Opinion Is growing that the General Assembly will enact a law prohibiting the whiskey traffic In South Carolina, subject to ratification by a majority of-the electors. The law should and will include financial provision for its enforcement Everywhere in the United States violations or prohibition laws' increases in difficulty and liquor sellers would as well' understand that, whether the Congress votes for or against federal regulation of tho traf fic at any time,- it will in future be afraid not to enact sympathetic meas ures for tho enforcement of prohibi tory statutes in the States that adopt them. - <i xflf It the question of State*widc pro hibition cornea before the electors of South Carolina next summer, its de feat will not be accompanied without strenuous effort. Plenty of pc Ulcal observers are predicting that prohi bition would win. a most effectivo and convincing pro hibition campaign is now going on but prohtbltlonlsta aro not conducting it The men who. are "getlng roBulte" for State-wit'e prohibition in South Carolina now are the men who refuse to obey the lawa that legalieo the liquor traffic. The so-called clubn and "blind tigers" and. In some cities, clubs com pelled of highly respectable gentle men, that show po more respect for the laws of South 8Carollna than do the back alley "bootleggers," are do ing that which really counts In favor of tho abolition of the traffic. So long as laws permitting the ssle of intoxicants are treated with con tempt, men who doubt the wisdom of prohibition will fear no great evil to follow from a change to It from pres ents conditions. Men opposed to prohibition are not disposed to work and vote In the in terest of law-breakers. If liquor law breakers aro to flourish When the Stat uten provide for a regulated traffic, h?w can prohibition, Whether or not it "prohibits," ranko conditions worse? -, The state is not prepared to sup port prohibition for the sake of main taining, statutes which,liquor sellers persistently set at naught. If we shall havo State-wide prohi bition la South Carolina, the prohibi tionists will have the. Iaw-br eakl ng whiskey sellers to think for the vlc r$fa**fth?, Slate.-, PARDON .MILL Ht'NN IMG Again the pardon mill in Columbia bun been put to grinding, and tili? time ibero were seventy convicts which came out of the mill uh u robult. Only u very few reiualn in Iii? peni tentiory, and wo cannot ?? ?* any good reason for keeping tlu-m there. Frank ly, we should like to see a general am nesty granted and those few remain ing given their liberty, if Governor Ulease does not turn them all out, we trust Governor .Manning will make thiH the flrnt act or his official career. It Is Inconceivable that the few who remain in the penitentiary, wearing convict's stripes, are any worse men than ?ouie who have been given their liberty. We stand for fair play, und Ii Is not fuir to th?' few remaining that they should he denied their lib erty. Perhaps they did not have influ ential lawyers who Btand iu with the present administration to intercede for them, and there may be other reas ons why they nre atlll kept iu durance vile. Hut, l( they are a friendless lot, and have no one to Intercede for them. The Intelligencer will play the role of petitioner, and usk that they all be turned out beforo the 19th of Janu ary. If thin bo not pos'lible, and our petition falls upon deaf earn, we trust the new administration will heed It and turn them all out. It might he very well. Indeed, for the prison to ho eleuned out no that It could bo given a good airing, in order that tho disease germs bo destroyed, those germs which interfered with the work asBigued to thn inmates. "The quality of merry in not Btralned," but we can hardly say so much for the quantity. !)y ull means let equal jus tice be doun all citizens of tho com monwealth, and all unfortunates who have tost their cltlzenNhin. REV. NETTLE'S FAREWELL With tho current issue of The Southern Christian Advocate, Rev. S. A. Nettles sew* s bis connection with tho paper, turning it over to Rev. W. D. Klrkland who will be the new ed itor. The period of time In which The Southern Christian Advocate has been edited and published by Rev. S. A. Nettles has been an important period for tho MethodiBt church in South Carolina. He has had anything but a smooth sea for his journalistic career, and there has been no lack of Interest ing happenings In the ranks of Metho dism. Being a hard fighter and a good writer, Rev. Kettles has kept bta paper before the public, and has contended for what he believed to ho right, with feariesB abilty. Ho could have ad opted an easier aad more popular jourae, but such was not his concep tion of duty. The valedictory which Rev. Nettles iUB written is mild, and expresses his .est wishes for the new management, nul for the new publishers, as well as for the MethodiBt church. His urougcBt opponents can Scarcely find unythlug in this farewell word which will be criticized by them. Thus passes from the religious press a man who has made a strong fight for what he believed to bo right. He has left his Impress upon South Carolina Methodism. His successor, Rev. W. D. Kir aland, is a gifted and fluent writer, und tho ujntithepis of tt 0 former (Mi tor In many respects. That he will ably edit The Advocate goes without saying, and tho conference could