Many other horrible stories were

The information and subtle growth
of drug habits is often derived
from use of narcotics in regular
medical treatment, as the testimony
cited tends to show. 1t does not
suffice to declare the use of narcotics
a crime and to treat addicts as
vicious because the habit prevails
among a criminal element. The drug
habit is first of all disease. The
methods employed to check it should
be corrected, rather than punitive. If
it could be discovered to what extent
the habit is encouraged and develop
ed by physicians prescriptions, it
would be possible to take remedial
action along that line by legislation
restricting to a greater extent the
pathological use of morphine and
other habit-forming drugs. The
federal statutes on this subject have
effected a great deal in the way of
correction, yet it is evident that
much remains to be done.-Green-

The hardships caused by the wa

The hardships caused by the war
are being felt; and it is our opinion
that they have just started. We
think people may as we'll prepare
themselves for further sacrifices. The
war may close soon, though we can
see no cal reason for its doing so.
To be on the safe side the people had
better make up their minds as to
what is coming. With war not yet
actually begun on the part o, Amer
lea, and preparations for war not yet
fairly under way, it may be assumed
what conditions are going to be later
on. We are not pessimistic at all,
but facts may as we'll be faced. There
is no reason to believe that America
will not be in a state of war for
months maybe years-to come.

The fuel Administrations order

complaining. If the order will DO
anything toward relieving the fuel
situation, we will feel amply repaid.
Inasmuch as our current is generated
during the daytime at the cotton MILL

could not operate even on newspaper
work. Under the order all printing
establishments were closed down, but
we're allowed to publish newspapers.

Statement by MIR. Wyman.

To the Editor: A news item from
Bamberg, S. c., appearing In "Ine
state' newspaper on Jan. %, 1913
contains the paragraph quoted below
relative to a car of coal received Dy
the town of Bamberg: "The car was
diverted here by State Fuel Aminls-
traitor B. B. Gossett, who had prevl-
ously given permission to do so to
J. A. Wyman, Bamberg county chair
man Of the fuel administration, but
Mr.. Wyman did not care to exercise
that authority and consequently Mr..
Gossett himself came to the relief OF
Bamberg, which is greatly appreciat-
ed here"
This seems to be an attempt to
create the impression that as chair
man of the fuel committee for Banl-
berg county I have refused and neg
legted to provide coal for our citi-
zens when it lay within my power to
do so, and for that reason l wish to
make the following statement:
have authority to divert only
such cars of coal as may be within
the county. There has been no car
within the county to divert. Mr..
Gossett has authority to divert coal
from any point within. the State to
any other point within the State, and
he is the only one clothed with this
authority. Mr.. Gossett therefore at
my request promised to divert a car
of coal to Bamberg. [ made this
request on Jan. 18th at Anderson, 5.
c., personally to Mr.. Gossett, who at
that time stated that he would not
divert a car of coal to us until other
cities more in need had been sup
Piled, as he felt that there was no
actual suffering among our citizens.
! Certainly our situation was not as
serious as in other cities. He stated
that as soon as possible he would
send us a car of coal. I did not ex-
pect a car for some time, but the re-
cent order curtailing industrial &C
tivities evidently gave Mr.. Gossett
an opportunity to supply other needy
cities and Bamberg also at an caller
date than had been anticipated.
Therefore in accordance with my re-
! quest the coal was diverted to Bam-
| berg.
I do not want the citizens of my
county to think that l have been un-
mindful of their interests or that l
have failed to do my duty as saw it.
| I have given my time, without COM
pensation, gladly and willingly when
called upon by the government, first
as chairman of the fuel committee,
and then as chairman of the legal
advisory board, and in pursuance OF
| the duties devolving upon me 1 have
| given the major portion of my time
since December 1st, last, to public
affairs, and only last week / went in
person to see Mr.. Gossett relative
to coal for our county needs. 1t was
on account of my efforts that the car
of coal was sent to the town of Bam-
berg, and 1 have been assured by
Mr.. Gossett that the citizens of Den
mark, the industries of Bamberg and
Denmark, and the Carlisle school, as
we'll as the town of Bamberg would
have coal as soon as possible.
Mr.. Gossett informed me of the
diversion of this car of coal for Bam-
berg, and 1 arranged with the town
authorities for it's distribution. I am
very happy to think that my efforts
relieved to some extent the domestic
needs for fuel of our citizens.
