Certificates Are Required.

The travelling public of Bamberg
county is reminded that children are
not being allowed to ride upon trains
except when certificates are present
ed showing that the child is free from
infantile paralysis and that it does
not come from an infected district.
These certificates must be issued by
the family physician.
This county is free of the plague,
so far as is known. No cases have
been reported, and several rumors to
the effect that cases had developed
in the county are said to be without
foundation.

The Citadel Examination.

Last Friday, August 18th, was the
date advertised for holding the ex-
animation at the court house to fill
a scholarship vacancy at the Citadel
Four young men were ready to stand
the examination, but the examination
was not held. 1t seems that the pa
pers, which were forwarded to the
superintendent of education by the
Citadel authorities several days pre-
vious by registered letter, could not
be located. The father of one of the
young men telephoned to the Citadel
Friday night about the matter, and
was informed that the papers were
duly forwarded. The letter containing
the papers, it is stated, was signed
for at the local postofice by an as
sistant to the county superintendent,
who was absent from the office Fri
day. The examination was held all
over the State on August 18th, the
same questions being used in each
county.
Arrangements have been made to
hold the examination next Friday
morning. The examination will not
be held at the court house by the
county superintendent of education,
as usual, but will be held at the
graded school by Prof. E. P. Allen.
New Questions have been prepared.
Prof. Allen requests that all appli-
cants be on hand at the graded school
promptly at nine o'clock Friday
morning, August 18th.

Mr. Speaker. / cannot agree with
my friend from Washington. Mr..
Humphrey, that there is no reason
why a republican should vote for this
bill"
Following this blunt Introductory
sentence, Rep. James W. Good. OF
Iowa, republican. in speech in the
house Monday. July 10. during the
closing hours of debate upon the
democratic omnibus revenue bill.
gave convincing reasons defying the
reactiOnary leaders Of his party and
supporting the democratic provision
for paying the cost of military pre-
paredness. Thirty-eight other repub-
lican and progressive co ressmen.
Rep. William Kent, independent, and
Rep Meyer London, socialist, join
ed the democrats in this vote
Mr.. Good, therefore. bespoke the
views of many of his republican as
sociates in the house. The vote was
typical of many prior votes during
this and the last congress which
showed practical unanimity among
the democrats on progressive meas
q
the old-line reactionary republicans
on the one hand and the prOgressives
and progressive republicans on the
other hand.
G.. o. Il. Tariff Would Fail.
Mr. Good pointed out that if the
present demand for military prepar-
edness had come at the beginning of
the Taft administration in 1909 and
under a republican tariff, there
would haze been a treasury deficit
for the four years of more than ST.
500. 900, 600. Expenditures includ-
ing the outlay for preparedness es-
timated on the cost for this year,
would have exceeded the revenues
collected during those four years
including returns from President
Tafts corporation tax and customs
receipts under the Payne-Aldrich
tariff-by the huge sum, 10 be exact,
of $1.62O,O7174S.
Where would we have obtained
the money 10 pay for this increased
cost of preparedness - Mr.. Good in
quired OF Messrs. Mann, Fordney,
Moore and the other high-prOtec-
ton and reactionary republican lead
ers who had vainly attempted 10
keep the republican side together in
opposition TO the bill Certainly we
would not have increased the tariff
duties. The defeat of the republican
house in 1910 was so universally
charged TO excessive duties in the
Payne law that in 1912 in our repub-
lican platform we said. Some Of the
existing import duties are too high
and should be reduced.
Democratic Tax Necessary.
Where will we yet the money if
we DO not resort to the very subject
of taxation provided FOR in this
bile" Mr. Good continued. I'VE
have seen that we can not hope
TO collect il through the customs
house by the imposition of protec-
tive duties. Are we TO Overturn the
cardinal principle Of protection and
enact a tariff law imposing duties
on those things we can not produce,
such as a duty on coffee and tea
