WHAT TWO YEARS
OF PROHIBITION
HAVE MEANT TO OUR COUNTRY


The pro-liquor press are saying
that prohibition is failure and that
conditions are worse than before the
Eighteenth Amendment was adopted.
The only way TO counterfeit the effect
of such statements is to give wide
publicity to the REAL news about
prohibition.
1. Two years of National Prohi-
bition has reduced the number of
drinkers of alcoholic beverages from
2O,000,000 to 100000 a decrease
of 17,5O0,0OO, says Federal Prohi-
bition Commissioner Haynes.
2. Only Is per cent of former
drinkers are drinking now and these
are drinking but five per cent the
quantity of liquor that was formerly
consumed, says Federal Prohibition
Commissioner Haynes.
3. The same authority states that
the entire drink bill of the nation
has decreased $4,000, 100000 a year.
This mon, y formerly spent for drink
has gone into savings banks or has
been spent in legitimate lines for
necessary commodities.
4. The year 1921, the second of
the prohibition regime, was the
healthiest in the United States, &C
cording to figures submitted by
thirty-seven leading insurance COM
panies transacting about 80 per cent
of the insurance business of the
life insurance business of the coun-
try.
5. The Federal Comptroller of the
Currency is authority for the state
ment that more than 600 mutual
savings banks show gains both in
number of depositors and volume of
deposits during the last fiscal year.
Prominent banks in every section of
the country testify that prohibition
has promoted the thrift movement as
shown by increased savings.
6. Judge Kent Greene, president
of the Washingtonian Home Associa-
ton, the oldest operating association
of it's kind in America, is reported to
have said that the Chicago home is
the only one out of sixty or more in
the country to survive and that it's
slim patronage makes it's future
7. The report of the Board of
Charities of the District of Columbia
for the fiscal year 1921 shows con-
tinued decline in the population of |
the workhouse and other correctional |
and reform institutions. The chair
men of the committee on Reforma-
tories and Correctional Institutions
and others says: 1.-THE most en-
fact to be noted in connec-
ion with the workhouse is that dur
ng the past year the daily average
If prisoners was only 208 as com
pared with 334 the preceding year.
This is the lowest number recorded
since the establishment of the new
at Occoquan, eleven years
lgo."

T. K. Cushman, of Hopkinsvitle,
KY, came in last week with MIR.
Tom Metcalfe, of Hopkinsville Ky,
for the purpose of looking into the
prospects of the Union City Laundry.
1fr. Metcalfe is the owner of the
plant and is trying to increase the
volume of business which is justified
by a capacity production. Mr.. Cush-
man will make a canvass of the city
and take the road in the interest of
she laundry. Mr. Metcalfa stated
that the plant is doing only one
fourth of it's capacity and that unless
the business could be increased It Is
not now a practical proposition as
an investment. He and MI. Cush-
IuaH are trying to boost the business,
incidentally to contribute to our in
dbstry, AMI everyone shor;id take d
personal interest in the matter. 1t
is Union CITY enterprise and should
have our support.

l don't know where the blame for
the coal strike rests nor how much
of it rests upon the respective par
ties to the strike. The statement
made by Mr.. Stanley for the coal OPP
orators in the New York World was
not very illuminating. The statement
made by Mr.. Lewis for the miners in
the same paper was more to the
point. Mr. Stanley seeks to hold the
miners up as a class irresponsible and
unreliable Mr.. Lewis is inclined to
regard the miners as citizens and en-
titled to some consideration. Mr..
Lewis statement of coal costs and
profits is very conclusive if it is &C
curate. Says Mr.. Lewis, the average
retail price of coal is $11 ton. The
miner gets $1.35 cents ton for his
work, the freight averages $1.30 a
ton and the balance, 1886, goes to
the operator. There are enough
miners, says Mr.. Lewis, to mine the
entire coal fields in the United States
by working six hours a day regularly
and by this means have better liv-
ing hours and opportunities. But
the operators will not yield and the
old full-day system forces them out
of work and pay portion of the
time. The miner can not find some
thing else to do to employ his idle
time and he is not fit for many Jobs
Mr.. Stanley, for the operators, does
MT seem to have any figures to make.
So it looks to the public as much like
an operators strike as it does a
miners strike.

