Cut Your Store Bill
Down One Half

Tens of thousands of farmers as well as
town and city folks cut down their store
bills one-half last year and saved money
in spite Of generally short crops and re-
duced wages.
Absolutely millions of dollars we're
saved and countless families lived better
than ever before in the face of the cotton
crisis and general business depression.
How were these burdensome store bills
cut down? By the real money-saving
power of good home gardens, rightly
planted and kept planted and tended
through the season.
Hastings 1916 Seed Catalogue tells how
to cut store bills down; tells about gar
den and farm seeds of kinds and quail
ity that cannot be bought from your mer-
chant or druggist. It's full of garden and
farm information. It's free if you ask
for it. Write for it now. H. G. HASTINGS

MAYOR OF ATLANTA.
Balloting Results Two to One Against
Recall.

Atlanta, Ca, January 5.-Com-
plete unofficial figures of to-day's S
special election showed majorities of
approximately two one against the re-
call of Mayor James G.. Woodward
and the five police commissioners
whose recall was sought.
Mayor Woodward, out total of
$3.50 votes cast in his case, received
a majority of 1900 against the re-
call. In the balloting on the recall
ing of the mayor 6,299 votes against
his recall and 1899, slightly more
than the number who signed the re-
call petition, voted for his removal.
The returns indicated that virtually
straight ticket had been voted.
The vote on the recall of the five
members of the police commission
and the mayor, who is an eX-of1i clio
member, was. asked because the COM
mission reduced James l.. Beavers
from chief of police to captaincy.
Beavers resigned rather than accept
the reduction. His friends claimed
that he did not have a fair trial.
Beavers was accused of not obeying
the orders of the police board.
The complete vote on the COM
missioners was:
James w. English, for recall 3,2S5,
against recall 6,232; w. P. Fain, for
recall 3,317, against recall 6,206; R.
T. Pace, for recall 3,2S3, against re-
call 1924; R. C. Clarke, for recall
3,272, against recall 6,225; A. R..
King, for recall 3,2SS, against recall
6,222. .,.

Several Visible Eclipses.

Local students of astronomy and
amateur star gazers throughout the
country hail the current year with
delight, for 1916 will be replete with
astronomical phenomena, unlike last
year, which was practically devoid of
anything to attract attention in the
way of celestial happenings.
There will be a partial eclipse of
the moon on the 18th of this month,
visible at Bamberg; the beginning
visible generally in extreme western
Europe, the north Atlantic ocean,
North and South America and the
Pacific ocean; the ending visible gen
orally in North America, the north
Atlantic ocean, northwestern South
America, northeast Asia and the Pa
cific coast.
On February there will be total
eclipse of the sun, visible at Bam-
berg as a partial eclipse. Eclipse be-
gins at about 1:25 o'clock and ends
shortly after $3.50 o'clock.
There will be partial eclipse of
the moon July IA, visible at Bam-
berg; the beginning visible in Africa,
southeastern Europe, the Atlantic
ocean, North America, except the
more western portions; South Amer
lea and the south Pacific ocean; the
ending visible generally in the At
lantic States, North and South Amer

The approaching opposition of the
planet Mars during the iearly months
of the year is slated to be period of
unusual interest for astronomical OBJ
servation, and already extensive prep
arations have been made at all the
great observatories of the world to
watch for new discoveries on the dis
of the Martian world.
During the year 1916 the planet
Neptune is to occupy unique position
in space, which is to afford the rare
opportunity for astronomers to learn
more of its rotation period. Neptune
is far out on the frontier of the
extreme limit of our solar system and
astronomers take every opportunity
to watch the motion of this, the most
distant member of our system. -

DIE MYSTEROUSLY.
Officials Will Make Inquiry Into
Their Deaths.

Chicago, ILL.,, Jan. Accom-
panied by their family physician,
Ulysses DesPortes, wealthy mer-
chant of Winnsboro, S. c., and his
wife, Sarah, arrived in Chicago on
Monday night and went to the Ber-
narr-McFadden healthatorium. Mrs.
J. H. Kaufman, sister of Mrs. Des
Portes, who lives only three blocks
away, says she was not notified Of
the aged couples arrival until Tues
day morning when she received a
note from DesPortes asking her to
come to the institution.
DesPortes, who was 65 years old,
his wife being 60 years old, met Mrs.
Kaufman in the receiving room of
the institution. She kissed him in
greeting and went upstairs to see
her sister. When she returned a few
minutes later DesPortes had died in
his chair.
Mrs. Kaufman said: ''When saw
what condition they were in at the

SMALLPOX CAUSED TWO DEATHS.
State Health Board Reports Results
of Preventive Measures.

