m A Plea For Prohibition. i We are again lacing this question of importance. which has for years been coming up before the! public rniml for settlement. Although we have not seen it j settled in a way satisfactory to us, we have seen omens of the coming! victory for Prohibition as a result of the eflbrts of its advocates.! And as election after election: passes away, tlie promise we see J in iheir results is on of 1 ri 11 mj>,%, J in the near future, lor this great and good jause. | Men's eyes are at last bein?r: opened to their responsihiiily as I voters and as citizens in allowing! this breeder of evil and nnhappi-j ness to liold sway over themselves j and their sons and daughters. We are a liberty-loving people and the hand of an oppressor cannot remain on us always, but nr lj|(?r mir <trfin<' ri<rllt arms will be raised in a victorious effort to be free. We repeat, we are a liberty-loving people, and yet there are thousands who daily and hourly bow in submission to this merciless oppressor without ever putting fort hone honest effort to stay jts power. They would not tarry a moment if a call were made to preserve their country's freedom, but would fight and die willingly lor the po litical liberty they enjoy. But when it comes to fighting a bligii I ^ terof hearts and homes, a producer of tears and aching hearts, they shrink from the field,although their on'y march would be a trip to the polls, and their only weapon a prohibition ticket. How long, oil. how longshall the feeling of indifference chill the hearts of men who are able to help those who canfiot help themselves! Voters, citizens, be what your better selves tell you to be, do what duty tells you to do, and the victory is won. Do not think Hiat your vote is useless against so j many. Let each man do his part in the work, however small his effort may seem, and it will not be in vain. This beautiful country of ours, will then prosper as it never Las done belore and our people will,be blessed above all people, because we will have uputout the unclean thing from among us." In the name of your State, in * .-..I me name 01 your community, ni| the name of your sons and daugh- j tors, in your own name, in thej name oi your God, think. If you have not felt the pain and knownot - the effects of this sin in your own home, give us your help for the sake of those who have. It you have been blessed so as to escape this human blight, you are the more bound to extend a helping hand to those less fortunate. Oh, that we all mighi realize to how great an ex tent we are oi'r brother's keeper. Prohibitionist. To Friends of Prohibition. Now for the second primary. Ler. us all get t<? work and use every legit male means in our ]>ower to get men to vote for and rally around the man who seems to be leading a forlorn hope, but \i'hr\ with nnr wnlor i>h/t nmvfirc can and will turn ,a seeming defeat into a glorious victory. Away then with any prejudice that does not hold with reason.Let us get to gether and put our shoulders to the wheel and get men to realize that this cause represents God, home and family, and that the! standard under which we are! fighting and hope to win, is the j only one that true christian?; should hold up at all times. Some men claim that they want | whiskey kept out of the State;! tn<> wsrv nnnn una* I.pt lie spp if they are sincere. Away with blood money in educating the! rising generation. May God help : us to do light always. Prohibitionist. It's better to marry and be boss than never to have bossed at all. i ? 1 " /. . * Lake City Locals.

We are glad to know that our county will be represented at the Winthrop Normal College by a number of girls this fall. This speaks well for Williamsburg. During religious services at the A M E church here Sunday night quite a little scrap occurred be tween two bloods of the ultra bru nette type, over a bicycle. They were tried and punished for their breach of the peace. Our townspeople were shocked to bear of the verv sad death of Mr. Theodore Unpins, of John sonville, which occurred about 6 o' cloekMonday afternoon at his i home. Mr. Iluggins was well and j pleasantly known to every body i in town and it is with profound I regret that, we chronicle his death j The circumstances are sad indeed., lie was superintending the work* ot his gin. and, seeing some thing! in the saws, tried to take it ou!.: when his sleeve .vog caught and j his arm drawn and literally cut to j pieces. lie bled to death within an hour.

John Perkins, a little son of Mr. and Mrs. \V 11 Parnell, was buried j on Tuesday of last week at Cedar , Swamp church. This poor child' was five yerrs old, and had beeu | afflicted from bis birth. We should ! see in his death the kind hand of a pitying Father, who left a message [ on earth, "Suffer little children to ' come unto me, for of such is the kingdom of heaven."
