CLINTON, S. C., THURSDAY, MAY 23, 1934 COLLEGE COMMENCEMENT Presbyterian college commencement beginning next Sunday morning with the baccalaureate sermon by one of its distinguished graduates and out standing leader of the Presbyterian church, is always an event of interest in this community. The list of candi dates for degrees is forty-six, and for the closing program a large number of here that public sentiment will be so strong against them that their oper ation will prove impossible. We should use our influence to keep liquor out of our town. An aroused public sentiment will do this very thing. The responsibility is upon the shoulders of our people, particularly fathers and mothers, to oppose the menace and the spectacle of liquor be of the flat rock churches next Sunday as the pastures gf both ^M^ches have went off on their reg^ular summer I vacations, and will not return back for 10 days, this will give the con- friends and relatives from all parts jitvg offered for sale right under the of-the .State will be4n the city.

Lauren.s county has voted against^ legalized liquor. It is a slap in thgface of the people that their decision has been disregarded and tha^. ho provis ion has been made for ideal option. If this community i.s cmfiosed to legaliz ing-liquor (its vdtc repeatedly has shown that it is) then the community have the right to decide the (piestion rather than the legislature delegating that power to itself. 10 Years Ago (terns of Interest From The Chronicle of May 21. 1925- Dr. ■ arfd Mrs. A.

API'ROVING AN EVIL South Carolina ha.s gone into the legalized licpjor business under a li cense sy.stem. We have the peculiar situation now of w'et leaders vitally interested in the passage of the meas ure appealing for an observance of the law. ■ As a general principle it is a dis grace to“ any people .to legalize that which is evil, to tolerate evil even for the sake of the inon<*y that may be secured. On the same basis, the gov ernment is as well justified in grant ing a license for stealing, murder and Delihar Rharne, son of Dr. and Mrs. D. O.

TURNS DOWN THE EXTR.A Representative .1. D.' Witherspoon, of this county, during the closing ses sion of the legislature on Satuinfay read and had printed a statement set ting forth his position in refusing to accept the extra jiay voted the mem bers of the two houses.

Any repre sentative who meddles in county af fairs as he does, who attempts to run the schools of 4he county, and especial ly Clinton, a.s he does, who sets him self up as a .sort of a general admin istrator for the county should have an enlarged remuneration for carrying the heavy burden he takes ui>on his- shoulders of saving the county for the “dear people.” We*M-ather think he is overworked and underpaid. . But then others are saying, if it took him 131 days to get a supply bill passed for the county probably he is already overpaid- when he receives the set remuneration of the office without the “extras.” There's a diversity of opinion.
