Crush it Out. Let us organize to put down the liquor traffic. Every church in every community ought to have a vigilance committee, whose duty would be to be on the lookout for blind tigers, and report every one who is found selling liquor. It is alarming how the law is now violated. We have recently heard-that at almost any large gathering, even at churches, that people are there selling liquor. If the comnmunity allows such viola tion of the law as this to go on, it will not be long before other laws are brazenly violated. Let the deacons and stewards of our churches band themselves to gether to put down the liquor traffic. Let all the women in all of our churches d< ride to put it down, and lown it shall go. Will not our L1pastors en courage such efforts? We know that they will. Because it's a baby town does Wattacoo? Have youi been blackberry t, picking yet?

The money kings are likely figuring out another move, but our coin goes on Wilson. Probably. "We hope the action of the Easley council in putting the speed limit of that place dlown was not forced by the anxiety of the people t o get, out of town." -Pickens Sentinel. No, no.

Fred Williams' Last Lette The following artile -is pul lished this week :y request < the family of Mr. Williams: "NEWS ITEM FROM THE EAGLE Mai,." "Mr. W. A. Harris, who livt at the Easley Mill, has gone it to the 'chicken business f< pleasure and profit. He set or hen on thirteen White Wya1 dotte eggs he got Irom a farme The old speckled hen set foi weeks and hatched -ten fi ducks. He also has a bla< hen sitting on three door knol and two base balls. Son smarty may think this is creation of Andy Burgess' im gination but is the truth. you don't believe it, ask M Harris." Mr. Editor: We clip ti above from your issue of ti 11th inst. 'T'here are alwa) two sides to all questions, ar before a person states things a "the truth," he should get i possession of all the facts co: nected with both sides of th subject, lest he does some poi sons an injustice. An injustic done in mirth wounds just a deep and its effects are as last ing as one made with the mos solemn gravity. '"A farmer'" (oes not know what material was giyen th< writer of the above clipping or from whence he got it. Let "a farmier" state some of "the truth," for he shall not go into letail, on the other side: A few ses('k ag "a Iarmir'' and his vif 'e ent to the cit y of l'asley, arryiiig. mi) olng other things, (n) ( ozenl eggs. Soie of these ggs we bought an(1 SomIJe w'ere romt oi' OWJI J)olltry yard. In ie lot of eggs there were chick 1 eggs, duck and rlliena eggs, rge eggs and small eggs. As I color, there was every shade mual ly layed by those fowls. he eggs were left in a store in IV city, and "a farmer'' went J.out the city -ittellding to his irious businesses and thought )r heard no more of those eggs, itil the above clipping appear . Theni "a farmer's" wife forned him that several per ns came into the store and ught eggs, one person, a show an she thinks, came the sec d time to get more of those argo white eggs." At that >int a few remarks were made )out, the eggs, "a farmer's" if o stating that "some of those 1gs were laid by White Wyan >ttes." She states that noth Lg whatever was said to her aout a setting of eggs. Cer Linly no one paid "a farmer' r any leg that day excep1 Lie owner of that store. If Mr larris got any of those eggs vhich I am informed he did, hI ought them from a merchan nd not from "a farmer." Her ye will leave the ten dozoi tggs, and take up another lol A. few days after the above ir ~ident (eggcident) "a farmer ~vent to the city again, thl ime with three and a half dos min eggs. As to origin, size, an ::olor about as varied as the te dozen lot. When some distant on the way ''a farmer'' met hi son, neither of them stoppe< but his son said to him, "If yo take those eggs to a certai store, (naming store,) you wi get twenty-five cents for (on 'a' understoodi by 'a farme] (ozeni." The eggs were take to the particular' stor'e, learnin that Mr. H-arris wvanted one do: on only. "A farmier" sat o the counter on the other side < the store room, nothing wvha aver' passing between him an the merchant or anyone else I regar'd to eggs of any kind c for' eggs for any purnpose. "1 farmer" did not see the egg that he took out. The mercl ant paid for all of them, allov ing twenty-five cents for or diozon. Why did not Mr. Ha ris send a note to "a farmer's wife stating what he wvante instead of the vague messag dlivered to "a farmer," or wh did lhe not infom "a far'mor rf his wishes In the store at th time lhe took the eggs? Ext the three and a half dozen egge The statement in the iter ~hat "a farmer" sold Mr. W.

Andther n y statement In the item is ti ten ducks were hatched. farmer" has been inforn that there were fourteen. 1 Y suppose that mistake was mi to create the impression tl e Mr. Uarris had gotten bad eg .- "A farmer" thinks a hatch r fourteen out of twelve eggs, I e number Mr. Harris said he i -_ out of the three and a half d r. en. a fine hatch indeed. tr Mr. Editor, when"a farmer e wife's character is assailed a k his own truthfulness and hot ) is trying to be pulled down, a e the standing of his family a trying to be undermined, rig . in a community where he h [f spent fifty-nine years tryingt r. build up these attributes, should be allowed to draw co ie clusions, from the facts as I 1e knows them. Hence, concl ,s sion 1st: Someone thought I d had gotten into a valuable secr Ls from the remark of my wit n that "'some of those eggs wei . laid by White Wyandottes. e Conclusion 2d: There must b some politics connected with I on the other side. "A farmer' , will assert that all coniinecte< . with it on the other side are o the spirit of the capitalistic class (Jonesites.) Ti h e capitalistic class, after they have by (lark and devious ways deprived the laborer of the products of his labor, will then strike at his character. After they shall have deprived him of his repu tation, then they make him an object of fun and ridicule, A person may not have the capital but he can have the capitalistic soirit. The old anti-Tillman faction was of that spirit. That same spirit will be here next year, but under a different name. "A farmer," as does most all laborers, belongs to the toiling class (Blea3ites) in the State. Conclusion 4th: . The item at the head of this article will be a mighty effective wea pon to use against any farmer, This way any unprincipled per, son, and there are a lot of them say, "Don't you remember th< item in the Easley Progres June 11th, 1913, about 'a farm er,' and Wyandotte eggs any ducks? Well, he is the on referred to," That will b whispered along the capitalisti lines and there the work is don( Mr. Editor. "a farmer" ha tolled all his life, sometime barefooted and in rags, to kee himself and family from bein beggars. We have a horror< entering into public print, bi we have to come to you all beg you for space in your pap< for the purpose Qf defending a that is near and dear to us that is our property, characte and .our occupation, which b farming. 1 (This article has been corret -ed a little a-; the deceased ai ;daughters decided to do wh< he read It to them Friday mr s ing.
