Napoleon the First once said he could
raise fifty dollars revenue from mans
vices and appetites to one from his virtues.
and it seems that Old Virginia is acting on
that idea. having levied a direct tax upon
the appetite. The last Legislature passed
a law levying tax Of two-and-a-half-cents
on every drink of alcoholic beverage sold
in the State. and half cent on malt
liquors. OF course the sellers of the liquids
objected to the law and applied for an in
junction in the United States Circuit Court.
but that Court finally on argument dis
solved the injunction, and the law went in
to effect on the 10th of September last. in
every saloon in the city of Richmond, Va.
In connection with it is the Introduction of
the MOffet register. or ''bell punch" as it
has been called. 1t is estimated that the
law will yield an annual revenue Of $780,
600. The register is a plain apparatus.
about the size ola small cigar box, with a
gas-meter dial on the front and crank in
the rear. Inside is the necessary machinery
to register each drink. and a gong. which
with each revolution OF the crank. gives
notice of the fact. There is no punch about
it, that idea having originated from its SIM
ilarity to the car-bell punch. The barkeep-
ers and liquor dealers are greatly excited at
the success of the register. They are
violently opposed to it and threaten to de-
feat every candidate for the Legislature
who will not vote for the repeal of the law.
The novelty of its operation was tested
while the late State Convention was in scs-
sion. and it is regarded as success.

IMPORTANT TO FARMERS!
CAT-TAIL MILLET
THE CHEAPEST FORAGE FOR CATTLE

WITH the view of benefitting the farmers of
w York county by introducing the grass
known as "CATTAIL MILLET,' we have or
dered a supply, and have it now on hand for sale.
The experience ofthose who have cultivated it as
green food for cattle, fully justifes us in recon-
mending it the best thing that can be cultivated
for that purpose Mr. w. J. Gordon, Of York
vile, thrifty farmer, after thoroughly testing it,
speaks in the highest terms Of its merits as food
for milch cows. which they eat with relish, i'm
proving both the quantity and quality of the
milk. He says he speaks within bounds when
he says that one quart of seed planted by him last
could eat during the summer. 1t is, therefore,
safe to say that one pound of seed, planted on
rich ground, will yield an ample supply for two
head of cattle. For horses however, it is not re-
commended-nor is 1t desirable to feed it to them
constantly.
Mr.. Gordons plan is to cut the millet, when
about two feet high, before the heads begin to ap
pear-cutting only enough at a time for single
feed. Commencing in this manner with the first
row of the patch, and going regularly over it, by
sufficiently to commence taking from it again,
which process can be repeated throughout the
summer, as it is plant of rapid growth. While
it is preferable to use it green food, it also
does we'll when cured for winter feeding. For
this purpose, however, it should be cut while the
plant is young-before heading-being then more
nutritious and less fibrous.
One plowing, after the plant is about ankle
high, is the only cultivation the mllet requires.
1t should be planted from the first to the middle
of May; drilled in rows about three feet apart.
The seeds are sown in the same manner as drill
ing turnip seeds.
We are not offering this seed OH speculation,
bare net cost and carriage being all we desire in
pecuniary point of view. We do hope, however,
the farmers will avail themselves of the opportu
nifty thus presented for supplying themselves
with fine grass, which will prove highly remu-
nerative, and we, therefore, put the price at thir
ty-fve cents per pound, delivered at our Store in
Yorkville. Very respectfully,
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1878-02-28
A Gentle Hint.

In our style of climate, with its sudden changes
of temperature-rain, wind and sunshine often
ntermngled in single day-itis no wonder that
our children, friends and relatives are so fire.
quently taken from us by neglected colds, half
the deaths resulting directly from this cause. A
bottle of Boschee's German Syrup kept about
your home forimmediate use will prevent serious
sickness, large doctors BILL and perhaps death,
by the use of three or four doses For curing
Consumption, Hemorrhages, Pneumonia. Severe
Coughs, Group, or any disease of the Throat or
Lungs, its success is simply wonderful, as your
druggist will tell you. German Syrup is now
sold in every town and village on this continent.

for the recovery of the amount of the debt,
Judgment was obtained against him, and his
personal property, consisting of wagon and
mule, was about to be levied upon and sold.
In this unfortunate predicament he applied
to his lawyer for counsel, who advised him
that the only way of saving his property was
to get married, and avail himself of the ben
efits of the homestead law. This advice he
cordially embraced, as he did the wife he
very soon found. He struck out immediate.
ly in search of wife. The first woman, to
whom he made a proposition of marriage,
consented on the condition that he first pay
her house rent. Fearing that she might not
be true to her promise after the payment of
the desired rent, he left. The second woman
to whom he proposed accepted him uncondi-
tionally, and they were married. After the
celebration of the nuptial rite he fastened to
his lawyer, informed him of his marriage,
and desired to take the homestead" Upon
hearing this, the lawyer saw the sheriff, told
