WHY’ WE AGREED TO RUN •There are as .many Christian people who love their fel low men and work for their good, who are root and branch opposed 'to prohibition because they know how futile it is and its bitter conse quences. as there are prohibitionists, and can any one dare to say they will be punished at the last day? In many places the Bible i& our author ity for drinking in moderation but hypocriti are denounced cvprywhere and that is what prohibition fosters and encourages.” The abfrre is quoted from a letter written by one who would be a great prohibitionist if ever convinc ed of the great good the prohibition except!of the manufacture and sale of in- iTednes-ftoxiattiog drinks has done and is doing* This writer hates hypocrisy, nd rightly so. but will not. the man or 'Woman w ho w oui£ be a hypocrite because of prohibition be one any way? Is he not hypocritical In other things as weH? moder- IT.

A full page advertisement will be found on another page, w hieh is a clean argument against' prohibition^ fre*» from invective. We etHfuhU^d that this should l»e the nature of tfi** ad-, vertiserfient before we accented it The Pres« and Standard ha^s giv en many pages of prohibition argu ment.'' and has also endorsed the cause editorially strongly as we knew how. If our* arguntent is Rougul |nd worth while then the sophistry * of this pro-liquor adver tisement will not inflect t .ingle voter. We felt that the "other side" should not have the use of bur pa per closed t<rthem, and fqr this rear son only we accepted the offer to run the’ advertisement We feel that this is only fair. ■■ l‘ ! ■ * • ' mUKTESY OF EMI>M»YKE.<4. The editor of The Press ami Standard a few days ago took oc- casion to go to the site where the new artesian well is bored having in view securing sons* infor matlon for a new * story as to pro gress l>eing made. etc. A courteous question r tfas asked the man in charge of the work, and we were given a gruff, monasyllahlc answer The man evidently did not wish to be bothered. ‘ and we left him. But for interest of our readers have in this work, nothing further would-be Said of the progress of the work. We do not believe anything is ever lost by courtesy oh the part of an . employe* for any concern. Some times people ask seemingly very foolish questions but that is no ex- cuipPTor a churlish answe'f Friends are often made which will do one good, 'by being considerate aipf courteous. We would "fire" .» pfan quh k'T for being rude lb a ylsitor than for almost any other/ cauiie. Maybe the rule of 1>ein£ couteous does not apply to profysMonal well- boring, but future Centralts might hang on how civil questions are answered. There khould v ♦ be a question nyark used after the statement quoted above "whp love their fel}ow man and work for thefr good.” Can one “love” his fellow- man and place, before' him who i*v weak, a temptation that will, if yielded to, destroy his manhood and the happiness of all around him? We do not have to go farther than Walterboro and Colleton coun ty'', to prove the great good resulting from prohibition. The editor of The Press and Standard came t j Walterboro in and for several years, or until the dispensary was voted out.
