Prohibition has had oertain un questioned results, says a report re mintly made to the Federal Council of CVurchee. attar a careful Investi? gation conducted in seven large cit? ies la the East snd Middle West, f ei baps the first snd most notice ghee owe is the disappearance of the taUtuai drunkard, statistics gather ?il from Jatlo and from alcoholic wards In hospitals, snd the fact that many j "cures" sod farms foif ine trfatss have been closed or convert? ed to other uiea, both serve to ehow that the drunkard Is practically gone. He hat probably gone to work, ni? si ic ugh there le a possibility In some r oi.un a nit ten that he le begging, aa .he frequently did before the days of prohibition, in either case, the money he earna or acquires from ge; ir rous persons ssems to be spent pn food, cloth*n? snd other neces? saries*--- with sn occasional luxury? laetsad of paying for drink. The report further states that high naedteal authorities have eapressed their belief that the use of drug* has Mt increased greatly, as was pre db-ted by some who were fearful oi I prohibition. Laborers, too, have not carried out their alleged threat of ??Ho beer, no work." The real worry there, it as^sars, was not the ap teroactring withdrawal of intoxicating drtak. but fear that thby would be cut of work when breweries and dis? tiller tee slowed. That fear has prov? ed grduodlcoa. Meet of tnc big breweries hsva been kept right at work on other products, and the em? ployees found work easy to secure In instances where the plants were closed. Even our unrttfurallsed citi sens have shown far leas inclination to emigrate back to their native lands, where alcoholic beverages are plentiful, than was expected of them. It ts believed that general communi? ty and family welfare and happiness have Improved greatly under the new regime. That element, however, has been so complicated by high wages and contlnoua employment that it is difficult to say which is cause and which Is effect. ? Retail stores and banks both seem to have found that their busi? ness has been greatly Increased and benefited by the dry era. Whatever Its handicaps may have been, prohibition has largely over, come them, and mo... persons who were dubious a few years ago are convinced today that It is good thing. KIl?L THE RATS Vera Cms, Mexico, to suffering from an epidemic of bubonic plague, and the deadly disease has appeared in some of our own seaports. This dlseaae la easrrtad by rata The way to get rid of it, and to prevent it In the first place, is to exterminate the rat* For any city afraid of the plague, the problem is thus compar? atively simple, though not necessari? ly easy. Killing rats Is simple, but killing all the rats is hard. It can be done only by organised effort, and by supplementing the systematic destruction of the rodents by making buildings as nearly as possible rod eut-proof. Any city that has no great fear of bubonic plague may well war against the rats for other , reasons, The damage they do in addition to their spreading of disease la enough at any time and any place to make their eitermination profitable. The extent of da magst In the United States to estimated gt $110,090.000 a year. This rationale ts surely moderate \i does net'take aoount of fires caus? ed by rats, and a ens? amount of loss j 1 traceable to them) indirectly. But |1 the sum is quite big enough as It Is to make the rat deservedly un- j popular. Jt would pay the Interest j on several billions of our national 1 debt. IY would build 30.000 homes for homeless families. Applied for]] a few years. It would provide all the scboolhouses needed. It would en able school boards to pay teachers what they are worth, and thus solve, the teacher problem. It would pay for thouosands of miles of good road construction every year. All these objects, and many more,! are promoted every time you kill a rat. ARMENIAN COURAGE Mise Elisabeth Kelly, an American wr>man who has been engard in re? lief work la Armenia and recently re? turned to this country, offers an ac? count of Armenian conduct during the Turkish massacres that will give many A merle ns a new Idea of the |< Armenians. In the province of Aintah, where Miss Kelly eras stationed', she says|i the people fought the Turks with heroic desperation, against odds su*h|] as few peoples have ever had to meet. The Armenians were unarmed to be? gin with?the Turks had ??en to that. When arms and ammunition so from Franco fsiled to arrive, they made weapons from anything that came to hsnd. Cannon were Impro vised from the mangle tubes of American laundry machinery, and cannon bails that had been preserv ed In museums and on moumenta an relics of the old Crusades were fired In them. When no guns or pistol* could be found or made, she says: they fashioned spears after the fash Ion of their fathers In biblical times and went forth with them to meet | J the enemy. Women and men alike took f>art In the defense. Americana have often been heard It to remark that they would feel more|< like helping the Armenians If the latter showed more disposition to f help themselves. Apparently there < la no such lack oi courage among < them as some accounts of Turkish 1 massacren have seemed to suggest. , When they have seemed to submit i weakly to slaughter and outrage, It < was becauss an overwhelmingly au- ; perior force had deprived them of the only weapons by which effektiv resistance was possible. If this view of the Armenians is the true one und they are really a brave race as well as civilised, Christian race American sympathy will go out to them more actively.

