Gasoline Tax for First Three Months. Charleston county leads the entire state in the amount to be received from the gasoline tax for the first payment of the year, this being for March, April and May, sent out by Samuel T. Carter, state treasurer. Charleston's share was $9,306.91. Mc Cormick tailed the ticket with $756. 36. Treasurer Carter has sent checks to all the counties for their share of the first three months, this being 50 per cent of the total collected, $216, 901.57. The counties received $108, 448.56. Under the law the tax of two cents a gallon on gasoline is divided 50-50 between the counties and the state, the amount to the counties to be used exclusively for road purpos es. Each county gets a proportionate share in the fund according to the ra tio of the collection in the county to total in the state and the ratio of the assessed value of the property in the county to the total assessed value of the property of the.state. The tax so far has averaged about $72,300 a month and at that rate should bring in a total of a little over $700,000 for this year. The law went into effect March 1. The amounts sent to all the coun ties for the first payment were as follows: -fxouevilie - - - - - $1,515.16 Aiken_ 3,457.12 Allendale_ 828.20 Anderson_ 5,382.31 Bamberg_ 1,028.61 Barnwell_ 1,158.74 Beaufort_ 1,037.60 Berkeley_ 1,051.64 Calhoun_ 936.82 Charleston_ 9,306.96 Cherokee_ 2,229.38 Chester_ 2,230.34 Chesterfield __ __ - __ 1,400.60 Clarendon_ 1,185.4.5 Colleton_ 1,411.37 Darlington_ 2,804.77 Dillon_ 1,411.30 Dorchester_ 1,081.46 Edgefield_ 1,775.30 Florence_ 3,349.33 Georgetown_ 1,294.46 Greenville_ 6,924.15 Greenwood_2,639.40 Hampton_ 1,094.22 Dorry_ 1,092.35 Jsaper_ 881.51 Kershaw "_ 1,898.80 Lancaster_ 1,365.13 Laurens_ 2,539.75 Lee_ 1,508.30 Lexington_ 1,81.646 McCormick_ 756.36 Marion_ 1,323.74 Marlboro __ __ __ __ 2,423.66 Newberry_ 2,424.49 Oconee_ 1,592.11 Orangeburg_ 3,377.10 Pickens - - _- - 1,773.47 Richland_ 7,064.33 Saluda_ 1,012.31 Spartanburg_ 7,906.28 Sumter_ 2,782.81 Union_ 2,396.56 Williamsburg_ 1,541.61 York_ 3,311.50 Totol_. $108,448.56 Candle Eggs to Make Sure They Are Fresh. Do you know how to tell the qual ity of an egg without breaking the shell? All you need is a pasteboard box with a hole lYi. inches in diam eter, a strong light such as is furnish ed by a lamp or an electric light bulb, a dark room, and the egg. When the .egg is held close against the hole the strong light renders its contents vis ible and its quality is indicated by the appearance of the yolk, the white and the air space at the blunt end. By comparing the egg with charts furnished by the United States De partment of Agriculture in Depart ment Bulletin 51, it is possible to learn the exact condition of an egg before it is broken. Testing eggs by candling, as it is called, may not only be used by the housewife in obtaining fresh eggs for her table, but has also proved to be commercially practicable in prevent ing loss by separating for local con sumption eggs that, because of cracks, wetness, incipient spoilage and other defects are likely to spoil in shipment. Su'h eggs are suitable for immediate use, but will not stand shipping. Candling as near as possible to source of production will not only save transportation and storage charges for the farmers who wish to buy and sell on an accurate quality basis, but will prevent the loss of a valuable food product. This method of conversation was tried out during the world war and the results have been so gratifying that many states have made it s> permanent feature of their food-control work. Department Bulletin ol, which con tains these charts, may be obtained from the Superintendent of Docu ments, Government Printing Office, Washington, D. C., for 40 cents. lt is Sacrifice That Makes All Deeds Effective. There is money and money. We are told that "a pound's a pound whoever gives it," whether Dives, who is bur dened with abundance, or a widow, who is surrendering her all. "A pound's a poundwhoever gives it." I have come to regard such speech as the most perilous and deadly non sense. A pound may be a pound, who ever gives it, if you are only going to build a stable; but a pound may greatly differ from another pound if you are going to build the city of God. If these realms of material gifts become shrnes, and they may be full or empty of mystic spiritual power. I have come to believe that, if a spir itual influence can accompany a ma terial gift. In these realms of charac ter the giver determines the momen tum of his gift. If there be sacrifice in the giver there will be spiritual power in the gift. I believe that all our offerings-of strength, or time, or money-have their virtue condi tioned by the sacrifice which gave them birth. And, therefore, by this reasoning, the poor widow may give more than Dives; the lesser gift may be more effective than the greater. -Rev. J. H. Jowett. $5,000 Worth of American Prohibition. "You people in the United States do not half appreciate your wonder ful prohibition law," remarked a vis itor from a distant country. "You let the widespread wet publicity about the violation of the law blind you to the stupendous benefits accru ing from it even partially enforced as it is. We from drink-cursed coun tries see the situation more clearly than you do." To illustrate the impression the re sults of our law makes upon foreign ers the visitor told of a man from Australia who had not been especial ly interested in the temperance cause until he had occasion to make a busi ness trip to the United States. Upon his return to his city, he walked into the office of a temperance organiza tion, then engaged in a wet and dry campaign, and throwing down upon the desk a check for five thousand dollars, said, "I've been in the United States and have seen conditions un der prohibition. I want the same thing to happen in this country of mine, so here's my contribution to help the cause in Australia."-Ex. Prohibition Enforcement Pays For Itself. The amount expended in prohibi tion enforcement during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1921, covering salaries, rent, travel, and other inci dentals, was $6,250,095.43. The amount of assessments involving civ il penalties, special taxes, and the like, was $53,296,998.87, of which $2,152,387.45 has been collected. This does not include court fines which are being compiled, nor over $1,000,000 penalties from brewers. In addition the appraised value of property seized was $10,906,687.43 -United States Senator Wesley L. Jones' speech in Senate, November 15th. YOU AND I. If men would cease to worry, And women cease to sigh, A.nd all be glad to bury Whatever has to die ; if neighbor spake to neighbor, As love demands of all, The rust would eat the sabre, The spear stay on the wall; Then every day would glisten , And every eye would shine, And God would pause to listen, And life would be divine. . Of course your first responsibility is for prohibition over the four square inch territory in front of your mouth. Next it is for effective and ?fficiently enforced local laws. -Then follows your interest in state and na tional prohibition enforcement. Notice.

