TAKE FARM INVENTORY NOW.
Every Farmer Should Know How His
Farm Account Stands,

In all business houses the clerks
are busy taking al inventory of the
stock on hand, and from this the re-
suits OF the years business will be
inquired. 1t is just rs important for
the farmer to take All inventory as
It is for the business man. Every
farmer should be successful busi-
ness man to realize the most profit
from his investments.
A much simpler farm inventory
may be taken than the ones in the
business houses. 1t consists in the
placing of all the assets--stock,
| tools, meat, fruit, grains, forage
| crops that have not been harvested,
notes due the farmer, real estate,
| household goods, money in bank
| etc.-on one side Of the ledger, and
the liabilities Gal! accounts, notes,
ETC., that you owe) on the other side.
The total Of all liabilities subtracted
from the total assets will give the
profits made; or the total assets sub
tracted from the total liabilities will
give the loss for the year.
Take an inventory of your farm
now while there Is no farm work
pressing you. Also start keeping an
accurate account of all money spent
and realized from each crop on the
farm. These are two good New
Year resolutions that every farmer
should adopt.

Well Known in Ocon@,e.

w. j. Duncan was We'll known in
Oconee. For q number Of years he
was located at Seneca, where he was
in business. He was an honest, up-
right man, for whom those who knew
him held the highest regard. The
announcement Of his death will be
received here with sincere regret.
How Accident Happened.
From the Tribune Of the 18th we
take the following item, which ex-
plains the circumstances Of Mr.. Dun
cans untimely death:
"The Tribune stated last week that
w. j. Duncan was hurt by belt
striking him across the breast, which
was mistake. The fatal accident
occurred by Mr.. Duncan trying to put
belt on fly wheel, running at full
speed, with q piece Of scantling. The
scantling slipped and caught one of
the spokes in the fly wheel and the
other end struck Mr.. Duncan q ter
rifle blow In the breast, just above
the heart, breaking two ribs twice
each, and the broken ribs punctured
his lungs, which caused his DEATH"

HOME GARDENING
CUTS DOWN BILLS
But 1t Must Be a Real Garden, Kept
Planted Through Season,
Says Hastings.

Atlanta, Ga. - Especially "The
greatest obstacle to permanent farm
prosperity in the south Is the store
bill made for food and grain that
could and should be grown on every
southern farm" says H. G. Hastings,
president Of the Southeastern Fair
Association and Of the Georgia Cham
Der Of Commerce, in an interview on
agricultural conditions in this terri
tor
"a real garden" says Mr. Hastings,
properly prepared and planted, and
Kept planted throughout the season,
Will help more to decrease store bills
than anything else tho farmer can do.
There are lots OF what term one
planting gardens made, gardens with
few struggling rows Of beans, a few
dozen cabbages and tomato plants,
with some watermelon off to one cor
ner, but that's not real gardening any
more than a youngsters first drawing
OF cat or a dog on his slate, is fine
art. Our southern folks generally
don't take the garden seriously, when
as a matter Of fact the right kind Of
a garden, containing a full line Of
vegetables and kept busy all season,
Is reasonably sure Of furnishing at
least half the living Of the family.
II have never seen one crop sec
tion, regardless Of what particular ono
crop was grown, that did not have a
poverty.strlcken look, with poor school
buildings, churches and homes.
II have never seen diversified
section that did not have the signs of
prosperity sticking out all over 1t.
"And on practically every farm in
these prosperous diversified sections
the home garden has an honored
place.
II haven't a thing in the world
against the supply and general mer-
chants, but IL all Of our people would
take the home garden seriously, half
OF them would have to go out of busi-
ness for lack of trade. Give your gar.
den square deal in 1917.

Working OH Insurance MIDDLE.

