CHILDREN CELEBRATE FOURTH
WITH MASQUERADE PARTY

Little Miss Julia Weeks was a dain-
ty and charming hostess on Monday
afternoon. July 4th, at masquerade
party given at the home of her par
ents, DR.. and Mrs. G. D. Weeks, in
Harrington street.
About eighteen little folks were in
vited to participate. in this delightful
AFFAIR and they made a pretty picture
out under the shady trees in their
gay masquerade costumes. Many
represented flowers, such as the water
lily, the rose, and the tulip, while
others appeared as gypsies, japanese,
Colonial danes, ballet dancers,
witches and valentines.
Many interesting games were en-
ioyed by the children, including rid
dies and various other contests which
made the time pass merrily, and in
the course of the afternoon lemonade
and cake were served. At twilight
each child was given sparkler, and
these, when simultaneously lighted,
made a pretty effect which was a fit
ting climax to this lovely fourth OF
July party.

SOME OF THE LIFE HISTORY
OF THE BOIL WEEVlL

In order that the farmers may more
fight the pest l am giving
a synopsis of its life history.
Only a small percentage of the
adult weevils that hibernate in the
fall survive the winter. These emerge
in the spring and go directly to the
nearest cotton field and feed upon
the young tender plants. AS soon as
squares begin to form the female pro-
ceeds to puncture them and deposits
one or more eggs in each square
punctured. Each female deposits, on
an average about 140 squares. The
egg will hatch in about days, pro-
ducing the larva. The larva stage
continues about 8 days then changes
into the pupa 1t continues in this
stage for about 6 days longer and
emerges out of the cotton square or
boil :. full grown worm. Thus you see
that from egg to adult is only about
81 days.
The adult weevils that survived the
winter have already deposited their
eggs and most Of them have likely

Sundays State contained among its

MALL Just think of it if you can.
The first rural daily delivery of mail
in Richland county was just twenty
years ago. Why we all feel that we
have had the thing all the time. In
fact we believe that we did have it
in Newberry before that time, but not
SO long. If we mistake not one of the
first rural delivery routes in the state
was out from Slighs and was secured
through Mr.. Asbury Latimer who was
then the congressman from this dis

how it is earned. The Greenwood In
dexJournal has figured out scale OF
profits that will accrue to both the
promoter and the fighters and the
amount of money the federal govern
ment will likely extract from all who
are making money out Of the event.
The deductions of the lndexJournai
are as follows:
To begin with, the government IN
| it's announcement estimated that re-
ceipts from the admission tax, if the
sale of seats brought $1,6OO,O00
would be 100000.
On the 100000 which he is to re-
ceive Dempsey, without taking into
consideration allowances for expens-.
es, etc., would pay a normal income
tax of s26, ,480 and a surtax of $751;
$40. or total income tax of $685.
900. Carpenter, on the same oasls'
would pay to the government from
his 100000 end of the purse nor
i NAL tax of s15,846 and a surtax OF
s77.51O, or "a total tax Of s93,S50.
! Tex Rickard, the promoter, expects
to clear 100000 in profits. it is re-
ported, and; income tax would be
! the same as that paid by Dempsey, or
S163,990.
These four items give a total OF
more than s5s1,OOo payable to the
government in taxes. 1t is probable
that the total of these items will be
somewhat lower, because OF the
amounts allowable to Dempsey and
CARPENTER for expenses, which are
deductible from the taxable income
before the tax is computed, but the
difference as result of these deduc-
tions is not expected to be very large.
1t is interesting to note that these
computations reduce the profits OF
Dempsey. after taxes are deducted TO
s136,O1O, while Carpenters end OF
the purse will dwindle to s1o6,65o al
ter the taxes are deducted. The $780,
600 purse, therefore, is actually a
purse of s242,6eo, so far as the
fighters profits are concerned, and
the government will get more than
half of that original S5O0,O0O.
In figuring the grand total which
the United States government IS to
receive as direct tax on earnings and
profits made indirectly from the light
many things are to be taken into con-
sideration, such as the transporta-
ton taxes paid by those who journey
! to the fight, profits by officials and
others connected with the fight, etc.
If these taxes come up to expecta-
tions, the governments share of the

Anderson Mail.

Anderson Mail.
Well, the big fight is over and about
the only thing worth learning from
the affair is that it is pretty profl-
table source of revenue for Uncle
Sam. The Golfers of the national
treasury are to be enriched between
s750,0OO and s1.OoO,O0O from the
fracas. Our only regret about the
matter is that the federal tax isn't
more. In fact, so far as we are con-
cerned, we wouldn't care If the ousl-
ness of prize fighting was taxed out
of existence altogether. There's no.
thing to it but lot of low-browed,
brutal horseplay. 1t doesn't deserve
to be classed with sports.
But as a source of revenue for
Uncle Sam the big fight is all right,
since there are no scruples about
where his tax money comes from or

money enough or gold enough to buy
the soul of the south but we are fast
turning over everything to federal
control. So far as the roads go when
the federal government spends any
amount, however small, that means
that the federal authorities must have
the work done just as they say, and
sometimes that is not bad when 1t
comes to road building, but some
how we always like to have just a
iittle to say about the things that we
are paying for. 1t may be all right
for the federal government to take
over the roads. But the next step is
going to be the schools and we just
can not become reconciled to the fact
that federal control of the schools is
a good thing for any of the states,
and we know it would be bad for the
south. But the good old doctrine
of state sovereignty that we fought
for and for which we debated is about
dead so far as anything more than a
theory, and pity is that it is.
One of the troubles is that our in
tellectual and material progress has
been too great, that is it has too far
exceeded our moral and spiritual de-
81
low like Senator Watson who has the
courage and ability up there to get
up and tell them in Washington oc-
casionally all about the spirit of the
south and how there is not enough
gold in the world to buy it. That
sounds good any way, and somewhat
like the patriotism of the good old

far above his critic in education and
Intellectually as the sun S above a

trouble is that these badly educated
people think they are right. They
laugh at an educated persons correct

REPRESENTATIVE H. P. Fulmer in {

REPRESENTATIVE H. P. Fulmer in an
interview with The State says he
would limit the rate OF interest the
federal reserve system of banks
should charge the member banks and
make the maximum five per cent, and
he is right in that, if this system is to
help the country it should not be the
purpose to make too much money out
Of the fellow it. is helping, but, Mr..
Eutmer, how about helping the little
fellow whes really pays the interest,"
Win the reduction in the rate you will
allow the federal bank to charge the
member bank reduce the rate the
member bank will charge the man
who is paying the interest? He will
just go on paying s and 9 per cent
and glad to get the money at that
rate: not realizing that he can not
rnske It at the price he is securing
for, his produce.
If you want to help the man who is
really paying the interest and who is
the only producer of the wealth OF
the country you fix the rate at which
the, member bank shall make the loan
or rather the rate which it shall not
exceed. And then fix the law so that
tbe money of the federal bank shall
not be ally controlled by one or two
banks or even three banks in New
York.
This federal reserve system is a
good one if the purpose for which it
was created is carried out.
