Mrs. MacSwiney, or Miss MacSwiney,
we forget which, stated the other
day that the Irish freedom fight
is similar to the struggle of America
for freedom in 1776. America
did not attempt to get her freedom
by the indiscriminate murder of
British officers, and she did not carry
on any secret warfare, such as has
characterized recent Irish activities.
Neither did America have its Ulster,
opposed almost unanimously to separation
from the mother country.
Some of the same people who

nations covenant, because, they asserted
it smacked of international
entangling alliances, are now sitting
in "judgment" on the Irish question,
holding a so-called investigation,
the witnesses at which are all Irish
Catholics, so far as we can tell by the
published reports. They do not hesitate
to meddle with the internal affairs
of Great Britain, thus endangering
the relationship of Britain and
America, in regard to Irish freedom,
hut they look with holy horror on the
league of nations, because the league
seeks the cooperation of the nations
in settling international disputes.
The state government is asking
the next legislature for approximately
$10,000,000, a sum of money not
even heard of before for state governmental
purposes. This is an increase
of some three millons or more
over last year, when more than six
millions were appropriated. Such
talk is out of the question. We don't
believe the legislature will listen to
it for a moment. The people who
pay the bills in South Carolina are
expecting the next legislature to materially
reduce taxes instead of increasing
them. The purchasing power
of a dollar will be anywhere from
25 to 50 per cent, more next year
than it was in 1920, and yet they
are wanting a fifty per cent, increase
in the appropriations. The state,
like everybody else, has enjoyed a
tremendous orgy of spending, but
times have changed, and so has the
value of money, and appropriations
will certainly have to change with
them. A ten million dollar appropriation
will not be accepted by the
people of this state and the governmental
heads may as well revise
downward.
The taxes on the Herald Book
Store, as fixed by the state tax commission,
amount to $40.67 for the
state and county, and the city tax
will be about $25, a total on this little
establishment of more than $65.
We can only imagine what the real
merchants of Bamberg will have to
pay. The volume of business done
by the book store is very small, nec- j
essarily on account of the nature of j
. its business, and if such items as j
store rent *and lights were charged j
against, the store, we are quite posi-|
tive the profit left would be so small
that it would require an expert accountant
to figure it out. Yet this
store must pay $65 for the privilege
of doing business. If all the other
stores in Bambeiig pay taxes at this
rate we cannot see how the owners
manage to make a living. It is peculiarly
singular, anyway, that the
tax commission should have centered |
on the mercantile establishments to
save its face. While Bamberg's finest
farm lands, that can't be bought
for $100 an acre are still going on
the tax books at six or seven dollars
an acre, the stores are paying on 4 2
per cent, of their stocks. Are the
merchants any more prosnerous than j
anybody else? Why pick on the mer- |
chants?

Illusions.
"Strange," said the first tramp,
meditatively, "how few of our youthi
ful dreams ever come true!"
"Oh, I dunno," said his companion.

dream about wearin' long trousers,
and now I guess I wear 'em longer
than any one else in the country.''?

WHY THAT LAKE BACK?
That morning lameness ? those
sharp pains when bending or lifting,
make work a burden and rest impossible.
Don't be handicapped by a
bad back?look to your kidneys. You
will make no mistake by following
this Bamberg resident's example.
L. B. Fowler, contractor and builder,
Church St., says: "My kidney3
were weak and the secretions unnatural
and highly colored. My back
was as stiff as leather and so lame I
couldn't bend over. Doan's Kidney
Pills rid me of all this trouble and
fixed me up in A-l shape again."
