Taxes Extended.

The Governor has approved the act e1'
tending the time OF the payment o: taxes to
February Goth. -,
This bill, during its passage through the
legislature, created considerable interest.
1t was question as to whether the eme
should be extended, unless some unusual
calamity of wind or food or plague or such
should make it necessary. Those IN favor
of the bill thought that the distress caused
by 6ve-cent cotton and the consequent in
ability to get money was calamity enough
to warrant the Legislature in extending the
time of payment Of taxes without penalty.
The bill passed both houses, was ratified
and became an act on Saturday. It was
given to the Governor Immediately, and
accordingly It was approved by him aud

Sorghum MIllet for Hogs.

Mn EDITOR: Having seen IN leSas aS-
ricultural paper two Years ago 'hat hiilel
sown broadcast was the finest grazing III
the world for hogs, ard that Ii furnished
all the water that they would need ann Sn.
gar for fattening purposes. In TACT II
stated that the hog would live and thriVe
on ui!let without corn or wafer; and bsing
so much struck Will. the statement, and
knowing what a necessity meat is 10 the
farm, and without having to buy 1t from
Cincinnati through the merchant on credit
and pay for it with scent cotton, we de-
cided to try it. My brother, +. f. Hodge
put in patch year before last and 1t did so
fine that planted patch last year and
will tell you all can about 1t for the ben
eft of my farming friends.
fenced off three-eighths CT an acre ad-
iolbing my horse and COW lot and some
time in March put 20 bushels OF cotton
seed, l l.2 sacks kainlt, 1-2 sacks acid ali
broadcast, and broke it in with Dixie
plow and the first of April sowed over the
ground 10 quarts of seed and plowed 1t IN
with bull-:nn9ue or centre plow. cross
WAYS to what did the first plow!ng, and
narrowed it in the other way.
Now every one who has ever planted NIL
let knows that when it first comes up It
looks very spare and red for some time and
hardly grows any for some time and after
4 while it puts ont full set Of large roots,
showing on top of the ground, and after
these roots come ont it grows very vlgor-
ouslv. Bv the first of May my mlllet had
ont ont the roots mentioned above suttl-
ciently and pnt Is hogs or shoats on it
and they began Immediately to thrive and
to shed off. l toll some of my neighbors
about what was said about the hogs living
entirely on millet and they asked me to try
them and see if 1t was so, and didn't give
them any corn or anything else for two
weeks and they kept up nicely. l made
slip.eap to nv lot and let them 60 in and
out, but didn't give them any corn, but
they had all the water they wanted. kept
them on it for three months-May. June
and July. Sometimes I would have to turn
in my calves to help keep t grazed down.
The first of August put on the same lot
1-2 sacks each of acid and kaln!t and
planted coffee peas on it and made very
good crop. The first of November l plant
ed rye on it AID it has been tine tor my
pigs and poultry all winter. so you see that
I am trying three crops year on the same
piece of land.
Now caution any one that might try
millet for hogs to always be sure to see that
the millet has taken on the second set OF
roots before putting hogs OF It, for they
will pull it all up in short time. One OF
my neighbors planted patch last spring
and 1t looked so n!ce in week or so that
he put his hogs on ii. and they pulled It all
up.
Everything is very dull over here since
the smallpox scare. No smallpox here. bnt
mighty bad vaccination.
Farm work is progressing nicely with tue
fine weather We have had in January, and
everybody seems to know that they are to
raise hog and hominy or die with scent
cotton. E. D. HODGE.

500 REWARD 500.

The readers of this paper will be pleased
to learn that there is at least one dreaded
disease that science has been able to cure IN
all it's stages, and that is catarrh. Halls
Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure
known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh
being constitutional disease, requires a
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces Of the
system, thereby destroying the foundation
of the disease, and giving the patient
strength by building up the constitution
and assisting nature in doing its work.
The propr;etors have so much faith in its
curative powers that they offer one hundred
dollars for any case that it fails to cure.

Educational Advancement t.

Furman University of Greenville
sc. has made some valuable improve
ments and in a circular the faculty
has the following to say:
With the purpose of strengthening g
the institution, to bring it into closer
touch with the spirit and methods Of
other great schools, and to adapt its
general work to the somewhat chang
ed conditions of the present time, as
well as to anticipate, as far as may
be, the demands of the future, the
trustees and the faculty have resolv-
ed, while maintaining the same high
standard to introduce certain features
which, it is believed will make the
courses even more attractive and the
University a greater power IN the
South.
It has been decided for the next
academic year
To place at the head of the depart
ments of English and History a
scholar trained in those subjects,
whose attainments and experience
will bring added strength to the In
stitution.
To relieve Professor Watson Of
Physics, that he may devote his en-
tire time to instruction in Chemistry
and Biology.
To place in charge of Physics Pro-
fessor Earle, who will, with view to
makeing himself conversant with the
most recent developments in this de-
partment. spend the next vacation
in some great scientific school, either
in this country or in Europe.
To give the entire work IT Greek
to Professor Cook, whose schc iarship
and experience will thus be at the
service of all the classes in that Ian
guage.
To divide the Latin of the college
between Professor Geer and the pres
ident.
To introduce the subject of Peda-
gogics, in order that students who
expect to teach may have, during
their college course, training fer
their life work.
To bring French and German more
prominently into the courses; to
make one of these languages, so i'm
portant to the student of literature,
science and philosophy, a require
ment for degrees; and to reduce the
fee for each language from $40 to So.
Additions and Improvements Of ex-
ceeding Importance, the announce
ment of which will give pleasure to
our people and stir their hearts, are
under consideration.
