H Whoso Breaketh an Hedge, a Serpent H Shall Kill Him. j H An hedge is a fence made of brush m or growing trees to separate on H man's enclosure from another* When H ' torn away, they are infested with H snakes, which often bite the people H engaged in the work. As here used, H "hedge" has been explained to mean H a restraint or law?something thrown H ' around us to keep us from infringing H ! on our neighbor's rights. H When people break the laws of I their country and bring about a state E 4 ; of lawlessness, they are laying them-! s= selves liable to be bitten by the ser- j ? pent in the cup?the serpent whose | j , bite is so fatal. ' ^ I have been told that the roadsides are strewed with cases and wrap-? pings of liquor bottles, and the great- wm er part of the men are imbibing free- H ly. Do you, can you realize that H this march of the liquor-god is far more destructive tutui outiuwu a march to the sea in the sixties?. H The cry among the people is, H "plenty of whiskey and no money." H This is a precursor of hard times. H . Don't blame Providence for what H you bring on yourselves. I have al- H , ways heard . that "a woful waste H makes a woful want." We. had a H touch of hard times this year, but H instead ,of heeding the warning, peo-. H pie are recklessiy spending their. H money for "that which is not bread H and for somethingthat satisfieth not" j H Some of the renters made only j H cotton enough to pay rent but were, allowed by an all-merciful God, to 11^ make a fair corn crop and good pea J? crop. Instetad of using this money j wisely, they are sending off for whiskey and leaving their supply bills unpaid. . It doesn't take a pMlosopher to tell what the result will be. j Now, while prohibition is a great; i improvement over the dispensary, j j still it is not what it ought to be. j ] Are our loyal citizens doing their part g ? * its , 1 o n. . | to cneCK tms lawlessness: dy yuui i silence you ar)e encoufrgaging this; 1 evil. Another thing, many church j f members encourage it by taking a j dram themselves. What would St.! Paul say? "If meet (drink) make j "my brother to offend, I will eat no j flesh (drink no wine) while thej world standeth." A curse follows j whiskey, whether you drink, sell, or even handle it. The only safe way is to "Touch not, taste not, handle not, the unclean thing." "Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? Not one." PRO BONO PUBLICO. CCST HIM HIS LIFE. Wire He was Pulling Fell on Live Electric Wire. A man in Anderson county lost his j life in a queer way a few days ago. The report says Keith Taylor, a white l_ men about 48 years of age, was in- """ stantly killed near Iva Wednesday night when he attempted to pull a T ground wire loose from a pole on the Gregg Shoal power line leading to \ this city. Taylor spied the copper suit wire as he and several friends were a(*n passing along the road and he decided he wanted it. He tore it loose a(jn from the pipe in the ground and dre< then from the pole. The wire fell Lee across the heavily charged transmission wire and Taylor's body got the (jay full force of the current. An inquest lica was not thought necessary. tore hav Annexation Scheme Defeated.
