Ha was lod as all driaksrs arc into nad company, which caused a lowering of hia moral charietar*tn anch a degree as te bring him to the commission of a crime which stirs society to Us foun- dation. .This la only one instance et the terrible havoc being wrought by the demon drink. It may be an ex^ trenao instance, it la true, but- U Is nevertbsless typical of the mighty* power for evil that liquor possesses and with which it Is attacking the foundations of society. It has wreck ed wo or perhaps more Uvea la this •no instance, ruined a home and placed a stain upon a cemmunty that years cannot remove. - In view of these facts we would ask. where Is the advantage of toler ating this evil? Some will say, “Let men drink, they will do it anyway.*’ We would ask whether or not we have any right to sit thus convers ing with ourselves while this evil is umlermlnlng the foundation of our commonwealth?- Let every man in South Carolina rise jJu> strngth of his manhood and exert nts influ ence for the eliminatioli of this great evil. Let every one who is only a so- called moderate driaaer beware lest he be tripped in the terrible snare and his Ufe wrecked. Let him not declare himself with me thought that hs can stop when he desires. Thompson did not start out to end where be is now, neither does any other man who falls a- victim to liq uor. All believe it in their power to stop when they desire. The great trouble is that its influence is so sub tle and their desire so weakened that they suddenly find themselves bound hnd in the grasp of this terrible hab- Editorialets, (By W. W. 8.)

It seems to be the general impression that Mr. Smoak has re turned to Waiterboro, but as was slated in a previous issue he has sim ply again purchased the paper and placed it under the management of the present editor while he still r* tains his position with the Anderson Hally Intelligencer. We will appre ciate the same support that would be glve n Mr. Smoak were he here in person, and will enaeavor to nerve the people as he hltr.fieK would. A WARNING. it seems that quite a number of boys have the habit or swinging on and off tile trains as they come In and go out of town. .Several have come near getting hurt. This, it seems, is a dangerous and annoyin;; practice. It is uncalled for and should'be stopped Not for the ben efit of the railroad or its officials, al together. but for the safety of soup* bright boy of this place. If this practice continues sooner oj- later some boy wll be badly hurt or per haps killed. .N 0 one can stop the* as well as the parents of the boys who are qi the hpbit of doing rnts. Perhaps they »to not kjro* it is going on* but it would bn wise for every parent to ee if thyfr boys are not among the ^r>t. Jx>ok into this now and do not ^ air until your "boy has reaped ii!o ybi.sequence of his r.. k. What does IS D.” flunk of th" new primary rules? ‘A.

If enforced by the county executive committee that end will be accom plished. fturely the trenchant pen of Rev. J. C. Lawson need not remain silent for so long, and we’U wager John C. Goodwin can write something which could be read. We started, to sey something about the Civic League and what It might do for electric lights in Waiterboro and paved sidewalks, but we shall desist till we learn their plans.

Thompson at (iree^ville last week unearthed one c r the m<>:t revolting crimes in the history jpf our Ktate. Btul it was re vealed that this crime was tjie work of liquor. Stx years ago Thompson waji a respected citizen with a family tnd e future Today he stands con victed of a horrible crime with the death sentence hanging over him A Correction. In our last issue we stated that the Enterprise Finnii...e Company was a branch of the Enterprise Fur niture Company, of Charleston.

Jt folio w«\ "In calling on tue for an address, your county superintendent evidently shares the popular opinion that a preacher can speak at any time and on pny subject, whenever called up on. It is related that a'clergyman from the country once served as a temporay supply for a city church of ritualistic tendency. Among/ other things was a boy choir robed in their white clobthes. This especially at tracted the attention of the minis ter’s little son who accompanied his father on one of these visits. On his return home the littto fellow asked his mother;“'Did those boys In their nighties gef^sld for th^ir singing?’’ "Yes,” said the mother. “I suppose they do.” "Rid father get anything for preaching?’’ asked the boy. "Ye#.’ Replied the mother. "They paid hfm, too.” "Well.” said the Ilttlp fellow, "it is all right to pay tb* boys, hut father should not get cent, because we all know how father loves to talk." I do love to speak, and yet I am painfully aware that I am no orator like Brutus. And could I loose the bands that hold this stammcr'ng tongue and speak to you this morn ing as I would like to speak speak to you as angels speak—then I would be sure that I had not Wasted tbe time which has been allotted to me. I do not feel like a stranger in this presence. My grandfather was a teacher My father devoted many of his years to teaching, and was at one time superintendent of education for for his county.
