County Treasurer Asks Taxpayers
to Call Early and Avoid the Rush.
Milbank, S. D., Feb. 90, 1911.
To THE TAXPAYERS OF GRANT COUN-
TY:
In reference to the notice in the
Grant County Review last week about
closing the telephone in our office dur
ing the last week in February, will
say that one person made q complaint
that as it is . public office, we had no
right to close the phone 10 the public.
In answer will say that if the par.
ties are willing to accept the same
courtesy as persons who are present
we will make no objection, but leave
it for anyone TO consider If it is pro.
per when q crowd is waiting to be
taken care of, and some of them may
come from a distance of Is to 20 miles.
and we get a phone message every
five minutes, to leave the crowd wait
ing while we answer phone calls,
! probably from parties living at a
| short distance.
1t may lie necessary for some people to
wait to the last days the law allows
to pay the first installment Of their
taxes, but they should make that al
40 exception and not a rule.
During the last W days in Febru-
airy last year we received several
hundred letters. containing about
$50, 600 in checks and drafts, and some
OF them were not opened for ten days.
and quite a number contained inquir-
les for statements Of taxes.
1t would be a risky affair to open
such a mass Of letters with drafts in
nearly every one of them before we
could dispose of them, as the drafts
are generally payable to the county
treasurer and do not show the name
Of the sender: and suppose some of
them should drop out of the letter and
get mixed, how much extra time it
might require.
Every taxpayer should send the
description of their real estate and
also their name to the county treasur-
er before the rush, and they would
then receive q statement Of the amount
of their taxes, and those in the coun-
try who have an account with any of
the banks in the county could send a
personal check, together with the
statement, and get their receipt by
mail, and those who have not any
account with. q bank, or are unable to
come In person. could buy g. T. .. or
express order, or draft.
The work 10 increasing every year,
and in order to handle the business
with the presena force it is necessary
for the taxpayer to assist. What
would be the consequence il all tax
payers should leave payment until
the last two days?
It is not fair to come in March and
expect to pay the first installment, as
many do, ' e if We are not through
with the February business. W.
should I've all law abiding citizens,
and the time il limited by law.
We shall spare no pains to accom-
mod ate every taxpayer 80 fast IS pos
sible, but we need your assistance.
When our work is delayed it pre-.
vents the schools and civil townships
from getting their money in time.
am willing to modify the suspen'
sion OF the telephone in our Office to
only the two last days of February,
and if it is necessary for anyone to
send messages during those days the
central will have to give them to US

JOHN 0. NELSON,
County Treasurer.

There are quite a number Of claimants
for the honor. One pair has recently
been the cause of a law suit, and 1t
was said In the course Of the trial
that they we're given by the king to
Bishop Juxon on the scaifold. There
is yet another pair which has had a
far stranger history than most Stuart
relics, which have indeed little his
tory, but a quiet passing from genera
ton to generation in English country
houses. They were sent by King
Charles on the day of execution by q
trusty hand to Speaker Lenthall for
amity's sake" Only one of the pair
now survives, the other was burned
In q bush fire In Australia. The
precious gloves HAD gone there when
the Lenthalls awhile ago left their
homes and their lands and had, with
Charles lis pardon Of Lenthall, been
cherished In many wanderings in Au-
STRATA. The surviving glove and the

COL. P. A. STOVALL

Savannah Editor RenGWS Re-
IatiOnS With Americas

Hon. Pleasant A. StovalI, editor Of
the Savannah Press, spent yesterday
in Americus, en- route home from
Woodberry, Meriwather county, where
he delivered an address at the clos
ing of the academy on Monday. While
in the city, Col. Stovall renewed his
acquaintance with a number Of Am
icus citizens. Two years ago, it will
be recalled, he was the orator at the
occasion of the unyeiling OF the Wirz
monument and delivered an address
that attracted widespread attention.
Col. S,oyall is one of the leaders Of
:outhern journalism and is frequently
referred to as a probable candidate for
United States senator. He IS one Of
the 'progressiyes" OF Georg.a's DEM
ccracy, in the highest sense of that
much-abused word, and has been one
Of he staunchest supporters of dem
ocratic principles, in season and out )f
season, that the state has known in

SEVEN BARRELS FLOUR
THE YIELD PER ACRE
Wheat Growing Increasing in
Sumter

Indications are that the yield of
wheat in Sumter county is being rap
idly increased by the interest mani
tested by farmers in this important
grain crop Professor G. V. Cunning
ham, of the Agricultural College fac
ulty, is engaged in arous!ng interest
in the further cultivation of this crop.
AS an incentive to. farmers to en-
gage in the growing of wheat, it IS
pointed out that recent yield of 73
bushels of wheat to an area of two
acres was made by Mr.. J. NJ. Bu-
chanan on his plantation near Amer
icus This makes an average of thir-
ty-siX and a half bushels of wheat to
the acre on this limited area, which
is an exceedingly good yield on local
land, which though not of the ideal
kind, is capable of pro-
ducing excellent results as shown by
this yield.
To state this yield in different terms,
it is equivalent to seven barrels u
-four per acre This, of course, looks
like an easy chance to keep the wolf
from the door in the way of growing
diversified crops of food producing
grain. Professor Cunningham points
out the fact that twice the wheat is
now being grown here as has been the
case
In view of this fact it is urged that
q floor will be added to the other
manufacturing plants now doing busl-
ness here If the construction of a
-four mill is assured, it is believed
hat the production of wheat will dou-
Die in a short time.
