Post Dated Checks are Taxable

Many people are unaware of
the fact that post dated checks
are subject to war tax, but ac-
cording to the text of the war
tax regulations, a stamp on these
checks is just as imperative as
on promiSsory notes.
When person makes out a
check and dates it ahead, it is
essential that a war stamp ac.
company the check before send
ins it to the payee. This new
form of war tax has been abso
lutely disregarded, probably
more through ignorance of the
tax regulations than anything
else.

BAPTIST CHURCH

Sunday morning the ordinance of
baptism will be observed at this
church, in connection with which Mr.
Varney will preach on "The Symbol
ism of Baptism" The sermon will be
in no sense controversial, but will
rather give the reasons why Christ
instituted and commanded the inn
pressive ceremony of immersion. All
enquirers are especially invited 10
hear this sermon. An Christian dis
satisfied with his sprinkling, and yet
desiring to remain a member of his
present church, will be gladly baptised
by Mr.. Varney, or the baptistery plac-
ed at the disposal of any other min
lister who may wish the perform the
ceremony. There will be union
service in this church of all the young
peoples societies of the city, at GAS,
led by one of the evangelists. The
evening service will be a union one,
in the Methodist church.

how one small incident of an occas-

1t is so with my memory of the morn

in an outlying district; my mother
had gone to the village and returned
with the news ofLincoln S death;
my father was in distant wood-low,

saw those big ants crawling out Of
the splintered pine and caught in the
oozing pitch; the spot; the surround

struggling ants, all stand out boldly
in memory; nothing more. This was
Saturday morning. Services the next
day in church were like funeral; the
auditorium was heavily draped in
mourning ,almos every building in
town also, and all flags at "ha1f-mast."
And the mourning was deep and gen
uine.
And how we'll l remember April
10Th. 1861; the Massachusetts Sixth
regiment had been assaulted that
what was afterwards my Company
had just left our town for Washing

if the firing on Sumter the 18th was
not enough to rouse our region, this
mob attack on our brothers on their
way to defend the capital added fuel
to the fame.

heroic deeds. The American Revo-

1t is the same with a hundred other
things, all of which were prompted
by spirit of fellow-fee,,1g. This
same commodity has, however, de-
volved few things which make us
wonder if we lave not lost the orr

The list of benefits" increases un-
til finally we discover our taxes also
have increased and are a burden. We
ask that they shall, at least, not be
higher.
At the same time we continue our
benevolences. We now propose, for
example, that the man who has
horses die from causes not within
his control shall be partly rcimbur-
sed for the same at public expense.
Shouldn't we stop and think where
this will lead us? Are there not men
who lose sheep and cattle by wolves,
men who lose hogs through cholera,
men who lose money through sheer
misfortune, men who lose their child
rem through disease, and are not all
OF them and many others as much
entitled to remuneration as the man
who loses horse? In our ambition
to help one another we have arrived
at the beginning of a wild and endless
trail.
The whole proposition resolves
itself to merely this: If we are to
assume the losses incurred by the Gle
ment of luck, we should assume all
OF them, make our government free
public insurance company, and good
naturedly resolve to pay the premium.

much at that.
Here is a point as explained by
an officer who knows what he is
talking about:
A poor man has horse that con-
tracts the dreaded disease He thinks
the animal possibly has CHAMBERS.
He does not call the veterinarian for
he knows that he will lose his animal.
and being a man of moderate means
he figures that he can not afford to
do this.
He figures his horse in dollars and
cents rather than a prevention OF the
spread of the disease and works the
animal-and takes a chance.
In the meantime his other horses
or possibly his neighbours horses
catches the dreaded disease and is
thus given a wide distribution. Soon
there is an epidenmic and horses fall
by twos and threes or even dozens
as was the case in this state last
year.
On the other hand. if the man
knew that he would be reimbursed, or
part so, he would waste no time in
calling a veterinarian and have the
animal Misunderstanding probably his
own and neighbours horses-aside
from the expenses of the state veter-
marian in running over the state hunt
ing down reported cases OF CHAMBERS.
! he above example by no means
as the course persued in all cases of
elanders-only one to show the every
day side of human nature as it exists.
Such reimbursement would by no
means break the state, but on the
other hand would do much to stamp
out the. disease and help mlny a
farmer in the meantime!

Direction of Tobacco Rows.

Few people in laying off tobacco
ground ever realize the direction of the
rows have any effect on the quality of
the tobacco. Upon observation, how
ever, any one will notice that the rows
which run east and west invariably
bring in more money per acre Look
about you and pick out the good crops
and you will be surprised to find that as
rule they were planted in rows run
ming east and west
The reason is very apparent Only a
few years ago we heard great deal
about growing tobacco under canvas to
make the color brighter. The direct
and continued rays of the sun make the
leaves thick and dark. If planted east
and west each row shades the lower part
OF the next one north. The plants
should be not more than two feet apart.

in deeply last December. Where this
work was not completed it should now
be done at once, or just as soon as the

If the land was broken before January,

better than replowing. The potatoes

The earlier in the mouth the better
Some claim that just as early potatoes
can be made by planting in March, bu,
this is mistaken idea, as have learned
from experience.
After the ground is thoroughly pre-.
pared, take one-horse turn-plow and
law off the rows about three feet apart
deeply, then plant the potatoes about
twelve inches apart in the row. Then
fill the furrow nearly full with good
stable manure. Then use the same
pillow and throw on two good burrows,
forming a sharp ridge. With the ma
nure on top of the potatoes, together
with a good ridge on top of that, the
potatoes will keep warm even in the
coolest weather; that is, in this section
of the country and which will include
Tennessee and Virginia as we'll.
Just as soon as the warm days OF
spring arrive and before the potatoes be-
gin to appear through the ground, drag
the ridges down nearly level. After
they are up good, cultivate closely with
a one-horse cultivator, using nothing but
the smallest teeth or hoes. They re
quire frequent cultivation until they are
laid by.-S. c. Talbert, Baxter county,
