Hut we believe that il is liol only proper and wise, hut tin hoi::idcn duly of the Anti-Saloon league lo brim; Hie i: Mle of state wide prohibition to Hie forefront u> ii asl to see lo it i hat it is not ignored. What we are saying may not lie need ed hy thi: organization. Let this be known we are not criticising the An ti K.iediU '.i'-j i.i :, "ts nurse of LS lence al Hus time is perhaps the cuiirac it '. LIS to IM the wi.-est For prohibition. Or. perhap? it ?ces no danger in the present situation to the ea ure it represents. WP certainly have Hie highest regard for the men who guhlc the league in thia rtute. Hut we believe that (hey and all temperance wot kera need to be arous ed. State-wide prohibition is at il crisis. If its friend? ?lo not crowd ll to the front no one sise will render this r.ervlce. If it ls to reach its dorl inst ion in South Carolina it will not do so Fitting on a side-track. We feel that we must speak. There ure three main issues before Hie people In this campaign, law en forcement, compulsory education and state-wide prohibition. There ir no possible antagonism between law enforcement and state wide prohibition. We feel that lt can he demonstrated that those who want Hie one cannot afford to be ayainst tho ell.er. It might also bc thought that com pulrory education and state-wide pro hibition, arc reforms that can go to gether, and Hint there can be no an tagonism between them. We suppose that lt ia true that those candidates who favor compulsory education would not oppose state-wide prohibi tion. We do not question their mo tives. Hut what we do affirm is that these two reformp cannot come together in South Carolina unless ? tatewlde prohibition is placed first and settled Hrrt. If the present ef fort to force compulsory education to the front succeeds it will postpone : tatc-widc prohibition for years to come and will certainly tend to in crease our wet territory. Cur reason for saying this is not becauso there is any essential antag onism between compulsory education and stutc-wlde prohibition. On the contrary whatever helps our educa tive work will ultimately rcdown to the furtherance of temperance. The trouble lr to be found In tho fact that our present dispensary laws turn thc profits of whiskey selling in South Carolina very largely to the swelling of the school fund. Compulso'y education, what vor else lt may or may not do. will certainly do those two thing? : (1) It will in crease our present school tux and (2) 't .will, enlarge the burdon rcr thc white than is now bearing for the education ol the children of negroes. We arc not saying that either or both of these things ought not to he done. This paper does npt fight negro edu cation. Dut wc a,sk that these facts be dully considered in their relation to t-late-wide prohibition. Almost every county in South Car olina where tb.e dispensary - exists wont wet by the use of two argu ments, which were, CD "We need the school money which thc dispensaries turnlrh/' and, (2), "Practically thc only way wc can get any money from thc negroes for public, purposes is through thc dispensaries; they pat ronize them and the profits go to pay ing for their schools." We have no sympathy with these arguments. Bui every temperance worker in thc state knows what tre mendous ure was made af them Now what we ask prohibitionists tc do ls to consider what the effect will he if the school tax is greatly in creased and thc burden for negro edu. cation is enlarged. In other wordt we ask what will be thc effect of com pulsory education, whJclj, will, cor tain}? do there two things on state wide prohibition? We believe tnaf ij compulsory education comes now, un 1er our present; conditions, a furthei extension of our tempor?neo laws ant Lemperanco territory will be gr,catt] embarrassed and made almost tmpos Jible. Much of our di y territory wll be endangered ami those dry conn tie: that adjoin dispensary counties wit bo put in an almost hop-doss baltic There never was a state that was s< poorly prepared to try compulsory ^duration as South Carolina is today W.o are npt fighting, compulsory education.

