Thursday, July 29,1909 The shortage fever seems to be getting somewhat epidemic in South Carolina. It seems to be time for ' another reform movement. r" We trust that our city fathers will look carefully into the sanitary condition of the town during this hot Weather. It* is highly important that the premises of everybody be kept clean. K&k, In our opinion, some patent medi Cine advertisements are as Daa or Worse than whiskey advertisements. 80 far as The Herald is concerned, We would just as soon advertise Whiskey as a lot of these patent medicines. There has been introduced in the Georgia legislature a bill requiring treet car companies to furnish separate compartments for white people and negroes. It is high time we Were having such a law in South Carolina. In Columbia last Sunday conditions were disgusting, as whites and negroes were mixed up promison thp P3TK , The Herald is devoting considerable space these days to the question of prohibition or dispensary, fegs, 4 but our readers are interested, so we feel that no apology is necessary PS* " . for consuming so much space with prohibition and dispensary articles. Every man who wants to air his views has access to our columns, provided the articles pertain to the question and do not contain personalities. JOSHUA H. HUDSON. The depth of Col. Joshua H. Hudson, which sad event occurred in XJreenville last week, removes from among us one of the really great men of South Carolina. Born in obBcurity, by his own efforts he educated himself and acquitted himself with great credit in the affairs of ? ;' life. As soldier, attorney, and jurist he was one of the leading men of South Carolina, and his sterling integrity and high mental attainments made his loss to this State almost irreparable. His life is an inspiration to every boy, for what Joshua Hudson did can be done by any poor boy in South Carolina?if he has the brains, the will, and the character to achieve success. Speaking in a personal sense, his career was an inspiration to the writer, for we knew him well and was familiar with the history of his early struggles. Only a few weeks ago we saw him in Greenville, where he did us the honor to come into the dining room at the hotel, where we were at breakfast, to speak to us; and he looked exceedingly well. His mind was as quick as ever, and his conversation was as brilliant as in the days of long ago, when as a boy we hung around crowds in which he was the center and listened to mm Dy me hour. Years ago we heard him discuss the dignity of labor, and, giving the figures, he stated that there was only five negro laborers in South Carolina to each lazy white overseer, and he said one of the greatest factors against the development of the South was the fact that our white people were depending on the negro to do the work, and that our progress would be very much retarded unless our white people learned to dignify manual labor. In the conversation he recited with telling effect the poem about the fellow who sold out his land and moved to * "Georgy, where land was rich," and who came back soon after without j'-'V ; . anything, to find the man to whon he had sold his place, living in pro& perity, the moral of the verses beinj "there is more in the man than t'ner< is in the land." That happened 21 years ago, and it made an impressior on our mind, so that we rememoei the incident perfectly to-day. Judg< Hudson was a wonderful character his life story is a remarkable record and he left an impress upon his com munity and State which will lone be felt. Visit to Colurilbia. Bamberg, July 26th, 1909. Mr. Editor, Dear Sir: Spent a short and very pleasant visit in Columbia. The city is spreading her wings on all sides, as if in a race for growth, progress and improvement. If not in the lead, she is endeavoring to hold her place, whatever of progress she may have attained in recent years. This is most evident when you see how she has and is improving some of her streets, which are smooth and beautiful, over which the ever-present auto skims along most gracefully. The contrast is great, should you drive over some of the other streets which have not been worked upon. Had the pleasure of riding over some of the public roads leading out from the city into the suburbal country. This was indeed pleasant, for the roads were quite smooth and in good repair. There is nothing more clearly indicative of the material progress of a country than to mark the condition of her public roads. As they are so is the status of the State and country. x\ot oniy ao guua ruauu suuw uiaicrial growth, but in their wake will fellow sooner or later other benefits, such as moral, social and educational endeavors, which will lift us to a higher plane of hristian civilization. Lest I stray from my first thoughts, let us return to the city, and let us take a strol down one of the quiet streets. Here we are on a high eminence, overlooking much of the city that lies below. See that panorama of landscape and the beautiful scenery spread out before us. See