MAKING OUR OWN RED TAPE
(Chester News.)

'" There are times when unconscious
! " we wind ourselves up in q mass
red tape of our own making and be-
come victims of our own lack OF
common sense. Some Of US are so
intent upon running our business
affairs in a cut and dried way that
; we make the effort to run QUE pure
~ personal lives in much the same
fashion, and because the rules of
business do not always apply to the
conduct of personal matters we of
ten only succeed in crushing out all
our, individuality. While methodical
ways are essential in large measure
to success, yet at tne same time it is
vital that we should allow ourselves
some natural scope both in our\ man
ner of working and in the work it
self. If we tie ourselves down to
following one groove day in and
day out we shall find that we are
not progressing, but merely revolv-
ing in the same track. The wise
man knows when to change from the
hedged-in principles of system
which he finds take him only q GER
tain distance to one that permits
him more freedom of effort and con-
sequently more opportunity of first
hand experience along lines that
have hitherto been closed book to
him. We cannot make very much
progress if we hold ourselves down
to following only certain cut meth
DDS day after day; all methods that
are. not pliable in their very nature
soon becom8cdrawbacks to us once
we have reached their limits. Meth !
DDS can be adapted to suit the needs !
Of the changing conditions in which |
we work, and the man who expects
to. apply the methods Of ten or fif-
teen years ago to the solution of to-.
days problems certainly is not keep
ing abreast of the times.
Some times we work almost un-
consciously by old methods because
we are accustomed to them for one
thing and because they have suited
our purposes heretofore. we Under
take a task peculiarly of the pres
ent, for example, and because we
try to accomplish it by methods of
yesterday we do not succeed. If we
could cut" loose from the old ways
on such occasions and catch up with
the methods of today we would be
surprised to see how simple the work
would be. Some times we get into
the habit of working in certain
way and nothing can pull US out of
the rut short of some great uphea-
val of conditions or similar emergen-
cy. We learn then quick enough be-
cause we have to. A power greater
than any we anticipate sometimes
ships the red tape about US and frees
us to work in common sense way.
Why is it not possible, for US to do
our own shipping on occasion and
in this way give ourselves the oppor-
tunity Of reaching our goal by a

ENFORCE THE LAW.

making intoxicating liquors is multi
plying. For awhile there was little of
it being made in this county, or if so,
it was not generally known. Now the
officers count it: a poor day for them
if they do not destroy two or three
iquor-making outfits in this county
each day. ,.>:
Everybody who gave the matter
any, thought expected that when IL
quor could no. longer be; bought le-
gally this very thing would happen.
And the law has made provision for
taking care Of this situation. But it
cannot be taken care of unless the
Judges of the state and federal courts
administer the laws in such way as
to give punishment to :violators of the
law according to their guilt. =.
And looking to this, we are in
thorough accord with the views of
Rev. D. W. Hiott, as expressed in a
letter written by him sometime ago
to the Pickens Sentinel, and later
copied by this paper. Rev. Mr.. Hiott
takes the position that chain gang
sentences will break up the liquor
making business, and that fines will
never do so, because as he correctly
states, if a man is fined one or two
or even five hundred dollars for man.
ufacturing liquor, he can make the
money back, at present prices, in a
few days, and a fine is therefore no
deterrent to him.
We do not say that in all cases of
violations of the liquor laws man
should be sent to the chain gang for
the first offense. Under the law a
man who has a half pint of white
lightning in his possession for no
other purpose than to drink it is
guilty of "a violation of the law. It
would be too drastic to send. such per-
son!to the chain gang, especially with
out warning him by fine that he
is breaking the law, A man who
habitually stores this liquor should be
more severely dealt with. Bit the
man who really deserves fhe chain
gang sentence is the man who. is
manufacturing this mean liquor.
There is not one of them who should
escape by a fine. They are deliberate
ly violating the law for profit, and
are causing other people to violate
the law. They are keeping the evil
effects Of Incorporate drinking,
which the people have sought to ban,
as an ever present evil in the COM
munity. They deserve the limit of the
law. No fine which may be imposed
on them is deterrent, for the rea-
son stated by Mr.. Hiott. Nothing but
the rock pile, or the work. on the
roads, or prison sentence will stop
them.
Of course there will be degrees of
guilt and of wrong-doing even among
manufacturers. This should always be |
considered, And every man charged !
with crime is entitled to be heard inl
his defense. We do not need to get
hysteria about the matter, 1t is a
plain business proposition for the
courts. Those charged with crime of
this or any other nature should be
first tried. When tried, if found
guilty, they should receive punish
ment which is swift, certain and Sc,
we're enough to accomplish the .re-t
suits desired. So far as Abbeville
county is concerned law-breakers
should be warned by the courts that
this is no place for them.
