Editor The Union Times:
Your Monarch correspondent usual

arch people pretty well, but in. his
article on the hospital bond issue, he
has failed to take into consideration
the fact of-wko pays?
Of county reputation Of around
10000 people, approximately 1000
of them work in our mills 400 fam
lilies, who return for taxation on an
average of around $4,000 per family.
on 40 per cent of which-or $4,000
per family-taxeS are assessed. Ii ~

on our mill families would be Sc

Who pays?
The mills of this County and i.1r'.-

to pay approximately S2300.G0 Of "a"

If then, the mills can be- made 70
nav at least one half. and il the pc.
pie with money and property can b,
made to pay practically all o. ~" res
of any tax assessment; and
If it is worth anything L. yov
have a hospital where you can get ,o

if the other fellow pays for it and
YOU can get the benefits, isn't it the
| poor mans friend?
! Has it been worth anything tC our
Monarch people who have been there?
Ask them if they would rather have
gone to Spartanburg. Would IT be-
worth anything to you? You hardly
ever need fire insurance but once, but
YOU need it badly then.
The hospital is offered to the coun-
ty for OO0O.0O-the other $25. 100000

capacity 1t is crowded now, and
leeds additional room to meet the de-
mand 1t rents now for $36O0.00 per
year, and with additional capacity
should rent for more than enough to
raw the interest on the bonds, and
build up sinking fund.
The chances are that there will be
no additional taxes and if there are
the poor people won't have to pay

MOSCOW LEADERS
HELD TO BLAME

Paris, April % (By the Associat-
ed Press) Responsibility for the
murder and burning of former EN-.
peror Nicholas of Russia and all
members of his family is placed by
Nicholas Sokoloff on the leaders of
the Bolshevik government in Moscow.
He makes his statement after three
years inquiry officially ordered by the
kolchak government.
M. Sokoloff was for many years in
vestigating magistrate under the i'm
perial regime in Russia and is gen
orally described as the best living au-
thority on the circumstances sur
rounding the death of the Russian i'm
perial family.
In support of his accusation Soko-
loft has gathered more than 5000
pages of testimony and a gruesome
collection of photographs, bones and
clothes Among the evidence is a
code telegram, represented as an Off
cial report of the murders to the
Moscow government by the Soviet of
ficials at Ekaterinburg, where the
crime is said to have occurred. 1t
reads: Inform Sverdoloff that the
entire family has endured the same
fate as the head. Officially the fam
lily will perish during the evacuation"
The question of the Moscow
Soviet's responsibility for the death
of Nicholas and his family was re-
vived this week by NJ. Chicherin's
statement at Genoa that responsible
ity rested with the local Soviet and
that Moscow did not know of the ex-
ecutions until after they had hap
pened because communication be-
tween Moscow and Ekaterinburg was
cut off through -slovagian oc-
cupation. This statement has been
the subject of agitated comment and
denial among Russian exiles in Paris
and Sokoloff issued his report with
the intention of furnishing final and
definite proof that full responsibility
not only for the murder of the for
mer emperor but for the murder of
his wife and four daughters is upon
the Moscow government.

A Message to Voters

Now that women have the privilege
Lof voting, let us not take the respon-
sibility lightly, but let all who are
qualified to vote arrange their affairs
so that they can appear at the polls,
even though it entails personal sac
rifice to leave home on that day.
In studying the list Of candidates.
let US honestly try to select those who
are of the highest types of character,
and who are best qualified to fill the
offices which they seek. Do not vote
for man just because his cousins
trother-in- law once lent your grear-
uncle lawn mower! Do not feel OBJ
ligated to vote for any one because he
or some member Of his family has
shown you kindnesses. No matter
how grateful you may be, remember
that your vote should not be narrow
ly personal, but that it should be cast
for those who will fulfill their duties
most admirably. Let our women un-
selfishly vote for tie good of the
town, regardless of any adverse crit
icisms that may result from it.
Personally, l would unhesitatingly
vote against my brother or my nus.
band or my son if their opponents
were better fitted to fill the Office:
they desired. | would consider my
self very unworthy, unpatriotic citi
zen if | were so selfish as to vote
otherwise.

