That is what the State predicted in
1915, what any one might have fore

What are the country people GO

whiskey will have entirely ceased.

PROFIT ON THE WAR TAX.

that the dispensers are making a

know any other good reason for the
additional advance. although il is
explained that the ingredients are
costing more now than formerly.

Lancaster has some mighty good

any more TO serve them. If rents

PROHIBITION IN RURAL COM
MUNITIES.


The State bemoans the fact that
"last week Illicit d.stilleries were
destroyed in at least half a dozen
counties of South Carolina, to which
moOnshining was practically un-
known five years ago" The State
says: "In numerous county neigh
borhoods, men OF the baser sort. sue

verting a bushel of corn into whis-
key that will sell for $40 or SIS Il
gallon. are breaking the law and the
prospect is that. unless vigilant and
severe measures be taken. their
numbers will immensely multiply
If moonshining should become so
common that people could not cope
with it. reaction against prohibition
would follow and many of these
same pious and God-fearing men
and women in the country would. in
despair, turn against it. Unlike
the people in the towns. they have
never had to grapple with the ques-
tion. When the towns had saloons.
dispensaries or blind togers' the
-countrysides suffered relatively
small annoyance from the evil The
towns had to carry the burden and
the shame of it and the country peo-
pie were not liberal in their sym.
pathy."
Perhaps the State is right We
don't know. But it occurs to us that
the liquor is being made in the
country districts. has always been
made in the country districts and
will always be made in the country
districts. for the very good reason
that there is no other place where il
can be made with any degree of
light now and then where some
over-thirsty Cityite is found making
it on the Kitchen stove, but Illicit
distIling in any appreciable quaint
ty is akin TO the back country. as far
from civilization as it is possible to
get; up branch, generally, through
briar thickets and woods. At least.
this is the impression we have gain
ed of what is generally termed
blockade stills" 1t is possible that
a lot OF liquor may be distilled in
the towns and cities. but il is a
known fact that everybody's busi-
ness is everybody else's business in
a small town and ii would be a dan
gerous undertaking to begin the
making of liquor in town say. the
size of Lancaster. In the city. like
wise. there is stricter enforcement
or police laws, and II would perhaps
be an Improbable business in Co
lumbia. The country districts, how
ever. as a people are no more apt to
turn against prohibition through re-
action in the enforcement or non
enforcement OF the law than are the
city people.
The policing Of the country
townships" says the State, "is
small. Thirty thousand square
miles in South Carolina can not
easily be patrolled. One can name
half a dozen counties in which two
dozen distlleries have been broken
up in the last two weeks. which
probably means that many more
have not been discovered and are in
operation.
