PROHIBITION CAMPAIGN MEETING.
Hon. Mendel L. Smith of Camden Orator
for the Occasion.
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.

no difficulties to the motorist
and the way is plain.
