King Alcohol to be Deposed.
A petition two and one-half miles in
length, bearing ll?.MO? signatures, has
been presented to the English Parlia
ment asking for the prohibition of the
sale of all intoxicating liquors during
the war and for a period of six months
after the war closes. Let prohibition
become operative in England for such
a period and public sentiment in its fa
vor will be created sufficiently strong
to bring about permanent prohibition.
King Alcohol will be among some of
the other kings of Europe that will be
sh^rn of power by the war.
Guilty Go Unpunished.
Not many weeks ago the town of
Edgefield was shocked by the attempt
of a negro man to do violence to a
white lady. The negro was duly tried
and given the death penalty as provided
by law for this grave offense. He now
occupies the death cell in the peniten
tiary and will be electrocuted Friday of
this week.
This negro was not below the aver
age of his race, having in the commu
nity a fairly good reputation. In fact,
when his name was connected with the
crime many persons were surprised,
and the impression prevails that he
would never have committed the of
fense had he not been under the influ
ence of mean blind tiger liquo-. How
ever, he drank the liquor, thereby de
liberately dethroning his reason, par
tially at least, and it is but just that
he should suffer the extreme penalty
of the law. Our homes and society
generally mu?t be protected. The j
[ point that we are leading up to is 1
the real or original offender was
negro who sold the mean liquor,
unlawful act was the prime cause i
more grievous offense on the part
another negro.
This blind tiger is still at large
joying his liberty while his patron,
whoseunlawful act he is largely resj
sible, will be executed Friday. Is
not a striking instance of letting
guilty go unpunished?
Saturday afternoon five miles nc
of Edgefield a shooting affray of
mean proportions occurred among
groes. As a result, two
dead, three are in jail and sev<
others who were particeps crim
are yet to be apprehended. While bl
tiger liquor, as usual, was one causi
the trouble, yet at the bottom of
and the real cause, was a negro won
who is utterly wanting in charact
It was over her that the two ne{
men who are dead, each shooting
other to death, had their disagreeme
And in addition to their death ?
brought trouble upon the three now
jail and probably others.
This worthless woman, like 1
blind tiger above referred to, is enji
ing her liberty and is left to furtl
demoralize the neighborhood, wh
two men are dead and others will
made to suffer for lawless acts
which she was the prime cause,
this not likewise a case of letting t
guilty go unpunished?
Now just a word to citizens of eve
community in the county: Suppress t
sale of liquor and drive out negro v
men of doubtful character and y
will have removed something like
per cent, of the cause of crime arno
negroes. Drive these out and pis
toting will stop among negroes. f>
move these flagrant causes of erk
and negroes will have practically i
cause for arming themselves.
Those who have attended rece
terms of the criminal court will rea
that the vast majority of the eas
either had their origin in liquor
there was "a woman in the case,
Suppress biind tigers, stop the promi
cuous ordering of whiskey among n
groes, drive out the worthless neg
women and the moral standard ai
mora! tone of the community will I
considerably elevated.
Finally, let's see toit that the guilt
the real causes of crime, do not {
unpunished.
Cotton Selling at a Profit.
Just how rpuch profit there is in
bale of cotton would be difficult for 8
average farmer to determine, as ?
many unknown quantities enter inl
the making of a cotton crop. But ce
tainly cotton is now selling at a profi
A cotton check was issued for a ba!
one day last week by a local buyer f(
more than $99. Think of it, practical!
$100 for a bale of short staple cottor
It can hardly be said, however, thi
farmers are entitled to any credit fe
the prevailing price. The short crop i
not in keeping with their planning. A
usual, they made all they could. Fii
teen-cents cotton this year is due t
a lack of well balanced plant food plu
unfavorable weather. Even if not ?
result of their planning, the short ero]
j and prevailing high price should teacl
the producers that it is far more profit
able to make 10,000,000 bales andrealizi
15cts. than it is to make 15,000,000 and
get only 10 cents.
There is profit in a ten-million-bah
crop but practically none in a nfteer
million-bale crop.
BOSTON WOMAN RECOMMENDING II
TO HER FRIENDS.
Popular Boston Lady Says Tonoline Has
Proven a Godsend to Her.
lt is always interesting to listen to
the statements of our friends, and
especially when you know they are sin
cere and' honest in ?vhat they say.
Added interest is created in a state
ment coming from one who has spent
a lifetime in Boston, where she is well
known socially.
Such a person as Annie Stewart, who
resides in Boston, and is possessed of
the respect and confidence of her as
sociates, and is willing for anyone to
call on her to verify the following
signed testimonial.
"I have suffered with stomach trouble
for the past seven years. It took the
form of indigestion and dyspepsia. I
had dizzy spells and headaches, and af
ter I ate a little food it would ferment
and cause gas to form in my stomach.
I had pains all over my body, and was
chronicallyrconstipated. My liver was
torpid, and I felt generally miserable.
I had doctored and had been in the
hospital, but received no permanent re
lief. I was so nervous and restless
that at night I could scarcely sleep.
The gas pressing under my heart
caused palpitation, and when I arose
in the morning I was just as tired as
when I retired. About two weeks ago
1 began to take tonoline, and I can
truthtully state that it has done won
ders in my case. I am feeling like a
new woman and can eat any kind of
food. I sleep the night through and
have no more aches or pains; in fact,
it has cured me, and I am recommend
ing it to all my friends, as it has been
a God-send to me." All druggists sell
and guarantee tonoline.
There are numerous symptoms of this
trouble that tonoline can relieve. In
fact, any of the following may denote
affections of the stomach: Indigestion,
dyspepsia, belching of wind, bad
breath, sick thn bbing headache, poor
circulation, night sweats, that tired
feeling, costiveness, coated tongue or
a poor complexion.
Caution:-As tonoline is recommend
ed as a flesh builder those not wishing
to increase their weight 15 pounds or
more should not take it continuously. I
To Mother.
Did you ever watch the faces,
In a strange and foreign town,
Of the people passing by you,
All on play or business bound?
NTot a one steps out to greet you;
They're a grim and dirty lot,
Ind the way they brush against you
Makes you think that you're forgot.
And you wonder if your presence
On this earth is really felt!
'Till you feel that life's a burden
When you're never hailed or met.
But you're hittin' on the wrong track
And you shouldn't be so blue,
For there's a Mother back at home
Jus' a thinkin' lots o' you!
Did you ever get to tryin, oh
So hard for something great,
And every time you hit the ball
You're thrown out at the plate?
When all your hopes of what you'd do
Have wilted in a night,
And tho' you pray, and hope, and try,
You can't see any light?
You simplv feel like giving up.
But NOT a quitter yet! .
Jus' take a look around and see
You've still your BIGGEST BET!
You're hitten on the wrong track,
And you shouldn't be so blue;
For there's a Mother back at home
Jus' a prayin' lots for you!
What Makes a City Great and
Strong?
What makes a city great and strong?
Not architecture's graceful strength,
Nor factories' extended length,
But men who see the civic wrong,
And give their lives to make it right,
And turn its darkness into light.
What makes a city full of power?
Not wealth's display or titled fame,
Not fashion's loudly boasted claim,
But women rich in virtue's dower,
Whose homes, though humble, still
are great,
Because of service to the state.
What makes a city men can love?
Not things that charm the outward
sense,
Not gross display of opulence,
But right, that wrong cannot move,
And truth that faces civic fraud,
And smites it in the name of God.
This is the city that shall stand,
A light upon a nation's hill,
A voice that evil cannot still,
A source of blessing to the land;
Its strength, not brick, nor stone,
nor wood,
But justice, love and brotherhood.

