ture Match of Patriotic Tournament.

Herbert T. Shannon and Charles T.
chapman furnished the feature match in
the patriotic" tournament under the
auspices of the Middle Atlantic Tennis
Association at the Columbia Country Club
Yesterday afternoon when they met in
the third round of the mems singles.
Chapman is one OF the best players in
.he District and was generally picked to
beat Shannon. but the latter uncorked
some exceptionally good tennis. and, after
losing the opening set. took the remain
ing two. After Chapman had taken the
frst set deuce one, 1t was generally
thought that Shannon was through
and that ne would be an easy victim in
the next, but he has always been noted
for his sticktoitiveness, and he won the
second and third handily by playing
Chapman or his feet. 6-3 and 81. He
meets Gore today, the winner to play Ed
Leech in the finals.
Connie Doyle and Arthur Heaton
continued their winning streak and
reached the finals in the mems singles.
The first rounds in both the mems singles,

"wednesday Columbia Record)
Without a dissenting vote or debate
the house this morning accepted the
resignation of John l.. McLaurin as
warehouse commissioner, killed the
Lilies dequinquent tax bill and refused
to recall the Richey "airtight" pro-
hibition bill from it's committee The
house calendar was cleared of the few

been very slow in reporting, the house
calendar so far has been very light.
Scrap Over Liqucr.
There was a minor parliamentary
"scrap" in the house this morning
when w. r. Richey, Jr., of Laurens,
author of the "airtight" prohibition
bill, attempted to have his measure
recalled from the committee on police
regulations and be recommitted with
out reference. After some debate, the
Richey motion was tabled.
Mr.. Richey said that his measure
was of extreme Importance and should
be acted upon and not "tied up" in
committee. He was satisfied that the
members had made up their minds
how they would vote, regardless of
the report of the committee. Mr..
Mauldin of Greenville and Mr.. Toole
Of Aiken agreed with the remarks of
Mr.. Richey and announced that they
are in favor Of the measure.
The house this morning without a
word of debate and without a dissent
ing vote concurred in the senate con-
current resolution accepting the resig.
nation of John l.. McLaurin as ware
house commissioner.

the bond issue last year have ex-
pressed their regret that they did so.
There are probably many others who
have changed their mind upon the sub
ject. The objections raised to the bond
issue, we honestly believe to be not
we'll founded. So often one hears
the expression: 81 don't believe in
putting burden upon succeeding gen.
erations." Why not? Must we turn
over to succeeding generations COM
pleted world? Must we turn over to
our children and their children the
comforts and luxuries of life and give
them nothing to do? So to do would
out damn them. There is no sense
in putting upon the present generation
all the cost of building the roads for
future generations. Particularly is
this true in the light of the fact that
the present generation, or many of the
individuals composing it, have not a
great while upon the earth. Their
need for good roads will soon be at
an end.
There is no more reasonable way to
build roads than by bond issue. 1t is,
to our mind, the best way.
But there seems little likelihood of
the county as a unit voting bonds for
building good roads. 1t has been tried
twice and met with defeat. We would
suggest that it be tried by townships.
Union township would vote for bond
issue. Jonesville would perhaps do
the same thing, were it township
question. This would soon work to
the same results in other townships.
We would be glad to have our deiega-
ton give us the opportunity to vote
upon the question of bonds for good
roads by townships.

1t is to be hoped that the bill intro
duced In the house last Friday by Rep

enact u measure making the terms of
the Mann national white slave" law
applicable to South Carolina will be
carried. 1t is move in the right di-
rection, and should receive the sup
port of the good people of the State
There is disposition on the part of
many well ?meaning people to shut
their eyes to the conditions that pre-
vail in the towns and cities, and often
in smaller communities. A close OBJ
server of the police courts sees many
evidences of conditions that would
hOrrify many of the righteous"

