kThree
young white boys, who
it seems have during the last
few weeks committed several
acts of thievery, were on last
Sunday morning detected by the
police officers while in the act of
" robbing the small grocery store
of M. 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.

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.
