C., Fob. 1.-"Uncle Hill" Hopkins, colored, known far and wide because of his reputation as a wood cutter, died the other day, leaving an estate valued at $15,000. .Most of tho money was accumulated as the result of his labors with his trusty axe, although he farmed a little and ; owned a few small cottages in Shel- i by, X. C., which he rented to negroes, j "Uncle Bill" was a unique charac ter. Born a slave and remaining so until the close of the War Between tho States, he never lost his titbits i of slavery days, always speaking to and of white people as "Massa" and "M?88U8." He was a champion wood-cutter, and while he cut only small piles at a time, he would often work weil ' into the night in order to keep up with nnd ahead of his work. Not being able to read and write, he had to keep his accounts in his head, willi the result that ho had cultivated a wonderful memory. He never forgot a debt he owed, and he never forg a debt owing him. He never gave a mortgage In his life, and on his little farm generally raised all the neces sary foodstuffs for his home. A mulo plowed by Bill tor many years died tho same night that hd died, according to reports from tho northwestern section of the county, where ho was well known. A short time before his death tho old darkey donated $500 to a negio school In order that the younger members of his race might have op portunities that he was denied.

For instance, a captain on his staff had roused his ire more than once by sins of omission along the line of duty. Just before the battle of Gaines' Mill, thc captain's services wore required to carry an Important j dispatch, but he could not be found at : headquarters. An orderly, sent to search for him, reported he had been wounded. "Wounded!" exclaimed Major El wood, another member of the staff. "Why there has been so fighting sinca I saw him late last night." Stonewalls beard began to bristle. "Captain Blank was undoubtedly wounded by the accidental discharge of his duty," he snorted. Thousands of Americans today are fooling with the "unloaded" gun ol duty. It ls the duty of every man to provide for his future and for the safety and happiness of those depend' cot upon him, to lay aside regularly ? certain portion of the yield of bia hands and brain. Properly discharged, that duty is a weapon of safety ,and protection. Improperly discharged like the "unloaded" gun-lt may crip ple you for life and ruin the future of those dear to you. The only safe way to discharge that duty ls through sound, profitable, reg ular investment. Such, Investments are ?ow ready, at hand.

WctH Still Whining for Tnnking-Up Privileges-Liberty Not Ijlccnse. (H. H. Culver, Now York.) Franklin ll. Giddings, In a r?cent article in tho Independent, calls the eighteenth and nineteenth amend ments "Government by Bullying." He asks, "Have tho American people become tired of liberty?" Like the bar-room disputant, ho confusos lib erty with license. True liborty ls lib erty under the law. Said John Jay, the first Chief Justice of tho United States, "Nothing but a strong gov ernment of laws, irresistibly, Irresist ibly bearing down arbitrary power and licentiousness can defend lt (the new govornmont)- against these two formidable enemies. Lot it be remembered that civil liberty consists not in a fight of overy man to do just as ho pleases, but In an equal right to all citizens to have, enjoy and do, In peace, security and without molestation whatever the equal and constitutional laws of tho country admit to be consistent with the public good." Liquor Not Consistent With Good. Prohibition wus an act pf national self-defense. If prohibition of the entiro liquor traille is "bullying," then prohibition of any part of it is bullying. So, if Mr. Giddings is con sistent he would object to tho vari ous restrictions that have been plac ed upon tho traffic from time to time. Saloons have been forbidden to keep open for certain days and during cer tain hours. They have boon forbid den to sell to minors, to habitual drunkards, to Indians, otc. Had they obeyed these laws their sales would have been decreased, and some of them put out of business. Laws for bidding more than a certain number of saloons to each 1,000 inhabitants have been passed, putting some deal ers out of business. Local option has closed thousands ot saloons. Were these acts "govornmont by bul lying?" No; they were futile at tempts to regulate an evil, and tho persistent dellance of all laws bas I convinced the American people that tho liquor trafile cannot be mended, and, therefore, must be ended. It ls nauseating to hear opponents of prohibition talk of liberty as syn onymous with the license of a class to ruin manhood, debauch woman hood and blight childhood. "O, Lib erty, Liberty, what crimes are com mitted in thy name!" Hear the pur turbed Mr. Giddings: "Do wo now despise all those political principles that wore sot forth in the Declara tion of Independence, for which the War of Independence was fought and which were formulated in tho earlier amendments of tho Federal Consti tution?" Bah! Shucks! Rats! Like wise, Piffle! As Bob Burdotte said, "The Declaration of Independence was not written on a beor keg in a saloon on a Sunday afternoon, not by a jug-full!" And roference to the Federal Constitution is equally inept. What were the objects which the framers of the Constitution had In mind? Its preamble tolls us: "To* form a moro perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, pro moto the general wolfare, and secure tho blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity." "To form a more perfect union." We have a moro perfect union since slavory was abolished. And we will have a still moro perfect union with tho liquor trafile outlawed from ocean to ocoan. "To establish Justice." By brib ery, by intimidation, by forcing sa loons into unwilling commun it los, by trickery of every kind, the liquor power has ever sought to thwart Jus tice. "To insure domestic tranquility." j Tho drink evil has been the great de I stroyer of domestic tranquility, the great, promoter of discord and dis turbance. "To provide for tho common de fense." We found during the war that it was necessary to koop liquor away from the training camps, and that it hindered military efficiency In the roar. Tho disloyalty of tho brewers was shown by Congressional investigation. Von Moltko said, "Boor ls a far moro dangorous ene my than all tho armies of Fran?1 ? " And Lloyd-George said: "Wo aro lighting threo onemlos-Germany, j Austria and Drink, and tho most ; dangerous of the three ls assuredly i Drink." j "To promote tho general wolfare." Tho liquor trafile ls destructivo of tho general welfare. "And secure tho blessings of lib orty to ourselves nnd our postority.' ? Tho abolition of tho liquor traffic If j ono of tho grontost blessings we frtii j socuro for ourselves or our postority. ?

Stato Dry for 20 Months, Had More Money Than Usual by Million. According to tho Inst annual re port of State Auditor Donahey, of .Ohio, the Stato troasury was in bet ter condition than it had boon for years, at the close of tho fiscal yoar, Juno 30, 1920. The cash balance ou June 30 was $9,011,182. That was $2,112,000 more than tho year be fore and by moro than one million dollars the largest balance at the closo. of a fiscal year in the history of the State, according to the Audi tor's statement. The fiscal year ending June 30, 19 20, was practically synchronous with the first dry year, the State prohibition law having gone into ef fect May 27, 1919. The liquor inter ests predicted that the loss of liquor revenue would bankrupt the State. It is therefore extremely gratifying to find that the most prosperous year foi the Stato treasury department in the history of the State was the firs? dry year. The inheritance tax, Increased auto license fees, other minor new sources of revenue, together with increase in property duplicates of the State, more than offset the loss ot liquor revenue and the increased cost ot government. It is apparent from the Audi tot's report that the next General Assem bly of Ohio does not have to wot ry about taxation to increase the reve nue of the State.
