r- , vs ., T . H ? ?- ? Prohibition in Lancaster. ' Views of Mayor Blakeney, of \ Kershaw, on Operation of ( the Law in this County-- j Marked Improvement in t , Conditions, Especially in j Kershaw. i From The State. i Mr. E. D. Blakeney, mayor of Kershaw, whs here yesterday on t his way to Atlanta. It is gener- < ally known that the town ot Ker- j sliaw is partly in Lancaster coun- j ty and partly in Kershaw county, i This geographical situation has t entailed more than one compli- ( cation, the most serious of which i has been with reference to the dispensary. The bulk of the ( town of Kershaw lies in Lancas < ter county which has prohibiti- < on. Even after Lancns'er voted the dispensary out, tlie town of Kershaw had a dispensary, kept there by the action of the State dispensary hoard, on ihe ground < that the tovu was partly in Ker- I ehawcounty. However, thecourts knocked out this proposition and 1 the dispensary was removed from Kershaw. At that time Mr Blakeney was very heartily in 1 lavor of the dispensary and worked for its retention f??r he believed firmly that to remove it would be to invite blind tigers. Now he is of an entirely differ- ! ent opinion. While not a prohibitionist, still he believes that prohibition can be enforced as , much as any other law is enforced. Since the removal of the ; dispensary, he has been elected mayor. At first he thought the task of ridding the community of blind tigers would be a^mo>t impossible to be accomplished. But now he feels free to say that, it there be such a thing as prohi- 1 bit ion, the town of Kershaw has it. There are those who send off and get their whiskey by ex- 1 pres9, as the law allows them to, but the band tigers have been driven into their lairs. Mr. Blakeney believes that almost any town can have pro^ hibition if the police force can be made to take an active interest in the enforcement ot the law ' and if the munipicial authorities will give their moral sanction to 1 me eiiort to root out the offend- 1 ers. It also requires the moral sentiment ol the community, hut there is no community in which ( the moral sentiment is other than ' for the enforcement of the law, ' if the people would only take in- ( terest enough to come out and ' say so. 1 WHAT LOCAL OI'TION DOES. Mr. Blakeney takes a different view of the local option law Irom that which has been held by a great many people, lie believes that it will tend to bring about a general condition of prohibition, that the moral sentiment will radiate from county to county and that prohibition will come gradually by the will of the po >pie, it not by the action ot the geueral assembly. He sees the good that has been done in Lancaster county since y . the dispensary was voted out; the dispensary having caused v more or less drunkenness, while ( H 88 mayor of the town of Kershaw t he has had before him but one J CA.BA r>i rtrnnkonnaaa it, oK/,ti? ni- I ] : THE L nouths. Mr. Blakeney believes that the 'eason the people of lvershaw ;oted against the retention of the lispe> is because of the inluen ?rohibition in Lancaser county, for when the campaign was on there were many nquiries from Kershaw counrv rs to how prohibition was work ng in Lancaster. Mr. Blakeney was asked about ;he celebrated J no. T. Morrison ;ase. This was tlie6uit for dam- = *ge against Lancaster county on iccount ol the lynching of a white nan, Morrison. Mr. Blakeney >aid that at the spring term of jourt in Luncaster on account ol 1 ^eut piece that came to them in ^ change or otherwise. Few people have any idea how quickly limes run into dollars and how it tie they are missed. It takes , . . . , o tome determination to utn-Lr irw jj, he rule at first. Q But there are many ways to iccumulate small savings with . >ut missing the money. Parents ihould teach their children to ave, not merely for the sake of ' t few dollars they may accumu-i ate at first'but for the sake of the l raining itself.

The Necessity of Saving. Rich men declare that the hardest part of a fortune to accumulate is the first $1,000. After that sum has been laid aside it is comparatively easy to increase it. It this statement be true, nothing more strongly em phasizes thd advisability of saving by young people. The habit of saving formed in youth may make many men wealthy who otherwise will never le well off : in this world's goods. Saving does not at all mean that one ' must be close or stingy. On the other hand it is one way of tnak ing it possible for one to be extremely generous. Saving is not a hard thing to lo after once learned.
