IndpDGndent Of the Trusts,

The GEORGE A. TREADWELL MINING
COMPANY needed a million dollars to equip its
large. rich and extensive properties. 1t might
have obtained the money in lump from the
Money Trust-which is controlled by the
Copper Trust-or some Of its connections, and
ever thereafter been dominated by it. It chose
10 90 slower and offer its stock 10 the people
who are outside the trusts The consequence
is that # has equipped its property, paying its
way as 1t has gone and keeping out Of debt.
Now as it is approaching the self-sustaining
and diviaend-paytng period. it finds itself able
70 devote its entire earnings 10 betterments on
It's property and dividends on its stock. and no
outside interest has any veto power that can
embarrass it It is independent and has no in
terest 10 subserye save that Of its stockholders.
With its properties unsurpassed in extent and
uurivalIed in richness. its up-to-date equipment,
paid for as fast acquired. management at
once far-seeing. efficient and conservative. and
being able TO devote its entire attention to the
earning of present and future dividends for its
stockholders, its stock affords opportunity
for unique investment-safe and at the same
time tempting.
Only q very limited number Of shares remain
10 be sold At any price. You can buy them
through your broker at market rates.

ALLEGED Bu rdsu Of Taxes.

yar,ous raudidates TOR State cir- have In
Weighed against high State taxes, and e&'
pressed great sympathy with the burden
bearers.
The fsci 10, that the people do not object 10
high taxes. II . hundred elections on the
subject. afford any proof. II 10 clear that The
people always vote for an increase OF the
taxes when they are allowed an opportunity
TO do 90.
About tho funniest piece along this line
that We have seen In the newspapers during
this campaign 10 "Gants Plan OF Reducing
the Taxes" While Il is not quite clear to us
what method he would suggest, II We under
stand him, he iutimates that the granting
Of charters or licenses by the Secretary oi
State might be made to make the public
treasurery overflow AZ by magic.
Citing New Jersey he proves conclusively
that the business OF granting charters
NJ 'ranchises 10 the best and easiest way
on earth 10 raise money. and shows without
the shadow OF doubt that South Carolina
ought to 20 into the oharter-grsnting busi'
ness. From his letter 10 nppeara that ouI
Legislature has blundered wonderfully In not
fostering aud developing the business OF
chartering corporations and trusts and xiv
ing franchises He gives our Legislators the
tip without being seemingly CONSCIOUS OF the
service he js doing.
II our candidates for the Legislature would
advocate the granting OF charters, instead
of trying TO drive corporations away 70 New
Jersey for their legal papers. the eyes OF our
people would DO opened to their mistake In
pay ing any taxesst all.
The politicians seem TO have discovered
that these corporations which give employ
ment 10 people who have either muscle or
skiil are the greatest public enemies. On this
point the politicians never specify. but we
may believe that their enmity to the people
consists In their going to New Jersey for
charters when South Carolina should receive
the fees. Mr.. CAN'T suggests tho idea wheth.
or Intentional or not that the state OF South
Carolina might make large sum OF money
by running nrat class charter mill.
Another good suggestion OF Mr.. CAN'T was
that OF taxing professional men sufficiently 10
relieve the people. Knowing our lawyer
N We do We have no doubt that they would
gladly shoulder the State taxes. In thls
county, which amounts 70 oaly about S2s .o00
Mr.. CAN'T suggests the idea thst our
method OF direct taxation will keep capital
,ts and home. aeekers from our Stale. The
fact Ia, the present method Of assessing
taxes bears equally upon individuals and
corporations. This or something else must
have commended itself 70 foreign capital. II
the past ten years OF progress In South Caro-.
lima indicate anything.

This would seem q sufncient tax on that cor.
poration without being toiled At the State

THE SPEED OF BIRDS.
II In Not Nearly So Great n Has Been
Generally Assumed.

II In Not Nearly So Great n Has Been
Generally Assumed.
II you consult the usually accepted au-
thorities on the speed Of birds In their
flight, you are likely to be misled oy nm
exaegeration Of from 100 to 3OO per cent
This Is because figures hare been given
on hearsay, appearance and very superb
cial observation. But recently American,
English and French observers have been
comparing notes and are practically
agreed, after most careful calculation
on the speed Of the best known birds.
They started with the carrier pigeon
and have made him base OF compari-
son. He has heretofore been credited
with 40 miles an hour. but It Is now
agreed that he Is entitled to so. A quite
recent long distance, carefully conducted
test of 502 miles, from the Shetland Is
lands TO London, showed that the most
rapid pigeons made 81 miles an hour.
On shorter distances none made more
than so miles.
Because frigate birds have been seen
far from land and have been supposed
not to fly by night or to rest on the water
they have been credited with q speed OF
from $50 TO 200 miles an hour. II they
did Hy at that speed. they would have to
overcome an atmospheric pressure OF
from 112 to l3O pounds to the square
foot of flying surface. There Is no GER
tainty that they ay more rapidly than q
passenger pigeon or that they do not ny
at night or DO not sleep on the water.
The swallow, that Is indeed rapid
fier. has been credited with $50 miles
an hour. but he must be cut down to 70
miles, and the marten Is FIVE miles behind
him, though authorities have placed him
ten rifles ahead.
The teal duck Is brought down from
l4O to 50 miles IN hour. The mallard Is
Eve miles slower and Gics the same as the
canyasback, while both OF these are hVe
miles an hour ahead Of the wild goose and
elder duck.
The pheasant makes 3S miles IN hour.
which Is three miles ahead Of the prairie
chicken and quail. though the latter ap.
pears to fly much faster on account OF
his temporary burst Of speed that seldom
exceeds 200 feet. The crow fies 70 miles
an hour. ,,
Small birds appear to ay more rapidly
than the large ones and have deceived
many observers. The humming bird does
not Hy rs fast as many awkward appear
Ing, very much larger. slow hopping

DOES A BABY PAYf
A Fathers View OF the Entries Asae
ou the Family Ledger.


Does 2-year- baby pay for itself up
to the time it reaches that interesting
age? Sometimes think not. thought
60 yesterday when my own baby slipped
into my study and scrubbed the carpet
and his best white dress with my bottle
Of ink. He was playing In the coal hoi
ten minutes after n clean dress was put
on him, and later Va the day he pasted 90
cents worth OF postage stamps on the
parlor wall and poured q dollars worth
Of the choicest white rose perfumery out
Of the window ito see 1t vain"
Then he dug out the center of nicely
baked loaf Of cake and was found In the
middle of the dining room table with the
sugar bowl between his legs and most Of
the contents In his stomach.
He has already cost 500 In Doctors
bills, and I feel that am right in attrib-
uting my few gray hairs to the misery l
endured walking the floor with him at
night during the 6rst year Of his life.
What has he ever done to pay me for
that7
Ah! I hear his little feet pattering
along out In the hall. hear his little
ripple of laughter because he has escaped
from his mother and has found his way

Well, I guess he does! He has cost me
many anxious days and nights. He has
cost me time and money and care and

sorrow. He has cost much. But he has
