ONE ON THE JAcK-RABBIT.

1t is a we'll known fact that the
iack-rabbit Of the West is noted for
his heetness of foot. Two farmers,
at work in a cornfeld, were witnesses
of the following: A tramp was
chased by a farmers bulldog, and
sped across the fields at b~reakneck
speed, making for a narrow path in
the corn-feld, with the bulldog a close
second. Just as he reached the path
a jack-rabbit bounded out in front of
him, and he, too, started down the
path at topmost speed. When just
abreast OF the farmers, the tramp
shouted at the rabbit:
Get out OF the way, you darn little
fool. and let somebody run that
knows howl"

lady of pers onal beauty and charm,
but is one OF the most highly cultured
young teachers in the State.
The people of the Fork, as a rule,
tho heavy burdened with the rail-
road tax, make fair returns of their
property, and deserve the conmen-
dation of all good citizens for so doing.
They are prosperous, God-fearing
people, and never complain of ''haru
times''. Numbers of farmers are
holding, to their cotton for higher
prices. The railroad tax was occa-
sionallv discussed, and many Of the
tax payers are anxious to get rid of
the burden, so that they might share
in the general taxation. of the co anty,
as other sections.
Saturday found US at Brookland,
where we shared the abundant hospi-
tality OF Messrs. Ed Shull and 2. J.
Wessinger, whose good wives always
make us feel as much like home as
possible, and it is a genuine pleasure
to stop with them.
: The day was indeed a disagreeable
one, the rain falling in torrents all
the while. The merchants Of Brook
land have been hit hard by the money
% mic. as most of their trade comes
from the:mill hands, whose time has
been cut almost half on account OF
5tae mills being forced to run their
plants On less time. The employees
are feeling the panic, too, perhaps
more 50 than any other class of labor
ers.
The Mill CO.., has recently erected
well equipped reading room and hall,
for the use of tae different secret
orders of the place. The town now
has electric lights and many improve
ments are being made. Mr.. Ed Shull
has also erected large hall for the
accommodation of shows and other
amusements.
This ended our first week with the
auditor. This week we will be with
the good people of the Sand Hills,
where we expect to meet our friends
and fellow citizens. Hs * J

The establishment of a dispensary
stNorth Augusta by the Aiken County
Dispensary Board against the wishes
of the majority of the citizens OF that
town, was not in accordance with the
spirit of the Carey -Cothran law. The
legislature should see to it that the
dispensary be abolished at once.
Such tactics on the part of dispensary
boards has caused some OF the most
ardent admirers of the system to look
upon the law with shame and disgust.
Instead of decreasing drink, the fg-
ures show that the sale of whiskey, in
many of the counties, has been
almost doubled.

This is the general sentiment Of the

is the most feasible and satisfactory
course for our members of thel legis-

law should be changed; it can't be
worse than it is at present.

Tax Cases Decided in Favor Of
State. r

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE commits.
sioner of internal revenue, John G.
Capers, has decided the dispensary tax
case in favor of the State of South
Carolina and the taxes paid under
protest, amounting to S4,525, will be
refunded. This means not only this
amount saved to the dispensary, but
something like 100000. One payment
was made under protest and an appeal
taken from the decision of the collec-
tor to the commissioner of internal
revenue. After argument by council,
Commissioner Capers read all the doc
uments and briefs in the case and
made up his decision, which he gave
out today.-The State.

work and consequent inability TO get
the only thing that drew them TO this
Countrywide American dollar Their
failure to find work is not always be.
cause workers are not wanted where
they apply, but TO a growing aversion
in certain quarters TO non English
speaking help. Many employers are
convinced, after experience, that they
are not desirable as a commercial pro-
position. This is regarded by students
of the situation as one of the most i'm
portant factors in solving the immi-
grafton problem without the aid of
congress or restrictive laws. 1t is
estimated that more than half a mil
lion immigrants have left the country
in 1907. and that the coming year will
see this number doubled If this esti-
mate is well founded the outflow for
1905 will equal the thrush of 1906.

The cost of creosote is there relatively
high, yet by treating posts there is a
saving, with interest at 6 per cent. of
2 cents per pest yearly. More i'm
portant than the saving, however, is
the fact that through preservative
treatment other woods are fitted to
take the place of cedar, of which the
supply is rapidly becoming exhausted.
A detailed description of experiments
in preserving fence posts. together
with practical suggestions for treating
them on commercial scale, are con-
tanned i'll Circular III OF the Forest
Service. This publication can be OBJ
tanned upon application TO the
Forester at Washington.

FENCE POSTS MADE DURABLE.
Woods Given Sixteen Years Additional
Service by Preservative Treatment,
Says the United States Forest
Service.

Fence posts of many kinds of cheap
woods which ordinarily would soon
decay ii set in the ground can be
made TO last for twenty years by a
simple treatment with creosote. Most
of the so-called Inferior woods are
we'll adapted TO the treatment. and
this is especially true of cotton wood,
aspen, willow. sycamore, low grade
pines, and some of the gums. When
properly treated. these woods outlast
untreated cedar and oak, which are
becoming too scarce and too much in
demand for other uses TO allow of
their meeting the demand for fence
posts.
Impregnation with creosote has been
greatly cheapened by the Introduction
of the "open tank, - which can be
installed at cost of from $50 to $40,
or much less if an old boiler is used.
A tank with a bottom IL square feet
in area will suffice for treating 40 or
80 6-inch posts day. or double this
number when two runs per day can be
made. The absorption of creosote per
post is about as follows: Eucalyptus,
one-tenth gallon; willow, two tenths
gallon; sassafras. ash, hickory, red
oak, water oak, elm, and maple. four
tenths gallon; Douglas fir, quaking
aspen, and black walnut, tenths
gallon: sycamore, cottonwood, and
lodgepole pine, seven-tenths gallon.
The price of creosote is about 10 cents
per gallon in the East and Middle
West. l6 cents per gallon on the
Pacific coast, and p cents per gallon
in the Rocky Mountain States. The
cost of treating a post will therefore
vary from 1 TO 10 cents. Properly
treated, it shodld give service for at
least twenty years.
Experiments of the Forest Service
show that with preventative treat
ment the durability of lodgepole pine
in Idaho is increased sixteen years.

so. A case in point is the matter of
advertising, which today is athing of
necessity in the business world. Ii
you will notice it you will find that
the average business man in periods
of dizziness and financial depression
begins to retrench in the matter of his
expense account by curtailing his ad-
vertising. He does it because his father
did it and because he argues that he
can lop it off and restore it again
with less inconvenience than he can
other expenses. But if he will think
for a moment and weigh the matter
as cold business proposition involv-
ing dollars and cents he is bound TO
admit his retrenchment had best be-
gin at another point.
If advertising is good business
practice at any time surely it is most
when the people are buying
least, for if its object is TO attract the
purchaser and get him into the store.
there must be greater effort
expended in that direction when the
public is buying least. No matter
how severe periods of depression are.
and how stringent the money market
may he, the people will spend what
they must, and naturally they are at
such times more quickly attracted
oy the offerings of advertisers, as they
ire eager to have their expenditures
BRING the best results. -
