OLD RAIL FENCE is M0URNED
Too WastefuI for Modern Days, but II
Had Its Points of Real
Usefulness.

Among the once necessities of farm
life that reflected prodigality in the
use of valuable timber was the old rail
fence. Like many other almost by
cones of rural life, its place in farm
wastefulness now is well established,
and yet it had its uses for which the
straight-line wire fence cannot qualify.
The old rail fences serrated
stretches were the homes of small ami
NAL life thar now is rapidly disappear
ing. Around its timbers there grew
the uncultivated blackberry, with its
sister the raspberry, and among its
recesses there thrived the elder, whose
fruit once-.was coveted pie material
and whose blossoms were the founda-
tion for elderberry wine that matrons
served of a winter evening when the
neighbors gathered.
The rail fence, with its invariable
underground, was the favorite protec-
ton for Bob White in winter, and from
its top he sang in the warmer seasons.
Beneath, the little ground squirrel bur-
rowed. From safe retreat he chartered
if some intruder came near to annoy
him as he was busily engaged in gath
ering his store of food for the snow
time.
To the harvest hand 1t afforded pro-
lection at the end of the long row for
a brief respite and its corners formed
shaded hooks under which the water
jug might be kept.
And from what royal timber was
this old fence constructed! Black wal
nut logs, chestnut logs and the smooth
length of the ash tree were cleft by
numerous rail splitters for the seven
high" fence that stood the storms of
decades. There was many black
walnut rail whose timber would make
the manufacturer of gun stocks chortle
with satisfaction had he such pres
ent supply of wood at his command

tax levy from Il L. mills to nine mills
Revenue producing estimates are com.
piled by the governor and from the pro-
posed nine mills levy the chief execu-
tive would collect $4,050,O00. In addi
ton to this new sources Of income
would bring in s2.2O0,OOO. New sources
of income recommended are as follows:
Income tax, S1.200,Oe0; inheritance tax
100000; corporation and business Ii
ccnscs, 100000, and consumption tax,
gasoline, tobacco and soft drinks, $780,
600. These recommendations were con-
tanned in the governors message and
the financial plan Of the budget for a
nine mill levy is based on the incorpor-
alton Of these items in the tax system.
| In addition to the new sources of in
come the usual collections from the de-
partmcnts and corporation fees are
taken into consideration.
The governor calls attention to what
he terms the unsoundness Of erecting
permanent buildings out Of yearly ap-
preparations and how this policy has
always tended to increase the tax levy.
For this reason the governor does not
recommend any appropriations for per-
manent buildings. This. however, does
not Indicate that the chief executive
does not think that the buildings are
needed. but on the other hand he fav-
ors IL permanent building programme if
plan can be devised for such without
placing direct tax on the people for
the buildings. In this building pro-
gramme the governor would recon-
mend IL plan that would not result in
direct taxation. Items which he strikes
from the budget rs laid upon the desks
Of the members Of the general assem-
bly,. are as follows: Adjutant generals

olina, $234,OG4; the Citadel, $4,000;
Winthrop, s20S,101.53; state medical

The governor says. in speaking Of
the budget law, that he believes 1.-THE
act is undoubtedly proving itself to be
one Of the wiscst pieces Of financial
legislation that has ever been paced
upon our statutes" In calling atten-
tion to the workings Of the system the
governor points out that this year there
is no deficit in the treasury, something
unusual for South t3aEolina. In 1913