the extensive valley, where meanders the great Congaree as it breaks through the hills and with mighty flood flows on to the sea. Now, look far beyond this broad expanse of territory to the Southern boundary and you may see the smoking hills in Lexington county, now composing part of the new county, Calhoun. As 1'AM Vtillfl tTAII v cju 1UUA uyuu li-luoc 1q1-uu u lilo jvu are ready to exclaim: " 'Tis distance lends enchantment to to the view, And clothes the mountains in their azure hue." And so it really is, for only a few years since, while surveying the baby county, I had to traverse those rough, rocky, rugged hills. Wearied and exhausted from tramping over those steep hill sides, I did not then enjoy the poet view, unless it was when tried and fatigued we would ever and awhile stop, and, bending low to mother earth, drink of the pure, cold crystal waters, nrhinh thnco hills sr? abundantly sud ply. As I was standing near the old college I could not resist the inclination to go within its sacred enclosure. To me these venerable walls are more than to the casual visitor. Here it was, in the early years of the last century, that my father and his brothers attended college. Visiting these hallowed grounds, I am only following close in the foot prints where they once stood in all the vigor of their young manhood. Dear old college! Since the days of the learned Dr. Thos. Cooper, and those that have followed in his place, what good has each one in his time done for the young men that have gone put from these classic walls? It cannot be estimated. For, in addition to what it has been to each individual, that light has gone out far beyond the confines of their own State, and there is not a State in all our Southern land where the influence for good has not been felt. Dr. Mitchell, who now stands at the head of this great institute of learning, with clear and penetrating mind, looking to the best interest of the college and his adopted State, he is now exerting his able and best efforts in the cause of prohibition. We may run our schools and pay our taxes to some extent, but count the cost and we are at a great discount. It may be asked should we go dry will we be better off? Hardly possible to be in a worse condition than we are. In the no-licensed State of nVinnf tko civa nt ftiir fftafp iuaiiiC) auvut tuw oi?v v*. w?? there are few murders committed. How is it in our State? There is surely room for improvement. Let us not stop to consider the few or many dollars that may be lost to our schools, when life and liberty is involved. When hard pressed, Nelson, the great naval commander, cried out: "England expects every man to do his duty." So, at this crisis our land and beloved State is crying out to each and every good citizen conscientiously to do their duty. Consider the common country, and what may temporally benefit any individual. , L. N. BELLINGER. T Arrested on Fraud Charge. Charleston, July 22.?The postoffice department has determined tc proceed actively against parties alleged to be engaged in a fraudulent commission business, and in pursuance of this policy Joe Andrews, an Italian, was arrested yesterday afternoor and pending the preliminary examination on the charge of fraudulent use of the mails, he was committed tc jail. This is the second case made out ir Charleston during the past few months. It is a difficult matter to convici many of these people of fraudulentlj using the mails, but the governmeni is going to make a hard fight to dc so and the farmers, fruit growers anc others who send their produce anc fruits to pretended brokers in various markets in this section will now secure better protection from unprincipled dealers. i WALL SAVES GALVESTON. [Continued from first page.] 5 Galveston, was demolished by wind - and waves. Thirty or 40 persons en> joying the day on the pier were resi cued by the pilot boat Texas and ? brought to Galveston in safety. As a result of damage to the bridge ? that connects Galveston with the . mainland communication by rail has , been cut off. Crews will work on the bridge all night, but it is not probable that trains will be allowed to go ' over the structure until late to-morrow. Tug boats are carrying passengers, mail, and freight across the bay to Galveston to-night. The following indicates the city's satisfaction: , "The city of Galveston sends greet! ings to her sister cities, the people > of the United States and of the world in that, at this hour, it has just passed through a most formidable storm, manifesting in its course some of the ! most violent incidents of cyclonic dis; turbances, and its great sea wall has completely vindicated its efficiency and protected the city against dani gers from the sea, leaving such insig, nificant damages as are incident to : all storms. "The city, its great business interests and its people have safely passed through a most severe hurricane; the sea wall proved a complete success, the city's great wharves and shipping interest suffered no damage and not a life was lost.