Allen's Calendar of Last Sundayfl Hymn 7 Come, Thou Almighty King, Help us Thy name to sing, Help us to praise: Father all glorious, O'er all victorious, C >me and reign over us, Ancient of days. Come, Thou Incarnate Word, ?Gird on Thy mighty sword, Our prayer attend: Come and Thy people bless, And give Thy word success, Spirit of holiness, On us descend. To the great One in Three, Eternal praises be Hence evermore. His sov'reign majesty May we in glory see, And to eternity Love and adore. Hymn 15 How happy ev'ry child of grace, Who knows his sins forgiv'n! "This earth!" he cries, "is not my place, I seok a place in Heav'n A country far from mortal sight, Which yet by faith I see, The land of rest, the saints' de light, The Heav'n prepared for me." O what a blessed hope is our3.f While here on earth we stay, We more than taste the heavenly powers, And ante-date that day; We feel the resurrection near, Our life in Christ concealed, And with His glorious presence here Our earthen vessels filled. O would He more of Heav'n be stow, And let the vessels break, And let our ransomed spirits go To grasp the God we seek; In rapturous awe on Him to gaze, Who bought the sight for me; And shout and wonder at His . grace, Through all eternity! Hymn 577 I will sing of my Redeemer, And His wondrous love to me, On the cruel cr6ss He suffered, From the curse to set me free. (Refrain) -Sing, oh sing, of my Redeemer, With His blood He purchased me; On the cross He sealed my pardon, Paid the debt and made me free. I will tell the wondrous story, How my lost estate to save; In His boundless love and mercy He, the ransom freely gave. I will praise my dear Redeemer, His triumphant pow'r I'll tell; How the victory He giveth Over sin and death and hell. Vesper Verse, Hymn 60 Sweet hour of prayer, sweet hour of prayer, That calls me from a world of care And bids me at my Father's throne Make all my wants and wishes known ! In seasons of distress and grief, My soul has often found relief, And oft escaped the tempter's snare, By thy return, sweet hour of prayer! Hymn 118 Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord, God Al mighty ! Early in the morning our song shall rise to Thee. Holy, Holy, Holy, Merciful and Mighty, God in three persons, Blessed Trinity. Holy, Holy, Holy, all the saints adore Thee, Casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea, Cherubim and Seraphim, falling down before Thee, Which wert and art and evermore shall be. Holy, Holy, Holy, though the dark ness hide Thee, Though the eye of sinful man Thy glory may not see; Only Thou art holy, there is none beside Thee, Perfect in power, in love and pu rity. Hymn 26 Jesus shall reign where-er the sun Does his successive journeys run; His kingdom spread from shore to shore, Till moons shall wax and wane no more. From north to south the princes meet To pay their homage ?t His feet; While western empires own their Lord, And savage tribes attend His word. To Him shall endless prayer be made, And endless praises crown His head; His name like sweet perfume shall . rise, . With every morning sacrifice.

Asserting that prohibition in the United States and some of the Cana dian provinces has been "a big con tribution to the spiritual regeneration of the World, Lady Astor said she heard it said that the rich in America could get drinks, though the poor could not, but she added that she had not seen such a condition herself. She said special workers had told her the Salvation Army, social societies and churches now had a greatly re duced task as a result of the dry laws, i "When I balance the result, offset the uplifting of the poor and strug gling and the salvation that prohibi tion has brought to many wives and children, against the alleged degra dation of some of the rich-well, I have no doubt the net result for the country has been good," she contin ued. "The general sentiment seems to be that it is the rich, not the poor who really get the worst of it." Lady Astor said the only anti American propaganda she had seen in England was engendered by jiquor interests that had gone into politics over the liquor question. She said prohibition had shown itself not only a problem of social welfare, but of clean politics as well.

"The longer I live and the more I see of it (the liquor traffic) the more bitterly I am opposed to the manufac ture and sale of liquor, because I look upon it as the basis and founda tion of ninety per cent of the crime and criminals we have in the country today." This is the reply of Warren S. Stone, Grand Chief of the Broth erhood of Locomotive Engineers, to a questionairre sent out by the Man ufacturers' Record, asking if he were still opposed to the traffic in strong drink. In my study ' of the labor prob lems," continues Mr. Stone, "I find a marked improvemnt in the number of men who are saving their money {and who own their homes or are buy ing their homes, and I find a decided improvement in the home life of the workers due to the fact that the wo men and children have more food, more clothing and better care in ev ery way. Back of all that, the worker takes his family and goes to the pic ture show or to the park now, when he formerly spent his evenings in the saloon, drinking and spending his money..I think I can truthful ly say that drunkenness has decreas ed at least 75 per cent among the workers." nie Quinine Thst Does Not Affect The Head 1 Because of its tonic and laxative effect, LAXA* ' riVE BROMO QUININE is betterthanordinar> Quinine and does not cause nervousness nor ringing in head.
