I
New Side Track Extension
%
! Passes Through Unexpected
Rock Beds.
v The Atlantic Coast Line has this
* week almost completed the extension
of its side tracks northward from the
f ^warehouse of the Waccamaw Line of
^ Steamers to the lake front property
of the Burroughs & Collins Co. This
L work was started a short time ago
after Permission had been granted by
the tc a ii authorities for crossing the
foot df 3rd Avenue, near the bridge
across Kingston Lake, and the necessary
rights of way had been obtained
from the Burroughs & Collins Comi?)0
pany. The track is well laid using the
I heavy railroad iron employed on the
main lines. When the grading had
reached a point about midway bejt?
tween plants of the Quattlebaum
Light & Ice Co., and the northern
I boundary of the lots of Burroughs &
_ Collins Co., the course ran into a bed
;. of rock which proved to be about eighteen
inches ir. thickness and extending
lineally for about one hundred feet.
This rock was removed mostly in
large pieces.
After the track has been finished
& the lake front will be cleaned up and
grade rounded off so as to make a
nice landscape on the side toward the
, town. On the side toward the lake
earth will be leveled off and a
walkway provided for on top of the
bank.

FALSE REPORTS |
* ARE CORRECTED
- ^
Facts Stated as to Coming
Election on the Prohibi- 1
tion Question.
To the Voters of Horry:
Finding that certain interests have
been circulating in the county false
! reports regarding the Prohibition
election September 14th, I would* like
to state the facts in the matter.
Any one qualified to vote in any
general election can vote in this election.
The registration recently held
was for thd purpose of registering
those who had never registered before,
not to register those already
holding, certificates.
However this election goes it does
not change the present gallon-amonth
law. 1 wish it did, but it don't.
Personally I feel that we should have
more restrictions on this subject, but
we will have to make a separate fight
for this before the Legislature.
If this election goes wet or dry it
does not change the legal status of
affairs in Horry. In other words, if
the State votes wet, only those counties
now having the dispensary will
retain them, the dry counties will remain
dry. Horry having already voted
out the dispensary, the election can
not in any way put it back on us. We
vote to say whether or not prohibition J
shall be state wide. This election will
decide whether or not wet counties
like Georgetown and Florence shall
remain a menace to, and financial
drain on their dry neighbors like Horry.
We vote to remove the few re
maining cancers still on the face of
South Carolina.
One other thing. The National1
Wholesale Liquor Dealers Association,
with headquarters in Chicago, is flooding
South Carolin with liquor litera|
ture. This literature is two volumn1
inous to reply to except to say that
,| the facts and figures that they .quote
are in the main false and without
foundation. One illustration will be
sufficient. At the present time seventy-five
per cent of the territory of
1 the United States is dry territory. The
wet and dry map shown in their handbook
shows only a small per cent of
this amount. They put South Carolina
down as though it were a state wide
saloon state while as a matter of fact,
as you know yourself there are only
something like six dispensary counties
in the whole State. In other words
the book bears the lte on the very first
page, and is therefore not trustworthy
The same liquor interests through
their acrents in Columbia, nrulpr thr>
guise of "The Local Option League of
South Carolina'' are spending thousands
of dollars in news paper advertising.
.Those of us who have the intrest,
of our fellow man at heart have
no such finances back of us with
which to answer these advertisements.
We simply ask that you consider the
source from which they come and
I make the proper allowance for their
deception.
Some men may debauch themselves
through strong drink and sell their
soul to the devil, BUT NOT BY MY
VOTE. Jehovah expects every man
to do his duty September 14th.

ON THE LIQUOR QUESTION. 1
Mr Editor:?Please allow me space
to say a few words regarding the prolibition
campaign and election now at
land. I see circular after circular and ,
saper after paper howling the slogan '
'Vote dry on the 14th," but not a
word do I see for "Good old King
lohn" whose throat is at stake. It reminds
me of the storv of the man and
i
the lion, when they were passing a
statute representing a lion slain by a
man, and the man says "look what a '
power we men are." The lion said,
"who made the statute, a man or a
lion?" "If a lion had hove made it, it
would tell a different tale." "There
are two sides to every question."
"Good old King John," has hern

ahead will show how ho will remain in
some form, and now we have men
styled as "prohibition campaigners''}
and legislators at a cost of several!
thousand dollars to the State going
over the land shouting from buggies,
automobiles, and pulpits, "Vote Dry,"
and make such unbecoming remarks
as hope you drop dead al thr ballot
box if you don't Vol Dry." Yea, the
merchants have "Dry" Goods, the
drug stores have "remedies" hut the
poor man will have no where to get
his "dope."
Our Most High Campaigners might
advise that he would he hotter off
without his "dopo," hut "Good old
King John," will come, and be here in i
our midst, let him come as he will or
may, we may miss his face to some
extent but not his works.
He will come branded as "Dry
Goods," with a serial under guarantee
of "Pure Food and Drugs Act" and
thIs act reference should be dated
Sept. 14th, 19ir>, but no matter what
the date js, "Old King John" will bo
on the job. * ? ? hm*'- *The
ancient Germans are reported
as having used saw dust to make
drink, and who can put away "King
John" when a man can take h hand
saw, and stay under influence of
strong drink a whole week ov more,
and is out nothing but a fence rail or
an old time wheel bench?
