Tho books for the COllectlOn VI sIaIS
and county taxes will not be open un-
til November Is. That is because the
auditor has been compelled to wait for
those adjustments by the state tax
commission. The treasurer, however,
Is issuing tags and receipts for dog
taxes now. The dog tax is separate
and distinct from other taxes, and pay
ment of the dog tax is evidenced by
separate receipt.
The rain that began falling Sunday
morning is generally considered quite
accountable, for one thing because 1t
will put the earth in better shape FOR
fall blowing, and because for another
thing, it will settle the thick coating
of dust on recently worked roads and
permit the development OF better
surfacing.
Schools of the nation are asked to

That is a very important advertise
mont of the Peoples Bank and Trust
Company today. 1t gives sensible and
reliable information as to how 10
handle the boil weevil problem, from
the standpoint Of level-headed business
people, who back their judgment with
their cash. This advertisement should
be read carefully by every farmer over
and over again, then clipped and
nosted in a conspicuous place in the
home. Supply people will also do well
to read it. Information like this is
worth something to everybody.
Supervisor Brown had everything set
last Wednesday for the removal OF the
chaingang from near Rock Hill, to
point near Blacks mill, west of York
vile: but with the wires bringing
warnings of an approaching tropical
storm, and a pretty stiff wind rising as
though it were sure evidence OF what
was coming, the plans for Wednesday
were Cancelled. Different farmers who
had been engaged to assist in the re-

siege of bad weather, and the removal
was put off to a better time. 1t Is
hoped that the transfer will be COM
pleted during the present week.
BY way of illustrating, in ore of his
sermons the other day. what he meant
by men continuing to live in the
spirit, Rev. W. II. Stevenson speci-
fiCally mentioned two formerly well

The men were David Leslie and
John Boyd. ~ never saw either OF
these men," said Mr.. Stevenson.
"Thcy were dead many years before !
went into that ncighborhood; but ]
saw their influence among the pco-
pie, their spiritual characters, ard so
familiar did | become with them, that
I sincerely believe that if | should be
thrown in association with either of
them in the flesh l would recognize
him." Mr.. Stevenson's remarkable
declaration probably meant very little
to people who were not acquainted
with the men referred to; but II will
be wonderfully real to Nccly's Creek
people and 10 Rock Hill people over
fifty years of age who knew these
