I Swat tli« Liquor Ada.
In keeping with its policy, The Peo
ple, recently refused a contract for
whiskey advertisements. In common
with numbers of other weeklies in the
State, thft paper needs all the revenue
it can get, but we have riot reached the
point where we are willing to sacri
fice certain convictions in order to
get it. On the other hand, we have
no fault to find with those papers that
accept this class of advertising. It
is merely a difference in the point of
view taken by us and by them. It
does seem to us, however, that since
South Carolina has gone into the pro
hibition column, everything possible
should be done to suppress the traf
fic and uphold the law, rather than
encourage the sale of intoxicants in
any manner whatsoever.
In this connection it may be of in
terest to our readers to learn that the
Hearst papers, probably the largest
chain of newspapers in the world,
have been instructed by their owner
to refuse all liquor advertisements.
There is an ever-increasing sentiment
against whiskey and it would be a
step in the right direction for every
newspaper in the country to swat the
liquor advertisements by refusing this
class of business.
We hope our readers appreciate the
stand we have taken in this matter,
and we believe that the'time is com
ing when papers that carry whiskey
advertisements will be barred from
American homes just as a whiskey
salesman would be barred.
The world's work has just taken a
poll of two hundred and sixty-one rep
resentative newspapers, mf all parties,
on our prepared neea Jar war. Two
hand red and Aftjr-Plh were for strong
er defense, the other five were "either
more interested in other aspects of
our relation to the possibility of war,
SO take-warm towards pre
tax to suggest an opposition
they did not express.”

Here's something new under the
sqn: The editor of a certain South
Carolina weekly newspaper was re
cently threatened with the law by an
irate subscriber because the paper
was sent to the said 1. s. after his sub
scription had expired. Yes, dear
reader, said threat followed a success
ful attempt on the editor’s part to col
lect th^ little amount due.
The constit U> iu7 South Carolina
says that all ablebodied males be
tween the ages of 18 and 46, except
those exempted by the laws of the
United States, “or who from religious
scruples may be averse to bearing
arms,” are aubject tb-mffjtary ser
vice. In case of war there probably
would be a great revival of religidn.
“Bob" Gonzales, of the Statepaper,
is authority for the statement that
“hundreds of American men, women
and children” have been “drowned in
cojd blood at sea.” And yet in the
very same issue he tearfully pleads
with the solons to “spare, oh, spare,
that there gallon.”

point—county, State, national an
werld^dt la head end shoulders above
any'other paper published in Barn

week’s issue there is published a sy
nopsis of the Great War, giving the
important events of each day's fight
ing. Last week The People published
a resume of . Governor Manning’s an
nual message to the Genera) Assem

Moral: Subscribe to the paper that

In strict neutrality you never satis

All the nations seem to be ashamed
of this war, as none of them will ad
mit the responsibility of starting it.
And what has become of the old-
fashioned boy who used to drop a
button in the collection plate?
“Damon and Pythias.”
Four hundred years before the
dawning of Christian era, the drama
of “Damon and Pythias” was enacted
and has lived and grown down
through all the ages until it is the
foremost theme in the world today
upon which universal peace may be
founded.
It is this sublime story that is un
folded in the absorbing and Soulful
photo drama of “Damon and Pythias.”
Spectacular, stirring, gripping are
its scenes; laid in Greece in the pomp
and glory of her greatest day, with
its collosaal groupings, classic dances,
games, tbi thrill of the chariot race,
battling upon sea and land, cities built
and cities destroyed, and through all
this, with a dramatic firs and touch
of sentiment runs the story of human
friendship and its lessons of man’s
Never before in the history of pic
tured plays have scenes of such mag
nificence and grandeur met the cam
era.
Because of its all appealing story,
its deep and inspiring love interest,
its nearness to all that is human, its
educational and uplifting influences,
it is a picture all will want to see. It
is the pictured presentation of a story
of friendship that has lived through
all these ages—it is a photo play that
will never die. •
