A DANGEROUS Situation.

The story of that meeting Of the
Broad River Improvement association
at Hickory Grove, last Friday, as pub
lished elsewhere in today's Enquirer,
shows not only that there is quite an
alarming state of affairs in Broad RiV-
er township; but that the good people
over that way are being aroused to the
situation.
When it comes to the question OF the
right or wrong of liquor drinking,
there may be two sides. There are
great many people who insist that
there are two sides. In our opinion
there is but one side. No man can
drink intoxicating liquors without
harm to himself, harm to those with
whom he is in close and intimate asso-
citation and harm to society. But that
is not the question here. The question
here is the supremacy of the law OF
the land, the only guarantee that any
of us, whether weak or strong, have in
the enjoyment Of life and liberty and
the pursuit Of happiness
Because of its strong appeal to the
physical appetite Intoxicating liquor is
held in more or less esteem by most OF
us. We want it because Of the sxhilsr-
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1919-07-01

Under the prohibition amendment to
the constitution Of the United States,
the manufacture and sale Of intoxicat-
ing liquors Of all kinds is prohibited
throughout the United States after
January 16, 1920. Under an act Of No
vember 81, 1918, the sale Of intoxicat-
ing liquors was prohibited after July /,
1919, until the president by proclama-
ton should declare the demobilization
Of the armies completed. On the goth
Of May, 1919, the president asked con-
gress to repeal so much of the act of
November 81 as applied to wine and
beer. Congress has so far declined.
The whisky people have been in hopes
that previous to July / the president
would declare that rehabilitation is
completed; but July finds still in the
service a full million men who were
enlisted for the war and the president
is unable to see that ;e can issue a
proclamation that wo' I'd relieve the
situation under the law 1t is possible
that congress may yet Ike action that
will open the f1oodgate. Of liquor until
next January 16; but Il at is not prob
able. In the meantime there is abso-
lutely no such thing as the lawful sale
of liquor for any purpose within the
limits Of the United States.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1919-07-01

alton and excitement it produces, and
there are times when almost any Of us
will 20 to great lengths to get It. That
is the plain truth and there Is no use
in trying to deny the truth. But all
reasonable men who hav tried intoxi-
eating liquor, as we'll as those who
have not tried 1t, know by experience
and observation that the use Of intoxi-
eating liquors is harmful to them as
we'll as others, and for that reason the
stuff has been put under the ban OF
the law, not only Of this great state;
but of this mightiest Of all the nations.
Ordinarily the appetite for intoxicat-
ing liquors knows no law, and 1t will
stop at nothing-not even MURDER 10
satisfy its hellish craving. This Is not
theory, It is fact, and because OF this
fact we have one Of the greatest prob
lens known to our law. The greater
the scarcity Of liquor the higher the
nrice and the more uncomfortable the
cupidity Of those who see In liquor
making the road to easy money.
It is clear to the intelligent people OF
Broad River township that If they al
low the Illicit liquor makers full swing
their fair country which has made
such splendid progress during the past
two or three generations will degener-
ate into a bowling wilderness OF par
barism in which decent people can no
longer make their homes, and 1t is De-
cause of this that they are becoming
aroused.
While the problem in Broad River Is
first a problem FOR the intelligence
and decency of that community their
neighbors to the north and south ana
east and west cannot remain indiffer-
ent. If the degenerate and abandoned
in Broad River shall win the people
who aspire to better and higher things
than mere indulgence in low physical
appetites, then the fight will be as
strongly up to surrounding neighbors
as it is now up to the people of Broad
River and the end will be difficult to
forooao

