1OME TAX TIME EXTENDED TO MAY. With thle approval of Gov. isel, Comptroller General nes has issued an order to all anty auditors to inforce the :ome tax law. The time for :eiving these returns has been tended until May 1st, and the ter to the auditors state that a t of all liable must be made up d in the hands of each an in rme tax blank must be placed. ould there be no returns by 3y 1st, a penalty of fifty per nt. is added. Comptroller General Jones re tly announced that he inten d enforcing the law and should y auditor refuse to send in an income tax returns the audi r's name will be sent into Gov. isel with a statement of facts. ie govenor has the power of muoval in such cases. In several of the counties, no bly Richland, Spartanburg, ken, Sumter and others, the ditors have worked hard to t returns properly made by ose liable for income tax. In ers, however, nothing has en done and the idea of the mptroller general is that the m should either be enforced or pealed. Up to a few years o the returns were made in cret. The law, however, has, en changed and as a result of e publicity in the newspapers uch has been accomplished t the state officials feels that ere are many men in the State th incomes over $2,500 that ve not made returns. The collection last year from is source were about $8,000. LETTER TO AUDITORS. The following is a copy of the ;ter sent to all county audi rs: "To County Auditors: Under e code of laws of South Caro a, sections 276 and 370, the mptroller general is required prepare and transmit instruc >ns to carry into effect the pro sions of the tax laws and to cide all questions which may ise as to the true construction the same.

Avoid ar also wind, dust and smoke. Personal habits enter into the question of the causation of eye disease, and their to regulation becomes, therefore, a part Ai of the hygienic treatment. Diet is im- T] portant, chiefly through its effects re upon indigestion and general health, which frequently have much to d' with the condition of the eye. The ta first offense against the eyes is read- A Ing with a poor light. This requires ar the ciliary muscle to do extra work to sharpen sight. It applies to dim lights, twilight, and sitting too far th !rom the light." The second offense, ot says the New York Weekly, is one of be posture. Stooping or lying down con- Co gests the eye, besides requiring un natural work of the eye muscles. Reading in railroad trains is a third re offense, the motion causing such fre- ap :uent changes of focus and position as se to tax the muscles of accommodation be as well as the muscles of fixation. Reading without needed glasses, or with badly fitted ones, is the last im- m prudence. Eye-strain is certainly a bt factor in producing disease of every th part of the eye. Old age is the time of retribution for those who have sinned against their eyes. Young folk, take good care of your eyes, and when you are old you will reap a rich re- th ward by retaining good eyesight till late in life. A vote of thanks is due the Wiscon- lei sin professor who says that our old to friend the tired feeling which comes in the spring is not an acquired virtue but is the result of heredity. If it Las been handed down to us from our forefathers, who acquired it through CC much patient endeavor, anyone can to see that we are not to blame. Still, ti we think more of our ancestors be cause of this discovery. Evidently they V were human, remarks the Chicago Daily News, and not mere stern, busy aT automatons, as we have been taught of to believe, who never relaxed but were busy chasing work throughout the livelong day and part of both ends, of the night. Besides, we can the CL more readily resign ourselves to the in pleasure of being lazy in the spring m when we know that we couldn't help it if we tried. Th~e treasurer of the Association ge for Improving the Condition of the th Poor of New York recently received in two dollars from two small girls, with he a note saying that the authors had saved the money "from slang words." A Every time they used a bit of slang 5 they fined themselves, and every time all they heard others use any they re- or quested a forfeit or a contributIon. This plan would make some young t people realize that silence is indeed t golden. re pe Several Vassar college girls are act- ar lag as probation officers for the city court of Poughkeepsie. They are studying the truancy problem in this sh practical way, and hope to learn why th boys are naughty. A special course in to this subject might profitably be intro duced in all the women's colleges. If o the young women pursued it thorough ly there might be fewer truants in the i next generation of boys. ln A confederate veteran in Texas re- -l fused even in a sham battle to fire on the Stars and Stripes. "We stopped re doing that in '65," he said. This is sa a spirit which will do much more for the harmony and well being of the fu union than raking up dead-and-gone sa memories which serve no purpose but th to stir ill feeling and sectional strife. A