Splendid Entertainment by the Fur
man Glee Club and Orchestra.

The Glee Club and Orchestra of
Furam University gave an entertain
ment at the auditorium Of the Dillon
High School on last Tuesday even
ing and rendered a highly pleasing
program 1t seems that the Club made
a good impression and the entertain
ment is considered one of the best
college entertainments given here.
The program was varied, and render
ed in two parts, the first part being
more classical than the latter, but
all in all varied enough to provide
entertainment for every one present.
The singing of the Club was good and
so was the work of the quartette. The
orchestra was splendid and the play
ing OF Mr.. Rhame on the xylophone
deserves special mention. He appears
to be musical genius. The solos of
Mr. James were well received. Mr..
Burdette as comedian was all that
could be desired along that line. En-
ccre after encore was given and the
large audience seemed appreciative
The Club is taking Its annual tour
which includes Sumter, Darlington
Benneti5ville, Dillon and Florence in
the eastern part Of the state. Mr.. c.

MOTHER AND SON
BURIED SANE, DAY

York. April 25-After simple but
impressive services conducted in the
First Presbyterian church by the
Rev. z. Z. Gillespie, D. D., the body
OF Mech Stewart, York boy killed in
action in France, October s, 1918 and
that of his mother. Mrs Rebecca Nc
Ginnis Stewart, who died Wednesday
at the home of her daughter in Char
lctte, were LAID to rest Sunday after
noon in Rose Hill cemetery.
The funeral of the young soldier,
whose heroic sacrifice for freedom
has been fittingly commemorated by
naming the local post Of the Ameri-
can Legion In his honor, was with
military honors, a delegation from
the Mech Stewart post acting as
lpa!l-bearcrs, more than three score
members of the post attending in
body and squad of soldiers from
Camp Jackson firing the last volley
over his grave.
That the body of the young SOL
der reached York from far away
France at virtually the same time
that his mother passed away. making
IT possible to lay both to rest at
the same time and place, was a sim
gular and sad coincidence that caused
much comment and lent additional
solemnitJ to the occasion. She had
borne the news of his sacrifice with
Christian fortitude and patriotic spir-
it and had since looked forward to
the day when his body should be re-
turned for final interment in his
home sod.
Mech Stewart was a member of
the One Hundred and Eighteenth in
fantry. Thirtieth division. participat-
ing in the furious fighting that mark
ed the breaking Of the Hind enburg
line. He was 26 years OF age when
killed instantly by shell from the
enemy's lines, October 8. 1913.

A TAXATION FALLACY.

One of the fallacies under which
we have been laboring is that taxes
could be so arranged as not to be
paid by the public at large through
the consumption Of goods, but by
some special class of citizens who
were endowed with more Of this
worlds goods than others.
1t is said. however, that virtually
every kind of tax, except perhaps the
income tax and the inheritance tax
Is paid for by the ultimate consumer.
One Of the most effective factors in
the high cost of living as experienced
IN recent years has been the war
taxes. Th public indirectly pays
most taxation, though direct pay
ment may come from special sources
1t is just like thinking that prop
erty owner pays the taxes on the
property he owns and that nobody
sTse has hand in such payment. He
does so-directly-but the money he
gets to pay the taxes with comes
from the tenant. if he has one.
Taxes come from profits, and the
more taxes we pay the higher our ov-
erhead. on which profits are based.
One reason why the cost of living
will no be reduced to the pre-war
level is because the war taxes will
continue The more taxes we have
the higher will be the cost of living

Ing over in our mind sermon
preached by Rev. w. c. Allen at the
First Baptist church. the subject of

Character" 1t has been so long since
We heard the sermon that the text
from which it was taken has passed
out of our memory and the subject,
which covers the line Of thought

Piled by us. 1t was at the time the ma
hon was going through the first
stages of the present business depres-
sion. Mr.. Allen bore down with spec

offered all manner Of flimsy excuses

writer in one of the trade journals
rays that never before in the history
Of the nation has there been so much
litigation as at present, and that
court calendars are burdened with
civil cases involving amounts of a
few dollars up to millions 1t is
strange that prosperity makes for
honesty in business dealings, and
still more strange that some men at
the first sign OF adversely develop
n streak of yellow. We have seen it
and others have seen it in the last
few months. 1t is not general; it
shows itself here and there. But
where there is one man whose char
acter will not stand the test of hard
times, there are hundreds who stan
like solid stone against the attacks
of adversely. and so long as this
latter class remains in the majority
the nation is safe.

