Governor Manning In his Iasi
message to the legislature came out
boldly and fully for adoption of the
amendment to the Federal Consti
A
tution in favor of prohibition. 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

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.

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.

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. They mea 1
what yoj spend in making you.*
money—dnterest. taxes paid; hire]
help, amount paid for goods sold,
seed, stock bought for feeding, rent
(except for your dwelling), etc. In
come includes about every dollar
you get. , .
Mr. Jonws will be In the other
counties of his territory for several
weeks, after this week, so it will he
some time before *he can he seen

GLAD TOJESTIFY
Says Watoft Lady, “A* Ta Wkat
Cardin Has Don Far Me, So
Aa To Help Others.”
Watoga.W. Va—Mrs. S. W. Glad well,
of this town, says: "When about 15 years
of age, I suffered greatly .... SomeUmes
would go a month or two, and I had
terrible headache, backache, and bearing-
down pains, and would just drag and
had no appetite. Then ... it would last
... two weeks, and was so weakening,
and my health was awful.
My mother bought me a bottle of
Cardui, and I began to improve aftgf
taking the first bottle. *> kept it up till I
took three . .. I gained, and was well
and strong, and I owe it all to Cardui.
I am married now and hayt 3 children
.. Have never had to have a doctor lor
female trouble, and just resort to Cardui
if I need a tonic. 1 am glad to testify to
what it has done for me, so as to help
others.” /
If you arc nervous or weak, have head
aches, backaches, or any of the other
TIT A f'UWQ A XTl\ ailment* so common to women, why not
Ai\D give Cardui a trial? Recommended by
