Dr. Howard Lee Jones Says Prohibi tion in Charleston Would be a Farce. Charleston, July 26.-Rev. Dr. Howard Lee Jones, the able and elo quent pasto-r of the Citadel Square Baptist church, preached a sermon last night on "Prohibition a Force or a Farce,'' in whieh the scholarly rin ister advised against the support of prohibition in Charleston at this time. The sermon was probably the strongest support which could have been given to the anti-prohibition movement in Charleston. coming as it did from Dr.. Jones. Dr. Jones is himself a prohibitnist and only re cently preached a sermon in advo cacy of prohibition in Berkeley coun ty and will make similar addresses else.where during the present cam paign, showing that in taking the po sition that he 3oes in Charleston he is acting along the line which he con sidrs best for the cause and best for the community. In his sermon Dr. Jones made the distinction between the idealism of prohibition in the elimination of strong drink from the social life and the practical phase of the situation, taking care to answer the criticism of those who argue that prohibition does n,ot accomplish all that it aims to do.

In the enforcement of prohibition as of any law, an intelligent and moral force is necessarv, Dr. Jones argued, and in Charleston lie said that he was forced to admit that the time was not ripe for a satisfactory en foecement of prohibition. The active and unanimous efforts of "blind tig ers" in working for prohibition, Dr. Jones said, evidenced a declaration on their part to make prohibition a farce and bring about a worse condi tion than now existed in Charleston in tihe liquor traffic in Cha.rleston. The lesser of the two evils was preferable. Dr. Jones declared, especially when the best sentiment of Charleston is now loking toward a stricter and bet ter enforcement of the present law on the statute books. Veneered 'Wood Industry Shows Rapid Growth. Washington. July 29.-During the year 1908, there were cut into veneer 382,542,000 feet b. m. of logs. valued at $7,891,000 as against 348.523,000 feet, valued at $6,436.000, in 1907, ac cording to statistics just published by the Bureau of the Census in coopera tion with the United States Forest Service. Althougr industrial condi tions generally were unfavorable dur ing the year 1908, the amount of wood cut into veneer increased, substantial gains being made in the quantity of both imported and domestic wood con sumed. This was due in a measure to the closer canvass in 1908, when re turns were received from 402 active establishments located in thirty-four states, as agaist 370 in thirty-one states, for the preceding year. Red gum, as in the preceding year, ranked first among the woods used for veneer, 119,945 feet being consumed, with a valuation of $1,272,096, form ing a percentage of 31.4 of the total consumption. The demand for, red gum was even greater than in 1907, when its percentage of the whole con sumption was 29.5. Among other woods, with the exception of yellow pine, which shows an important in crease, no great inerease is noted. 1 The principal woods imported for the industry were mahogany and Spanish cedar. Of the former 11,487 feet were used, with a valuation of $1,478,364, as against 6,722 feet with a valuation of $839,695 in 1907. The road to ruin is always kept in good repair.
