•'V EVEN A LITTLE. OPERA ON THE AIR. ! 3 TO THE ELECTRIC CHAIR. RELIGIOUS TAX. Calles, Mexican President, ac cused Catholic bishops of ordexinc Mexican uprisings that JdUed seventy-five protesting Catholics and twenty-four Mexican soldiers. He accuses the bishops of urging the faithful to march against the Government under a banner in-; scribed “Long Live Christ, the King.” That banner has traveled a long’ way in the past and won many fights. \ Young gentlemen, it pays to sav;. Even a little may be worth while. Mr. Couzene, asked to pay nine million dollars more income tax, had saved $900 when he met Ford, ^at gave him his chance. By and f y he sold his interest to Ford for thirty million dollars. If he hadn’t raved the nine hundred dollars, he cnuld not have the Government ruing him for nine million dollars. Moral: Save something, if saly a little. ~ ' The Chicago Civic Opera Com pany will broadcast its entire per formance, an enlightened, public- rpirited course. The Mt/. .wpotttan Qperm In New York will do likewise some day and profit . y it Artists making talk ing machine records know that publicity is valuable. Meanwhile Mr. Kahn and his aa- sodates in New York’s Metro politan Opera will make a good start in their new opera house building, providing excellent seats at reasonable prices, from which the opera will be seen and heard, as good for seeing and hearing aa those built for the exhibition of pearls and diamonds. Governor Smith, of New York, is now a candidate for the Democratic nomination in 1928. He Intimated it 5emi-humorously in e recent ad dress.

Dispatches from Boston describe triple judicial killing in Charles town State Prison, just after mid night yesterday. Three young men passed from the electirc chair to another destination for dubbing, an cM night watchman to death. Edward H. Heinlein was first to go. As he walked to the electric chair, repeating the words of g| prayer by the Reverend Father Michael J. Murphy, gruat crowds gathered outside, automobile horns were booming, photographers’ flashlights lighted up the crowd. And at the rear exit from the pri son another crowd was waiting to see the three bodies carried out. A special police force was obliged to fight the deeply interested crowd. Crowds that howled around the French guillotine, oje that tilted up their gin bottles as they shouted encouragement to murderers on the British gallows, were not entirely different from human beings of to day. Authorities in Braunschweig province learn that when religion involves extra taxes many Germans get along without religion. ' - Registering as the member of any church in Germany, you must pay taxes to the State, and the money then goes to the churches. Braunschweig has been obliged to employ additional clerks to register those that wish to be put down as “without religious faith.” Dentists warn women that exces sive smoking brings on “Vincent’s Disease” also called “Trench mouth.” This disease which at tacked soldiers that had nothing to do but smoke, while- waiting in the trendies, is painful, attacks the tis sues, destroys the gums, causes bleeding. However, if women want to smoke dentists won’t stop them. This writer tried it in vein, twenty- . five years ago, by warning women that smoking makes their noeee red, and makes their moustaches grow. Still they wouldn’t stop. v Load mini personal News of BUckvilW Jam 22.—MQlSlt,|pbwton Heckle, of FlnopoUs, wa* the guest parents, Mr. and Mrs. John C. rs, Sr., last week.

McNAB m UALTH AND ACCIDSNT INSURANCE COMPANU8, given nil UGHT RATES REDUCED a - Effective January 1, 1927 Light Rates in all towns served by Hydro-electric lines of the Edisto Public Service Company will be reduced one cent per kilowatt. Jbi* reduction is consistent with bur policy of reducing rates as rapidly as cost of operation can be reduced, — this being the third volun tary reduction of rates within the past twelve months. We expect to be able to announce a further reduction in all rates within the next few In order to make possibe these reductions in rates it is necessary that we insist upon bills for service being paid promptly when due. When you fail to pay your bill for electric service yon not only make it hard on the company serving you, but you make it doubly hard by preventing rates being reduced as rapidly as they could be if these bills were paid. Most of the bills are compartive- ly small and by paying them aa they come due it will not work a hardship on any one. EDISTO PUBLIC SERVICE COMPANY DENMARK, - - - SOUTH CAROUNA m
