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

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.

Hymns Taken From Rev. A. T.
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.

Lady Astor Likes American
Prohibition.
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.

At Least 75 Per Cent, Says
Head of Locomotive En
gineers.
"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."
