"My dear, do you know it is the fashion now to have a big clock at the head of the stairs?"# Wife?"Yes, I know; but ours is * not going there." "Why not?" "A clock at that point is not necessary. When you come home late, I shall always be at the head of the stairs to tell you what time it is." Speaking of vacations, the most delightful one that we could imagine would be not to hear nor see nor think the word "expense" for about two weeks. Read The Herald, only $2.00 year. i The Luxury Tax. Collector D. C. Heyward of the internal revenue service, has given out additional instructions in connection with the collection of internal revenue taxes. These instructions are especially important in that they make clear the fact that the tax is payable on each ten cents of the amount of a purchase, rather than upon each separate five or ten cents article included in a given purchase. The instructions are as follows: Section 630. On what is commonly known as soft drinks compounded and mixed at or in close proximity c*r?r?o frmnfaine r>r nthor cimilar places of business including ice cream etc. The tax is one cent on each sale of ten cents or less and if above ten cents one cent on each ten cents or fraction part thereof. The tax is on the whole amount of the price paid by the purchaser when the price is paid at one time though it might be in payment for several articles or drinks but which are the subject of a single transaction, purchase or sale. For example, if a sale is made of one glass of coca cola at the price of 5 cents, the tax hereon is one cent, but if one person purchases 5 glasses of coca cola at a price of 25 cents the tax thereon is 3 cents. Section 904. Covering the tax upon the following articles sold at retail in excess of the specified prices. The tax is ten per cent of the amounts in excess- of the following amount: J Picture frames above $10; 2, Trunks above $50: 3, Carpets and rugs above $5 per square yard; 4, Valises, traveling bags, suit cases, etc., above $25; 5, Purses, pocket-books, shopping and hand bags above $7.50; 0, Portable lighting fixtures, lamps, etc., ahnvp S2n- 7.

The Dutch Prophet Says? Cool periods in July similar to present conditions (June 28) will occur July 13 and July 27. Precipitation will continue in July in greater volume in some sections than others in the South Atlantic States, but enough and to spare generally. Foliage on elm and oak begins to show the effect of the absence of proper radiation of the sun's rays: Readers of the State will find in Sunday's issue (Page 35) a full explanation of the proper radiation of the sun's rays as they should effect the earth at this period of the year. The Dutch Weather Prophet has been asked to explain this matter, and so he directs attention to the section of CARD FROM WILLIS HERXDOX. To all my friends and acquaintances in Bamberg, Orangeburg, Colleton afid Bamberg counties: It is with a great deal of pleasure I announce to you I am now connected with J.
