.all these appropriations stealing,
out it is the taking of money from
one community by force of a legal
enactment for the benefit of other
communities. 1t is done we suppose
IN an honest effort to get better
school buildings, and to encourage
people to make proper efforts to bet
ter the school facilities of the many
school districts in the state. There
will always be more or less unfair
ness in the distribution of these
funds, not designedly to be true, but
of necessity. The only way to make
the unfairness as little as possible is
for every school district in every
county to get all it can, to the end
that the distribution may be to that
extent on fair basis.
1t is time for the people in Able
vile County to inform themselves
about these appropriations and to go
out fer their share. Nobody is going
to collar US and force our share on
us. We must 60 after 1t ourselves.
Are we wise enough to do it?

TALKING ABOUT COTTON ED.

We see that Col. George Warren
who wants to succeed Cotton Ed in
the Senate has been telling the peo-
pie that Ed failed to answer a good
many roll calls. Well, does George
expect Ed to answer all the roll calls
and look after the cotton crop too?
What the people down here are in
terested in is whether or not Ed fail
ed to answer a roll call looking to puc
ting up the price Of cotton. If Ed did
that then George may have some
room to complain, but until he does
so the people will know that when Ed
was not there to vote, he was out
studying how to keep cotton climbing
towards 1.89.
George should not allow this to
worry him. What George should be
trying to do is to get in position to
answer the roll calls himself, AMI
what we fear is going to happen to
George is that when the roll is call
ed August 31st, Georges name won't
be called at all. Ed will be there then
though and he will answer "good and
loud"
George is not the first fellow who
has tried to make the peop;e believe
that Ed was not a good Senator. He
should remember that Ed is a cotton
man and that he must look out for
our interests in cotton and that he
hasn't time to be voting on all kinds
of fool bills when he should be watch
ing old Wall Street to keep it from
putting the price of cotton down. .
What are Georges figures any
way? Is he in favor of 1.89, or ar
his figures higher than that?

Gradually greater burdens are
laid upon thief ruit and vegetable
hunters. These insist upon a larger
share of fish in return for their
larger efforts in gathering fruit

and soon twenty Of the twenty-five

But the entire one hundred men

AND STILL WE PAY.

We had a few remarks to max
some days ago about our paying tax
es for school purposes, all of which
goes to help the schools in other
counties by swelling the state ap'
preparation to help weak school dis
triets, and from which appropriation
we are not getting our share of the
benefits: l.. = : ;G,A
And this it not the only appropri-
alton to which we are contributing
and from which we receive no pro-
iportfoofals benefit: There is Of of fore.
in this state an Act of the Genera
Assembly appropriating several
thousand dollars to be used in help
ing school districts build new school
houses. A report from the Office of
the Superintendent of Education a
few days ago stated that more than
thirty thousand dollars was spent
last year in helping build school
houses over the state, but the report
showed that while we contributed to
this fund our part, some eight hum
dred dollars, we figure, not dollar
of the money came back to Abbeville
County. =
We imagine if there is county in
the state which needs better school
houses and better equipment for the
schools in the rural sections it is Abb
beville County. Some of the school
houses in the county we said then
and we repeat the statement, are a
reproach to the people OF the whole
county. The people of the county are
raying for the building of school
houses in other counties. and we are
unable to understand why our people
will not put themselves in shape to
get something out of this appropria-
ton when we stand in such urgent
need of better buildings for our
schools. Are we unable to be selfish!
Do we pay taxes in order to be charlt-
able to the people in Anderson, Spar
tanburg and Greenville, or are we too
indifferent to give our own children
as good school facilities as do these
counties?
We have said that we are opposed
to these appropriations and we still
are, but if it is the policy Of the state
to make them, and if we are forced
to pay our part we should see to it
that we get our part of the benehts.
We believe it was Ben Tillman who
suggested that if the stealing had to

CORPORATION
TAX REPORT DUE


D. c, Hayward, Collector of In
ternal Revenue stated yesterday
that he desired to call to the atten-
tion to all corporations, associa-
tions, joint stock companies and in
surance companies the fact that the
Revenue law require the filing of a
capital stock tax report with his Of
flee during the month of July,
1920.
The tax in question is imposed for
the privilege of doing business for
the government fiscal year and the
report due to be filed during the
present month covers the period
ending June 3Oth 1921.
Collector Hayward said that the
experience of his office was that a
great many corporations were de-
linquent in filing this report each
year for the reason that they
thought they were not liable for
tax on account of not being engag-
ed in active business, and he wishes
to state that the regulations re-
quire every corporation existing
under the laws of the State to file
report, or submit conclusive evi.
dence that it is not liable. Deter
of tax liability rests en-
tirely with the Commissioner of Inr
ternal Revenue.
The Capital Stock Tax Division
of the Internal Revenue Bureau is
busily engaged in preparation for
handling the reports for the pre-
sent taxable period, and blank
forms will be mailed to every cor
poration in the District on Tuesday,
July 9th, 1920. Every taxpayer who
does not receive a blank form with
in a reasonable time after that date
should request the Collectors Office
to furnish one.

posing upon her his own religion and
the lowly state of Turkish women.
Her father refused to give her up.
When the massacres of the Armen-
ians started, carried on by the Turks
under a secret agreement with the
Germans, the Mohammedans made
further efforts to get possession of
the girl. After seeing her father,
mother, two brothers and three sis
tiers brutally slain, she entered upon
series of adventures which prove
that life may be more exciting than
the widest dream of the fictionist
She goes thru an untold succession
of horrible scenes, escapes from the
Turks, is captured by the wild Kurds
of the desert, sold as a slave, put in
a harem, takes refuge with monks,
and at last is saved by the British,
who sent her to America where she
has talked and written of and finally
acted out her experiences.
In "Auction of Souls" which is
the story of her narrowing years in
Armenia, every detail of the story
follows the actual experiences of Miss
Mardiganian, and the report to the
United States, of Viscount James
Bryce, former English ambassador to
the United States, who directed the
investigation of the Armenian atroci-
ties.

auction of Souls" which is to be

the unusual distinction of having a
leading woman who actually enacted
the original scenes which the motion
picture reproduces. Miss Aurora
Mardiganian, the girl who has the
leading role, is not motion picture
actress, but was induced to act for
the films just what she personally
passed thru in Armenia in 1915.
Miss Mardiganian's inexperience
before the camera is not apparent in
the picture for she holds up her own
end as we'll as any of the regular ac-
tors. Perhaps her art is that born of
the vivid memory of the horrible
scenes thru which she passed before
escaping from her native land TO
come to America for further relief.
She is the daughter of a. former

was thirteen years old when the war
broke out. Being a beautiful girl she
