A New Russia Dawning.

While the end of the great European
war is not in sight, yet one can
already forecast some of the results of
the war. Those who exercise faith in
the "Divinity that shapes our ends"
believe that, as terrible as the conflict
is, it will be over-ruled for the perma-
nent good of humanity. The greatest
benefit from the war will be the liberia
tion of the masses of Europe. When
order shall have been restored from
the present chaotic condition there will
not be monarch enthroned in Europe.
Every royal head must doff its crown.
The first visible evidence Of this
change is found in the revolution in
Russia last week, which resulted in
the overthrowing of the Romanoff
dynasty that has tyrannized over Rus
sia for nearly five centuries. When
the Russian forces were mobilized for
the present war, in July 1914, they
were driven to the front as so many
sheep to the slaughter, Gear Nicholas
ruling with an iron rod. That won
derful change has been wrought in
two years is shown by the attitude of
the Grand Duke Michael Alexandrovitch,
the successor of Nicholas, who declared
that he would only accept the throne
with the consent of the Russian people.
Heretofore the people have had practi-
cally no voice in the government, the
great masses of the people being no
more than beasts of burden in the estl-
nation of the royalty. This in one of
a number of indications that new
Russia is dawning. Henceforth it will
be nation ruled by the people and not
by cruel monarch.

The tremendous decrease of $780,

ing February, the first month of unre-

Germany's threat had the desired ef-
feet, the intimidation Of neutral ship
owners. What is needed now is for
some armed merchant vessels to "bag

Mr.. J. R. Zimmerman,
County Auditor,
Edgefeld, S. G.

Dear Sir
I have had inquiry from num-
Der of County Auditors with refer.
ence to the Highway Commission
Act and some seem to think that
under the terms of that Act, that
automobiles are not to be returned
as personal property as heretofore.
This is mistake. Under the terms
of the Act, State License is re-
quired to be paid, and such license
is in lieu of any other county or
Municipal License, but does not ex-
empt automobiles from the property
tax.
I send this for your information.
Yours very truly,

Florida.

Of all the beautiful spots along
the East coast of Florida, the city
and suburbs of Miami is the most
lovely-as Spencer writes i'll his
"Fairie Queen"
1T was a chosen platt of fertile
land,
Amongst wide waves sett, like a
little nest,
As if it had by natures cunning
hand
Bene choycely picked out from all
the rest,
And laid forth for example of the
best.
No dainty flower or herbe that
grows on ground,
No arborett with painted blossoms
drest
And smelling sweete. but then it
might be found
To bud out faire, and throw her
sweet smells all around.
No tree whose branches did not
bravely spring
No branch whereon a fine bird did
rot slit,
No bird but did her shrill notes
sweetly sing,
No song but did contain a lovely
dit"
Mr.. Flagler took great pride in
Miami, and saw with prophetic
practical vision that it was bound
to grow.
Like New York city, it is happily
situated on the Biscayne bay with
deep water for boats, where the
gentle waves of the Atlantic softly
kiss the white, sandy beach, or dash
their rude imperious surge against
the rock wall or breakwater. There
is something about the restless
never ceasing waves of the sea that
reminds me of the spirit of man.
1t is very entertaining to stand on
The battery about o'clock in the
afternoon and see the fisherman
bring in great boat loads of every
kind of fish, the red snapper, king
fish, spanish mackerel, Brem, salt
water trout, and delightful shell
fish, called the craw fish. 1t is
really a species of lobster with red

Miami has grown faster than any
other city in the United States since
1910. 1t has grown 100 per cent
while Detroit has grown 1922 per
cent and Jacksonville 59.7 percent.
In 1910 the population of Miami
was 7,24O, in 1915 it was $1,000,
while the population of Jacksonville
in 1910 was 92,l6O. The assessed
value of property in Miami in 99l2
was $l,9e9.4ls, and in 1912 it was
sl3,25l.4OO; assessments are based
on one-third valuation.

