In the volumes of comment writ ten about the Harvard degree con ferred on Mr. Smith an outstanding feature is that which relates i,he fact that he never attended college and was never a student of litera ture. Mr. Smith admits that his only diploma was that which he gained in his studies in and abour, the Fulton Fish Market. After ail, why should honorary college de grees be conferred only upon col lege and professional men and men cf letters? Why should not colleges and uni versities, in the selection of men for these degrees, be guided by the course the nations have followed in the election of their great men to high official position?

Residents of Spartanburg will be interested in the announcement that theVBlack Bear Trail is paved all the way from Quebec, Canada, to Miami, Florida. On July 14-15 the completion of this great high way will be celebrated at Galax, Va., and Linville, N. C. On the evening of July 14 a banquet at tended by governors along the route and representatives of cities streams for irrigating gardens and ^ wo pieces, the piece with the t ruC k I head ran into a hole while the tail Recondition dusting machinery P arfc J ust wiggled around. This part ‘ he took up and then returned to look for the other part. After some time spent in hunting he located It but had to resort to a shovel to dig it out. Of course he lost no time in dispatching this part as the head was attached and he didn’t want to run any risk of a snake bite. This snake is different looking from any we have ever seen. The whole body looks like a series of joints. Mr. Ev ans says he has heard of the “joint ed snake,” as a good many of us have, but had never believed the story, as none of the rest of us did, but we all believe he has captured a “jointed snake” and to be sure he will be held at Galax. On July 15 hag sent sna | ce ^he univers- the celebration will be shifted to Linville in honor of Hugh McRae, ity to have the “snake professor” rule on the matter.

Caleb is one of the most attractive of th? minor char acters of the Bihle. As a vigorous man of forty, he left the wilderness at Kadesh-harnea as one of the spies on that famous scouting expedition into the promised land of Cana an. He and Joshua were the only ones to bring home a fav orable report. The other ten were sure that the land conld not be successfully occupied, that the obstacles were too gr?at. But as so often happens, time proved that the minority were right. And it is pleasant to note that Caleb and Joshua lived long enough to personally participate in the occupa tion of that golden land they had so courageously and ac curately praised. In fact, they alone of die twelve spies were permitted lo share in its colonization. The lesson presents Caleb as a hale, hearty veteran of eighty-five, appealing to Joshua for the inheritance prom ised long since by Moses, The land was divided by lot. But before ihe division took place, Caleb asked for special consideration in view of the hazardous journey of explora tion he had taken as a young man, and the subsequent pledge of Moses. His unfaithful colleagues had perished in the wilderness, but he himself had been preserved with eye undimmed and strength unabated. Did he not, as a true, loyal champion of God’s truth, deserve a peculiar reward? Yes, he did. He who had “wholly followed the Lord, 9 * as Moses testified, deserved the blessing of his friend and co-worker, Joshua, and the gift of Hebron, that ancient city so filled with memories of Abraham. Located in a moun tainous region, in a basin on a lofty point on the ridge of Judaea, it offered only a meagre living at the expense of ex hausting work in stony soil. But Caleb was made of stern stuff. Like a good soldier he craved hardness. We leave him at Hebron, a grand old figure, beginning life anew, in the face of difficulty, with all the ardor of youth. And we rejoice that the promise of God to Moses that Caleh and his descendants should own the land he had explored, was so admirably fulfilled.

Acting Collector Wannamaker, has received the following informa-, tion from the bureau of internal i revenue, which the bureau thinks J important for every dealer in wine, or beer to read carefully: “There appears to be consider able misunderstanding upon the part of dealers in malt liquors, wines and fermented fruit juices as to their liability for special tax in connection with the sale of their product. In order to remove any misunderstanding in regard to the matter, the following statement is submitted: “Purchasers of special tax stamps, at the rate of $20 per year, 1 bearing the title “retail dealer in fermented liquors,” may legally en- | gage only in the sale in less quanti ties than five gallons at one time, of fermented (malt) liquors of 3.2 per cent alcoholic content by weight. “Every person who sells or offers for sale fermented malt liquors in quantities of not less than five gal lons at one time, but who does not deal in wines and fermented fruit juices, is considered a wholesale dealer in malt liquor and, as such, is required to purchase a special tax stamp at the rate of $50 per year. “Purchasers of special tax stamps, at the cate of $25 pec year, bearing the title “retail liquor deal er” may engage not only in the sale of fermented (malt) liquors but al so in the sale of 3.2 per cent wines and fermented fruit juices, in less quantities than five gallons at on& time, without incurring additional liability. “A wholesale liquor dealer shall pay $100 per year. Such dealers may not only sell wines and fer mented fruit juices containing not more than 3.2 per cent of alcohol by weight, but may likewise sell fer mented malt liquors of like alcoh olic strength in quantities of not less than five gallons at one time, without incurring additional spec- ial.tax liability. “A qualified wholesale dealer in malt liquor and a qualified whole sale liquor dealer can not sell in quantities of less than five gallons without incurring liability as a re tail dealer, nor can a qualified re tail dealer in malt liquor, or a qual ified retail liquor dealer, sell in quantities of five gallons or more at one time, without incurring liabil ity for special tax as a wholesale dealer. “Special taxes are payable on a fiscal year basis beginning July 1 of each year, and every dealer in malt liquors or wines and ferment ed fruit juices is required to pur chase a new special tax stamp ef fective July 1, 1933. The purchase of a special tax stamp as retail or wholesale dealer in malt liquors or wines and fermented fruit juices does not authorize the purchaser thereof to transact such business in conflict with state laws ,or author ize the sale of spirituous liqu.Qfq for beverage purposes.”
