We arc evidently in the "gjip" of anotlret cold spell. ^
Carra&xa announces that i he will punish the bandits who slew
Americana. He'll, have to catch them first
A woman in Illinois killed her husband because he "was "too ugly
for him to look at." If the' women as a whole considered tho looks
-^f their, husbands as sufficient cause for murder, it is safe to say
that tho slaughter in "Europe wouldn't begin to compare with" that
o^r here. ' <

Tire' BEAUFORT COUNTY FAIR
Last year there was <onsideratye talk concerning a county fair for
Beaufort. Nothing detutite was done regarding thd project, al
though a number of the prominent business men of the city expressed
themselves as being in favorjpf it.
If We are planning to have a fair in Washington this year, it^j*
time that some action was taken. TTiere%i)i considerable preliminary*
work t^be done anM it will need several Tdonths of time in whicb to
do it. A fair association *411 have to be organized, stock will have
to be sold and other details attended to.
The Chamber of Commerce, at thp next meetthg of the organiza
tion, would do well to discuss the 'matted and see whether it could
not bo launched.
A county fair, held' in Washington, would be a big asset to both
?ho city and the .#?}inty a9 a ^hole.-^Beaufojf is one of the few
enmities in the State ? and we might say in the United States ?
that docs not have an annual fair. We need one. Whether we ar3
going to havo it this year will depend entirely upon th ,wofk that
is done in the next month or two.
The Chamber of Commerce successfully launched the good rpads
campaign and carried it out. There are, enough progressive mem
bers in #the organization who, if- they get down behind, the project,
will also see that a success ?fs* made of th? fair.

KEPEAjL THE WAR TA^fc C
\^he Democratic memberis of tl?e fcaya aiid means committee are
working upon a plan for the Repeal of the war revenue* law, which
has been upon the statute books slneo-Octohpr 22, 1014.
In its ?tead. and for the purpose of making" up the deficit in rev
enue. whi *h would occur if the tax were repealed, they are consider
ing imposing a heavier tax typon incomes of the wealthy residents
of 1 1 1 < mmntrv. "
If their pluii is carried out, it will put the "burden of taxation
where it l>elongs: ? upon the shoulders of thoeo who can afford to
l>ear it. The war tax has served its purpose and_it should be re
pealed. It wns an emergency measure and at tfie tinife it was in
auguratd it was the only feasible plan in sight.
Tho poor of the eouiftrjr already Jiave sufficient taxes to carry.
If nwrre revenue is needed, a tax should' 'be levied ? net upon those*
who already have more than tbey can do to support themselves ? but
upon either our wealths citizens or upon those luxuries of life
which we can do without. ^
LOOKING FOR A POINT OF ATTACK. "
When the newp of the slaughter of American citizen in Mexico
wns received this week, thefre was an immediate uproar in Congress.
, Stirring~BpeechPs were ma<4e, urging the T^itcd States to intervene
and "protect American lives and property."
It will 1*5 noticed, however, that all this agitation, for the montr
part, came from the Republican side of the fence and that, they were
the ones who were most insistent that we* intervene in the affairs
of the country across the Rio Grande.
The Republicans are beginning to get desperate. They evidently
realize that they will have a strenuous tight to' make any kind of
showing against (he Democrats in this years election. Their time
is limited and they are therefore ready to resort to practically any
meanB in order to cast sortN^. smirch upon the party now powor.
Should President \Yilson and tho cabinet decide to intervene ami
send troop* into ilexiro, the Republicans would use it as one of
their strong cards in their fight during tho coming presidential race.
They have been unsuccessful in finding a strong point, of attack in
the affairs of the administration so far and they are doing their
u^nost to locate one
TIIE SHIPPING OF AMMUNITION." J
' According to a t^ifele compiled by the department rvt flfimmerco,
ammunition to the value of $121,743,947 has hern shipped to Enrobe
from the United States in tho fifteen month* ended last October. j
From those figures, is it any wonder that there is such a strong
sentiment in this country against an embargo on arms? Certainly1
not. Let tho war go on indefinitely ; we will-.be well satisfied. Let!
?s do everything* in our po#er to egg on the prions nations, bo that''
there will be no danger of An early peace. J
It is true that Wo are supposed to be strictly neutral, but\with
such a large sum of revenue pouring into the pockets of our million
aires, we can afford to take some chances.
No wonder we Scoffed and ridiculed Ford and his party for at
tempting to bring about peace. Who wants peace if it is going to
deprive us of this large smft of money every year?
