Death Claims Bishop Kilgo. ?Charlotte, N. C., Aug. ll.-Bishop John C. Kilgo of the Southern Meth odist Episcopal church died at his home here at 1:45 this morning af ter having been extremely ill since last Sunday when he suffered a se vere heart attack. Bishop Kilgo had been gradually sinking since last Thursday after noon and his death had been expect ed hourly by his physicians and fam ily. Since Sunday little or no hope had' been entertained for his recov erry. Dr. Kilgo had been well known in the South for a score of years, hav ing served as president cf Trinity College at Durham, N. C., for six years prior to his election as bishop 12 years a go. At the last general of the Southern Methodist church at Hot Springs, Ark., he was placed on . the bishops' retired list. The aged minister had never entirely recover ed from the severe attack last spring on his way home from the general conference, which forced him to re . main under treatment in a Memphis hospital for several weeks, finally be ing brought home on a cot in the private car of Fairfax Harrison, president of the Southern railway, of which Bishop Kilgo was a direct <.or. He regained sufficient strength however, to leave his bed and sever al times took rides about the city with members of his family. He made one trip to Baltimore where ?e was under treatment of a special ist for several days. Bishop John Carlisle Kilgo was born in Laurens, S. C., July 22, 1861, son of James T. and Catherine Mason Kilgo. He was educated in the schools of his native state and receiv ed the honorary degree of D. D| from Wofford and Randolph Macon colleges and Tulane university. He was united in marriage with Miss Fannie Turner of Gaffney, S. C In 1882 he was ordained a minister in the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, and served in various pastor ates in the South Carolina confer ence until 1889 when he was called to Wofford college as professor of philosophy and financial agent. In 1894 he was elected president of Trinity college, Durham, Isl. C., where he served until 1910 when he was elected bishop of the Methodist church at the conference in Ashe ville, N. C. He was a delegate to the general Methodist conference in 1894, 1898, 1902, 1906 and 1910, delegate to the .Ecumenical Methodist conference in London in 1901. He was a frater nal delegate to the general confer ence of the Methodist church in Los Angeles in 1904 when he made a speech advocating the union of the Northern and Southern branches of the Methodist church. Senate Hears Talk of Cotton. Washington, Aug 10.-Investiga tion of charges that "undue meth ods or practices are being employed by the trade in restraining the natur al operations of the law of supply and demand" and depressing cotton prices was proposed in a resolution introduced today by Senator Smith (Democrat) of South Carolina. The resolution was referred to the agri culture committee. Senator Smith's resolution recited that the cotton carried over was less than normal and that reports on the growing crop indicated a yield below the world demand. It also stated that the boll weevil damage was "more extensive and severe than ever be fore in history . . .,making the yield entirely problematical." "The price of cotton in the mar kets has failed utterly to respond to thtese conditions," said Senator Smith's resolution. Senator Smith made public a let ter from J. S. Wannamaker, pr?si dent of the American Cotton asso ciation, reporting that New York and English cotton speculators were working together to beat down the market. "Since the government's crop re- ! port was issued-one of the most bullish reports ever known-the market has gone down every day," said Mr. Wannamaker in his letter, [ "and it is the general talk of the trade that a powerful combine has been formed for the purpose of beat ing cotton prices down, it being stat ed that this combine is composed of some of the biggest financial inter ests in New York-some of the big- ; gest speculators there, and some of ; the biggest speculators in England and that they boast that they will beat the price of cotton down to 15 , cents. Through some of the most re liable sources I am given this infor mation." . . Invigorating to the Pale and Sickly j The Old Standard general strengthening- tonic.

