ONE HORSE FARMER
ASKS PERTINENT QUESTIONS


Editor The Herald and News:
see in the papers that a num-
Der of cotton factories have declar-
ed dividends-some 100, some 200,
and some 800 per cent.
notice also that where large
dividend is declared it is always is
sued in stock and not in money.
Why is this?
Is this an opoprtune time to in
crease The capacity and output CT
factories, when material is so, costly
and labor so uncertain? Scme say
it is done to avoid paying income
tax. Is that SO?
Has congress made one set OF laws
for taxing (or not taxing) corpora
tiors, and another set of laws for
taSing individuals?
Js one man may invest his income
in factory stock without paying tax
on his income, why may not another
invest his income for improving his
farm, or increasing the stock in his
store without paying an income tax!
IF a factory or other establishment
has hundred thousand capital stock
invested, and makes three hundred
per cent. on its investment, that
amounts TO three hundred thousand
dollars which would be turned loose
III the community if it were paid to
the stockholders in money.
s.ss Can you give an estimate OF the
millions and billions of dollars that
have been slowed away in the vaults
of manufacturing companies in the
I,uited States within the last SIX
months?
The census reports may give the
value of all different kinds Of fac
tories in operation last year. Now
ifeaeh one should stow away money
eoual to it's value, what would be the
suinf Even one tenth Of this amount
wonld be big sum OF money.
Barring the panics We have had
heretofore there was very little
money lied mp in. the South, we are
. al the verge of panic now, and
there must be q good deal OF money
tied up here at home.
5 Now if . farmer or merchant owns
Z hundred bales Of cotton and at the
sine time owns thousand dollars
. s. .wsoreh Of stock in a cotton factory,
would it not be to his advantage and
For the benefit. of all parties concern

maSbe many factories that manufac-

could do likewise.
I mas be wrong in my supposltlon
aboat Tie factories issuing stock TO
avoid paying taxes, also about their
holHing money. / only see what they
can do. They may hold back their
money in order to buy cotton at a
very low price, then later buy little
cotton at a high price, and after
wards boons the prices of their man

clare q big dividend on their swollen

i hope yen will give the law and

tions and set me and others right II

Executioners Of Chinese Robber, Sen

A correspondent in China sends the
following:
In Ha Tony, little village just
north Of Canton city, there lived one
Tsao All Sum. There was shrewd
suspicion that he had stolen many

is sacrosanct beast of burden, and
under village law to steal one is
capital offense. Tsao All Sum stole
his last OK month or two ago, and
when the hue and cry went out he
fed. he was eventually caught and
he had to face trial before the elders
OF three villages, for he had not con-
fined his depredations to his immedi-
ate neighborhood. He was found gull
ty and given the maximum penalty,
namely, to be buried alive. On the

Coral Reefs Far From Ocean.

Mention Of coral reefs naturally
brings to ones mind picture of palm
dotted inlets girt with white sands, In
a tropical sea, but biologists have
found coral reefs in the middle OF the
great continents. These, of course, be-
long to the past ages of the earth's
history, and Paleozoic corals have been
found in the Timan-Urals and inl
the Salurian rocks of the New ST.
berian islands, but the most striking
characteristics Of these fossil corals
are similar to those Of the coraIs of
today 1t Is assumed that you re-
fer to number of remarkable coral
reefs that within recent years havej
been explored near cambridge, on the
Flint river, In Georgia. These reefs
are ascribed to the Tertiary age, and
In one case n very large portion of
the reef exposed consisted of coral
heads, some of which were more than
c foot in diameter. Between 25 and.
80 species Of coral have been recog'
niZed in these reefs.

School Notes.

The first literary program by the
Highland Literary Society of the
Scotland High School was given in
the school last Thursday afternoon
The program consisted of four days'
Chautauqua course, and was very
cleverly worked out by the members.
Howard Deming made q very capabls
stage manager, opening the season
with a typical and appropriate pep
speech. and introducing the various
numbers. The first days program
was given by the Dixie Girls, an or
ganization of nine girls who gave
varied program. Besides the chorus
numbers, solos were given by 10
MarcAant. Gladys Colwell and Erma
Stevens, duet by Lucille and Fran
ces Cisar, q piano solo by Cecilia
Wanek and readings BY Frances Cisar.
Owing to "poor train connections"
Howard cambridge, who was to have
given a scientific lecture on the sec.
ond day, was unable to appear, but
in his place the Junior Chautauqua
was given. consisting of folk dances
and songs by eight pupils Of the sec-
ond grade. under the direction of
Miss Berry. The Drama Company
on the third day put 90 q humorous
play, Borrowing Trouble with an
all star cast of eight characters.
The closing program was q rousing

there was q fine family row over the

What Size Do you Take2

Few people understand the mean
ings Of the numbers and sizes on ar
ticles Of clothing, says London An
sWers.
In hats and caps the size is one-half
the sum total of the long and short
iliameters Of the head. In other words,
IF your head measures 13A inches,
your size in hats is 6B.
The size in gloves indicates the
number OF Inches round the knuckies
when the hand is closed.
The length in inches Of your foot is
the number you take in socks. In
women's hose the length of the leg is
usually three times the length Of the
foot.