Two Towns Inundated. Beaumont, Tex., July 21.?A passenger train on the Gulf & Interstate road went to High Island and returned to-day. The track below High Island is submerged and the entire peninsula from Galveston bay to the gulf is covered with water. Tug boats brought 200 persons, almost the entire population of Sabine and Sabine Pass, to Port Arthur today. Sabine and Sabine Pass are both under water. There was no loss of life. A relief train with motor launches and skiffs left at noon on the Gulf & Interstate line for the gulf shore. reopie aaie hi mgu ismuu. Beaumont, Tex., July 21.?Between 300 and 500 persons who have been living in hotels, cottages and tents along the gulf shore between High Island and Boliver, on the Gulf & Interstate railroad, are now reported safe at High Island. The relief train which went down to-day : got within five miles of High Island, and there found the sea running across the track to the bay. Boats were sent, but when the train reached there, returning at 7 o'clock, nothing had been heard from the boats. At 9 o'clock, however, a boat was sent back to the point where the train had stopped and a telegraph, wire was rigged up and the message was sent that every person from the gulf resorts was safe. The train sent out from BOliver Point this morning succeeded *in getting to High Island and returned to Boliver, picking up on both trips K/>?n'flon fho turn nfiinta CVCI7 U1IC UCtnttU IUV VfT V The water at Rollover and other resorts is from six to eight feet deep at the highest point. Ten miles of the Gulf & Interstate railroad track has been washed away. MUST FIGHT AGAIN. Liquor War Breaks Out in Georgia Once More. Atlanta, July 23.?When the legislature adjourned this afternoon, it was evident that the prohibition fight, which every one thought was settled two years ago, had broken out once more and that the battle would have to be fought all over again. The antiprohibitionists openly declared in favor of filibusters during the remaining 20 days of the session. The drys forced through a resolution calling the daily sessions at 9 a. m. instead of 10, and they declare to-night that unless the new dry legislation is passed promptly at this session, they will force an extra session to accomplish their purpose. A new feature of the row is a promise extracted from Gov. Brown, before his election, by which he pledged himself to veto any liquor legislation. At that time the prohibitionists did not dream of more stringent dry laws but were endeavoring to fight against any measures introduced by the wets. ' The ethical question as to whether Gov. Brown can sign the new bill is exciting much discussion and even the drys are divided over it. The bill which is causing all the trouble is the one drawn by Representative Hooper Alexander of De ' Kalb county, making it illegal to buy, sell or possess any liquid beverage > which contains even a trace of alcohol. It is aimed at the sale of beer 1 and near-beer under a decision of the ' courts that to be intoxicating a, 111 quor must contain more than 4 per cent, of alcohol. The prohibition law enacted two years ago merely prohib1 ited the sale of intoxicating li quors without specifying what was intoxicating. An attempt to put the bill upon its second reading was prevented by Representative Ellis, of Bibb county, who held the floor until the time for ad journment. Meantime, Representa> tives Alexander and Anderson nearly came to blows upon the floor but were separated by friends. J The renewal of the quarrel has at tracted the representatives of both i! sides to the scene and the battle is ! now on. The drys frankly say that tithe time for absolute prohibition has > arrived. ' Beaten Up By His Tenant. Spartanburg, July 26.?W. J.

Accordl ing to the report of the case it seems I that Shirley and Fowler were in > Spartanburg Saturday. They went -! out together and on the way home - got in a dispute. A warrant has been sworn out for Fowler's arrest. I^DONT THROW IT AWAY \ That broken gun or pistol, or perhaps > it's a bicycle that is not in working 4> order.
