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

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. Good business
nen have been savers ill youth.

TEN YEARS IN BE-> i(
"For ten years I wan confined to my tied
rith dis. use of niy kidneys," writes Ii. A ^
Iray, J l\ <>f Oitkville, Jnd. "It was .so i
eve re that 1 could uot movo part ol the
iiue. I consulted the very best medical V
kill nvailuht , hut could ?et do relief nnil
'-'oley's Kiduey Cure was recommended F
o uio. It has been a Godsend to me."
i motion, lor continuance, Judge
Dantzlerliad ruled that he would
antera^non suit" conditioned up
:>n the payment of costs in the
case by the attorney, W. 11.
Newbold of Chester. Iu case
Newbold should pay the costs
within 20 days the case would
remain on the docket, otherwise
it would be non-suited. The
costs were not paid by Mr. Newbold
and the case was therefore
thrown out. That does not necessarilv
mean the end of the
litigation, however, tor the suit
may be brought in a new form at
any tim\
Men Past Sixty In Danger
More than half of mankin 1 over sixty
years of age suffer from kidney ami bladder
disorders, naiially wilargeiuent of prostate
gland*. This is both painful uud dangermiH,
and Foley's Kidney I'lire should l>e
taken at the tirst aign of danger, as it corrects
irregularities and has cured many old
men of thia disease Mr. Hodnev Humett
Hock port, Mo., writes: "I suffered with
enlarged prostata k1iii.iI hi.i1 kidney trouble
for yeu.ru iirnl ufter taking two bottles of
Foley's Kidney Cure I feel better than 1
have for twenty years, although I aui now
[)1 years old."
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. We have
known men who formed the
liabit of putting aside every ten
