sidered, to amend the law TO conform
to long established custom than it
would be to undertake to enforce an
assessment at true and full value. A
bill was accordingly drawn providing
mong other things that, Except as
may be otherwise provided by law all
property subject TO a general proper
ty tax shall be valued at it's true and
full value in money, which shall be
entered opposite each item on the as
sessment rolls, and shall be assessed
at fifty per cent of such true and full
value. Such assessed value shall in
all cases be taken and considered to
be the value of such property for pur-
poses Of taxation, and shall be the
value upon which the tax levy shall
be made
The bill was introduced in the
house by the chairman of the commit
tee on taxes and tax laws, and after
the adoption of an amendment chang
ing the basis of assessment from fif-
ty per cent of true value to forty per
cent it passed that body and was
transmitted to the senate where, af-
ter a brief debate, it was ssindefnite-
ly postponed"
The failure of the bill to pass was
due not so much to hostility to the
principle involved as it was to the in
ability of the members to agree upon
the percent of true value at which
the assessment should be made. A
plurality but not majority Of the
members favored the fifty per cent
basis provided in the bill as introduc-
ed. Some favored thirty per cent,
others forty, others forty-fve, and
others sixty; and in the house one
member offered an amendment provi-
ding that property containing iron ore
should be assessed at sixty per cent
Of it's true value, city property at fifty
per cent and farm property at forty
per cent. Out of this multiplicity OF
views it seemed impossible to reach
common ground The bill landed at
! the end of the session in the legisla
tive ash heap where it slumbered un
til the following session But the
Legislature recognizing the urgency
Of the matter, and feeling that some
! thing must be done to relieve the sit
uation, just before it adjourned sins

What's in a name? Perhaps name
for the farm is only a concession to
the sentiment; nevertheless, it is be-
coming a custom that characteriZes
the owner as a man of pride. Posi-
bly, his knowing that the farm is
named may stimulate him to better
work on the farm. No doubt the com
munity looks upon the name as a
trademark for this particular farm
and the things for which it is noted.
1t may carry discredit as we'll as cred
it and truly it's reputation will be only
that which the farmer makes for it.
The name for the farm should not
be hastily chosen, and should mean
something. It may be made to meet
some fancy of the owner, but prefer
ably should have a relation to some
distinct feature of the farm or the
line of farming pursued. The entire
family should be consulted in the Sc
lection of the name, and it should as
far as possible be made to meet the
wishes of all.
A Well-chosen name is worthy Of
publication; and it is not only we'll to
use it on letter-heads and envelopes,
but it should adorn the gateway, in
order that all who chance to pass may
read. Believing that a Well-selected
name may furnish an incentive for
better farming, we suggest the follow
ing list:

CHEAP ADVICE

Perhaps the most advised indiyidu-
al for the last several years now, is
the farmer. According to this news
paper advice among many other, mat
tiers he should keep lots of hogs, a
flock of sheep, have a big herd of
pure bred cattle, and goodly number
Of milk COWS He should farm inten-
siyely, raise corn, potatoes, alfalfa,
clover, timothy, etc.
The authorities who tender the far
mer all this good advice strange to
say. are not themselves farmers as
rule, but Of course they don't have to
be, TO know the proper manner in
which to farm proftably, for like
newspaper work, anybody knows how
to run a farm.
For example here is a farm out on
the open prairie, perhaps short on.
the supply of water and only a we'll
at best; the owner is advised that if
he don't get a herd of short horns for
beef and another herd of Jerseys for
milk, that his farm will go to the
boW-WoWs inside of ten or fifteen
years because he is otherwise rob
bling the soil''. Well, that means for
that farmer, big stable buildings,
and lots of hired men as well
as considerable amount of money TO
be Invested in stock. Oh yes, he will
need to take some of his wheat land
and make pasture which will also
require fencing.
This only refers to comparatively
few of the reasons why the farmer
not follow the oft-told tale of his dear
friends. Other things will only too
readily occur to the farmer himself
why he is not better farmer.
But the greatest fact concerning the
better farming idea is, not one farm
er in thousand farms as we'll as he.
knows how himself. Which being the
case also makes the advice of these
experts somewhat superfluOus. Why
the farmers does not farm as we'll as
he knows how may be somewhat Of a
mystery to these good friends, but the
only answer they can get is to look
at their own business and see if they
themselves conduct their own affairs
as we'll as they know how.
When it comes to show down, we
think the average farmer conducts
his farming operations about as we'll
as the average business or profession
is conducted by it's operator There
are fewer failures in farming proper
tionately than in most business or
profession is conducted by it's opera
tor. There are fewer failures in far
ming proportionately than in 'rcst
business or professional operations
and it takes as much brains to be sue
cessful in farming as in any other
business.-The Pioneer Express, Penn

THINGS WORTH WHILE

(By Horace G. williamson
10 look and see the beautiful,
This world holds to the view;
To listen and to hear the songs
Which Nature sings for you.
To taste the sweet of all you eat,
To smell each fragrant flower,
To know, to feel that God is real,
To live within the hour.
To love one who deserves your love
To face all with smile,
To reach a goal by trying hard,
These are the things worth while.

TO STlMULATE FA1M WORK
An Attractive Proposition, is Endorsed

Spartanburg.-The board of direc-
tors of the South Carolina chamber of
commerce held meeting several
days ago in this city, several matters
of importance coming up for discus
sion in connection with the future
work of the organization. A set of
bylaws, as drafted by a sub-commit-
tee, was unanimously adopted, togeth-
er with tentative plans for the financ-
ing of the chamber. The selection OF
a subscription solicitor, managing Sec
retary and publicity manager, after
prolonged discussion, was finally left
to a committee of three members OF
the board Applications were consid-
cred from commercial secretaries and
other city and state building experts
scattered over fifteen different states
in the Union.

tional board of Grain Exchanges to the
state chamber through Secretary A.

to the proposition every county in the
state will receive donation Of $1,000
annually for a period of three years
for the purpose of advancing its agri-

combined total is to be placed at the

made without any strings tied to

names to be enrolled as members of
two or more Democratic clubs. This
is clearly being done for the purpose
of perpetrating fraud and should not

with proof to convict, of any voter

Discusses the Rural Police PropO.
sitiOn.

AS a voter of Chesterfield county
and a resident of the country, the
writer deems it expedient just at this
time to invite the attention of the
voters of the county to the question
of whether or not Chesterfield county
should have rural police force. Sew
eral of the prospective candidates for
the legislature have asked for the SEN
timent of the people on the subject;
so if they are elected it would give
them the opinion Of the people on the
issue. 1t appears to the writer that
we are badly in need of such protec-
ton. There is no organized force in
the country at the present to keep
down lawlessness and to check the
carrying of concealed weapons; the
promiscuous firing of such arms along
the public highways and through the
rural districts. Some of the most
hideous crimes committed in our
were perpetrated in the rural dis
tricts in which there was no police
protection.
1t would prove to be a good reve-
nue. to the county. Marlboro and
Florence counties, as we'll as many
other counties in this State, have rural
police, why not Chesterfield county?
The eXigency of such a law is at
hand.
Let's hear from others on the sub
ject and you, also, Mr.. Editor.
