Prohibition and Proprietaries

"Patent medicines, which their
own makers more properly term
"proprietaries," since practically
none of them are patented or patent
able, have often been mentioned in
connection with the fight for prohibi-
ton. It has been charged that many
of them were used more freely as
beverages than as medicines, and it
even has been said of late that some
so framed as to favor this use.
Against these statements the makers
of "proprietaries" have always pro-
tested. Mr. E. T. Kemp, representing
"The Proprietary Association" with
headquarters at Chicago, and editor
of Standard Remedies, asserts that
only about one so-called "patent
medicine" in four contains alcohol
at all, and if any of those which do
contain alcohol are eft for beverage
purposes" they become, automatical-
ly, Intoxicating liquors under the
definition of the Prohibition En-
forcement Act, and their manufac-
ture and sale are prohibited. AS the
prohibition law is to be enforced by
the Revenue Department, by whom
permits for the use of non-beverage
alcohol are granted, the probability
of the misuse of medicines as SUBJ
stitute for alcoholic liquors is very
remote, Mr.. Kemp thinks, and likely
to be followed by the Immediate 1e-
vocation of permits. The Proprie-
tary Association, representing about
80 per cent of the output of so-called
! "patent medicines" in the United
States is on record, he says, as in ac-
cord with the strictest enforcement
of the prohibition enforcement law
and it's attitude on that subject has
been communicated to the Prohibi.
tion Commissioner Mr. Kemp writes
further:
"No prohibition law, State OF
national, has been written by, for, or
the interests of the manufacturers OF
"patent medicines" Any statement
to the contrary is false and ridicu
lous. 1t is we'll known that the nro
hibition enforcement bills have beer
written by the Anti-Saloon League

CONCERNING ROADS

Greenville, S. c., Feb. z, 1920.
Mr.. William P. Greene,
Abbeville, S. G..
Dear Sir:
Replying to your favor of the 9th
instant, would say, the top-sol roads
in Greenville county have on whole,
in my judgment, been eminently sat-
isfactory, provided they are scraped
when required, certainly every two
months, and the top-soil replaced
where it has disappeared. The OBJ
lection to top-soil roads is the lack OF
top-soil within a reasonable distance
of the roads that can be used for re-
placement, as the immediate supply
is soon exhausted; and requirements
are absolutely necessary. This is the
difficulty and danger I see ahead as
to the maintenance of our top-soil
roads. .,.
The greatest enemy to the top-soll
roads is the cut-out on automobiles,
trucks and particularly autocycles.
These cut-outs are low down to the
ground, and act as a high powered
fan in blowing the top-soil away from
the road bed and creating a great
cloud of dust, which finds Judgement
in adjoining fields.
The ordinary use of automobile We
hicles would not be so injurious but
on our country roads ! find that
trucks and autocycles almost habitu'
ally are running with their cut-ou'
wide open.
Any permanent road improvement
will de.eriorate, and needs constant
repairs, as we have found in Green
Vile County with the use of macad
am covered with tarvia, even whe1
built on a concrete foundation.
Good roads are like Liberty, AM
need constant vigilance to insur.
their usefulness and efficiency.
Yours truly,
Ellison A. Smyth.
