er.
Don't let him weigh the paper,
twine, tray and other container and
charge you for it. 1t is against the
law.

less it is labeled with weight. There's
a fine for not so marking it.
Don't mistified by the figures OF
a compounding scale. Learn to read
them.
Don't let the butcher rest his fin
ger on projecting bone and don't
let him press his body against the

fidence in the world in the New York

Worse to Come.

The regular trombone player of a
Scottish orchestra was laid up with
a cold, and the conductor reluctantly
accepted the services of brass band
amateur. He was a little doubtful,
however, as to the suitability of his
substitute.
After the first performance the
new player asked the conductor how
he had done.
The conductor replied that he had
done pretty fairly, but that perhaps
he would do better next night.
The newcomer, eyeing him CRATE
fully. answered:
Man, ye see, the music is a

RAPE AS HOG RAISING CROP.
Every South Carolina Farmer Ad-
Vised to Have Small Patch.

Clemson College, Aug. 31.-Every
farmer in South Carolina should
have small piece of land in rape
for his hogs, according to Clemson
College authorities. When planted
on good land it is one of the State S
best soiling crops for hogs and sheep.
The South Carolina experiment sta
ton has obtained as much as 25 tons
of forage from this plant and 20 tons
is not an unusual yield. There are
fine possibilities in rape as a grazing
crop for hogs and it is strongly
recommended.
Dwarf Essex is the best variety Of
rape for South Carolina. 1t should
be planted in August or September,
though it may also be planted in
early spring.
Soil on which rape is planted
should be well supplied with vegeta-
Bile matter. If it is NOT rlcn soil, it
should receive heavy application Of
good stable manure, which should be
thoroughly worked into the surface.
In addition to this the land should
have an application of acid phos-
phate and of potash, the fertilization
depending largely upon the quality
Of the soil. A top dressing Of Is to
100 pounds of nitrate of soda should
be given after it is well started.
Four to six pounds of seed should
be sown to the acre, in drills two
feet apart. 1t may also be broad
casted. One good feature of rape is
the low price of the seed. If soWn
in the drill, it is wise to give one or
more shalloy civilizations to save
moisture and destroy weed and grass
enemies.
Rape should be ready for grazing
about two months after sowing. 1t
will furnish grazing for about three
months.
This is only one of large number
of good grazing crops for hogs rec
commended by Clemson College. 9th
ers are crimson clover, bur clover,
oats, rye and vetch, any Of which
may be sown about the first of Sep
tember. Full information relative to
any Of these crops will be furnished
upon application by Clemson College.

S1OO,OOO,OOO WAR TAX.
President Asks Congress to Raise
Money to Meet Deficit.

Washington, Sept. Ave shall
pay the bill, though We did not delib-
erately incur it," said President Will
son today, presenting before a joint
session of congress his appeal for an
emergency internal revenue measure
to raise 100000, the govern
ment's probable loss in customs re-
ceipts because of the European war.
Prompt action was necessary, the
president said, 'sto keep the treasury
strong" His only suggestion as to
the method for levying the tax was
that sources be chosen that would
begin to yield at once and yield
with a certain and constant flow
The appeal met with quick action.
AS soon as the president had left the
house chamber amidst an outburst
of applause, Speaker Clark referred
the message to the ways and means
committee. Democratic members of
the committee met tonight at the call
of the chairman, Representative I'm
derwood, and began consideration OF
plans to raise the additional revenue.
Various members suggested sources
which they believed would be proper
ly subjected to additional taxation.
On the list suggested were:
On List Suggested.
Gasoline, a tax of l or 2 cents a
gallon; railroad and amusement
tickets, a tax of 5 to 10 per cent;
beer, an increase of so cents bar
rel; domestic wines, whiskey, an in
crease of Is cents a gallon; proprie-
tary articles, tobacco and tobacco
products. chewing gum, soft drinks,
playing cards.
The proposal to tax railroad tickets
was not received with enthusiasm by
members of the committee, although
it was estimated that a 5 per cent
tax would raise s40,000,0O0.
Chairman Underwood said the ar
ticles suggested would be gone over
and list of taxable articles agreed
on by elimination. This list would
be submitted to the treasury depart
ment, probably early next week
When the bill is completed in COM
mittee. it probably will be brought
into the house under a special rule
and hurried through.

