Republican claims economy in federal expen ditures and appropriations were deni ed today by Senator Overman of Noith Carolina, ranking Democratic member on the senate appropria tion committee in comparing present and past appropriations. "All the big headlines which have been appearing ii the iiewspaers showing the big sa sings' under the budget system were nothing but cam ouflage and pipe dreams," declared Senator Overman, referring to Chair man Warren and Maddon of the senate and house appropriation committees respectively- Appropriations under the Repub lican administration for ordinary put- noses durinff thevear 1922-23 were $536,0000,0000 more thai those under the Wilson administration in 1915 for actual: runni-; expenditures of the government, ' exclusive of war time expenses, Senator Overman declared He said it was more fair to com pare the 1922-23 appropriations with the peace condition of 1915 than to make the comparisons with the ap- prorppriations of last year, as was lone by the Republican chairmen. "It is true, as stated by Senator Warren, said Senator Overman," that expenditures will be $319,000,000 less than 19'2, but by analyzing this slate it is found that a greater part f it was on aco'unt of the saving by congress in decresing the army and iavy and by charging the good roads "tern to thepostal departmentall of which are necessary to' peace." - By excluding f rorn present after v'ath expendituresr Senator Overman ! id "the legitimate expenditures of he government for 1922 were $1,- 1 390000,000 as against . $793, 000,000 or 1915. f ; : ' - FiGHT INJUNCTION I 13y the Associated Press.

WHAT "GOOD" WHISKEY DID Asheville Citizen. Excusable because they have had no particular occasion to acquaint them selves with tne iacts. peopie mis takenlv believe that until the advent of the - poisonous concoctiqjis which have followed prohibition there were no deaths directly due to. alcoholic iquor drinking. As a matter of fact, it appears that alcoholism had more victims, it ,' wet" davpXhan "dry"r-that bottled-in-bond or bar-room whiskey Killed, as a de finite poison, more persons m pre- nrntiihitirm lnvs than are T1PW charged L0 "alcoholism" by the doctors. Alcohol has always been medically classed as a "poison" wnetner in gooa wnisxey or bad. Statistics of 'New York city show that there 687 persons died of alcohol ism in ; 1916; in 19t), only 98. The deceptive inference should not be drawn from this latterjrgure that it represents all the fatalities due to drinfcitTg everything labelel "whiskey." Deaths due to wood alcohol concoc tions and there were many of them were doubtless charged to the gen eral class of "poison". The 98 deaths were due to drinking real, unadulter ated Whiskey. That there were not more merely .proves that there is much less real whiskey, available. ' In this connection, it may be noted . . i i i that Margot Asquith has revised her "Impressions'? which she gained while heinir entertained by "particular lands of people':, in JNew lorn, wno, sne now recOErnizes. "do not represent more than a small statistical stratum . in, that great country." . She comments that while her hosts drank, and "there is a great .deal of drink consumed in the United States, it is infinitely less than before . prohibition came."., Per sonally, Margot is "dry;" "the enemies of temperance are thosje who drink in ration more than habitual drunk ards. Drinking alcohol can never be harmless." she writes To many Americati ocean travel- un-le, the first three miles are the long- - cst lowao ClU. TO HIBHES OUT ' ' - V . , i ......

'T! . wMJr o supply me . . . needs of Hickory and suburbs, and Colonel Pratt has written that Prof. Thorndyke Saville of -the University of North Carolina faculty will stop over Hicko'ry during the next two weeks to go over the situation with local authorities. A contour map of vatawDa county and this section was forwarded as information. Hickory has an elevation of 1,163 feetat the First National: Bank and 1,222 feet at the Carolina and North western shops. The two elevations for. Lenoir are 1,133 feet at the postoffice and 1,182 at the highest point. Mor ganton is given 1,181- and 1,182, the first figures being .at the court house. Morganton is preparing to ob tain a gravity flow of water.; . . . Owing to Hickory's altitude, the. cost of pumping the water from the wells to the standpipe, a direct raise of 498 feet, is between 20 and 24 cents a thousand gallons. This makes the wa ter rate here rather high. .. Several years ago the Chamber of Commerce investigated the feasibility of obtaining water from some near-by stream, but the effort was abandoned. Unless an abundant flow of water could be obtained on the headwaters of Henry, river in Burke county or in the Brushy mountaints of; Alexander,, the city would have to go as far west as Bridgewater for a supply. There is little chance of , getting water-: at Bridgewater, a distance of 42 miles,. There will be much .interest here in the visit of Professor Saville, be cause the time is comiryr. which Hick ory r will be. compelled to, reach, out for its water. This- city is. situated on Bolch's ridge, and is hard to - reach by . means of, gravity. A natural flow of water, however, would reduce the cost to tne consumers; and prepare tor the greater growth of the city. Newton, July ,26.

SELECT ARCHITECTS FOR NEW SCHOOL By the Associated Press. Atlanta, Ga., July 25. Edward Young Clarke, imperial wizard pro tern of the Knights of the Ku KIux Klan, late today issued a state ment denying that he had unmasked the Ku Klux Klan in Georgia or any other part of the country. . :. The only thing he did, Mr, Clarke said, was . to issue an executive order , applying only to Georgia "stopping ... for the time being all parades and the , use of the mask and costume for any., purpose in Georgia by the Klansmen,,. except in the Klavern or lodge room of the Klan." " - ' Emphasizing that the executive or der was confined to Georgiaj Mr. Clarke, in his statement said: '; ' "The correspondence between myself and governor Hardwick regarding the 2 Ku Klux Klan published in the Sunday papers has been grossly twisted and it is causing considerable misunder standing on account of this fact. "First: I have not unmasked the Ku Klux Klan in Georgia or anywhere else in the nation; the only thing I did .was to issue an executive order stopp ing for the time being all parades and the use of the masks and cos-.! tume for any purpose in Georgia by Klansmen except in the Klavern or lodge room of the Klan. "Second: The order affected Geor gia only, and the statement which has been broadcasted that it applied to the entire nation has caused a flood of telegrams to, be. received at- head- k quarters and considerable confusion in the ranks of the organization all over the country. ; -.. . ..- "In explanation of the reason why T' issued the order stopping, parades and , the , use of the mask and costume iri Georgia for, the present time, I desire" to say that I did so because Of con- " certed effort at .the -present time in.V Georgia to make its appear -that the. Ku Klux Klan is either directly respdn- . sible for acts of lawlessness in the state or indirectly responsible for ini tiation of our costume by lawless ele-i ments or by .those seeking to discredit. our organization. I thought, the best , way to clear up such a situation was to issue the executive order, which .1 did, and when I discussed the matter with the governor he agreed with me that this would solve the problem. In addition to the ; executive, order stop- ping parades .
