TAX BOOKS OPEN
IN ALL COUNTIES
Little Dog Collar" Must Be Pro-
vided
The State.

The State.
Tax books in all the counties of the
state are scheduled to be opened Sat
urday, October Is, and the annual
payment of state, county and school
taxes will begin with the people Of
this state. The books remain open
from October Is through December
81.
Practically all the counties will be
ready to open the books, it was said
at the comptroller generals office
yesterday. No extension has been
granted to taxpayers this year and
early payment of the taxes is hoped
for
An interesting feature that will
confront the various county treasur-
ers is the 'fittle dog collar" or the
legislatures tax of S1.25 head on
all dogs six months oid or older. This
tax was not collected last year, but
will be taken in this year, it was an
nounced yesterday. Various opinions
are held as to. the tax and a grasp
in the dark is said to be about as
safe as any method. The law says the
tax shall be exclusive Of all other
taxes on dogs, which would mean that
cities, districts, counties or the state
might collect all taxes on the canine
family levied in the past.
One ruling has been made that con-
strues the act to mean "in lieu OF all
other taxes" although the act plainly
saws exclusive of all other taxes. The
six months old or older question IS
still being kicked around, it beng
uncertain as to whether this applies
to when the property or dog is re-
turned or when tha si.25 is collected
between October Is and Decenrbef

Newberry Odd Fellows Banquet

Tonight (Fridayl the members of
Pulaski lodge No. 20, I. O. 0. F., will
have a get-together meeting and sup
per at the Newberry hotel. Plates
have been prepared for about seventy
five members and invited guests in
cluding one or two speakers from
abroad and prominent in Odd Fellow
circles. Like all fraternal orders
there are times of ebb and flow in the
tide of new members and it is source
of much pleasure to state that during
the past several months old Pulaski
No. 20 has reached high water mark
and the good feeling and enthusiasm
finds expression in the age old desire
to "eat, drink and be merry"
Pulaski lodge is probably the old
est lodge of any fraternal order in
Newberry, having been granted a
charter during the late spring of
.1849. The exact date of the charter
is not known since it, long with other
valuable records, was destroyed by
fire many years ago; but it is known
that C. NJ. Jones, father of Dr.. +. c.
Jones. and W. H. Hunt, father of |.
H. and w. H. Hunt, were charter
members and were initiated into the
order June 4th, 1S49.
In looking over an old roster of
members which fortunately has been
preserved, the writer is sure there are
many names that are near and dear
to some of the oldest and most prom
inent families in Newberry. The
mention of these names will bring
back old memories CT the good old
days of the long ago. 1t is our pur-
pose, therefore, to write an article
for next weeks paper in which will
be given the names of members of
Pulaski lodge who were leaders in
their day, not, only in fraternal cir
icles but prominent in community and
state affairs.

HOME DESTROYED BY FIRE
FAMILY BARELY ESCAPED
Neizhbors and Other Friends Show
How to Sympathise With Those
in Distress

Monday night the home of Mr.. E.
J. Adams and family of Pomaria 8
was completely destroyed with its
contents by fire between 10 and II
o'clock. Mr.. Adams was aroused from
his sleep by the roaring of the flames,
at which time the dining room and
kitchen were falling in, the rest of
the building being in flames. Mr.. and
Mrs. Adams had barely time to save
their children. They can not account
for the fire, as there was no fire IN
the house during the day, except IN
the kitchen, and none there after 3
o'clock that afternoon. At 9 o'clock
Monday night Mrs. Adams was in
the kitchen and saw no signs of fire.
Besides the home and contents, Mr..
Adams lost his wood house and well
house with practically all his farming
implements. He estimates his loss
at $4,000, and has only $500 insur-
ance on his dwelling, with none on
the furniture.
The ladies of the Pomaria section
went to the scene early after the fire
to witness the sad affair. They offer
ed their services, telling Mrs. Adams
to take the children to Newberry and
get clothing all at their expense. The
men also got Mr.. Adams to go to POI
maria for supply of rations at their
expense. Mr.. and Mrs. Adams were
invited to the following stores in
Newberry for gifts FROM the proprie-
tors: To G. B. Summer & Son for
furniture, Copeland Brothers and
Paul Anderson for dry goods and
clothing, and other good friends gave
literally. They thank all these friends
and neighbors for their kindness and
thoughtfulness and are very grateful
for the great liberality shown.
Mr.. Adams had gone only day or
so before the fire to Pomaria for a
2-horse load of provision, and the
day before that he and his wife had
come to Newberry and bought dry
goods amounting to s110. All that
and everything else in the house was
destroyed by the fire.
Mr.. and Mrs. Adams lost 12-year-
cid daughter, Faye, last year about
this time. She was one Of the nine
children in the family.
Mr.. Adams was born and reared IN
the neighborhood of New Hope church
in which vicinity he has lived all his
life. He is member of that church,
and his life has been such that the
people have always made him an offic-
er of the church and trustee of
school, besides giving him the posi-
tion of Sunday school superintendent.
Indeed and truly, GA good name is
rather to be chosen than great rich
es."

