er. He would have II understood tha'
he has made his offers on what he
considers fair basis of values. II the
would-be purchaser, however, thinks
the prices asked are a little high, and
Is willing to pay lower price ne
should name 1t. Mr.. Poag claims that
he never ignores an offer that Is any
where within reason.
Among the acts passed at the recent
session Of the. general assembly was
one providing for the appointment by
the governor Of game warden in each
county. The duty Of the game warden
so appointed will be to report at each
term of court all violations Of the laws
for the protection Of game and insec-
tivorous birds. The game wardens
have no compensation save exemption
from jury and road duty, and as to
whether 1t will be practicable to Sc
cure efficient officials on this basis re-
mains to be seen. In the meantime,
however, the governor stands readyto
make appointments, and people inter-
ested will do well to take the matter
UP with their respective county dele
cations.
In q short time the emblems Of the
Southern Cotton association will be
distributed throughout, the southern
states. The emblem bureau. which
was established by President Harvie
Jordan several days ago, has let big
contract for buttons and stick pins
which will be sent all over the south.
Everybody who wears one Of the en-
blems will be known as a sympathizer
with the movement inaugurated by the
Southern Cotton association. These
emblems will be very attractive In de-
sign. B. Dixon Armstrong, who Is In
charge of the bureau, can be commu-
nicated with at 1920 Empire building,
Atlanta, Ga. and will send buttons to
those who make application. Mr.. Jor-
dan says that there is no better way
for the people of the south to show
their interest in the movement than
by wearing one Of the emblems, and he
advises that all the people who are IN
sympathy with the work undertaken
by the bureau get one as soon as pos

A correspondent ut Guthriesville,
sends THE ENQUIRER thirteen privilege
tax tags, which he says were taken
from a single sack Of guano in a car
load that arrived at Guthriesville last
Saturday. He goes on to say that
many other sacks in the car had at
tached from, Ave to ten tags each, and
Is unable to explain the circumstance
except In the possibility that the fer
tilizer companies either desire to be
very liberal toward. Clemson college,
or they desire, by the large use OF
tags, to create the impression of a
large use Of fertilizers. While some
of the fertilizer companies are very
smooth, no doubt we hardly think
that. this incident Is, Of any Importance.
Although therlaw contemplates the at
tachment Of privilege tax tag to
each sack Of fertilizers, as matter OF
fact some Of the shippers. content
themselves with merely throwing into
the cars as many tags as there are
sacks. 1t is probable that something
of this kind was done In this case. It
is quite certain that the companies
would not attach thirteen tags to one
sack II It had to pay rs cents for each
tag, and one tag would be sufficient.
Il has been called to our attention
that the article In the last issue OF
THE ENQUIRER, comparing agricultu-
raj methods Of today and those In
vogue in the past, with the old Steele
plantation as a text, might very well
be taken as q reflection on the former
owner of that property. The writer OF
the article assures US that he had no
such idea In his mind, and we are sat
isfied that he assures us correctly. As
a matter Of fact such a. reflection
would be unjust. While 1t is true that
the present owners Of the property are
working a most agreeable and remark
able Transformation, we must not lose
sight Of the fact that along with their
excellent methods, they have the ad-
vantage Of an element that has here
tofore been lacking-the necessary
cash with which to carry out their
plans as they desire. The former
owner of the property worked under
many disadvantages. including not
only a lack Of cash; but years Of agrt-
cultural depression, during which many
good farmers were. forced to acknowl-
edge failure. II anybody has construed
the article in question as reflection
we regret 1t very, much, and at the
same time we would not have this TAX
en- as in any way detracting from the
credit for the good work that is now
being prosecuted with such energy and
