TAXING SAND AND SALT

In getting up the protective tariff
bill the Republicans are not letting
anything escape that the great mass
of people are compelled to use in their
daily round of life. The latest and
most indefensible performance in this
direction is putting tax Of 40 cents
upon 200 pounds sacks of salt.
Senator Hefiin; of Alabama. who is
noted for his Jealous and increasing
efforts in behalf of the common pco-
pie, said of this tariff tax on salt:
You leave the whole American
people absolutely helpless in the hands
of the Salt Trust of the United States.
The fo"ces that control the Salt Trust
will controi the output and price of
salt in "ay to m!.;c the greatest
profit possible, and you have enabled
them to do that by the use, or rather,
the misuse and abuse, of the taxing
power"
Referring to the tax on sand, Sena-
tor Heflin said:
"Sand is used in making every kind
milk bottles for the baby, as sug-
gested by my good friend from South
Carolina (Mr. DiaD. l am glad he
mentioned that. 1t shows that nobody
not even the infant in his cradle, can
escape the tax gatherers of the Re-
publican party, and you have just
voted to place tax ond sand"
Senator G'hos. T.. Watson, of Gcor.
gia, in his usual sarcastic style thus
referred to these outrageous items
in the protective tariff bill:
almost every hearthstone in Am
erica, almost every monument, almost
every tomb has called for the use of
sand, and when the Republicans tax
it they do what has never been done
before in any country on earth. Even
the patriotic American chicken must
pay tax on the sand in his gizzard.
''And salt! 1 should like to have
somebody tell me what article of food
can dispense with salt, from the soup
to the walnuts and the wine? The
wine having been abolished by our
genial friends on the other side, the
salt is now confined to the walnuts
but if you are wise you take salt with
your pecan nuts, your almond nuts,
your hickory nuts, your peanuts, and
your walnuts. No fresh meat may be
used without salt; no meat can be
cured witout salt; no fish can be kept
without salt.
''The herdsman on the plains must
have salt for his cattle. The house
keeper on the farm must give old
'mooley' her regular allowance of
salt. The rich mans pleasure horse
must have his salt; the poor mans
work horse must have his salt"

'VAMPS" WHO
MADE HISTORY
By JAMES c. YOUNG.
THE WOMAN WHO TURNED PHIL
OSOPHERS' HEADS.
Mcclure Newspaper Syndicate.


WHEN we thumb the book Of his
w tory and turn back 10 u page
written $500 years ago, that seems a
very long time to US. But human ma
ture then was much the same as it Is
now. Women ruled In the Fourth CEN
tury, B. c., no less than they do to-
day.
Just as the great rcet Homer was
claimed by several cities, there also
was intense rivalry concerning the
birthplace of Lais. She would seem to
have been born In Hiccara, Sicily. At
the age Of seven she fell under the eye
Of the Athenian general, Meals, who
directed her education. Lais became
a woman Of much greater accomplish
ment than most Of her sex in that far
of time.
Lais lived for time In Corinth, then
went to Athens where she soon became
one Of the most celebrated figures.
Diogenes. the cynic, and Aristippus fol-
lowed docilely In her train. Their de-
votion led Lais to this gentle bit Of
sarcasm: II do not understand what
is meant by the austerity OF these
philosophers" she said. "for they are
as much in my power as the rest Of the
Athenians."
The rule Of Lais In Athens continued
for long time. Her influence was
sufficient to make mems fortunes al
most at will. She dallied with the
most noted men Of the state. Her
house was meeting place for all that
was brilliant In Athens. But even SO
splendid vampire was destined to
know misery. She fell In love with q
youth named HippOlochus. Unlike the
philosophers, he tired Of Lais and left
her. She could not be consoed. despite
the attentions Of Athens greatest men.
Her heart yearned for the careless
youth who had loved and went away.
What a burden that must have been
to her pride At last she could stand
her unhappiness no longer and fol-
lowed HippOlochus to Thessaly. Lais'
reputation had preceded her. Perhaps
she used her wiles In Thcssaly as she
had In Athens. This so enraged the
women that they stormed her home.
end led the unfortunate vampire to
the temple Of Aphrodite. where they
stoned her 10 death in $40 b. @. The
reader wonders, after all these years,
II Hippolochus grieved at her tragic
end.

