"PLAY THE GAME FAIR." *
P
We have all heard of the man who d
wpuld rather be right than presi- e
dent, but the men of Greenville will e
have an opportunity tomorrow af- e
| ternoon to hear a man who was
Tight even though his Tightness kept b
him from having a chance to be the a
winner from the exceptionally large a
field of candidates in the guberna- P
r torial race of 1914. Had Prof. J. P
< G. Clinkscales not been so uncompromising
in favor of real compul- s<
: ' sory education and prohibition, he
would have gotten many more votes. ^
But he is not that kind of man. He r<
always stands "four-square to all &
the winds that blow." At 4 o'clock c
tomorrow afternoon in the opera h
I house he will speak to men. His n
fc subject will be: "Play the Game
I Fair." That's the way he plays it, t
which fact will give weight to his n
g; words. That's the way he as a col- c
lege professor for many years has
f been teaching the youths in his *
K classes to play it. If you want to .
hear a strong and helpful speech, rj
r be at the opera house tomorrow at c
4 p. m.?The Piedmont. -s

HIGHER TAXES. t
?j
The Senate has so amended the ^
' appropriation bill that it carries ?
proposed approprations of nearly t
three millions of dollars. By the
time this paper goes to press the ^
matter of appropriations will have c
been settled, and the people will I
wake up to the fact that state taxes c
have been increased about one and |
one-half to two mills over last (
year, when we Jbelieve the rate was i
higher than it had been for years. 1
We do not know what the county (
levy will be, but if everybody gets 1
what they want we suppose that the s
county levy will certainly not be t
any lower, especially in view of the j;
fact that a portion of the county ?
has been cut off, and we have prac- t
I tically the same officers as hereto- c
Wtf. fore. ^
This is the result of the creation ^
of Boards and Commissions, 'en- r
? couraging" High Schools and sup- i
porting "Weak Schools", etc. Until
the; people of the State send representatives
to the legislature 0
pledged to vote against such abuses "
they may expect to pay the fiddler. '
>
A GREAT IDEA.
We have supposed from his votes
! that Representative Neuffer was in
favor of Drohibition. but his latest
suggestion in the matter of allowing
the sheriffs of the several counties
to prescribe liquor for patients
E- causes us to have some doubts on <
p; the question. Representative Neuf- ]
fer stated that he was willing to {
[; > accept the Durant bill sent over to 1
fe the House by the Senate, which
bill forbids the use of liquors as a (
[ beverage but allows the use for 1
medicinal purposes on the prescrip- ]
K tion of a physician under certain }
| . restrictions. He, however, wanted
the prescriptions to be written by
the sheriffs of the counties instead ^
[*' of the doctors.
Now we are not insinuating that 1
sheriffs are any worse than other <
officers, nor tnat any omcer in tne
court house is any different from
another individual who might hold <
f his office, but any reasonable man .
knows that to allow a man holding J
office on the popular vote, to pre- J
: scribe or order liquors for individuals
would be open to such abuses
as to make the thing intolerable. <
There are no better people in the j
country to manage the liquor ques- '
.... ,. .
tion than tne doctors. 11 nquor is
to be used only for medicinal purposes
it should be prescribed by the 2
*
L... ,
octors alone. It is no excuse t<
ly that some doctors will abus<
le law. We do not think many o
lem will, and we promise now t?
ive the people of Abbeville count;
history of such abuses. The ex
ress office must keep the record
pen to public inspection, and
ummary of prescriptions filed wit
lie names of the doctors givin;
ame will make interesting reading
ind the people are entitled to kno>
bout all public matters.
THP RflNH ISSUE.
We stated sometime ago that i
re could build two hundred mile
f permanent roads in this count
y an expenditure of orfe hundre
housand dollars, (the Federal go\
rnment contributing a like amount
re would favor a bond issue for th
rork.
We would be willing to go. t
ny reasonable length to have goo
oads in Abbeville county, but
ond issue of three hundred thous
nd dollars is more than this count
hould assume at this time. Th
axable property of the county i
bout four and one half millions o
ollars. The interest on a bonde
adebtednesa of three hundre
tiousand dollars at four and ,on<
alf per cent, would amount t
hirteen thousand five hundred dol
irs annually, and would require
ivy of three mills to pay the sam<
t would take a levy of a like amoun
3 create a sinking fund sufficient t
ay the principal when due. In ad
ition to this there would be th
xpense of keeping up the roads, a;
xpense equal perhaps to the pres
nt cost of maintaining the roads.
There are many advantages t
e had from good roads and the;
re economical in many ways, bu
a increase in the tax levy of fift;
er cent will not be voted by th
eople of the county heedlessly.
Several of the counties in thi
jction of the state are voting bond
or the construction of these roads
7e should, it seems to us, await th
esult of their work. We can affor
) be a'little behind these othe
ounties, if thereby we may profi
y their experience, if not thei
listakes.
At any rate with the increase i
axes for other appropriations w
aay at least take an inventory an
ontemplate pur resources.
