'We state the simple facts and state the facts simply. Telling the truth and giving the values is the “fast express” to public favor. &r •; 1 4 f For example, we specialize in “HIGH-ART’ Suits, be cause we know they’re most for your money If they weren’t, out they’d go and in would come better gar ments. You don’t know much about the structure of fabrics and the tailoring of clothes You must buy on faith. Here your faith will never be misplaced. . * . r '\ Both as business men and as gentlemen we guarantee every garment. If any one should ever “go back on you/’ bring it right back. . e - First, know with whom you deal, and then deal with whom you know. That’s the right rule in buying clothes.

Friends, no word of mine has erer been spoken or written in sup port of the sale or consumption of liquor. On the other hand I hare done all I could against this form of eril. as yon all know. No man c^a erer stand before me and say “Ton helped to lay a snare for my feet, and you are responsible for my con dition and for my fllling a drunkard** grave.” With me it ia a moral que*- | tion. I hare no right for the sake of policy to compromise on this great question. Right is right, and right will win. What reason hare I, a poor weak mortal, to stand In the way of a great moral issue? Where doe* my responsibility end? Should It matter to me what the results are ao long as I do right? “Prohibi tion does prohibit”—what hare I to do with that? I did my 'duty as I saw it—the results of tbkt action belong«to a higher Pow^r. I hare’ a duty to speak out, and to stand on the side of right. Wd policy must not interfere.

(Editor’s Note:—The latter part of the above article appears to be critical of the position now taken by The Press and Standard on the dis pensary aueatlon. In reply, we will only say that, from a careful reading of The Hustler of which paper Mr. Smoak la Editor, we have not been able to find where he has in Ken tucky entered any fight on things about which he knew nothing. It does seem to us that Mr. Smoak should accord us the same privilege which he exercises for himself, vis.: that of learning at first hand the con ditions which exist here before at tempting to influqpce or dictate to the voters of the county. W’e believe that where there is only one paper In a county, that paper should be non-partisan in things pertaining to politics in any measure, and cer tainly. with the residence of (he Edi tor in this County for only four months, he cannot aee how it would be fair to himself or his readers to take part in a flaht. the facts of which are well known by years of experience to the voters of Colleton. I willingly admit that whiskey is an evil and its^iale a curse. But. as to whether conditions have im proved in Colleton County under the prohibition law, I am unable to state, not having experienced the condi tions during the dispensary reigjne, and further. I am more puzzled in determining such a question when I hear that tigers exist throuxh- jout the county and that much whis key is shipped into the county t>j freight in barrels labelled molasses, cider, vinegar,, etc, Jt will be hard for the voters themselves to make ''curate'statements about this, but certainly they could make more ac curate statements. having experienc ed both conditions, than the present Editor with his short residence. This seems to me to be the taaue. whether prohibition has reduced drinking. If the voters think It has. then It must follow that they should want prohi bition. At least It is up to them, nqt me. R.

Do you turn, twist, push pans up and down, from one side of. the oven to the other, using, ..every care and precaution to obtain appetizing results?