PRESENT WEEVIL CONDITIONS
No Need for Extreme Pessimism A.
To Damage

SleTlSOn COllegS, June 3.-After a
conference here between Director w.
w. Long, of the Extension Service,
Prof. A. f. Conradi. Entomologist and
V. V. Williams, until recently asso-
ciated with the Delta Labratory and
now with the Extension Service to
conduct poisoning demonstrations in
this State, Director Long issued a
statement on the boil weevil situation
to the effect that many of the insecs
now present on cotton in various parts
of the state are not boil weevils but
cowpea pod weevils, since the real
loss to be expected depends on wealth
er conditions in June and july. Di-
rector Longs statement which should
tend to temper the alarm now felt by
many, is given below:
"A great majority of the weevils in
most of the cotton fields at this time
are cowpea pod weevils and not boil
weevlls. These insects in most cases
look SO very much alike that it is diff
hcult for the average man to disting-
gulsh them. The cowpea weevil is not
primarily cotton pest but occurs on
cotton only temporarily in the absence
of cowpeas. This pest is most iniuri-
Gus along the line from Barnwell to
Marlboro county. In this belt it is ex-
pected every season at this time, and
the most successful practice is to de-
lay chopping of young cotton until the
attacks are over. Wherever these in
sects attack cotton that has been chop
ped to stand the value of rapid thor
ough cultivation cannot be overesti-
mated.
Summer Weather Main Factor
The fact that the boil weevil pass
ed the winter in great numbers and
may be expectd in cotton fields at this
time in unusual abundance, does not
necessarily mean great damage to the
cotton crop. Situations like this have
occurred before in the history of the
boil weevil in this country, where they
came out of winter quarters early and
IN great numbers, causing a panicky
condition among the farmers. The loss
that we may expect depends on the
weather conditions of June and July.
With the approach of hot weather
the present generation of weevils may
be practically destroyed, so that the
abandoning of cotton crop at this
time could hardly be justified by the
records. The cotton should be given
frequent and shallow cultivation to
keep down the weeds and to air the
soil. AS the bulk of the cotton crop in
South Carolina is made by share-crop-
bepers, the women and children
should be used to pick weevils, and
this should be so supervised that it
Is done with great thoroughness, 9TH
erwise it has no value whatever.
The damage done by weevils in
Jurlng the bud at this time is fre-
quently overestimated the only effect
being slightly delaying the growth of
the plant.
Farmers prepared for dusting are
advised that the first busting may be
given in heavily infested fields, about
the time the fruiting begins, and this
to be followed by the second applica-
ton when ten to fifteen per cent. of
the squares have been punctured, at
which time three dustings should be
given in succession four days apart.
infestation counts are easily made by
anyone and directions are furnished |
by the Extension Service"

BEST CABBAGE FOR STORING
Should Be Carefully Grown and of Va
riety Well Adapted to Keeping,
Say Experts.

Cabbage for storing should be care
fully grown and handled and of a va
riety well adapted to keeping, say the
vegetable specialists of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
The heads should be solid and all
loose leaves removed and practically
free from injuries caused by insects
and diseases. They should be placed
in a storage house so constructed and
arranged as to prevent drip from the
structure striking the stored heads. 1t
is also essential that moisture and ven
tilation be so controlled as to prevent
the condensation of moisture on the
cabbage While in storage The tenn
perature maintained in common stor-
age houses may vary from 80 to As or
so degrees Fahrenheit, depending on
outdoor conditions. In no case should
the cabbage be allowed to freeze
The usual type of construction en-
ployed in commercial storage houses
is that of broad, low house with an
alley sufficiently wide to admit a team
and wagon through the center, and
with the storage bins or shelves ar
ranged on either side The cabbage is
placed on shelves in layers, one to
three layers deep. or in crates or venti-
lated bins. Banks. pits and cellars
are also largely used for the keeping
of the crop.

AFFECT FARM VALUES
BY CHANGES IN TYPE
Certain Crops Have Ceased to
Be Profitable.
Farmer in Making New Selection Will
Do Well to Look Back and Follow
Economic Changes That Have
Occurred.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture)
Many farmers. before buying a farm,
have saved themselves future losses
by looking we'll into the matter of
Il probable change in the type of
farming practiced in the region they
have under consideration. Certain
crops may cease TO be profitable owing
to the development Of other regions
more favorably situated for their pro
duction and marketing Some crops
may have to be abandoned because
Of disease, insect pests or other causes.
The United States Department of Ag-
riculture suggests the test question:
Is the farm selected adapted to such
possible changes?
For instance the farm selected may
now be growing beans, potatoes, corn,
oats, clover and hay, with the pros
cease to be profitable. The question
then arises-can some other crop or
crops be found to replace them? Very
few regions have a wide range of
crops, especially in general farming,
and adaptability to new crops is very
important consideration.
Can the beef-cattle farm be made
over into a dairy farm? Can the
dairy farm be made into a sheep farm?
Can the fruit farm be made into
hay, grain or live stock farm? In
many instances it will be found that
the farm in question demands type
of farming that cannot be easily
changed to meet the needs of chang
ing conditions.
When making a selection, look back
and follow the local economic changes
that have occurred in the last 30
years, and then judge for yourself
the farm you have under con-
has the adaptability neces-
sary for meeting the changes that are
bound to come in the future.

will be here for the opening session
of the school. DR., Moore is one of the
secretaries of the Presbyterian board
of foreign missions. Phi. Soulen, sup
erintendent of Moscow's public schools
is chairman of the committee on ar
engagements. THE Kingdom of the
Nations" by Eric North, will be the
text book in use. This will be supple
mented by The Why and How of
Foreign Missions"
The first semester of the school of
missions was an eminent success,
nearly 200 members of the congrega-
ton being enrolled. Every member of
the congregation is invited to join in
this program of special mission study.
The course will continue six weeks
After the first service on February
10, the meetings will be held regularly
each Thursday night at 1880 p. m.
There will be two special addresses
each evening and an open discussion
of the topic upon the basis OF the text
book in use.
There are signs that the world is
now feeling after God as never before
The consciousness of humanity is be-
ing quickened into new sense Of the
need of God and many voices are cry
ing out this need and message. Chris
tianity is awakening to its world task
and girding on its armor with new
devotion and beginning to move as
mighty army. Christian missions and
missionaries, school and colleges and
hospitals, and all the means and meth
DDS of preaching the Gospel and es-
tablishing the Kingdom are being en-
ployed on an ever increasing scale and
with encouraging results.
