undenlably there Is a prohibition
wave sweeping over the nation from
ocean TO ocean. AS It rolls westward
II seems to be gathering renewed i'm
petus. One reason is apparent and
may offer an easy explanation OF the
thorough entrenchment of the prohib
ition forces in Colorado. refer to
female suffrage.
1t Is safe to say that nineteen out
of every twenty women in Colorado
are actively or passiyely supporting
the prohibition movement And why?
Because they are being blindly led
by an aggregation or a synod of non
taxpayers.
Until recently 1t has been, at least
a theory, that Church and State were
separate institutions Without any
intention of injecting a sectarian con
troversy into the prohibition ques-
tion II would seem that our brethren
OF the Protestant faith are doing now
what they damned our Catholic breth-
rem for doing few centuries back
| linking Church and State. And yet
in matters OF state. only property
owners could exercise the franchise
But government, being a progressive
| science, It Is now proposed by the
| Ministerial Alliance and the Anti
Saloon league to institute a govern
ment OF the churches, by the church,
and for the church, In which non.
Taxpayers will be the ruling element.
Let me ask for information, and Ia
that end put the following question
''If 500 prohibitionists were lined W
| In Grand Junction. dry town-how
many would there be who could say
that they are paying the Increased
taxes to meet the bonds to cover ord
mary city expenses since the towr
nue.? How many could say that they
pay taxes at all?"
Preachers, like the rest of us. have
got to live. This we admit. AND
they have got comparatively cas-,
easy shedding. Their churches arr
exempt from taxation and the onl,
concern OF the congregation is to NEE
the pastors salary.
Il Now, why would It not be a geo,
policy of goyerBment TO say 90 Tn

or pay taxes?" .q ~
Il i am not discussing the economi
phases of prohibition. but ! want u
call public attention to the fact tina
: this Is the first instance on record Il
which 1t Is proposed to turn the Stat

The Races at Dillon.

Last Thursday the usual sports,
Were at the Dillon track
Others who like to meet a crowd,
Yet the grand stand wasn't packed.
A test of speed between two steeds.
Alfonso and Marguerite.
Each counts their friends by many score
Victors in many heats.
In all great battles lost and won,
Where death and carnage reigned
The horse has played a noble part,
And numbered with the slain
Ever in song and story told.
Of matchless deeds performed,
The sunken road at Waterloo,
Fame; brightest page adorn
On many a marble pedestal.
The horse shares equal fame,
Beneath his masters noble pose.
He shares his honored name.
But this ideal day. to test the speed,
Was all that sports could crave,
Alfonso and Marguerite.
Looked the racer willing brave.
First heat, Alfonso led the race.
The second was all his own,
The third that put all dosb BITS at rest,
brakes matchless steed had won.
A thrilling sight 1t is to see,
This victor on many fields
Alert, alive to his masters call
TO show his rival flying heels.

Elsewhere in this issue is pub
lished an article from the columns
of the Latta News showing that
our enterprising sister town is be-
ing Disseminated against in the
matter of railroad facilities. New
railroads are crossing the country
on both sides of Latta, but unfor-
tunately the roads come from to-
wa1d Clio-the terminus Of the
Latta branch railroad-and as it
would be impracticable to parallel
the Latta branch road, it is read
lily seen that neither of the new
roads will touch at Latta while
there is so much undeveloped terri
tory accessible on both sides.
Circumstances have placed Latta
in a rather akward position, but
her predicament only adds
strength to the suggestion made
by The Herald some months ago
to build an extension of the North
& South Carolina railroad to Latta
by way of Dothan. Such a con-
nection would give Latta equal
railroad facilities with Dillon and
she would then be independent OF
the Coast Line or the other rail
roads which threaten to come only
near enough to do her injury in
a commercial way. A branch
road from here to Latta would
open up an excellent farming
country, and should draw enough
trade from Latta and adjacent ter
ritory to make the enterprise a
: paying one. If the present gen.
GRAFTON lives out its days it will
see a network of railways in the
Pee Dee country, and a branch
line from Latta to Dillon would
only be anticipating events !; by
half score of years. at the met.

shortage in Marlboro

Bennettsyille, October "a -
Special: The final report of the
grand jury for Marlboro County
called attention to the differences
in the books of the county treas
urer and county superintendent of
education.
1t seems that the grand jury was
unfortunate in not going into the
matter in detail and allowing the
public to know exactlv what it
meant by discrepancies. The re-
port of The News and Courier
correspondent has attracted some
attention, and a number of in.
quiries have been made in regard
to the actual differences and dis.
crepancies referred to. That re-
port read as follows: THE grand
jury finds that there appears to be
a discrepancy in the books of the
treasurer and superintendent of
education, and it recommends
t h e employment of 4 compe-
tentaccountant to au d t the
books of the county" T h e
words of the grand jury are as
follows: There appears to be
discrepancy in the books of the
county treasurer and those of the
county superintendent of educa-
ton, and the grand jury did not
receive any adequate explanation
OF the same, and would recommend
that these books, together with
those of the other county officers,
be examined by some competent
accountant.
In discussing the matter with
the treasurer and superintendent
OF education with more money
than seems to be due that office
from the books of the superintend-
of education. In other words,
the treasurer has collected and
now has on hand and has credited
the school funds with more money
than is charged against the treas
urer by the county superinten-
dent of education. The collections
by the treasurer n d records
thereof correspond as they should
with the books of the county audi
tor. The county superintendent
of education says that the Comp
troller General has instructed him
to check out this money and dis
pose of it by apportioning it ac-
cording to the rules governing the
application of the constitutional 8
mill tax. The amount involved is
about 81 900.