hardly have chos n a bettor man to bring together the 'actions In the Methodist ranks. An derson is glad to have the privilege Of publishing The Advocate. ANDERSON COUNTY'S EXPERT While it Is almost reasonably sure that the Anderson county delegation will authorlso the expenditure of the $800 asked for by Hon. W. W, Long to supplement his fund for a county farm demonstration agent, it would have been better for tho assurance to have been given definitely at. the meeting held hero Thursday. Similar requests were made by Mr. Long of tho Greenville and Spartanburg dele gations and they Immediately sub scribed the amount naked for, so their expert farm demonstration agents have been assigned, and they will Immediately go to work. Tho work in Anderson county is just as important as it is in Greenville or Spartanburg counties, and we should havo Just as good a man. We were informed by Mr. Long that ho bad an exceptionally good man whom be could place In Anderson county, It the delegation acted favor ably .upon bis petition, since this was trot done, wo-doubt whether or not Mr. Long will be able to keep this expert for Anderson county, if some other county takes advantage of this proposition. Let us hope that the de lay by the delegation will not work to the detriment of the agricultural work In Anderson county. So. import ant is .this, work and this decision by the delegation that The Intelligencer] hopes soni* way may be had by which the delegation can he polled beforo the meeting of legislature. It this cannot bo done, so trust Mr. Long will bold off ftori sending the expert Iio has in view to another county.

The Store with a Conscience PROHIBITION BILL HAS BEEN .PREPARED SPARTANBUF.G, Jan. 3.?Under the direction of the headquarters committee of the Anti-Saloon Lcagve, Senator Howard . B. Carlisle has drawn the Statewide prohibition bill that will be Introduced in the ap proaching legislature and made the basis of the fight by the prohibition ists of the State before that body. It rrjjj Kg submitted to the members of the committee tomorrow, but may not be mp.?e public for the time being. The document is said b> he simple and brief and seeks to apply to tue whole State the liquor laws that ap ply to the dry counties at the pres ent time. During the past week Sev eral conferences have been held by members of the headquarters com mittee, and It Is said thay are conll dent, from what they hear from over the State, that prohibition will win in the legislature and the question be submitted to the neo; lc at an elec tion to be held next fait. An interesting rumor Is current locally as to an amendment to exist ing liquor laws to bo advocated by the advocates of prohibition. It will be proposed to make It unlawful for any person to receive more than ?ne gallon of liquor' per month, according to this report. At present the law allows individuals to receive for per sonal use packages of four and a fraction gallons as often bb he de sires. . It is. understood locally that the Spartanburg delegation of seven members of the house and ono sena tor will support that Statewide probl tion bill. My New Year Resolutions Appreciating the fact that I am a part of the community, and under standing that no individual has a right to expect the community to be any better than he tries to malte it, I begin with yesterday's Big Monday Sale and these resolutions: The Bee Hive is to be; a better store this year than it was last. . As 1 look back I see many shortcomings in my service. This I shall improve. I have learned many things during the old year 1914?from you and from others?and 1915 is to be better for our added knowleg? of what you desire and what it is possible for me ' to supply. I have a new ambition to do bigger and better things in modern storekeeping, and to more broadly deserve your patronage, and 1 believe that 1 will get more of your confidence and support as fast as 1 deserve it. I am resolved to educate myself in the principles of good citizenship in city and state and nation, in so far as 1 have opportunity and ability, and? ( I am resolved to find Some particular part of the community life/In which to be personar ly interested, and to ?of what I can to make It as good as it can be. -t ^ 1 am resolved that Xytflf use my business in the right way, on princ?p?es of righteous ness and for the ends of progress. 1 am resolved that I will stand against all forms of community wickedness and. vice,, and that 1 .will help in any cause that attempts to better conditions that now exist. 1 f.rr. resolved that 1 will unite myself with all who, like nie, are desirous of better thing*, that by the force of union we may be able to bring about the conditions we desire. I am resolved that this is a good world to live in-?especially that part covered by An derson county?but the efforts of good people can make it better, and that I will help. 1 am resolved, starting today, to improve the'old Reed building, on North M#n street so much that you won't know it, , And in conclusion, I am resolved to keep air of my old. or regular clerks. They* have, stood by the Bee Hive'through thick and thin and the Bee Hive is going to stand by them. . 1 am resolved to not only keep these old clerks of mine, but to employ more if the good people of Anderson keep on patronizing the Bee Hive as ^they have started.
