A S required by statute my books
"A will be opened at my Office in
Yorkville on WEDNESDAY, JANU-
RY l, 1908, and kept open until FEB
RUARY 90, 1908, for the purpose Of
listing for taxation all TAXABLE
PROPERTY held in York County on
January !, 1908.
Returns made on proper blanks, and
sworn to before an officer qualified to
administer an oath and forwarded to
me by registered mail before Febru-
ary 20, 1908, will be accepted.
All taxpayers are particularly re-
quested to inform themselves as to the
number of their respective school dis
tricts, and where they have property
in more than one school district, they
will please make separate returns in
dicating the location of each piece Of
property. The school districts in
which there are special levies are as
follows: Nos. 13, 20 and 33 in Bethes-
da; Nos. 9, go and 40 in Broad River;
Nos. and 90 in Bullocks CreeR; No.
IL in Catawba; Nos. and 12 in Eben-
eZer; Nos. 26, 90 and 39 in Fort Mill;

THE WORLDS MATCHMAKING.
The Demand to Be Supplied Is Three
Million Lucifers a Minute.

The civilized nations of the world
strike 100000 matches every min
ute of the twenty-four hours. Nearly
one-half of these are ignited in this
country Americans use up the enor-
nous total of 100, 200, 100000 year
and have larger match bill than any
other nation in the world.
Hundreds of factories over the
country are engaged in this industry.
Some of the plants are very large,
one on the Pacific coast covering 240
acres, with 32 miles of railroad which
supplies the match machines with
100000 feet of sugar pine and yellow
pine logs day.
A statement Of the number Of GU
bic feet of wood which actually Is con-
verted into matches each year would
convey only an inadequate idea of
the number of trees required for the
industry. For the manufacture Of the
match the best grade Of wood is nee
essary. Sapwood, knotty or cross
grained timber will not do. This
makes it necessary to search the best
forests and pick out the choice trees
only, and nothing but the choice por-
tions of the choice trees go to the
match machines. 1t may be seen that
the lumberman sweeps over wide
area in search of suitable lumber to
feed into the match machines.
Seldom Is the little splinter tipped
with sulphur, or some other substance
to be ignited by friction, given even
scant mention in the consideration Of
the depletion Of the worlds finest
forests, yet the manufacturers of
these little fire sticks are as much
concerned over the timber supply
question as any other class Of men en-

finishing touch to ones education. and
4 person who could not talk intelli-
gently about it had no standing in po-
lite society.
Records kept at the Mammoth Cave
hotel from the time 1t was opened In
1887 show that while the place was be-
ing advertised in various ways the
number Of visitors was many times
what it is now, when the publicity pro-
mOter knows it not In 1874, for in
stance. when the population was less
than twenty millions, instead OF the
eighty-o odd millions of today, those who
came to see the natural curiosity num-
bered on an average ninety-three day
They travelled hundreds and thousands
of miles-for many crossed the Allan
tic to behold it. Sixty-One years later
i'm 1905-the average was less than a
dozen a day.
The public simply has been permit
ted to forget that Kentucky's Nam
moth Cave exists. The man who own
ed it died in 1869, and his thirteen heirs,
scattered all over the country, simply
devoted themselves to spending the in
come that they derived from the two
dollars a head admission fee. They
thought the financial stream would
keep on running without any expen-
diture on their part for advertising
They have been disappointed, of course
AS soon as the advertising was aban-
doned the people became Indifferent
about the cave, and finally 1t figured
no longer as one Of the great show
places of the world.
In the language Of the Philistine
caves are not necessary to human nap
piness until some man by astute ad-
vertising fills men and women with a
desire to see them. and when the ad-
vertising ceases the desire ceases also
Liberal advertising Is essential to
success. The story of the Mammoth
Cave of Kentucky is only one of thou
sands that prove the truth Of this.
And do not forget also, that when
there is a let-up in business the man
who advertises his wares more than
his competitor is going to get the or
ders and make money.-Paper Mill.

