The Liquor Referendum
4 Ma
Kdilor C"?in don Chronicle ? "Tha
Dollar or The Man?", was ihe subject
of an address by Jorruef Governor
John G Richards by invitation at the
Firm Presbyterian church of I'uion,
S C , on a recent Hunduy. An extended
write up of his address by Allan
Nicholson was carried in a recent
issue of the "Union Dully Times",
from which we Klean some interesting
facts In reference to the approachiiiK
liquor referendum In the Democratic
prlmar) election We <|UOte:
' He said it was necessary for the people
of the state to express themselves
whether for or against, the- state's
engaging in the liquor business. Governor
Richards argued that If It Is
right to legalize and tax the sale of
liquor because the illicit sale cannot
be entirely prohibited, why Isn't it
right to legalize and tax other sinful
practices because they cannot he entirely
prohibited?. The legislature has
clearly raised the question of "the
dollar or the man", said Governor
Richards "The right thinking people
of the state will vote for the man.
Advocates of liquor do not consider
the vast amount of liquor that must
be consumed to raise the tax, nor
do they realize the greatly Increased
cost of the state through Increased
.crime, and Increase of insanity, nor
the death and destruction caused by
drukeii drivers, which Investigations
shows to have increased forty per
cent since the days of prohibition
Governor Richards said that in order
to raise the amount of tax colletted
1?> the state, the people had
to buy $ 19..197.3X9 worth of liquor.
A i\11 that according to agricultural
commissioner Jones the entire cotton
ctop of the state in 1939 brought only
$|o U.a.ooo. so it was seen there was
spent In South Carolina nearly half
of the entire cotton crop for liquor
last yeai .stiiue of itit-.it- tut* noir,,1
1 ii k facts. Very noar 120.000,000
thrown away Worse than wasted, by
tho people of the state Many of theui
on relief work. Many on old age as-1
distance Many without employment, j
Many without homes, and many with-1
out sufficient fi>od for two weeks.
Has liquor helped any one except
those who sell It? And thrive on the
weakness of others, while wives weep,
and the helpless suffer.
I can think of no worse evil to the
public ut large than the sulu and use
I of Intoxicating liquors. Men and wo|
men, think over those things before
j you vote in the liquor referendum oil
August 27th.
Am 1 My llrolhor's Keeper? Does
the sale of Liquor help to raise the
moral standard of our people? Is u
state endorsed liquor business a proper
legacy to leave for those who come
after its? And Is It a means of raising
or lowering the moral Ideas of
Lho ^oung? Does my action help or
nluflt/f'l-he social uplift??Contributed.
WAKE UP AMERICA
Hack In the days of tho World War
we had in this nation u "Wuko Up
America Week," There appeared to bo
need of It. Public sentiment had not
become acute to the needs of tho hour,
or to an appreciation of the fact that
the I'nlted States was In a war?and
that our participation was to be no
strawberry festival Hundreds, yes
thousands, of prominent citizens gave
up the week to traveling through the
country and addressing gatherings of
citizens.
The I'nlted States Is not at war today,
but wo have embarked upon a
program of defense that may well be
likened to our efforts In the World
War. It may be said In all fairness
that our response to conditions now
facing us Is even less gratifying than
It was in 1918. No one seems particularly
concerned or perturbed about
the present situation. If wo needed a
Wake I'p America Week In 1918 we
need two of them now.
Far too nfany of our citizens are
possessed of the idea that It can't
happen here?that regardless of what
lakes place In Europe the United
States will go on and on like the
river.
It is going to take three or four
years of intensive application of our
resources to build up a defense that
will assure the continuation of our
democracy against foes from without
and within. Oh yes, there are*foes
within and plenty of them?all a part
of the Hitler plan for our undoing.
At the present metnertt r10 i??<? thn?
3,#00.000 alien* are under surveillance,
and more are being added dally.
A political battle la now being waged
In Wuahlngton over the Burke
Wadaworth Military Training Bill In
thle battle any thought of national
patriotlaiu seem* to be lacking. The
defenae program along al). fronts la
being retarded beoauae of bickering
between departmenta and coin in isaiona.
There la no aemblance of patriotic
co-ordination, but rather Jookylug
for political advantage or the gratification
of petty jealouaiea.
It la a fact that If we are to have
un effective Army for defenae It must
be an army of trained men- -both
for the protection of the nation and
the protection of the men who fight.
Thousands of our aoldiera In the
World War met their deaths because
of the lack of adequate training No
one, or hardly no one, deslrea to be
a fighting man nor. cares to be conscripted
Into military training. By
the sume token we do not relish the
taxes that are to be Imposed because
of the defense program, or the long
hours that must be worked and the
other sacrifices to be made.
Despite ten years of depression, we
have been a pretty comfortable ua-v
tlon when compared with other nations
of the world. We like to think
of continuing us a comfortable uaiion
without any undue disturbance of our
personal manner of living but this
cannot be.
Serious, sober days lie ahead of
all of us. ItegardleHg of whether or
not we are forced Into war, wo must
prepare for war. To say that we will
do It gladly would be false. But to
say that we must do It patriotically
or be willing to sacrifice all that
American democracy means to us la
the truth. We need a revival of American
patriotism and we need It now
?not after war has reared Its ugly
head In our midst.
Yes. we must Wake Up America.?

