E. H. AULL. EDITOR.
Friday, July 8, 1921.
Dr. T. H. Dreher is putting some
pep in the editorial columns of the
Calhoun Times since he assumed the
editorial control of that paper. He;
goes at it just as if he were an oldj
stager at the business and much bet- j
ter and much more vigorous than;
some of us old stagers can possibly!
attain. He is a clear thinker and!
then he does not hesitate to express:
those thoughts in plain and virile '
English. It is refreshing to read an
editorial page such as Dr. Dreher is
giving the Calhoun Times.
Sunday's State contained among its
items from The State of twenty years
ago the following paragraph: "The ;
first rural free delivery in the county,
was made Monday. The citizens who(
live along the line, which is the
TTTi 1 J 4.5,. o-ro '
nilltiauuiu aiiu muilbitcnu i uauo, aivj
delighted at this idea of having a daily ^
mail." Just think of it if you can.j
The first rural daily delivery of mail
in Richland county was just twenty!
years ago. Why we all feel that we!
have had the thing aH the time. In
fact we believe that we did have it
in Newberry before that time, but not
so long. If we mistake not one of the
first rural delivery routes in the state
was out from Slighs and was secured,
through Mr. Asbury Latimer who was
then the congressman from this district.
Representative H. P. Fulmer in an
interview wi& The State says he
would limit the rate of interest the
federal *. reserve system of banks
should charge the member banks and
* make the maximum five per cent, and J
he-is rigftt in tnat, 11 tms system tu

of the fellow it is helping, but, Mr.j
JhiJmer, how abotit helping the little,
fellow .who;.-really pays the interest?

&ho is paying the interest? He will
just go on paying 8 and 9 per cent
and' glad to get the money at that[

'it at the price he is securing
for his produce.

banks or even three banks in New
York. |

was created is carried out.
* TOM WATSON IS RIGHT
The whole country, and particular-'
ly the South, will stand with Hon.
Tom Watson of Georgia in his char-,1
acteristic outburst in the senate the:
other day when debate was being held
on the Townsend bill which would, in
effect, require the several states to
surrender to the federal government
their public highways, to be improv-j
ed, changed and administered as the
government sees fit. Mr. Watson
vigorously declared by the eternals,'
or something like that, that the
grind old commonwealth of Georgia-1
-owiiM never surrender her sovereign-j
ty and that she would continue to.j
exercise authority over the roads'
within her own borders.
""Have we come to the time when
states exist merely to pay tribute to
an imperial government in Washing-1
1ton?" asked the Georgia senator.1
rrM ?hie #vu?n nnesf.ion.
men, r1^x115 w ??? n
he shouted:
"No, there is not enough- gold in
the world to buy the soul of the I
South."
Senator Watson is about right inj
his inference that state have come to
exist merely, to pay tribute to an
imperial government in Washington.
?Anderson Daily Mail.
I
We had made note of the same
paragraph from Senator Watson's.
speech with the intention of making'
A --j tha nnci_ '
commem, anu bvuuiiv?u>ii6 vnv
tion of the senator and to make an- j
other observation or two. Of course
Senator Watson is not only "about
right" as the Daily Mail says, but he1
is entirely right.
And yet do you know that the tend-'
ency for several ysars has been more;
and more toward i big centralized1
government at Washington. And ev-J
?ry federal appropriation for any
state activity means eventually feder- j
al control, if it does not go right
along with it. There may not be
money enough or gold enough to buy'
the soul of the south but we are fast
turning over everything to federal
control. So far as the roads go when
the federal government spends any
amount, however small, that means
that the federal autonomies must nave
the work done just as they say, and,!
sometimes that is not bad when it
comes to road building, but some-j*
how we always like to have just a |
fittle to say about the things that we
are paying for. It may be all right
for the federal government to take *
over the roads. But the next step is j *
crnmo- tn Hp the schools and we iust ^
~ *"t~> ?
can not become reconciled to the fact *
that federal control of the schools is, ^
a good thing for any of the states, i
and we know it would be bad for the *
south. But the good old doctrine
of state sovereignty that we fought (
for and for which we debated is about *
dead so far as anything more than a 1
theory, and pity is that it is.
I r
One of the troubles is that our in-,v
tellectual and- material progress has i *
been too great, that is it has too far 1
exceeded our moral and spiritual development.
But we like to see a fel- ^
low like Senator Watson who has the,c
courage and ability up there to get 1
up and tell them in Washington oc-1
casionally all about the spirit of the c
south and how there is not enough!i
+
gold in the world to buy it. That,1
sounds good any way, and somewhat j1
like the patriotism of the good old *
days.