The results of the campaign car
ried on by the. State board of health
against smallpox by vaccination are
gratifying to health officials. Only
1928 cases were reported to the office
between January 1 and November l
of last year, which is a large decrease
over 1914.
There was sharp outbreak in
Charleston in March, April and May,
with recrudescence in July, but the
epidemic was stopped at 142 cases by
the efficient work of special agents
of the State and city boards of health.
Other outbreaks were reported in
;Richland, Calhoun and Bamberg
counties, but in each instance the
ravages were stopped by prompt ac-
ton. There were only two deaths
from smallpox reported in the, State.
1--WE are glad to say" James A.
Hayne, NJ. D., State health officer,
says in his, report, that it mas cost
the State less this year than it has
in many years and we hope to see
this cost less and less each year. We
believe, however, that we can prom
ise that for the next year or two
there will be no widespread epidemic.
There are two strains of smallpox in
this country, one very virulent and
the other very mild. The virulent
strain has a very high death rate and
it is against this form that we are
insisting upon complete vaccination
of the population"
During the first nine months OF
this year the board sent out 44,708
vaccine points at a cost of S2,906.02.

ByInes on the Road Bill.

Washington, Jan. 8.-Representa-
tive James F. Byrnes, who is mem
Der of the committee on roads, had
this to say with regard to the new
federal goods roads bill which, the
committee has favorably reported to
the house:
t@.It is probable that the bill will
be taken up in the house within the
next two weeks and the chance of its
passage is very good The house has
twice passed a federal aid bill, but
on each occasion it has been killed in
the senate.
ssThe features objected to by the
senate have been eliminated from the
bill now proposed in the house, its
provision being practically those con-
tanned in a bill introduced by myself
two years ago, which bill at that
time met with the approval of the
secretary of agriculture.
.'The new bill provides that, the
federal government cooperate with
the States in a sum not to exceed rs
million dollars, apportioned among
the States according to population
and mileage Of rural routes. In this
apportionment sopth Carolina would
be entitled to s415,ooo a year; the
roads to be constructed would be Sc
lected by the State highway commits
sion, and the work done under the
laws Of the State. The contribution
of the federal government towards
the construction of a road would be
not greater than SO per cent. of the
total cost, nor less than 80 per cent.
To participate after 1920 q State
would be required to have a highway

times, which have materially affect
ed the finances, not only of the farm
ers of our State, but also every other
trade and profession.
''The present financial condition
of our people, and the. burden of
taxes unequally distributed by rea-
son of the fragrant discrimination
and inequality in assessments that
has been in existence over long
period of years, makes it of para
mount Importance that all appropria-
tions be closely scrutinized and every
item carefully and thoroughly ;inves-
tigated before finally passed upon.
"It is not my idea that the several
institutions and State departments be
crippled or hampered in the pro-
gressive work they are doing, but in
considering their. needs let us con-
slider also the source of revenue from
which these needs must be met-the
pocketbook of the taxpayer. The
people demand that their tax levy be
held down to minimum, and most
earnestly urge that you heed this
call. Until assessments and taxes
shall be made equal and just, L shall
oppose new and expensive undertak-
ings.

must be economical progress.

TICKS TAX ON DIARIES
The Cattle Tick Costs the Farmers of Arkansas Thousands of Dollars.

Washington July 3.-There is not uncommon idea that if a COW does not die from Texas fever, the cattle tick is doing it no great harm. Native cattle, it is asserted, are immune to tn tick. There could be no greater mistake. Cattle may become immune to the fev- CT. but none of them tver become inn mune to the loss of the blood that the tick sucks out. With steers this loss means reduced weight and lower pric- es with dairy COWS it means smaller milk production and correspondingly smaller profits.
 Gov Tnment tests conducted stimuli taneously, under Identical conditions, with ticky and tick free herds show that ticks reduce the milk flow from IS to 42 per cent, the exact amount depending, of course. uron the sever ity Of tn infestation. Translate this statement into dollars and cents and the true meaning of the tick to the ldai'K becomes obvious. l reap owns a

revenue is cut down from $1 600 to $93O-a loss of $67O year.
 This loss is absolute; there is no reduction in the dost or labor of feed ing to offset it. Neither is it impos- sible to overcome it by increasing the amount of f',l." Cows carrying ticks" says the government report of the tests, did not increase their flow of milk when the feed was increased as did the tick-free cows.' In other words, tn feed went to the ticks and not to the cows.
 The practical experience of the people confirms the conclusions of the government investigators. In the tick infeztsd sections of the South, dairy, ing is not an important industry The farmefsmay cling, if he wishes, to the delusion that the tick is harmless on immune cattle, but he is not likely to put his faith to the test by investing in dairy COWS.