South Carolina has voted so far on prohibition: for enforcement 799, for modification, 730, for repeal 250. On the bonus it has voted Yes 712, No 1057. This is the third tabulation of the Literary Digest's votes, the first hav ing reached 95,000, and the second when the proportion of the "wets" and the "moists" was greater than in the third tabulation of 480,000 Some of the outside comments after the first tabulation are significant, and we give no encouragement what ever to the saloon's friends and very little to the advocates of beer and light wines. Strong "wet" journals see no hope that the saloon will ever return. The Baptist of Chicago, official organ of the Baptists in America, says "America is 'dry,' and will stay 'dry.' " Speaking of the first tabula tion of 95,000 votes, it says: "Not a single state gives a majority for repeal-not even New Jersey, nor New York. Cutting out the Southern and western states, predominantly 'dry' (many of them by state enact ment before the amendment was adopted), the 14 Northeastern states (nearly all 'wet' before the amend ment), taken as a whole, voted against repeal 3 to 1. New Jersey and Pennsylvania voted 2 1-2 to 1 against repeal; New York, Illinois and Massachusetts 3 to 1; Wisconsin nearly 7 to 1. California, with its no torious 'wet' proclivities, voted 4 to 1 against repeal.-Newberry Ob sei"ver. Death at the Crossing. Every thinking person realizes that caution is necessary in driving over railroad tracks. Every person of sane mind knows that it is almost suicidal to act about the same there as in other places. For many years those long stretches of iron rails have been used by engines and trains. Only at intervals are the crossings occupied by trains. When so occu pied, the highway traveler must keep back out of the way if he desires to keep alive. The man at the throttle of the locomotive is charged with the duty of getting his train through safely and promptly. Every day, thousands of travelers are eager to get through on time and if the engineer meets their expections, he must roll off the miles on schedule time. No stops at crossings. In the course of his trip, that en gineer sees a lot of things that wor ry him. He notices that some drivers of motor cars come pell-mell up to the crossing, acting as if they intend ed to make a dash across ahead of his train. Some of them make a sud den stop just before they reach the tracks, while others speed across, risking their lives just for the sake of one more thrill. He notices some drivers whose thoughts seem to be centered upon far-off things. They appear not to listen and it is a sure thing that they do not look both ways for trains. On a fair day the country looks very agreeable to the men on the engine, who wonder that with life presenting so pleasing an aspect, so many automobile drivers seem will ing to risk losing their share of it. It is no wonder that the engineer says to the fireman: "Why in the name of all that's good and glorious cant these autoists use horse sense?" This engineer has heard that five thousand people riding in automo biles were either killed or injured driving across railroad tracks last year. "No wonder the casualty list is a big one!" he exclaims, "and that fellow who just beat his way across lame mighty close to getting his name on the 1922 list."-Anderson fribune.

Highest Duty on Suger Since the Grant Era. Washington, Aug. 8.-The sugar bloc in the senate succeeded today ?n forcing into the tariff blil the high est duty on sugar since the days of the Grant administration, following the Civil War. The rates adopted are 1.84 cents a pound on Cuban su gar brought into the United States. Virtually all sugar now imported comes from Cuba. - These duties, it is charged by the opposition, will decrease the cost of living of the American people direct ly, without any pyramiding in pass ing them along to the consumers, $15,000,000 a year. With the accom panying increase/ in American beet and cane sugar and other price ma nipulations certain to result, it is de clared the additional burden on tha public will amount to many millions more. Only a Half Victory. ? But even then the sugar bloc won only a half victory. They made their fight and thought they had it won, for duties of 2 cents a pound on Cu ban and 2.50 on other sugar. The, lower rates were put through only after the higher duties had been de feated. The shifting of two senators^" Wadsworth, of New York and Willis, Ohio, Republicans, made possible the adoption of the second amend ment they stood against the rates lit* an amendment by Senator Broussard Democrat, of Louisiana, which was rejected 33 to 37. Then when Sen ator Smoot, Republican of Utah, pro posed the 1.84-2.30 schedule, they switched to the affirmative, giving the same majority for the latter pro posal that had been recorded against the former. Party Lines Smashed. Party lines were smashed in the two votes. Sixteen Republicans voted against the Broussard amendment and all of them except Wadsworth and Willis stood pat on the Smoot proposal. The other fourteen were: Borah, Calder. Colt, Cummins, Edge, Frelinghuysen, Hale, Keyes, Lenroot, Lodge, McCormick, McCumber, Pep per and Sutherland. Four Democrats voted for both amendments. They were: Broussard, Jones of New Mexico, Kendricks and Ransdall. The rates in the bill as reported by the finance committee were the same as adopted by the house, x.C cents a pound on Cuban sugar and 2 cents on all other sugar. These du ties also are now in operation under^ \v,vRob tha oil Aem o Davpn H mVO the emergency tariff act. The new rate on Cuban sugar is 34 cents per 100 pounds higher than in the hifgher than under the Underwood Simmons Act. Senator Reed, making his first speech since his return from the great primary victory last Tuesday, led the fight against the bounty along with Senator Lenroot on the Republican side. Tote Fair. It has appeared to us all along that the attacks being made on the state tax commission are unfair, and unjust. The commission is fol lowing the law laid down by the state legislature for assessing and equalizing taxes. The first impulse of every citizen ought to be that the law is right; fur ther investigation might prove it wrong. So just to turn loose a string of billingsgate and abuse against the law without showing reasons against it is to adopt that most pessimistic spirit and most hurtful of all policies that "whatever is is wrong." The legislature that enacted the tax law and chose the tax commis sion would compare favorably, to say the least, with the average legisla ture. The experts who were employ ed by the legislature and who laid the facts and the recommendatians before that body are presumably honest and capable men, and they had no motive or reason for foisting a bad law on the people. Why talk about "smelling com mittees?" That is childish criticism; worse than that, it is harmful criti cism, calculated to make people dis satisfied not only with the tax act and the tax commission, but with all taxes and all public officers, but in culcating the idea that the former is unjust and the latter dishonest. If any critic of the law or of the tax commission has a better plan, let him tell what it is, and show how it is better, or else hold his peace and cease stirring up dissatisfaction to no good purpose.

People would consume more of this valuable food if they were fully aware of these facts.