All OF THEM BAGGED

Clarence Jones, Vernon Jonnsoh'
Vance London and Alex Feemster are
the four negroes who were at the ILL
cit still that was raided by Magistrate
Smith and party at Leech's Mountain
during the rainsrorm last Friday af-
ternoon.
All four of the negroes were taken
over by Sheriff Quinn on warrants Is
sued by Magistrate Smith. Jones,
Johnson and London are In jail ana
Feemster is at liberty on bond.
1t turns out that Vance LONDON Is
pretty badly sprinkled with small snot
'.in the hind Leg" as the sherin puts
#. hut he is not seriously hurt.
When the officers raided the still the
negroes ran away; but Clarence Jones
turned and fired pistol back at the
posse. The posse replied with fu-
silade and that was where London got
his. Some say that it was Magistrate
Smith who shot him; but that does
not matter. .ou
All four of the negroes got away for
the time being and they managed 10
take London up to Shelby N. G.,
where he lives and where he was ar
rested.
Clarence Jones admits having start
ed the shooting but claims that 1t was
accidental, his pistol having been dls-
charged as he fell over an obstruction;
but the officers have 1t straight that
he turned deliberately and fired.
Jones, Johnson and Feemster, no
doubt under the advice Of white men
or others who understand the legal
status of the situation are telling that
it was London who was operating the
still while they were present only as
visitors and possible patrons. This Is
on the assumption that the small! shot
in London's "hind leg" have made his
case hopeless, and since he Will nave
to take legal punishment anyway the
others might as well go free.
But it appears that London Is not
exactly in that frame of mind. II ne
sticks to present intentions when ne
goes on the stand he will tell the
whole truth about the affair-truth
that will not only involve the other the
three but several others including
some whites who are now only sus-
pected

That is we'll deserved tribute that
John R. Hart, Esq, paid to Magistrate
R. L. A. Smith last Friday afternoon
and The Enquirer is in full concur
renee. 1t is hardly up to the masis-
trate to do the work of constable in
addition to the work of judge, GER
tainiy not at the pay; but Mr.. Smith
takes the responsibility Of. his position
quite seriously. Under circumstan-
ces where it seems that raid can be
made more effective by his presence
he does not hesitate to go himself. The
old gentleman might have his limita =
tions as to technical knowledge Of the
law as practiced by some Of the law
yers, bat there is certainly no dis
count on his common sense, physical
or moral courage, or ability to arrive
at substantial justice. He enforces the
laws without fear or favor, and never
fails to command the fullest support
of the law abiding people Of his baili-
wick

FOR HUMAN LIBERTY
President Wilson So Designates tho
Peace Treaty,


The following address by President
Wilson to the American people on the
occasion of the signing of the Peace
Treaty was given out SATURDAY py
Secretary Tumulty:
"My fellow countrymen: The treaty
of peace has been signed. If 1t Is rat
flied and acted upon in full and sincere
execution Of it's terms 1t will furnish
the charter for a new order of affairs
in the world. 1t is a severe treaty in
the duties and penalties 1t imposes
upon Germany; but it is severe only
because great wrongs done by Ger
many are TO be righted and repaired;
it imposes nothing that Germany can
not do; and she can regain her right
full standing in the world by the prompt
and honorable fulfillment Of its terms
"And it is much more than a treaty
OF peace with Germany. 1t liberates
great peoples who have never before
been able to find the way to liberty
It ends, once for all, an old and in
tolerable order under which small
groups of selfish men could use the
peoples of great empires to serve their
ambition for power and dominion. 1t
associates the free governments of the
world in a permanent league in which
they are pledged to use their united
power to maintain peace by maintaining
right and justice.
1T makes international law reality
supported by imperative sanctions. 1t
does away with the right Of conquest
and rejects the policy Of annexation
and substitutes q new order under
which backward nations-population
which have not yet come to political
consciousness and peoples who are
ready for independence but not yet
quite prepared to dispense with protec-
tion and guidance-shall no more be
subjected to the domination and exploit
alton of strange nation, but shall be
put under the friendly direction and
afforded the helpful assistance of gov
ernments which undertake to be res
ponsible to the opinion of mankind in
the execution of their TASK by accept
ing the direction OF the league Of ma
tionS.
1T recognizes the inalienable rights
of nationality, the rights of minorities
and the sanctity of religious belief and
practice. 1t lays the basis for con-
ventions which shall free the COM
mercial Intercourse Of the world from
unjust and veXatious restrictions and
for every sort Of international COOP
Grafton that Will serve to cleanse the
life Of the world and facilitate it's COM
mon action in beneficent service of
every kind. 1t furnishes guara = tees
such as were never given OF even con-
templated for the fair treatment OF all
who labor at the daily tasks of the
world.
1T is for this reason that l have
spoken OF 1t as great charter for
new order of affairs. There is ground
he:e for deep satisfaction, universal
reinsurance, and confident hope"
