? ? i .1 111 i i.ni.r .1 11 in PROHIBITION DOES PROHIBIT It i? the Duty of the Citizens to See that the Law is Enforced. Squeamishncss is narrowness and narrowness is littleness, and what 1 shall say will not be in tho spirit of either; but. just tho opposite. It is very undesirable an unpleasant to inhale the eontaininabd ai? from a foul mouth, but the fold mouth is often the forewarning of a deep r seated trouble. a few weeks vgi Uncle Jeremiah Smith had an article in your columns that was healthy and sound. It made the atmovphe e more fra ? . ? rtf t U/i Vw...

(lisponsai les cannot secure a majority vote sullicient to put the dis pcusury out business then the Statr bv way of the living voice through the thirty-seven should rise in theii might and put the insolent ano nefarious nuisance out.* But the scale changes. Oh, my! when i n ad Mr O M, Watts' article in your issue of September 8ii? on "Prohibition Don't Pr; hibit" it was so foul that 1 had to turn awa> in disgust and (ill up my,-elf win the sweet-scented ozone of healthful confidence in the laws of both you State and mine, that prohibition does prohibit, when they are enforced. Mr Watts states very clearly and witli unblushing lenient \ that one, "Mr It. J. C. Waru is selicidnr an 1 ale within one-fourth of a in Its ol /j :an enurcn anu ne is imc u i the boss numbers." Now, if Mr Waits knows this to be true the one common sense thing to do is to secure a writ for him and Imve him brought to justice and upon conviction Mr Watts will see wl ether prohibition prohibits or not. The same with reference to the pistols and knucks he mentions. As to there being more liquor drunk under prohibition than when there were two dispensaries in the county is a statement that bears about the same relation to the truth that barnacles on an alligator bear to the rings around the Planet Saturn, or the laws of gravitation bear to Cook and Pearv's receni new discovery to the north pole. Why, bless your life, son, if you wehe asked to make good this statement, you would feel mighty little when you reached the apex of your elTor.ts, A few weeks ago while sitting in the waiting room at the railroad station of the S. A. L. at Laurinburg, the county seat of Scotland, 28-miles from the splendid town of Lumberton, N- C., a man (?) begato abuse the prohibition laws of ou. State. Said there was more liquor used right there in that town than when they had live open barrooms, and there was more drunkenness " 1 * - - o ?. ? ? i 4. : _ and lawlessness. oaiu trie tram which had just passed put ofT one hundred packages of liquor. This extract of pessimism and old fash ioned egotism had to make good; for the State organizer of our AntiSaloon League, Rev R. L Davis, and one of pastors of that good town took the matter up immediately with this freak of nature. They just,asked the polite express agen10 please tell them the number of express packages he received that morning, and thirty-two was what Ins books showed. He sneaked out like a gluttonous cur after having lapped up the milk which had been given a sick cat. Furthermore when five barrooms existed in that town it was dangerous for a lady to go alone upon the streets. Now they 1 go with all safety, never thinking of being insulted What's true of that town is practically true of all 1 have been on the streets of Lumber ton at all hours of the day and 1 night for ten years, and 1 know their topography so well that you 1 could not lose me if the darkness was a black as midnight in an Egyption prison and I have never seen any liquor there but two or three { times, and do not recall that I ever j saw but two men whom T knew to ' be drunk, 1 Before the barrooms were ilimi- ( nated the thing was vastly different 1 know that the iaw is good; yet no law, of itself prohibits. There ' are those who do not know the derivation of our word prohibition. It comes from two Latin words which means to forbid; just as if the Almighty was saying, "Thou Shalt Not" as lie does eleven times in the flU.. .1 t ...*L 4 i XCii VJiuiuu uiuiiciiis, a 11 vi yui/ tuuy are violated. Now, Mr Editor, please tell Mr Watts that the biggest wholesale whiskey house in Louisville, Ky , has discharged one hundred of its cleiks and stenographers since ' hose Southern States have hoen put un- ( der prohibition laws, and that any ono board ng a train at Memphis, Tenn , by way of Hirmingham, Ala , Atlanta, Ga., Columbia, S. C., Ualeigh, N. C,, until he reaches the gates of Richmond, Va , will not pass within one hundred miles of a legalized saloon. The fellows who argue that more liquor is drunk under prohibition ( than when barrooms flourished are 1 but echoing the groans of a dying calf. The saloon is doomed and the titne is in tho not-distant-future i when all the States will have prohi- ' bition, for the leaven is at work. j May the God of grace and com J fort and happiness keep the dear , good people of Horry from the infamous notoriety, certain wash-tub sympathizers wish to keep in circu- \ latlon. ] J.