ALL APPROVE THIS TAX. |
i
\nderson Mail.
Well, the big fight is over and about
the only thing worth learning from1
the affair is that it is a pretty profi- j
table source of revenue for Uncle
Sam. The coffers of the national
treasury are to be enriched between
$750,000 and $1,000,000 from the
fracas. Our only regret about the
natter is that the federal tax isn't
inore. In fact, so far as we are con-!
jerned, we wouldn't care if the busi-'
ness of prize fighting was taxed out
}f existence altogether. There's no-'
ihing to it but a lot of low-browed, j
t>rutal horseplay. It doesn't deserve'
i;o be classed with sports.
But as a source of revenue for!
Uncle Sam the big flght is all right,:
since there are no scruples about:
tvhere his tax money comes from or

how it is earned. The Greenwood In-1'
dex-Journal has'figured out a scale of
profits that will accrue to both the
promoter and the fighters and the
amount of money the federal government
will likely extract from all who 1
are making money out of the event, j
r -11- - T- T mi-on o 1
The deductions 01 trie luucA-uuuumi
are as follows:
To begin with, the government in j
its announcement estimated that re- I
ceipts from the admission tax, if the
sale of seats (brought $1,600,000
? /\AA 1
would toe ?ibu,uuu. I
On the $300,000 which he is to re- ;
ceive Dempsey, without taking into !
consideration allowances for expens- i
es, etc., wotfld pay a normal income j
tax of $26,480 and a surtax of $137,- j
510, or a total income tax of $163,- i
990 Camentier. on the same basis,j:
would pay to the government from
his $200,000 end of the purse a normal
tax of $15,846 and a surtax of 1
$77,510, or,a total tax of $93,350.
Tex Rickard, the promoter, expects 1
to clear $300,000 in profits, it is re- j
ported, and' his income tax would be ;
the same as that paid by Dempsey, or
$163,990. j
tm ? ;*?rv>c rrivp a r.otal of
i ncsc luui ii/cxna ^ w ??
more than $581,000 payable ?b the '
government in taxes. It is probable
that the total of these items will be
somewhat lower, because of the j
amounts allowable to Dempsey and
Carpentier for expenses, which are
deductible from the taxable income j
before the *ax is romputed, but the
difference as a result of these deduc-'
tions is not expected to be very large. \
It is interesting to note that these'
i |
computations reauce me pi Vll I/O \JX |
Dempsey. after taxes are deducted, to
$136,010, while Carpentier's end of
the purse will dwindle to $106,650 after
the taxes are deducted. The $500,000
purse, therefore, is actually a
purse of $242,660, so far as the
fighters' profits are concerned, and
the government will get more than
* A A AAA
half of that original $ouv,uuu.
In figuring the^grand total which
the United States government is to j
receive as direct tax on earnings and |
profits made indirectly from the fight
many things are to be taken into consideration,
such as the transportation
taxes paid by those who journey ,
to the fight, profits by officials and :
others connected with the fight, vtc. |
If these taxes come up to expecia- i
tions, the government's share of the |
ight proceeds may well epproach P
51,000,000, it is believed.

SOME OF THE LIFE HISTORY s<

In order that, the farmers may more ; t

3 synopsis of its life history. jo

adult weevils that hibernate in the: f
fall survive the winter. These emerge I s
in the spring and go directly to the h
nearest cotton field and feed upon! I
the young tender plants. As soon as : v
squares begin to form the female pro-| y
zeeds to puncture them and deposits I
one or more eggs in each square ,
punctured. Each female deposits, on
an average about 140 squares. The I
egg will hatch in about 4 days, pro-: I
ducing the larva, me larva stage ;i
continues about 8 days then changes, jl
into the pupa. It continues in this j
stage for about 6 days longer and j
emerges out of the cotton square or,
boll a full grown worm. Thus you see I
that from egg to adult is only about!
21 days.
The adult weevils tnat survived tne 11
