amendment which would permit the
sale of beers and light wines in those
states which did not themselves pass
more stringent legislation. That would
be a pleasing solution of the prohibi-
ton middle, but it is probably too
good to be true"
The repeal Of the wartime pro-
hibition offers first rallying point
from which to focus the will of the
majority upon its Representatives in
Congress-" declares 1.-The New York
Evening World" "Neither on July
1, 1919, nor January 16, 1920, should
the manufacture and sale of light

1.-THE Baltimore Sum-" rejecting
large part Of the opinion that the
President has made a suggestion
that should be afflrma lively acted
upon, says:
what he has to say regarding war
time prohibition will, we believe, meet
with the approval Of the great body Of
American citizens. Apparently, if Con-
gress follows his advice, the people
will be granted, not pardon from the
sentence of eternal dryness, but merely
respite for the six months or 80

which will elapse between July i and
the date upon which the Federal
amendment goes into effect. But this
much may be said, that inasmuch as
the war prohibition act was q war pro-
hibition act ordinary justice re-
quires that it be repealed with the end
of the war conditions. And it is barely
possible that if the experiment with
beers and light wines is tried until
January next, and successfully, and
meets with public approval, and If the
recommendation of the President be-
comes the policy of the Democratic
party in connection with the liquor
question, Congress might pass q law
for the enforcement of the Federal

feeling not shared by the majority

a six months reprieve would be a

The assessed valuation of property
in Greenwood has been raised by tn
City Commissioners about 36 per cen
over last year. Twenty five protes

meeting Of the commissioners of the
city and these protests will be consid-

In response to query as to why
the increase in the assessed valuation
had been made, Mayor e. V, Hugh
ston stated that it was costing the
city far more to operate now than
previously. Property has greatly in
creased in value" said Mayor Hugh
ston, "and the tax assessment was in
creased in proportion. The city is now
paying $500 per day for common la
