TAXES TOO HIGH.

The new occupation tax law
covers about everything from the
cradle to the grave. IL taxes the
doctor who first looks upon tho
newly arrived future citizen. 1t
then goes on down the line and
finally ends up with STIFF tax
on the undertaken and tombstone
maker. 1t increases the tax on
practically every line of business.
1t is calculated to raise something
in the neighborhood Of two and
half million dollars above the
amount now collected from spaz
cial taxes. IL will, of course, be
passed on to the consumer. No
business institution will pay 1t.
Everybody that buys something
will pay it.-Worth County Local.

ONE MORE WORD
TO THE PECAN
GROWERS.

Recently in a ride about the coun
ty,. we noticed a number of pecan
and other trees festooned with
cobwebs.
Trees that require many years
to grow to maturity are being kill
ed for the want of just a little ef-
fort on the part Of the owner.
Save the trees. Pecan trees are
little gold mines. Let's forget the
weevil on the cotton for a day and
get that caterpillar on the pecan.
~One more word to the pecan
Grower" says the Cordele Dis
pach; you should take time to
burn out caterpillars. This can be
done with a rag on the end Of a
fishing pole saturated with kero-'
sense. To remove the nests now
means more pecans next year
or to be more exact in expression,
to allow them TO remain means de
struction of the pecan crop OF
next year"
A stitch in time saves nine and a
few hours now will save the tree,
which in years to come will bring
in many dollars.

MAYBE SO

1t is claimed that there is !
law in China that if bank fails

no excuses. There are no bank
failures in China. IL the state of
Georgia were really in earnest
about wanting to stop mob activ
tiles and outrages a law to the
effeoe that if 9 sheriff or his de!
puties lost a prisoner, that sheriff
should be automatically removed
from office and made ineligi-
bic for other office-if that were
the law there would be no lost
prisoners. If the officers lives or
welfare were endangered like the
prisoners, they would dodge the

DESTROY THOSE
COTTON STALKS
IMMEDIATELY.

The more cotton stalks destroy
ee now, the greater the cotton crop
in Sumter next year.
Watch the farmer who lets his
stalks remain standing while he
bangles a fishing pole over the creek
or loafs around talking politics and
declaring calcium arsenic is not a
poison, but a breakfast food.
The farmer who gets busy and
induces his neighbors to get busy
and all Of them destroy coston stalks
will be ahead of the game next year,
while the other fellow will be just
about where he is today.
Conditions are changing. The old
ways of doing things viii not work
today. The fellow who refuses to
change with changing conditions is
lost. You might just as well order
a wreath Of flowers and write MS

THE OLD-TIME
RUM-HOUND HAD IT
COMPARATIVELY EASY

Twice as many Americans were
driven crazy by liquor last year rs
in 1921. This is claimed by numer>
Gus insanity authofities, including
DR.. horatio NJ. Pollock Of New
York State Hospital Commission.
1t means that booze is steadily
getting more poisonous, rather than
that people are drinking more in
spite of prohibition.
The old-time rumhound who saw
snakes" had it easy compared with
the victim of bootleg hooch. Dr..
John A. Houston, head Of a state
hospital for the insane in Massa-
chusetts, reports:
"The patients who now come to
us after alcoholic drink has rem

ton almost wholly differenE to
