Now, here he was seated in the lobby of the most prom inent hotel in New York, undoubtedly cursing a world ungrateful enough to remain peaceful six months at a time. Bain- tree was possessed of a martial wanderlust.
 "No," he said, in am swer to my question, 1T am no emissary this time. I came back to New York on personal business family affairs, you know Even we wanderers have family affairs sometimes. For a brief period I ac- tually was heir to a for tune: but, alas, there were other heirs who thought I had no right to the shekels, and, sooner than have trouble in the family. I chucked the whole matter up and left them to fight it out among themselves"
 This was not wholly the truth. I afterward learned that there were two other beneficiaries under the will of his aunt Git was a spinster aunt who had willed him her property), and when Baintree discovered that one was a cripple, he ab- dicated his claim because ..there was only enough for one" It was charac- teristic of him.

 Show them in, Han nah, show them in,," said the rector, cheeri1y, and waited for the approach of the wedding party.
 Piloted by Hannah, they came. The rector surveyed them keen1y. The prospective groom was of decided Hebraic countenance; his race could not be mistaken. But the woman was not of his race. She was per- haps thirty years old, not pretty, but with a face W h i c h interested the clergyman at once. It was a face such as he liked plain and strong and good.
 He asked the prelimi- nary questions, satisfied himself as to the propri- ety of the marriage. brought forth his register and proceeded, with the ceremony.
 Isaac Borofsky beamed radiantly as the clergy man pronounced the cou- pie man and wife. He turned to his bride as if to kiss her. And then he hesitated.

Something jingled as he put it on the table. The rector, hearing the rattle of the coin and watching the triumphant satisfac- tion upon the Jews face. decided that the sum- total of the jingling coin might amount to a dol lar. But he thanked the bridegroom very cour- teously.

VOTING ON INCOME TAX.

Two states so far have given
consideration to the income tax
amendment adopted recently by
congress, In Alabama the legis-
lature hurried the resolution
through both houses. In Geor-
gia the amendment was not Civ

has not been defeated and it
does not appear that it viii be;
but consideration of it has been
baked by a vigorous lobby
gathered there for the special
purpose of blocking if not killing
the amendment. Even the lead
ers Of the lobby doubt if they
cannot defeat it, although they
may prevent action at the pre-
sent session. Illinois will prob
ably be the next state to take
up the amendment. 1t has one
of the worst boss-ridden legisla-
lures in the west, and fears are
entertained that the amendment
may be defeated there. Those
who oppose the amendment will
put forth special efforts to secure
it's defeat in Illinois, hoping that
adverse action there would ex-
ercise the desired influence in
othercommonwealths. The more
probable result will be to stimu-
late thecampaign in favor of the
income tax and ogive the move
ment additional strength. In
the west the income tax PROPOSE
ton is very popular, but action
will be delayed because most of
the states will not vote until
1911. When they do record
themselves, there is little doubt
that very large majority Of
them will go on record in favor
of the amendment. Next winter
legislatures will meet in New Eng
land and adjoining eastern
states and after they have acted

To the EditOr:-During the late pro-
hibition campaign, there were people
who earnestly contended that if pro-
hibifion prevailed it would ruin OK
ford. They contended that it would
greatly lessen the business of the town.
and would greatly increase taxes.
In one respect, prohibition came in
North Carolina in an unfavorable time.
1t come at the time when the late
money panic was much talked of, and
seriously felt by many. The depres-
sion that come to many business en-
terprises from the money panic, was
claimed to be a result of prohibition.
But what has been the result Of prohi-
bition in Oxford? The dispensary was
a great improvement on open BAR
rooms, but since the dispensary was
closed the town has made greater
pTOgreS than ever before in her his
tory. There are more and better new
buildings going up~than ever before
in the history Of the Town prop
erty is selling higher than ever be-
fore, taxes. are some lower under the
first year of prohibition than under the
last year Of Whiskey And as the
years go by, if the prohibition law is
enforced. which | am glad to say our
sheriff and other officers are trying
to do, prosperity will increase, and
taxes and crime will diminish.
| recently talked with a prominent,
successful business man of Danville,
Va. He sale last year when they
voted liquor out of the city, the whis-
key lovers said the city was financially
ruined. But he said business had i'm
proved, and that there were about one
hundred more new houses going up
in tho citU this wear than last Ho
said that peace and good order in his
city had been greatly promoted; ard
that the sentiment in favor of pro-
hibition was daily growing stronger.
He also believes that the next Vir-
ginia Legislature will submit the ques-
ton of Statewide prohibition to the
vote of the people.
We welcome the kind of ruin pro-
hibition has brought to Oxford-the
lessening of crime and poverty, and
increase of business.

Large Decrease in Gases Before the
Mayor.
(Greenville Reflu

(Greenville Refractory
On the first Of July prohibition un-
der the State law had been in effect
only six months. For some years pre-
vious to that time saloons had been
closed in G~reenville and the town had
a dispensary. Even that change had
brought about q noticeable difference
in the sobriety of the people, and this
has been all the more pronounced
since the dispensary was closed and
prohibition has prevailed.
To get at some statistics bearing
upon the improved conditions. The
Reflector called upon Mayor II. w.
Whedhee to ascertain what his court
docketS show before and since prohibi-
ton went into effect. The result of
his investigation was marvellous and
shows an Improvement that is most
gratifying. This period of eXamina-
ton covered the last six months that
the diSpensary was in operation. from
July 1st to December 31st. 1908, COM
pared with the first six months under
prohibition, from January 1st to June
30th. 1909. The figures speak for
themselves:
For the six months in 1908, July
to December inclusive, the total
amount of fines imposed by the mayor
in cases before him was S210.SS While
for the six months in 1909, January
to June inclusive, the mount was
only $23.l5. For the same SIX months
in 1908 the number of cases tried by
the mayo that were for drunkenness
or known to be caused solely by
liquor was 90, while for the same six
months in 1909, the m was only
20 including blind tiger cases.
h total number of cases of all
kinds tried by. the mayor during the
six months of 1908 were 23S, anU the
six months in 1909 they were only IA.
Thus it will be seen that there has
not only been a large falling off in
whiskey cases, but the decrease in
all manner of offenses against the law
has ben almost as great. 1t was also
noticeable that of the cases the may
or tried since prohibition went into
effect a larg majority of them were of
such minor gravity that he did not
impose fines exceeding a penny, deem
ing the paymnt of costs sufficient pun
iShmnt for the ~OffenSe.
