Promises Should be Kept.

As result of urgent appeals made
to President Wilson, large number of
men doing border duty along the Mexl-
can front will soon be returned and
mustered out of active service. Among
those TO be returned are several COM
panies in Augusta. When the call was
mad last year for men for military
service, many young men gave up good
positions in order to go to the front,
their employers promising to hold their
positions open for them.
1t appears now that some of the en-
ployers who promised to hold positions
for their employees who answered
their country's call are disposed to dis,
regard the promises made. Wherever
promises were made and accepted in
good faith, the enlistment for military
dury being somewhat conditioned upon
:, IN the failure to keep them will be

:. act. 1t is hoped that there are
,4 ~ employers of this class. Young

Eliminate Intoxicants as a Beverage.

Pioneers in the ranks of prohibition
lists of this and other States have had
many discouragements and obstacles
to overcome, but some of them will be
compensated by having their labors
crowned with full fruition while they
yet live. In this State we are within
one step of the coveted goal--that of
absolutely shutting out intoxicants ss
beverage.
The favorable developments of the
past thirty days are almost beyond the
expectations of the mostardent prohibi-
tionist. The overwhelming vote of the
United States senate prohibiting the
sale of whiskey in the District of CO.
lumbia reflects not only favorable
sentiment in the national legislative
halls but also that the people of the
nation, through their representatives
in congress, are demanding that the
great evil be throttled at its fountain
head. =
The recent supreme court decision
declaring the Webb-Kenyon act to be
constitutional makes it possible for
South Carolina to eliminate intoxica-
ting liquors altogether as beverage,
even before the national congress for
bids their manufacture and sale. By
enacting law prohibiting the ship
ment of intoxicants into the State as
a beverage each State can enjoy the
fruits of absolute prohibition almost to
the same extent as when the federal
government prohibits the manuf acture
and sale.
Whether South Carolina shall enjoy
the fruits of ABSOLUTE PROHlBI-
TION now or wait till federal action is
taken, rests With the Legislature. Cen
tlemen of the general assembly, we
believe the time has come in South
Carolina for the elimination or absolute
prohibition of intoXicants as bev-
erage.

In closing, l should like to ap-

white men, beg you to deal justly

negro too is human, and as all other

We only ask that as you hold the
scales of justice in your hands YOU
will allow the balance to tip on the

you will throw around US the same
protection which your father and
grandfather gave his slave. You

Georqians Favor Absolute Prohibition.

But one thing is needed now to make
Georgia bone dry and that is a call for
an extra session of the legislature.
The lawmakers of Georgia have been
questioned individually as to their attl-
tude toward absolute prohibition and
an overwhelming majority, since the
Webh-Kenyon decision, favor shutting
out liquor shipments altogether. 10
convene the legislature in extra ses-
sion would cost approximately S65, ,OOO
but this would be a mere ,bagatelle
compared with the immeasurable bene-
fits resulting from ABSOLUTE PRO-
HIBITION.

"Bond issue or no bond ISSUE" asks
a headlines in one paper. Well, IN
about nine times out of ten The AdVer-
tiser would answer, "No Bond Issue, =

mand. One generation should 60 slo"
in the matter of saddling big debt on
the generations that follow. The peo'
pie in some parts of Edgefeld county
are now burdened with old railroad
bonds that were doubtless issued IN
haste. Bonds should never be voteo
without the most serious consideration
on the part of the tax payers.

The traditional search for ga needle in
a. ..ay-stack", which is pointed out as
very difficult undertaking, pales into
insignifcance when compared to the
search for the Moewe, the German
submarine that has been making such
depradations in South American wa
tiers. If the Deutschland can not be
captured when the English vessels that
are doing sentinel duty have notice
wh it is to pass their way, how will
they ever find and capture the Moewe?

statement she gave in endorsement
of Tanlac.

really felt better than / ever remem-
Der of feeling before. Taulac is
the only medicine ! ever took that
helped my Indigestion and nervous
troubles.
Il suffered particularly from

troubles, and that made my condi-

times with the pain. My nerves
were in such bad shape that if any
one knocked Unexpectedly at the

a complete wreck.