Bill Introduced for Strict Prohibition

Washington, April 25-As the first
step Of the fight in congress to tight
ell up the Volstead prohibition en-
forcement law, a bill designed to pro-
hibit the sale of beer to the sick on
a doctors prescription was introduce
ed in the house today by Chairman
Volstead of the judiciary commit
tee.
The measure would not prohibit
use of wine for medical purposes,
but would make more specific and
stringent the regulations on this sub
ject.
Declaring there was no real neces-
sity for beer as medicine, Mr.. Vol
stead announced that his bill, de-
scribed as supplemental to the ma
tional prohibition act, was put for
ward at this time to meet the situa-
ton created by 'he opinion of former
Attorney General Palmer that beer
and wine. under Tho Volstead act,
could be prescribed f0.>tke alling.

south will be selling at fairly good
prices. and one side or the other will
rot be ready to bargain. That is one
reason why farmer party movements
OF nationwide scope have always
failed. The history of South Carolina
in the early nineties affords a strik-
ing example of how easy it is to start
a political revolution after several
successive years of low-price farm
products. Ben Tillman was an ex-
traordinary man, but if it had not
been for low-price cotton in the lat
ter SOS and early COS the chances
are Ben Tillman would never have
been heard of outside OF his own
county. There would have been no re-
form movement, because there would
have been no occasion for it. And so
il is with the farmers Of the nation.
If the price OF wheat and corn and
cotton and wool remains below the
cost Of production for three or more
years this nation will be swept from
ocean to ocean and lake to gulf by
one of the greatest political revolu-
tions the world has ever known, 1t
will be great farmers party and
every politician and would-be politi-
clan in the nation would be scramb-
ling for a seat on the band wagon.
But the price of all these commodi
ties will not remain below the cost
years. and there is no hope of great
political revolution that would put
the farmer in charge of the govern
ment machinery. 1t is admitted that
he would be greatly benefited if he
could gain control of the government,
but this is too remote Il possibility
TO be taken seriously. There is the
matter Of farm credits that needs at
ten,ion. the marketing of farm pro
ducts, the elimination of the middle
man. legislation regulating acreage
and thousand and one other things
that would give products of the soil
the basis of all real wealth-the
predominant position they deserve in
the industrial world. Big moneyed in
terests carried the Farm Loan Act
to the courts and kept it there eigh-
teen months, and now that the
land bank is about ready to func-
ton and offer the farmer some relief,
there have been introduced in con-
gress no less than 25 amendments
which seek to so weak zen the act as to
make it practically imperative For
these and many other reasons there
should be farmers party at least
strong enough to make its influence
a factor in the political affairs of the
nation.

veteran politicians do not seem to
view with alarm" the movement to
bring the farmers Of the west and
soutn together in great political
party for mutual protection. Old pol
ticians say these movements are in
evitable with every great Industrial
cataclysm and always result in talk
about great organization among
the farmers for the purpose of shap-
ing legislation to cure the Ills from
which they suffer. In the next year or
TWO, however, or before the party can
get organized, conditions change; the
farmer begins to receive a fair price
tor his product and he forgets all
ABOUT forming great political par
- and taking charge of the govern
ment machinery. And this brief sum-
mary 3ust about covers the situation
Six years Of low-price farm products
would put the farming element in
control of the government, but the
nation never as a whole suffers more
