You cannot weigh nor ana lyze the devil in liquor. If we drink to get inspiration we had better remain uninspired. Liquor is a poison and ranks with strychnine, arsenic and opium. The merchant does not want a drinking clerk, because he is un reliable. Drunkenness and licientious ness go hand in hand-they are twin sisters. The great peril to the moder ate drinker lies in the fact that it gradually destroys his will power. The cost of liquors in this country last year is nearly one billion and four hundred million dollars. The railroads do not want the drinking man, because even moderate drinking injures his judgment. The banks. mills and corpora tions will not have the drinking man because he is unsafe and untrustworthy. Do you want to help redeem South Carolina from a great curse? If so,join the crowd here on the 2d of September. low are people who drink to be rescued from the evils of the awful habit? Come to Pickens September 2 and hear how. This is the best time in the world for the best kind of boys; but the boy who drinks is not wan ted-there is no place for him. Sir Fredlerick~ Travis once said: '"lhere is a great desire on the part of young men to be 'fit.' A young man caninot be 'fit' if he takes alcohol." T1he thing that "stings at the last with more than a serpent's venom is the knowledge that the drunkard is a slave, bound body and soul, to the drink demon. Alcohol makes our modern Sodloms. Wher~e it reigns and holds sway there we find slime pits, immoralities, debasmng hab its, godllessniess, crimes andl de bauchery. Ewyman who has hereto iore voted for, or who expects at the cominer election to vote for liquor, conme to Pickens Sep temb~er '2 andI listeni to reasoni against it. The successful athlete does not us6 inltoxicating liquors, for he is guided by the rule laid dowvn b~y Paul, "'Every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things." Ar~e you ini favor of temper anice and prohibition? If so come to Pickens on September 2 and be reinvyigorated in your dletermiination to drive King Alcohol out of our coun try. Nansen, the great arctic ex plorer, was asked, "Did you take any alcohol with you when you left the Fram to make your he roic expedition?" "No," he said. "Had I done so I should nevei have returned."

He has just finished his high school course at Pickens and is ready for college. But in school he stood at the head. He it was who brought the trophy cup from the state meet at Co lumbia. He also d e y el o p e d strong powers as a public speak er and those who .hear him on September 2 will not be disap pointed. Lieut. Gov. Bethea is known to many of our people. He is a young man of ability, a strong advocate of temperance and a most pleasing public speaker. Col. W. D. Upshaw is known as the spineless man. He is editor of the Golden Age, a re ligious paper published in At lanta. He is the cyclone speak er against liquor. Few men have his equal on the stump and when he fails to entertain others need not try. All who hear these men will be richly rewarded. Prohibition in West Virginia Mr. Fred 0. Blue, State com missioner of prohibition for West Virginia, has just prepar ed a statement showing a fifty per cent decrease in crime and a seyenty-five per cent decrease in drunkeness since state-wide prohibition went into effect. In an interview Mr. Blue said: "We have received reports from fifty-four municipalities throughout the state, which show the following resulfs: To tal arrests for the year ending June 30, 1914, 15,267- total ar rests for the year ending June 30, 1915, 7,731. For the year ending June 30, 1914, there were arrested for drunkenness 7,825, and for the year ending June 39, 1915, there were ar rested for drunkenness, 2,772. ' "You will, note there is a de crease in crime in the. State as shown by these reports of prac tically fifty per cent, and a de crease in drunkenness of practi cally seventy-five per cent. "I regard this showing as wonderful for the first year of prohibition. There are many other indications of the good prohibition has done for West Virginia, but to put it in abso lute concrete form is at this time impossible. With another year of prohibition we will show Imany other results. " The figures I have given you are absolutely correct, and are the reports of the different mayors throughout the state." The act of congress regulating the sale and use of morphine, cocaine and other harmful dra~gs has been and will continue to be a great blessing to hundredls and thousands who were destroying their lhves. In the same way congress can regulate the sale and use of liqluor. Wim. A.

Upshaw, who is one of the many Georgians who have gained a na tional reputation on the platform, has often been called a "successor to Sam Jones." and Gov. Bob Taylor declared he was "the only man who has ever drown bigger crowds than I have up among my native mountains.'" For a speaker to be a cross between Sam Jones and Bob Taylor is "some combi nation," and we may look for a Sam Jones and Bob Taylor crowd in Pickens September 2. Georgia Bankers Close It Out Four hundred bankers attended the recent Georgia Bankers' association, and by an absolutely unanimous vote closed out forever all spirituous and malt liquors from their banquets. The following resolution, introduced by Banker Z. H. Clark of Moultrie, Ga., was adopted without opposition: "It is with peculiar pride that we, the bankers of the state of Georgia, are :onsidered among the leading factors in the development of the state, not only in the financial and material develop ment, but in mental activity and moral strength. It is a compliment to us as ndividuals as well as an organization. Being leaders in the mental, moral and naterial progress of our country puts ipon us a peculiar responsibility. "In order that we may be unanimous n our solidarity for higher develop nent, I feel that we should be unani nous in our relations with one another. Some of us are unalterably opposed to the details maintained in this conven tion--thatbof serving liquors at our an iual banquets. 'It is mere detail,' you may say, And yet it is an infraction of principle with a large majority of this Drganzation. I hardly believe that a minority of this association desires to impose that detail on the majority when they realize how obnoxious it is to their sense of right. "Therefore I move that it be the sense of this body that no spirituous or malt liquors be served at any of the banquets of this association or in any way under the auspices of this organm aation." "My Country, 'Tis of Thee, Sweet Land of Liberty" The above is, or should be, the senti ment of every true American citizen, and when it comes to any duty in which our country is affected, all other duties should be laid down. There has been planned a temperance rally at Pickens on the second of September, and every true citizen of our county shoul'd lay down ever.;thing and come. Whyt Because it is a combined effort to drive from our borders the worst enemy t< our homes, to our churches, to our na tion. We owe it to ourselves, to our fami lies and to our neighbors' families. Come, hear Upshaw, the man withoul a b~ackbone! J. T. TAYLO~R, Attention ! A table will be prepared foi dinner under the trees at th4 court house.