Plea To Senate Committee To Save Pima Cotton Industry

Worlds Cotton conference at Liver pool and Manchester, where nearly 1000 delegates were present from over 20 cotton producing countries and had many conferences there with producers of Egyptian cotton. Their methods of cultivation are very dis similar to ours, and it was difficult to obtain detailed figures of their production costs on the basis which we keep our figures; but there seemed to be general agreement that their production costs on this years Sakel cotton would be ap- proXimately 21 cents per pound, based on their average production of about 300 pounds per acre. This production cost was based on the payment to labor of from 6 to 10 piastres per day, the equivalent of from 25 to 40 cents per day in our money. The standard of living for the Egyptian laborers could not for a moment be considered in America, and it is manifest that our basic wage for labor in the Southwest is at least five times that paid in Egypt. In the American production cost 50 per cent is paid for labor.
 Attached hereto, under the head of
 exhibit "F," is statement very carefully prepared from the records of reliable producers. showing in de- tail the cost of production this sea- son in the Southwest, based on a yield of one -half bale per acre, and a basic wage of g per day for agri- cultural labor, showing a cost to the producer of American Egyption long staple cotton, delivered at New. Eng land manufacturing points, of S4 S3-100 cents per pound.
 E The production cost of Sakel cot ton. almost identical with Pima, and shipped from Alexandria, Egypt. and laid down at New England points, for this seasons production, is esti- mated at 21 6-10 cents per pound.
 In statement prepared last fall by MT. Schofield of the United States Department of Agriculture on the production cost of American-Egyp- tion or Pima cotton in the South west, he shows an annual production cost last season of 52 6-10 cents. Sa- kel cotton from Egypt's crop of last year was freely offered during the past summer laid dwn in New Bed ford and other New England points son for the recent paralysis of our American long staple industry. While production costs in the Southwest
 have greatly decreased since Mir. Schofield's estimate was made, it Is manifest that even at the present low scale of wages, which is less than what could justly be consid- cred normal, we cannot produce our cotton and lay it down in Men Eng land manufacturing districts at a less price than 3o cents.

finer goods. such as voiles. dimi ies, stockings, nlerceriZed goods and fine fabrics mived with silk, are made from No. 110 to No 130 yarns.
 A particular factor to which at tention should be given is that Pima cotton is particularly well adapted to the various manufacturing processes such as mercerizing, dyeing and of bleaching.
 For use in all these fabrics, Amer ican- Egyptian cotton has been found to be practically unexcelled and for use in aeroplane cloth made of No. 80 yarns it has been found nearly as satisfactory as the best of Irish linen. It is an interesting fact that cord tire fabric, made from uncombed American Egyptian cotton, shows a greater strength than fabric made of combed Sakel, an exceedingly fund amental point to the American tire manufacturer. The elasticity is also unexcelled. In the past a compara- lively small proportion of fine cot ton fabrics. mercerized or otherwise has been made in the United States. The production of this class of goods is largely controlled by Great Brit ain; but there is every reason to be- lieve that with the continuance in America of the production of Amer ican- Egyptian cotton our spinners will largely increase their manufac- ture of fine goods, thus affording a stabilized demand for American, Egyptian, even should the demand for use in automobile tires decrease. Egypt produces annually about 100000 bales of Sakel cotton, sold to the manufacturers of Europe and America, and principally woven into tire fabrics. The American manu- facturers of tires are amply pro- tected in this tariff bill by a duty on imported tires and tire fabrics, including cords; and it seems but simple justice, in view of the fore going facts, that the American cot ton producer should be afforded equal protection. It is also evident that we are justified in the state- ment that the production of Amer ican- Egyptiin cotton Is an essential national inoustry.
 Difference in Costs of Production
 In Egypt and the United States
 The question tLat confronts us Is will the continued Importation of the Egyption long staple cotton produced by the peasant labor of Egypt at a wage tf less than 40 cents day de-
 stroy the American industry pro- dueed by American labor with Amer l. ican standards of wages and living unless reasonable tariff protection is afforded:
 In a statement presented to the ways and means committee of the house on April 25, I showed that from the best information available the fellaheen labores of Egypt was receiving 40 cents per day for 12 hours work. I recently attended the
