Where did you learn the lesson
OF wisdom's happy ways?
On darkest days your sunshine
Smiles forth with fairest light,
IT'S then your eyes stay open
From morning until night.
Oh, fair and sweet and beautiful!
Your lesson teach to me,
That when the skies look darkest
My life should brightest be.

Parable of the Horse and Tricycle.
Now | have a friend who is older
than l and he did his Thinking nigh
on to Fifty Years Ago, and if he hath
had a New Think Since, it was by
Accident, and he wrote Book where
in he denounced what he Thought
were the Errors Of the Day, but
which were the Errors of the Day
Before Yesterday, but he knew it not.
And some of them had Ceased TO be
Errors; and that also had Escaped
his Notice And / was reading his
Book as / rode upon the Train, and
| mediated what | should say to him
about it.
Now the Train Stopped in Little
City, and | saw beside the Platform
an old Horse Harnessed to a Milk
Wagon, and the Engines Whanged
and Hooted, but he moved not, And
the Automobiles Honked and he
stood as one who said. / Should
Worry, and he worried not. And a
Motorcycle chugged past, and he
Switch. But little girl came on a
Tricycle., and he Reared, and Pitch
ed, and was sore afraid, so that he
well nigh broke the Harness, and it
required Two Men to hold him till
the Little Girl got past.
And when / saw this, | knew what
to write to my friend, and / wrote to
him, and said,
Oh, my friend, well beloved, the
Errors at which thou art Affrighted
ceased to scare other Men about the
time most Horses Stopped Shying at
the Locomotive, and some of them
Ceased to be discussed about the time
Other Horses became Wise to the
Gasoline Buggy. The only reason
thou art alarmed at these Errors is
that they are almost as Bearded with
Moss as thou art Oh, my friend,
thou art Back Number, even an Old
PIGGY. Thou dost shy at Tricycle.,
and behold, the rest of the world is
wonted to the Locomotive and the
Automobile, yea, and the Ford, also.
And l knew not how my friend
would love me for this Epistle, and /
feared lest the Lesson might be lost
on him. Therefore, l was resolved
to Profit by it Myself. And / prayed
my God that if must be Affrighted
at anything it might not be at things
that already were gone by. And l
resolved that having Learned to see
some Errors which snort like Loco
motives, and tear down the Pike like
Automobiles, / will Endeavor to pos
sess my Soul in Patience in the pres
ence of Tricycles. Yea, | resolved
in my Soul that would learn to
Stand without Hitching.

Praises Prohibition

+. b. Choate, assistant genera

cent years.

"Workingmen go home now with
money for their families at the end
Of the week, instead of spending
much, if not all of it, at the saloons,
OF course a man can get liquor from
out Of the state for his own personal
use, if he wants to, but the tempta-
ton to the rising generation has been
taken away, and when the older heads
who have been used to their highballs
and beers are gone, the current gen
GRAFTON will have matured without ac-
curing a taste for drink, and that

Effect of Dry Conditions on Black
smiths.

"You would be surprised what a
difference the dry propaganda has
made in the paying qualities of the
blacksmiths of the country" remark
ed an iron jobber the other day. at
is not SO much the money the black
smith squanders for liquor as it is the
time he wastes in the saloon which
makes him hard up. AS soon as a
county goes dry, we Immediately ex-
tend unlimited credit to any estab-
lished blacksmith-and never lose a
cent. On the other hand, we have to
scrutinize the credit of every black
smith in wet counties. All our losses
in dealing with blacksmiths OCCUR in
wet counties. We have never met
a loss in a dry county"

Ore. The middle of August last year,

time this year there were sixty men
and one woman behind the bars-less
than half as many. The difference is
