SENDING OUT STATEMENTS
Wo -are sending out statements
to some of our subscribers who
afe in arrears. We hope to
have a generous response
from each of them. We urg
ently need money to meet our
obligations in printing Tho
Messenger. We wish to make
this explanation at this time,
and it is this: The task of
mailing out statements is con
siderable and we are having
a clerk to do this for us. It
may be possible that errors
will be made, but they are not
intended. It is possible as we
canjiot give our personal at
tention to each statement that
a statement may go to some
one who has either paid for the
paper, or some one whose
friends arc sending it and the
account should not have Kono
to thom. These errors possi
bly would occur were we per
sonally making out these ac
counts, and should they be
made we will bo only too glad
to correct any of them. The
accounts are believed to bo
correct and we are sure but
few of them will be found
otherwise, but in handling so
many at a time, any one would
be liable to make an error.
Please let us have a response
promptly, and if you have not
received a statement from us,
please do not wait for the bill
to bo received, hut help us by
calling or sending in your re
mittance, so |that we may have
the use of tho money duo us
and save us the cost of mak
ing up and mailing ntatoments.

RAMBLING THOUGHT
By H. C. H.
A wet'6 a "wet",
A dry's a "dry";
They cannot 6ee
As eye to eye.
One of the interesting features of
the Wickersham Commission report is
the summing1 up of conditions before
prohibition, and political corruption
that existed at that time; also the
causes that led to the passage of the
18th Amendment.
Speaking of competition for busi
ness the "report" says: "Commer
cialized production and distribution,
under the economic order of the 20th
century, became a great evil".
No less an evil grew up through
the political activities and influence
of organizations of producers, work
ing through their local dependents.
The corrupting influence upon legis
lative and upon administration and po
lice in our large cities was conspicu
ous and growing. The steady pro
gress of state prohibition and local
'option was largely coincident with
^ the growing power of these organi
zations and due to public resentment
.there at."
"The saloons wore generally the
centers of political activity, aryd a
large number of saloon keepers were
local political leaders. Organized
campaign expenses of candidates for
National, State and local offices. They
were extensive a.'vertiers in the news
i papers. Laws and ordinances regu
latory of saloons were constantly and
I
notoriously violated in many locali
i ties.
The corruption of the police was
widespread. Commercialized vice and
gambling went hand in ha^id with
the saloons. When proceedings were !
taken to forfeit saloon licenses be- |
cause of violation of the law, it was j
a common practice of the brewers to
procure surety company bonds an.'
provide counsel to resist forfeiture.
The liquor organizations raise'.! Hr??e
funds to defeat the nomination or
election of legislators who opposed
their inteiest. The liquor vote was
the largest unified, deliverable vote."
You see folks; corrupting public of
ficials and polieem?n, is not a chil.
of prohibition. It always has V>een ?
common practice of the liquor crowr
Yet, the "wet's" say that prohibitior
ought to be abolished because it i
ruining the morals of a few official
who are crooks ? at heait ? to start
with. Politicians; morals. Hurrumph!
Kaff, kaff- as Major Hoople would
say.
| Remember this, folks, the "dry's"
are not responsible for the rottenness
| that the "wet's" claim now exists.
The "wet's" are the bribers.
| Automobiles killed 32,5'CO people
last year. If the bodies could be
placed side by side, they would cover
the ground for a distance of 9 miles';
placed end to en:i they would reach
from Camden to Columbia.
Mr. Raskob had n perfect right
to bolt the- Democratic party in 189f>,
Wilson and Cleveland did the same
thing. Mr. Raskob had perfect right
to return to the party any time that
he. saw fit. I admire him for his
dependence. AH voters should' enjoy
the same rights as the party leaders.
I am opposed to Mr. Raskob on ac
count of his wetness.
Madame Sylvia, German seer, pre
dicts troublesome days for America
this year. Shur, we don't need no
fortune teller to put us wise to that.
Hoven't we always got the United
States Senate, and the "wet" crowd
to keep the trouble pot bilin?
Politicians do not fear the native
vote; it is too pa? /e; but. they do
fear the alien vo because it is ag
gressive. Party regularity means
nothing to the alien vote unless the
parby principle agree with what the
aliens want. Yeah, the aliens come
mighty near to ruling this country.
They don't a^k for what they want,
they demand it, and get it. What
they want is seldom the thing that
you want. Difference in racial views
Just keep on sleeping; and it won't
be long until the alien telta you
"where to ^ot off".
He'tter think that over, and then
act. I
A Iliindlc of Old Letters
It, was only a bundle of letters,
Much faded' and stained by the years,
Ihit they brought to my mind recol- j
lertion,
That left, my eyev swimming in tcirs. j
As f thought of the dear one who
wrote them.
The parting that cause! so much piin,
The "r u rtain" was lifted a little,
And T saw her wwoot faro nn^e again, j
I
?So clearly I saw her before mo,
I held out my arms, hut in vain;
The "curtain" descended, and hid hor,
While the tears hegan falling like
rain.