SHERIFF'S RACE
in MUDDLE

There has arisen a question as to
the sheriff's race in Union county this
summer. It appears that there are
some serious doubts as to just what
the status is. One Of three things, it
appears, must hold:
1. That there will be an election for
the unexpired portion of Sheriff
Fant's term.
2. Or, for full term of four years.
8. Or, there will be no election un-
til two years from now, and in that
case Sheriff Vinson will hold over to
that time.
We will all receive with interest an
opinion from the attorney general, if
he should render one. The whole ques-
ton is now "up in the air." and no.
body seems to know just where we
stand.

MANY PRISONERS
ARE SENTENCED

New York, April -four
persons appeared for sentence today
in the criminal court of Manhattan
the largest number that ever went ur
TO the bar in a single day to take their
medicine in the history of the city.
Most Of them received unusually Sc.
we're punishment, the judges holding
that severity was needed to check the
frequency Of crime.
Eugene Diaset and Noise Bagnol
confessed participants in the recent
$4,000 midday holdup and robbery
Of the Washington square home of AL.
bert R. Shattuck, retired banker, were
both sentenced by Judge Rosalsky to
confinement of 40 to 60 years in Sing
Sing. They were two of the gang of
five which locked the Shattucks and
their servants in the wine vault, where
they almost suffocated while the home
was boldly plundered. Their counsel
asked for light punishment, as both
had good war records in the service
"a substantial sentence must be
imposed" said the Judge, "such a
sentence as will strike terror to the
hearts of bandits of this kind"
Three of the four men who tried to
hold up Charles M. Brady, construc-
tion company cashier, on March 81
near the Grand Central terminal, were
given lS year second offenders, and
the fo, rth man got eight years as a
first offender. All had pleaded guilty
Theirs was a daylight holdup, frus-
trated by detectives, tipped off in ad-
vance
Charles e. Tampa, %, thrice con-
victed Of carrying pistol, got seven
years.
Harry Testa, "a, was given 30
year sentence for holding up the own
n of a delicatessen store and forcing
aim to turn over the $50 in the cash
register.
Philip Spelieti, 18, received a ten
year sentence for a similar crime.
A warning against undue optimism
that crime had been checked was Civ
en- by Judge Rosalsky in dismissing
the regular and additional grand ju.
ries. He reminded them that penal in
stitutions were daily discharging
large numbers, "who have been con-
yicted of crime and who will return to
tcrime.n - sss,s. .,,-., -. .ss. ~,
''The real crooks are seldom
caught" he added. "When you read
in the papers of burglary or rob-
berry you seldom read of the capture
The authorities of this city who com
bat crime are satisfied that there is a
band of master crooks who direct
crime in the city and it is these we
must get"

TRIAL OF NURSE
CAUSES CLASH

Montross, Va, April 28.-Intense
excitement developed at today's ses.
sion of the trial of Miss Sarah E.
Knox, charged with the murder of
Mrs. Roger d. Eastlake at Colonial
Beach, when the lie was passed be-
tween Harry M. Smith, Jr., chief
counsel for the defense, and A. r.
Crowthers of Ocean City, N. j., ono
of the states chief witnesses. After
the court had ruled on the question
which caused the contention, the mat
ter was smoothed out and Mr.. Smith
apologized for using the term.
The dispute arose when Crowthers,
who, the prosecution contends, sharp
ened the hatchet with which the MUIR

a visit to Ocean City January "a,

"Well, you hear one now," the law
yer retorted.

witness warned, "when me meet out

Watt T. Mayo, commonwealth at

Joseph w. Chinn raped sharply for
order.
Mr.. Smith then addressed the

ordered both lawyers to their seats,
declaring Mr.. Smith was within his
rights and that, if the prosecution
