A TIMELY DECISION > ~- M The supreme court of thia state has banded down a decision which outlaws Jamaica ginger. This ?B a timely act. We hear a great deal of liquor killing people, when a s amat ter of fact most of the ills of liquor drinking may be traced to adultera tions and substitutes-ulthougb, of course, liquor itself has killed its pha lanxes and itu armies. Young men have been cut down by the use of Jamlca ginger, flavoring extracts and other substitutes for li quor. The writer baa witnessed deaths in n manner horrible to relate, due to drinking Hostetier's bitters and Ja maica ginger. Oh, if the jail walls could but talk how this country would ring with the recital of the miserable, wretched hours of the soul going away, goln out life debauched upon some murderous concoction, substi tute for whiskey. The supreme court of the state has laid Its hand on the sore spot and de clared constitutional the Dillon or dinance to prohibit the sale of "any Jamaica ginger or alcohol, or any oth er ingredient of a similar nature, by whatever name called, or any cider of any kind, without the certificate of a licensed physician that the same ls to be used fdr medicinal or medi cal purposes. . "The uncontrudicted evidence shows that all cider contains nome alcohol," says the court, "that all places where cider was sold, the rough clement of the community congregated, became noisy and boisterous, and, in some cuses Intoxicated and blocked the sidewalks in front of them so that pe-, destrlans had to get off them into the streets to pass by; that frequent ar rest for drunkenness and disorderly conduct were made at such places, and that they were In fact nuisances; that since th? sale of cider had been stopped such nuisances have been ubated and much belter order has prevailed. "The appeal questions the valld'ty of the ordinance on the ground that the council bad no power to adopt lt, and on the further ground that it is unconstitutional. Section 2994, Vol. I. Code 1912, confers upon city and town councils authority to make all such rules, by laws, regulations, and ordlnaees respecting the roads, streets, markets, police, health, and order of said cities and towns, or re specting any subject aa shall appear for the security, welfare, and con venience of such cities and towns, or for preserving heal'-b, peace, order and good government within same. The ordinance u -clearly within the prent of power." PERSONAL LIBERTY We do not know who is responsi ble for the agitation In thia county to set a dispensary system here, but it be or they could , have heard the peet address by -fudge Jeter C. Prit chard at the court house Sunday af ternoon, we believe the petition would be torn up. And again Sunday night U the First Baptist church there Waa n*r> markable address. Judge Prit chard (old of the scores of murder cases tried in western North Carolina in the old bur room days und then pictured the serenity, the happiness, the thrift and the success of the peo ple under prohibition. Judge Priti iiard bad been announc ed io speak at night on the th? subject "Majesty of the !>uw." We wish we could have heard that address and ?rust tba Secretary Burnett will bring liim buck for that purpose. Mr Burnett bas dono a great thing for Anderson-for the churches of An derson as well as the men who are not in the church by bring ing these distinguished speakers hero this win ter. None of them ba? made a more lasting impression than Judge Prit chard. With reference to the liquor traffic, he was especially forceful. He de clared that laws r an be enforced and they must be enforced. The argument that some people use that their per sonal liberties are being interferred with was touclid upon by Judge Prit chard in a homely way that knocked all of the argument out. He told this story: "An old resident of the mountains in Madison. N. C., pursued the voca tion of living on the corn patches that his wife tilled, while tho old man brought in an occusionl hog from some neighbor's pasture. This latter pas time brought the old inuit ?mo court where he was forthwith convicted of bog stealing_ A kind-hearted judge before passing sentence, said: 'My good old friend, you were a brave sol dier, you aro now 65 years old, and I believe it would be u serious matter lo confine you to thc prison There fore, if you will agree to leave Madi son county and quit hog stealing, I will suspend your sentence and let you go free.' "The old man pondered and scratch ed his head. Finally he responded: 'Jedge, that air propersition seems fair enough from your side, but don't you think you are a heap interferln' willi my personal liberties?' Judge Prltehurd said there ls just us much sense in the personal liberty argument advancel by men who would Bell and drink liquor, and ex ercise their own personal liberty, for getful of and disregarding the rights and liberties of others. As we said in the outset, we do not know who is j,us.liing the effort to get a dispensary here, and we believe that such an effort will fall, but if there should ever appear to be any danger of lt, why just pend for .Judge Pritchard and let him talk to those people in his homely, sensible and manly way. IT IS INSPIRED. Ever read the Congressional Rec ord? Really nt times lt is very Inter esting. Especially in these days when our Southern Congressmen are not talking merely for campaign bunk and for home consumption^ The South ls doing things now, and her representatives in congress are on the job. (It's difficult to write any thing these days without lapsing In to slang, especially If one wishes to he explicit.) But there is one thing in the Con gressional Record which every man can well afford to read, every day, and that is the opening prayer by the j chaplain of the senate. It is always concise, pointed and brilliant. But the petition which has impressed us most in his recent apostrophe to the