Deploring the purposes and idea behind the dry conference held in Asheville this week, Dr. W. M. For est, professor of Biblical history and literature at the University of Virgi nia, and one of the best known churchmen in that state, wrote to Bishop James Cannon just before the meeting here deploring the in trusion of preachers into politics and declaring he would support the party, The Times learned Friday. Dr. Forest’s letter is an open an swer, he says, to a circular letter sent out by Bishop Cannon and Dr. Barton boosting the cause of the meeting here. “I am weary of the unchristian, unpatriotic, unconstitutional bigotry which would penalize an American citizen for his religion by debarring him from politics,” Dr. Forest de clares. He warns that a crusade such as the conference planned will rend and tear the church; that it will not accomplish its alleged purpose, that it means “prostituting the religion of Christ to politics”; and that the temperance cause will not be served by defeating the Democratic nomi nee. Dr. forest concludes with the plea that the bishop and his dry “crusaders” reconsider the matter and “turn to persuasive teaching of the gospel and away from the de sertion of God for politics.” After explaining that he is a mem ber of one of the most ultra Protes tant communions,” Dr. Forest de clares he will vote for Smith because he is “the standard-bearer of that party which, even at its worst holds out more hope than its rival for the administration of government in the interests of all the people^” His statement in part follows: “As for my reasons for not sup porting your dry conference, they are many. I believe you are wrong Inin claiming that Southern Demo cracy and Southern temperance will be served by the defeat of Smith. You are well aware of Republican wetness, and of the scandalous inef ficiency and corruption of prohibi tion enforcement under its wet offi cials. You are equally aware that the dry cause in the South is in the hands of the Democratic party. To bolt that party’s nominee now is to endanger any cause you may in fu ture ask the party to support. “Again, I believe you are wrong in repudiating your party’s nominee after having participated in the con vention that selected him. Espec ially does your course seem wrong after Smith straightforwardly an nounced his allegiance to the very plank in the platform that you and your colleagues labored to put into it. With what face can you again plead with people to yield to what they do not like because it is de creed by rule or l'aw or majority? A decent respect for the opinions of men in general under such cir cumstances should not be set at nought by clergymen. “Like Other Politicians” Further, I believe it is time to call a halt to the preachers and their organizations that have been prosti tuting the religion of Christ to pol itics in the interests of a single re form. The preacher in politics has proved himself sadly like other pol iticians. He wants success and thinks the end justifies the means. He supports irreligious men, how ever wet, if they will promise to vote for his dry measures. . . “At the present moment, the preacher in politics, in the person of you two prominent men who. have called this dry conference, is about to tear the Southern churches asund er because the Democratic nominee is wet You must well know what it will mean to have the clergy de clare this a moral and religious is sue and try to make church mem bers vote your way. It will set brother against brother, in unholy strafe. . ' Should Change Purpose “I therefore, beg you to turn youi Asheville conference into a meeting INFORMATION ON TAX SALES CERTIFICATES Says Twenty Percent Penalty Im posed Is Being Misunderstood The following statement to Coun ty Accountants by Charles M. John son, executive secretary of the Coun ty Government Advisory Commis sion, Raleigh, has been received for publication: “It has been brought to our atten tion that in some counties, a flat penalty of 20 per cent of the total amount of the tax sales certificaes is being imposed upon taxpayers at the time they redeem their property which has been sold for taxes. Hence, we are sending out this cir cular letter to correct such misap prehension of the law. “Section 8037, Chapter 221, Pub lic Laws of 1927, requires that the certificates of sale shall bear inter est at the rate of twenty per centum per annum on the entire amount of taxes and sheriff’s cost for a period of twelve months from the date of sale, and thereafter shall bear inter est at the rate of ten per centum per annum until paid or until final judgment of confirmation is render ed, but every holder of a certificate other than county, municipal corpo ration, or other political subdivi sion, shall, in case said action is not instituted within eighteen months from the date of the first certificate of sale, only receive after the expi ration of eighteen months, on all | amounts expended on or in connec tion with said purchase, interest at the rate of six per cent per annum. “The law is plain therefore, that it is not intended that 20 per cent of the amounT of the certificate be collected from the taxpayer if he pays the taxes and cost three months from the date of the certificate. On ly one-fourth of twenty per cent of that certificate can be collected; three months being one-fourth part of twelve months.” STUDENTS MAY ATTEND SCHOOL WITHOUT PAY At the regular session of the Board of Education Monday, Au gust 6th, it was definitely decided that all students of Clay County have the privilege of attending the Hayesville High School with out paying tuition.

Of humiliation in the sight of God and men because the holy cause of preaching and teach ing religion to lead mere political reforms. “Of confession to God and in the presence of men for putting your confidence in an arm of flesh, griev ously sinning against the Spirit by trying to drive men by law instead of winning them to the principles of Jesus by the 'persuasive power of the gospel. “Of supplication that God m»v grant forgiveness to Hi ministers, graciously receivnij back into His service where spend the remainder of striding to recover the lost ra the Christian religion— the Spirit of ministers to * tent