Hard Labor.

Wilson Barrett used to tell an
amusing story against himself. At

all went on Saturday night to see

Laid Aside Dignity.

as little as possible" was favorite
saying of Emperor Joseph II, says
London Tit-Bits. Whether his hu-
mility was sincere or not, he certain
ly laid aside his dignity of station
whenever he could also lay aside his
duties as ruler of the holy Roman
empire
In Au Couchant de la Monarchie
the Marquis de Segur tells of one oc-
casion when the emperor went to
France to visit his sister, Queen Ma
rie Antoinette. The Parisians, ac-
customed to the luxury and magni-
ficence at the court of Versailles,
were astonished at the extreme sim
plicity that Joseph II affected.
He preferred not to be recognized
as emperor at all, and travelled with
one or two gentleman, or alone, un-
der an assumed name. Once his
quick wit alon preserved his incog-
nito.
He had stopped for the night at
an inn, and in the morning was shay

landlords daughter held basin of
water for him. Something about the
man or his belongings had reused
the girls curiosity and suspicion, for
she presently asked, in a respectful
voice:
Are you not connected with the
court or in the service of the en-
peror?"
Joseph, who saw what her ques-
tions might lead up to, replied quick
ly:
why, certainly. my dear girl.

His ready answer, which did not
pass the bounds of truth, lulled the
girls suspicion completely.

Bird Census.

A census of all the birds of the
United States is suggested for this
summer and the United States de-

bird lovers throughout the country
to cooperate in taking it. The OBJ

of birds of each species breed within
definite areas. By comparing these
figures with those of subsequent CEN
suses, it will be possible to ascertain
whether the present State and federal

MORE BLACKS THAN WHITES.
Gaffney's Present School Enrolment
More Than 100.

Gaffney, Sept. 3.-The enrolment
in the graded schools of Gaffney for
the session just commenced is more
than LOO, and YET there are many
children here who are not in school.
1t is a significant fact that there are
more negro children enrolled than
whites in proportion to population
and it is hard to understand why
the parents of the white children
will allow their offspring to grow up
in ignorance when the tuition in the
schools is free.

WILSON SET AMERICA FREE.
Secretary of Navy Says People May
Legislate Without Fear.

Bar Harbor, Me-, September A.
Declaring that President Wilson and
the Democratic congress had kept all
platform promises, Secretary of Navy
Daniels, in a campaign speech here
tonight added that the president
had set America free to legislate
without fear.
"Greater than the tariff law itself,
greater than the currency law itself,
greater than all the needed construc-
tive legislation of the record-making
administration" said Mr.. Daniels,
looms up this fact: That the people
may legislate without any longer
fearing that our business is going to
be checked or our prosperity de-
stroyed. The right to enact such
laws as they conceive is best for
them at last has been restored to
them.
Under Wilson, the ideals of JEFF
ferson's first inaugural have been
realized. Business no longer stran-
giles government; privilege no longer
holds it up on the highway and rifles
its pockets
Mr.. Daniels took up legislative
measures successfully urged by the
administration and said:
privilege has modified its lobby
against them, with the rapidity of
the European corps. The propagan-
da of fear" he said, was worked
to the limit"
Certainly whatever else can be
said," declared Mr.. Daniels, nobody
can say that either the president or
congress has drawn down upon them
selves that anathema the Almighty
hates a gutter On the very night
the president signed the tariff bill he
said: We have only taken one step,
and summoned the congress to go
forward with the next step-the cur
rency legislation. He did not pause
a day or even think of quitting, and
that has been the record in every
step of administrative policy since
the 4th of March, 1913"

 LEAVING STORE

Henry Henderson and Harvey Jones, negroes. were arrested at l o'clock this morning just as they were coming out of the Dickerson grocery and market at Seventy seventh street and First avenue, East Lake. The negroes who had just burglarized the store walked right out into the arms of Sergeant Bagley and officers Sorrell and Fucker. They were placed in the city Jail charged with burglary and grand larceny.
 According to Sergeant Bagley, the negroes first broke in a blacksmith shop adjacent to the grocery to get the necessary tools to burglarize the Dickerson store.
