Time Extended.

While we think it makes little difference as
to the date when taxes are to be paid, yet We
do think 1t a great wrong to try to fool the
people every year. The time for collecting
taxes, without penalty, has been extended to
March lst.
The testimony of taxpayers in all parts OF
the State has been to the effect, that the time
limit should be extended to, say the first OF
March. The testimony has been 80 unani-
nous for SO many years that our law makers
should recoguize fact.
Let them then open the tax books on the
first of March. AS every taxpayer has the
right to wait TO the last day, our Legislators
should not close their eyes to that fact.
1t is recogn lied every year that money 10
needed before the close Of the calendar year.
To get this money It would be only necessary
for the State to make liberal discount to
those who paid early. In some OF the States
hal f of one per cent. month Is allowed on
taxes paid before expiration of time limit.
II this or u similar rule was adopted sstisfac-
tory results would follow.

feems TO be Opposed to the Dispen.
Sary.

The Greenville News, whose editorials are
inferior to those OF no newspaper in this State,
IL seems to us, Is opposed to the dispensary
law. How as good and as wide awakea news
paper as the News can be opposed 10 the dis
pensary Is more than we can understand.
That paper is all right except on the dispen-
sary question, For this reason We regret
especially to see that paper get on the wrong
side.
Assuming that our respected neighbor
would not like TO see the habit Of mixing
Increased, we do not see how any man on
earth holding these views could wish for the
re-opening of the bars. We have prohibition
from sunset to sunrise. That Is certainly
good, as far as 1t goes-ifw we want temperance.
fns> Aabit of treating has been broken up.
That Is something.
The News is wrong when it would eliminate
the negro as a customer OF the dispensary.
The dispenser at Abbeville says that at least
two-thirds OF the sales at this place is to ne
groes, and that negroes pay at least two-thirds
of the money for liquor.
We believe 1t is fact that a large per cent.
Of the white people have nearly quilt drink
Ing Equor as beverage.
II the News would examine its own pages,
as we'll as the pages Of other daily newspapers,
1t would see the difference in the number OF
homicides committed in this State and else
where. Very few men are killed in the ab-
sence Of liquor. Since the liquor men Of this
R611bsve abandoned their efforts to over
'.he laws Of the State, very few homicides
occurred where constables were con-
ed.

IMAGINARY FACTS.
If Corporations Did These Things,
Then They Would be Very Naughty
Indeed.-Mr. Morse Takes Issne
uifh The press and Rannpr


with the Press and Banner.
Editor Press and Banner:
Dear Sir: l read with much pleas
ure and interest your most excellent
article in last weeks Hress and Ban
ner, entitled, "Trusts and Corpora
tions," and while not depreciating it's
literary merit in the least, 1 must say
that l differ with you somewhat on
some points. l may be wrong in my
idea as to what constitutes "trust,"
but it is this: A trust is a combina-
ton of capital for the purpose of de-
preciating the price of raw material
and raising the price of manufactured
articles above Legitimate profit. lam
against all such and think everyone
who stops and thinks on the subject a
few moments will agree with me that
l am right.
A cotton mill or a railroad is not
necessarily a trust, as you seem to
think, but if all the cotton mills in the
United States were to bind themselves
together to pay but cents pound for
good cotton and then sell at wholesale
ordinary white homespun at y cents
a yard, that would be trust.
Had you noticed in Bradstreet's re-
port few weeks ago that they made
the statement, based on actual statisti-
cal facts, that it cost today 81. 50 to buy
the same amount of the actual necessa-
ries of life that in the year 1897 cost but
$l.O0? And why is it thus? All be-
cause of the trusts. / don't know that
any one is opposed to the combination
of capital for the purpose of carrying
on trade in legitimate manner, but |
do think that everyone, except the ca
pitalsts who are interested in it, are
very much opposed to the combination
of capital for the purpose of lowering
the price of the raw material and en-
hancing the price of the manufacture
ed article.
I notice you also make mention in
your article about children working in
cotton factories. Any one knows that
a child under 13 years of age has no
business working day in and day out,
month in and month out, in a factory,
farm, shop, office, or anywhere else,
but that that child should be at school
receiving rudimentary education. 1t
is a great, great pity that there is not
in the State of South Carolina COM
pulsory education law, compelling ev-
cry child between the ages of 6 and lG
years, inclusive, to go to school at least
seven months during the year. There
is not a more pitiful sight than to ZEE
q grown man or woman who can't
read, write or figure. The State is full
of such now among the whites, but 20
years hence, at the rate things are now
going at, there will be three illiterate
white men and women where there are
at present one. When a person sits
down and calmly thinks over 1t the
outlook for the future is truly appalling.
would like to write more fully up
on this subject, but fearing that | may
take up too much space in your val
liable paper, and thanking you for 80
kindly allowing me this much, | re-
main, as ever. Yours respectfully,
w. H. MORSE.

