The real prohibitionist has no liquor, wants no liquor and believes it is wrong to either have it or want it. Moat of these imitation prohibitionists have liquor?and therefore do not want that commodity? but they do want something else, so they yell "down with liquor." The something else they want is political advancement and power?and they ure going after it. In South Carolina some of the most ardent "prohibitionists" of today voted for and helped Tillman foster u bar-room across the threshold of every South Carolina home?not so many years ago. They bought votes with dispensary "licker"' and made no bones about it, sending wagon or buggy loads to country polls on election day. Yet?today, when prohibition is a present issue, these fakirs jump on the "big side" and yell "down with licker," while in their hearts they know that they want a tiny drop now and then, and have never taken the trouble to swear out u warrant against their own private boot-leggers. Public show and privute practice are two different things, it seems! When a man drinks tea with the W. {', T. U. and then goes around the corner and arranges for the delivery of a case of High Kxplosive he falls into the class of "prohibitionists" we have in mind; and the country is full of them. And if A1 Smith was not a Catholic they would not worry about his ideas "M prohibition that is. in their hearts, although we doubt not that they would continue to use their tongues to talk prohibition 'by day and to lap up liquor by night. .Marion Star. Broken in health and with but a small portion of a once moderate fortune, lom Harrison, f>l, lifelong resident of (i reeiivi lie died Friday morning at the city hospital at^er a career "l turmoil which frequently put him at odds with authorities, but which left him practically unscathed by the hand of the law until his com lctiun in 1'ederal court this spring of violating the old revenue act. He was awaiting transfer to the Atlanta penitentiary when he was taken ill and never recovered. Only two people visited him at the hospital in his last moments -whereas he had formerly numbered hundreds as his friends. 1 lied several years ago for the murder of his wife and the desperate wounding of n man with her at the lime he was convicted of manslaughter and later secured a new trial and was acquitted after a most sensational hearing. Harrison was never swerved from his chosen path hut IM'rsisted in the face of prosecution t<> defy the law and finally engaged :n secret warfare with others of his kind which proved his downfall. Struck by a bolt of lightning that came from a small cloud overhead as ho was walking with his father and brother near his home in the Traveler's Rest section of Greenville County, Charlie Buford Poole, nine years old, was instantly killed about three o'clock last Friday afternoon. The victim was carrying a hoe i.i one hand and a file in the other, and this fact was considered as the |h>s>ible explanation of tho fact that neither father or brothe.r was :iurk After having served more than 2t years of a life term sentence, Henrj Fields, negro, of <k?orgvW>wi. ot Beaufort county, was granted a pa role Friday by Governor Richards am left the prison fnrm where he h:u recently b. on employer!.

Kill Old Weevils Now Sayx Hanker Farmer Mr. Farmer;?Every farmer iu Kershaw County known what result to expect if he fails to clean out the small grass ami weeds no v.* i? his fields. Knowing it is absolutely necessary, all are now working early ami laic to' kill the grass and weeds while little, and before side application of soda or lop dresser is applied. We know if we don't get the grass It will get our fertilizer?calling for more hard work to kill it. Every farmer in 'Kershaw -County wants to make a good crop of cotton. Most of us need to make a goyd crop, l ulling to get a good yield per acre, most of us will find it impossible to jmy our debts und will huve no money for any purpose. As I see it, we must make a good crop of cotton this time, if possible, and if we let the boll weevil destory it without doing our utmost to prevent it by killing him when we first find him in our fields we have not done our full duty. Certainly, failing to make a good yield of cotton, we are in for most serious trouble. We all know and every one will admit that if all old weevils coming out from winter quarters could be killed befora laying any eggs in the small squares, we would not produce a swarm of young weevils to destroy our cotton. T he sensible thing for every farmer to do is to kill every old weevil it \a possible to kill as soon as found coming into his fields. This can be done by poisoning spots in fields where weevils are found if poison is kept on these spots until all weevils come out. The cost is practically nothing. You only need u half gallon bottle costing fifteen cents or twenty cents and a little sprinkler fitting in bottle as a cork costing $1.00 per dozen, or ten c6nts each. You can make the mixture with 10 gallons of water, 4 pounds calcium arsenate and onehalf to one gallon cheap molasses. By poisoning spots where weevils aie first found and keeping poison on the little cotton, the cost is practically nothing and every farmer in Kershaw County can do it?should do it. Glad to show you our bottle aad can get sprinklers for you or tell i 3 ou where you can get them at $1.U'J jH-r dozen. I<i t s kill the old weevils?every one of them we can kill?and avoid having young weevils hatch out to destroy our cotton and our neighbors cotton as well. 1 i nipt Hetion is necessary as you Will most likely soon be finding weevils in your cotton and a good j fight may moan bales of cotton per plow to every one who kills his old weevils. JOHN T. MACK FY New Dollar BUfsl'o Come In Fall Washington, 1). C., May 24.?The : yar 1028 will mark the first change i in size of paper money since 1K61. I For mouths the Bureau of Engraviing and Printing, the greatest print shop in the world, will l>e busy making new ami smaller $1 bills so tliat upon some fixed day next fall they may be issued simultaneously over the country und the old ones retired at one swoop, to be redeemed, of course, upon demand. Notes of other denominations will be printed and will be put in circulation probably in 1020. 1 he new notes will be G 5-lG by 2 11-16 inches whereas the notes now in circulation ?r 7 7-16 hy d 1-8 inch's. By the change the government expects to save $2,000,000 annually. Hie reduction in sixe of the bills is expected to increase the capacity of the Bureau of Engraving and Print. mg by ISO ju-r cent because twelve of the smaller notes can be printed at one impression upon the same press which now prints but eight. Through the change in size the bills will he made more convenient to handle .md will also bo more durable. 1 he new notes will slip into * billfold or pocket. :t is claimed, without crens) ing or folding, and for this reason r are expected to have much longer life than those now in use. The life - of the average bill is not more than 1 six or seven months, treasury o/fi.1 cinls say. Folding is one of the chief items cutting short the life of paper money. 1 Robert Wingo, who died of gunshot f wounds in the army in Panama, is 3 (?reer young man whose mother, Mrs M.

