The Reporter TO His Typewriter

BY Harry f. Farnham
with Apologies to Lester NJ. Hart
You're a dirty. disreptab thing YOU
With scratches and scar. on your
frame?
It's true. I'll admit, yet YOU never
would quit
game.
With copy to do, from the dullcst of
To a nerve-tingling story Of war.
You bent to the test and turned out
your best
For the linotypes hungry nav.
Not to me is the credit for writing a
beat"
Twas the continuous click Of your
keys,
Like a towering staff YOU stood
straight to the gaff
In a thoroughbred effort to please.
You're weary and worn from the con-
slant pound
OF a newsman's batterns hand,
The hum Of your bars could be heard
to the stars
AS you ratified and writhed on your
stand.
You've been pushed in rush til
Your bearings were hot.
I'll your joints were just crying
for case.
But YOU never missed fire. though the
junk pile grew higher
Every laboring thump Of your keys.
l call YOU mill" mill OF the Gods.
That churns out the news Of the day,
a wreck on the sea, judges decree
Or robb'ry and shooting affray.
There is laughter in every bar that
YOU own.
A sob in each key in your frame,
In your ribbon so worn there are
stories of scorn
That would set the whole country
aflame.
You're the log Of the world, the pulse
of mankind,
That throbs with the JOY Of strife.
You're pal, not ban, to THIS news
paperman,
Whom you've given the best Of your
life.

Sumter couaty can never again
produce as much cotton as before
the; advent Of the boil .weevii and
the only means by which the loss
ON the cotton crop can by partially
recouped is by producing better
grade of cotton that Will sell for
better price. This result can
be attained by planting better va
rieties and by using greater care
In harvesting and handling the
crop. The loss on cotton result
ing from careless handling, wealth
err. damage. etc., has totaled many
thousands of dollars annually This
loss can be prevented with the
smaller acreage Of cotton that each
farmer must plant under boil wee
vii conditions. and it is possible
that more money may be obtained
for less cotton Of higher grade
than was received in past years for
the big crops of carelessly handled
weather damaged cotton.

Oppose Water
Power Tax
Manufacturers and Hydro
Electric, Power Companies
Have Representatives
Before Legislature

Columbia. Feb. "a fight on
the hvdro-electric tax bill, now In
the hands of the finance committee
of the senate. was launched at
public hearing before the commit
tee Wednesday afternoon and is
being renewed this afternoon. with
representatives Of manufacturers
as we'll as hydro-electic company
officials voicing protests. The chief
cry is that the bill vii! work a
hardship on small industries and in
some instances make their cX-
istence precarious.
T. Barron Grier, Greenwood at
torney, spoke rs attorney for the
small industries, and G.. Furnlan
Norris, Of Greenville, also spoke
for them. He mentioned the bleach
cry at Greenville, the only one of
it's kind in the southeast, which
ne said would be gravely crippled,
if this tax goes on. The plant is
driven by hydro electric power and
the power manufacturers will pass
the tax on to the consumers.
Among those heard Wednesday
afternoon. besides Mr.. Grier and
Mr.. Norris We're Zack Wright, of
Newberry, a. Foster McKissick, of
Grcenyille: J. NJ. Kinard, Of New
berry; B. +. Geer, Of Greenville:
Emelie Nicholson, Of Union, and
Choice Evans, of Spartanburg.
Others attending the hearing were
William L. Beattie. Of Greenville; !;
David Cardwen, Of Grecnyillc; !;
Thos. l. Charles. Conestee, Green
Vile county; r. E. Lyon, Ander-
son; J. II. Morgan, Jr., Greenville; !;
Leroy Springs, Lancaster: Bishop
Isom, Spartanburg. and William
Perrin. Of Greenville.
1t was announced that the
Southern Power Company would
be heard Thursday afternoon. 9th
er manufacturers arc also to be
heard before the committee reports
the bill back to the senate.
The argument advanced by the
opposition is that the tax will in
jure small manufacturers and will
pass the tax burden on to tho ul-
innate consumer, thus not proving
saving to the states tax paying
population.

Tuesday was the last day for the
payment of state and county taxes
with the one per cent penalty. and
many taxpayers who did not set
tie their tax bills before Dcccmbc!
31st have paid up within the past
thousand property owners who are
delinquent. and now that it is GER
tain that the legislature will cX-
tend the time for payment Of taxes
until juno 1st. with no executions
to be issued until September. q
great many delinquents Will make
no effort to pay taxes until the
eleventh hour. The extension OF
time for the payment Of taxes is
not an unmiXed blessing, for it en-
couraScS the habit Of procrastina
ton. Many dcliQucnts against
whom executions have been issued
for 1920 taxes. have stated that.
if the time had not been extended
last year, they could have and
would have raised the money to
pay their taxes. but taking advan-
tase of the extension and expecting
something: to turn up to better
their financial conditi"a they used
WHIT money and resources they
mad. and when the pinch came
they could not get the money to
pay the taxes. X is not safe to
put off paying taxes and those who
can pav now should do so without
delay Aside from the personal
consideration. there is another
that should have weight with all
good citizens unless th,, taxes are
paid the state. couEty and school
districts cannot meet their ObliGa-
tons. If taxes arc not paid Il
