J. W. HUDgQN. Morgana, S.C. .:, ' THE BRAVEST BATTLE. The bravest hattie that ever was fought Shall I tell you where and when? On the maps of the world you will find it not; Twas fought by the mothers of ( .men. No, not with cannons or battle shot, . With sword or noble pen; Nay, not with eloquent word or ' From the lips of wonderful men. But deep in a welled-up woman's heart, j A woman who would not yield, But bravely, silentiy bore her part, Lo ! there is that battle field ! No marshalling troop, no bivouac song, No banner to gleam and wave; But oh! these battles, they last so long From babyhood to the grave. Yet fateful still as the mighty stars She fights in her walled-up town, Fights on and on, in the endless wars Then silent, unseen, goes down. Oh, ye with banners and battle shot, And soldiers to shout and praise, I tell you the kingliest victories fought Are fought in these silent ways. Oh, spotless woman in a world of shame ! With splendid and silent scorn, Go back to God as white as you came, The kingliest warrior born. Cigarettes for Minors. There are a great many people who, upon reading about the recent fining of a man and his wife in Spar tanburg county for selling cigarettes to minors, seem to have gotten the idea that these fines were imposed un^der a local law applicable to Spar tanburg county alone; but in this they are mistaken. The law applies to the whole state, and is found in section 420 of the criminal code of 1912, as follows: "It shall not be lawful for any persons or pers?ns, either by himself or themselves, to sell, furnish, give, or .provide any minor or minors un der the age of 18 years, with cigar ettes, tobacco, cigarette papers, or any substitute therefor. Any person oj,- persons violating the provisions Br the preceding section, either in person, or by agent or in any other way, shall be held and deemed guilty of, a misdemeanor, and, upon indict ment and conviction therefor, shall be punished by a fine not exceeding one hundred dollars, or by imprison ment for a term of not more than one year nor less than two months, or. both, in the discretion of the court; one-half of the fine imposed to,be paid to the informer of the of fense, and the other half to be paid to the treasurer of the county in which conviction shall be held." There did business in Yorkville a few years ago a merchant whose aversion to cigarettes was so great that he did not care much to sell them to anybody. He had a part ner, however, who did not share his feelings on the subject and he had to sell cigarettes to keep peace. But when he learned of the law prohi biting the sale of cigarettes to min ora, he had his inning. He pasted I the law on a card and put it on his showcase in a position where it could readily be seen, and whenever a sallow-facd, attenuated little cigar ette fiend came into his store for either the manufactured article or the makings, he took special pleasure in reading the law and telling the youngster to go along. During his membership in the General Assembly Mr. S. H. Epps, of this county made especial efforts to get through a law prohibiting the sale of cigarettes and cigarette pa pers in South Carolina; but each time he made the effort a lobby of cigarette manufacturers appeared in sufficient force to defeat his propos ed measure.-Yorkville Enquirer.
