fate.

The prohibition law in this state
needs amendment. AS the law now
stands a person convicted of having
liquor in his possession, of trans
porting liquor, and similar offenses,
may be given a sentence of imprison-
ment, or he may be fined, or he may
be both fined and imprisoned.
A person convicted Of selling in
%toxicating liquors is punished under
the law by Imprisonment only; for
the first ofense he may be mprison-
ed for not less than six months, and
for the second offense for not less
than twelve months, with provision,
however, for the trial judge to sus-
pend a portion of the sentence in
every case. =. - ... .."
For the manufacture Of intoxicat-
ing liquors, which is now forbidden
by the law of the state as we'll as of
the Federal government, the punish
ment is less severe than for the Of
lenses enumerated above. Under the
law it seems that the, punishment
must be given in the alternative, so
that a person, convicted may always
have the opportunity to. pay a fine
and escape Imprisonment altogether.
Everybody knows that the person
who manufacture liquor is as
much a criminal as the person who
sells it, or who has it in possession.
But for the unlawful manufacture Of
the liquor, there could be no un-
lawful sales and no unlawful stor-
ing, etc. If liquor be deemed the
breeder of crimes, and everybody
now knows that it is, the manufac-
turer is in fact a much more danger
Gus criminal than the person who
sells, even habitually, and more dam
gerous than the man who stores Ii
quor, even when it is intended for
sale.
The law needs amendment so as to
make the punishment for those per-
sons who manufacture Intoxicating
liquors much more severe than at
present. No punishment other than
imprisonment( bould be provided by
law for this offense.

MR.. E. B. STACK MAKES
ELECTRIC AUTOMOBILE

A miniature electric automobile is
attracting quite a bit Of attention on
the streets of Monroe. 1t is about
four feet long and about two and a
half or three feet high and will carry
three children or one grown person.
The automobile was made by Mr.. f.
B. Stack, son of Mr.. J. E. Stack, and
runs perfectly by electric storage
battery.
Mr.. Stack is an electrical genius.
He graduated several years ago from
the A. and E. and spent some time at
the University, but decided that he
was out of his calling and went to
work with the Westinghouse people
in Pittsburgh. He later worked with
the General Electric Company of
Schenectady, N. Y. Mr.. Stack made
every part about the miniature au-
ton3ob!lc and it is perfect as a large
.JrH.
"r, Amos Stack, brother to Erwin,
:c:'5 Of an arrangement his brother
once made when the father of the
boys tired OF getting up at 6 o'clock
in the mornings to let the cook in at
the hack door. Erwin got busy and
connected a wire to the lock in SOME
manner, which no one but the clec-
trical genius could explain, and also
made a connection with the clock in
such manner that when the clock
truck 6 each morning it unlocked
the door.-Mcnroe, On. c. Journal.
Mr.. Stack married Miss lone Mil
Ter, only daughter of Jones F. Miller,
Judge of Probate for Abbeville, who
with her two children Jones Miller
Stack and E. B., Jr., spent the sum-
mer in Abbeville.

MAY GET PICRIC ACID
Department of Agriculture Supply
ing Explosive at Cost Of Pack
ing and Freight

Clemson College, Sept. 21.-
South Carolina farmers car get
more picric acid. The U. S. Depart
mcnt Of Agriculture announces that
a limited supply of this explosive is
now on hand at Edgewood, Nd,
and that it is being offered to farm
ers for agricultural purposes free of
cost except the charges for car
tridging, packing and freight. This
cost is 7 cents per pound for car
tridging and packing and about two
cents per pound for freight to a
central point plus freight to point
of local delivery.
Picric acid is a high explosive
used in the World War and the gov
eminent is now distributing its re-
naming supply as an agricultural
explosive to stimulate land clearing
activities. Picric acid has given en-
tire satisfaction to thousands of
farmers in many states who have
have used it for stump blasting,
ditch digging, etc. One: car Of IT.
900 pounds was used by South
Carolina farmers early this year.
The material is packed in cartrid-
gas tho same size and shape as are
used for dynamite, but the picric
acid cartridge weighs 6 ounces,
while the dynamite cartridge weighs
s ounces. The six-ounce picric acid
cartridge has the same explosive
force as the S-ounce dynamite car
fridge. Since one pound Of picric
acid does the same work as one
fourth pound of 40 per cent dyna'
mite the cost of the equivalent ct
around z cents per pound IS approx
imately one-third the cost Of the
equivalent quantity of dynamite at
usual retail prices. It Is clear there
fore that it would pay farmers who
have stump blasting and other ex.
plosive work to do. to secure picric
acid from this government supply,
Because of the creator cost of
freight in less than CARROTS, the De-
partment Of Agriculture will not re.
ceive orders from individual far.
mers but will deal only with a coop

VIGOROUS WARFARE
ON BooTLEGGERS
Governor Harvey Reports Excellent
Results Being Obtained.

NeSuits DelnS NoeSo
Columbia, Sept. 26.-Governor
Harvey has made known his inten-
ton of waging a vigorous warfare
on the b~ootleggers of the state. In
fact he has already launched the
fight, and he announces today that
already excellent results have been
accomplished, with state and federal
officers cooperating.
Governor Harvey reports a num-
Der of cases where the officers had
made big raids, and he stated that he
proposed to keep his state constables
at work in the campaign against the
bootlegger.
During recent days the state and
federal officers have been active in
the eastern part of the state, and in
Columbia several seizures have been
made. The presence of a circus in
Columbia Saturday was believed to
be the drawing card for some whis-
key, and on Laurel street the officers
seized thirty-nine gallons. On the
outskirts Of the city the officers seiz-
ed sixty gallons, the whiskey said to
have been stored for an alleged Co.
lumbia b%ootlegger.
Governor Harvey states that he is
receiving the close support Of federal
officers in the anti-booze campaign.
He is receiving reports from many
parts of the state and his constables
are working overtime. Complaints
from people of the state serve as the
basis for the greatest activity on the
part of the prohibition officers, the
governor states.

The foregoing should convince the
skeptical from North Main that
there is always something new to be

given on these streets their hearts

SHIRLEY MASON FEATURE
AT GRAND TOMORROW

Shirley Mason is the star of this
human picture of New York Ghetto
life which appears at the Grand to-
morrow. The dainty star appears as
Esther Aaronson, who, as a member
of the Aaronson family, is one who
lis constantly striving to smile
through adversities. The story re-
cords the delicate touches of Jewish
life, revealing in sympathetic strokes
the strong family tendencies and the
spirit of good will and charity that
permeates such an environment. The
Aaronsons have much to be thankful
for. Esther is beloved by young
doctor, although sorrows come when
it is realized that the mothers sight
is failing. The brother has pugilistic
ambitions and such tendencies on his
part provoke deal of unhappy mo-
ments for the other members of the
family. In particular Papa Aaronson
is displeased.
The boy becomes the associate of
evil acquaintance and his determine
ton to avenge his sisters insults at
the hands of one of the gangsters in
vites a deal of dramatic complica-
ton. The story is saturated with
homespun touches which register for
their pathos and heart interest. Miss
Mason is pert and pretty and pathet-
ic at times and gives good account
of herself in the leading role. Others
who contribute noteworthy perform
ances are CASTOR Glass, Arthur Ran
kin and George Williams.
