The Timber Tax
Manning, S. c., Sept. 3rd, 1918.

Manning, S. c., Sept. 3rd, 1918.
To the F1ters Of Clarendon County:
Last March purchased at Sheriff's
sale the plantation of Mr.. +. r. Plow-
den containing 1892 acres in the Fork
Of Black River. On this place there
arc 1888 acres of cultivated land
and $50 acres Of timber. The timber
is worth at conservative estimate.
s20,000OO.
Now, when the Court was asked for
an order to sell this place for the sat
isfaction of a mortgage, The D. w.
Alderman & Sons Co., of Alcolu, filed
an answer in which they stated that
the timber on the place was their
property. That the mortgage on the
r'acc covered only the land and not
she timber. At the sale, bidders were
put on notice that only the land was
being sold, and that the purchaser of
The land did not acqui.e the right to
either use or sell the timber which was
she property Of the Alderman Co
The contract under which the Alder
man Co. holds this timber gives them
chrty years in which to cut it, and on
this account there were only two bid
aers at the sale, Mr.. D. w. Alderman
and myself, and l had to bid in order
TO protect debt.
Having purchased the place, I pay
taxes on it, of course. Does the AL.
derman Co. pay taxes on the $4,000
worth of timber which they own on
the place? They do not. Now will
some one kindly tell me why should
oe taxed on this property and this
million dollar corporation be exempt
from taxes on their property. l do
not own the timber and did not buy it.
4 was put on notice at the time of the
sale that it was the property of the
Aldermans and not for sale, consc.
1ueHty the county should not make
me pay taxes on it. The contention of
che Alderman Co. and the three or
four other wealthy timber owning
corporations doing business in our
country seems to be that the county
should exempt them from all taxes
on two or three million dollars worth
Of timber which they own in this coun..
ay SO that we can raise little family

BIRD PUZZLE TO SCIENTISTS
"Hoatzin," Dweler in the Amazon Val ley, Believed to Be Direct De-
 scendant of Pterodactyl.

The dense tropie jungle of the Ama- zon valley is something more than merely jungle. It is the point where the dim ages of the past meet the present. Many of it's plaHts and anl- mals seem to be at least cousins 10 those that existed in and before the coal age of the earth.
 One of these "throw-backs" is the hoatzin. the strange bird whose home is in those almost inaccessible regions of tangled forest, muddy rivers and daily rainstorms The hoatzin is not a new discovery. It has been known to scientists for a long time and has always been somewhat of q puzzle It shows so much of the reptilian in its makeup, especially when young, that the experts are almost convinced that it is the direct descendant of the pterodactyl, that giant flying bird reptile that scared over the newborn earth in the days when the caveman was first learning to pit his dawninS intellect against the strength and cum ming of the brute. When grown It shows structural resemblance to sev- eral classes of birds. including the pea fowl and the domestic chicken.
 William Beehe. curator of birds for the New York Geological park and di, rector of the Ornithological society's research station in British Guiana, de votes a chapter In his book, Jungle Peace" to the hoatZin.

BOYS FIRST TO WEAR ARMOR
Veteran Soldiers of Rome Scorned the Idea of Such Protection From
 Danger as 1t Gave.

While these metal clothes. uncom- fortable, hot and heavy though they were, have been necessary style of wearing apparel ever since the for gotten ages when men began to quar- rel and to strive, writes F. s. Brooks, in "StorieS of the Middle Ages it was not until d comparatively recent date that warriors rode to battle wholly incased in armor The Assyrians and Egyptians. the Greeks and Romans of the earlier days, were satisfied with such partial protection as would shield part of their bodies. The stout old Roman legionaries. bronzed and scared with exposure and fighting, laughed rather contemptaously at the fresh levies which, when sent te the field, wished to shield their bodies as much as pos sihle. Indeed, the first use of the word armor. as we understand it, is found in the works of military writer of the latter part of the fourth century A.. D.. one r.

armies. is almost hrutally frank in his allusions to Canadian aggressiveness and practically admits that it would be hopeless to try and develop q simi- lar degree of initiative among German troops, who must never think. but obey. His published orders, several of which have been found on prisoners at various times are strong testimony to the spirit which animates and guides the Canadian army-the spirit of democracy impeliing each man to bear his burdens cheerfully and will ingly to be loyal to his officers and to the traditions of British chivalry and justice.
 The days of slave-driven armies are over and the old savage spirit of mili- tarism that forfeited mems lives in millions to the god of war is about to be crushed once and for ala happy result made possible to d great extent by volunteer forces led and not driven to fight, waging war not for wars sake or lust of conquest but for the free dom of the world.

German Idea.

"The German idea of good soldier is one who breaks all the rules" said Representative Roberts of Nevada. "The soldier who kills the most babies, murders the most women and poisons the most wells is the best soldier, ac- cording to the German idea.
 "The Germans remind me of the youth who said 10 his father:

men appreciate the privilege of free speech with their superiers, but never abuse it. and any man with legiti- mate complaint can always get Il ready and sympathetic hearing. This system has fostered a spirit of mutual trust, | loyalty and confidence which has prompted some of the most heroic deeds of the war.
 The high standard of education and intelligence accounts in a great meas ure for the extraordinary adaptabidty of the Canadians to new and varying styles of warfare and for their ability to spring many painful surprises upon the Hun in the shape of 'ruses de guerre. Raiding, which is now recog- nized as essential for intelligence pur- poses, originated with them and has been developed to such an extent that the Germans have found it necessary to issue frequent army orders warn ing commanders to be particularly watchful when opposed to the Cana dians.

Is important that the work should be thoroughly well done.
 The shape of the roof is intended to admit all the light and sunshine possi- ble during the farrowing season which usually varies few weeks In the diff ferent attitudes This pitch of roof is intended for the northern sections of the country.
 Metal ventilators are provided to carry off the foul air which is nee essary precuution, because the health of breeding stock depends greatly upon the supply of fresh air.
 Improved winter hog houses have helped to eliminate disease and to put the hog business on a better paying basis than ever before The fact is now recognized that hogs require as careful handling in winter as other kinds of live stock. Hogs have been known to winter through in poorly-con- strueted buildings, but it pays to house and feed good breeding stock in a thoroughly scientific manner.
 A few breeding sows, say three or four, may hustle for themselves around the barnyard and make themselves fairly comfortable at night by roofing their way into the haystaek. but there is not much profit to farmer in keep ing three or four sows. A larger num- Der demands different treatment. so that some kind of a winter hog house is necessary to raise pigs i'll paying quantities.
