K. Moore, west of the Southern station. One of the boys had left the house by way of the cellar and was overtaken by the officers. The two other boys* were caught inside the building. The three were arraigned before Mayor Patterson Monday and convicted, but the sentences were suspended upon condition that the youngsters attend school regularly during the remainder of the term and otherwise behave themselves. 0 . , t" . 1 I I.

Why Prohibition Failed. Editor The Times: If you will permit me, I should like to say in reply to the communication in the last issue of the Yorkville Enquirer, signed "Voter," that it is not fair to indict the entire membership of the general assembly for the senate's failure to pass at this session which ended last week a cleaiycut, state-wide prohibition measure. Such a measure was introduced in the house early in the session and we passed it by an overwhelming vote and sent it to the senate. Of course I voted for the bill, as I have voted for every prohibition bill that has come up for passage in the house in rny four years' service as a representative. The trouble was not with the house. The bill stood very little show af passage in the senate. This I was able to learn from several conversations I have had with the senator who is generally accepted as the prohibition leader in that body. He isn't the sort of Prohibitionist I would look to for the passage of the kind of prohibition bill our people are demanding. When the Prohibitionists of South Carolina wake up and put a real Prohibitionist in charge of their legislation in the senate, then the State will be given a prohibition law?that is, if he is a man of enough sense and tact to succeed as a leader.
