Gov ernoV Manning has not heretofore been an outspoken advocate of pro hibition. being in favor of local op tlon, but, like former President Roosevelt, he seems to have had his eves opened to the great good of abolishing the legalized sale o, the stuff. If good for a State it should he good for a nation, and certainly the -great majority of the people of the I’nited States, and of the world, have expressed them selves in favor, of total prohibition. We trust fhe legislature will aridpt Governor Manning’s Suggestion and hasten to rote for the ratification of the amendment. ■ We commend Governor Manning for his stand. / M»IK FINE HOGS The report recently published bv County Agent F W. Kisher is one of whirh he should feel proud, and one at which the county «t large The news that several thousand dollars worth of fine hoVs have been pt|*chased for the use of Col leton cn inly farmers in establish ing herds of pure bred bogs, is real good news for the future of th' county. Nowhere in the country does the climate and the conditions suit better for raising hogs than Id this county/ and we |are glad to note , that some of pur young men are taking advantage of what nat ural conditions they have to im prove theirj herds, pnd pr.opogate fine breeds of hoes. As a money making proposition we doubt if these young men could Stait out in anv industry which Witt bring them more sure and safe re turns. There is a great demand for pure bred hogs, and there will he for many years to come. Start ing their herds with such fine stock, good prices can he obtained, and the stock of the county greatly im proved. The day of the razor-hack is numbered. Colleton (will have fine hogs. 4CDGK MENDEL L. SMITH The Press and Standard in pub- liahing la thia ' issue 4 summary of the report Vnade by C L. Vann, public accountant, who wan em ployed by the Grand Jury to make n detailed investigation of the hooks and affairs of the county for the pant ten yearn. Some of the things found by Mr. Vann, and contained •0* la this report are of moat startling nature, and, if they are true. pUe~ some of the county officials in nor thing hot an enviable light. The Press and Standard is not under writing any statement made by Mr. 'Vann, but la publishing them only as news to which our readers are entitled. We would ask those who read thin report not to Jump at con clusions and he hpaty to condemn. Wait to form an opinion till you hear the other aide. We know the men who hare been criticized bv Mr. Vann, and have favored them time and time again with our suf frage. They have borne the best reputations in our county, and we shall find it hard to believe th^i they have been guilty of^any wrong doing. We trust they will be abb* to show that no wrong has been done, and we cannot but feel that some grievous error has been com mitted, and that after all there will *■* a ' be a full and clear vindication. Comptroller General Sawyer will send, one of his best men here to go* over this matter, and his findings will be awaited with great interest. Meanwhile let us all suspend our judgment and criticism. e. eTjones r ~ HERE THIS WEEK f Ready t<> Amdst Per-Min*. in ThK County to Make Correct Return^. In a cpnimunicatinn received by this paper D. C. Heyward, .Collector of Internal Rev^jlie, Columbia, an nounces that K. E. Jones, the fed eral income tax officer for this county, will be here from Jan. '14th until Jan. 19th, at the office of the county treasurer. He will be wijl ing to help persons subject to the income tax ’make out their returns without any r<ist to them for his services. Returns of income for the year 1917 must be‘made on forms pro vided for the purpose before March Ut, 1919. Recause a good manv people do not understand, the law, will not know How to make out their returns, the government i.< sending this expert to do it for them. Rut the duty is on the ta* paver to mxkv himself known to he gm-ej-fiment. Tf a person does not mak-* -return on or before March 1st. 191X, penalties as pro Mded by law will Ik* incurred. If you are not sure About being suh Ject to the tax you* had better se > the income tax man while he is here, and make sure. Whether you see the Income tax man or not you must make return if subject to th»* tax. Persons resident in other coun ties may, if they want to. conn* an 1 see the income tax man who will be here. D. C. Heyward, Collector of In terna! Revenue, suggests that ev erybody start figuring up at once his income and expenses so as *0 be ready with the figures when tho expert arrives. Expenses, howeve-, do not mean family expenses, mon ey used to pay .off the principal of a debt, new' machinery, buildings, or anything like that.