Only few of The citizens met last
Saturday at the courthouse to take
up the matter of taxes and general
legislation. Mr.. Callicott and Mr.
McAIister and a small number were
present, but no meeting was held.
1t was suggested to these gentlemen
that the taxpayers and citizens are
interested in the movement, and no
doubt they are interested, but it is
very hard to get them together unless
they are convinced that disinterested
action will be taken and proper
measures pursued. No one possibly
could be satisfied with the way legis-
lative matters in Tennessee are be-
ing handled and it is evidently GER
tain that the people could be in
duced to come together to discuss the
proposition if disinterested motives
are assured. If there was selfish
motive in the proposed meeting this
office knew nothing about it. Ev
erybody was invited to the meeting
and the candidates, whoever they
are, were also invited. To take for
granted that the present political
conditions in Tennessee, because no
meeting was held, are satisfactory to
the people of this county, would be
to discredit the protests and criti-
cisms that have already been made
over and over many times. Surely,
if our people are willing to stand the
pressure of the present tax arrange
ment they could not be satisfied with
the prospect of still further tax in
creases, which are practically GER
tain with increasing State treasury
deficits and State bond issues. If
the present call for a meeting was
not satisfactory let somebody else
call one and let us show to the peo-
pie of Tennessee that we are interest
ed in Tennessee's political future.

attitude Of the people along the pro-
posed routes will have much to do
with the final selection OF the route.
Plans for the railroad have pro-

electricity Is being considered as the
motive power for 1t. AS high author
tiles state that all railroads. In the

that the new road will be, run with
electricity. A semi-offlcial statement
is that the timber company may de-

its property, Or current may be fur
nished by the Southern Power Com
pany. There are several streams in
the Carolina Timber Company's ter

In this connection the Sentinel Is
reliably informed that the Southern
Power Company wanted to string a

Carolina Timber Company property
and on through Pickens as early as
1910, but could not get satisfactory
agreement with the owners of Lake

SfAY GET NEW RAILWAY LINE,
Timber Company Now Engaged In
Securing Rights Of Way.
Dickens Sentinel.)


Preliminary steps are now being
taken which will lead to the biggest
Industrial development in the history
Of Pickens county within the next
few years.
Wade H. Chastain, general agent
for the Carolina Timber Co., is now
engaged In securing rights-of-way
for a railroad to be built from Jo-
cassee, 20 miles above Pickens, and
just over the line In Oconee county,
to the town Of Pickens, and If the
necessary rights-of-way can be se-
cured within reasonable length of
time, the next step Of actual con-
struction Of tho railroad will be be-
gun without delay, according to the
authentic information obtained by
the Sentinel.
Plans for the building OF the pro-
posed railroad have been under way
for several years and are as fully de-
veloped as can be up to the point OF
securing the rights-of-way and se-
lecting the exact route, but this is
the first news of 1t that has been
given to the public. The road will
be built by the Carolina Timber Co.
as an outlet for lis timber in Pick
ems and Oconee counties.
The Carolina Timber Co., q mem-
ber OF the strongest timber land fac
tors in the United States, own $4,000
acres Of timber land in Pickens and
Qconee counties, most of which, how
ever, is In Pickens county. This vast
tract contains immense quantities of
white pine, yellow pine, poplar and
chestnut, hickory and all other tim
bers known to this region, and is the
finest single tract Of timber in the
Southern Appalachians II not In the
United States.
1T Is estimated that it will take at
least twenty years to cut and move
the timber now on this tract. The
proposed road would run right into
the heart Of the Carolina Timber Co.
holdings, and this enormous amount
of timber would be hauled out over
1t.
Just above this $4,000 acres is an
other timber tract Of many thousand
| acres. owned by another company,
and this timber would also be hauled
over the proposed road.
The Carolina Timber Company has
three routes in view for the road.
Present plans, according to reliable
| infor"' alton, are to build the road
from Jocassee down Whitewater and
Eastatoe rivers to 'Pickens and con-
meet with the Southern railway at
or near Easley, or BALD to Walhalla
and connect with the Blue Ridge rail
way there, or build to Calhoun and
connect with the Southern at that
point.

cided to build the road along one Of
these routes, the exact one has not
