IF you tell the truth, you have in finite power in supporting you; but if not, you have infinite power against you.--Charles G. Gordon, &akes Drunkenness a Crime The legislature of South Carolina ihas passed a law making it a misde meanor to get drunk in this state, and .anyone being drunk on a public high way of the state will be subject to a fine. We think this is a very poor law. Drunkenness will never be decreased by any such law, and it will benefit no one, but work hardships on many. In the first place, habitual drunken ness is a disease and it would be just as sensible to pass a law prohibiting in sanity, epilepsy and paralysis as one prohibiting drunkenness. And who is to be the judge as to when a man is drunk? Shall a man be considered not drunk until he is in the gutter and unable to rise, or shall the legislature create another "board" to -decide this question, or shall the arrest ing officer be the judge? Reader, when do you consider a man drunk? Ask several of your neighbors this question and you will readily see how different the views are. Then who is to say whether or not a man is guilty under this law? Then the money collected under this law will entirely come from the poorer i hardly ever set man drunk or drink do their me other conve friends or em .ployes take care of them or take them home in automobiles or closed carriages, while the poor devil who has only his appetite and the price of a pint or quart drinks his wherever he may happen to be. If he is caught on the street drink ing he will be hauled in and fined. The state will take the money away from his wife and children, tho the families f the class of men who will be pun. 1ashed under this law are always in need Officers who imagine their jobs depen upon the amount of money they can se cure out of fines will only be too aler in arresting men without influentia friends. After the man sobers up he will feel bad enough, but after he hae to dig up money to pay the tipe and be branded a criminal he will feel worse, It will quench the last sark of ambitior mn many a man's heart and cause him tc "go to the dogs,' when a more k indly rem edy might fan that' spark into a flame and bring back to him his manhood and self-respect, Driving and oppression wvill never make a better citizen out of any man, and instead of kicking the poor devil who is down, we believe the state of South Carolina would do better to help him up. Why cannot the legis lators, at least once in a while, frame a law that would help the struggling p~eople instead of eternally passing laws which get them into trouble? Lawmalkers is the right word.

Laymen's Missionary Convention Mr. Editor; I have been requeste( to urge the churches and Sunday schools of Pickens county to send delegates or representatives to the great Laymen's Missionary convention to be held lit Columbia, S. C., February 0 to i9, 1916. The convention will be held in the Jefferson hotel auditorium and It is expected that not less than 3,000 delegates will be present. The object of the convention is to arouse and enlist men for world service in the great cause of missions. It is interdenomItational and will be full of interest from start to fInish. Some of the strongest men in the United States as well as some of the missionaries from the foreign fields will be there to tell of the world's need. It will be well worth the time and small ex. expense of any man to attend. The railroads will offer reduced rates as will also the hotels and boarding houses. I would like for every church in Pickens county to have at least one representative at this convention. And let me suggest that every pastor see to it that his church i6 represented even though the church helps pay the expenses. If anyone can possibly go and will send me his name on a postal card I will be pleased to furnish hi it a registration card. 0. F. IOBINSON, Pickens, 8. C.
