"No arti cle which is defamatory or offensively personal can find place in our columns at any price, and we are not respon sible for the opinions expressed in any communication THURSDAY JUNE 4, 1914. Habitual drinkers of intoxicating liquors should pause and reflect to what dlepths that Greenville county farmer was dragged by his slavery to the demon, Rum. A few short years ago he was an honest, upright citizen, com manding the respect of his neighbors. Then he began drinking—only a little at first, but the habit grew as the months went by. To such bestial depths did he sink that, crazed by liquor, he committed the nameless crime on one of his own flesh and- blood. For this horrible offense, almost unbelievable in one of the race, he was tried, con victed and sentenced to pay the death penalty in the electric <45air. But that is an isolated case, you may argue. Granted, but it may show how long a man may sink by allowing his appetite to control his man hood. Look around you and think of the many men who have been sent to early graves because of this “habit,’.’as we are pleased to term it, —of the widows and orphans left desti tute because the brain of some man was maddened by alcohol. It is not a pleasant picture, and when the people of the United States fully awaken to a realization of the awful effects pro duced by liquor they will rise in their might and overpower the traffic as they would any other loathsome ster. Wanted: A new dtjr hall, city mar ket, incinerating plant, numerous parka, sewerage extension, bettor sani tary conditions, ‘Great White Wayf and a city jail. Address Spartijnburg, S. C.”—Spartanburg Herald. Rather a large bill to fill but application might be made for the State penitentiary to cover the last item mentioned. The glorious rain that fell in this sec tion Sunday afternoon reminds us of the simple philosophy of the old-time darkey, who consoled his master in the following words: “There ain’t no use to worry, boss; the Lord alius sends rain befo’ it’s too late.” “Coley” is too wise to be fooled by the Mexicans. Bless your heart, don’t think for a minute that he will allow the State militia to go to the encamp ment at Augusta and give the greasers a chance to invade South Carolina du ring their absence. The school master in politics has made good, but the politics being played by the present governor smacks more of the hysterical, school girl variety. Verily, conditions in South Carolina have reached a pretty pass when a man can tell the governor of this once proud old commonwealth to “go to hell!” “Edison Obeys His Wife,” says a headline. Which, in spite of his won derful genius, proves him to be a mere man. 1—r To produce good crops of cotton and corn frequent and shallow culti vation is necessary, is the advice cf Clemson College experts. Failure to cultivate properly is one way of farming at a loss. J "' ; The Hon. James F. Byrnes, of Aiken, makes formal announcement of his can didacy for re-election to Congress from the Second District in this week’s issue of^The People. He will make his race on the the enviable record that he has made in Congress. ,. — ■■ - ♦ mon- Don’t let any demagogue insult your commomsense, Mr. Voter, by attempt ing to make you believe that the State Convention tried to deprive any white man of his right to vote. In fact, just the countrry was the case, the rules being so tightened as to prevent “re peaters” in the cities from killing the honest ballot of the voter residing in the country and smaller towns. The requirements of the new rules are not hard to comply with and no white man who is honestly entitled to vote will be desired of that privilege and no other should be allowed to. , Time to Clean Up. May and June are busy months for the farmer. He has very little time to spare from his crops. But they are also important months for taking pre cautions against the household insect pests of summer. Screen the house, use fly traps and sprays and get rid cf tin cans and stagnant pools where mosquitoes can breed. Canna Day. The ladies of the Civic League wish to call special attention to “Canfla Day” next Tuesday, June 9th. Every body is earnestly requested to send Cannas to the Circle at 10 o’clock on that date to be planted in the Circle and wherever the committee sees fit. Mrs Charlie Brown, who is Chairman of this committee, will be glad to give any information desired. The next meeting of the Leauge will be held the first Monday* in July at the Home Bank. This will be a very im portant meeting and a full attendance is desired. Chick Spring* and Spring Chicks. “While the other editors are plan ning about Chick Springs, this scribe is a lot more concerned with spring chicks,” volunteers the Saluda Stand ard. Isch Kabibble. We have a num ber of subscribers who have promised us a number of frying size bipeds within the next few weeks.—Barnwell People. This editor boards at the hotel where frying sized bipeds are served without trouble to him. His fayorite chicken has blue eyes, and one should not speak of her as a frying sized biped. —Hampton Quardian.., The lucky Ass! In an interview in the Atlanta Journal Sunday Goyerhor Blease stated emphatically that he had no apologies to make for his pardons or any one of them. He believes, the interview went on, that we should follow the golden rule, and whoever did not was a hypo crite and not a Christian. Even if that helped him in this case, we don’t see how it applies to Charleston blind tigers and horse racing.—Orangeburg Times and Democrat. Probably on the theory that one good turn deserves another. Eaters of breakfast foods assisted Charles W. Post to amass a fortune of ^0,000,000. egro Died in Jail.”—Headline. How terrible.
