1'RONIIII3TION LAW Is, EFFEVIVE JANUARY 1ST Iulchi L1iqmir Being Transborted Frot' Wet to Diy Cotitles in State. Peo. pie Getting. Lilnor While the Vet ting is Eay. Columbia, Dec. 26.-South Carolin lans are getting in a state of lrepared nless for iohibition, for everyone knows that this grand old common wealth goes out of the liquor business on the night of December 31st. In or der not to be caught at the mercy of the strong and militant power of thirst the general public are fast mob ilizing all the available resources of whiskey, beer, wine, and the other units of local option which is now on its last line of defense. A feverish ac tivity prevails among all of the fifteen counties and reports from all sections early this morning were that sundown on the day of December 31st would see everything in readiness for the forces of prohibition which will garrison South Carolina after the first of the year. The idea of preparedness does not seen to be confined to the. dispen sary counties. According to the in' formation obtainable from many un questioned sources some of thq in habitants of the counties which re pudiated the G. M. 1. years ago are joining heartily in the preparedness programil for prohibition and are busy asylsting in transporting the war stores of the fast fading dispensaries to places of safety. In fact it would seem as if the proposition is state wide. "Gather ye half pints while ye may," wias the injunction of a wise man who passed off this mortal soil some score years ago but his words of advice are being followed by tle South Carolina public today. Not only aire they gathering half pints, but, pints, quarts and even gillons. There are several stories floating around about this man and that man having bought so many gallons of rye or corn or wine as the case might be. "I declare," said all observer, "I have never seen the like of pcople buying liquor. This is going to be a happy Christmas in tills town." .Jurt then lie called the attention of the re porter to a squad of men who were .passing each with a suit case in his hlan(. And they were all coming from the direction of the dispensary an(f'the way in which' they were carrying tile suit cases showed that they were load ed. But returning to tile preparedness illethod, all kinds of transports are being utilized. hand bags, suit -cases, and grips are tile lost POim lar. Dut just anything which af fords a covering is used when tile other' conveniences are not handy. Paper bags, crocus sacks and even old clothes are remiorted to. Some not caring who knows they are preparing walk boldly forth in the full light of the sun fron the dispensary and the bright flashIng reflections from the contents of the bottles add to the chcer :anld spirit of tile hloliday crowvds wVhlih Jthrong the streets. >The closing days of the reinnants of thle "Qranld Old Moral Institution" are anlythling but sad. in fact there Is abroad a feeling of gentle accep .tanee of tile worst but a dletermina :tlon to b~e prleparedi. Tile knowledge ;that the edge of the (desert of dry -ness is close spurs those who haven't filll their stores to activity and cer tainly no Christmas shopping has cv er' exceeded that nlOW enjoyedl by the expliring diispensaries in South ~Ca rollina. Thie (G. M. I. will deparit tis life On the night of D~ecember 31st. Th'le shult ter's will b~e closedl and. the door1s barred at sund(own onl thatd (liy anid the 'dispensary will adjourn sine die. There will be little but a corpse left whlen the final (lay come~s for the heart anld body of the G. M. I. in other words1 tile stock, will, it appears fr'om tile 'way it is being purchased, have been safely carried away andl distr'ibuted In safe retreats wvhere It can be called forthl during the long hioui's of thlirst hWile the desert of prohibition is be :ing negotiated by tile peole of Souith Carolina. The mourners wIll be ab sent and tile closing will bring no tear's. COUGHS AND COLDS ARE DANGER OUR. F'ew of us realize the danger of C~onghs and Colds.

TO CRURM WHOLE MILK IS HARD ANSI COSTLY Practice Prevalent oin Souti Carol ina Farms Proves Burden. Clemson College, IDec. 26.-The greatest part of the farm butter made iI the uPPer counties of South Caro Hima Is made by churning whole milk. The chief reason given by those who follow this prictice is that they wish to make a large quantity of buttermilk but it is a very expensive product, as the following estimates made by the dairy division of Clemson College prove. When ten gallons of averhge milk are churned under the very best con ditions about one and one-fourth pounds of butter will be left in the buttermilk. This is worth at least from 25 to 35 cents. This means from 2 1-2 to 3 1-2 cents worh of butter In each gallon of buttermilk, which is far too great a loss to bear. To churn ton gallo 's of milk is hard work for a wom n--and women do the churning In most farm homes. With average conditions, she will make only 'four pounds of butter. To churn ten gallons of milk and make only four pounds of butter is very poor business. On the other hand, ten gal lons of cream should contain not less than 30 pounds of butter, and with the same labor seven and one-half times as much butter can be made when cream instead of whole milk is churned. To churn whole milk the temper ature must. be high and this often gives ab ad body to the butter. It i* hard to get the butterfat together'when whole milk is churned and much butter is lost in the wash water. luttermilk just as good can be made If skim-milk Is allowed to clabber and 1s then churned. If some butter is de sired in milk, add one: quart of whole milk to every 20 quarts of skim-milk. BRACE UP! Liv-Ver-Lax Will laike You Feel Better.

A 1EFLECTION. * When I look on the picture of old man Grouch in the Constitution,- the first thing that pops into my head is, I wonder if I am as hard featured as Daddy Grouch. The next, whether my wife has me under as good control, as Mrs. qrouch has her old man. When I see the 1milk churn between his legs and his wvife's cook aproni over hmis lap to keep thie mil1k from slashiing Over his trousers, it looks very home like. "'Papa I wish y'ou wvould churn for mle this miornling as I have so much to do." She can tell ime to (10 more things ini a inuite than I can do Iin a half hlour. Sometimies, I think she is afraid that I will get lazy, and wants me to keel) in motlin 19 work off the surplus fat.
