s - We may not understand all Uie
ins and outs of the Irish question, '
-uui one tning is clear to as, and *
that is there is a very considers-1
Jjle. number of Irishmen who are !
more concerned about having'
their own way than about the '
good of the country. There is j
100 much division in Ireland. One j
side or the other must be wrong,!
and it is beginning to look ^s if
neither Side may be wholly right.
A scientist in the Smithsonian (
institution at Washington has v
figured that the use of power and j
machinery gives to every man. .
woman and child in this country
the equivalent of 30 slaves. In
other words, he says, take away,
all our machinery and steam and
electric power and it would require
three billion hard working
slaves to duplicate the work done
by Americans today with the use
of these modern inventions. Why
envy the nobleman back in ancient
Egypt or Bagdad with 30 (
slaves toiling for himf He had (
his slaves bring him fish from the
ocean aud bird tongues from the ,
mountains. Today with a few
dimes we can get a can of shrimp
brought from Japan, a package
dates from Syria, a bair of nuts
from Brazil, a can of .sardines .
from Norway. Your slaves?ma- , I

The French government offeree!
to sell Henry Ford some obsolete A
battleships, thinking the great
manufacturer might be able to
scrap the vessels and use the steel
in his business. Mr. Ford replied
that he did not care for a single t
battleship, but that he might buy
the whole French navy if it were |
for sal?.? That was a good news |
story and every newspaper in the ,
country played it up. Henry Ford (
is the shrewdest advertiser in the |
world as he is one of the shrewd- ,
. est business men. ' J
A North Carolina woman took 1
her savings from a bank and hid
the money in her home. Wicked 1

night she was attacked and robbed
and beaten almost to death. !
uauks fail sometimes, it in true, :
but the failures are few and the
depositors seldom lose their inon^

on one's person.or in one's home. |
The only safe and sane rule is to
keep your money in a bank.

Veterans Interested in Bonus.
- World war veterans in the Fort
Mill community are watching the
progress of the proposed bonus
legislation now being considered
by a committee of Congress.
Should the bonus bill which it is
thought will be introduced in the
house of representatives within^
the next few days be enacted into
low probably as many as 200 ex*
service men who live in the town
of Fort Mill, the township outside
the town and the upper section
, , of Lancaster county will be benecieiaries
of the bonus to the exten,
it is estimated, of something
like $80,0W}. .if the amount of
compensation allowed the men is
*S per day for the time they were
in the service as has been propos- I
? od. All the Fort Mill men who
wereVoverseas with Company G,
y 118th infantry, were in the service
dearly two years as were other

less thaq a score of negro exservice

house of representatives last v/eek
was' the passage Friday of the
ocalled luxury mil, designed to
raise something tike h million dollars
a year for the State treasury
from the sale of article* on which
property tax only has heretofore
/been 'paid. The total income
of .revenue the bill will
produce, however, should it pass
the senate in its present form and
then be approved by the governor,
is speculative. Nobody, "hot
even the federal collector of internal
revenue, Mr. Bradley, who
was called in for consultation by
the committee which reported the
bill, could .do more than guess
liow much money it would briug
in. If no material chunges are
made in the bill and it is enforced
with a. degree of strictness whieh 1
marked the enforcement of tl)e
national luxuries law, one is safe
in concluding that it will have a
decided effect upon tho old system
of raising practically all the

