You folks at Newherry may class y?our town with Jerusalem and Bethle hem, but please leave out Laurens. "Laurens is up-to-date. She is a little flow on trolley lines though. We would like to see one built between the two towns however. The Use of Cocaine. We haven't seen anything in the legislature proceedings with referenc1 to the hill to prevent the sale of co caine. Last year W. E. Bodle of 8a 1'ida introduced such a bill, but there were so many things on the calendar that it never became a law. The an thor told ol a number of instances of negroes made criminal by the use ofl this drug. The sale and use of this drug is said to bo quite general In some parts of the state?and in rural sections ut that. It has an exhtllrnting effect ui - on the user, followed by an equal amount of depression This calls for the almost continuous use of the stimulant. The person addicted to the use of this drug loses nil sense of moral re sponsibility and becomes a menace to society. In some cities, (linguists of low principle may be found who will sell the drug for the immense profit in it. The negroes who are the most generally addicted, call the drug sniff," for the reason that the dry white powder Is sniffed into the nos trils, causing insensibility to pain and producing hallucinations. Many ro called catarrh cures a few years ago ?were cocaine. The Laurens Advertiser and somo of the other papers discussed the spreading use of the drug by negroes and wo thought the legislature would be asked to pass a law severe enough in its penalties to make the sale pro hibitive. Hut the negro is not th* only drug fiend in the United States. It is said That the United States as a nation has become the greatest drug con Miming people 011 the face of the globe. I an it be that the American people, who esteem themselves the greatest if world powers, are becoming ad dicted to the use of drugs which have weakened the peoples of the "effete <ast?" The East Indian bc/.zled with ids hasheesh of bhang or ganjn, the Mongolian dreamily intoxicated with :he pai'CotlC effect of the inspissated juice of the poppy, these have been hold up to us as the most despicable objects in the human race. Can it bo that the American, in this great agrarian country of ours, is becom ing addlctct' io the hallucinating ef fects of somniferous drugs? This is recited as a fact. It is said that the ppco has become too stren uous and that artificial remedies are heing used to stimulate the wearing 'acuities.

Our Industrial and commercial life has become (oir strenuous, too ex hausting. Diet, sleep all things which nature ordains for us. are neglected or nhiised- and the. statement goes forth that the use of drugs to stim ulate the waning forces of nature is becoming a national shame.
