A Worthy Testimony.

At the recent meeting of the Amer
lean Bar Association there was a
committee who reported on the fed
eral prohibition law. The chairman
of the committee was our own judge
Chas. A. Wood, of South Carolina
We give the following excerpt from
the report that was carried in the
daily papers: "When for the graf
~ification of their appetites, lawyers
bankers, merchants and manufactu'
rers, and social leaders, both men
and women scott at this law, or any
other law, they are aiding the cause
of anarchy and promoting mob-vio'
lence, robbery and homicide.
"They are sowing dragons teeth
and they need not be surprised when
they find that no judicial or police
authority can save our country OF
humanity from reaping the harvest"
We do not believe that anything
that has been said in recent months
has gone straighter to the mark
than this declaration of Judge Wood
He mentions "lawyers, bankers,
merchants, manufacturers and so,
cial leaders" as among those who
sometimes scott at this law and by
doing so aid "the cause of anarchy
and promote mob-violence, robbery
and homicide" He could also have
mentioned some newspapers. 1t is
a lamentable fact that some of the
greatest newspapers in this country
have never lost an opportunity to
do what they could to bring the pro-
hibition law into contempt. The fact
that this law is now in the Nation
al constitution has not held them in
check. They have published only the
news that seems to indicate that the
law could not be enforced, and they
have been gleeful over every pros,
pect of weakening the law and max
ing it more difficult of enforcement.
The bill, the Stanley amendment,
that is now before the United States
Senate, which would make the eigh,
teenth Amendment a farce, is re.
ceiving the most cordial support OF
a number of our very greatest pa
pers.--Baptist Courier.

The "Wonder State"

In the Hollomon dispatch from
South Carolina today the Constitu-
tons correspondent calls that the
"Wonder State" for the reason that
she depends almost entirely upon a
property tax for revenue; takes in,
all told, only about $6,o0o,O00 a
year; and yet it is a matter of Off
cial record that the state is actually
leading the south in school support,
in proportion to her per capita
wealth, and white population.
South Carolina has a population
of only 100000, or more than a
million less than Georgia. She has
no private property. She is in debt,
borrowing each year to pay her OBJ
legations, but she "pays" as she goes,
absolutely; and furnishes support to
her great agricultural college at
Clemson of AROUND 100000 a year;
to her industrial normal $400,0 900;
to her university S250,000 and to her
military college around $500,000.
She leaves the responsibility of
common school maintenance to the
counties but appropdiates $1,000
900 a year to encourage consolida-
lions, long terms, attendance, eff
fciency, etc, through various state aid
bonuses.
South Carolina, like Georgia, is
looking around for a more modern
and adequate revenue system; but
ISouthN Carolina, unlike Georgia, is
not letting any of her institutions,
educational or humane, suffer in the
meantime. She appropriated, to il.
lustrate, in 1921, s784,000 to her
state hospital.
Indeed, it is a wonder Stated
She never has a deficit" If she
needs money she borrows it. She
makes a business proposition out OF
it.-Atlanta Constitution.

Furman For the Session of
1921-1922.
By President w. J. McGlothlin.

1921-1922.
By President ". J. MeGlothlin.
The next session at Furman I'm
iversity opens on September 18th.
Former students should reach the
grounds on the afternoon of Tues
day, September 18th, for enrolment
and classification the next day:
Freshmen should reach the grounds
on the IA for enrolment and class
examination will be held on the 18th
and 18th; also examination for the
removal of conditions of last ses-
sion.
The indications are that w shall
have an excellent session. The finan-
cial depression has undoubtedly re-
duced attendance from the figures
which we would otherwise have
reached. Many young men who had
planned. to enter Furman this fall
will not be able to do so, simply be-
cause they have not been able to
earn sufficient money to meet their
expenses, and for the further reason
that it is more difficult than usual
to get jobs for them on the campus
and in Greenville. Still, I believe
every young man who has a strong
will, can make his way at Furman,
with the assistance we can get for
him in the way of work.
Here, at the opening of the ses-
sion, I would like to make a final
appeal to the Baptist young men
of South Carolina, and to their par
ents. An opportunity for an educa-
ton comes but once in life. Repen-
lance for failure to secure an edu-
cation at that time will begin by
the time a young man reaches 20,
and will continue through life. AT
that age the one opportunity has
passed. A college education is SIM
ply indispensable to the very high
est usefulness and happiness of most
men who have some ability and am
bition. Young men can afford to
Sacrifice for an education as for
little else in life. Parents can render
unto their children no greater ser
vice with their money than by put
ting it into a genuine, Christian ed
ucation. Left in stocks, bonds, lands,
and other forms of wealth, it may
be dissipated, or become a bone OF
contentibn and division among al
family of children when the parents
depart. Put into a Christian educa-
ton, it can do nothing else than bless
the boy through life. 1 appeal to the
conscience of the Baptist parents
of South Carolina in confirmation:
of this statement.
Why not send your boy to Fur
man? He ought to be educated, and
1 confidently claim that there is no
better institution in South Carolina,
or neighboring state, for the educa-
ton of your boy, than Furman I'm
iversity, your own college. The de-
nomination has put it's life into this
institution to make it absolutely as
good as the best. Why not patron
ize an institution where the religious
and moral life will be in accordance
with your own feelings and where
the cultural work is unsurpassed?
