We have always wondered just how a real honest-to-good ness person can preach, exhort and cry about upholding the Cbnfl stitution by keeping liquor^out * of the mouths of those who want ~TH<r drink and at the-same- time violate some of the * strongest ~ parts of the Constitution. The 13th, 14th and 15th amendments1 # deal with the rights and privi-j leges of American citizens, the 18th, only with what those and all other citizens may drink. Which is more important?'

PEONAGE IN FLORIDA AND SOUTH?CAROLINA There have been more peonage charcres in Florida than anv oth-l^ er state in the union. Cor^it-J ^ ions seem to be worse there than even the atrocious'doings of the Williamses in Georgia. The y uunishment-hi Florida seems to d be a farce. From 990 days down ~p was the punishment-visited up- e; on some convicted of this crimes ^ Differently* however, are the tew guilty of this charge treated in South Carolina. Instead ofi^ "days" the culprits hear "years"p in the federal prison pronounced.. ^ "Judge Walkins of the Wc'stornj^ district Federal Court of South ^ Carolina, does not" believe in P playing with this offense, as the | ^ Halls recently convicted of peon- ir( age in his court can well testify. a With such doses as administer-^ cd by Judge Watkins of Smith jl Carolina, peonage jypuld soon be b' an' unpopular sport in Florida d; vvheie it seems to havo a for- it men in the country are -doing r< more and. have done more to a drive the colored people from the jd: farms "than the boll weevil-ever j h dicL will or can.