STAND TOGETHER
ON REVENUE BILL

Washington. Jan. 15.-Chairman
Kitchin of the house ways and means
committee after several hours con-
ference today with Secretary McAdoo
over the revenue situation, announced
that "the ways and means committee,
the secretary Of the treasury and the
administration will be in perfect har-
monY on a revenue bill"
The committee Democrats will meet
tomorrow to agree upon and formu-
late policy for the first time and will
meet practically daily until the reve-
nue. measure is complete, with a view
TO passage by the house by January
80 at the latest.
Mr. Kitchin said bond issue was
certain, that there would be no tax on
tea, coffee or other foodstuffs and
that there would be no lowering of
the exemption under the income tax.
"The committee pHajority members
will be called togethed to consider sew
eral alternative propositions" said Mr..
Kitchin. "We will pass the bill in
the house the last of next week or the
first part of the following week but
"iihb ~ VIII ''N L Nhil iioI Say ySI.
"There is, however, certain to be
an authorization for bond issue to
take care of the Mexican border ex-
penditures. These border expenses. it
is estimated, will reach 100000
by next June. The bond issue will
also take care of the purchase Of the
Danish possessions in the West Indies.
to cost $25,000.0O0: the armor plant
protect, to cost 81 100000. and the
Alaska railway, to cost $31 100000"
Some Democrats on the committee
are known to be considering seriously
new internal revenue tax Of from
5 to 8 per cent on corporation profits
of over 8 per cent of capital stock
This would be calculated to raise ap-
proximately $200,000,000 year. Re-
vision of the Inheritance tax by in
creasing the rates also is under con-
sideration and there has been talk of
issuance Of treasury certificates of in
debtedness. to run from one to three
months at per cent interest, to take
care of the treasury until the end Of
the fiscal year.

We have no word of condemnation
for the business men who have estab-
lished mail order concerns. 1t is pre-
sumed that they have perfect right
to establish such enterprises and to
operate them. They go out after bus
mess, and they get business; other
wise they would soon fail They must
find customers, for without patronage
they could not continue to thrive.
How do they get the business? Huge
catalogues are mailed prospective buy
erS and the use of magazines and
newspapers as advertising agents
carry the information to the public.
Circular letters flood the mails. 1t is
in the use of printers ink that the
results are attained. 1t would amaze
some of the Union merchants if they
could know just how large a sum of
money goes out Of Union and to some
distant mail order house for articles
that the local merchant would sell for
less money. This same merchant,
perhaps, feels that he would be robbed
if he bought advertising space in his
county paper. He feels that "the
money is thrown away" He was never
more previously mistaken. Much of
the money that should go into his
till goes to the distant mail order
house for the reason that he will not
see the value of advertising.

BILLY SUNDAY TELLS
BOSTON MANY THINGS

Boston, Jan. 15.-Here are some of
the hard-hitting shots and telling
points given by Billy Sunday in his re-
cent sermons here:
Among all the human crafts, none
is more wonderful than that of the
potter. 1t is mingling of the vision
of the mind through the functions of
the fingers"
Remember that you are the raw
clay, inert and unbeautiful. But re-
member also that you are the very
stuff God needs to do His work with"
"Man is peculiar among the ami
mails in that he has the power to
originate and create. Also he is the
only animal that has thumb. The
combination of these two peculiarities
is what permits man to build any
thing from a wrist watch to a mogul
engine"
"lf you choose to go to hell you are
going to hell; if you elect to go to
heaven you can go to heaven; God has
given you your choice; it's up to
you"
81 can put myself in submission to
and in harmony with God Almighty
and then I'll have all heaven behind
me giving me support If l set my
self against God, all heaven is my op-
ponent."
"1f | place myself in submission to
and in harmony with the government
of the United States, the will and
power of 90,OOO,OOO persons is behind
me. I can back that government if
want to, but then l have 90,OOO.OO0
people opposing me-"
II suspect there are lot of booze
holsters leaning on the bars of this
city whom God could have made bish-
ops except for the fact that they re-
sisted"
"Make yourselves plastic to the will
of God so that He can mold you in
perfect form. l expect that God AL
mighty meant to make Corinthian
vases out of a lot of you, but you've
thwarted Him, and the best He could
do was to make cupsidors."
This old Bible is Gods phonograph.
In 1T He sent His message ringing
through the ages to u.s."
God has plan for each life. He
alone knows the possibilities of each
human life"
"ln this campaign God has given
the churches of Boston a chance to
show whether they are any good or
not"
81 believe Boston will soon be on
its knees and will be as happy as
when the fans go to see the worlds
series.
This city hasn't seen a work of
grace for 40 years. God doesn't paw
such visit to city more than once
in a generation"
If had my way I'd have every
pack of cards and every drop of beer
in hell before midnight, and it's now
three minutes of nine."
when man wants to make a hog
of himself by getting on a street car
with boozy breath, let him ride with
the hogs"
"You must be proud of your record
Boston, and you devils, especially, who
voted for the Godforsaken whiskey
gang in the last election"
TOO many churches are like ground
hogs. They always keep their noses
under the ground during their work.
instead of coming out on top and help
ing the community"
II know men of Boston who are
afraid to come to this tabernacle for
fear they will have to be decent for
once in their lives"
"The fellow who leaks most from
the eyes is not the most religious"
Il can't understand how you can
keep still when God offers so much and
hell is so terrible"
The Union times. [volume] (Union, S.C.) 1894-1918, 1917-01-19