How to Cure Insomnia.

1t Is now a generally recognized fact
that one Of the most prolific causes OF
insomnia Is overeating, that practice re-
sulting usually in q disturbed condi-
ton Of the digestive organs If in moth
ing more serious. The remedy in such
cases is obvious enough. Cases are
common where insomnia Of protract-
ed and stubborn nature has yielded to
a period Of fasting. There are few
cases of sleeplessness, in fact. in which
q little dieting may not be tried with
good effect. Copious drinking OF cold
water just before retiring is often
highly efficacious. Deep breathing kept
up as long as possible by will power is
q generally recommended remedy for
occasional sleeplessness. the main aim
being to keep the mind from thinking.

FOOD\FOR THE SICK.
How to Prepare and Serve 1t In .
Temptinr WAY.


Tempting Way.
AS the patient begins 10 regain health
and strength more solid food is given
milk or cream toast, soft boiled or
poached eggs, cereal mushes, stewed or
sometimes fresh fruits or we'll baked
potato. Great care must be taken not
10 overtax the digestive organs. Re-
lapses are often caused by too much in
diligence Of the patients appetite at
this stage. One must advance slowly
and with great care. a broiled bird or
g. piece Of rare beefsteak or a chop may
be given when the patient is in sufti-
ciently advanced stage Of recovery.
Oysters are almost always allowed and
are both palatable and easily digested
If perfectly fresh and not too much
cooked. When they are overlooked,
the albumen becomes hardened, very
tough and difficult to digest. Cook
them only until the gills begin to curl.
Cream soups are valuable. as they are
nourishing and easily digested, but
they should not be boiled too long.
A great deal of attention should be
paid to the serving of food for sick
person. The faint appetite Of illness
can best be coaxed by the daintiness OF
the food. Serve the food on a tray with
q fresh, white cover and be careful not
to put so much on the tray as to crowd
it. Better to serve too little and let the
patient ask for more than to put so
much on at one time that the sick one
is Immediately discouraged. A flower
or a little sprig of green laid upon the
white tray cloth is often IN incentive
to the Indifferent appetite, but do not
attempt vase Of flowers unless 1t be
very small and dainty one. Have the
tray set with the prettiest china and
glass obtainable, without too much col
or, so as to weary the eye. If the china
is all Of single pale tint, the effect
will be very dainty and pleasing to the
eye Of the patient. 1t must also be
small enough to accommodate the size
of the tray. Never let the tray or re-
mains of food served stand in the sick
room after the patient has been fed.
Let all hot foods be served imme-
dlately after they are prepared, and 1t
seems superfuous to mention that all
hot dishes must be hot and all cold
dishes equally cold. However, this Is
not always done. Sometimes both the
cold and hot dishes are allowed to
stand until they reach the same tenn
perature.
There are great many simple, dain-
ty desserts which may be served to the
invalids, especially those made with
eggs and gelatin. Ice cream is often
given and Is very nutritious and can be
digested by some very i'll patients, and
it Is almost always relished.

The Liquor Business.

Increased sales Of liquor from the dis
baty may be accounted for in the fact that
law Is better enforced, and that the oppo-
lon to the law is dying out Bnt the diff,
renee may be attributed to the evil infiu.
bee of the dispensary, according to the bent
bf ones mind. Some people think half dozen
Ybar- rooms, with doors open half the night,
sometimes not kept closed on Sunday, are not
as influential for evil as one dispensary,
which Is open only during six days OF the
week. 1t all depends upon the view point,
and how little man may know of the two
systems. But the reader is as able to draw
his own conclusions as we are. We give the
figures of the sales ofthe Abbeville dispensary
for the last nine years, on December 24th OF

One pint Of milk heated to 100 de-
