o HYPOCRITES.

1t does not follow, as the Green
vile Piedmont suggests, that because
Abbeville's Representatives in the
Legislature declined in a recent pro-
hibition meeting to commit them
selves to an act which would place
Abbeville strictly under the Webb
law, they are recreant to their trust,
nor docs it follow that the Represen-
tatives look on leading prohibition
lists rs h%ypocrites.
The fact is, Messrs. Moore, Mars
and Ashley voted for the dispensary
in the recent election. They be-
lieved, as many others believed, that
the election did not involve the
Webb law, and that the privilege Of
ordering for personal use would be
continued. The Press and Banner
maintained the opposite view, and is
still of the opinion that the Webb
law can be made operative in Able
Vile county by injunction, without a
new act on the subject.
Now, this paper does not hesitate
to say that it believes Messrs. Moore,
Mars and Ashley were wrong in
their positions but they are honest
ly wrong. -
There is no Disgusting the fact that
prohibitionists are divided into two
distinct classes: those who would
really do away with the use of intox-
icants entirely, and those who would
lessen rather than totally prohibit
their use. Or to be more explicit
there were many men in Abbeville
county who voted for prohibition in
the last election who would not have
done so, if they had thought the
privilege of ordering for personal use
would have ceased with their votes.
The prohibitionists realized this, and
prior to the election, in order not to
lose prohibition votes of the latter
class, they undertook to co~ntravert
the article in the Press and Banner
by two able and lengthy opinions,
from Messrs. Greene and Graydon,
printed in the Medium.
The Press and Banner differs in
opinion from Abbeville's delegation
in the Legislature in that it believes
that the purposes of the real prohibit
tionists should be interpreted liter
ally. The leading prohibitionists of
Abbeville county are good men, who
were actuated by the highest me.
tives. If they have brought to the
support of their cause men who did
not desire such rigid whiskey laws,
these men were fairly warned; con-
sequently, it is fair to assume that
the vote in the county was clearly
for prohibition, and that too in its.
most rigid form. We believe it is
the duty of our Representatives to.
respect the will of the majority as
expressed at the polls, and we be-
lieve that mature consideration will
convince them of this.
The Press and Banner openly
stated that if real prohibition could
be had it would certainly stand for
it, and that we will do. We prefer
the Dispensary to the mail order sys-
tenn, but we prefer, ever more, real
prohibition to either of these.

Over the Water.

ALTON, ILL.,, May 23.-Robert Cowan.

he was soaring dropped into the
stream
A large crowd which stood on the
bluffs of Alton witnessed the accident.
AS the balloon ascended Cowan was
clinging to trapeze which hung from
the parachute. When he had reached a
height of 500 feet Cowan's foster father,
who remained on the ground, was to fire
revolver as signal for the young
aeronaut to descend.
The revolver failed to work and the
balloon drifted toward the river. When
midway over the stream the big bag
collapsed and fell.
A government launch hurried out, but
the crew failed to find young Cowan
who was clinging to the trapeze as he
struck the water. He never had made

MANY TAXPAYERS
remain CONFUSED
Current Bills Not Based on New
TrienniaI Assessment, Mr..
Richards Rejterates.

That there stin is much confusion in the
minds of taxpayers concerning the time
the new tHennial assessment becomes
effective was indicated today when As
SCISSOR William P. Richards received sew
eral bills made out for the current year
with requests that they be altered on the
basis Of appeals submitted.
Those who returned the bills were under
the impression that they had been based
on the new assessment, and they there
fore requested that the amounts be re-
duced on the ground that the ratings
were too high.
Mr. Richards had occasion to point out
to many owners today that the current
bills are based on the old assessment and
have nothing to do with the new one.
These bills are not subject to protest, but
must be paid within the time prescribed
by law, else penalties Will accrue.
Owners Should Call for Bills.
Owners who have sent in bills to be
changed should Immediately call for
them, as the assessors Office is powerless
to make any changes in ratings under the
old assessment, Mr.. Richards stated.
The assessors office was again a scene
of much activity today. Scores Of per-
sons called to inspect the new books.
Only about one out of every fifteen found
that changes had been made in the fig
ures carried in the old assessment
The new ratings show an increase of
about $15, 100000 in the valuation placed
on property In the business section. 1t
is believed that Il majority of the appeals
contemplated by owners in this section
already are in.
In addition to the triennial assessments
the assessors Office makes an annual as
sessment of new buildings and properties
that have been improved. This work for
the present year will be finished the lat
ter part Of next month. The period for
appeal on assessments Of this character
will be the first two weeks Of July.
