Vi putLlng every violator of the law
behind the bars and keeping him
there.
The good effects of what has been
done are already apparent in this
State. The number of men in South
Carolina accused of crime last year
was more than a thousand less than
in the preceding year, and the number
of convictions was less by just as
many. These figures tell the tale.
Could we get rid of negro barbecues
and hot suppers, crime in this section
would soon be ap unknown quantity.
There is one other place, however,
where the law must strike. The sale
Of extracts containing alcohol, and
which are used as beverages must be
looked after. We do not know just
what is necessary to stamp out this
evil, but some restrictions must be
put on hebdrug stores, grocery stores
and other places where these extracts
are sold, to the end that they cannot
be bought for beverage purposes.
If necessary the sale must be prohi-
bited. The same is true of all kinds
of patent medicines which are used
for beverages. The use of these SUBJ
stitutes is worse than the use of good
liquor. They not only render men
dangerous to society, but they are
killing those who drink. them.
The ranks must be closed up. No
guilty man must be allowed to escape.
Prohibition prohibits. That is why
it -s fought by the 'i!'orites.

MEN LANDED
AT NEWPORT NEWS
Hundreds of Boys Shout Joy at Be-
ing Home Again.

Newport News, Va.,. Jan. IL
Hundreds of soldiers came limping
down the gang planks of the United
States transport Madawaska, Friday
shouting their joy at being home
again. The vessel docked last night
nearly all her passengers being
wounded. Brigadier General Walter
A. Harris of Macon, Ga, in command
of the 147th, infantry brigade of
the S7th, division, and his aides,
:I.ieutenants Samuel W. M. Halle,
and Robert E. Ingman, both of Sa-
vannah, were among the arrivals.
The Madawaska which sailed from
France December 18th, brought six
casual companies of $50 men each
about 1900 sick and wounded, about
$50 officers; twenty men of the
headquarters of the 174th brigade.
Many of the officers and men had
won decorations or citations and
nearly every man aboard had been
wounded or gassed. The youngest
soldier aboard was said to be fifteen
years old and the oldest IS.
Lieutenant Hale and Ingman both
described the voyage from France as
delightful and said the weather was
balmy and nearly everybody "lived
on deck' during the trip. -.
Brigadier General Harris trained
the 61st, infantry brigade of the 31st
division, the old Georgia National
Guard, at Camp Wheeler, Macon,
Ga. On arrival in France the divis-
ion was drawn on regularly for re-
placements. Many Georgia national
guardsmen were formed into the
151st machine gun battalion, General
Harris said, and that organization
fought through some bloody battles
with the rainbow division. General
Harris was later transferred to the
87th, division commanded by Briga-
dier General W. F. Martin, and plac-
ed in command of the 147th infantry
brigade.
The Madawaska's troops marched
to Camps Stuart and Hill. The cas-
ual will be reorganized and sent to
Camps near their homes. The head
quarters of the 174th, brigade will
go to Camp Dix, N. J.

WashiLg Lgton. Jan. 13.-"Bone dry
means "bone dry" the supreme court
ruled today.
The Reed law prohibiting inter-
state transportation of liquor refers

Dissenting Justice McReynolds said
the amendment as construed by the

The amendment if onstictutional

pointed out that the Webb.Kenyon

STOPPING LYNcHING.

We are in full accord with the
views of the Yorkviile Enquirer in
suggesting that if the state authori.
= :SS.-re not able to curb the lynching
I evil, the Federal authorizes must
step in and put an end to it.
There are some crimes which are
peculiarly revolving to people of the
South. Some of these crimes make
men run mad, and they feel at times
that they are justified, or at least ex-
cusable, in melting out swift pun
ishment to the guilty. But expert
ence has shown that punishment for
crime by the lynching process can
not be confined to, one or two crimes.
The mob spirit which lynching en-
genders spreads, and in little while
men are likely to be lynched for al
most any crime. AS it grows men
may be lynched for crimes which
they have not committed.
The good Of society, as well as the
protection of the innocent, demands
that men be tried, convicted and
punished for all crimes by the order
" procedure Of the courts. No set
IT men can safely be allowed to take
iie law into their own hands for the
punishment Of any crime, however
heinous and revsltfng.
Those people who see in lynch
ings a great evil, and who are de-
rer,n..,et led to see it wiped out, are
not seriously coneefnsa about who,

EASY TO GET in JAIL

Intoxicating liquors in interstate

ask Judge Rose of Baltimore, to
make the fines hereafter six months
instead of four in the Monumental
City jail. ..l
For some time Mr.. Stevenson and
other well known public men have

friends to have their terms Of i'm
