PARDON MILL BUNNING Again thc pardon mill in Columbia has been put to grinding, and this time there were seventy convicts which came out of the mill as a result. Only a very few remain in the peni tentiary, and we cannot sec any good reason for keeping them there. Frank ly, we should like to see a ge neral am nesty granted and these few remain ing given their liberty. If Jovernor Hlease does not turn them all out, we trust Governor Manning will make this tho Prst act of his official career. It is inconceivable that the few who remain in the penitentiary, wearing convict's stripes, are any worse men than some who have been given their liberty. We stand for fair play, and it is not fair to the few remaining that tliey should he denied their lib erty. Perhaps they did not have influ ential iawycrs who stund in with th?: present administration to intercede for them, aud there may be other reas ons why they are still kept in durance vile. Dut, If they are a friendless lot, and have no one to Intercede for them, The Intelligencer will play the role of petitioner, and ask that they all be turned out beforo the 19th of Janu ary. If this be not possible, and our petition falls upon deaf ears, we trust the new administration will heed it and turn them all out. It might be very well, Indeed, for the prison to be cleaned out so that lt could be given a good airing, in order that the disease germs he destroyed, thOBO germs which interfered with the work assigned to tho inmates. "The [quality of mercy is not strained," but we can hardly say so much for the quantity. Dy all means let equal jus tice be done all citizens of the com monwealth, and all unfortunates Who have lost their citizenship. Campaigning for Prohibition. Opinion ls growing that the General Assembly will enact a law prohibiting the whiskey traffic In South Carolina, subject to ratification by a majority of the electors. The law should and will Include financial provision for its enforcement, Everywhere in the rutted States violations of prohibition laws Increases in difficulty and liquor sellers would aa well understand that, whether the Congresa votes for or against federal regulation ot the traf fic at any time, lt will in future be lory statute's in the' Staten-that, adopt them. wi ? If the question of State-wide nftV hlbltlon comes before the eke tor a of. South Caroling Ttoxt summer, ita de feat will not be accompanied without strenuoua effort. Plenty of political observera are predicting that prohi bition would win. A ??v?t ?tTcO?vc ou?
