Enormous Tag Tax.

The amount of the privilege tax
is climbing up close to the $1YO,000
mark, and if the checks come I in for
the next few days of this month as
they have been during the last two
weeks, that astonishing record will
have been reached. There was a
lot of talk last year that the enor-
nous sales of fertilizers, as indicated
by the receipt Of privilege tax, dis
proved the claims of the cotton as
sociation as to reduced acreage.
However, another view of the mat
ter may be taken and it may be as
cribed to the planting of increased
acreage in grain and other crops that
such a volume OF commercial fertili-
zer was put on the market. The
sales of the year 1904 exceeded any
previous year by $4,000 and now
the sales for 1906 exceed the sales
for the same time in 1904 by $13,-
043.38. The total amount sold in
the year 1904 was $118,000 while up
to December 18th of this year the
sales have been $l27,257.78.
1t is believed that there is an
other reason for the marked increase
in the amount of fertilizer sold. The
Legislature has required that cotton
seed meal be taxed. 1t had been
taxed before as fertilizer, but not as
a food-stuff, and great many people
would buy it for feed for the cattle
and would use it for fertilizer. This
is what caused the Legislature to
take action taxing the meal when
bought even for cattle feed.
1t can hardly be realized that the
income from this tag tax was but
100000 when it was started ten
years ago and that it has increased
100000 year. The rate of tax
is 25 cents on every ton of CONNER
cial fertilizer. The farmers claim
that they have to pay the tax, that
the 35 cents is added into the SELL
ing price of the man ufactured pro-
duct, but it is questionable if the
doing away with the tax would get
the farmers fertilizers at any better
price.-Columbia State.

In Behalf OF Childhood.

In the Southern tates there are
10000 children, from six to sixteen
years of age, working in the cotton
mills alone. They have little holiday,
even at this season, and the working
day is twelve hours in most of the
States. Many of these little ones
work at night.
The National Child Labor Com
mittee, organized little over year
ago, has already succeeded in secur-
ing laws for the better protection of
the toiling children in twelve of the
States. Our Southern States are
behind the others in this humane
legislation. Some of them have no
laws at all, and no enforcement of
the laws they have.
In the meantime the very strength
and vigor of our pure Anglo-Saxon
stock is being sapped by this system
of working the little children. And
the children can make only the mute
appeal of their helplessness to be de-
livered from this slavery.
The National Committee, on which
there are twelve prominent Southern
men, has established a Southern
office in Atlanta, Ga, with a South
ern man in charge. Funds are
needed for the legitimate expenses
of the legislative campaigns now in
prospect. Every dollar given by
Southern people will be expended to
protect the little children of the
South from the fearful consequences
of too early toll.
In the name of Him who was born
a little child, and who loved the lit.
tie children, this appeal is made at
this sacred season for this sacred
cause. In the happiness of your
children, think of the little workers
at the looms and among the spindles.
Contributions may be sent to Ma
tional Child Labor Committee, Room
6O4, Century Building, Atlanta, Ga.
In behalf of the children; in the
name of the Christ Child.

Negro Man Wins $500 Piano.

1t was George Golding talking,
and he was black as the ace of

"Berdam, boss, eff it amt the fust

l gyne to do wild it ?''

for cash purchase, and George took

lives near Brandon, and he got the
ticket Saturday from Felton's.

ever possessed before at any one

press agent on the canal commission,
Tillman said that Bishop was per-
sonsl friend of Roosevelt and that
no matter what action was taken by
the Congress Bishop will get soft
berth somewhere. In this connec-
tion it will be interesting to note in
dispatches the information that
Roosevelt has appointed Bishop a
member of the canal commission at a
salary aggregating the amount he.
previously received. Senator Till
man said that the matter of the
press agent was so unusual that
even the influence of the President
could not deter the Senate from
taking definite steps. The Senator
gave the impression that he believ 4
that Roosevelt will, at all hazards,
provide good jobs for his friends.
"Bishop to Roosevelt is an alter
ego," said Tillman with emphasis
which seemed to indicate that the
fight on Bishop was not yet ended.
When the Senator was asked as
to the action of Congress in the
matter of the examination of the
national banks, he said that as it had
come out in the insurance investiga-
tions that there had been contribu-
tions made to the Republican cam
paign fund many thought it wise to
see if the national banks had hand
in the matter. AS the men in the
banks who are Democrats were at
that time "Gold Bugs" and endeav-
oring to defeat Bryan it was folly to
look to them for any information
and the only way that this could be
arrived at would be through COM.
mittee appointed by Congress. This
was the reason, said the Senator, for
the move for the examinations of the
banks and he thought that the mat
ter would have some attention after
the Christmas holidays.

Three Men Killed by Train.

Spartanburg, December 2S.-In
the twinkling of an eye three men
were instantly killed near the Braw-
ley street crossing of the Southern
Railway tracks in the city limits
Tuesday morning at s O'Clock, being
run down by passenger train No. 36
from Atlanta.
The dead are M. d. Hill and Rich
ard Rogers, cotton mill operatives,
and j. r.. Stone, mail carrier at
Enoree. A fourth man with the
party escaped injury.
-Four men were standing on the
east track watching passing freight
and with lightning dash the second
train bore down upon them from
around the curve, a short distance to
the south. The bodies of the men
were horribly mutilated, Hill's re-
mains being crushed beyond recog-
milton and parts being distributed
along the track for so yards.
Hill had on his person tax re-
ceipts from Pelzer, and it is thought
that he had been in mills there pre-
vious to coming to Spartanburg.
Rogers was son of Rev. Mr..
Rogers, former pastor at Whitney.
The young man was 18 years of age
and worked in Saxon mills.

are good in their way, but they are
not among the prominent factors of
the business world. We cannot long
continue a thing of this kind with
the passing of resolutions and open
pledges.
We must put up our stuff in 8
tangible form by placing our cotton
absolutely in the hands of our county
agents, and each and every man that
has anything to do in this matter
must be paid stipulated price for
his labor, and be compelled to give
sufficient bond to insure safety to
owners of cotton in hand.
All good farmers ought to know
that he reaps that which he sows,
aud naturally cheap man usually
does cheap work; ; we must employ
our best men who are competent to
do our work, and then pay for that
work at current rates, or we cannot
hold our hands up against the pres
snre of our striving business men of
to-day.
In our attempts at organizing far
mers we should not be discouraged if
we do not succeed in getting all the
good farmers in each section in
fact, in order to accomplish our
work we don't need one fourth of
them to get control of enough cot
ton to demand profitable price and
get it. Our experience-in senti-
mental way.-during the last two
years ought to drive it into the
minds of every farmer in the South
that all the farmer has to do in order
to get justice in anything is to line
themselves up in business-like form
and make demand for fair deal,
and they will get it every time.
Convince the farmer that there is
sure money in holding his cotton
through an organized business plan
and the men you need will
flock to it like flies swarm over sweet
molasses.
The farmer that hasn't the nerve
or business sense to see through this
organized effort you don't need him
in it, for the simple reason that a
natural born fool will continue to
act fool, and such men are not
wanted in our organization.
1t does not take philosopher or a
prophet to see what profitable prices
to the producer of cotton has done
for the South during the last two
years. 1t is plainly written out on
the whole face of the earth in our
Southland.--from the Rio Grande to
the James Rivers-so plainly that he
that runs may read prosperity in
every business all over the South.
1t ought to now be plain TO every
business man in the South that .pro-
fitable prices to the producer of cot
ton is like the philosophers stone, it
turns everything into gold that it
touches, while Improbable prices for
cotton drags down every business of
the South like a loathsome contagious
disease drags down the life of men.
