THAT
is APPRECIATED

The Star has been given good rea-
son to believe from what it has been
told in the last week or so that its at
tacks on the moonshine traffic have
been appreciated by the better ele-
ment among our men and women. 1t
also has hopes that it has Jared some
of the traffickers into something of an
understanding of the crime they are
committing against themselves and
their fellow-citizens.
We are grateful for the apprecia-
ton, and desire to impress on our
readers that the greatest token of ap-
probation that they can give Us is to
keep together and wage unremitting
warfare against the evil. If they do
net do so. it will ruin many people,
some of them entirely innocent of any
completely or approval of illicit dis
tilling. They should do all in their
power to expose and help prosecute
those engaged in the pernicious traf-
fc They should do what they can to
rebuke and if possible redeem, the
/ foolish people who drink the vile stuff.
AS for those who make or sell
moonshine, it is possible that some of
they are not fully awake to the harm
they are doing. If public sentiment
continues aroused against them, they
cannot long remain oblivious to their
delinquency. Then. if they quit, they
may in time win forgiveness Of God
and man, but if they continue in their
illdoing they may be certain that
| Nemesis will oyertake them. Come
soon or come late, the iron hand OF
the law will shut down on them some
day-unless they die first.
We regret to say that few moon
sinners can plead ignorance to their
guilt. Some of them were prohibi-
tionists and are church members, and
in either case they are the most Shiny
and scaly of hypocrites. They cannot
plead ignorance of either law or NOR.
atty. They are mean enough to think
they can sell slices off their souls fol-
the dirtiest of money and yet retain
enough to keep out of hell with. They
have no more conscience than pole
cat in henhouse.

with a fierce criticism on the indus
trial school at Mariana, based on a
report of Superintendent McClane.
Hasn't the Tribune picked up a re-
port of the superintendent written
about year ago? The last report we
had from the school was that it was
much improved.

BUSINESS PROSPECTS IN 1920

Charles NJ. Schwab, chairman of the
board of directors of the Bethlehem
Steel Company, says:
ct is true that the unrest Is great
and more important than the unrest,
is the spreading notion that a man can
go ahead by doing less instead of doing
more. The world never had place for
lazy man. | am firmly CON
vinced that the way of the worker in
America will be better than ever be-
fore, but that cannot happen. without
the will to work"
There is more business than any
man can visualize; there is plenty of
work ahead for every hand and brain
and say this with full regard for
the fact that unless some adjustments
are made for credit we shall shortly be
unable to sell to Europe. | think those
adjustments can be made"
Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor, also
says:
America will prosper this year il
Americans do the work that waits to
be done And -r~-hy shouldn't Ameri-
cans do their work? Will they let a
few reactionaries among the leaders OF
business stop them by denying justice
and imposing autocracy? Will they let
self-appointed radical leaders, disciples
of the bolshevists, stop them?
Americans are no fools. They will
resist and resent tyranny or injustice.
They will let no autocrats pick their
pockets, whether those autocrats wear
silk hats or red neckties."

Rev. Carl W. Minor, of the First Bap-
list church, the Rev Silas Johnson,
of the Lee Street Methodist church,

How To Promote Our City" was
the topic of Dr. Carl w. Minors SER
mon at the First Baptist church, he
using as his texts Proverbs I4:34 and
Matt. 6.33. He prefaced his talk with
a complete and thorough endorsement
of the Chamber of Commerce expan-
SION campaign, recommending it's
hearty support by his congregation.
The substance of his sermon fol-
lows:
The history of cities is the his
tory of the world. The word citv oc-
ours in the bible 262 times. If all
reference to Babylon, Nineveh, Tyre,
Sidon, Rome, Athens, Corinth, Ephe-
sus and Jerusalem should be elimi-
mated, the bible would be reduced in
size nearly one-half.
Cities are truly the "nerve and
storm centers of the world Every
city is a great heart throbbing with
life and sending out good or bad blood
! through every artery of activity.
Americus then, the heart of Sumter
county, is throbbing and sending out
blood or influence that is either bless
ing or blighting every citizen of the
county. Our city is to be the saliva
ton or damnation of our county. How
tremendously important then that our
foundation should be the true one.

ut is the essence of democracy that
progress of the mass must rise from
progress of the Individual. 1t is the
only road to higher civilization. It's
conception of the state is one that,
representative of all the citizens, will
in the region of economic activities
limit itself in the main to the preven-
ton of economic domination of the
few over the many. We have no
frozen class distinctions. We have
developed a far better distribution of
necessity of comforts and wealth than
any other place in the world We
have a willingness to abide by the
will of the majority, a sense of neigh
borly obligation and higher sense
of justice, of self-sacrifice and of
public conscience, and out of these we
have certainty of ultimate solutions.
"The assumption of class distinc-
tions between labor, capital and the
public is a foolish creation of false
class consciousness and is building for
us the very same kind of foundations
upon which Europe rocks today.
When all is said and done, labor,
whether with hand or mind, is the
only excuse for membership in the
community. Capital is nothing but
the savings of the nation, represent
ed by tools of production and service,
whether it be land, factories, homes,
railways, or schools; its managers are
laborers themselves and must be
sifted out by competition in accord
with their intelligence, skill and char
acter. Capital is not money, for
money is nothing but the token by
which we barter goods and services.
There is no quarrel with capital itselfS
the quarrel is over the distribution of
its ownership and the profits that
arise from it.
