CALHOUN COUNTY TROUBLES
Should Be a Warning to Voters In Pro-
posed Rutledqe County.

They are having a parrot and
monkey time in Calhoun county over
the alleged deceptive methods to Sc
cure the necessary vote to establish
Calhoun county with st Matthews
as the county seat, and already some
are talking about having another
election to disband Calhoun and 60
back to Orangeburg and Lexington
counties. st Matthews wanted to be
a county seat, land, from We can gath
er from the controversy, its advo-
Gates were rather liberal in handing
oat promises to the voters living out
side of st Matthews, but when the
war is over and the victory gained,
those who did the promising for st
Mstthews have been unable to deliy-
er, hence there is a bitter war being
waged to prevent bond issue to
raise the necessary funds to erect
public buildings.
THIS should be a warning Qr
friends in Sandy Grove. ~
lay no stress upon the +
those interested in enhanc,m
value of Lake City building
they want to become p' H.
new county we'll and good5 ~,y
should have this desire Ii 'm
any promise Lake City might Ike
about contributing the money for
public buildings. Then, too, if they
desire to 60 into the new county ,
they should not be deceived into the
belief that by arnexing themselves
to Rutledge they will escape their
proportion of Clarendon's bond issue.
T hey must know, if they vote them
selves into Rutledge, by doing so
they also consent to be taxed for
public buildings in both counties,
voting upon themselves double tax,
whereas Lake City and the other
portions of the territory going to
make Rutledge county will not have
to be double taxed, because Williams
burg has no bonded debt, and they
will only have to pay the single tax,
but Sandy Grove township is in
Clarendon, where there is bonded
Indebtedness, which makes Sandy
Grove necessarily part of the con-
tract,and bound to it for forty years,
with no chance of escape. But if
Sandy Grove is willing to take upon
herself an additional taxation for
public buildings in Rutledge, it is
all right with US, especially since they
do it with thei: eyes open.
Our object in discussing this mat
ter is prompted by a desire to keep
Clarendon iutsct, also to keep our
Sandy Grove friends from becoming
ensnared into a trap as the people Of
Calhoun were, and when too late re-
gret having voted themselves into

EVENTS OF INTEREST
AROUND HARPERS.
EXPRESS OFFICE RE0PENED-HARPERS
SAYS NO CONSOLIDATION WORK
or GEORGETOWN CHAINGANG.

Harpers, July 5:-The Fourth of
July being on Sunday, everything
passed off quietly at this place. On
Saturday night, the 3rd inst, there
was considerable display of fire
works on the streets by the young
people. Sunday was enjoyed by all,
being an ideal cool day for the Sea-
son. Watermelons were plentiful, and
everyone seemed to enjoy the first
melons of the season.
By the way, Mr. Editor, the great
vital question that so much concern
ed our people has been forever set
tled-that of joining our town and
Rosemary together. Our freeholders
have Just fatty refused to ask the
town of Harpers to order an election
on this subject, SO our beloved town,
Rosemary, has lost out in its effort
to join our towns. Still we hope to
see Rosemary incorporated to herself
and grow and flourish like the green
bay tree by the waters edge.
Our express office at this place
was ordered to be discontinued on
June 80, 1909, but by the untiring
efforts Of our people aud the Intend
ant of the town Of HarperS, the Of
fee will be continued as before. We
textend our thanks generally to Su-
periutendeat Buckuer of Whining
ton, N c, for this courtesy shown
our people, also Route Agent J +
Woford deserves much credit for
his efforts. This Office was ordered to
be removed to Rosemary. We are
glad to announce to the public that
our express Office will still remain at
Harpers; also a rural delivery mail
route will go GU: from Harpers COW
ering 20 mile territory with about
100 families to be served. This will
prove great saving of time to our
country people and is a much needed
convenience to the people of this
part of the county.
Mr. j B Jon nson, the Georgetown
county supervisor, has two road ma
chimes with II mules attached
thereto now at work in the town of
Harpers. His most competent super
intendent, Mr. 0 W Matthews, is do
ING some much Deeded work here ID
town. He is one of the best road
builders in the State, and his work
will show for itself. The town will
have several streets graded and all
of our public roads put in fine shape.
Mr. Matthews has already done some
work here that will be remembered
for years to come. We have some
roads over in old Williamsburg coun-
ty that certainly need attention and
our people are becoming impatient,
but we hope our time will come.

