The Flying Squadron, which will soon make a whirlwind campaign through the State of Kentucky, will, it is thought, take up the matter of a State wide law prohibiting the use of tobacco In any form. At the recent annual meeting of the Kentucky Woman’s Christian Temperance Union, held in Winchester, Clark County, strong reso lutions were passed by the convention, opposing the use of the weed on the grounds of morality and the general benefit of the people. The Flying Squadron will probably follow this lead and it is likely that prohibition of the useof both liquor and tobacco will be discussed and advocated. Many states have rnti-cigarette laws—practically til of which are dead-letters as far as enforcement is concerned—but no state has yet passed a sweeping law against the use of tobacco in any form. As *Kentucky is one of the great tobacco raising districts it will be interesting to watch the results of an attempt to prohibit its use in that commonwealth. widows of veteran s'in Barnwell County will please take notice that I will be in the Auditor’s office in the Court House eveiw Saturday in January, commenc ing January 2nd, 1915, for ttie purpose of receiving applications for pensions. 0.

Iva Black, Plaintiff, vsT A Columbia contractor said yester- dsy that 90 per cent, of the carpen ters in the city are out of work. They sod their families are actually suf fering. The men are desperate. The people from whom they rent or with whom they board are desperate, also. One keeper of a cheap rooming house ■sid yesterday that she collected only 75 cents last week, and she had to ap- ^T to the Associated Chanties for wood. Some of the carpenters are doing aach little odd jobs as making boxes for people to ship away their Christ mas presents—and they are glad to get this work.—The State. The above item bears out The Peo ple’s editorial a couple of weeks ago, in which we urged that charity should begin at home. As we stated at that time, Europe has our sympathy and should have what assistance we may reasnably give, but we have many people right at our own doors who are going to feel the pinch of poverty within the next few months, unless conditions speedily improve. m r Hr- The December crop report of South Carolina, issued on December 1st by the United States Department of Agri culture, credits this State with a wheat acreage of 246,000 acres as compared with 82,000 acres last year, an increase of 164,000 acres, or 200 per cent. The eondition is -given as 96.. per cent of normal, compared with a ten-year average of 92. These figures augur well for the future agricultural welfare of South Carolina and show that the farmers are fast learning their lesson of “too much cotton” and that they are profiting by the experiences of this year of grace. If it means that they are to be emanci pated from the servitude of the de throned king, the present hard times "are not so bad after all. Raymond DeM. Black, Susanna Black, Edward McD.
