The last reading was given Satur day morning to an Ordinance by Town Council having in view the en forcement of the prohibition law. This Ordinance is rather drastic in its provisions, but it only follows the terms of the State law on The faculty of the High School Department is now complete. The Round.

A stigma has been removed rnent * ^• S8 Buchanan comes most the : w hich has tarnished the good name highly recommended by educators THE RULES GOVERNING EXHIBITS AND TOWNSHIP CHAIRMEN WILL BE PUBLISHED NEXT WEEK. same subject. As a result there will be prohibition in ' Walterboro to suit the most fastidious prohibi tionist. The jug trade started off rather briskly, but it has as sub- denly stopped. Every jug receded means an arrest, and an arrest means the limit, so the decision has been reached in certain quarters that the parties who were getting 1 an d thirsty are fast losing their desire for the stuff and a jug is now await ing its owner, but he has not come for it. The main section of the Ordinance is Section 1 which reads as follows: Section 1. That all alcoholic liquors and beverage* manufactured within this State o r elsewhere, are hereby declared to be detrimental, and their use and consumption to be against the morals, good health and safety of the Town, and contraband. On and after the approval of this Ordinance, the manufacture, sale, delivery, storage, and keeping in possession or giving aw’ay in this Town of any spirituous, malt, vinous, fermented, brewed, whether lager or rice beer, or or other liquors and beverages, or any compound or mix ture thereof which contains alcohol« and ia used as a beverage, is hereby prohibited. Any person convicted of violating this Section shall be punished by imprisonment for, a period of not more than thirty days or by a fine of not more than fifty dollar* in the discretion of the Intendant. Section 10. says: Any person who shall in this Town offer for sale, or solicit the purchase of any of the liquors or beverage* mentioned in,, Sectkmtone of this Ordinance, or who shall order, purchase or deliver the same to or for any other peraom whether for present or future deli very, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and, upon conviction, shall be punished bv a fine of not more than fifty dollars or imprisor- ment of not more than thirty days. Section 15. says: It shall be unlawful for any person to trans- * port, haul or carry whiskey or other alcoholic beverage on his person or otherwise from one place to another within the limits of this town except by the written permission of the Intendant, and any person violating this Section shall be subject to arrest without worrant and the liquors found in his possession confiscated and the offender punished as provid ed in Section one of this Ordinance. Section 16 provides for the en forcement of the Ordinance: It shall be the duty of the Chief of Police and his deputies, and also of a’.l magistrates, constables and rural police to enforce the provisions of this Ordinance. name of our country through the years that have passed, and she has been raised to a high plane of morality and civic righteousness, and now takes her place beside her sister counties of the State. But she is made to blush at the dissipation of six of her sisters who refuse to be reformed from their degredation shame. But the good Book says: “Fret not thyself because of evil doers,” therefore let us rejoice over our own victory and not allow the failure in other counties to de tract from pur joy, though we sympathize deeply with our brethren of those counties that have failed to realize their hopes. Now that we have prohibition in Colleton what are we going to do, make it a success and a blessing or have it work automatically without our aid? When we did not know "'hat the sentiment of our people was we took up the fight. We are proud of having been among the first counties to demand our rights. We joined in the first attack on the State dispensary, and with the faith ful ones who came to our assistance, we continued the fight against th*> countv disoensary until the last vote was polled on the 17th. And now it is not my victory, nor is it a victory for the executive com mittee. but it is a victory for every manly man who went to the polls and voted for the good of his coun try. Now, that we are all on one aide, I do not wish to be more aggreanve than others, but I wish to suggest a plan of action which I hope will be fully discussed through The Press and Standard, and let us hear sug gestions from others, and when we have reached conclusions as to the best plan let us act accordingly. My plan is to organize a Law and Order League at Walterboro, put a live, hustling man at the head of ft, let its members be stationed in every section of the county who will act by direction of the League, and the tiger who dares to show his head will do so at his own peril. a Colonel Featherstone, our next governor, advises this plan.

At our State Convention we heard many things that were worth know ing and if the carriers of this county will come together. I will tell them some of them. I had the pleasure of seeing and hearing Hon. W. R. Spillman, who is general superin tendent of the rural delivery, and he is worth while. We had to go to Charlotte. N. C., to hear him, as he wished to address the boys of South Carolina and North Carolina, in time to reach Knoxville the next day to address the Tennessee boys. Mr Spillman is better posted on rural delivery, than any man in America, and knows What is good and what is bad, for rural delivery and he paid us some very pleasing compliments on our organization, and the good to be derived there- from.sand said he hoped to see every carrier in the State become a mem ber, and hoped we would perfect our organization, so as to insure its continuance, that it helped the ser vice. Now, fellow carriers of tfolleton, this is an opportunity to affiliate yourselves with one of the best or ganizations that has ever been in stituted, and will help lighten the burdens and drudgery of your daily i rounds if you will but affiliate your self with it.

P. HOWELL. ESQ.. MAYOR PRO TEN IS AFTER THE “BLIND TIGERS ’ IN WALTERBORO. M. P. Howell, Esq., mayor pro- tern., is making a name for himself as an enforcer of prohibition. He has had several cases for violating a new ordinance passed by the Coun cil last Saturday, all of which were given the limit.' As a result the town is dry—mighty dry. The first case under the new or dinance was Stephen Bolds, a negro employed on the train, who was charged with receiving liquor in violation of the town’s ordinance. He was given $50 or 30 days. He paid hia fine. Simon Thompson, colored, was charged with the same offence, hav ing taken a gallon of the stuff from the express office. His fine was $25 which was paid. The extenuating circumstances in the case of Thomp son was that the liquor had been or dered by Charles Edwards, colored, in Thompson’s name and without Thompson’s knowledge. So Edwards was called up and given $50 or 30 days. Another case tried yesterday morning was that of Henry Robert son, a young negro driving for Dr. Riddick Ackerman, who was charged with disorderly conduct. He was found guilty and given the limit. $50 or 30 days. 10 paralysis. She will be buried at Guyton today. Not being able to make connection, Mr Remley did not attend the funeral.