western editor has solved the ad problem of "how to keep the boys on Ce the farm." Answer: "Have plenty of I u girls on the farm and the boys won't wa.Xow the only question is t how to keep the girls on the farm. - __ er It seems that the government holds to $10,000,000 for piersons who have never ea presented their claims. And still you ti read of timber and water and mining frauds as if that sort of thing were the only loot handy. The man reported to be engaged to Hetty Green's daughter says he does t.i not know the lady. But he knows the size of Hetty's fortune, and that should be enough. Those marginal notes on divorce by Henry VIII. no doubt show how ar th dently Hank longed for some suelj modern institution as South Dakota. pe A St. Louis clergyman who de- p ~nounced kissing cannot collect his sal- 2g ary. Clergymen should avoid subjects p of which they know nothing. - Women should not gossip more than eight hours a day, according to one of them. But the matrimonial union has WHI Plant Lots of Cotton. A farmer came in our ofiD& last week and announced that the farmers of this county are* going to put every foot of avail able land in cotton this year, i and if the South generally fol- 3C lows the example of our Pickens 01 county farmers we ought to pro duce something like 15,000,000 er bales. This is very encourag- ce ing for a prosperous fall with seven or eight cent cotton to pay of guano bills, etc. We hope our st informent is mistaken and the farmers of Pickens county will d pay attention to other crops rather than place their entire ai confidence in cotton. y Swept Over Niagara.

We want to talk to you a little now out our ammnonisted fertilizirs. The id and meal season is about over. iose who us- acid and meal haul it me early in the season so that they n mix it, The season for amnioni d goods commence later, and in ct. is about started now. There is >t much difference in acids; one acid about as good as another. It is all ade of phosphate rock, (bone phos iate lime,) crushed and treated with lphuric acid phosphate and one fertil r company turns out about as good tality of this goods as another. The fference in fertilizer is in ammoni ed goods. Ammoniated go ds are ade by taking this saime acid ph)os late and mixing it with ammoniates, ood tankage, nitrate of soda, cotton ed meal, sulphate of ammonia, garb e. Now; some of these asumoni is do their work and exhaust more ickly than others and so by prop iy mixing and manmpulating our am-t oniates, we have gotton a fertiliz er at will nourish the plant from the ne it sprohts, all during the growing ason. during the laying-by season id up to the time the plant is ma red and ready to be gathered. Take r instance nitrate of soda. It acts ickly and exhausts. Cotton seedi eal will come in next: it will dis-t le and assimilate with the soil be-C re it becomes a plant food, just as en you plant a grain of corn it has germinate before it comes up. Tfank e come in next and then blood; bich lasts until the crop is matured d ready to be gathered. So by tak. g the different kinds of ammoniates the proper proportion, one com'ung as one exhausts, we have a fertili r that will feed and nourish the tnt from the time it sprouts until it ready to be gathered. Trhat is a mplete fertilizer and unless it does at it is not a complete fertilizer. does not niatter where you get it, is not a complete fertilizer unless feeds and nourishes the plant from e time it sprouts until the crop is tdy to be gathered. TIhese ammo stes are very expensive. that is why imoniated goods cost more than ids. Take sulphate of ammonia: it ts $64 per ton laid down at the tory. We have bought qui~e a lot this and are using it in fertilizers t will sell for less than $30 per ton, t because we want to make the ht kind of goods; goods that will ke the crop grow and keep growing d will make a man take a pride in crop. Our ammoniated goods used lands that are prepared and culti.. ted, as the farmers in this section ially prepare and cultivate their ds, wi-ll get all out of the land that ~re is in it and a farmer should not satisfied with making the land do s than that. The trouble ab~out us Sa cheay frtilizer is just this: by time you find out it is no account u have lost a cr0o) and you have lc.st year's work and the only thing you 1 do is to wait until next year andl -again to fertilize right. very sample of our goods that has m analy zed at Clemson College ran .y above our analysis which shows Lt we are making the right kind of >de. There is absolutely no adulter on in the fertilizers we are mak ing. ey are made of bone phosphate of te ammoniates add nothing else. ere is nothing better made. Our ds will feed and nourish the plant m the time it sprouts until it is ready be gathered and that is the kind of ds your land needs: that is the kind goods your land must have to muake t class crops. If you want goods of s sort, we have themi and they are ale. They are home-made and they made right; they are dry and well verized and we want you to try m.