Sees Mother Grow Young.

1t would be hard to overstate the
wonderful change in my mother since
she began to use Electric Bitters, writes
Mrs. W. L. Gilpatrick of Danforth, Me.
Although past 70 she seems really to
be growing young again. She suffered
untold misery from dyspepsia for 90
years. At last she could neither eat,
drink nor sleep. Doctors gave her ur
and all remedies failed till Electric
Bitters worked such wonders for hel
health" They invigorate all vital organs

Pastures for Hogs.

Pastures for Hogs" is the title of
bulletin just issued by the Missouri
State Board of Agriculture. In an in
troductory to this bulletin, which was
prepared by F. G. King, live stock as
sistant for the board, Secretary George
B. Ellis writes as follows:
Missouri is one of the leading
states in the Union in the production
of hogs. According to the report of
the State Labor Commissioner, there
were shipped from the state during the
year 1908 3,878,863 head. It is esti-
mated that there were consumed on
the farms and locally, during the year.
Estimated upon the basis of values
during the part few weeks, these hogs
are worth in the markets approximately
70 millions of dollars. In addition to
this amount, there were on the farms
probably 10000 head of hogs used
for breeding purposes, valued at con-
servative estimate, 9 millions of dol
lars, making total valuation for the
hogs produced in one year, including
those on hand for breeding purposes,
s7o, 900, ,ooo."
In the preparation of this bulletin
Mr.. King made a very thorough in
vestigation, and secured reports from
several hundred Of the leading hog
raisers of the state. Summaries OF

Come and camp on the ground the en-
tire three days, and have three days
of solid enjoyment and pleasure. The
beautiful park, splendid water and the
excellent order that has been main
tanned at former reunions has caused
thousands to attend the Golden City
reunion in past years and they will do
so this year. Splendid orators will de-

these reports are given, together with
tables showing the results of hog-feed-
ing experiments conducted at the Mis-
souri Agricultural Experiment Station.
The farmer who raises hogs, and
this includes almost every Missouri
farmer, will find in this bulletin valu-
able information of practical rather
than of a theoretical nature. The
table of contents shows. Pasture for
Spring Pigs Bluegrass Compared
with Clover and Alfalfa for Pasture"
Bluegrass and Timothy for Hog Pas
ture," Feeding Spring Pigs on Blue
grass and Timothy Pasture" and al
most a score of other subjects, in
cluding discussions of the figures on
cowpeas, rape, oats, sorghum, pump
kins, soy beans, and artichokes
as hog pastures. A. comprehensive
table shows the time to sow the diff
ferent crops for hog pasture, ami gives
the number of hogs that can be pas
lures on the differerent forage crops.
There are in this bulletin several
very attractive pictures of hogs on the
different kinds of pasture. One pic
ture shows little girl out in pas
ture where two sows with litters of pigs
by their sides are enjoying the grass.

her arm, is looking at the fine fat

MISSOURI POINTERS.
Timely Comment on the Course of tate Affairs.

generally approved by the press of the
state. He favors home rule for the
cities, but contends that the governor
should have the power to compel the
enforcement of law and the preserva-
ton of order in case the rulers Sc
lected in the cities fail or refuse to do
their duty. The people are with him
on that proposition.
The election in Kansas City gave
the first opportunity to city voters to
express themselves on the proposition
to let local authority absolutely control
in granting dranshop licenses and con-
trolling saloons. The verdict is de-
cisive and gratifying. It means that
the intelligent people of one of the
great cities of the state are not willing
to let municipal administration use
the saloon and similar elements for
political purposes. The Republican
idea is to minimize the political power
of the saloons and the brewery, while
treating those engaged in the liquor
business as citizens to be respected or
rejected on their personal merits, and
permitting them to do business just as
the people in each separate locality
may determine, and as the Legislature
may provide. The Republican party
is opposed to using or dominating the
saloon vote for partisan political pur-
poses.
Speaking of the result of the cleo
ton at Kansas Citp, Governor Had
ley said:
The issues presented were clearly
defined as to whether the people de-
sired to have the licensing and regula-
ton of the saloons of Kansas City left
in the charge of Mr.. Middlebrook and
Mr.. Marks, whom I had appointed as
members of the board of police COM
or given to men appointed
by the present mayor. The people
have by their votes left no question as
to how they felt upon this subject and
I appreciate the expression of their
in my appointees.
The result of this election is also
a splendid vindication OF the position
taken by the Republican members of
the legislature and myself that no
form of home rule should be adopt
ed that did not provide proper safe
guards for the enforcement of the laws
regulating dramshops. But the fact,
that the election was, through the ac-
tive efforts of the police, freer from
fraud and illegal voting than any cleo
ton that has been held in Kansas City
for years is to me a greater satisfac-
ton than the result itSelf'