"When I was a child, if I did
not feel well, or if I had a cold,
my mother gave me Black
Draught," 8ay8 Mrs. Orpha
Hill, of Wofford, Ky. "When I
was married, it became a fami
ly mecL.v,ine in my own home,
aa it was in my mother's.
"I take it for headache and
especially for constipation.
\Vnen I get bilious, my skin
gets yollow and I have a very
bad taste in my mouth, and a
drowsy feeling all during the
day. My eyes burn and I pet
dizzy, or my head is 'swim

Draught, it seems to drive the
impurities out of my syntem

fulfill such a responsible position. Mr
Hough possesses' a personality that
restores a prisoner's confidence, has
a kind word for every one, making
them as comfortable as possible. After
their daily work is over he watches
carefully, every link in the chains,
also goes thru their clothing to detect
any weapon that the prisoner might
have obtained" during the day. He is
a cons, ientious worker. When a
prisoner is in his charge, he examines
the soles of his shoes, also inside of
band on hat, and lining of clothes,
looking for a file or saw. There isn't
a day that passes, but what he gives
the convict cages a thorough examina
tion, looking for any technicality that
might have occurred dtiring the night,
at which time, most of these desper
ate convicts do their work. As a
rule, they are clever men to deal
with. Some of the convicts, under
Mr. Hough's jurisdiction, are exceed
ingly desperate, and would kill any
one, as quick as a twinkling of an
eye, if they could get the chance. All
t theny think of is escape. There are
| men in Mr. Hough's charge, that are
jon for murder, safe breaking, house
] breaking, assault and battery with
i intent to kill, and many others are
;on for slight offences such as steal
ing chickens, fighting, boot legging,
and gambling.
Mr. Hough has n quiet, unassum
ing nature, and will take a lot of a
buse and hardship on his shoulders;
he is exceedingly pood nature;!, and
j has a fine Jispositir.n. It takes a
jwhole lot to anger him. I said he
,fore his duties are to look after the
| prisoners from sail down to sun up.
He is called, by all that know him.

he was "day man" as well as "ni'^ht

starts about 0 a. m. until 1:30 P. M.
It is remarkable what Mr Hough
stands in the way of long hours of
work. His rest ;s broken up time
i , 1
and time again, during the day, and
yet, you never hear him complain.
Kverythinfc has to go thru his h ind
during tho day, such as checking up
on gas and oil, receiving new priso
ners, looking after the mail, exam
ining the steel cages, meeting any j
men that happen to come at the cani|i j
m business, taking a sick convict to
tho doctor, taking a convict to town |
when hi* time expires, carry \ lie pris
oners their dinners and many other j
odd jobs around' camp t' O numerous ?
to mention: How Mr. Hough man
agm to keep healthy with all the (
duties that are required of him is |
really a mystery, for it looks to me
like a man's jol> alone to watch over
fifty prisoners staying Up all night,
night after night, an<l performing the j
duties that h^ is required to do dur |
ing the day. A man, wilh t he qual
i ities and persever??:vre that Mr. Hough
I possesses, is x cre<lit to an/ common .
ity. I !o rot rec all at amy time, .
since Mr. Hough lias taken over the
fight, wal h, of liis losing a prisoner,
Which proves he cet tainly ha's his
eyes open at all times. Kershaw coun
ty should he proud of a man with
such unfailing qualities.
