The pork made from pastured
pigs is the pork that pays. Half
acre lots are excellent. with house
in each, the swine to be allowed to
feed In a lot until it is trampled and
cropped down and then kept out of
it until recovery has taken place,
says Farm and Fireside. Vetch,
rape. clover. alfalfa, cowpeas and
many other crops will in this way
go much further than when fed
continuously. A lot may be plowed
and sowed while the one adjoining
it is being fed. A good system is
to place a house in the division
fence, with a swinging door in each
end, as in illustration. With one
door barred the hogs have access to

WANT TAX INJUNCTION
Coal Companies Assert Township School
Rate Is Too High

Sunbury, Pa, Dec. 23.--Coal compa-
nies owning $9,0OO,OOO worth of coal
properties in Coal township yesterday
asked the Court for an Injunction re-
straining the township school authori-
ties from enforcing collection of more
than $4,000 in taxes for the year
g1913. They allege that any tax rate
in excess of mills is illegal and that
they should only be compelled to pay
at that rate on an assessed valuation Of
$5,000,000.
In its answer the School Board de-
clares the petition is only for the pur-
pose Of delay, and that under the law
the coal companies should have paid
this money into the school treasury long
ago. Instead, it asserts, 1t was com,
Npelled to borrow $4,000 to meet cur
r,ht expenses during 1913, upon which
i(will have TO pay interest, while the
cobl companies will have no interest to
pax on these taxes.

WILLIAM s. WEST DIES
Ex-United States Senator From
Georgia Succumbs to Apoplexy

0oohSAd SuCSuiuuo Co ApOpleXy
Valdosta, Ca, Dec. 23.-Ex- United
States Senator William S. West was
found dead in bed at his home here
early yesterday. He had retired ap-
parently in good health. Physicians
said death apparently was due to
apoplexy. Mr.. West was appointed to
the Senate March 2, 1914, to fill the
vacancy caused by the death of Sena-
tor A. o. Bacon. His term expired last
November, when Thomas w. Hardwick
was elected. He was 65 years old.
Ms. West was graduated from Mer.
Ger University, Macon, Ca, in 1880,
and three years later received an A. M.
degree, and also the degree of LII. b.
from the same Institution. He began
the practice of law in Valdosta in
1888. Mr.. West was also planter, and
was president and general manager of
the Valdosta Street Railway Company
He was member of the Georgia House
of Representatives, 1S92-1901, and of
the State Senate for four years, being
president of the latter in 1905-06.
In 1908 he was delegate-at large to
the Democratic National Convention in
Denver Mr.. West was chairman of the
board of the Southern Georgia State
Normal College, and a trustee of the
University of Georgia.

TROLLEY MUST PAY RENTAL
viii Be Charged 81 500 Yearly to Use
Susquehanna Bridge

Sunbury, Pa, Dec. 23.-The Sunbury
Bridge Company, operating toll bridge
across the Susquehanna river, and the
receivers of the Sunbury and Susque-
hanna Railroad Company have decided
that the trolley corporation shall pay
$500 yearly rental for using the
structure.
Back in 1909 rental agreement Of
$4,000 yearly was entered into. Then
came proposition in the State Legisla-
ture that the State take over all toll
bridges. The same forces controlled
the trolley and bridge corporation, and
secret agreement was entered into
whereby only $1,000 was to be paid,
it appearing that the management be-
lieved it sufficient rental when the
State became the owner. The bill was
vetoed and the trolley corporation
went into receivers hands. They found
the 81 1000 rental agreement of a later
date, and refused to pay $4,000.
T. Larry Eyre, of West Chester, then
went into court as owner of $4,000
of the bonds of the Bridge Company,
and asked that the 81 900 contract be
declared void, as it was made without
the knowledge Of all the bondholders.