Law, Dr. Prettyman. the chaplain, thUB ex pressed his lofty sentiment: Almighty God, we thank Thee i for every influence that has ever come into our lives that has made it easy to do right and hard to do wrong. Over every path of life i ? Thou hast thrown Thy law. Thy law stands as a barrier over ev ery evil way. Thon dost guaran tee the rights of men by Thine own divine sanctions revealed to men, made known by a thousand ministers of grace and love . Grant, we pray, that we may bring every question of civil ad ministration to the supreme teat of the moral law, '.hat we may re member that we shall be great in the elevation of a great nation, that we shall be strong In saving, the best for all the people, In pro portion as our live,, are lived In accordance with the will of God. Grant us thy guidance this day to this end. For Christ's sake. Amen. Men of South Carolina, memorise that prayer. Think upon ita every ; word. It ls a classic, it ls inspired. WEAR NEAT CLOTHES. The more money a man baa* ; the less ho Is likely to pay attention to bbl clothes and bl? ne rann. This ls wrong> The Bible itself teacbea us tb adorn the person. Cleanliness ls next to godliness and we Can't see j how there can be true godliness with out cleanliness. A dude lr a thing to be despised, either the poor harmless male, or the deadlier female'of the ap?eles, but a maa can be clean and go neatly dress ed without being a dude. A clerk tn the Chicago internal rev enue office remarked on the day thal the last income tax raturas wera brought in, that us a general thing, the poorer that men dressed the nigger a return they handed in. the bigger a return they handed In. Perhaps he exaggerated. Yet men came in who did not look as if they could sign a check for three figures, yet they showed up property worth millions. POETIC FF ET-AMI OTHERS In presenting to the United States senate bis recent article on health and how to regain it and keep it. Senator Tillman was forced to scold some of the senators for smiling. In fact he reproved them. Looking over the ex cellent article, a production that should be of great help to any man with hardened arteries and softened nerves, we sec this statement, among a number of others "Inhale deeply. Then go through the same movement with the left foot." Some feet, senator, some feet. No wonder the grave and reverend sena tors smiled We have beard of feet and feet. We have he?'d that the spring poet gaily trips the six-foot dactylic measure through the hexa metrice mazes; we have heard of the stately pomp of the spondee's tremen douse foot power; we have heard the fables of the gas man and the feet of which he sings; but this is the first real live, breathing foot of which there is any record in the archives of the United States senate. No wonder the senators -jmllcd. But any man with a foot that can inhale deeply should go higher than the United States senate. He should run for some office. RETRENCHMENT A spirit of retrenchment apears to have infected the Daily Mall, lt ob jects to thc "white way," or the ex pense thereof. Very good, lt ls com mendable to have a saving spirit righteously exercised. But there are other palpable wastes on the part of city. Well, any for instance a city clerk who gives just oodles of bis time to other than the city's affairs. ' ? CIVIC BEAUTY In rounding; out ten years of service the Civic Association of this city lias much of which to be proud. The pres ident, Mrs. Rufus Fant, stated in her report' that the "climax" was the great white way. Of course she does not mean that the association will stop with this'. There will be nothing antl-climalc about the work ot the association. iy;e. hear that the next 'move will be ?for. a beautiful park. This would be*a great thing for the poor. RECLAIMS J?RI80NEBS A few years ago tn a certain county jail there waa confined a defaulting bunk official;: - This prisoner- was small, kept In a kindly, common sense wi.'. The "trusties" worked on a farn. They were allowed to run er rands abolit the town. On ? few occasions this man was allowed to drive a wagon delivering chairs. Some of the metropolitan pa pers featured the story. It struck them as a primitive method, of jail keeping, that a man shut up for a esrlous offense should be permitted drive a wagon in the open air a use ful service. . .o doubt many people feel tKet such an offender should sit in his cell reflecting in a repentant manner on ?his misdeeds. This mood, however, had been reached long before. What was called for then was a different kind of experience. People who. follow magasine liter ature must be impressed by the amount of apace given within the paat few months to studies of prison ?life. One thoughtful man recently in jail says 50 per cent of the criminals could be reclaimed. It is claimed the ;reat majority return to crime. I Many prisons are classifying prison ers and those giving promise of re formation are allowed more freedom. They work on farms or at trades that wlil some day give them a goo* ::,mg. They are finally let out on parole, and thc probationary experience tends to fix a sense of responsibility. As we have said before, we disap prove of the wholesale releasing of prisoners and shutting down .of tbe state farm in this state, but we must admit that few and rare bare been the cases where the convicts who were treated with mercy have gone back to lives o? crime. We have been told ! that the instinct is latent, that the monster ls sleeping, ready to spring .upon being aroused. There ls no evidence to prove -bis, but eren should lt be true, our advice ls tba provers "Let sleeping dogs He.." In other words don't kick them. ? Give humanity a chance to reclaim itself. Ot cofrse there can be no real reformatio? baaed upon human effort unaided. THE BEAUTIFUL ' It ls almost a self evident fact that the creal white way will be a toed thing for tb* etty.
