GRAIN GRADING
DEMONSTRATION
Federal Supervisors to Conduct
School at State Fair.

Clemson College, Aug. 23.-An
open school in grain grading will be
conducted for the benefit of farmers
by federal grain supervisors, accord
ing to an announcement by F. L.
Harkey, field agent in marketing. In
order that farmers, country grain
dealers, millers, county agents, and
others interested may have an oppor-
tunity to familiarize themselves with
correct methods of grading grain un-
der federal standards, Federal Grain
Supervisor K. B. Seeds will conduct
grain grading demonstrations at the
State fair this fall in connection with
the agricultural exhibits which the
United States department of agricul-
ture will make. A fully equipped
grain inspection office will be ar
ranged with exactly the same equip
ment as is used by licensed grain in
spectors in the large markets and in
the offices of the federal grain su-
pervisor.
In order to make a demonstration
thoroughly practical, farmers will be
invited to bring samples of wheat,
shelled corn, and oats in order that
it may be shown how grains are de-
termined. At this demonstration
grains will be handled in the same
way as any actual inspection.
The Importance of this demonstra-
ton is emphasized by the fact that
the United States grain corporation
is requiring that the federal grades
be applied by county buyers, and by
the further fact that properly applied
grades insure premium.

OF INTEREST TO
SUNDAY SCHOOL WORKERS

Spartanburg, Aug. 25.-Announce-
ments of unusual interest to the
Sunday school people of South Car
olina are made this week from the
headquarters of the South Carolina
Sunday School association. The cen
trail committee Of this association re-
Gently voted to release the general
secretary, R. D. Webb, for the month
Of September that he may go to the
state Of New York to serve as one OF
the educational directors in the
campaign to raise million dollars in
New York state for an enlarged pro-
gram of Sunday school work. This
action was taken at the request Of
the international and the New York
State Sunday school association. Mr..
Webb is one Of a few State secre-
taries that have been requested to
assist in the New York campaign.
He will be absent from his work in
South Carolina from September to
October 8.
Under the auspices of the Spartan
burg County Sunday school associa-
ton, school of Principles and Meth
DDS for Sunday school leaders will
be held in Spartanburg the latter
part of January, 1920. Some of the
outstanding leaders in religious edu-
cation will be secured as instructors
for the entire week of the school. 1t
will be held primarily for the Sun
day school workers of Spartanburg
county, but it is expected that peo7
pie will attend it from all sections Of
the State.
Plans are being made to have a
Sunday school exhibit at the State
fair in Columbia the latter part OF
October. This exhibit will be ,edu-
cational in its nature, consistin:S Of
actual work that is being done IN sae
Sunday schools of the State and OF
material that will be suggested Il. all
phases of Sunday school work. A
similar exhibit will be prepared for
many of the county fairs in Novem-
Der.
Special efforts are being put forth
this year to unity the Sunday school
interests and build up all Sunday
schools through the county associa-
tions. According to announcements
from the State association, all coun-
ty conventions will be held by De-
cember /. Early in 1920, the county
associations will hold one day coun-
ty Institutes for specialization work
in every department Of the Sunday
school. At each institute three or
four specialists in Sunday school
work will be in attendance to assist
the county leaders. In addition to
the county meetings, the district as
sociations, which are small divisions
of each county, will hold on the
average two conventions each during
the year. Through this system of
conventions and Institutes, consist
ing of more than 500 in the State
during the year, it is believed that
practically all of the schools in the
State will be reached and that the
Sunday school cause will be greatly
', advanced.

A REDUCTION IN
THE STATE LEVY
Entails Saving 5000, 00,000-South Car
olina Should Adopt 100 Per
Cent Basis.

