Minister Speaks Sunday On Liquor Traffic Addressing members of his con gregation last Sunday morning the Rev. C. A. Calcote quoted from the Bible “No drunkard shall inherit the Kingdom of God” and “Woe unto him that putteth the bottle to the mou h of his neighbor to make him drunk” as he presented the cause of intem perance. His statements to the Pres byterian gathering were, in part, as follows: “Long before God gave the ten commandments to Moses, back in the days prior to Job, and so on down to Noah’s exit from the Ark, God was troubled with this intoxicating liquor traffic. It is such an issues today, and my statements concerning it are prompted from the standpoint of its violation of God’s law rather than man’s law. “The liquor business has always been a cowardly business. To get legalized sale of it here it had to cowardly hitch-hike in on a mammon revenue preitex, (which has (proven absolutely inadequate; for instead of lowering our taxes $500,000 as thought, our taxes have actually in creased $28,000,000. In South Caro lina last year we paid $57,000,000 in taxes, and revenue on liquor, beer and wine, only paid 4 1-2 per cent, of it, while crime, evil results of liquor, insanity, pauperism, etc., have sky rocketed. “Liquor produces 80 per cent of the idiots of this country, 85 per cent of the paupers of this country, 82 per cent of the crime, which is an increase of 40 per cent since repeal, and 90 per cent of the adult crimes, and 60 per cent of the automobile accidents, which is a 100 per cent increase since repeal. “Brethren, look what we’ll give in exchange for a few un-Godly dollars of mammon! What will man give in exchange for his soul?, God has ask ed. Well, look what we’re giving in this liquor traffic* “God is against this liquor busi ness because it steals. It cowardly offers a hand-out of a few revenue dollars, but in exchange it takes a billion-fold more from us in soul-cost, character, human lives, manhood, womanhood, virtue, and national self- respect. While it hands us out a be trayal ransom in a few tainted dol lars, it claims back from us 2,500,000 of our boys to keep the racket going. The traffic says to us in effect, “We’ll buy your boys from you, and pay you the sum of $2.00 per head.’ And we’re selling oui boys and girls out on that figure, and tall it ‘The best way to regulate it’. “God hates the liquor business be cause it is Infidelic. It has no frith in God. It continues its fight in spite of the truth and commands of God being directly against it. It’s pros perity means church depression. It scorns virtue, supports poverty, hates love, and destroys homes. It claims to know more than God knows. “The liquor business is on false promises. It promises prosperity and sends poverty. It promises lower tax es and sends higher taxes. Promises health and sends disease. It promises laughter and sends tears. It promises the elimination of bootleggers and sends two kinds instead of one. “The liquor business is a murderer. 150,000 die drunkards per year, and gives you 3,500 miles of funeral pro cessions. There are 900,000 whiskey orphans made every year, which would belt the earth with a column 4-deep. Each 4th orphan represents a widowed mother. Without a doubt the best part of a leave of absence is the homecoming. They probably don’t mean it, but “glad to see you back” on this side and “glad you’re home” on that side makes a person feel pretty good. And it’s really nice to be missed— at least to hear people say so. It’s surprising—the changes that can take place in one’s home town in six months, one week, and three days. This person and that has a new car— so-and-so is married and a lots of others—the Joneses and the Smiths have additions to the family—this family has moved' to another town and yet others moved in—new build ing and remodelling in botn business section and esidential section galore. Evidently a lots has been going on and yet it is the same routine of other periods of six months, one week and three days. To the off-from-ho mer it seems much more, however, and in spite of such feverish activi ties they say “we’ve missed you so much.” It makes one feel like a mil lion. Summertime? If it’s not hot enough for swims and for picnics where the flies and mosquitoes take you by storm, it’s just not the good old summertime, someone remarked the other day. These cool and refreshing July days have everybody wondering if the weatherman has been bribed or is he just intending to make the whole 1940 an unusually cool year. Perhaps these cool summer days are just an echo of that terrific cold snowy weather of earlier in the year. The Margaret Hunter park swimming pool, the Newberry county park, and other gathering places could stand “The liquor business is a dangerous business. Speaking of regulating the liquor traffic is as logical as try ing to regulate a rattlesnake in your bedroom. Billy Sunday said one might as well try to regulate a powd er plant in hell as try to regulate the liquor traffic. “If people are going to drink any way and be drunkards in spite of God’s law and displeasure against it, then let them do it without my legal sanction. If