"Water Tight" Act To Be Ad
vocated
The Slate, Monday
Statewide organization, to urgt
the passage of a "water tight*
prohibition law, is to be effected
at the rally of the "dry" force*
at the Jefferson hotel tomorrow
night at 8 o'clock. The central
committee has been active in
urging representation from all
sections of the State. Meeting;
will probably be held in man)
of the counties todhy to seleci
delegations for the Columbia
meeting.

the cantaloupes and watermelons
the tarmers are to grow in
this section this year, and we
are made to wonder if some of
the prospective growers are get
ting cold feet. , Watermelons
have been grown for the local
markets tor so many years that
this part of the program will be
an experiment only in regard to
the shipping. Cantaloupes have
been grown only in a very limited
way, and probably very few
farmers know how to fertilize
and cultivate to get best results.
Cantaloupes may be fine in ap
pearance and still be of a very
poor quality. We are told that
the cultivation has as much to
do with this as anything else.
Farmers who expect to grow
cantaloupes for the market
should learn all they can about
them before planting time, A

We understand that a petition
has been circulated over the
county asking the legislature to
retain the rural police system for
Chesterfield county. We have
not seen the petition and do not
know what it asks for. But if it
asks for the retention of the
present rural police system, we
feel that this was a needless effort.
This system was estab
lished through the efforts of
Representatives Odom and Rivers
two years aaa. we beligyo,<
cry from'many sections of the
county when the change was
made from constable to rural
policeman. Then at the follow
ing session of the legislature a
bill was passed to refer the mat
ter to a vote of the people of the

Democratic primary held August
29, 1916. The vote was 1465
for the system, 1804 against it.
By their ballots a majority of the
voters in the county said do
away with the system. Chesterfield
county's representatives in
the present legislature are proba
blv brave men, but they are not
brave enough to retain this system
and come back and ask for
the votes of the people whose
expressed wish they ignored.
We are told that a system will
be given us whereby there will
be a police officer in each township
with the same powers as
the present officers who are required
to cover two or more
townships. We have no definite
information in regard to the
matter, however, and, of course
can't say whether this will be
done or not. It seems to us
though that a system of this

Three of the prohibition billt
pending in the senate come lit
for debate tomorrow morning
when the calendar is cleared ol
third reading bills. One of these
by Senator 'DuRant of Claren
don county would reduce the
monthly allotment of whiskey tc
one quart. One sharp distinc
tion between this bill and the
present law is that women, ex
cept the heads of families, would
be excluded from eligible lists
for shipment.
Two other bills would nol
change the "gallon a month"
law as to the amount obtainable,
but would allow substitute shipments
of beer. Each would al
low 60 pints. The bill by Sena
tor Hughes would admit the
shipment of beer with an alcoholic
content of 5 per cent.
Senator D. Reece Williams of
Lancaster would allow the importation
of beer, containing 2
per cent, of alcohol. The Williams
bill would also require a
pemit from the coumy clerk of
court before placing an order.
A straight prohibition bill, of
fered by W. R. Richey, Jr., of
Laurens, has been reported favorably
in the house.
February 11 Is South Carolina

Day
Sunday Schools of all denominations
in South Carolina are
expecting to observe Sunday,
February 11th, as "South Carolina
. Come-to-Sunday-school

you'll be lonesome", is the
slogan.
A Creed For All Mankind
By Edward Lansing Cowles.
I will do nothing to any hu
man soul which may become a
bitter memory in after years. I
will not stoop to low, mean
things. I will not think ill of
any human being. I will be
funny without resorting to
coarseness and strong without
being cruel. I will be ar cheerful
as I can be. I will play the
game of life fair and square,
hew to the line and take nothing
not honestly earned. I will
not buy things I know are beyond
my means. I will not offend
knowingly, become inti
maie with vulgarity or soil the
name of woman. I will look
men square in the eyes unflinchingly,
tell the truth in all things,
.study my weaknesses, profit by
mistakes. I will be willing to
forgive, slow to anger, calm in
my judgment, I will live clean
in mind und body, believe in the
sweetness of motherhood, the
tenderness and purity ot woman
and the sanctity of the home. I
will cultivate friendships?the
company of good women and
the manners of a gentleman.
