Weire each county a tie to cope wvithi the question wIth out ee'isiderlng nelghbotring counties, we " itid not object to Its Settlemett biy ( niy local option, but exp~erlence hia< own that onie county cannot I-nl s:5fully colpe with the whIskey (Iul lin wh~ere thie adjoini-tig couinty hap. on sa le. Thlouigh a county hias a ili in toinn1 wIth te own affatrs as U it sees fit where those affairs concern itself alone, it cannot claim the right to settle of itself those affairs which also affects its neighbor. The interests of all' the counties of the state being bound together on this question, it should be settled as a whole. There is no better argument for state-wido prohibition than the im proved condition of those counties of the state which already have prohibi tion. It has been claimed time and again in newspapers and elsewhere that the moral life of those comni-ni ties has been greatly improved since the voting out of whiskey from them and these claims have never been dis vitted. The conditions speak for them selves and no other argument is need ed. If the moral life is better, the mental life must be better and cer tainly the money that has not been spent for whiskey has beeni ised to better advantage. The Advertiser does not believe that. a prohibition campaign conduct ed along the lines of previous caim paigns in which appeals to sentiment and emotion predominated, will 'be most effective. Facts as to the injury which whiskey does to the consumer himself and to those in whom he is interested are more impressive upon the mind of tie man who is in doubt. Tie example being lea(i by noted ath letes has done more for the temper ance cause in the last few years than all other agencies combined. Let those examples be made the subject of campaign arguments. T'Ill E APPALA'I IAN HIGHWAY.

A Neutral. The headline artist of the Charlotte Observer seems to think Bleaseisixt Is gaining in Sparta'nburg, Greenville, Laurens and Union because San I Nicholls won out for Congress. Why j bless your soul, Sam Is no longer a i Bleaseite. He is now a neutral.- s Gaffney Ieodger. Sam il J. Nichomlls. Satu J. Nicholls has apparently defeated B. A. Morgan for congress. Tihe victory is due to the superior gam1e 9f politiCs which Air. Nicholls played. lie secured his former vote, which is equivalent to saying c that he secured a good part of the I vote which the last state adiniistra-- I tion usually received; and such in- I roads as were made upon this vote, were compensated for by the ballots of many mien who were willing to bury the hatchet. Mr. Morgan did not force tIhe issue, and Mir. NIcholls liad ill to gain by letting the last lie dormant. Tle congr Iessma-oi at e Is a young mian of exceptionai ability. 'i'here are iany of his friends who I stoutly claim that lie never was, at heart, a ineiber of tle camp with 1 which lie formerly alliliated himself. le is a man of attractive personality, an excellent campaigner, and withal, lin this last campaign, lie has con ducted llls light lin a clean manner. It was no factional race that lie ran. ills advocacies, indeed, were very dif- a forent from the a(vocdeles whlich one c would have expected of him had lie I adhered to his former methods. Now lie Is a stout supporter of the presi dent, and now lie Is a constructionist. The News is dclighted at this, and the News believes that the district will not have reason to be ashamed of the selection. Mir. Nicholls has it in hiln to become a power In poltics. Al tIhiough this paper advocated the a nomination of Mr. Morgan, and want.- c ed to see him nominated, It does not I regard the result as a disaster, for either man is capable of making a representative.
