AUTHORITATIVE TESTIMONY.

Mayor Speer of Denver, speaking to
300 leading citizens Of that city at a
luncheon, referred to the fact that
when the prohibition issue was before
the people in 1914 he voted wet, and
said that were 1t to come up again he
would vote dry. One result Of pro-
hibition has been the lowering Of the
tax rate. "There had been deficit at
the close Of the city's business for 8
number Of years." said the mayor. Il
am glad to report that at the close OF
1916 we had a cash surplus Of $135, 900,
and in addition thereto paid special
improvement taxes on parks, fire.
houses, courthouses, city hall and bath
house, to the amount Of $4,000. We
also remedied acoustic defects and
decorated the Auditorium.
"For 1917, city taxes were lowered
IS per cent--or $4,000 less money
win be collected as city taxes this
year than during the previous year.
The success Of no city depends upon
the sale Of liquor, and Denver today
is better of than It was when saloons
were running"

There come to us very frequently
most pathetic appeals from mothers
and other interested parties, telling Of
the shocking conditions around certain
military camps where drink and licen-
tiousness-twin evils-hold daily and
nightly reyels, and asking "if some
thing cannot be done about it," says
Mrs. Margaret Dye Ellis, National w.
G. T. o. superintendent Of legislative
work, writing from Washington, D. G..
AS one mother expressed it, Il would
rather a thousand times that my son
went to the bottom Of the ocean un-
warned, but clean and pure, than to
have him back home polluted and
tainted from drink and sensuality."
Much is being done by the authorities,
military and legislative, In response to
appeals from mothers Of the country.
."That the saloon and brothel shall be
done away with In military centers is
a fOregone conclusion" says Mrs. Ellis.
t'The United States government heard
and answered the appeal Of the w. g.

Philippines and placed its ban on seq
regatlon In those far-away islands
years ago and we know and believe
that the insistent appeal to the presi-

will cause the complete overthrow Of
these direful temptations from their

guest everywhere. All London went
mad over him. On one occasion at a
banquet he had made some brilliant
witticisms. A snob, thinking to humll-
late him, leaned over the table to the
poet and quite audibly said, in drawl-

"Pway, sir, wasn't your father q

Moore smilingly replied that he was.

Robert Elliott Gonzales.

In giving the life of Robert FL
liott Gonzales to his country, South
Carolina has made a sacrifice most
notable. The announcement which
came today brings personal sorrow
to hundreds of South Crolinians, and
it brings a sense of loss to thousands
who did not know the shy and gentle
youth.
He knew the great privilege which
he enjoyed and it was his endeavor
to bring at least one smile day
into the lives of the reading public
which he took into his confidence.
and for which he felt the affection
of a big brother. The "column'
which he conducted in the Columbia
State was one of the most brilliant
contributions to American journal
ism in the last half century.
His was a generous and flowing
humor, which seemed to be imitless
and never unkind. His was a pen
of great versatility as we'll as of fe-
cundity, for his contributions to the
literature of the State will live in
the future as among. the best and
purest of lyric verse. But it is not
easy to think of Bob as one apart,
as a parsonage in literature as one
who will be known in the years to
come as a greatly gifted son.
We of today know him as the gen.
tie "Bob," and his loss to the circle
which was permitted to know him is
a deeply personal sorrow.-Colum-

A SUGGESTION.
Foreign Students Learn American
Methods.

I know of no better way to develop
the good will between nations which
must precede business transactions
than the education in this country Of
young men and women from all the
nations of the world, says Leslie's. 1t
would pay our trade associations to
establish scholarships with this OBJ
ject in view. The students coming
to this country would represent
wealth, leading industries and in
fluential families, and they would re-
turn to their homes proficient in Eng
lish and with love for American
ideals, institutions, methods, machin-
cry and American products. Each
pupil in his or her home city would
act as a focus of infection for every
thing American and materially help
to increase the demand for American
goods.
There are today in the United
States approximately 10000 foreign
students. OF this number perhaps g.
500 are from the Latin-American
countries, 1900 from China, 1900
from Japan, 500 from the Philip
pines, 500 from India, 200 from Asia
Minor, and hundreds from Russia and
the Near East. The majority are TAX
ing up engineering, chemistry, bank
ing, commerce and business admins
tration. They are becoming acquaint-
ed with our latest inventions and
modern appliances. They are study
ing our trade methods. 1t is to be
hoped that our business men will
make the most of the great possibili-
ties thus afforded for the introduce
ton of our goods abroad.

TWO MEN SHOT TO DEATH.
H. 4. Preacher and keb Nettles Hill
ed by =. W. Lightsey.

Brunson. Dec. 29.-H A. Preach
er and Keb Nettles were killed by P.
w. Lightsey, a substantial farmer,
at the home of the latter about fve
miles from Brunson, this morning
about II o'clock The killing TOOK
place in Lightsey's house and yard,
and the weapon used was double
barrel shotgun loaded with buck
shot. The men involved are promi-
nent and all have families.
Accounts obtainable indicate that
Preacher, who was about sc years of
age. and who was a rural free dellv-
cry carrier, went to the Lightsey
plantation with view of moving
Nettles, who was tenant on Light
sey's place. Nettles, it is said, was
indebted to Lightsey to the extent OF
several hundred dollars and for this
reason Lightsey objected when Net
ties started to move. Early THIS
morning Lightsey telephoned Sheriff
J. Herman Lightsey at. Brunson and
said that he felt his life was in dan
ger and asked the sheriff to come to
his protection. Sheriff Lightsey and
a deputy, Eric Harrison, both OF
whom were present when the shoot
ing occurred, went to the Lightsey
farm, and tried to dissuade Preacher
and Nettles from entering Lightsey's S
premises, but could do nothing with
them.
Witnesses say that about 1 o'clock
Preacher and Nettles, each with a
revolver in hand, entered Lightsey's S
yard, Preacher in front of Nettles.
Lightsey was in his house and when
Preacher walked upon the porch
Lightsey shot him twice through a
window. Lightsey then came out on
the porch and it is said that Nettles
wheeled toward him and Lightsey
shot Nettles twice. Lightsey then
surrendered to the sheriff and was
taken to Hampton, the county seat.
H. A. Preacher, life long resi-
dent of Brunson, and who is from
one of the oldest and most respected
families of this community, leaves a
wife and four children. He had been
a rural free delivery carrier from
Brunson for about six years.
Keb Nettles, who was about 43
years of age, came to Hampton coun-
'ty from Colleton county, and has been
tenant on the Lightsey place for
about two years. He, too, leaves a
wife and several children.
Perry w. Lightsey, about SO years
of age, is native of this county.
He has large family connections and
is a man of influence.
