In opposing prohibition legislation, especially when moral questions are involved, some persons argue that morality can not be legislated into people. While this is true, yet, it is also true that when certain temptations and fruitful sources of demoralization are practically removed by the enactment of prohibitive measures, good results always follow. A notable example was the outlawing of the lottery; another in stance is the law prohibiting speculation in cotton futures, and still another, and later example, is the prohibition of gambling on horse races throughout New York and several other states in which horse racing is extensively practiced. To come nearer home: Sobriety can not be legislated into people, but, just as good results were accomplished through the above cited prohibitive laws, the evil of intemperance can by legislation be minimized and the temptation removed to such an extent that fewer of the bright boys of the present generation will meet a drunkard's fate.?Edgefield Advertiser. The above from The Advertiser is all too true. Edgefield is a "diy" . /mawmfcy and we venture the assertion ' that it will always be. Remove the temptation, and where is the young man that will order the vile stuff from a neighboring state? Place a prohi bition law on our statute books and the generation now rising up will be living monuments of sobriety and morality. The men who drink whiskey now will drink less and many of the dollars now going for whiskey will go into the coffers of the merchants for the necessaries of life. Grover Cleveland, one of the greatest men the nation has ever known, .died at his home in Princton, N. J., on Wednesday last at the age of 72 years. Mr. Cleveland was twice elected President 6f the United States and was universally loved. He was beyond doubt the greatest of democrats, and was always looked to for advice when the party's interest was a? stake. The entire nation mourns his death. What is the matter with the Lexington boys?" remarked a charming young lady to the writer a few days ago, "they are so horribly selfish." Not a bit of it, dear; the young men of Lexington appreciate the fact that this is Leap Year and they are only waiting for you to propose. The Dispatch acknowledges the receipt of a very interesting book from ?. Congressman Lever?the Congressional Directory of the 60th Congress. This book contains a world of information and is a valuable addition to our library. Mr. Geo. R. Keister, editor of the Colombia Record, was here for a short while yesterday.

Those who have had business with the Railroad Commission will testify that I have ever been ' ready to discharge the duties of my office fearv lessly, inpartially, and to the best interests of the people of South Caro. lina, aBd that I have always been courteous to those desiring informa.tion and relief. I am the only Railroad Commis-aiivner who hne mnvpd to Polnmhiq. to t DAViAVIi fTMV MMV v T v v> Vv % ^ be in daily touch with the work of the office. DnriDg my term of office I have inspected personally every line of railroad in the State, often walking cross-ties that I might be assured that the condition of the roadbeds and : trestles were^afe. I have been often in every county in South Carolina, looking "into the conditions of the stations, and improving the conveniences of the tra veling public. I have stood for lower freight and passenger rates, better schedules, and safer modes of travel. The handsome majority you gave me formerly has always been appre. ciated, and has been an incentive to . a faithful performance of my duties. I hope to have your support in the * coming election, and shall strive to *ever render you faithful service. JRespectfullv, BANKS L, CAWKMAN, . ^ 1 irr.i Bound Over to Higher Court. D. A.