SAYS MRS BENSON ATE ONLY A

BAD.
"I do not see how any medicine
could do as much for anyone as
Tanlac did for my daughter," said
Mrs. L. Knowles, of 118 Sumter
St., Columbia, in a statement giv
ing high endorsement to Tanlac.
."Mrs. Knowles referred to the case
of Mrs. Bessie Beuton, who lives at
her mother's home.
The relief Tanlac gave Mrs. Ben
ton was remarkable. Mrs. Knowles
said. Her statement, describing
Mrs. Benton's ailments and the re
Bults Tanlac gave her, follows:
"My daughter, Mrs. Bessie Ben
ton, suffered from what was said to
be a severe case of pellagra. She
was treated by a specialist here,
and had taken pellagra treatments,
but she got no better while doing
so. She did not cat anything at
all, and I do not see how she lived,
she ate so little. Her stomach was
in very bad shape, and many a day
she did not eat over three or four
bites during the day.
"She was run down terribly, had
no strength and felt badly all the
time. Her head hurt her all the
time, and she was never eas}-, her
head ached so much. Her nerves
were so bad that you could see her
shake.
''We read about Tanlac, and she
decided to buy it. And Tanlac did
her a wonderful amount of good.
She has more life and energy now
than she has had in years. She has
a good appetite, eats a great deal

and seems to have no trouble with
her stomach. She says she does
not tire as quickly now, and
she works all day, but, before she
took Tanlac she was so weak she
could hardly do anything.
"She has gained some weight and
looks a great deal better. She does
not complain of headaches lately.
There is no medicine like Tanlac
she thinks.
"I am glad to recommend Tan
lac, and so is she, for she told me
she intended writing a testimonial
