The prohibition campaign meeting scheduled for Kingstree Friday was held at at 3:30 p m in the court house, only a small audience, principally town folk, being present. The party comprised Messrs W D Bryau, \V P Cause and J Davis Carter, Hon Mendel L Smith of Camden, former speaker of the House of Representatives, being the orator for the occasion. As a forceful,elo quent and logical speaker Mr Smith Has few, if any superiors in the -''.ate and ou this occasion he w?> at his best. He discussed the liquor question from three standpoints: First, personal duty, which is purely moral duty: second, a relative duty and third, the duty of cit'zenship, or a political duty. lie reviewed the conditions which brought into beiug " old State dispensary, declaring that such men as Rev S A Nettles, Mr Childa and other prohibition leaders, who accepted the dispensary as "a step toward prohibition,'* had made a grave mistake. While the old State institution workol well at first, graft crept in and it became the strongest political machine ever built up in South Carolina. He touched on the scandals unearihed by the investigating committee and predicted that in less than five years the county dispensaries would become just as corrupt as the old State system, however high above suspicion they may stand now. He cited figures to show that drunkenness and crime have decreased in all the prohibition territory, both in this and >ther States. He 6aid he considered the liquor question the greatest problem of the age and urged farmers to vote out whiskey and improve their aegm labor. Immigrants, he thinks, will never take the place of the negro )o the farm. Mr Smith cited figures alsoapplyng to local conditions, showing that about Si.72 per capita went out of PVilliamsburg county to buy whisky, >f which only about 71 cents was reamed as profit, the whisky tax in ;his county being equal to double ;he tax for county roads and school purposes. He closed/ with an eloquent and ;ouching app ' to vote for prohibi:ion on the f7th pf August. COLUMBIA RECORD'S PATHFINDERS Spent Thursday Night in Kingstree? Object of the Expedition. The Columbia Record's scout cars Attracted considerable attention when :hey arrived here last Thursday afternoon. Having parted company at Sumter the two parties arranged to ;ome together again at Kingstree. The Brush car, driven by Mr W It Fiahbume,arrived first, coming from Sumter, via Manning and Summeron, while Messrs McDavid Horton, ?elzer Youngblood and H J Kind,in he Buick,came viaTimmonsville and Florence, arriving here about 4 pm. )wing to the lateness of the hour tnd the inauspicious aspect of the dements, both parties decided torenain here over night and pursue heir journey to Georgetown in the norniug. According to arrangement the 'Pathfinders'Vere met here by an auto >arty from Georgetown, Messrs H J L'hieker, F W Young and Hon J )lin Sawyer, who arrived in town bout 8 o'clock and escorted The Record's scout cars to Georgetown be following day. So many people have asked the neaning of the Columbia Record's 3apital?to-county good roads movenent that we will endeavor to exslam. The object of this movement, as ve understand it, is to arouse sentinent for good roads from Columbia o every county seat in the State, _-i.: ? u:..i t 11&&1U? a uuutiuuuuo uigunaj nuui county to county. The "Pathfinders" are "spying out the land" so as ;o determine the most direct route :rom each county seat, taking into consideration the present condition )f the different roads traversed and ;he prospects for their improvement, )o that when the project materializes, ;he paper may be in a position to 'discos the subject intelligently. The run from Florence to Kings. ! tree, Mr Ilorton says, presents practically no difficulties to the motorist and the way is plain. Get DeWitt's Carbolized Witch j Hazel Salve when you ask for it.
