No doubt the friends of the Ameri-

the post came out all right on the last
lyceum attraction. We hope that the
holders of lyceum tickets were not
dissatisfied with the arrangement of
putting on the sextette with the pic
lures.
- The fourth and last number will
appear about the middle of March.
1t is reported to be one of the best
on the course. Watch for the date.
The post has received notice that
on account of illness the Poluhnl
company has been forced to cancel
their engagements with the Piedmont
lyceum bureau. However, the bureau
has been fortunate in being able to
secure the De Jeu company take
the Poluhni dates. De Jeu is a clever
magician and Sonburg his assistant
is unusually good on the piano-ac-
Gordon. This number will be some
thing out Of the ordinary.

The resolutions and letters and all
the stuff about growing the things you
need, and making cotton your
surplus crop, read just like what The
Herald and News has been preaching
for thirty years and more, and
sometimes we wish we had the time
ito take upfthe old files of the paper
and copy some of the editorials that
I've wrote from week to week thirty
years ago. In fact We have been
preaching the same doctrine eves
since we tended our fathers mil
down at the SAull hills before we were
strong enough TO raise half bashel
Of corn to the hopper to be ground
into meal. And we have observed it
very closely all the years since that
tinae. ....s &
The onlyareally, Successful farmer
.sin this section of the country, is the
one who has practiced the doctrine
of making the farm self-sustainlng'
And when we hear man now get up
in a meeting and talk such doctrine
as if it were Something new, it makes
MS tired and sick at heart. Every one
has known it for years and The Her
aid and News has preached 1t so much
that we have felt we were boring the
readers with it.
You may take any section OF this
county and wnen you pick out the
really successful farmer, the one who
owes no man anything and who al
ways has something worth while about
him, fat mules and plenty in his smoke
house and money in the bank, and the
rule is that NE is the one who has
grown on the farm what he needed TO
feed man and beast, and the one VINO
has poor mules and nothing to eat or
feed for them, except what he hauls
home is always hard up, except that
he may have little money at the
selling time, but he can not call 1t his
own, because he owes it either to the
bank or the merchant, aid the cotton
is not his, and, therefore, he has no
power of control of the price, but
must take what he can get for it and
pay on his debt as far as it will go,
and then start to buy on credit to
make more cotton. Of course there
are some exceptions to the rule. Now

TWO SUIT 5
IN Y OLVED
IN TODAY 5
ARGUMENT

WASHINGTON, D C.. Jan g.
There is no competition in the
whiskey business and the special
5O-cent tax assessed against each
gallon of whiskey drawn from a
bonded warehouse in Kentucky is
not confscatory, Charles Dawson,
attorney general of Kentucky ar
gued today before the United States
supreme court in an effort to obtain
vacation of an injunction forbidding
collection OF the tax The injunc-
tion was granted by the United
States court of eastern district OF
Kentucky which held that the law
violated the state and federal con
stitutions in that it provided no ade-
Quate remedy at law and that it was
cOntisCatory
The law provided that the funds
derived from the tax should be used
to build roads More than $4,000
900, assessed during the period since
the law was passed are at stake
Two suits were involved in todays
argument In one the state and the
Louisville Public Warehouse com
pany appealed from an injunction
granted by the j. & R Freiburg
company of Cincinnati and in the
other the state appealed from a sim
liar injunction granted to the Ken
lucky Distillels 4 Warehouse com
pany The Freiburg company at
tempted to remove its whiskey to
Massachusetts for storage without
paying the tax The warehouse
company refused to release it and
the suit resulted.
Attorney General Dawson contest
ing allegations that the law is con.
fscatory and thus violates the
fourteenth amendment cited afd-
davits Of distllers to the effect that
from 81 to $125 a gallon for Ken
lucky whiskey was a good price
when sold in bond and without
taxes paid, while distllers in other
states were getting $3.50 to S1.75
gallon, This, he held showed that
there was no real competition in the
business and that the 50-cent tax
would not put Kentucky distillers
at a disadvantage since they would
not be compelled to increase their
price above that charged by dist.ll-
/ ers in other states.
He also cited examples to show
that a sale price OF $3.50 a three
gallon case for whiskey all taxes
paid, allowed distuers a big profit
