( Tuesday, March 11, 1913. i l i t If the Webb law should make all the < prohibition counties really prohibition, 1 it would be a great law, for it would I "* ?munv an-pflllftd i*t>i me okinsvi n.j ui ww ~ ^ ^ t "* prohibitionists. As we read the law g and apply it to the law of South Caro- ( lina, we do not see how any liquor for s ' any use what?.\er can be shipped into: < prohibition counties. If it is, it will j be in violation of this federal statute, j j. The court may construe the law differ- j t ently, but if the English lan-! t guage means what it says; 3 counties will n lll^u Cfcii ? be prohibition in fact as well as in! c name. Then will the test be made, j whether or not the prohibitionists : really want prohibition. We know there are many really sincere prohibitionists, but there are many so-called c prohibitionists, w?o only want prohi- < bitfon for the other fellow, and are i ] prohibitionists only so long as they t Mn nrder all thev want for personal i ""** " j use. Use the split log drag just a little 1 "before you begin plowing,, and natural; ly before you begin hauling fertilizer, and you have no idea what a money- j maker it will prove for you. * ' j I "With all his faults and possible j 2 weaknesses, Attorney General Lyon j did show some common sense in appointing as his assistant an attorney: of recognized ability.

This is an entirely voluntary and uncalled for fling and does injustice to Attorney General Peeples and Mr. Dominick and does not help Mr. Lyon or Mr. DeBruhl. So far as "recogniz-i J ed ability" goes Mr. Dominick has as t i I much as Mr. DeBruhl had or has, and this is not intended to detract from Mr. DeBruhl in the least. Mr. Dominick Lr-: had fourteen years' experience at the bar at Newberry, and has been very successful, and we suspect enjoyed as large and as lucrative practice as did Mr. DeBruhl when he left * Abbeville. i They have a get-to-gether club in Greenwood. Wonder if we could form a club like that in Newberry with one member. We believe it was Bill Arp I who went out in an old field just about the beginning of the war and tried to disband, and he couldn't. It maybe that it would take more than an old field for one man to get together in .Newberry, though there may be at least one patriot left, who will undertake to iorm a get-to-gether club in the good old town of Newberry. We will be very glad to assist him in any way within our power, if he will make the effort. We notice that Gov. Blease's chaurfeur has been arrested in Columbia for exceeding the speed limit of the town !| and fined $3.75, and the governor's private secretary paid the fine. The governor says if the police authorities do not remit the fine he will pardon every man convicted in the recorder's court.' Of course, we know that the governor i is not subject to arrest, but when you T?. +V10+ +"h a. cnaail 1 i y-?-i if -ti 0/-?

There is no doubt in our mind that i { every automobile that runs down Main street exceeds the speed limit every time the machine is run down the street, or up it either, for that! matter, and we presume the governor has taken the notion that this arrest was a blow aimed at him personally, but "would it not have been better to teve paid tke fine without a kick andj hen insisted that the law be enforced | vitliout fear or favor or the show of my partiality. We have often marveled at tne iact i I hat there were no more accidents in Columbia than there are, because there s no doubt that the automobies run my where from twenty to forty milee he hour on all the streets of the iity, and there seems U) be no one to nolest or make afraid. The wonder s that there are so few accidents. We -'J > 1 V.O/.V )rGl6T ine OiU Ui Uft-CU UU n U uava he automobile, on account of, the >peed. , What has become of the machine that the city bought to trail the speeders and demonstrate the actual >ped of automobiles. In Newberry the speed limit fixed >y statute is six miles the hour, ana ;here is scarcely a machine in tne ;own that ever goes as slow as six / niles the hour, and yet we have never leard of an arrest for exceeding the >peed limit. Possibly the police are lot familiar with that particular ordilance of the city. The Greenwood Journal says that for i third time the grand jury has recI )mmended that the county jail be re-1 paired. That is nothing. For at least :en years the Newberry grand jury las recommended the Newberry jail >e repaired and made sanitary. If our egislatur^ made any provision for it his year we have not observed it In tie reports of that august body. The jrand jury has about forgotten that it nade any recommendations. The Anderson Mail remarks that a luitable man should now throw his iat in the ring for lieutenant governor, that's the matter with "Wilson G. larvey, of Charleston? He is a mighty ine fellow, and has lots of friends all >ver South Carolina, and would make t interesting for any other fellow who night get in that race.
