Dillon, S. C., April 17, 1910. EDUCATION IS TAKING TOO LONG An educator of some prominence suggests that the schools run the en-* tire year on the supposition that our portion of education would be obtained more quickly. This, he says, would benefit the race by get tin;: us past the preparatory period sooner and gire us a chance to start oit in life at an 'earlier day. There is much room for speculation in the suggestion. A mat or woman bent on acquiring a college education reaches the age of 25 or there abouts before ne or sue is past toe learning stage; then the battle with lite begins, the stress of getting a toe ?holg-tnr the chariot of success. After some years of work angling for position, place, power and filthy lucre, sufficient headway ig made o permit $ of marriage. By that time the highly educated parties ore about SO years of age. deferred marriage creates a serious biological and sociological problem. And if the so-called higher education is at fault, perhaps we can with profit prune a bit on the length of years necessary to acquire so much education. For a generation or two th? pendulum has swung toward super-education; the time is probably soon here when the pendulum will swing toward practical, condesed and concentrated education that will eat up fewer raluable years of life. CHEAPER MEAT UNLTiELY. Consumers probably are not enthusiastic about the prospect of reduced priceb for meat. It seems tlat lower prices in the future are unlikely, and for the simple reason that the increase in population is vastly outstripping the increase in meat pro-i duction. It *eems funny that we crnnot get our meat producer^ to keep up with the demands, but it is explained by the fact that the large ranges are t>eing changed into lands very rapidly, and the land that is utilized in the production of wheat cannot be used for grazing purposes. In 1900 there were 660 head of cattle for every 1,000 persona, but today this has been reduced to 350. In the case of bogs, in n ne years the number has dropped from 800 to j 00 for each thousand persons; I sheep from 880 to 450. The capacity of our ranges is de-' creasing and any increased meat production must come from the farms where the cost of production is much greater than on the range. Meantime meat consumption in the. nation is steadily increasing There seems to be np way out of the dilemma. It will be necessary for farmers hereabouts t0 join the j procession and raise as many meat animals as they possibly, can. Every little bit will help. It is getting so that some farmers will noi be able to buy their meat, but will have to raise it themselves if they want to be economical. Masonic Meeting.

Tax Commission Making Most Reasonable Assessments. In addition to the fixing of the valuation on mercantile holdings this year the tax commission Will seek to make a systematic assessment of values on automobiles. All of the schedules have not yet been arranged but if the commission proceeds on the lines it started it is hardly possible that automobile owners will have any complaints to make. The commission will first arrive at a reasonable value of each make of automobile and the assessment for lux.m.w purposes win ue ier cent, of this. At: idea of the vai j?'? ;?<a> be Had from the following: The value of a Ford 1918 foadster is fixed at $400, and the assessed value for taxation at |170, of a touring car of the same year the actual value is $468 and the assessed value $195. A Ford roadster 1917 model is valued at $250 and the assessed value at $105, a touring car of 1917 is valued at $.270 and the taxable value is fixed at $115. Other figures are: Franklin, 1918, actual value $2,310, taxable .value $970; 1917 model actual value, $1,290, taxable value $540. Dodge, 1918 actual value $843, taxable value $355; 1917 model, actual $610, taxable, $255, Packard, 1918, actual val ue $440, taxable $1,848; 1917 model actual $2,400, taxable $840.?The State. County Auditor Allen has been advised by the State Tax Commission not to enter upon his records, until further advised, any stocks of merchandise, lumber .plants or automobiles, as it was the purpose of the commission to assess and equalize for taxation the items referred to above during thip year. o CITATION,, The State of South Carolina, County of Dillon, by Joe Cabell Davis, Probate Judge: Whereas, A.
