B. F. McLeod of Charleston wrote a letter to Governor Cooper on the subject. Mr. McLeod claims that between 400 and BOO persons voted in the election on poll tax receipts which, he charges, were dated back by the county treasurer i?~ order that the voters would apparently conform to the law. These pre-dated poll tax receipts bore the seven cents penalty, which did not go into effect until May 15, according to the letter, and thereby show, he says, that the holders of such receipts paid their tax after the date * i i i j it..* ior paying naa expirca ana mat, wi?y Were dated back to March 15, in most cases, by the county treasurer. Mr. McLeod furnished the information to the governor and the chief executive turned the letter, together with a number of affidavits regarding improper voting, over to the comptroller general for investigation. Walter E. Duncan, comptroller general, said yesterday that he would go to Charleston Monday to investigate personally the county treasurer's office in reference to the alleged pre-dating of poll tax receipts and any other irregularity in connection with the .voting in the special election. Mr. Duncan will probably be ac<*>mpanied by a corps of expert auditors and after the investigation will report to ? the governor. The chief executive wiil then determine what step he will take in the matter, if the criarges by Mr. McLeod are sustained by the comptroller general's investigation. Affidavits from managers of elections furnishing names and addresses of persons who voted on the poll tax receipts that were dated March J.&, but had the seven cents penalty, and many having "March 15" stamped over other dates, according to the letter of Mr. McLead, were also sent T&g > Am U*.i ulaind that several hundred voters procured poll tax receipts after the comptroller general had checked the books of the county treasurer, this being August 5. Mr. McLeod is said to have opposed the purchase of the terminals by the city and the difference of the 400 or 500 votes might materially effect the result of the election, which carried for the purchase of the terminals and the issuance of the bonds. The supreme court has ruled several times that no person is qualified to vote in any election whatever prior to six months after December 31, when taxes are supposed to have been paid unless he can show that all taxes, including poll, have been paid on or before December 31. In the recent I Chester annexation case the court declared the election void because a number of persons not paying theit ? -" i/v r\nn/imKnV 1 poll IUA \J I lUi vw UCtWIIIUV. A VA IIHV been allowed to vote. The court opinion speaks of "six months after December 31 had been allowed to vote The court orvnion speaks of "si? months after December 31" and it if not known what effect the voting in November, more than six months after December 31, would have when taxes are paid after the date prescribed by law.?The State. # m i - Cold Wave is Coming Washington, Nov. 19.?A colc wave is predicted for the South Sun day.

The American delegation stands ready to dispute stubbornly any material change from the ratio set forth Q] in the American plan. That ratio it 0 was emphasized by highest authorities today reflects existing proportional ^ strength and so can not be altered 'a without upsetting a fundamental principle of the whole plan. In effect, the American figures ^ would give Japan six fighting ships to j every ten owned by the United States Q and every ten owned by Great Britain. The Japanese have hinted but never IV formally announced,. that they want ^ seven to ten. The naval experts of the United States really believe that live to ten is nearer the proper allotmnt. Great Britain has accepted the ^ six to ten plan in principle, but her ^ spokesmen have been silent about the new Japanese proposals. p If it turns out that the "slightly greater" naval force suggested for ? Japan by Admiral Baron Kato only C( amounts to the addition of one battle cruiser to the Japanese figures then emphatic objections of the American ^ delegates may not be deemed neces- . sary. But if the suggestions comprehends a real change in proportion it . is declared on authority that a determined diplomatic struggle will result. The clear delineation of the Ameri- * can position on this subject served s' to turn attention again to naval armaments today while the Far Eastern negotiations were at a standstill to permit the powers to work out details of their policy. Neither the conference nor any ?of its committee met during the day but the nine delega- s tions will assemble tomorrow in ex- 8 ecutive sessions to resume their discussions of the Far East. Coincident with the . disclosure of the American view point on naval reduction it was revealed today that c the administration does not propose jt there is one, to the nations repre- t sented in the Washington conference, f Whether a treaty or simply an understanding would come out of the nego- ? tiations administration officials would not predict, but it was said that whatever the form of agreement the other interesed nations would be asked to participate. Should no treaty requiring senate confirmation result, it was said to be the belief of the administration that < 1 the whole armament reduction pro- j gram could be put through without 1 congressional action. International j "understanding" of policy does not require the apprval of congress and officials say the proposed scrapping ' of warships could be accomplished un' der general authority already pos- t 1 sessed by the executive. ^ 1 Delegates Prepare to !

They had put aside all Noughts of armaments because they I'alized that armaments did not pay. Thev realized, however, that some rung that would pay was the appliution of the science which they had earned before the war and which (iey would have applied in peace if (icy had not been interfered with by small military party. Now they were determined to be rce from interference of the military arty. The output of scientific books ad become enormous. All classes of ieople were working hard, and unmploynient hardly existed. They had 110 money except paper, which had badly depreciated, and to estore their normal condition they tad found work by taking in other copies washing. He said he saw a urge number of ships from Tyneside eing repaired in German dockyards ecause German dockyards could do he work cheaper than the British, workers.

Responding to an urgent appeal from Herbert Hoover that Southern Baptists aid in the relief of Russia by furnishing food and clothing to the suffering Baptists of that country. Dr. J. F. I ?ovo, secretary of the Foreign Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention, announces that board has set in motion machinery that he hopes will result in the provision of a shipload of clothing for the suffering Russian Baptists within the next few weeks, by the local chur*?hes of '.he South. The American relief administration will transport the clothing without cost and will furnish food from its supplies at actual cost. It has been impossible heretofore for the Baptists of America to got into intimate contact with their spiritual kinsmen of Russia, of whom there were 1,000,000 at the outset of the war, hut the decision of Southern Baptists to enter Russia as a mission field has heightened the1 interest of the local churches of this section in the welfare of all the Russian people. Last winter Southern Baptists sent $100,000 worth of clothing and a similar amount in cash to the suffering families of Hungary, a new mission field, and inasmuch as the number of people affected and the intensity of the suffering are much greater in Russia than they c cor were in Hungary and other countries of Central Europe, Secretary Love hopes the response of Southern Baptists to tin appeal of Russia will be correspond ingly larger. Due to the agreement at the outsei of the 75 Million Campaign that m special collections would be conducte< during the life of the campaign foi objects not included therein, the For eign Mission Board will not make ai appeal for cash for relief work, but i1 individuals and churches desire 01 their own volition to make cash offerings the board will gladly receive tin funds and purchase food supplies fo starving Russians through the Amer ican Relief Administration. Mr Hoover's agents say $15 will save th life of a Russian child from now unti the fall of 1U22. Directions for assembling and for warding the clothing that is asked fo Russia will be issued by Dr. Ix>v through the regular denominationa channels. Thanksgiving Exercises Thanksgiving exercises will be hel i at Colerain school Wednesday evet . ing, November '23, beginning prompi i ly at 7:30.
