E. U. AULL. EDITOR.
Entered at the Postoffice at New
_ern. S. C., as 2nd class matter.
Friday, December 20, 1907.
TWELVE PAGES.
The Herald and News, today, prints
a twelve-page paper. This is done in
order to accommodate the demand
for advertising space and at the
same time not to reduce tire full quota
of reading matter whieh we give to
-our subscribers.
Last Friday we printed a sixteen
page paper and today we make it
twelve pages. We will print again
next Tuesday but there wsll be no pa
per on Friday. It has been our cus
tom since The Herald and News was
made twice a week to omit one issue
during the Chirstmas holidays so
that the editor and printers and oth
ers connected with the office might
have a little respite from their daily
routine.
We trust that all of our readers
may have a happy and pleasant
'Christmas and a prosperous new
year.
WILL WE HAVE PROHIBITION?
We publish in another column to
dday, an analysis, so to speak, of thre
present legislature on prohibition,
written by Mr. James Hoyt for the
Tews and Courier.
XMr. Hoyt gives 'tre decisive votes
of the lgislature last winter when
'this question was up for discussion.
He also shows what counties have
-voted out the dispensary under the
'local option law since the adjourn
ment of the legislature and what
'counties apparently seem to be satis
'ied with the county dispensary plan.
Ordinarily and under ordinary con
'ditions his analysis and his conclu
sions might be correct.
It should be remembered that the
vote in the last session of the l'egisla
ture was not a prohibition or an an
ti-prohibition expression, for as
stated in the analysis by Mr. Hoyt,
'a number of prohibitionists voted
'against a prohibition ~bill and practi
'cally all of the dispensary advocates
voted for a prohibition bill. In ad
dition to this it should be remember
~ed that a great many who vot'ed for
-the Carey-Cothran bill did so as a
means of abolishing the state dis
pensary rather t-han as an expression
of their views on the qurestion of pro
hibition or anti-prohibition.
Just how they will vote in the ap
proaching session bf course no one
'can tell. We have heard several
members who come from counties
nyhere a local or county dispensary
seems to be giving satisfaction 'say
that they expect to vote for a
straight state prohibition measure.
G'here are others from counties in
'which there is now prohibition and
twko voted for the Carey-Cothran
bill who will vote for state prohibi
'tion.
>Anot;her view of this question is
that the impression prevails,
-and we are inclined to think that it.
'is correct, that a majority of the
'people of South Carolina if OTven an
'opportunitty would vote for a state
'prohibition law. Thgre are always
-'hose who like to be in the majority
-and if one takes a position that the
state should be the unit on the ques
tion of whiskey and is satisfied that
a majority of the people of the state
favor prohibition then it is proper
that as a representative 'endeavoring
to carry out the wishes of the people
-in the state in the enactment of laws
for their government h-e should vote
~for prohibition.
Of course it is difficult to forecast,
just what will be the result, but we
'are inclined to the opinion that if
'the prohibitionlists and those who
care willing to vot'e with them in the
'approaching session can agree upon
some measure and unite in 'support
>of it that there will be a state prohi
'bition law enacted at the approach
'ing session of the -general assembly.
It is now only a few days until
Christmas and very soon another
*vear will close.
The Herald and News wants once
more to call attention of our out'-of
4the-county subscribers to the state
ment which has heretofore been
made.
We hope you have been waitingz
'to respond in ordfer that you mig"ht
make your response something of a
'Christmas present for the editor. At
'least we trust you will let us hear
-from you before the end of the year.
We shall rezret exceedinzly to be
'for?ed to part company with any of
'te old friends of The Herald andl
News and it is for you to say what
-you desire and that must be said by
WANTS LICENSE.
Charleston Will Present Petition to
Next General Assembly.
A movement is on foot in Char
leston to memorialize the legisla
ture at its next session to restore
the iincense system in Charleston,
and with that end in view the follow
ing petitions are being circulated in
Charleston for signatures:
"To the Honorable, the Senators
and Representatives, the General As
sembly of the State of South Car
olina in regular session for the year
1908: The humble petition of the un
dersigned respectfully shows:
"That the dispensary system for
the saie of liquors in the county of
Charleston, in said state, in which
your petitioners reside, is not desir
ed by a large mapority of the voters
and residents of said county, as your
petitioners verily believe.
"That the same is not suited to
the needs, circumstances and con di
tions of the people mostly affected
thereby.
"'That for. these reasons the said
system is not supported by public
sentiment. difficult to enforce and not
calculated to demand observance or
respect.
"That your petitioners humbly
pray that such legislation may be
enacted as shall 'restore the license
systeni to this community which was
of force at the time f the original
enactment of the state dispensary
law in the year 1892 with the modi
fications required by the state con
stitution of 1895; and your petition
ers feel assured that thereby will
be secured not only all the benefits
that could possibly be expected from
the dispensary system now of force,
but the same would operate also for
the well being and upbuilding of our
people."
Your estimate of others is often a
verdict of yourself.
Virginian Kills His Bride.
Roanoke, Va., December 18.-A
special to the Times from Marion,
Va., says:
Wm. Moody, living about three
miles from Marion, this afternoon
shot and killed his wife and then
committed suicide. The weapon used
was a double-barrelled shotgun and
the do.uble tragedy was enacted at
the Moody home. No cause has been
assigned so far for the crime. The
couple had been married only a few
months.
The venomous tongue can not cov
er its guilt by calling it candor.
Complimented Tillman.
New York World.
When Senator Tillman concluded
his speech in the senate today he
turned and walked out of the cham
ber. In the doorway he met John
Wesley Gaines coming in. Of course
John had not heard a word of the
speech, but he is never at a loss.
"My congratulations, Senator,''
he cried, grasping Tillmnan 's hand.
"It was a noble effort; it recalls the
traditions of I)aniel Webster and
Eenry Clay. I was enthralled, .sir,
nthralled!"'.
Tillman thanked him, highly elat

Not to Be Discharged..
When the jury had filed in for at
east the fourth time, with no sign
f coming to an agreement in the
>ribery case the disgusted judge rose
p and said:
"I dise'harge th~e jury!''
At this one sensitive talesman,
stung to the quick by this abrupt
md ill-sounding decision obstinately
;aid:
"You can 't discharge me, judge?''
e retorted.
"Why not?'' asked the astonished
judge.
"'Because,'' announced the tales
