lam not going to preach a SER
mon, but | want to tell the peo-
pie some things they will do well
to heed.
First, no people can be chris
tanned until they are civilized.
The preacher had as well sing
psalms to a dead horse as to
preach to a set that has no re-
spect for the house of God and
His worship. Here on this noun
tain we are reaping just exactly
as we have sown. We have
been too cowardly TO enforce the
law and as result we've had
murders by assassination, rob-
! berry, stealing and riding peo-
1pIes horses and mules, misbe-
havior at church and shooting
Of pistols around the church
house and no one punished as yet,
and last but not least, a white
girl Rugged by negro. The law
has been set at defiance with inn
punity, and even men are de-
claring that we can't do any
thing until we get a new judge
and a new attorney general
lover 600 voters have said the
law must be enforced and take
it for granted they mean wha
they said by their votes.
An old lady went to church OF
Myers Hill one night during
three weeks revival and said sh'

more. Others say the sam

a rendezvous for the disorder

One fellow said he did nc

neople. In the building of these
nlants on a cost-plus basis, every
thing was done apparently that
could make for increased COST
There were free housemalds Tor
the families engaged in construc
tion: there were free water, free
heat. free gas, free light, free
drugs, free medical service and
free rent. In addition fabulous
prices were paid. At one date
at one plant there were five ply
sicians in the hospital with thir-
ty-seven attendants and sixteen
patients. At the height OF con-
struction at this plant there were
employed 100 physicians and liz
nurses. :. 49,.
At the Nitro plant in August
and September, 1918. SO, OOO; ooo
pounds of cotton were hauled 10
and dumped from the cars in the
mud along the track. There 1t
remained exposed to the weather
and there it lies today, rotted
and ruined. At this same plant
the managers hauled 81, 600 tons
of sulphur costing $50 per ton
or $3.50, 900. and simply dumped
it out and let it spoil.
A few months ago the govern
ment sold everything at Nitro
| for So, $50, 900 giving ten years In
which to pay the sum. altho' the
plant and material there had cost
$40. 900, 900. At that time the
machinery and movable property
alone we're valued at over $9,
600, 900. A man of the localit,
has been paid an annual salary
of $50, 900 to look after the gov
ernment's interests.
The administration completed
this plant before the armlstice
and began to manufacture pow
der. It made just 4,5OO, 900 lbs
This operation cost the govern
ment S14, $40, 214.20. or cos
per pount of $3.50. At tina
time the DuPonts were makin
andseIling it to the government
| for much less than 81 a pound
The peace price is about fit
cents a pound. "

moved, the fabricator thereof at
recent special session of leglsla'
tor. removing the special tax.
The old lhorse thirty years OLD
called a half team" will now es-
cape taxation and one of the
taxes on a car will be shut off.
However, we would like for
the law-monger aforesaid to de-
fine a pleasure car. 7" Some
people combine business with
pleasure, and we doubt if pure
bred pleasure car can be found
in Marion. Some Of these Ford
owners occasionally bring home
a pound or two of beefsteak sold
on the hoof at Sc the pound. but
that is not pleasure, it is busl-
ness, 1t involves the expendl'
ture OF a considerable amount OF
democratic deprecated money
and then there wouldn't be e.
nough steak to take a second try
at it. Possibly a pleasure car
is one in which there is a great
10y in driving when it will con-
descend to run, and great pleas
ure in repairing it in an et-
/ fort to make it run.
Anyway, all cars hereafter
will be pleasure cars, and the
Marion road fund will lack lots
of revenue. This has been a ter
rible season for road repair work
and the highway department ha
done lots of work only to have l
washed away by the torrentla
rains and floods, and the onl'
way, we think, to regain TIL
fund is to place a substantial tai
on gasoline in Marion so that h
that useth the road and wearet
it out shall pay the price thereof

COLORED SCHOOL UPROAR

There is lots of talk existent
ever the peculiar handling of col
ored school affairs at South Pitts
burg, and there seems to be a
first class row in that municipal
ty over the matter. The city has,
virtually, seeded from the
county and elected a teacher for
the colored school according
to its own liking while the Board
Of Education, we understand,
has elected Mrs. Oliver. a highly
efficient teacher, as principal OF
the high school, over which 1t
still retains control. 1t had been
hoped for the sake of the ad"
yancement of these schools that
both divisions should be under
the management of Mrs. Oliver.
However, she seems to have been
guilty of being too active IN the
advancement of the school by
putting on entertainments in Its
aid, which, by the way. the News
has heard highly praised, but In
her zeal spoke in praise OF county
officials $50 it is said) whom we
know are in the habit of helping
anything laudable, regardless Of
whether their elections at some
future time depended on it OIL
not. For this she came undel
the ban of other politicians OF dit
ferent political faith. who wer'
probably envious, and so lost ne
job.