some people are deter mined to be murderers, beggars, thieves, and go to hell, then let them go without my vote and legal sanc tion to encourage them along. “I know something that Moses found out; namely that we cannot lead people faster than they are will ing to follow in these moral and tem perate reforms. But I recall that we once legalized the sale of slaves from auction blocks, but became civil minded enough later to quit that sort of thing. The same with legalized red-light districts at our cities. And I believe the time is coming when we, the same people, will also quit this sort of thing that gives legal san|etion to the breaking of God’s laws, which no man, nor any nation can break, or ignore, without paying the full penalty attached -hereto. ‘Wine is a mocker’. ‘God is not mocked’, and ‘Whatsoever a man sow- eth, THAT shall he also reap,’ says God. ‘Drunkards cannot inherit the kingdom of Heaven.’ I don’t believe we can repeal that.” more v.sitors. So please, Mr. Weath erman, let up, won’t you? Or should we say, bear down? On the Hill The Newberry College summer school appears unusually quiet this session. Maybe they were really down studying over there. The only noise about the place is created by workers at the front who are laying some curbing and fixing the front college drive—and that drive has been in need of something done to it for ages. With the faculty shifting residences on the campus this summer, return ing students will be somewhat baffled. And on the subject of the college— the best news coming this way for months is that the Paul Ensruds are headed for Newberry to make their home here once more. That’s real news! The Ensruds have been gen uinely missed in Newberry collegiate, church, social, and civic circles. We’ll have to call out the brass band to welcome them on their return. A Year Late Northern bound tourists from New berry seem few this year. But it’s true that practically everyone here took in the New York World’s Fair last year. They should have waited because it’s said the Fair this year has taken on a much more “homey” atmosphere and a grand thing—prices are very much down.. But had the crowd of Newber ans gone up this summer as did last year, by the end of August everyone would have been greeting his neighbor with “Howdy, folks”—the 1940 Fair salutation. The beach is local vacationists happy hunting grounds this summer. You’re surrounded constantly by someone who has just been or is just going and you’re ait a perfect loss if you can’t remark how much you liked or are going to like the beach. Oh, both er, I’ll take the mountains any day in the year. And they are postively beautiful this summer. That Drawl A group of friends from a neigh boring city made a trip to New York several weeks ago. Apparently the Yankees can’t get over the lazy (so they say) movements of Southerners as displayed in walking, working, driving, and not to say the least— talking. Our drawl, we always thought, fascinated them. But this group of friends received an adverse reaction. They noticed the people up there always ceased whatever activity they might be engaged in at the mom ent to listen to them talk when on a sub, in the hotel, or restaurant. This certain group was walking down the street one day and talking among themselves remarked they believed the Northerners like to hear them talk. A couple of Now Yorkers ahead overheard them and turned around to say in a curt manner: “Like to hear you, by heck, they ought to make you have a license to talk like that.” The South Carolinians were thoroughly hacked. Can you blame them? Civic Event The civic event (in a way, a church event) of the week and one many are interested in is plans for dedicating a church in the Helena community. Members of Aveleigh Presbyterian church, under the leadership of Pas tor Calcote and B. M. Scurry, started a smal Sunday school there over four years ago. They now have a splen did church building, one that was put up because of the goodness of many Newberrians who contributed in var ious ways. The Presbyterians sponsor it, but it’s a community chapel and is attended by people of various denomi nations. The church, paid for in its entirety, will be dedicated at an all day service this Sunday. It may be news to you that it’s the only church in Helena for white people and for many years prior to its beginning on Easter of 1936, there was not a church in the village that omce out stripped Newberry in population fig ures. More power to you Presbyter ians for the good work you are carry ing on. On Ice Cream Watching small ragged dirty boys swirling their tongues around a tall cone of ice cream makes even the best of us hungry and long for just one bite—especially if it’s chocolate. There’s nothing like it in summer and woe is the poor fellow whose diet keeps him away from the creamy round mold of various delicious flav ors. The guy who invented ioe cream should go down i>« Who’s Who if not in history. And the person who tries to pass ice cream off as just a young ster’s delight is simply mistaken be cause all love it whether we will ad mit it or not. And it’s particularly good in a cone.
