received by the State since the
1-mill increase to be 81, ,492,523-
76. The appropriations made
by the general assembly last year
for 1908 amounted to 81 100000
in round numbers. This leaves
a very large deficit, but fortu-
nately there are other sources OF
income that will make up a good
portion of this. The license fees
will, according to the estimate of
the comptroller general, made in
his report, amount to 500, 900; ;
the tax levied tor the support OF
the railroad commission to $40,
700; the income from the fish
cries commission to $40, 900; the
income tax to $4,000 and the
corporation license tax to $780,
900. The last named item ran
$4 900 over that estimate. The
interest on the money borrowed
this year, however, will amount
to about $4,000, so that theer
is a chance for the State coming
out about even and a chance for
deficit.

South Carolina this year is $271,-

Tree Frog a Weather Sh arp

AS6 q - SoShAOA Oil al ~
Few animals have survived
the attacks made by science up
on their reputation as weather
prophets. The green frog is a
CONSPICUOUS exception.
He is, to be sure, a croaking
prophet, but plenty of: people
will pm their faith to him.
Even so scientific journal as
Symon's Magazine has a kind
word to say of this little animal.
Here is picture of the frogs
ladder which is provided for
this weather prophet in Germany
and Switzerland. Iu many homes
the frog Is kept in bottle half fill :,
ed with water and provided with
a ladder, and the little fellow is
carefully watched as to his be-.
havior In uncertain conditions
of the atmosphere. A number
of weather maxims are based
upon his posture and activity.
If he remains on one of the
lowest steps of the ladder it is
considered q sure sign that bad
weather is coming. If he emer-
ges from the water and rests
upon the steps above it fine
weather may be expected, and
the higher he sits on the steps
the finer the weather is sure TO
be. He is also supposed to give
warning of bad weather by
croaking loudly before a storm.
7 The magazine says that there
is really some reason to believe
that the green tree frog is
somewhat experienced as re-
CARDS climatic conditions and
acts accordingly.
In fine weather he skips about
among the branches of trees
when at liberty, catching flies.
At the approach of winter
he seeks the water and finds
himself abed in the mud unit
the following spring calls him
out to resume his war on the
flies.
Now, the frog on the ladder
without doubt watches the
weather conditions keenly anG
rises to look out for flies wher
he circumstances seem favor
able. On the other hand, wher
the weather is cold and damn
he is reminded of winter and in
stinctively retires 10 bury hi

which he seeks at the bottom

Sheep and Goats.

CANNES and More Hogs,
Sheep and Goats.
Ed. The Lancaster News: This
year will soon be gone. The new
year will come bringingwith it the
county auditor taking tax returns.
I wonder if Lancaster county will
next year return like it did this
year-1779 dogs-a wonderful
return, and perhaps not all re
turned hen. Now to begin with,
a good dog in it's place is use.
full animal but trifling dog is
poor property. l fail to see why
our people will keep so many
dogs. / know of men who have
as many as six dogs and not a
hog. And if there was a hog
among that bunch of dogs it
&ld be poor little fellow
There was time when the big
woods was here and full of wild
game of almost all descriptions,
when a sporting dog would have
been useful, but that day has
passed and there is nothing for
the dog to do now Since the
country has been cleared up and
the wild game killed aud leaving
few partridges and few rab-
bits, the boys can catch them in
boxes. My boys get one nearly
every morning. One of my
neighbors caught Is rabbits last
winter in little skirt of pines
not over ] acre in size. The
partridges, we need all of them
and if we would quit raising so
much cotton, sow more wheat
and oats, we would have more
partridges and better ones. It's
not the amount of birds that is
killed with the gun that hurts,
but if a bird dog is allowed to
run at large on a farm during
the spring and summer months
he will destroy five times as
many birds by breaking up nests
and killing young birds before
they are able to fly than he will
before his masters gun in the
hunting season. Our Represen-
tatives ought to cut that bird
law down to two weeks, like it is
In North Carolina, because they
still slip over here and kill our
birds.
Now suppose our people woult
raise 1779. hogs in place of the
dogs-averaging 200 lbs each a.
10 cts, per lbs in pork, what {
nice profit to our people. AS
1T is, where is the profit?
l will venture to- say there are
not over 200 sheep in the count,
and not as many goats as sheep

Cost Of Railroads.

As an illustration OF what it costs to
build a railroad the following article
from the Sacramento Bee, regarding the
cost Of ties for the Western Pacific,
which is now in course of construction,
will be interesting:
Some idea OF the cost o; constructing
a railroad can be obtained from the
figures that have been given out here by
Western Pacific engineers with regard to
the number OF ties ed by that CON-
pan, in its 92s miles of track. 1t is
estimated that no less than 2,2l3,92O
ties have been used and that the total
cost is 81 400 goo. Ties hive been pur-
chased from Oregon as well rs from
various lumber c"mp unies in different
! parts Of superior CaIifor MIA. Owing to

ton at present ties are III great demm d.

Ruef committed no crime when they

with thousands OF dollars before they
were atle to procure licenses ~ carry ON
their business. The court nieo held
that Judge Dunno erred in permitting

holds the Indictment void on lLe ground
that IT does not charge the commission
Of an unlawful act. A license to sell

decision also affects Ruef, who plead