THE STATE TAXES ARE EXPLAINED Comptroller General Jones Now Makes Financial Statement aa to. Conditions (Political Advertisement.) Sdltor >of The Intelligencer. I ?rm Impelled to make the race for *e-electlon to the office of t'omptrol ler General because of my continued, ntcrest tn the fight for tax reform, ind honest and economical exp.endl ures of public moneys. I say eco logical, because the legislature must eave a great deal to the discretion of public offleer-B and a close scrutiny -of heir accounts is necessary to discov ;r any wasteful extravagance which nay creep into the handling of the molle fundr.. In many Instance.!. lt n easier to spend money which cdmes rom the pockets of others, than from ,-our own individual exertion. When he legislature has placed an expense uncl at thc dispos?! of au officer the ;xpeascr. arc apt to bc larger than if hey had to bc paid out of his salary, ?"or these reasons, it is necessary to mve a comptroller general who will ook into and check over or audit the iccounts of public officiais and call ittentlon to any expenditures which lo not come within the plain meali ng of the legislative appropriation. If course the people hold.an officer tiredly responsible who extravagant y expends the money which they dace at his dir posai. If they dis ?ovcr that it has been so expended .hey can show their disapproval by refusing to continue him tn office, mt it is like locking the stable door ifter the horse ls gone, for the money las been expended, and in the niajor ty of cases, there would be no chance o get lt back Into thc state treasury, is it would cost almost as much us lt s worth in the expense of litigation o recover lt. This ls what I mean when I say hat public office ls. a public trust, and f trustee." were never held to an ac -ountlng for the ,\ moneys passing heir hands, their position would cer ainly be delightful. It reminds me of the old story of ??roach rent for hts son and told him ie had made his will, leaving him all if his estate and appointing a law rer friend executor to manage it for lim and asking if ho had any sug gestions lo make as lo change?. The son promtply replied "Only one. eave your mo-toy to your lawyer, and nake me executor." If the accounts of trustees are not crutlnized and examined closely and -ontinuously, thc moneys in their lands are apt to be wasted and the Elegant Serving i Tirays Glass bottom-Weather ed Oak, Circassian $2.50 to $.5.00 Marchfeanks & ?abb North Halm Street Jewelers, Convenience Efficiency Durability These ure thc points you consider when selecting a Typewriter.

CRAYTON & CO., Charlotte, N. C. Agents. ?e?x Stationery Co., Local Agents. p?u ly in Interest gets nothing but an iionorublc mention. It hat; frequently been told me by public officials that if. was? unnceea sary to inquire whether or not 'he expenditures made by them were such ns were authorized by the legislature, as they would be acottntable to the legislature when they came before it. It is certainly not a pleasure to have to criticise the accounts of broth er o nie eis, but lt is a duty imposed upon the office of the Comptroller General, and le necessary to an evo nomlcal conduct of public agars, that public accounts be thoroughly check ed and all items unauthorized by law he pointed out when bills are present ed for payment. The publicity given to public uffairs by this scrutiny acts ns a strong deterrent to extravagance and wasteful expenditures of public moneys. In this alone, I am satis tied that thousands of dollars huve been saved to the state during the time I have been entrusted with the ofllce of the Comptroller General. As a member of the sinking fund commission, having charge of the ac cumulated assets of the state and their us.e for the public benellt, I have endeavored to prevent the reckless loaning of these assets, other than upon State bonds, so that the State property be cared for and preserved in the most economical way. It was for this reason that I approv ed thc policy of the State's insuring its own property and gradually ac cumulating a sufficient reverse fund to avoid the payment of future pre miums until losses should occur ren dering further premiums necessary to make gOQd the losses. On thia Item of State insurance dur ing the time I have been Comptroller General, the State has saved and ac cumulated over ?IOO.?OO in profus when, carrying only from 10 per ccn.t. to 30 per cent, of the amount of in surance op State property. Under the Act of 1914, providing that the sinking fund insurance shall carry the entire insurance on State property and re-insure 60 per cent, thereof in responsible Old Line Com panies, the sinking fund commission has been enabled to save ?more thar $7000 on the Insurance now in force without any additional risk ' to that heretofore carried by it. The rc-ln surance of 60 per cent of the Insura ble value of State property heretofore carried by other companies oo orig! nal policies, effected a saving o about 30 per cent on the amount patt for premiums oo such insurance. It ls natural that a few Insuianc agents, who, under the old system were receiving this 30 per cent, a: profit for themselves andi their com panics, should complain of this poli cy, but lt is inconceivable that an; well informed taxpayer, seeking th economical administration of publi affairs, should object to it. If re-elected, I win continue my cl forts for the enforcement of the ta laws and the advocacy of such, r< forms as afc necessary to secure th equitable assesemeu,t of all propert for taxation, and to prevent thc et capo from taxation oj-the rich an well to do. I mention this latte class, simply because it ls harder fe them to return their property for la; ation at its true value than for a poe man whose taxes do not amount to s many figures when lt comes to paj mcnt. While a man might consol himself-at the size of bte tax?s I thc thought that he has been bless* with more property on which to pa he ls apt to forget the amount of bei eut and prosperity pe has enjoyed b cause ot his objections to dlmlnishic his accumulations in the slghtest d< gree. The question of tax reform is one i thc most vital importance to , tl whole community, und when tho p< pie have become thoroughly awaken? to. the Inequalities existing and tl lops to. the masses on account i them, they will demand, that their re rcsentattvc8 in the legislature find remedy for the existing evils. The failure to obtain these refont has been largely due to a lack of a pi eclat ion of the exemptions enjoy by others; and a false feeling that long as the direct taxes are not i creased they do not care how mu more their neighbor escapes Pitying i* can never expect a perfect sj tens of equality in taxation, bnt the 1 cquAlttlea now existing can bo gm ly reduced and the public b?rde more equitably distributed.
