While a large majority of the people seem to consider the new Webb liquor law worthless in so far as helping the South Carolina officials enforce prohibition is concerned, this does not appear' to be the case. Under the law, , as pointed out by the Lancaster News, contraband liquor, or liquors intended for illegal purposes, can be seized before it goes into the hands of the con signee, indeed as soon as it arrives in this State, whereas before the enactment of the Webb law, under what was known as the interstate commerce law, it could not be seized until the common carrier had delivered it to the consignee, which was a great obstacle to the enforcement of the State liquor laws. This being the case, it appears to us that Governor Blease has made a grave mistake in his decision to call in all the State constables on Jnne 1. If a man had a fifty dollar pup he would look after it carefully and not let it have the run of the town day and night. But if he has a child it is different. They are turned loose at a tender age to go where they will and do what they please. People wonder where the great army of tramps, dead beats, gamblers, and disreputable women come from. They are germinated from the seed gathered in countless homes and sown broadcast upon the streets of our cities and towns. There are thousands of children who are heading in that direction, who. a.- f ir as care is oncerncd, are i or eiven equal s..owing with a valuable pup. The parcel post has come tc stay. Its use by the peopb will grow rapidly. And ther* should he a prompt response I thi* patronage on the paft o* the government in the way ox increased and improved facilities. This duty not only devolves upon the postuffice department but chiefly upon Congress, which should authorize and provide for hftore parcel post stations and cut such foolish restrictions as that which bars a book from the post while admitting a brick or a I cabbage. Fort Mill merchants and business men are liberal in their dealings and hold out inducements in both quality and price to draw trade. They advertise this fnrt nn?l uilwn nr.finlu mo they find things as advertised, and this, with the disposition to please are sure trade winners. This is why people are coming from other towns to trade. You can't keep them away. The Times hopes that every farmer-reader of this paper will read carefully the communication in this issue written by a Morriltown, Arkansas, banker and printed in a newspaper of that city. Eidence is more abundant each year that to make a success the farmer must break away from all cotton, and the Morriltown banker presents the argument in a most forcible manner. It is all light to blacklist the dealer who sells you worthless stuff, if you do not begin the Mmn hv *rndinof him \x-r?rfhUic-o ? j ?- ?? wi vmvtio stuff for it. Some of our younjf men are trying to stu?iv out how they ran support a 1913 wife on a 1901 v%*Nwry. Beautifying the Hill Villages. ^ Prof. J. L.
