lis affairs, it needs it now. We
are reliably informed that she is
I'M debt to the extent of some
$4,000, or more (not including
the bonded indebtedness) caused
chiefly by the abrupt curtailment
of the dispensary revenue
We believe as firmly as does the
captain that our people are as
patriotic as any people on earth,
but that is not the point. 1t is
going to take some OF the finest
sort of financiering on the part
of our city fathers to run the
town government on such small
source of income, and at same
time wipe out the present indebt-
edness. However we believe the
ticket elected good one, and if
the captain will kindly keep a
watchful eye and continue TO
give counsel on the many knotty
problems that may arise from
time to time, we feel hopeful as
to the outcome.
Since the captain mentioned
the dispensary question, we will
have a few words to say on that
all important issue. Yes, captain,
it was. voted out by good ma
jority, but.you doubtless have
noted the fact that the vote on
this issue was very light. The
people were disgusted, and just
ly 80, with the manner in which
it was being run, and decided to
knocksher out. But it does not
take Solomon to see that the
situation has not been improved
by any means. We would like
to know if the captain really be,
lieves that we are now having
prohibition 1t isjust as your
correspondent, Rustic, has said.
1t has been demonstrated beyond
shadow of a doubt that the peo-
pie are going to have their liquor.
The money goes to North Caro-
lima, Georgia and other states,
never to return. We get the
LIQUOR, and all of its evil conse-
quences ands. mot one scintilla Of
revenue. This was our stand be-
fore the dispensary was voted
out-.that it was, as the saying
goes, a jump from the frying pan
into the fire. If we can take an
evil-one that is sure to remain
with us--and get some good out
of it, why not do so? We are as
strong for.prohibition (not the
kind we are having at present, }
as any person in the county, or
state so far as that is concerned.
But, in our opinion, and we be-
lieve the facts will bear us out,
that it is worse than folly for any
one state to attempt it single
handed. We believe there is
only one way by which We may
ever,hope tc see real prohibition,
and that is through the general
government. The states would
have to act in union.
A great many who helped to
vote out the dispensary now rea
lie that the condition of affairs
has not been improved, and

not our purpose to engage the
Honorable John w. Hamel in
newspaper controversy when we
sent in the communication nomi-
nafing him for Intendant Of this
town. Possibly if you had pub
lished our explanation by way Of
postscrip, that, owing to the
fac that we knew the captain to
be IA very modest and unassuming
man, he would likely feel deli
cacy in publishing the nomina-
ton in his own paper; for this
reason we handed it in to The
News, relieving him of the en-
barrassment. We imagined we
were doing the proper thing, and
now the captain censures rs for
not publishing it in his paper
Well, well, isn't it hard some
times to prevent ones motives
being misunderstood. Now the
capt ain seems to imagine we are
trying to poke fun at him. It's
too bad In order to set our
selves right on this matter, we
deem it meet and proper to quote
the captains editorial, in part at
least, of Jan. 9th. He says:--
"Kershaw is at critical point in
the management Of its affairs,
and if the town is to continue to
progress in the future as it has
in the past, there will have to be
the very best management of the
towns government. The admin
istration will have to be syste-
matically business-like and eco
nomical from now on, on ac-
count of such considerable fall
ing off in its revenues, and the
extent to which it is allowed to
levy taxes being at sum which
will not make up the deficiency
even if the levy for the next year
is put to the full limit,
With these bold facts staring
us in the face, is itinot quite evi.
dent that our citizens could not
be too particular in selecting a
ticket? Under these circum
stances it does really seem hard
that our motives should be i'm
puned.
And the captain says we would
not be noticed, were it not for the
fact that it might receive more
consideration than it deserves,

JOKED WITH THE BUREAU.
Second Expense Account Of Special
Exam.ner Shcred He Had
Sense of Humor.

Reconnaissance of Pensions Ware
told an amusing story of the expense
accounts of special examiner of the
bureau, in the American Spectator.
The first account, when examined at
the end OF the month, was found to
contain the item: Porter, 80 cents"
The auditing office promptly notified
the examiner that the government did
not pay for the malt refreshments of
its servants; whereupon the exam.
liner patiently explained that the so
cents had been given to the porter
on a train for helping with his bag
gage. He was then informed that
the item would be allowed, but that

When the account for the following
month was received the auditor was
astonished to find a charge of two
dollars for cabbage"

SOME EDUCATED oRUNrERs
Pigs That Have Acquired a ;,egree
CT Intelligence Truly
Astonishing.

A young friend OF my acquaintance
at Kennebunkport, Me-, has a couple
OF trained pigs which are believed TO
be the most intelligent animals of the
kind in the state. He Jokes them up
ana drives them the same as steers.
says writer in the Associated Sun
cay Magazines.
Charles f. Holder, who through his
rower over all kinds of animals has
attracted the notice of psychologists
from many institutions, declares that
the hog has intelligence fully equal to
that of any other animal, except man,
and disposition singularly tractable
ana docile when treated with kindness.
He has trained a group OF grunt-
ers, and what he cannot make them
do can hardly be mentioned. These
arc not blooded. sleek pedigreed swine,
but are the rough, ugly. friendless, wan
dering kind, against whom is every
mans hand. They have been trained

two squads, as soldiers, Spanish and

pears to order an advance. The fort

everything usual in such a scene is
transacted with fidelity.
MIR, Holder drives a team of racing
hogs at good speed over the country
roads.
About 1915 London man created a
| sensation by driving a four-in-hand OF
| pigs through the streets; and 30 years

walked all around the machine and

and a moment later the auto was hik-

"Wetting the Whistle. ,

There is good reason 10 believe that

like manner the wet" seems to have

"whet" In rual England "Whittle"
is a common name for cutting instru-
ments and implements, among others
the scythe. Indeed, 1t was especially
applied to that farming necessity of
old times before the moving machine
and the reaper. In harvest fields
when a man stopped work to whet
his scythe or "whittle" he usually
took a drink of some kind, II he could
get 1t. So to "whet the whittle," or
sharpen the scythe, came to mean,
also, getting a drink. Hence the dis
tortion of the phrase into wet the