real property. Oil a motion in the
house Thursday night to continue
the bill, which meant to kill it,
the opponents of the measure lost;
hut when the bill was agaiu taken
up Friday morning the steam ,
roller which the ways and means
committee had used so successfully
the night before had fallen
into the hands of the opposition
and they did some effective steam
rollering 011 their own account by
inserting in the bill the following!
additional articles on which it is j
proposed to collect the luxury
tax : Candy, costing more than 50
cents a pound. 5 cents per pound;
playing cards or dice, 5 cents for
each deck or set; perfumes, cologne
or toilet water. 5 cents for
each sale; chewing gum. 1 cent
per package. The original bid
provided for a luxury tax only on
chewing tobacco, cigars, cigarettes.
smoking tobacco, snuff, gun
shells, pistol cartridges, fruit juices
used in the manufacture of
soft drinks, ami fountain syrups.
The most turbulent sessions of
the ways and means committee of
recent years in preparing the ap-1
propriation bill ended late Friday i
night with the final touches being
given that important measure. In
die last half dozen years the mem.
bership of the committee has
been increased until today its 1
number goes beyond one-fourth
the entire house .membership of
124. The committee has therefore
become unwieldy. More than a
million dolars of the amount recommended
by the governor has
been lopped off the appropriation
bill for the current year, but
whether the lopping has been
ione at places which both the
bouse ami senate will agree was
wise remains to be seen. Rut if
the bill should he adopted as it
will be reported to the house, the
levy for State purposes will be
reduced about 2i-2 mills, without

The only ex-governor of South
Carolina who has not visited the
house thus far during the session
is John C. Sheppard. Ex-Gov.
'Martin F. Ansel was observed on
the floor a few days ago, follow*
ing visits Of John Gary Evans,
Duncan C. Heyward, Cole L.
Blease and Richard I. Manning,
former chief executives. Whether
n-.tk- was anything more behind
the visits of these gentleinfeii to
the house than a desire to observe
the proceedings of the body
is not generally known; but it is
known that already there is a
great deal of talk going around
iu legislative circles about the
race for the governorship next
summer and it may be that with
the exception of Mr. Blease, who
is au avowed candidate for another
term in the office, the others
ex-governors were speaking a
irood word for this or that citizen
who has been suggested as the
immediate successor of Governor
Cooper.
Does York county need a "boll
weevil expert," to be employed
at a salary of $1,500 as the county
'? part, against the present salsalary
of $500 which the county
contributes toward the employment
of the farm demonstration
agent? Certain Rock Hill citizens
answer in the affirmative and the
si.me citizens have applied to the
county legislative delegation to
provide the money to employ the
"expert." The request will be
aeted upon during the week.
Meanwhile, however, other York
county citizens have urged the
delegation to dispense with the
demonstration agent and to refuse
to employ a boll weevil man.
J. .S Wanuamaker of St. Matthews,
president of the American
Cotton association, painted in a
speech he made in the senate
chamber a few days ago a duncolored
picture of conditions in
"several States of the Northwest
which he hail recetly visited.
"Everybody knows," said Mr.
Wanuamaker, ".that .South Carolina
is in none 'too good shape,
but if conditions are bad here
they are several times worse in
the Northwest. Out there public
schools anil colleges are being
closed because the people have
nothing with which to pay their
taxes." Mr. Waiviainukcr is understood
to have expressed the
opinion thut the Republican party
is in for a sever? flogging in
the State and congressional elections
next fall.
Further evidence of the desife
of the York county officials to connemte
with ihr- enmitv'a
tive delegation in keeping down
the tax levy, to which reference
was made in the editorial column^
of The Times a few weeks ago,
was noted last week when Treasurer

went to* Colombia to assist the
delegation in rearranging the
proposed expenditures for the
year on a which would proelude
the necessity of asking the
people \o pay more taxes for the
county government- For several
yean the levy for county purposes
has been 6 mills. Recently
requests for ^-additional expenditures
for roads and bridges indicated
that it might be necessary
to increase the levv for 1922, but
it can now be* slated definitely
that Ihere will be no increase. On
the contrary, if tne proposed tax
of 2 cents per gallon on gasoline,
1 cent of which would go to the
county and the other cent to the
State, is collected there will be
an additional amount for the upkeep
of the county^ roads without
i corresponding increase in the
county levy.

Says About Rat Poison.
"Tried preparations to kill rats
but HAT-SNAP is th^ only one
that prevents disagreeable odors
after killing. Also like RATSNAP
because it comes in handy

You don't have to diVty your
