Citizens ai id Officers Call Upon
Blind Tigers.
Since the gallon-a-month law was
enacted it ha.- been difficult for
blind tigers to obtain liquor in sat
isfactory quantities, erqiecially since
the dispensary vv as closed in Aiken.
Hut for some lime negroes in Edge
field, wini have been selling liquor,
have used the names of other ne
groes, or rather induced other ne
groes to order for them. Even the
names of negro women have been
regularly used. Inonu instance one
negro has secured, with the co-op
eration ol' his pals, both males and
females, as much as fourteen gal
lons in one month. The w hite citi
zens have grown tired nf thus see
ing the law evaded and the spirit of
it violated in the matter of order
ing whiskey. Consequently about
forty or fifty representative citi
zens of the town, representing every
walk of life, quietly met in the court
house Monday afternoon to take
steps'to stop this influx of whiskey
for unlawful purposes. Mr. Oriun
do Sheppard was elected chairman.
After a full discus>ion of the situa
tion it was agreed without a dissent
ing voice that the sheriff and his
deputy and the marshals of the
town be requested to call at once
upon these blind tigers and their
confederates and state to them that
the public knows they are violating
the law, and that it must stop at
once and for all time. The resolu
tion which embodied this request of
the officers, who have always been
faithful in the performance of their
duty, also called upon the citizens
to accompany the officers, thus
showing the lawless element that
the people stand squarely behind
the officers. The meeting was then
adjourned and Sheriff Svvearingen,
Deputy Sheriff Brimson and Mar
shal R. H. Parks, boarded cars and,
accompanied by about forty leading
citizens, called upon about eight or
ten negroes and <rave them emphatic
warning in an orderly way. This pro
3ession of nine automobiles aud
forty men created considerable con
sternation in some quarters. But
the effect will be wholesome. There
will be fewer packages of whiskey
ordered by negro women and others
who have allowed themselves to be
come tools of blind tigers. If some
of these offenders persist in this vio
lation of the law, and evidence cau
not be secured to arraign them be
fore the courts, they will be asked
to leave town.

A Message From Another Land.
We people of the occident have to
depend, usually, upon missionaries,
chance Chinese men, who may come
to thu town, or upon hooks and
magazines for our information ami
study of the great land of China,
or the "sleeping giant," as she is
sometimes called on account of her
dormant greatness and power. But
on last Sunday afternoon, at the
Methodist church, wc heard in our
owmlanguage an appealing and in"
tere<tirig talk hy a Chinese girl.
Thc talk was made more effective
and the Chinese life brought more
clearly to us, by her wearing the
native Chinese costume. Miss Me
lang Ting was not wholly a stran
ger to many Edgefield people on
account of her friendship with the
first missionary that Edgefield sent
to China, Miss June Nicholson, and
Miss Ting was a stranger to none of
us in the sense that she is interest
ed, as wo are, in the sending of the
gospel to every nation. An audi
ence of earnest listeners were as
sembled, ami the stage was decora
ted in Chinese Hags. Miss Ting was
introduced by Senator B. E. Nich
olson.
In her talk the speaker told of
the opportunity America now has,
and how China's gates are open to
her as no other country. China and
America have never had a war, this
being one reason why China looks
to America. She said that China
had suffered much in war at the
hands of Japan and England, the
latter having forced the opium trade
upon China. She said that she did
not ask for China our pity, but our
sympathy, and our love.
China isa rich country were her
resources developed and used. In
the abundant coal fields, there is
enough fuel to last the world for
twenty-five hundred years, thus
when we look not alone upon her
wealth, but upon her past, and upon
her people, America, "the strong
young son of nations," except in
her religion, must also look up to
China.
Miss Ting said that she never
liked to close her talks without
saying something to the children.
She told them a sweet and helpful
story. Tiie meeting was conducted
by a hymn. We welcome Miss Ting
to our town and rejoice with her
in the way in which China is ac
cepting the Christian religion.

WHY ENDURE SUMMER COLDS?
It isn't necessary to have a stuffed
head, running nose. To cough your
head off as it were. All you need
do is to use Dr. Bell's Pine-Tar
Honey. The soothing and healing
balsams open the clogged air pas
sages and in a short time you get
relief and start on the road to re
covery. Your nose slops running,
you cough less and you know you
are getting better. G-et a bottle,
use as directed. Keep what is left
as a cough and cold insurance. 2
