While wre are writing, the liquor
traffic question is being voted on, at
the various points. Oh! if we
could have prohibition in its full
sense, there would be no need of legal
steps to try to. establish it by
force, .-p^n conversation with some
gentlemen some days ago, on -the prohibition
question, one of them said,
"If the legal sale of liquor is continually
established by the voters of
today, (men) that the Christian
women would be the voters of tomorrow;
and that the men by their
negligence would be forcing the
women to do what they do not want
to do." Women!?mothers, sisters,
wives, sweethearts and last but not
least, teachers, do your voting in (the
homes, at the banquet, at the social,
at the dinings, in the parlors, and
in the school room, every day that
you teach. If every voter was a law
of temperance unto himself there
would be no need of legality on the
subject and so much expense to office
holding and execution, and persecution
could be saved our worthy
nation. Baal in an alcoholic form
is as evident today as in the days of
Jezebel.
As no special note has been made
of the Sunday-school convention held
/ A
at Colston on the first three days of
this month, we will first speak of
the full delegation and large crowds
that attended every session. - The
writer has never seen larger crowds
through the entire session, estimation
was about seven hundred. The
programme was good and ably discussed.
x While we must say that so
many of the pastors of the association
were absent, on account of hoiu ing
or assisting in protracted meetings,
we felt their absence and trust
the churches will next year arrange
their meetings and pastors' vacations
so that every one can be present
at the convention held in Barnwell.
Special mention must be made
of the generous hospitality offered
by the entire Colston community.
Every home, regardless of denomination,
was thrown open for the en
tertainment and pleasure of the
guests, and the smokehouses, pantries
and every other place representing
en eatable storehouse, was well demonstrated
at dinner time on the
grounds, and I *think the convention
wanted to be invited to return to Colston.
Must be a little personal and
throw a little bouquet at the untiring
faithfulness of Rev. W. G. Britton,
colporter, as secretary and treasurer
of the convention. He is full of
life and spirit, and always at his post.
These Sunday-school conventions lend
much to the interest and zeal of the
many who attend, as all questions
are vital and fully touch on the various
problems of the Sunday-school
sphere.

was given by Mrs. J. Fred Lightsey
Friday afternoon, Complimentary
to Miss Jessie Whatley, of Early

new members of the teachiig

door by Misses Alma KnigXt and Hattie
Googe, who ushered them into the
parlor where the hostess and honor
guests stood. Mesdames D. F. Moorer
and G. D. Sanders then conducted
them to the dining room, where a
tempting salad course was served in
a most unique fashion, carrying out
the blue bird scheme in detail. The
dining room was lovely in its ap
pointments. A handsome cover with
blue birds skimming across it adorned
the centre table. A bowl of roses
,and fern, over which hovered a graceful
group of blue birds, comprised
the centrepiece. Blue birds also
adorned the napkins which were given
the guests as souvenirs of the
i occasion. Over all the chandeliers

Nearly Every County Gives Majority
v
Against Legal Whiskey Sale.
Manning Will fliiforce Law.
*
After December 31 next the legal
ale of alcoholic beverages will be v-j
liscontinued 'in South Carolina. By
i majority of more than two to one,
ls shown by returns received from
ruesday's election on 'the liquor
luestion, the qualified electors have
-oted for State wide prohibition,
vhich means that the dispensaries
low being operated in fifteen counies
must be permanently closed by ([
ranuary 1, 1916.
Although the returns from Tueslay's
balloting are incomplete, an
iverwhelming victory for the prohilition
forces is certain; in fact, it is
ikely that the majority will grow as
idditional returns are received.
With returns from all of the fortyour
counties of the State, some com- . V |
ilete and others incomplete, received,
the following results are shown:
For prohibition 32,944 ^
Against prohibition 14,141
It is not probable that the total
rote 'will exceed 60,000 and 47,085 ?
ire accounted for in the table which
s appended.
In the "Wet" Counties.
Of the counties that now have dislensaries,
Aiken has voted "dry" by
it least three to one, while Barnwell,

IVV^V/l UlUg LU l/HV> IVVUiUQ t VVV1 T ?U|
jave a prohibition majority by the
small margin of three votes.
Calhoun has voted for prohibition
)y nearly two to one, and in Orange)urg
county three times as many balots
were cast for prohibition as for
ocal option.
With one-third of the precincts to
)e heard from, Beaufort gives a maority
of 32 against the sale of liquorl
Sixteen out of 29 precincts in
Florence county return, in the aggregate,
more than a four to bne
lefeat of local option, and the boxes
still out may increase this majority.
With half of the boxes in, Georgeown
gives a "dry" vote more than
louble that of the "wet," and it is
inlikely that this ratio will be maerially
altered. i > '
Lexington, with one box missing-,
shows a heavy majority for prohi)ition,
and Jasper, with two boxes'
>ut, votes four to one against the dis1)ensary.
Richland gives a decisive majority
!or prohibition, while the vote
tgainst the dispensary in Union conn
:y is overwhelming.
Williamsburg, according to advices
eceived, has gone for prohibition, al;hough
figures from but one box-,
;hat at Kingstree, were available.
Bamberg also reports but one pre*
dnct heard from, that in the town of
3amburg, but information, received
s that the county has voted "dry."
At this count, Dorchester, with
four boxes yet to come in^ gives a >
najority of 13 for local option.
Charleston is the only county that /
jan with certainty be counted at this
;ime for local option, the vote being
practically ten to one against prohi^
jition, with eight country boxes yet
;o come in.
With perhaps an exception or two,
lotably Horry, in no county which
low sells liquor under the dispensary
;vptem was the vote close in Tues
lay's election. The returns from
;he up-country indicate strong sen:iment
against the sale of liquor.

Tuesday night at a late hour, follow:
