FLORENTIIAjis BUY BARGAINS
Florence; Sunday, July G. All the
business houses of this city, were
overrun this morning with bargain
hunters who sought to take advan
tage of the price reductions decreed
here. Many stores had completely
sold out their Mocks before noon.
The correspondent visited thickly
settled sections of the1 city today and
saw the eagerness of men, women
and children, seeking to secure eat
ables, clothhig, dry goods, shoes and
chocolate, These articles were sold
only on the presentation of a card
from the prefect's office, so that only
residents of Florence will be anle to
benefit from the price reduction.
It was learned today that -working-men's
committees deliberately chose
the stores they wished to have ran
sacked. These Included places which
were alleged to have violated . gov
ernmental regulations and war re
strictions in selling prohibited arti
cles of food at- exorbitant prices,
thereby making fabulous profits.
The king's commissioner for Flor
ence issued a proclamation today
placing the .population on rations
and decreeing reductions In prices
approximating 50 per cent In eat
ables. Restaurants and cafes were
ordered to lower rates 30.
The Commoner
will be world prohibition, and a great
Bubject it Is.
To hear Mr. Bryan is not mo.rniv
to hear an orator dtattafriitahnii
among all speakers of the English
tongue. It Is to hear a citizen whoso
unselfish courage and sterling
honesty lifts men to high planes of
tnimung and opens broad visions of
a bettered world. Columbia, S. C,

MR. BRYAN
One may stand in the first rank of
orators and statesmen of the world
though a prohibitionist. To say the
very truth, an orator and statesman
among the prohibitionists ifr not, in
these times, a lonely figure.
When a township has voted for
Prohibition, the cause has been pro
moted by the voting of it in the next
township. So, In the United States
the enforcement of the Eighteenth
niendment will be facilitated by the
abolition of the liquor traffic in Cuba
and the other West Indian Islands,
in Great Britain, Prance and every
where. ..."
