CUTWORMS APPEAR Cutworms have made their appear ance and are doing considerable dam age to young cotton in many sec tions of the county. In some sec tions the damage has been greater than In others, and in the southwes tern part, or the places of Messrs. Paul R. Eat ie. EHaa McGee and oth ers, the damage has been as much as the destruction of the first and secoud plantings. The present cool spell seems to be very favorable to the worms and their work of destruction Ipcreased. They are literally stripping the cotton' from the Melds, and leaving nothing at ali. not even the small stalks. The acreage which la Infested by this pest ls several hundred aerea In extent, though only a few hundred acres are very badly damaged. Over one hundred acres of land, planted with cotton on Mr. Ellas McGee's place have been stripped twice. The tiret planting was destroyed and BO waa the second planting. Mr. Mc Gee planted the third ; time and the worms have attacked that now. Just about thia time last year the country was infected with the colton caterpillars. These Insects destroy ed cotton and did a great deal of dam age. The cut worms Infant the same landa and seem to be worse than the caterpillars. There la very little seed cotton in Gila section that Ia suitable for planting at thia time ot the. rear, and the fermera are very much worried over the prospecta.

CTi?pm?M Traver? waa looking backward over bis life, as he sat, revolver In band, before the mirror in the upper room of btu closed bouse, and lt was strange how all the interests of the mature mau's life narrowed to those of the boy of long ago. Pictures flashed across his mental vision, and be saw himself again, a little boy, standing before that same window and holding bis father's hand. "Why mustn't I play with the little girl across the street?" he asked bis father. But it was long before he learned that the man across the street was a famous atheist lecturer, and shunned in horror by the narrow society of the little place, whose ostracism extended to the loyal wife and the little girl. Later the little boy had gone to school, a boarding school in a distant city. There the interests of school days drove the thought of the little girl out of his mind. So completely, in fact, that, when he returned, he did not nt first rec ognize the young girl of fourteen whose face he saw at the window opposite. "Who are those people across tbe road?" he asked his mother, with an interest whose cause he was careful to conceal. "The same," s*e answered. "That ls Danvers, the abominable atheist lecturer, John. I hope that you will have nothing to do with any of them at any time." Time passed. John Travers went to college. Now the whirl of life had caught him up, and only the most elusive memories remained of the girl at the window. Yet, when he came home with his degree, be found him self looking across the carrow street at a young woman who watched him from her window. And this time there was a look of recognition upon her face, though she made no sign of greeting, and neither spoke. Then John Travers went into the world of business. . Eight years had passed, and be had fought hard dur ing those years. He bad made a name for himself in the financial world; at thirty he was a rising power in the street. It was no wonder that his enemies grew numerous as his power grew stronger. And aa the years went by Travers began to realize that he* was obtaining singularly little out of life. At thirty he seemed already an old man in ex perience. Life brought bini no hap piness. Ho did not understand the cause of this, but he realized that be had somehow missed something which ali his wealth could not supply. Then came tho panic, and the fight for survival. Everybody waa leagued ' against Travers to pull him down. For a whoU week, during which time he hardly slept, John fought. Then the pack had bim down, and his, fortune, swollen to millions, crumbled to noth ing m a single day. 80 he had gone home to the little village, to the house which ho had inherited after hia parents' death, but never occupied. At last he bad resolved to and lt, to plunge out of the life that had brought him nothing Into one which could at least offer nothing worse to him. And, after long thought, he had drawn from his pocket the revolver which he had always carried since the beginning of his debacle, v ? knock at the door startled him, and be thrust the weapon away and opened the door. He gaaped to BOB. before him, tba girl at the window opposite. She came into the room impulsively. "Mr. Travers." she began, "I know you will resent this hitruaion, but we are old neighbors. My name ls Mar jorie Danvers, und I often used to see you when we were children. I live opposite-I have lived there alone since my parents died two years ago. And I heard yon were back and in troubla. . "You know how people gossip in this little place. Wa heard yon wara' alone hera and had not left the house. We wera all afraid some harm had come to yon. Bo I went to the door and knocked, and whan you did not answer I came up. Ia thar? anything I can do for you?" Her eyes fall op?n the revolver muzzle, protruding from tho book case ic which be had hidden lt She looked at lt ard at him wildly. "You were not-not thinking of that?" ahe cried. "Yea," he answered. "I was. But you have cured ma now. Miss Dan vers, I have lived a selfish life, solely for myself and I have had little pleas ure out ot it. Bot now I have come home, ?nd-and I want Ufa to begin to mean something to me. Do you know how often I have thought of yoat" "How st raj ge!" ahe said. "I have thought so t.:ten'of the little boy T need to aaa and might never know/ And to think that after these years . . . but than you moat lat me .help yon, In any way I can. And you must come oat of thia old house Into the sunshine." Perhaps soul spoke to soul In that moment, for suddenly aha felt that the" wera bound by a stronger tte th?n ,1k* few vords that had boen uttered.

Now Go To It!! LEGAL NOTICES INCOME TAX PAYERS TAKE NOTICE. Thc time for making Income Tax Returns will close the 1st of July. All who fall to make Income tax by that time will have to pay cost and penalty. This is from Carlton W. Sawyer. Comptroller General, at Co lumbia, 8. C.. so I would he glad to have you make these returns .at once, so your Auditor will not be embar rassed. Those who refuse to make Income Tax Returns will be compelled to do so at heavy cost This is the law avd so long as lt is,, I will have to enforce it for Anderson County. Winston Smith, Auditor. Columbia, March 13, 1916. Mr. Winston Smith .County Auditor, Andersen. S. C. Dear Sir: The State tax commis sion of the State of South Carolina has sent me the following communi cation relative to the enforcement of the income tax law: "The time foi making returns un der the income tax law ot this State expired on the ?dth of February last, and a very large number of persons liable to the payment of the tax omitted to make such returns within the time limited. "The neglect to make the returns in time may have been caused by an er roneous impression that the returns and payment of the income tax to the federal government relieved these tax payers from graying the income tax imposed by the laws of this State. "The failure to make returns with in tune have been so general and widespread that we think further opportunity should be allowed ouch persons to make these returns before the penalties provided by law are imposed upon them." In order, therefore, to save such peraons who will now come forward and make the proper returns, I, Carl ton W. Sawyer, under, and by virtue of power conferred upon the comp troller general, with the approval pf the governor, in Section 767 of Vol ume 1, Code ot Laws of South Caro line, 1912, do hereby extend the tune for the making ot returns and assess ment ot income taxes without penalty until the first day of July, A.
