Some day some man will tell the people - the whole truth abdut prohi bition, which now is one-aif thelivest at Meyer’s Mill. S. C., on May 2, 192.). Dr. Jones spoke impart as fol lows: The causes of modern wars are for the most part either due to adesire for conquest of territory or for enlarged markets for commerce. To find its causes we must go back 700 years to Run.nymede meadow when the nobles ufM'higlamf wrung from King John in the Magnet Carta the inalienable right of theTreeborn citizens, which are the foundations „of Anglo-Saxon c : viliza- tion. In the defence of these rights against the theory of the“divine rights of kings”Cromwell’s Ironsides brought a new day in England. Our forefath ers, emigrated to America that they might build a better civilization in this fair and pleasant land. These rights are f »und as the germ in the character of every American. These by four years of war and ten years of Reconstruction, see themselves taxed out.of houses and homes to the 1 point of property confiscation ? We have come to the place where many believe that we shall e,r.tcr at once into the millenium if vfe can i have what these taxes are. levied for. The 'mo.-t dangerous thing we face today is a leadership 1 which has frfcrikly rejected all the garnered wis- , , . j dom from the experience of past gen- and deadest of questions.

Federal courts are rapidly assuming jurisdiction in litigation that belongs strictly to State courts. The fe deral treasury is handing out sums for high way constitution, but in- the main for federal purposes.
