REPORT OF FERTILIZER BOARD.
The Statement Showing the Amount
OF Tag Tax Receipts.

OF Tag Tax Receipts.
The State says at the meeting OF
the Clemson trustees the board Of fer.
tilizer control submitted the following
report OF the fertilizer department.,
for the year ending June Goth, 1905.
AS the annual tabular information
in full cannot be available, until bull
letins covering the whole seasons work
is published, and all bills in the bands
OF the treasurer, this report is only
partial.
1.-The receipts from sale OF fertilizer
tags amounts to 1926. 627 45.
THE board OF fertilizer control con-
ceding the importance OF having the
fertilizer fiscal year correspond with
that OF the college, changed the time
so that the fertilizer year shall end
hereafter on the 30th OF June each
year, The secretary was therefore in
structed to notify the manufacturers
and dealers of fertilizers to send in for
redemption in money all unused tags
in their possession, by the 3Oth day OF
June.
In compliance with this notice,
tags have been sent in amounting to
ss, 167.6 63, which have been redeemed.
by deducting this sum from the
total, viz: s127, 627 81, we have left a
balance OF s1lS, 45e82 from which the
expense OF inspection and analyses is
to be deducted. OF this sum, the
amount OF $40, ,505. so was received from
cotton seed neal tags, which Is s1o,-
236.75 in excess OF last year, due to
the tagging OF all meal used for STOCK
food, and which has hitherto been eX-
empt by law.
'On account Of the vastly increased
business in fertilizers, and the evident
importance Of a closer and more rigid
inspection Of fertilizers, the board
deemed it advisable, in fact necessary,
to double the force Of inspectors. 1t
was also found necessary to increase
the wages of these inspectors, In order
to get suitable men for the work.
In order to keep the people OF the
State promptly informed as to the
quuality OF fertilizers being sold, the
chemical force was instruced to issue
weekly bulletins OF the analyses OF fer,
tilizers and mail them to the people Of
the State.
THE board Of trustees will readily
see that on account Of these increased
demands the cost OF inspection and an
alyses has been increased conslderab'
ly, and il the demands Of the people
are met for full information as to the
analysis OF fertilizers during the com
ing season, and your committee be-
lieves they. should be, the cost will
still be more increased another year
Respectfully submitted,
'J. E. Tindal,
Chairman Board Fertilizer Control.

PASS HIM AROUND.
A Young Rascal Who Worked Col
umbia and Skipped

The Record says ". a. Morris is
the name OF a smooth article who
worked Columbia last week, and a
search is now being made for him.
Morris went to Columbia representing
himself as an artist connected With
Munseys magazine. He claimed to
be one OF ability and was generally be-
lievsd. Several Of the prominent
young men around the city took up
with him and he was generally treat
ed well.
Requests were made once OF twice
for an exhibit OF his skill as an artist,
but he generally had a way OF dodg-
ing when the tins came for sketch.
So rapidly did this young man work
his game that in short two days be
made bis first application for loan
and got it. Only one Of his new &C
quaintances had suspicion that every
thing was not all right and he tele-
graphed the Munsey people in New
York. The following reply was re-.
ceiVed:
Have no one on artists staff named
Morris Must be imposter.'' Morris
must have had an idea that he had
been found out, for he disappeared at
once before the telegram could be
brought to his attention. Incidentally
be neglected to settle a board bill and
one OF two other little matters that
had been termed lines Of credit. All
efforts to trace him have failed and
Munsey has offered to bear all expense
OF prosecution II he should be found.
People everywhere should be on the
lookout for this smooth article.

A Striking Career.

A striking career was that OF the
late Charles Raekley, lumberman and
philanthropist, OF Muskegon, Mich.
Eackley went to Muskegon when
mere boy, in 1856, with only 81 in
his pocket, having worked his passage
across Lake Michigan on schooner.
He smassed a great fortune, bis
wealth at bis death being estimated
at sl5, 100000, while his benefactions
to Muskegon alone amounted to more
than s4,ooo,000. Although he is
said to have contributed to every
cnurch in the city, be never attended
any, and never witnessed perform
ance IN a thsater.

The Rice Crop.

The government monthly crop re-
port shows that not all the reduction
has been in cotton acreage. The
acreage in rice is lesSthan that Of
last year by about $4,000 acres OF
rs per cent, The condition OF the
crop is also below that Of last year.
These facts are Of vital interest to
the rice planters Of this section, who
have for the last two OF three years
been forced to suffer the depression
in prices resulting from a tremendous
increase In the yield OF American
rice A reduction in acreage OF 26
Der cent should have its effect upon
the prices Of the cereal next fall

Gets Ten Thousand.

The State says the jury in the
Pickett case Friday awarded young
Pickett $4,000 damage for the loss
OF his right arm by being run over by
a Southern train at St. Matthews four
years ago. The case was first heard
two years ago and verdict was rem
dered for sS, 500, but the railroad ap'
pealed to the supreme court on the
ground OF excessive damages. The
appeal was sustained and the case re-
manded for anoUher hearing. The
suit was first brought for SO, 1000 &C.
tual damages and $4,000 punitive dam
ages, but this last time the amount
demanded was only $4,000, as no pun
itive damages were asked tor. It is
unusual that every cent Of such a
large amount should be allowed by a
jury. The case has aroused much in.

