License and Taxes.

A statement appearing in italicized
type in one of the whiskey papers of the
county, is that License means a lower
tax rate than Prohibition" which asser-
ton reference to the records of the county
tax rate during the period covered by the
operation of the two systems in our
county-from 1881 to Ieo2-proves en-
tirely false, as numerous other statements
made by these license advocates have
been shown to be, when confronted with
facts.
Figures taken from the county records
show that under the fourteen years of
prohibition, from 1881 to 1890 and 1895 to
1898, the average tax rate of the county
was .764 while under the eight years of
license, 1891 to 1894 and 1899 to 1902, the
average tax rate was 1874 an average
higher tax rate under license of .o2H
than under prohibition, Notwithstanding
the additional thousands of dollars paid
into the county treasury in license fees
during the eight years of open saloons.
The comparative tables of tax rates for
the last eight years, four years under pro-
hibition and four years under license, are:

Tax payers, we submit the above figures
to you for your consideration. They are
reliable, being taken from the county
records by the Clerk of the County Com.
missioners, and are true statement of
facts as they exist, completely refuting
the deliberate falsehoods of the article,
published with the intention of deceiving
you and gaining your votes for the con-
tinuance of the license system in the
county. They are proof positive that the
licensed sale of liquor in the county has
not lowered your taxes, as asserted, the
average rate having been higher under
license than under prohibition, notwith-
standing the additional revenue in license
fees paid into the county treasury during
the operation of the law.
In the face of these cold facts, what
becomes of the assurances of the license
people that their system lightens the bur-
dens of taxation in the county? 1t in
creases the burdens. and the figures show
that the advocates ofthe system will stoop
to any means of deception in order to win
votes for their miserable cause.

Birds In Winter.

To see all our birds in their winter
homes we should have to travel from
the middle states down to the Argen-
tine Republic. We could see a great
many, though, by making midwinte r
trip to the gulf states. In Florida, for
instance, we should find enormous
focks of robins whirling through the
trees and alighting here and there to
feed upon the berries of the china-tree
and holly. Many birds we should find
only along the coast, and many others
we should have to search for in the
silent cypress swamps of Louisiana
and Mississippi. The herons love the
solitude of these swamps, where in
the numerous springs and streams
they find the fish and frogs on which
they feed.-Woman's Home Compar-

License is practical and profitable, "
we are told. Everyone has had "prac-
tical" demonstration of it in the crop of
drunkards turned out during its operation
in the county, and that it is profitable, ?"
to the whiskey seller, is attested by the
willingness with which he pays his license
fees in order to throw open the doors OF
his rum mill to the public, and puts up
his "divvy" for the fight to retain it in
the county. Do you want a larger crop
of drunkards to further demonstrate the
practical side of license, and are you going
to vote to increase the rum sellers profit
by marking your ballot "for license" on
the 4th of November?

The grog dealers and champions of til

The grog dealers and champions of the
saloon have trotted out their stereotyped
declaration of more whiskey sold in the
county under prohibition than under
license" in the hope of deluding some of
the unwary, but prove they do not believe
their own assertion by parading in bold
face type the amount of license money
paid into the treasury for the privilege of
dispensing Intoxicating liquors at public
bars throughout the county. Is it likely
that these thousands of dollars of license
fees would be so cheerfully surrendered,
and other thousands expended by them
to retain license system, when, if they
attached any truth to their own assertion,
these sums would represent a clear profit
in saving under piohibitive system, to
be added to the amount realized by their
asserted increased sales? The absurdity
and utter falsity of their claim is so ap-
parent, when examined in the light of
facts, as to scarcely be worthy of a contra
diction. Every mothers son of them
would work and vote for prohibition if
they believed as much liquor could be
sold under the system as under license,
and all those fees saved.

the intricacies of square root are inclined
to question the use of such apparently
abstract propositions. may be interested
to know that the whole system of modern
range'fnGer, by which the distance of
vessels at sea is accurately ascertained,
is based on that single proposition. A
small telescope on mount provided with
spirit levels. etc, is levelled at the water
line of the ship. The exact height of the
small end of the telescope furnishes the
perpendicular, the angle of the telescope
furnishes the hypothenuse and tables
carefully calculated before hand supply
the base or the actual distance for the
ship. Another table supplies the ''tra
jectory," the circle which the shell will
describe when shot up into the air, and
with these figures the gun can be aimed
with mechanical accuracy. The traiec-
tory is necessary because in firing at long
range big guns are never aimed directly
at the target but are pointed upwards at
an angle which will insure the projectile's
falling at given point, just as ball is
thrown long distance.

IN THE MEXICAN WAR
Showed Wounds That He Received
Whiles Fighting

There wasa unique character in the
city from Greene county attending
court last week. His name is David
C. Oadum, and he gave his age as
four score and eleven. He says that
he was born in the Indian Territory
in Mexico, in 1911, and that his
mother was a full blooded Indian
and his father was an Irishman. lie

hibits a which h~ereceived at that
time. On the left side of his face the
Jaw bone was broken and partly torn
away by a ball. In fifteen minutes
after a ball entered and passed
through his neck on the right side,
and while lying on the ground aban-
doned by his comrades, he was over
taken by the enemy, who to make
sure of his death, stabbed him
through the breast with a bayonet.
He survived all these crucible
wounds and afterwards went to the
State of New York, where he joined
! the regular army and fought in the
war between the States, when hehad
his left leg wounded by a cannon
ball. He now has sixteen buck shot
in his body, which he received IN
the late war.
The old gentleman is in good
health and says he can do as much
work to-day on a farm as any negro
in the State. He looks to be able tt
do all that he claims. His case il

stature and will weigh about ~
pounds. He has a bright, quick ey'
