OCTOBER 9, 1913. Chant* th* Fiscal Year. The excellent paper, the Greenwood Index, is right when it makes the wise suggestion that the State’s fiscal year should be changed so as to end July 1st instead of running with the calendar year, aa at present. We agree with its editorial in last week's issue and take pleasure in reproducing it below The Index says It has always been a mystery to The Index why the State's fiscal year has to run with the calendar year Why, for instance couldn't it not end July the 1st. as the Federal government does its department* It would he so much mure convenient Take for instance the matter of fmng the tax levy from the return* to the auditor We could timplifv matter* very much if the whole system were changed The auditor has to travel over the county now in the worst of winter weather and work is nr»rr as mt is factory m it should t«e If he were allowed to do this work in the summer be could render better service and the people would be more re* pun si * e per baps to the patrvotK duty of returning property for ta sat ton With the returns in hand when the leywtature meet* would it not tie easier to fit the rate fur the coming year than M is now under the present tyatem* The automobile roots more than is generally suppoaed Think of the enormous amount of time wasted by people ta stopping their work to watch the car go by Not to attend the Barnwell County Fair and help make it a success shows s lack of pnde id the advancement of the county It can be no better than you make it With a short corn crop we auppoae that the average man will now have to give up eating hominy and corn bread • We should worry ” It's just about the time of year for the negro "hotsuppers" and their re sultant shooting and cutting affrays and homicides.