Southern Democratic protectionists as
well. The tariff question should be
closed in the near future for years to
come, and we should enter upon a
reign of progress such that our past
records will not equal.
During the conference Mr.. Taft has
been in daily consultation with the
conferees, and there seems to be no
question that he will promptly sign
the bill when it reaches him. The
joint resolution submitting an amend
ment of the Constitution providing for
an income tax will now go to the
States for ratification, and must be
adopted by the legislatures of three
fourths of the States to become eff
fectivc. 1t is too early to predict the
outcome, but it looks as if the PROPOSE
ton might not be successful, and
should this prove 10 be the case the
question of an income tax in this
country will probably be dead for
many years to come. Should the rev.
enue from the new tariff law be suf-
fcient there would of course be no
need of an income tax, but the con-
tention has been made that such a tax
should be made constitutional to pro-
vide for an emergency income in case
of war or other critical times. The
corporation tax, if finally put at l
per cent, will provide a good many
and with the increased du-
ties upon tobacco and prosperous con-
dition throughout the country, it is
believed sufficient revenue will be had
from the bill without resorting to any
other direct taxation.
However satisfactory or unsatisfac-
tory the new law may be to the pub
lie at large, it will not be denied that
in its framing and passage there was
inquiry and the most COM
plete discussion that has taken place
in connection with any tariff legisla-
ton in our history. 1t is the produc- |
ton of the best wisdom and judgment
Of the majority of the Republican party
in both Houses, and it should be ac-
cepted by all, and what changes have
been made should at once be adopted |
to every business.
The strongest feature of the new
law will be its administrative provi-
sions, and it is believed that the under
valuations that have heen going on
for so many years, depriving the
Treasury of millions upon millions of
revenue will be largely corrected by
the new law This is not only as it
should be, but carries with it large
measure of protection in itself. While
foreign nations may not get particular
out of our new tariff
still they should not find
any fault, and should concede that it
is our privilege and duty to legislate
for our own people and not for COM
petitors.

School Notes.

Furnished by Howard A. Gass, State Sup
erintendent of Schools.
The law does not authorize the en-
dorsement of teachers certificate from
another county or state. The Legis-
ture repealed such authority in 1901,
and enacted a section prescribing a
penalty for issuing certificates except
on examination. This is not an opin-
ion of anyone, but the law. The State
Superintendent of Public Schools has
no authority to grant permission to en-
dorse certificates or to prohibit it. The
whole matter is governed by statute.
The ninetieth day after adjournment
of the Legislature falls on Sunday,
August 18th. The law providing for
county supervision of schools will take
effect Monday, August 10Th, and the
county superintendents can qualify un-
der it on or after that date by fling a
bond, taking the oath and receiving
new commission. The salary of the
county superintendent of schools is
based on the population of the county.
The convention of county superin-
tendents of public schools will meet
in Jefferson City, Tuesday, August 10,
1909. This is Missouri Day, the
88th anniversary of her admission to
the Union, an appropriate time to
hold an important educational meet
ing. This convention will continue
in session five days. Many prominent
educators will be present and join in
the discussions.
The new law provides that the
county superintendent of schools shall
hold an educational meeting just
prior to opening of the schools. 1t
has been suggested that unless con-
ditions make an other date preferable,
this meeting be held August 25th and
Doth. Questions relating to organi-
cation, grading and classification of the
schools, course to study, records and
reports should be fully and freely dis
cussed at these meetings.
Unless there are local reasons for
the selection of different date every
school in the county should open on
the same day. Monday, September
9th, has been named as suitable date.
State Superintendent of Public Schools
Howard A. Gass has designated Satur-
day, September 4th, as Cleanup
Day. for all schools. Boards, patrons
teachers and children are strongly
urged to meet at the school house at
9 o'clock a. m. and join in general
house and yard cleaning; scour the
floors, windows and wood work; put
out buildings, fence and grounds IN
order and above all, provide pure,
wholesome drinking water. 1t is
good time for teacher, patrons and
pupils to get acquainted.