 The Vorwearts procured a publish er's circular disclosing that German great headquarters and the war min istry purchased a large number of these brochures and that Gen. Won Ludendorf and Gen Won Stein distri- buted 15,00O free copies among the troops. The newspaper protests against such use of public money.
 This act of the army authorities is particularly glaring on account of the fact that the brochure is directed aI- most as much against Chancellor Won Bethmann-Hollweg as against the so- cialists.
 The Munich socialist organization protests against discrimination by the military authorities, who actively support the propaganda of the Pro- German annexationists in the army and hinder in every way opposing propaganda for peace based on un- lderstanding and compromise.

Copenhagen, June 11.-An ener- getic complaint Is addressed by the Socialist newspaper Vorwaerts of Berlin to, Gen. Von Ludendorf, Lieut.. Gen. Won Stein, the Prussian war minister. and others in high official places who are facilitating the circu- lation among the troops in hospitals in schools and elsewhere of a pan German brochure entitled Ger many's Position under Good and Bad Peace." The brochure, which belongs among the most extreme outburst of annexation fancies, is directed espec- ially. against peace along the lines suggested by Philip Scheidemann and other socialists It contains graphic illustration of Germany bowed down under weight of debt in .conse- quence of a peace without indemnity, and striding along with vigorous
 strength and a might bag of gold in the event of a. Pan-German peace.
 Among the most striking features of the brochure are maps showing Germany covering or dominating three-quarters of Europe. Not only are the usual sweeping demands for annexations made, but the articles rise to the heights of suggesting the incor-
 poration of France as a federal state in Germany or, alternatively, the an nexation of 9 corridor connecting Germany with the Mediterranean.

LIQUOR TAX ALL THAT IS NEEDED

There is a food question and a rev. enue question both involved in the proposal of certain organizations that the government close down the brew ing industry of the United States be- cause of the grain used which might otherwise be consumed as food. The agitation, however, need not be clouded. The proponents, of the measure are, of course, leaders of the | prohibition forces, and so far as they are concerned they ought to stress plainly the question that their prin- cipal motive is to make the country dry.
 Congress, however, must consider the question of foods and revenues and here is the situation as it appears from the standpoint of the proposed war tax of an additional dollar a bar- re. on beer, making the total tax $2.75 a barrel.
 According to the figures of 1918 there were used in the brewing of beer in the United States 52,439,973 bushels of barley, 2,S64, 900 bushels of rice and 15,711,515 bushels of corn. Of this amount, 35 per cent. or 25.- 100000 bushels was returned to dairy farmers for cattle feed, leaving net grain consumption in beer At, ,800, ,0O0 l bushels.
 As barley is not used for bread, and IS but fmeagerly used for food, it can be eliminated from consideration. l The 2,354.0 .000 bushels of rice was composed of what is called brewers rice, which is not generally market able for food. Indeed, it has been very difficult for the rice producers to convince the public how valuable a food product rice Is, the annual pro- duction of one peck per capita as I against twenty-five bushels of corn per capital indicating that. | The 10,000,00O bushels net of corn used is four-tenths of 1 per cent of I the crop.
 Even under war conditions but a fraction of the corn crop is directly used for food, the great bulk being fed the animals which supply the country with meat.
 So far as bread is concerned, the grain used in brewing is, therefore, negligible.
 Under the present tax of s1.5o a barrel, the brewers paid the United States government last year ss7.s5O.- coo, which was an equivalent of s1.s0 l a busheI for the grain used in its manufacture Estimating this years consumption of beer at 50,O00,0OO barrels at the proposed tax of $2.75 a barrel. the governments revenue will be s137 l500.000, which is the equivalent of $3.65 a bushel of the grain used in Iits manufacture.
 These are interesting facts which the brewing interests have placed be- fore congress, based upon official fig ures.
 l The question of national prohibi- tion is one for congress to consider upon it's own merits unmixed with business considerations. - Houston l (Tex) Post.
