The legislature will have to settle the question of what is to be done with the liquor left on hand in the dispensaries throughout the State. If it were left to us, we would pour it into the gutter. That might not be "good ^business," but it would be good mor ?IO. Forty-four new names added to our mail list this week?that is not bad. We are not going to be satisfied until we get four thousand. We thank each one of the new members of The Times family. We trust you will be so pleased with the paper that you will remain with us for life. That is the usual result?a subscriber for life. We do not fancy the wholesale slaughter of Americans said to be going on in the State of Chihuahua, Mexico. If Carranza cannot protect our people, President Wilson should take a hand. The mistake made was that Villa was allowed to escape. His execution would have done much to clear the atmosphere. But there is "catching before hanging." That's probably the trouble. We trust our lawmakers will not be in haste to pass a divorce law. We feel sure that there is nothing to be gained in the passage of such a law. . The reeki'ne divorce courts in manv of our States prove that there is nothing pained. The primary result of a divorce law will not be the relief furnished people who have been unfortunate in the matrimonial venture, but in the loss of sanctity for the marriape relation. Already there is a lack of reverence for the institution of marriape. The sanctity of the marriape vows make for the safety of ] our homes. Divorce laws strike at the { very foundations of our civilization? { the home. Let the laws we have punish the brutal husband, the unfaithful ( wife, and you will do more for this * country than any divorce law could ' do. We do not believe a divorce law * will be passed. We do not believe one ^ should pass. It is a move in the r wronp direction. o TO MAKE THE LAW EFFECTIVE. b f We most heartily commend Mayor Wharton, the city aldermen and Chief of Police Milo H. Evans for their determination to enforce jWoVnbitlori *j law. It is a move in the ripht direc- ? tion. And there is no doubt of the 0 fact that the law can be enforced. It | is almost always true that half a dozen or a dozen men, led on by the n desire for pain and also by a mistaken s -r .1 : ? tVio londors in ' View UI l/I Id I I l^livo, v: I/..V >vMuv. w ... ^ the violation of the whiskey laws. The great bulk of the people, ninety-nine t out of every hundred, would not en- p gape in a business that has been outlawed. It is the small circle of adventurous and untamed Individuals] that gives the trouble. We feel quite ' sure that the city authorities can and will handle the situation; and that the blind tigers will be put out of business. The sure way to bring the prohibition law to grief is to fail to enforce it. The charge is then made by j the very men who broke down the i law, "prohibition does not pionibit." < Tt is like a man poisoning a spring and then proclaiming that its waters are not good. The public mind is today assuming a very different attitude upon the whiskey question. More and more this demon is being understood and its true character laid bare. We have come to the point that our people, the great majority of them are deter MiMAyl Atnl mif /I Aiir r\ IIIIIllTU LU DCC H1C C?ll put UU IT II and the law enforced. We again commend our city authorities in the stand they have taken. Let the law be enforced. Let the blind tiger be put down. Let all good citizens rally to the help of the city authorities. And, it would be a very good thing if the good citizen, feeling that he cannot afford to be without a little whiskey, and must order his gallon a month?it would be a good thing, we say, if such good citizens practice a bit of self-denial. Stop drinking whiskey, stop ordering it, stop using it. You can uu without it; many people now refuse to have a drop in their homes. They get along very well without it. You will find that you can do likewise. Try it, brother. No. 9742. REPORT OF CC Citizens Nj AT UNION, S. C., IN THE STAT CLOSE OF BUS1NE RESG Loans and discounts Overdrafts U.
