PROTECT YOUR COTTON.

There is quite lot Of cotton being
hauled from the gins back to the
farms. Practically every bale ginned
in Oconee up to this time is perfect
cotton and will bring the highest
market price if kept in it's present
condition.
But it won't bring that price if it
is thrown out on the ground on the
farms and the under sides Of the
bales allowed to accumulate moist
urc from the soil, and the exposed
sides permitted to take alternate
rain and sunshine. This sort OF ex-
posurc is sure to damage the quality
OF the cotton. True, the damage
will not extend entirely through the
bales. but when the cotton is sold
it will bring the price that the sur
face condition shows in grading.
No reasonable man will question the
justice OF this. The outer portion
OF the bale is the only source OF
Judging the quality Of the entire
bale.
BE reasonable. Protect your cot
ton in such manner that the outer
surface will rightly indicate the
quality Of your product. When you
sell your cotton you will get the
price that the outside indicates that
it !, worth. and the inside will bring
the S.niG price as the outsidc-nc
more.
There are hundreds Of bales Of cot.
ton in CConcc to-..Cy thrown out on
the ground to deteriorate. The man
who throws out his cotton and lets
it lie in the weather voluntaril!
throws away many good dollars.

More Instructions
From Internal
Revenue Collector

M. Cathcart today. but our men
have no time to canvass people at
work or in their homes. Every per-
son liable to tax or return must
take the initiative in performing the
duties required by the Revenue Law
If he needs information, blank forms,
or advice, he should seek an Income
Tax officer.
"The big thing now in Income Tax
is to get the first payments in be-
tween now and March Is. That is
the due date,e under the new law.
Frankly speaking, the Government
needs the money to meet its obliga'
tions falling due on that date.
"The returns of 1918 income are
due at the same time. Either a COM
plete return showing thetrue tax, or
tentative return Of the estimated
tax. must accompany each and every
payment made between now and
March Is.
"The tentative return Of estimated
tax is relief measure adopted by the
Bureau for taxpayers who cannot
complete their full returns on time.
A taxpayer who needs additional
time for making return cannot be
relieved of the payment of the tax
due, or the estimated tax due. But,
On making the required payment be-
tween now and March Is, the tax
paver can secure further time up to
as DAYS in which to file the complete
return.
, "The Bureau in this way meets the
convenience Of taxpayers who are
pressed for time, but it cannot relieve
, them of the requirement that thei
taxes due on March Is must be pait
!. between now and the due date.
! 1T is urged that every taxpaye
i. who can do so make payment in full
= when filing his return. This metho
!. will greatly aid the Revenue officers
j and relieve the taxpayer of the neces
sity of guarding against oversight o
:. future installment dates.
# "In each case where payment !
i, full is not made, the first paymen
q must be at least onefourth Of tn
% total tax due, or at least one-fourt
N Of the estimated tax due. No ma
g ter which of these methods is use
20 in paying taxes due March 10, tn

SHAKESPEARE SAID 1T

Since those dim-distant days when
man
First from the primal mud began
Her ancestors were African.
Her honest. dusky, shining face
Proclaims her purity of race.
That hue you view with eyes shut
tight
Contrasted with her skin, seems
white,
And so perhaps you'll think it silly
To learn that she was christened Lilly,
Els shock of hair is turnip-hued,
His skin is splotched, his speech IS
rude,
His features all are coarse and crude.
The awkwardness of his huge hulk
Is only equalled by its bulk,
His mother Simple, trusting girD
Bestowed on him the name of Pearl.
And one, whose facial design
Suggests comic valentine.
His buck teeth wear an ochre tint,
His nose askew, his eyes a-squint,
Match an impeachment of speech
To make a clam laugh on the beach
Most bashful Of all men | know,
His parents named him Romeo.
And here's a girl, whose broad ex-
panse
Suggests an infant elephants.
Likewise, tbs her unhappy fate
Her members won't coordinate,
So as she rambles round the town
The very lamp-posts tumble down.
And still her parents had the face
To pin on her the name of Grace.
And here is one who casts a gloon
By merely passing through a room
Life is sad and lingering ache;
The universe is Gods mistake.
Sugar is bitter to her taste;
Laughter is harsh and loves a waste
Her nights cry, her, days q NOPE
Her loving parents named her Hope
Last, yes, and least | know chap,
The biggest failure on the map.
An inefficient. shiftless shirk.
He fails even in his welded life;
! I'm shocked to say he fights his wife
But never, even once. has licked her
Yet she's compelled to call him "viC
tori"
