RUNNING ON
 BORROWED FUNDS

Little Rock, Feb 3. 3.-The Legis- lature is running on a fund of S90, 1000 that was borrowed from the sinking fund at the beginning of the session, there being noth- ing available in the general reve- nue fund. For the first time since the period following the war, the states finances had reached rock bottom, and it became necessary to devise ways and means of meeting the deficit. The first concern was to provide for the salaries of the law makers them. selves. At the same time the S9O,OO was borrowed, there was an appropriation of $20O,OOO for the mileage and per diem of the mem bers. When the $9o,0OO is exhausted, some other plan must be adopted, and it will be adopt ed. The Ways and Means Com mittee will find the ways and means. Outside of the legislative expense, the other departments of the state government are rock ing along after fashion, no one appearing to feel any alarm over the outcome. The bills and pay rolls are being paid, and while the funds sometimes run low. something comes along to help it out. The annual liquor licenses are about all in, S75,000, and the money has been spent. The tax eS from insurance business is now coming in, and it is estimated this will yield about $65, ,000. The revenue from the county tax col lections cannot be expected much before the early part of June. It is estimated that 75 per cent of the taxes are paid after April 1, which delays the returns from the sheriffs to the state. It is costing the state about $1100 a day to run the Legislature. The 37th Assembly was in session 121 days and cost $161,O The present session will probably cost more.

In the new "harem" skirts. Paris Is
evidently becoming civilized. All civ

the frugal French should waste good
eggs on bad girls attired in harem
skirts, especially as it Is generally
conceded that it is permissible for
French women to appear in public
attired In anything, or nothing for
that matter. We may, however. be
presuming too much in one particu-

Net profit, | acres $1,122 73
That is the result Of the work of
eleven boys in eleven different South
ern States on one acre Of iauu each.
Where is the man who farms, or
thinks he is farming, 80 to rs acres
of land under old methods, who can
show profit Of $102 per acre, or
half that amount for that matter?
These contests among the men and
boys of the South are bound to work
great benefit to the South as a
whole. and to South Carolina no less
than any Of the other States. they
show what can be done with our
soil. They serve to show to what
extent extensive farming can be car
ried on; they are tending to get the
farmer up to the point where he shall
realize that his salvation lies not in
the number OF acres he cultivates,
but III the amount he makes each
acre produce. The ultimate result
will be to put farming upon practi-
cal intensive basis--a basis that will
indicate the point at which "exten-
sive' farming ceases to bring profit
able returns, and the point where the
too 'tntensiNc' plan begins to cut
down the net profits.
That is the main purpose OF all

AS we see 1t. there is a world of
information in that little table Of

that we have the country of great

that we are wasting time and energy

that we need more population as Il