VIRTUE IN New MONEY.-A well
dressed young woman got on a Broad
way car going north at Twenty-third
street and handed the conductor a
shiny new half dollar. says the New
York Sun.
Amt you got a nickel or dime?
asked the conductor, but the young
woman only held out her hand for her
change. Reluctantly he handed her a
quarter and then he returned to the
rear platform, where he proceeded to
bite at the new coin. He wasn't sat
isfied and took out his knife to cut at it
The young woman began to get en-
barrassed and when the conductor en-
tered the car again she stopped him.
If you are not satisfied" said she
take the fare out of this" and she
handed him a s. bill.
Apparently much relieved the con-
ductOr gave her the new half dollar
md 1896 in change. At the next cor
ner the young woman got off. \ block
up the street the conductor remember
ed that she had not returned to him
The change he first gave her.
You'd better get familiar with new
money" said a passenger

ONE BAD BoY.-An iron hoop bounc-
ed through the rear ratings of subur-
ban lady's house recently and played
havoc with the kitchen window, says
the Philadelphia Record. The lady
waited, anger in her heart, and a
fighting light in her eye, for the ap-
pearance of the hoops owner. Pres
emily he came.
Please, I've broken your window
ma'am," he said, and 'ere's father to
mend it,
And sure enough, he was followed by
a stolid- looking workman, who at once
started work, while the small boy took
his hoop and ran off.
"Thatll be half dollar, ma'am,' an
nounced the glazier when the window
was whole once more.
Half a dollar!" gasped the lady
But your little boy broke it. The lit
tie fellow with the hoop, you know
You're his father, arn't you?'
The stolid man shook his head.
Don't know him from Adam" he
said. He came around to my place
and told me his mother wanted her
window mended. You're his mother
amt you?"
And the lady shook her head also.

Humorous department.
Colonel cIem's Commission.

Col. John L. Glen. assistant quarter
master general. the Drummer Boy or
Shiloh" was among the othcerS WHO
successfully passed Roosevelts htteen-
mile test of horsemanship at the Pres
idio last week. Col Clem does not
owe his equestrian skill to West Point
instruction, Of which so many othcers
boast. and the reason why he Is not q
West Pointer is worth relating. In the
early part of Grants first term Clen
obtained an audience with the pres
ident.
Mr. President" he opened the inter-
view. 81 wish to ask you for an order
to admit me to West Point"
why do you not take the eXamina-
tions?" questioned Grant.
81 did. but l failed to pass"
That was unfortunate. How did II
happen?"
why, you see, was in the war whlle
those other boys of my age were IN
school,"
Glenn was barely IS then and boyish
looking even for his years. he hau
made his own way to the president
and had no political sponsors to back
him.
What" exclaimed the president,
you were in the WARP"
Yes, I was in the war four years.
and Glenn related his experiences.
Grant wrote something which he
handed to the young applicant saying:
Take this to the secretary of war.
I guess it will fix you all right"
Glenn went back to the secretary OF
war, who had before received him so
coldly as to discourage any one not en-
dowed with unusual grit, and delivered
his note.
The secretary read it and asked:
DO YOU know what this is?"
NO" replied Clem. Il suppose 1t an
order t. admit me to West Point"
We'll, it isn't; it's an order to COM

gagged in an industry whose welfare
depends on the use of forest products.
1t might be supposed that because
matches are small the makers or them
would utilize scraps and leftoYers.
This Is never the case; matches are
not by-prOducts. The match machine
takes the finest timber and what IL re-
jects goes 10 the by-product end OF
the match business becomes the larg-
est end, so far as bulk is concerned.
Among the by-products turned out Dy
the large Pacific Coast factory just
mentioned are 1000 doors and 500
saShes daily.
AS q matter of fact, it would be i'm
possible to carry on the match DuSi-
ness at all at present prices II the tt-
iected lumber were no. worked into
something else. The room where the
matches are made is frequently the
smallest department Of match FAC
tory. The larger portions contain The
sawmillS.
Matches are m ,nufactured in many
ways and with numerous kinds Of MD.
chimes, and for that reason q descrip-
ton of an operation in one factory
would not apply to another. Nearly
every manufacturing company has
machinery made specially for It's use,
and covered by patents, and 1t also
employs processes discovered or de-
vised by its own chemists and me-

CALLED THIS PRESENCE OF MIND
Presence of mind was being discussed
by a group of guests in the lobby OF
the Baltimore hotel the other day, says
the San Francisco Call. Instances OF
great fires, where women rushed back
for their canaries and forgot their dia-
monds, were given and tales were told
of its cool display on battlefields and
on board laundering ships at sea- Then
the field extended to railroad wrecks
That reminded Leo Reinstein, chlet
clerk of the hotel, of a wreck he had
been in on the Southern Pacific about
three years ago.
BY the way, john" he said' turn
ing to one of the guests, you were In
that wreck, too, with your wife, weren't
you? There were plenty of demon
strations of presence Of mind there"

sponse. Presence of mind netted me
$4,000 damages"
Reinstein was amazed.

tically. Neither was your wife

ed my presence of mind" said the
guest. when 1 found neither of us
was hurt l kicked my wife in the face
