Today our defense - is in an other channel, but it is Just ;u n:'.’ !i needed. « From the pulpit and through press and heart to heart appeals to the father and moth/er of Walterboro. we have ample weapons with wlj edi to fight for home, for country, for God. ami of these we will avail our selves with all the vigor of our heart and brain. It is the old irrepressible conflict over again between the grog-shop and rlghteousne'ss; between beauty and filth; between pleasant food jind drink and carrion. It ft war to the knife, and knife to the hilt, and only one can win. As it stands now we are down, while the hosts of Satan are bravely marching on. Why? Because we have here a Paganism Ikbelled Chris tian. The task, then, is to lift up a Christian standard of law and order, and overthrow the criminals who are brazingly abrogating all law on the liquor question; taking charge of the community in tht face of helpless cit izens and running their ' nefarious busii^pt in defiance of event, princi ple or right. In the name of com mon decency. I protest against drun kard making and debauchery. In the name of the people of the church 1 represent, I protest against the ap parent inactivity and supineness of the sworn and salaried officer- of this town, and ask them why ! s Cic liquor traffic seefhingly singled out as the only evil or special favorite' which is to be accorch'd the liberty to make its own laws and do as it pleases?

Suppose* thttn- was known to be a rapist conce'aled in any house in* town, would he s^t quietly in his office and ask tha? this human fiend be brought before him?

And this man is a husband and a father—a man who has been granted the sacred trust of father- •od—a man who has a good Chris tian wife who is trying to train her children for life's duties, for God and for eternity. I wpuld like to ask this father and. husband, of whom 1 speak, is he not thus aiding in the destruction of law, and where wfll be the protection for his wjfe and chil dren when the law.of the jungle, the laV of wiM beasts, the law of anar chists supersedes the law wlfii h makes possible the security and pro tection of home and* property in this **iCk land? . Let him and otherr. of his kind ark themselves this question^ If every man and father in Walterboro were just’ like me. what kind of a piacc would this town be.