E. Reeves, Chester; C. A. Plyler, Hickory. General routine of business was. discussed by the different store managers, with practically every man j claiming that this year's business was showing u good gain over lust. While; funning conditions were unfavorabk on account of so much rain, most I managers stated that the farmers' have made great speed catching up! during the past two weeks, some claiming to be working by moonlight. 1 he Eftrd annual chain sale was discussed with much interest and it was decided to commence this annual event at all Eftrd stores on Friday morning, June 1st, und us usual con-1 tinue the entire mouth of June. A contest was decided on between, t he different store managers, each 1 manager picking him out another' manager to beat. After which all stores were about equally divided upi into two sides, each side selecting a | captain and u lieutenant, great en-! thusiasm was worked up and this I promises to be the best of all the j Eftrd chain sales. In addition to the contest between managers, it was decided that each store should divide up its salespeople into two divisions and^ offer a prize to the winning side. Eftrd Brothers explained that more merchandise has been bought at special prices for this sale than ever bclore and on account of so much overproduction by manufacturers they were able to buy the best merchan-! | diae at almost their own prices and I j that twenty-one car loads have al-' ready been assembled in the Charlotto warehouse und divided up and is now on its way to the different Efird's stores, in addition to the hundreds of direct shipments: i A Church in Politics Apparently but one voice was .raised in the convention of the Southern ; Baptists against a resolution pledging their Church, in effect, to \ote against Governor Smith if he is n.?m| muled for the' presidency. The >ole delegate who objected did so on the ground, not that he was for the gov! ernor, and not thfct he was a wet, but because the action of the convenjtion would "inject the Baptist organization into politics," and thus would violate one of the fundamental principles of our government and of the ( hurcb itself. One can imagine the furious outcry which would he raised by Baptists both north and south, and by Methodists, Presbyterians, and all other Protestant denominations, if any assembly of the Catholic Church were to take a similar stand for or against any political party, or any possible candidate f?w the presidency. It would be said that it was an attempt to undermine the very foundations of our goveriunent. But the Baptists ioL Chattanooga seem to J think that it is right arid commendi able for them to do w&at they would violently coudumn in the Catholic Church. Happily, the resolutions adopted arc not binding on the conscience of any Southern Baptist. They do not in the least mean that the voting members of the Southern Baptist Church will cast their ballots for the republican nominee. The distinctive theory of the. Baptist Church is the entire independence of the local congregation. It is a law unto itself. is not required to accept dictation from a bishop or a hierarchy. Not oven n general convention has power to bind or loose a separate Baptist church, much less the individual members thereof. Hence it cs to be expected that after the motions have been gone through of an appeal toy the national conventions of the two political parties, all Baptists will te61 free to follow their own individual and private judgment. When they are not compelled to submit even in questions having to do with faith and moralhv it is not; probable that they will meekly acquiesce when told how to vote, even if the direction comes fr?Mn a defeated public man* like Mr. Upshaw of Georgia. It was he who characteristically exhorted the Baptists at Chattanooga to support the "restrained and! dignified indictment of a cocktail candidate for the White House."?New York Times..

Doctor Murdered By Bank Robbers Dighton, Kas., May 26.?Fleeing before armed posses aided by two airplanes, the four desperadoes who ( Wednesday ahol down two officers ox the First National Hank, of Lamar, Colo., today killed l>r. W. W. Wineinger, Dighton, and E. A. Kessinger, assistant cashier of the bank, whom i they abducted last night. The killers, hotly pursued, were reported to be in the vicinity of Modoc, j Kans., after u mad flight over the | western Kansas prairies. The body of l>r. Wineinger, lured j away from home last night supposed- j ly to dress the wounds suffered by i one of the robbers in a gun fight in j the bunk, was found 25 miles south j of Oakley, Kas. He had been shot in the head with ' u shot gun and apparently tossed over : an embankment at the bottorrt of ; which his motor car was found. The j body was brought here. More than 400 heavily armed men ; in motor cars continued the hunt for i the desperadoes, assisted by the air- , planes. Lieutenant Reavls, Lowry field, j Denver, scoured the countryside by I air and dropped notes to the possemen as the chase proceeded. The pursuers were prepared for a pitched battle as it was thought the killers would fight to the last to pre- j vent being taken. The bandits were; reported to be armed with a machine ; gun. | Sheriff L. E. Alderman, of Lamar,! arrived ty?re early today by airplane, and organized the search. The robbers were believed to have' in their possession $10,000 in cash and an equal amount of Liberty bonds taken in the raid on the Lamar bank. A. M. Parish, president of the in- ' stitution, and his son, John Parish, the cashier, were shot and killed during the holdup. The younger Parish ' wounded one of the raiders in the arm and in the side. Automobile drivers under the law are supposed to have passed the tinhorn stage but to hear them playing at all times of night, as well as day, with their new fangled fuss-makers, causes one to think that they are but children after all, and thoughtless ones at that. It wouldn't be so bad if they were considerate enough to soft pedal when they coove within the hospital zones, but it looks like they wait until they reach the quiet spots to create their greatest din.?Florence News- Review.