The objects of the Campaign are set forth in an address to the people of the state of South Carolina issued to? day, as folows: ?"Every men. wonwn and child who has the privilege of calling himself or tieraelf a South Carolinian is vitally In? terested In the campaign to be launch? ed by the CtotUn Association, thd Mats Warehouse Commissioner, the Extension Service of Clemson College and the U. S. Department of Agri lulture for the purpose of arousing the people to the neceaity of maklg the first organized effort to work out the problem of the. scientific market? ing of their cotton. To this end three meetings will be held In practically rgnry county in the atate. The three problems to be discussed are funda? mental. 1st?To arrange for the grading of the farmer's cotton by a disinterested [>arty who will be an appointee of the Mate and Federal Government work? ing) under the supervision of the Ex- ! tension Service of Clemson College ind the U. 8.

"2nd?To arrange for building the I necessary warehouse space to take ^are of at least 60 per cent, of our normal cotton crop. "3rd?To Increase the membership >f the Cotton Association in order that It may be a potential factor in the iconomlc life of the state. "Jt is unthinkable that South Caro? linians wilt not at once recognize that this campaign and movement is of the moat transcendent importance. Noth? ing in the economic history of this 1 itate, that has been a pioneer In many 1 >f the economic, industrial and civic 1 movements of this country, is so vital, io far reaching and touches every phase cf our very existence as the In? telligent marketing of our principal ;rop?cotton. This can only be done by* first solving In a sensible way the two fundamental principles?lntell|- 1 rent grading and abundant warehouse mace. When these two problems are solved the matter of direct sales to the manufacturer will be the next ; itep and this will be the least trou? blesome If will only solve the pro? blems of grading and warehousing. "Surely. 8outh Carolinians, after theae many years of voluntary contri? butions of millions of dollars to other Interest, which contributions repre? sent their toil, their sacrifices and the surrender of their financial indepen? dence, will organize themselves under the banner of the American Cotton Association and carry out to the fullest extent the suggestions of those who are gladly giving their time and their best thought to bringing about a con? dition where the cotton grower will participate on a fair and just basis in the profits of his Invested capital and his labor.

New York, July 11?There was a! good demand on the opening from Liverpool and the South for all months, the contracts being supplied by professionals and on straddle by New Orleans. The market ruled ex? tremely dull and thin after the first half hour. The map showed consid? erable rain over Sunday in Georgia and Alabama and scattered showers elsewhere, all of which was regarded as favorable except for increasing the weevil. Charlotte reported that the plant in that section does not show the growth it should consider? ing the favorable weather they have* had for the past couple weeks. Ma? jority sentiment seems friendly to the market on setbacks, particularly the late months because of their dis? count. There was no important news and it is difficult to say any? thing new regarding the market.

There's one of a Georgia village that must the rest out last, I Not for its twin oakl massive nor stately icuppernong vine. Not for the big pear orchard where many people dine. Not for thundering springs though children go their depths as their edge, , And eternal vows of friendship their Innocent lips may pledge! Not for the mass of people who for years on its streets have passed. Nor the preachers, nor the dear sweet babies, it must the rest out last. I once had a wonderful sister, whose spirit there arose, But in the edge of that village her body lies in repose, A rare example of love* for all that ever did grow. She breathed the breath of life one winter of long ago. Hand in hand we walked together the paths of childhood ways. And made our plans for the future ?those far off grown up days, But her feet in that village grew weary, and early one August morn. The spirit returned to God in the town where she'd been born. Softly, her cold arms folded moth? er's neck in a warm embrace. And a look of eternal sweetness spread over her dying face. It was as if the Father held up some priceless gift, And she hesitated to receive it, not knowing 'twere a heavenly lift. Therefore, of all the memories, that hold me to the past. The one of the Georgia village must all the rest out last. R. F. H.
