Who MAY VOTE In


day of February of the year in which
he offered to vote, whether he had
been assessed or not.
Many citizens entertained the idea
that one could not be delinquent I'M
less the tax had been assessed against
him, but a careful perusal of the law
will show that the statue assess the
poll tax on all male citizen of the age
of 81, and provided that in order to
be entitled to vote one must have
paid. within the time provided by law,
all taxes required of him-not as
sessed or charged to him.
In view of the fact that the law
assesses the tax on all male individ-
uals of the age of Fl years, it would
not seem that the failure of tax as
SCISSOR to levy the assessment would
excuse the individual or remove the
obligation provided by law.

whose outer doors opened on the same
landing. AS soon as he had finished
an air Bizet would hasten to submit it
to his neighbor, who subjected it t"

the composers apartments. One night
Bizet finished Il dramatic bit in which
he fattered himself he had success

and showed but moderate enthu-

the cause of this GOODNESS.
Its good, admit" said Halevy.
"In fact, it's too good 1t lacks move
ment; it lacks snap---in short, it's not
popular enough"
Not popular enough" shouted the
piqued composer. DO you want to
write for the slums?" He went out in
a huff, but soon relented and in an
hour returned with another air. Ills

toreador idea written down to your

song of the toreador and the only one
which on the first night received an
encore and seemed to move the first
night audience from it's torpor.

There are u lot of silly proverbs
knocking about. Take. for instance.
If pigs had wings they would fly"
Now this Is absurd IL you like. Do
you know what sized wings pig
weighing eighty pounds would require
In order to fly? They would measure
about thirty yards from tip to tip. A
nice state Of things to keep pigs in an
aviary with wings of that size. The
proyerb would run much better:
II pigs could fly
Pork would be high.

get out of a difficulty. The clerk of a
parish in England whose business 1t
was to read the first lesson in the
church came across the chapter In

BREAD WITHOUT FLOUR.


earisian Process by Which Whole
Wheat Grain Is Used.
Partisan bread is made without four
In a machine that transforms the
wheat into dough. The machine con
sists mainly of large screw turning
loosely in Il case on whose inner sur
face is screw thread running in an
opposite direction.
Between the main threads on the
cylinder are smaller threads, and the
depth of the groove grows progressive
" smaller from one end to the other,
10 that it will hold the entire wheat
grain as it enters the machine and
wheat at the exit.
The wheat is prepared by a thor
ough washing. after which about a
pint of tepid water to pound of grain
is added, and the whole is allowed to
stand about six hours. At the end of
this time the grains of wheat have
swollen to double their ordinary size
1t is then mixed with the yeast and
salt and poured into the machine. 1t
falls between the threads of the NOV
ing screw and of the fixed contrary
screw, WHICH simultaneously crush the
envelope and body of the grain, max
ing of them a homogeneous mixture
which forms a smooth paste.
Bread obtained by this process con-
tains succession of holes whose size
increases as they approach the crust,
which is thin. The odor given off is
most agreeable and far more pronounc-
ed than that of ordinary bakers bread

CITY OF PARIS IN DARKNESS.
Gay French Capital Lighted Only by
Pickering Candles.

Paris. Jan. 30.-While the most
imminent peril Is over, the fall OF
the Seine since yesterday morning
has measured only 15 "a inches. At
this rate 1t would require a fort
night for the river to reach Its nor
NAL level. Fortunately, tidings from
the flooded sections above Paris give
hope Of more rapid subsistence al
ter tomorrow.
In the meantime the situation in
Paris and in many places throughout
the country shows little improve
ment. Indeed, the ravages Of the
flood within the city seemed actually
to increase to-day. The water was
higher in some Of the streets, while
the situation at the inundated towns
between Paris and ST. Germaine was
distinctly graver
Tonight the city was plunged in
darkness, relieved only by the camp
fires Of the soldiers at the waters
edge or the fickering torch Of some
floating sentinel.
The Champ Elyses, ordinarily a
pathway Of brilliant light, tonight
had hand lanterns strung along the
curbs The usually gay boulevards
were wrapped In silence and dark
ness and the restaurants and cafes
were reduced to dim candles and ye-
nitian lamps.

MIR. AII<EN'S NEW BILL.

We have before US a copy Of Hon.
Wyatt Aiken bill (FIousc Resolu-
ton 19557,) which If passed will be
calculated to make the District Of
Columbia "as dry as a bone" The
document Is entitled "A Bill to Pro-
hibit the Sale of Intoxicating Liquors
in the District Of Columbia"
It forbds the sale Of liquor by any
person, company, corporation, asSo-
citation. cUb or co-partnership in the
District except licensed druggists,
who can sell only on Il physicians s
certificate, which must be bona fide,
and with numerous restrictions, or
upon certificate by an officer Of a
church who makes appli> stion for
wine for communion purposes
If Mr. Aiken's bill passes and be-
comes law, the District Of Columbia
will be under the operation of a pro-
bihjtion law that is as near ideal as
any We have heard Of. The tendency
toward prohibition IS widening daily.
and with the National Capital under
y strict temperance rule. the move
mcnt may be expected to spread more
rapidly and eventually penetrate to
every nCol. and corner Of this coun-
ty.
Other bills Of similar import have
bccn introduced. but so far all have
met their fate in the death room
of the National Congress. We hope
10 see Congressman Aiken's bill pass
and become law. II is admirably
Tanned, and carries with it in every
pU UfuOSc.

1'lIAT WILL HE DO WITH IT .

What will the Oconcc farmer do
with his acreage this year? That is
a question upon the answer to which
mnch will depend next fall. The Oco-
nee farmer last fall made the most
satisfactory answer to this question
shat has been made for years. The
fall answer to this important qucs-
ton was the sowing Of small grain,
and it is variously estimated that
Ccnnee's small grain acreage is from
40 to 60 per cent greater than ever
before SOwn.
This in itself contains much Of
proiH.sc for good. for every acre now
in wheat and oats must be eliminated
1rom calculations for cotton crop.
when the grain is harvested 1t will
Nc TOO late for cotton to be planted.
Bnt there are lying open to-day too
many acres to be planted in cotton.
The corn crop of Oconce for 1910
ought to be double that raised in
a909. Oconcc will not have raised
rs not car OF Western corn shipped
within her borders and even then
Nor crop may still be increased with
Gtntlt, for there will be sections r
corn, and they might as well be sup
piled from the fields Of Oconee and
nppcr Carolina AZ from the West.
i,nt every farmer figure this out
fnf himself: How many bushels OF
corn will | need for my family. my
tenants, my stock and my tenants
stock? How many bushels can I
y:tise per acre. When these two
questions have been answered he can
safely add to his corn acreage a fair
percentage Of increase to allow for
mishaps, droughts or excessive rains,
and some for the production Of corn
10 sell in tn" following spring 1t will
he infinitely better TO have the cot
ton acreage even smaller than is alb
sOlntcly necessary than to have the
corn acreage too small to produce the
~orn needed for home use.
Figure these things down in your
Business OF farming just as the mer-
chant figures closely on what he can
Aispnsc Of proftably. The successful
Mmrchant doesn't ovcrstock hims If
son one line OF goods to the neglect Of
Others; the successful farmer doesn' t
oWJstock himself on cotton and buy
FROM he West what he could on his
'own land raise for less than he has
TO pay for 1t.
Put your farm on business basis,
and it will pay You az handsome divi-
dlcnds in return as the average busi-
mess In other lines.
This should also be a gulde-post
aOr a larger corn acreage: Oconee
raised corn Is now bringing $1.IO per
bushel CASH on the Walhalla mar
Aet. You can figure out what the
dure-price will be.
