ACT HELD
VALID IN DECISION

vuIIO lN OGVSVlSa'l
Constitutional prohibition upheld byI
the Supreme Court of the United States today.
1t further declared constitutional the VOL
stead enforcement act, limiting the percentage
of alcohol to one-half of one per cent.
A dissenting opinion was read by Justice
McKenna.
The rigid enforcement of prohibition meas
ures passed by Congress, regardless of State ref
erendums, is upheld. The decision nullifles i'm
mediately State laws permitting sales OF high
content alcoholic beverages upon the formal
declaration of peace, such as have been enacted
i'm Rhode Island, New Jersey, and Wisconsin,.
The decision represents victory for the
Government and the prohibition forces in all
courts.

The mind of a man who is out of

suggestion that he take his own life.

The difference in the number of ne
groes and whites who committed sui

shows that only four negroes took
their lives, while there were 1877 white
suicides. This is a perfect reflection of
the negro temperament, which can be

The suicide statistics in regard to

speculation. Sixty-four women took

A DISTINGUISHED VISITOR
Newberry Herald and News.

Newberry Herald and News.
Newberry is the home of judges
and so far .as we can recall has the
honor of holding membership on the
supreme bench of South Carolina
longer than any other county in the
State, and certainly holding the posi-
ton of chief justice. And even now
the chief justice is a descendant of
good Newberry people. His forbears
were natives of this county and not
50 very long ago since they moved
over to Abbeville.
Chief Justice Eugene B. Gary of
Abbeville ran up from Columbia on
Friday afternoon to spend the week
end in Newberry with his daughter,
Mrs. DR.. Thomas H. Pope, and we
were very glad to see him and to see
him looking so we'll and so young. He
comes of distinguished family and
is himself a very learned judge and
writer on Jurisprudence and has been
on the supreme bench in South Caro-
lima for 80 years. His other two
brothers were on the circuit bench,
Judge Ernest Gary dying only few
years ago and Judge Frank B. Gary
is now one of the best judges on the
circuit, and by the way is holding
court in Newberry this week.

The above editorial from the In

there might be added further at

A boy went to a store with S5.75

A SOUND PLANK

The country is being agitated just
now by all kinds Of people VINO DO
not want to work. Trouble is threat
ening everywhere, and everywhere
there is unrest. President Wilson
says that it is all because we have
not adopted tFhe Hope of the World
and on that account ''the heart of
The world" is about to be broken.
mankind everywhere" anG others
are crying for the League Of Ma
tions. Some people think that the la
Dor unions are responsible for the
unrest, while the labor unions think
it is other people. Undesirable citi-
zens are being run out of the coun'
try and anarchists are being ar
rested and tried because, IN some
quarters, the trouble is all being laid
at their doors.
D." Just what is causing all the trou-
BILE is a matter for argument and each
person will have his own opinion.
Vice President Marshall has adve 'c-
ed a new idea on the subject, and
upon mature reflection we are in
clined to think he is right. He says
the trouble with the country is that
we are in need of "a good five cent
cigar"
There can be no doubt that cigar
of this quality and at this price
would tend to reduce the high cost
of living, unless perhaps some of the
reckless spenders might try to smoke
two at once after having paid fifteen
cents and a quarter for smoke all
these months. For the man with an
eve to economy, however, the five
center would go a long ways TO make
the world happy again. With the
coming of the good old summer time.
and the shade of the, big oaks, and
rlenty of candidates to talk to, there
is no reason why all OF US should
not take rest and get back to the
hood old days Of before tie war
There is nothing on hot. summer
day which tends to contentment
more than for the plow-nand 70 hnd
q politician at the end OF 6: row just
where the big persimmon tree STANDS
especially if he has cigar to give
YOU to smoke while he tells you OF
the ills of the country. Then, too the
\ LAWYERS about the court house towns
could enjoy sitting on the benches
and in the parked automobiles a
great deal more if it were not so ex-
pensive to make a cloud of smoke
like a smoke-stack. And as for the
politicians it would be cheaper too'
because the H. C. L. will tell on them
if they are forced to "set 'em up
on hi gh priced Havanas.
We are not trying to persuade any,
one to abandon his favorlte remedy
for the country's ills, but only to en-
dorse the new plank in the platform
of the Vice President. Unless it Is
speedily adopted and put into opera
ton the matter should be referred 70
the League of Nations.