Columbia, Jan. 11.-In a message
from the Governor yesterday, the
compromise bills agreed upon by the
commission Of legislators and insur-
ance men, were transmitted, and rec
ommendation by the Governor was
that they should be enacted into law
without amendment. BY provision
in these, the insurance companies
Will be allowed to maintain rating
bureaus and to make rates, but all
agreements as to rates and schedules
OF rates are to be FLED with the In
surance Commissioner. State SUPER

question Of discriminatory or unrea-
sonable rate is to be determined by a
commission Of three. Independent

preston Is that the bills will be en-
acted into law without serious oypo-
sition, as the bills have been drawn
up by commission of the insurance

TIME no CALL A HALT,
A Limit to What People Should he
Asked to Stand in Way of Taxes.
(BarnWell PeOple.)


The taxpayers of South Carolina
are threatened with a 1O-mill levy
for the coming year if the General
Assembly grants all the appropria-
tions asked for by the various State
departments and institutions. accord
ing to the estimate OF the Comptrol-
Ter General.
In 1916 the General Assembly ap-
propriated $2,596,1G9. with a 6h-
mill levy, the revenue derived be-
ing $2,3O1,2 ,2S1.3O, leaving a deficit
of about $4,000. Three million,
one hundred and fifty-nine thousand,
six hundred and ninety-one dollars
and fifty-seven cents is asked for this
year, which Is in excess of the esti-
mated revenue Of the State under a
a-mill levy By $324,934.69. AS If
this were not enough, there is a. move
on foot to provide additional offices
for the State departments at an esti-
mated cost Of $2,000,000.
We wish to 60 on record now as
being opposed not only to an appro-
priation to provide additional Offices,
but also for any increase in taxation
at this time. Conditions in South
Carolina are in a very unsettled
state, due to the threatened invasion
Of the boil weevil, and for any addi-
tional burdens to be saddled on the
people now would be nothing short
OF criminal.
Aside from the fact that cotton
brought good price this past fall,
precedented prosperity of the North
and East, brought about by immense
orders for supplies from the warning
nations. The people are already la
boring under high town and county
taxes and we do not believe that they
would stand for 10-mill levy by the
State.
While it may not be possible to
curtail to any great extent the pres
ent appropriation and conduct the va
rious departments and institutions of
the State as they should be, we think
it would be very nnwise to move to
make any increase this year. If it Is
bad business Judgment for an indi-
vidual to spend beyond his income 1t
is certainly bad business Judgment
for the State to do the same thing.
Go slow, gentlemen of the General
Assembly. It's better to be safe than
sorry.

The Cost Of Stopping.
(LeSlie's.)

It Is the little things in railroad
ing as in every other business, that
make profit or loss. Who would
think of the stopping and starting of
trains as being an important item OF
expense to a railroad? President
Willard, of the B. & O., has figured
that 1t costs an average OF $3.50 to
stop a passenger train When the
air brakes are applied extra coal is
needed to generate the steam which
congresses the air. The car wheels,
the brake shoes and the rails--all
feel wear and tear in stopping. In
getting under headway after stop
there is unusual expenditure OF
steam again, and more wear and tear
on the equipment. On a train with
II stops ii would require 80 through
passenger to pay the cost Of starting
and stopping the train.

WILLIAM j. DUNCAN DEAD.
Death Came us Result Of Accident ut
layton, Georgia.
(Clayton Tribune, 11th.)

The angel Of death visited our
midst on Saturday, January 9Th, and
took from us one of our most useful
citizens, William James Duncan.
Though of quiet, unassuming
nature, his influence for good was
far-reaching, as he ever stood for
what he considered right.
Mr.. Duncan was born in Rabun
county 5S years ago, the past four
years residing in Clayton, owning
and operating saw-mill and planer,
at which place he received the in
jury which caused his death.
Though it was known that Mr..
Duncan was seriously injured, he
rallied from the shock so we'll that
all hoped that he would soon recover.
God had decreed otherwise, how
ever, and release from intense suf-
fering came in death.
Between paroXysms Of pain he re-
peated with his wife portions of his
favorite Psalm-"The Lord Is nv
Shepherd, l shall not want" also the
Lords Prayer and Lead Kindly
Light
The funeral services were held
Sunday at 2 p. m. at the Baptist
church, in which he was an earnest
worker, having become member
when quite a young man.
lie Is survived by his wife, to
whom he was married less than a
year ago. two sons by former mar
riage, two sisters and four brothers,
