The State of South Carolina enters upon its prohibition experiment next January. We used the word y "experiment" purposely. To the great majority of Carolinians the period a in the future is one of doubt and de- n siring hope. With the advent of pro- t liibition conies what? Either one of two things: ii (1) Practical prohibition, with ac- b live and efficient enforcement of the v law, supported by the verdicts of juries, or. on the other hand. i ('J) Blind tigers, with tlie law's u iignity a fare# and its respect a uis- > grace and tlie absolute refusii ol juries to convict. Which will it be? i None of us know, and yet men old- 1 vr than we have expressed an expectation of the latter, jurging from the c past. God forbid! The preachers, J lawyers and other prohibition sewers ? must not proclaim victory from the housetops, and sit down. The light t begins in January, and the world-old t question is the issue?enforcement i of law. Every citizen, whether he voted or not Tuesday, must aid in enforcing the law? not his law, or ours, or anybody's but tlio law of South Carolina. i Tlie editors 01 mis paper never ( took any great or active part in the recent campaign, editorially or other ( wise save for two individual votes, ( Viut in the greater issue of disregard v for law or its enforcement they expect to do their part. Our hope is ( that every man who spoke lor proli: bitiou, who voted for it. who desired it, will stand to the light as squarei\ ( when the issue is personal between men conducting blind tigers or rep- , resenting tlieui as they did when Hie light was impersonal and only upon theoretical issues. f Prohibition upon the statute books j . without enforcement will ao no goon i a I -it will u iiat tin- issue at a future ( election. The strongest lighting man . can do tor prohibition is to do all he , < an to enforce the law . Victory has < not come to the prohibitionists yet? < the majority at tile poils Tuesday 1 may have been pyrric in character. The victory will only come in the de J monstration that prohibition will prohibit, and this alone will insure Us permanency. 1 The dispensary and a blind tiger 1 are unlike, they both sell liquor but the difference being in the receipt oi the. profit. Between the two we would rather have the lirst. , Prohibition and the dispensary are | unlike; the former stops liquor, the ] latter supplies. Between the two we I refer the irat. The great difference between pro- J liibition and the blind tiger system '* . seen, but through failure to enforce prohibition laws a stato of prohibi* < tiou can easily sink into a state of blind tigers. In tiiat case the voters of our state will make the other choice? between ;i dispensary and t a blind tiger system. ? Merely ealling our stale prohibition will not make It so. f 1 l.l.l SOMKTIII.Mi t.OOO UK SAU>. i When over the lair fame of friend or * foe ?

J A patient Englishman who last sum- I mer watched a garden spider spin its * nest from start to finish has told what he saw, in a recent issue of Knowledge. At 9:30 o'clock in the evening the spider, a half-grown female, began work by dropping from one branch of a pine tree to another below, and there making fast a line, which eventually formed two of the perpendicular J radiating lines of the web. From that time It continued to work without Interruption until 1:25 o'clock the next morning. The network and radial lines were done by 12:80 o'clock, and the spiral part of the web was consequently made in less than an hour. The observer drew many interesting | diagrams of the web at different stages ; gj In its construction. He says the finished weh w?h nnh of tlio mnnt nor. ! ' feet be has ever seen.
