PROHIBITION IN THE SOUTH
The Argus, In commenting upon our
question: "Why tin; South is Lead
ing the North in Prohibition,1' assigns
these reasons:
"The presence of so many negroes.
"The difference in climate.
"Economic and busincs reasons.'1
The Argus makes these deductions:
"That the negroes under the in
lluence of intoxicants are more trouble
some than when sober: that the warm
er climate will not permit the u.se of
mi much strong drink, and that the
south has just begun a period of ad
vancement and manufacture and in
toxicants are incapacitating to work
men." The Argus asks our comment upon
these reasons, and being a southern
er, we will Liiswer as facts appear to
Us.
But first, let us see if our experience intoxicants lias its origin in the social
in the world should 'e worth anything, drmk. and we will go further and say
We went out into the world, home that we believe the great reform wave
less, at the age of V.i, and we have now sweeping the country is tlie result

to the Gulf and to the Pacific ocean. Wh.v not strike out the treutV

ticket. We have yet to see a confirm-
en or minimal urunh.iru among u.e
colored race, we never heard of one
having delirium (snake), and we
never saw u negro down in the gutter
or "wallowing drunk.' You might
verify this over there at ( aruthers- j
ville.
We do not think the warmer climate
makes any material delU-ieiicc, until
vou get to the high, arid countrv of
the uet, where the pulsations and
respirations are quicker, causing
stimulants to take more anil quicker
effect.
At most of the fuctor.v and mill
operatives in the south, as well as
most of the owners, are Irom the
north, perhaps this accounts to some
extent for the present high slate of
fever against the liquor tratlic, as the
southern people ar courageous, linn
und positive and quick to action, and
as it is a well known lact that the peo
ple of the north are the greater drink-
ers, it is possible that the great ex-
...ins of northern neonle into .i.e.
. ....i ;.. ,,.,....,1 ....... .. ...wi r,iii.itt;.
auijui in ii'i-t-ui ti.in n( aim iwiiunui
up their bubits of drink and spread-
ing same auumg southern laborers,
has aroused the ire of the southern
people. It is a well known fact that
in no nart of the world Is there .'real -
erchivalr.v, honor or higher morality
than in the south. The southern peo
ple arc the verv soul of hospitulit.v.
Nowhere else is there such eticiuetle
and universal good-breeding. Then
is it not possible when the coarser
elements of the social drink contami
nates their traditional customs, that
the.v would depart from them?
This leads us from tho siibjee. We
su. sociul drink, because our exper
ience bus led us to believe that the
social drink (treating) is responsible
for li.1i of the evil there is in Intoxi
cants; thutli"1 of the drunks and all
tho drunkards have their origin from
the sociul drink, and as It is the evil of
it and not tho drink, itself, that so
ciety desires to combat, it occurs to
us tout if penalties and prohibition
should be made against the sociul
phase, more good would result.
It may bo that wo uiv thinking
uhead of our time, but w huvuu right
to our thoughts und u right to express
them. Prohibition does not prohibit,
but makes crime, in the effort to pro
cure thut which It is sought to prohibit.
Stealing und murder cannot 1m pro
hibited. Pistol carr.v ing cannot tie
prohibited, The crimes ma.v lie less-
ened by punishment. Drunkenness is
the crime or product of Intoxicants,
which arc as old as time. It tukes an '
excess to produce intoxication, and an
excess is very rarely used only In a
social way. Then why not make the
social drink and the drunk a crime?
It is not natural for a man to stand
before the bar and of his own free-will
drink until he la drunk. We speak
from experience and observation.
We are as much opposed as uny one
to tlte evil, and wo despise a drunk
man more than a snake. We desire
a cure for the ovil.
As we have strayed from our sub
ject we invite comment upon what wo
have said, in the same friendly spirit
that wo have said if
WON'T "RENIG."
The Oaruthersvillo Democrat wants
us to "renig" on our prohibition
question, but we will never "do'er,"
Bill, and those who can't swim needn't
answer. There Is some deep water
dangerously near this question, and
instead of the wild, frenzied and fan
atical vu4 of doing things, we believe
much good may be accomplished by
calm and deliberate discussion and an
appeal to reason und common sense.
The commission just spoken of bv
Governor Hadley to settle tins ques
tion is along our line of thought ex
actly, and it is onlj in this way that
we can ever expect to arrive at an in
telligent solution of the iroblem. So
it is time for everv intelligent person
to put their brain to work, in a calm,
deliberate and intelligent way, to aid
to the wise solution of this question.

keep travelers from buying tickets
to Hayti?
This train leaves Hayti in the morn-
Ing and returns to Hayti at night. It
is strictly a Hayti train, and the in
terest of the traveling public demands
that it should be advertised as such.
For sometime past tho keys to the
city hall have been used indiscrimin
ately, and all kinds of youngsters have
roamed tho premises at will, and some
of them are cigarette smokers and an
occslonal empty bottle left about tho
place makes a bad advertisement. We
are making these remarks at thoearnost
request of some of tho tax payers, not
In tho way of censure, but for the bet
tor care und protection of their pro
perty. The tax to pay for this build
ing is 50? on tho $100 valuation. We
believe the custodian should appoint
some person conveniently near tho
building to look after the keys during
his absence, as it is impossible for
him to be here at all times. On two
or three occasions tho lock on the
main door bus been broken, one time
by a negro. We also think the doors
should be repaired and panels placed
in them, and that at night und during
rain and storm these doors should bo
kept closed. If not. in four or five
years time the flooring and woodwork
will be rotted out and the rents re
ceived will not pay the damages. The
tenants should be required to see that
the doors are closed at night and dur
ing rain. This building cost $10,000
and the tax of some of our people to
pu.v for it runs as high as $50 a year.
It is worth taklnsr care of.
