To Test School Mill Tax Law.
An sction in equity brought to test the
constitutionaiity Of chapter y Of the Laws
of Bottle school mill tax hs-ievying
an additional tax Of one and one half lnills
on the wild iands, ossensibly for the bene-
Ut Of the schools, was argued before the
law court at Augusta last week, it being
the case OF Herbert J. sawyer W. Pascal p.
Gilmore, former state treasurer.
The plaintiff in the sction lives in Nat
tamiscoDtis, an unincorporated township.
The money under the tax IL collected by
the State and then distributed TO the
cities. towns and plantation, one-third &C.
cording to the number Of school pupils
and two-thirds according to the valuation.
The plaintiff, living in the unincor-
pointed place, received none Of the money,
and contends tsat be was Disseminated
against by the workings Of the law, and
that in its nnaI sssaIts 1t makes an In
equality Of fsxs1ion hetween those who
pay taxes on Wild lands on unincosporated
places and those who pay taxes in the
city, towns or plantations.
TIE same case was argued year ago ct
the December law term, but it was NOT de-
eided at that time. Consequently, it was
Fsargued. Tuesday. the arguments being
suppiemental to the arguments delivered
last year, some points were argued more
fully.

The open season and mild weather
offer the BEST possible opportunity for
those Who have apple trees on their
places to hunt for and destroy brown
tail moth nests. There are more OF
them in this section than people are
aware.of. One farmer on the Surry
road gathered twenty Ave last week.
The nests are easily distinguishable at
this season OF the year, and everyone
destroyed means many hundred fewer

Literary Persons Inferior Penmen.
The handwriting of literary men is
supposed to have improved during re-
cent years, but there are still few
with fondness for heiroglyphics. At
a meeting of the Methodist confer
ence in Melbourne, Australia, the 9TH
er day Rev. DR.. Ftchett, author Of
Deeds That Won the Empire" and
other popular works, handed up a
resolution. The president looked at
1t, turned 1t upside down and round
about, and at length gave 1t up In
despair. The clerk was equally unable
to decipher it. II must ask Brother
Fitchett," said the president, ito be
good enough to rewrite his resolu-
tion and try to make 1t readable.
At present it resembles a doctors
prescription"

near the surface. If we have a deep,
mellow seed bed, the roots are en-
couraged to go deep and gather food
from large amount of soil. The
plant food in hard, lumpy ground is
not easily dissolved. Stirring the soil
and breaking up the clods brings the
water into contact with more soil sur
face and hastens the solution of plant
food.
When heavy rain enters the soil,
the greater part of the water passes
down through the soil until it reaches
place where all the openings between
the soil particles are completely filed
with the free water. During the time
between rains the plants must get
their moisture from this supply deep
down in the soil. The process by
which this water rises in the soil is
called capillarity. When thick layer
of trash or manure is plowed under
late in the season, the capillary con-
nection with the subsoil is broken,
