The success which attended thp efforts of the grand Jury In the short time It wee working on theae cases, convinces ue that much Cftpld hb done a by those jBVcen.whomudat* It Is to prevent violation of law. Has It some to the pass that the gopt men of'the county are going to al low n few law breakersko ply n tiide ^iii t lllln of •o Injurious to tkp wolfafa*^ JEor- •1. of the county ..*0^? ^ ^. heT. they going to alt down and lot th«oe pean pools of Iniquity to apyldlk' np and fonrtok la their midst, gtvlag forth the vile odors of the damasbie traffic? We cannot think no, and we trust this action by the graa^ Jury will arouse the manhood of tin* county to n determined effort to hunt down every tiger and stamp out nnch a dangerous and undesirable traffic. It demoralises labor, breeds crime. It censes misery end creates want It censumes everything and produces bathing. It la a vampire sucking thq Mfe blood of the community, aad spreading disease aad crime. The presence of a tiger concerns every man in the commnalty. No one can escape the responsibility for Its existence, and a tiger flourishes because the people desire It. This Is s terrible arraignment to bring against any community, but wa defy contradiction. If It Is not so then why Is the tiger~hllowed to live? The Press and Standard calls for a crusade of extermination. It must be done and It can be done. THANKSGIVING DAY. Tomorrow Is Thanksgiving day. Following a custom inaugurated by ' the Pilgrim fathers nearly three hun dred years ago when their new home was a bleak and cheerless prospect, with the prowling savage as neigh bor, with waut and suffering ahead of them, but with a sturdy manhood • which gloridd in the thought that they were free—free from the re straints of customs which found them in slavery—free to worship God ac cording to the dictates of their con science and to train their children In the ways of freedom. These were the tblngirfippermost in the minds of those early settlers on the bleak New England chore.. The custom has lived, ana our peo ple, now grown marvelously great and powerful, still observe as a Na tional holiday this annual Thanks giving day. Tomorrow all business will ceye and we shall pause a brief while to count over our blessings, and to renew our faith In (he future. But grill our people morn as sincere thanks as did the pioneer Pilgrim eettiers? Have we felt the need of freedom as they felt It? Have we not overcome the feeling of depend- Desperate diseases require desper ate remedies. In reference to law and order, the conditions In Waiter- boro and Colleton county are dee ps rate, and it Is very necessary that desperate remedies be used to Im prove them. Especially Is this true with reference to the violation of the prohibition law. We are told that almost every section of the coun ty tigers no longer blind are devour ing those who come their way. This n Itself is terrible enough, but .the mere waste of money and health is not all the presence of the tiger en tails upon a community. There are other effects equally bad. Labor Is demoralfumL and crimes fostered. Murders lie committed with no pro vocation. Just ten days ago at Oredi Pond.a negro mss whose bisin was Sued by * 4rHk of thte hellish stuff met another and without a moment's warning shot him dews. "In nn ad joining county n prosperous young mmlly stepped end shot down met on the street, though he had never seen him before. Other crimes follow this violation if law, not the least of which in lying and deceit—the man who buys the tiger's liquor Is supposed to He to protect him and he usually does. Men of Colleton, thee# conditions prevail. What are you going to do about it? Is it none of your busi ness to put a stop to it? Let us sm You are living near a tiger’s lair. He sells Ijquor—vile stuff it usually ig —to your labor. Saturday night and Sunday he is on a drunken frolic, and docs not sleep off the effects of his debauch till noon Monday, and then he Is worthless, lb,is fortunate if he doee not commit some crime in the mean while. Doesn't this come home to you? But this is not all. Your sou, S a lad still In his teens goes out to visit a friend. They pass the tigd^'s lair, and buy a bottle of his stuff^ and your boy is made drunk. "Not e«y boy." you say. Well perhaps your boy has not fallen yet—It is onjy your neighbor's son. But wbst as surance have you that your boy \\itl not be the next? Somebody’s boy will be and why not yours? No ret son wrfy he should t>e spared. The user Is fife respecter of persons. Have you not seen the dar yir ye. ? "Oh, yes”, you say. "It uhould not be allowed but It Is not my Dnsiues* to stop It—I am not an offleer of the law." No, you are not. That is true, but your Indifference makes the of fleer neglect his sworn duty. And are you sura the officer has not been bribed by the tig#r to let Him alone. Such ^hinga have been done, and Madani Humor says certain officers in this county now are hands off for that reason. The blind tiger io no gentleman violator of the law. He Is after all the money as he can get. and It makes no difference how he gets It. .0 Mr. Good Citisen, what are you going to do about it? Fold your hands gpd allow this criminal to corrupt your community? Is this manly? Is U right? Is it honest? Can you do it and be true to your home? Then get busy. ,t/unt the blind tiger down as you would s wild Jungle tiger. Put him out of bust- ness. He cun make an honest living Just sa you are doing.
