' There will bo a delightful musical treat in store for the music lovers of Boiling Springs and vicinity on Sat urday evening of this week when the music department of the Boiling Springs high school will present a splendid and entertaining operetta for the benefit of the music depart ment. The curtain will rise, at 7:30 promptly. Episcopal Buzsar Went "Over The Top." By the splendid co-optation of the Paragon stockholder and the gener ous Vernon Graves, Henderson post office clerk whose theft of $21,000 re cently made him a federal prisoner, was sentenced to a term of two years in Atlanta prison and ordered to pay a fine of $500. Young Graves sat with his pretty young wife bowed before Judge Con nor, wno addressed the crowded court room and told why he did not feel it in interest of the criminal or sound public policy to impose a heavy sen tence on the prisoner. The Graves couple did not attempt to play the fympathy role. The young wife wept intermittently, but always under all possible restraint and the young fel low with eyes on the floor was serv ing the hardest of his sentence before he left the court room. Nobody in the court reemed to wish the court to pile on punishment, it was as sober a spectacle as one witnesses jn a life time. Judge Connor was sure that the THE TOTAL COST OF THE WAR. Secretry of Treasury Figures It Cost $24,000,900,009 That The cost of the war to the Ameri can government was fixed by Secre tary Houston at $24,010,000,000. This he said, represented the "adjusted" expenditures of the treasury, exclud ing all other outlay, which had no re lation to actual prosecution of the war from April 6, 1917, to June 30, last, which, he said; coverey the ex tremes of the government war-time liscal operations. Total expenditures by the govern ment during the period covered ex cepting only postal disbursements, were $30,812,895, treasury . fig ures showed. Of this amount $16, 078,844,097 was obtained in taxes and revenue from sources other than b( rrowed money. Ho'iston said dedubtion of $9,523. 000,000 the amount loaned foreign governments, should bo made from the grand total today, as these will be repaid and cannot be considered in the final count. I he secretary made other deduc tions of $4,500,000,000, which he said represented excess cost of actual government of three years and three months.

HOE Y MAKF;, REPLY TO G il. . ,;;iIAM Tlnkham Wanta Conirrcii t i i.ij Out if any Class of Voters Art Denied Rights Washington, Dec. 10. Representa tire Clyde R. Hoey, of the ninth dia, tnct, today commented forcefully upon the resolution of Representa tive George H. Tinkham, of Massa chusetts, to force an investigation of election practices in the south with'u view to cutting down southern repre sentation in congress, That northern Republicans would agitate this question at this session has previously been predicted. Repre sentative TinkhamV resolution offer ed at, the opening of the session this morning directs that before there is any reappointment legislation the census committee shall investigate wneuier mere has been any discrim inate n against any class of voter because of their color and that if this class is deprived of suffrage in aay section it shall b taken into account in the reapiHirtionment legislation. Commenting on this resolution to day, Representative Hoey, who ex pects to make a speech in the house on this same subject, said "The first day of the new session witnessed the introduction of g bill to reduce the representations of the south because the negro is not per mitted to vote. This time the meas ure is championed by Representative Tinkham, of Massachusetts. His name is against him. It sugests the type of man who would be ambitious to Tinker' with so vital a matter as suffrage in the south and willing to punish our people because they are determined to preserve their political iviliziift.ii and social fabric, regard less of all the clamor of all the 'Tiri berers' from anywhere. "T: Yhurn hails from the state of Lod;-v, of force bill fame. The atmos phere Massachusetts seems to gen erate :;outh hating R publicans. How ever, it is refreshing to know that mate,- New England and western Re publicans do not share the views of men like Tinkham and others of th state. Only last night I was talking w'th one of the Republican leader in Congress from New EngfLind ami he said that practicr.lly of tV thinking people in thp i: ."-. i now freely admit in private' conversation that the 15th amendment was a se rious mistake a crime of the recos- struction period and that they sym pathize with the south in handling the problems growing out of the adop tion of the negro suffrage amendment. His idea is that Congress will not at tempt to interfere with the south in the settlement of her peculiar prob lems. "The basis alleged for the reduc tion of representation is the compar atively small vote cast in the south. This does not apply to North Caro lina. Our vote in the recent election ; m pa red favorably with the vote east in the various states of the union and refutes any suggestion of over re presentation. In the states farther outh the vote was small, due more 'o the fact that there was no appre ciable opposition to the Democratic nominee than to any other cause. This is an added reason why all Democrats ounllt to vole in the election regard less of the opposition party. "The advocates of reduction, how- " ever, forget that the representation in Congress is now and has always . been based on population and not on voting s'renglh. : nd upon this ha.-is there is no justification for any re duction in any southern state, but some of them will make gains, no tably North Carolinp. The little mat ter of practice of a century lias no persuasive force with a Republican of the Tinkham type, when lie is seek ing some method of venting spleen against the south ami achieving a lit tle cheap notoriety while he struts his brief period on the stage. "In order to punish the south in this ,way it would be necessary to abandon the method heretofore ob taining in providing for representa tion and there is no' occasion for any change. I do not believe the conserv ative Republicans will countenance such a movement." John Ford.