TIE BROWN SHORTAGE.
Commissioner Tatum Gives Out
Statement About 1t.

The following statement was made
by Commissioner Tatum in regard to
the money lost by Dispensary 1nspec-
tor Brown:
Inspector c. L. Brown was sent to
Charleston by me to do some detec-
tive work; he usually has been used
by mysel;, as we'll as my predecessor,
for this kind Of work when needed.
While in Charleston performing these
duties, Mr.. S. S. Matthews, dispenser
at Charleston, failed to remit to the
state treasurer, as required by law. l
had adopted a rule, which requires
each dispenser who fails to remit dur
ing the week to be visited and inspect
ed, and under this rule MI. Matthews
statement was sent Nh. Brown, he be-
ing on the ground. The report OF the
settlement shows that on the 18th day
OF June Mr.. Brown made settlement
with Mr.. Matthews and found him
short 81, 64S.4v, AND received pay
Of that amount. This report was re-
ceiyed at this office on the 14tb; same
day Mr.. Brown reported to me verb
ally his misfortune, stating that he
had some other moneys in the lost
pocketbook belonging to the state
along with some Of bis own. To set
tie up MI. Browns account, we made
up 81, S24S7; M. Brown paid s242 90.
This amount was made up by my
friends and myself, not a cent being
contributed by any one not connected
with the institution; all voluntary; no
one being asked by me to contribute.
The. question OF bond did not enter
tne matter at all, as was advised by
the assistant attorney general, mas
much as the law did not impose the
duty to collect such money on me or
the inspector, that neither my bond
nor Mr.. Browns was liable for cent
OF the money. But the dispenser was
still liable on bis bond. The law pro.
vides that dispensers remit directly
5o the state treasurer. His receipt IS
the only legal discharge for them.
"It was entirely moral question
with me. I did not propose that the
state lose anything during my admin
istration by myself, or appointees.
The custom has been ever since there
has been an Inspector for him to col,
lect shortages, Authorized by the
board, as records will show. l have
however, since I found that they are
not responsible under their bonds for
any moneys collected, issued the fol-
lowing order, which records will also
show:
To Inspectors OF the South Carolina
Dispensary:
In making settlements with dis
pensers where there Is difference In
favor Of the state, do not accept that
difference in money, cut require dis
penser to make remittance to the state
treasurer, as required by law, either
by pcstofice order, express order, ex
press, OF certified check.
"'See that this is done and .tner
give them credit upon the presenta'
tion OF the receipt from one OF these
sources that the amount has been for
warded to the state treasurer.

TWENTY LIFE MAXIMs.
The Hish standad Adopted by the

The High standad Adopted by the
Late Thomas Davidson.
Thomas Davidson, Of the Adiron.
dacks, is dead, but he has left twenty
life msxims for those who may wish
to follow in his footsteps. These
msxims are:
!. Rely UPON your own energies, and
do not wait for OF depend on other
people.
2. Cling with all your might to
your own highest ideals, and do not
be led astray by su,h vulgar aims as
wealth, position, popularity. Be
yourself.
8. Your worth consists in what you
are and not In what ytu have.
What ycu are will show In what you
do.
4. Never fret, repine or envy. Do
not make yourself unhappy by COM.
pairing your circu instances with those
OF more fortunate people; but make
the most OF the opportunities yen
hs e. Employ proftably every mo-
ment.
5. Associate with the noblest peo--
pie you can find; read the best books;
live with the mighty. But learn to
be happy alone.
6. Do not believe that all greatness
and heroism are sin,the past. Learn
to diset YER princes, prophets, heroes
and saints among the people about
yon. Be assured they are there.
7. Be on earth what good people
hope 30 be in Heavsn.
s. Cultivate ideal friendships, and
gather into an intimate circle ali
your acquaintance who are hunger
ing for truth and right. Remember
that Heaven Itself can be nothing
but the intimacy Of pure and noble
souls.
9. Do not shrink from any useful or
kindly act, however hard or 1epel1ent
it may be. The worth Of acts is
measured by the spirit In which they
are performed
10. II the world despise yon be-
cause ytu do not follow its ways,
pay no heed to 1t. But be sure your
way is hight.
IL. II a thousand plans fall, be not
disheartened. AS long as your pur.
poses are right you have not failed. s
IL. Examine yourself every night,
and see whether you have progressed in
knowledge, sympathy and helpfulness
during the day. Count every day a
loss In which no progress has been
| made.
1s Seek employment In energy, not
in dalliance. Our worth Is measured
solely by what we do.
IA. Let not your goodness be pro-
fessional; let 1t be the simple, nat
ural outcome Of your character. There
fore, cultivate character.
Is. II you do wrong, say so, and
make what atonemect you can. That
is true nobleness. Eave no moral
debts.
l6. When in Doubt how to act, ask
y0urSelf, WnaG Goes n0blnty CON-
mand? Be on coed terms with your
self.
II. Look for no reward for goodness
but goodness itself. Remember heaven
and hell are utterly immoral inatu-
tions If they are meant as reward
and punishment.
18. GIVE whstever countenance and
help you can to every movement and
Institution that Is working for good.
Be not sectarian.
49,. Wear no placard, Within or
without. Be human fully.
20. Never be satisfied until you
have understood the meaning OF the
world, and purpose OF your own life,
and have reduced your world to a IA
tional cosmos.