COlumDld, Aug. L4.-ACIlllS u1oSA
authority vested in him by the last
session of the general assembly in
the general appropriation Act, Rut.
L. Osborne, comptroller general, has
reduced the State levy from nine and
one-half mills, entailing saving to
the taxpayers of approximately
5000, 900.
In making the reduction the comp
troller general said:
seThe appropriation act passed by
the last general assembly amounts to
s3,882,682.78. From this is deduct
ed 1882, 900, the amount estimated
that will be raised from sources 9TH
er than taxes. After making this de-
duction it will be seen that the
amount to be raised by taxation is
$3,5O0,682.7S.
,ssIn 1918 the total taxable proper
ty of the State was assessed at $685.
600, 900, this being an increase over
1917 of 100000. However, 1918
was the year for assessing real estate
and the increase for 1919 over 1918,
it is estimated, will be about S15,-
900, 900, which will give the State
1898, 100000 worth of taxable prop
erty, It is thus shown that nine mills
will raise the necessary amount.
ssIn fixing the levy it has been nee
essary for me to estimate the amount
to be raised from sources other than
taxes, and also the amount of taxa
BILE property in the State. The South
Carolina tax commission has been
engaged in equalizing the assessment
on merchandise. This work was
completed during the week and the
assessments forwarded to the various
county auditors. The tax commission
also have been assessing automobiles
this year, and these classes Of prop
erty are now placed on an equal basis
OF assessment with corporations,
banks and real estate.
GAIL property, real and personal,
is being assessed on a basis Of AZ per
cent and our tax levy is nine mills.
We're these assessments made on a
basis of 100 per cent, as in many
other States, the levy would be about
four mills. It is in this manner that
other States have such small tax
Ieries, their assessments being made
on 100 per cent basis.
.sIt is my opinion that South Caro-
lima should adopt this 100 per cent
basis and thereby reduce the levy to
less than half what it is at present.
1T was at the request Of the general
assembly that the tax commission
adopted the AZ per cent basis. A
low rate of taxation is one OF the big
.gest advertisements to outside capl-
tai a State could have. At. the pres
ent time there are no income, fran
:chise or inheritance laws IN this
State. Such laws should be passed
by the next general assembly. A
large revenue could be derived from
those sources which are contributing
nothing towards the expenses of the
State government"

NO LUMBER FOR BRIDGES.
Tired of Hearing Talk About Liquor
and Woman Suffrage-Want Leg
islature That Will Do Some
thing.

Mr.. Editor of The Herald and News:
This article is not intended as a
matter of criticism but as matter
Of fact.
/ am living beyond my three score
years yet have never witnessed a
time when there was not scrap of
lumber belonging to the county in
my community to be found to repair
bridges.
There are about six or eight little
bridges within mile Of my home
which have always regarded to be
my duty to keep in repair with the
assistance of my sons and neighbors
regardless of remuneration.
). For the past few months we have
faked up every scrap Of plank
around my place that is fit to use, for
) bridge flooring.
i don't think of getting anything
better than pine and cedar poles to
use as siHs.
My neigghbor, E. L. Strauss, was
kind enough to give me a few old
plank he raked from under the saw
dust to repair. little bridge of
about ten feet space and. also enough
cedar poles to answer for sills but
the boys cut them too short and we
had to use pine poles after all.
Last week one of my sons started
to town with his wagon and team, he
hadn't travelled but short distance
when crossing over bridge one of
the mules fell through which dis
abled it to go any further, in fact it
was fortunate that the mule did not
break both hind legs in effort to get
out
- After my neighbor, Tom Epps,
heard of this he suggested that we
club together and buy a few plank
from Mr.. D. w. Buzhardt, who is
running saw mill in this section,
before someone would have to enter
suit against the county for damage
TO stock.
But after ] picked up my Herald
and News and found that Mr.. Z. p.
Richardson had three contracts of
bridge building as follows: The long
bridge over Little river at cost Of
S$3, 600. The Werts bridge over Lit
lie river for $ss5.o0. The bridge at
Chappells over Saluda for $4,000. i
said to Tom Epps let's just wait and
get few slabs from Mr.. Buzhardt
which have already hauled which
viii answer for repair for short
while and surely some of those old
plank from above mention will come
this way ia. the sweet.
do trust to live to see the time
when onr law makers viii inaugurate
d road system that viii give us roads
and bridges that we can travel both
& III safety and satisfaction.
hope the good citizens OF >. Y.
when they go to elect q new set Of
law makers will say to each man who
aspires for office if he intends to
talk liquor and woman suffrage down
yonder at the capitol to just stand
aside and trot up another horse. If
there was eyer a thing that
has become obnoxious to "a
Speaceable set of citizens it is
the continual howl over liquor
or, on top of that now here
comes something worse, woman suf-
frage. If I can keep my old mind act
ing I expect to have something more
to say along this line in the near fu-
ture.
Yours very respectfully,
T. j. w.