Heavenly Railroad
5 Makes Final Trip
1 Due West, Aug 20.?The Due West
railway, "the most Christian railroad"
has made Its last run.
The Hrte. extending from Donalds
to Due West, a distance of four miles,
has been abandoned by permission of
the Interstate commerce commission.
The train, whose diminutive engine
had been used previously ou a New
York elevated, never run on Sunday
during Its career from 1907 to 1940,
except on onO "^Moasion and theu to
rush u man to k ttttffelMl. It never killed
or Injured an employee, passenger,
not even a tramp and never had an
accident.
Too, the operators never knowingly
hauled a drop of whiskey and the
road never faced a law suit.
In 'fact the charter of the line stated
no runs would be made ou Sundays,
except In emergencies, and that
no whiskey would be hauled.
Funeral Services
Charles W. Sanders
llagood, Aug. 19.?Funeral services
for Charles W. Sanders, prominent
Sumter county planter, who died at
his home, Shadye Hllle, laet Friday
were held at the Episcopal church or
the Ascension, Hagood, on Saturday
afternoon, AugflBT""T7, the Reverend
Alfred Qhambllsa officiating. The funeral
was attended by a large concourse
of relatives and friends.
Mr. Sanders operated farming interests
on a portion of a large tract
of land which had been in his family
for generations; he being a direct descendant
of William Sanders, prellevolutlonary
ancestor, who was the
first white man to make a permanent
settlement In Sumter county and
the first to receive a royal land grant.
Of a kindly and retiring disposition,
Mr. Sanders devoted his life to his
homo and family. Seldom appearing
in public except for business reasons,
he never-the-less loved people, and
his home was a hospitable and friendly
place which welcomed many visitors.
He was widely loved by both
white and colored and will be sadly
missed !n his community as well as
throughout the state.

"That's why this opportunity is all
the more interesting to motorists.
Ask about the price on a 6.00-16,

cars in service new use. Mr. Cljbuiu

is to contribute to the safety of highw

buying tires with treads that will
really stop a car.
Wot weather is just ahead, you 1
know, and slippery roads demand 1
ires that will stop, for safety's sake. ?

they will provide up to 20 per cent
more mileage than if they had been
applied during the extremely hot ^
weather.
"We are ready .and willing to make
inspections of anyone's tires to be f
sure they are highway safe. And there t
is no obligation involved. America's c
motoring death toll can be cut drastic- *
ally by adoption of safety measures j
and good tire equipment is a good
logical place at which to start."
