TO REINSTATE CANTEEN. Since Its Abolishment Saloons Have Flourished at Every Post and Drunk enness Has Increased. The war department in Washing ton is in constant receipt of data concerning the canteen question and the effect of its abolition upon the army. Apropos of this a statement is made at the war department that only such information as has been contained in the reports of army of fiers upon the subject has been given to the public, and it is denied that any effort has been made to influence public opinion on the matter. It is said at the department that the recommendations of the adju tant general in his annual report were based upon the information contained in these reports. It iF pointed out that the existence of something like 1,400 saloons in the vicinity of the army posts is shown by the reports received at the de partment; 250 to 300 of which are said to have opened since the closing of the canteen. This further state menL is made at the department: "The majority of posts have report ed that drunkenness and court-mar tials for drunkenness have increased; that desertion and absence without leave has increased; that the effect of the closing of the canteen upon the morality, discipline and healtb of the troops has been bad, and, while many post commanders are, in consequence of frequent changes of garrison and from the absence of correct data upon which to base comparisons, unable to report as tc the degree of detriment created by the closing of the canteed, it can be stated as an absolute fact that in nc single case has a post commande' expressed au opinion that the effect of the abolition of the sale of Dee' in the army has resulted in improved conditions." With pference to the reports from the Philippines a statement has beer made epitomizing the annual report of.Brig. G*en. Sanger, inspector gen oral of the division of the -Philip pines; After narrating the evil of feats upon the human system of the native liquors the statement con. tinues: "To remedy these conditions the post exchange, at which light bee, was- sold, was ezisroising a wholesome4 infinence, and Gen. Sanger believeE that the emhange should be again made a possibility by removing all restrictions on the sale of beer and light wines. "To the fear, so often expressed by the opponents of the canteen sys. tom, that the sale of beer would initiate, or induce habits of intem perance,' Gen. Sanger shows, from~ a careful census of the 342 com panies of troops in the Philip' pine hIands, that in 60 companies every enlisted man used vinous, malt or spiritous liquors at date of enlistment; in 130 companies, be tween 90 and 100Oper cent; in 58 companies, between 80 and 90 per cent; in 26 companies, between 70 ane 50 per cent and 20 companies between 60 and 70 per- cent. Un * fortunately quite a number of met habitually drmk to excess, -and s this number will probably increase if the men are obliged, as now, tc resort to native liquors in order tc satisfy- what to many of them is t perfectly natural craving, the resul' will be most deplorable. Gerr San ger concludes with the remark that 'it is hardly probable, in view of thiu information, that congress ,shal] continue the prohibition againas the canteen. when it is evident that the sale of beer would be a precan tion against the pernicious habiti above stated and their fatal and dis astrous results.'

In 20 Years Mrs. Burns Raised 12 Chil- ThE dren, Fed Cotton Gin, Drove Wagon and Sewed for a County. [Special to The State.] Laurens, Nov. 20.-For individual ke and diversified enterprise, pluck and r frugality Mrs Ellen Burns, wife of th Mr. Albert Barns, who resides seven of miles north of this city, presents a notable illustration of what a woman thus endowed can do. She was Miss McAteer of this county and married ga ca Mr. Burns 20 odd years ago. They by started out with practically nothing, ci save energy and economy. The close application of which has brought its Rs RE sure rewards. Today Mrs. Burns is ve the froud mother of 12 children, yet 1 ke she doesn't hesitate to go to the gin at house and feed the gin all day or ed hook up a team and come to town. Cc They own a splendid farm, run a ri public saw mill and ginnery, the de tails of which she is perfectly fami- ru liar with every day in the year. Be sides this she employs no servants cif in the house, does all the sewing for of the family and when work runs low th she not infrequently goes out to the of neighbors for sewing. She does more; she even invades this town, so liciting mantna making. Of course the work is secured, which she de livers on time, usually making a un couple of trips a week to this vicinity. nil The writer has heard her express the of opinion that she could make a dollar we go as far as anybody. She knows in the value of time and money. She thi can purchase a bill of groceries as co easily as that of a bonnet or pair of we gloves. She is indeed a helpmeet sc and a betterbalf. They don't owe a tic dollar, set the children off to house - keeping as they get married, are preparing to build a new residence and have some cash which will prob ably be invested in cotton mill stock as Mrs. Burns thinks the mill busi ness the leading inaustry now. TRAFJIC IN GIRLS. A Scheme to Purchase Foreigners and Ship Them to the Interior. Id New York, Nov. 21.-Detectives p in this city are today trying to find the New York branch of the syndi- the cate which, according to Philadel phia disclosures is operating for the purpose of procuring girls abroad to* send to the chief cities of this It cowitry for immoral purposes. The German ambassador at Washington, y through the German consul at Wash ington, furnished the Philadelphia yo police with the information which led to the investigation, and last sae night a score of houses were raided and positive evidence ob tained. As a rule small price~ re paid for the girls. TheL agents come to New York, meet the victims when they land; then send them over the country. The New - York detectives said today that the Philadelphia raids recalled the fa mous red light dist rict investigation Su in this city. The rAported condi tions of Baltimore are as bad as New York and Philadelphia. Th A NEW DAILY. Th Al Greenville Likely to Have Afternoon Paper K( Soon.
