The opponents Of real prohibition
may congratulate themselves on their
parliamentary skill and applaud the
cieverness with which they worked
the trick that pigeon-hole the Richcy
"bone-dry" bill for this session, but
they will find that they have not set
tied tho question by any means. They
have won only postponment--and
only q temporary postponement at
most. The time Is ripe for real pro-
hibition., All big business enterprises
are demanding total abstenance of
their workmen. and majority of the
people Of South Carolina agree with
tho captains OF industry that "a sober
man In usually an efficient man, also
that sober citizenship Is more thrifty.
more industrious and moro law-abid-
ing than an intemperate and drunken
people. Prohibition has never yet
been given fair trial in this State

War News.

The Germans, with very large forces,
attacked the British along the Ba-
paume- Cambria road over front of
six miles and, fighting desperately,
succeeded in gaining foothold in the
village of Lagnicourt, which lies south
west of Queant, position of great
strategic Importance in the German
line. Everywhere else along the Brit
ish front the Germans were repulsed,
according to the official report, and
their success at Lagnicourt was not
for long, as a powerful British coun-
ter attack drove them out Three hun
dred Germans were made prisoners
and 1900 German dead were counted.

Field Marshal Haig's bulletin giving
the number of guns captured as 166
and the aggregate of prisoners as 49,
900 and the details of new territory
gained for France from the invader
marks the battle of Arras as a great
victory. But the significant state
ment from Field Marshal Haig is that
the British are astride the Hinden.
burg line.
Austrian troops engaged with the
Russians in Galicia ran up white flags
and attempted to go over to the Rus
sian lines recently, the war office an
nounces. On being attacked by their
own artillery, they returned to their
trenches.
The British forces in France south
east OF Arras have captured the vii
lagos of Wancourt and Heninel and
adjoining positions, and also made
progress north of the Scarpe river
and in the last part of the Vimy Ridge
held by the Germans, according to an
official communication.

The British are continuing their sue
cess in the vicinity of GAIA, Palestine.
Their mounted forces have occupied
further Turkish territory to a depth
of fifteen miles, consolidating strong
positions menacing GAIA and taking
many prisoners.
+ + r
Under the most extraordinary wea-
Their conditions recorded in France in
a score of years the British offensive
about Arras continues successfully.
Recently the cavalry went into action
and contributed to the taking of Mon
chy-le.Preux and other important POI
sitions So successful was the artil-
lery barrier set up by the British back
of The German lines that some of the
German prisoners reported that they
had been without food supplies for
four days.

3 NEGROES ELECTRoCUTED
Taylor, Williams and Young Pay the
Penalty For Murder.

All three of the doomed men were
stolid in the face of death. Rev. A. b..
johnson, prison chaplain, and two
other ministers were at the doors OF
the cells reading passages from the
Bible and singing hymns.
Chester Taylor was Creek county
negro who was convicted of murder
z ing his wife, Millie Taylor, on the
night of Aug "a, 1914. Taylor had for
hidden his wife to go to dance at
Clifton where they were living, accord
ing to evidence. She returned from
the dance about midnight and was kill
ed shortly after.
Charles Young, Of Tillman county,
killed George Good, white man, De-
cember 2. 1t was shown that the kill
ing was accidental, Young having run
amuck in a negro settlement where
Good had come for his laundry.
Willie Williams, the Muskogee coun'
ty negro electrocuted, killed Sam Neal,
q Muskogee policeman.
This is the largest number Of elec'
trocutions ever had at one time in tho
