If the South Carolina Legisla-1 ture should at its 1914 meeting hear the prayer of the Prohihitionists and order a State-wide election on Prohibition we would expect to see the State go dry. In the county elections held last August, even in those counties which voted to re-establish the dispensaries the winning margins were small, and were a cronor'.ll ulantin* U..1 J i.

Reports of the success of the York county fair held last week would seem to indicate that there is little doubt of the fair becoming an annual event in the county. By the time for the next fair the association doubtless will have secured an enclosed ground, with more space for the various exhibits, and the people will take even more interest than that manifested this year. The fair of last week, while a much bigger affair than was expected by even the promoters, was merely a preliminary of what the future fairs are to be. " The postal department would 1 do well to take into account the case of those who are paying the present third class rates on their reading material. There j are few articles sent that are' more easily handled, that are not likely to cause trouble to the postal clerks or to damage other packages. If other rawilc nan be carried at low rates, theri seems no reason for making an exception of books. And it would be in the interest of education to afford the cheapest and best facilities for the distribution ol literature. Up to the close of last week twelve South Carolina counties had asked for the convicts employed in the hosiery mill at the State penitentiary, which is soon to cense operations. It is supposed that the authorities of th?* counties desiring the convicts see where they can work the prisoners profitably and, granting this to be the case, why should York county not hire some of the convicts. There is not a county in the the State where the men could possibly find more work to do on the roads than in York. The commissioner of public BChools of Rt ode Island la* issued through the department of education, some oirrnlnra in regard to the civic work done by the schools. The Cumberland Civic Guards were organized three years ago, and each child takes the following pledge: "I promise to do all I can to promote cleanliness, beauty and order in our town." Civic guards are being formed in other school districts of the State and other States. Why not here? The farmer who went to sleep ten years ago, waking up now, has to learn many new things. He is ten years behind the times. The farmer today is ten years behind the time of the farmer ten years hence. For this reason it behooves every man to be awake to the present opportunities and to look as far into the future as he is able to do. The automobile plow and mower are almost in sight. A brother editor ?ays, and you know editors always tell the truth, that a 16-year-old- school girl who goes out on the street at night wearing a latest si .vie skirt is one who is apt to need watching, especially if her mother is not by her side. Such girls used to be sent to bed at eight o'clock, and whatever we may 4.1.^i* a. 1 1 i _p .i ? *. L11111IV Ul LilL OJU Hl.yUMJl COHdUCC, in this resect, the old style is the Lest still. The New York Herald tells of an innovation in thAt city a few days ago when the parting folds of the skirts of several women promenaders disclosed monkeys "worked in" the ladies' stockings near the calf line. The fad of monkeys on stockings has not reached this section yet, but the same cannot be said of monkeys in stockings. The man who believes in thirteen being an unlucky number certainly has some reason for his belief when this year is con- j sidered. at least from a corn production standpoint. In case Mr. McCravey makes the race for the Senate next year, we do not imagine the hand-set papers will find it necessary to employ w. f. figures to record his vote. t a. v i m/irc i t o i L.C.VILO run ?y IU.
