EnqIand Hears Greece May
Join Forces With The Allies
BY ED l.. KEEN

United Press STAFF Correspondent.
LONDON, March 19.-While Eng
lands eyes we're fixed on Italy today,
a surprising statement came from
Athens. indicating that Greece may
yet decide to abandon her neutrality
and enter the war on the side OF the
allies.
An official statement given out by
the Greek government and cabed
here this noon denied there had been
any disagreement in the new cabinet
formed by NJ Gounaris on March 8.
In addition. il contained this signif-
cant statement:
THE government continues to
study the external situation. It will
establish its policy on a solid and sure
basis that will enable IL TO obtain pre-
else promises I'm the event that Greece
decides 20 abandon her neutrality"
Since Premier Vonizelos. outspoken-
ly in favor OF war, rendered his resig-
nation and a new cabinet was formed
at Athens, no reports of dissensions
in the Gounaris cabinet have been re-
ceived here. II was assumed that the
new ministry was thoroughly In ac-
cord with King Constantine in his de-
sire for peace. That the Greek gov
ernment saw fit TO deny that any dis
agreements have occurred, aroused
the belief here that the new cabinet
may not be 80 strongly in favor of
neutrality as reports from Athens
have heretofore indicated.

No Checks CaShed at POStOf6ce.

Postmaster Knight requests it stat
ed that hereafter he will be unable
to cash checks at the postofdce. He
states that it is strictly against the
rules of the department to cash
checks with postohice funds, and that
he has been checked against for ac-
comnodating persons in this way. He
states that he wants to accommodate
people in every way possible, but
that to ask for checks to be cashed
at the postoffice is the same as ask
ing that the postofice laws be vic.
lated. Although the postmaster is
personally responsible for any checks
that may be cashed as an accomoda
tion, the department says that il
must not be done, as nothing but the
hard cash counts with Uncle Sam
and the department does not ever
allow the postmaster the privilege
OF cashing checks on his own re
sponsibility out of postofice funds
Checks cannot be accepted for stamp!
or money orders.

Prohibition Election Tuesday.

The prohibition referendum elec-
ton will be held next Tueday. The
question to be voted on is whether
or not the existing dispensaryn coun-
ties shall continue the sale of aleo-
holic beverages or discontinue the
sale. The election will in no way af-
feet the existing dry counties. If a
majority of the voters vote to close
the dispensaries, the law provides
that the dispensaries will have until
January 1, 1916, to dispose of stocks
on hand, and wind up their business.
The polls will open in this county
at o'clock in the forenoon, and re-
main open until 4 O'Clock, p. M,
when the polls will be closed, the
managers will proceed to count and
canvass the votes, and declares the
result.
The managers for the county are
printed in the notice of election to
be found in another column of The
Herald this week. The managers for
the Bamberg box are Messrs. H. N.
Folk, R. S. Simmons, and G. A. Rice.
The qualifications for voting in
this election are the same that pre-
vail at November general elections:
Residence in the State two years, in
the county one year, in the polling
precinct in which the elector offers
to vote four months, and the pay
ment six months before the election
of any poll tax then due and paya-
BILE. None save those holding regis
tration certificates are permitted to
cast a ballot.
It is generally predicted that the
vote polled will be very light. Very
little interest had been manifested in
this county by either side up until a
| few weeks ago, when the prohibition
| forces held meeting and organized
at the court house and outlined a
county compaign in the interest OF
prohibition. So far as is known nc
campaigning or publicity of any kind
has been put forward by those oppos-
ed to prohibition in Bamberg county
The prohibitionists claim the vote OF
the county will be largely against the
continued sale of whiskey.

THE OUTLOOK.
By the Observer.

read the other day clipping TAX
en- from Chicago newspaper, the
Chicago Tribune, in which it gave a
a most scathing denunciation against
the whole South. The anger of the
Tribune seems to have been wrought
up over the lynching of Leo NJ.
Frank, the famous Georgia prisoner.
Now l would not condone the lynch
ing of Frank, or any of the alleged
prosecutions against him, for l think
it was horrible affair; but believe
most staunchly that the lynching of
this man came as result of such out
side interference as this Chicago
newspaper seeks to hand the South.
To begin with, the Frank case was
taken up by the Northern newspa-
pers, and Frank was held up as
martyr-Which was the veriest rot.
Frank was duly tried and convicted
under our courts, and this trial was
upheld as legal and fair by every
court in the land. In spite Of all
this, however, the Northern papers
continued to hand out scathing de-
nunciations of our courts and citi
zens. The people of the South re-
sent such interference, and this no
doubt led to the lynching of this
man.
ALI this talk about Frank being
convicted and finally lynched because
he was Jew is about the biggest rot
l ever heard Of. Why everybody
knows that the Jews are good folks.
Some of the best friends I ever had
were Jews, and the fact that Frank
was Jew, if it had any bearing at
all, which is not probable, no doubt
contributed a doubt as to his guilt,
and all the doubt that perhaps has
ever been felt was Influenced by his
nationality.
