County Treasurer's Notice.

County Treasurer James L. Minis
publishes the annual notice to the
of the county. The only
general increase is one-fourth of a
mill to pay the interest on the mon
ey borrowed from the Sinking
Fund. There is an enormous in
crease of fifteen mills in portions of
Blocker and Pine Grove townships
for the purpose of paying the inter-
est and a portion of the principal
OF the railroad bonds that were
fastened upon the people in the
'8O's. Citizens in these two town
ships who paid taxes on say $1,000
worth of property last year will
have to plank down sl5 additional
this year. They can stamp their feet
and say unprintable words but the
highest courts have said that the
property in these townships, or at
least that portion affected BY the
bonds, is liable for this debt and it
must be paid. The Advertiser joins
with these taxpayers in their lamen-
tations, for the writer Indirectly
shares the calamity.

3 to 6 inches. We lined the land
this time and worked it well into
the soil with a disc harrow, The
land was then logged and left until
sufficient rain had fallen to get it
we'll settled. Then the fertilizers
were distributed broad cast and
worked in, after which the land was
leveled and 30 pounds of seed soak
ed in bug juice sown broad cast
and narrowed in with an acme
harrow. Except in some small patch
es, the stand was perfect, and we
have fairly succeeded, having cut
about 23 tons from the patch. But
now while just upon the eve of sue
cess another trouble looms up; one
which we possibly might have
avoided had we followed the paths
of some OF those more experienced
in the business. Crab grass is an in
ternal, external, eternal and ever
lasting enemy to alfalfa antil ad-
vanced hey ond the experimental
stage. Our next cutting will be
pretty well adulterated, and we are
going to take the advice orr grand
father once gave Mr.. John Smyly
when the alfalfa enemy invaded his
potato patch, which, was TO move
the potatoes to another patch. If
such advice was good before we
were born, it seems to us, that it
would be just as good afterwards.
We have carefully prepared and
lined another patch and will sow
Just as soon as the land is dry
enough with inoculated seed. The
late Mr.. Clark, of Higganem, Conn.,,
who produced more hay to the acre
than any man in the east, advised
disking after each cutting, as a
means keeping Objectionable grasses
out Of alfalfa. We shall in future
adopt this practice and will never
use any unfermented stable manures
on alfalfa land.
Alfalfa is worth working for, and
there are thousands who are max
| ing a success of it, though it is es-
tinlated that l9 out of 90 who try
it became discouraged and abandon
it's cultivation. 1t is certainly a most
desirable crop to grow. 1t comes in

Turkey Creek on Boom. Two
Fine Mules Nearly Drown
ed. Negro Boy Deserves
Hero Medal.

The dry spell has at last been
broken, but too late to benefit the
crops. There must have been very
heavy rains above here, Thursday
night. Turkey creek rose very high
Friday and ruined nearly all the
corn in the low grounds. We had
a slow gentle rain and had 70 idea
that it would put the creek out of
the banks. else some of the corn
could have been saved before the
creek got over it.
| have heard that some parties had
no corn planted except on the bot
toms. This looks strange, knowing
how uncertain or, treacherous Tur-
key creek is. Some had their pea vine
hay cut and stacked Oh the bot
toms and it was all washed away.
Mr.. A. L. Brunson came very
near losing pair of good mules in
Beaver Dam. He sent two negro
boys to the saw mill for q load of
lumber and they had to cross the
creek in the plantation. They saw
that the creek was up, but as it
hadn't rained very hard here,
thought Of course they could cross.
As the boys drove in, the water
washed them down stream. The
driver took his knife and hung TO
the mules and went to cutting. He
held on to them until he cut them
loose from the wagon, and even got
the brides off, although the water
was ten feet deep and very swift
and the whole business" was going
down stream. He displayed good
Judgment and grit" The mules
took down stream. Mr.. Brunson
(who had got there by this time)
and several negroes following him
they went down stream about
mile and got out. The next day he
went down and found his wagon
and most of his harness and got it
out.
While one of the boys was, swim
ming for lifesto get out and the, 9th
er was doing all he could to save
the mules, No. called to the 9th
er, to not to get careless and drap
his knife in de creek"
The dry weather and high winds
have caused all the August cotton
crop to fall off which has not left
much on the stalk. The farmers in
the clay get more August than July
crop.
There will be more corn made in
this community than for several
years but it is cut off considerably
on account of the drought, and the
corn being planted late. This has
not been good corn year" with
us.

GIvETARIFF scHEDuLEsA CHANCE

PRESIDENT TAFT is very frank to
discuss the tariff revision with the
people on his western trip and his
frankness has disarmed much criticism
and is centering public opinion on the
proposition that time will be the best
test of the tariff, and if time does not
justify the presidents estimate then a
line Of criticism will be directed
toward its weak points.
In connection with the tariff comes
that further evidence of the presi-
dents attitude, the personnel of the
tariff board. The high tariff advo-
Gates are commenting critically on the
fact that the majority of the member
ship is out OF joint with the demand
for high protective tariff. If the board
represents his attitude toward revision.
as some of his western speeches in
dictate, then it can be asserted that
following test that proves it's insult
fency the president is looking to
another revision through the recon-
mendations of the tariff board. Lew
