TIME IS EXTENDED FOR RETURNS ON STATE INCOME TAX Carlton W. Sawyer, comptroller general, yesterday extended the time for making returns and assessment* for state income taxes until October 15, this year. This action was taker on the request of the state tax commission, which complained that the failure to measure up to the law was so widespread and genreal that relief was desirable.. The time for making returns or the income tax was up on Februarj 20, but the erroneous impressior gained ground tnat tne payment o; the federal income tax relieved ttfe taxpayer of the state assessment states the tax commision, and foi that reason many persons neglected to make their returns. The following proclamation was isroed yesterday by the comptrollei general to the auditors of the several counties of South Carolina: "To the County Auditors in the State of South Carolina: "The State tax commission of the State of South Carolina has sent mc the following communicption relative to the enforcement of the income tax law: "The time for making returns under the income tax law of this State expired on the 20th of February, last, and a very large number of persons Sable to the payment of the tax omitted to make such returns within ft * k I rwM ^osenb< iiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiHiniiiiiHiiiiiiiimimiuittitiiiiiiiiiiimmiNiiiiitiMniiimiirannmiiiitiiMiiMiMiiiiiiiiiiiNiiiaiii V oes nan Shoes for Ladies and r yles in all leathers, and some itions. r Shoes for Men.

CLUBS IN ABBEVILLE Mr. L. L. Baker, tie agent sent out by the Government and Clemson in the interest of the Corn and Pig Clubs in the State, made his first visit to Abbeville last week and took a look at the stock in the county. He made several trips over the county in company with County Demonstrator J. E. Cheatham, and he expressed himself as much gratified by the interest taken by the clubs and as pleased with the number of very fine pigs being raised by the club members. Mr. Baker urges all the Pig Club boys and girls to take their stock to the State Fair which will be held in Columbia the last of October. Many handsome cash prizes are offered, bith by the fair association, and by the American Berkshire Association, and by the Duroc Association. The work among the Corn and Pig Clubs has grown in the past year, there being now thirty-three counties with pig clubfc, and forty-one with corn clubs with a total membership in the two clubs of twenty thousand and fifty boys and girls. This work teaches a boy the care of live stock, the value of marketing, and stirs within him the longings for education and a better and happier farm life. Mr. Baker says that Abbeville has some of the finest hogs that he has seen in the state. DEFINITE RECORDS OF ECONOMIC VALUE OF ROADS lb is> uitcii uuucuit tu iniaimers believe that good roads are of financial value to them. They agree readily that good roads are desirable as a means of making rural life less narrow. They agree that good roads make it easier for children to go to school, for the doctor to reach the farm, and for all hands to meet for religious and social purposes. But many of them say that it is mere "theory" to claim any direct financial results from road improvements. Now "theory," if true, is just as helpful as are facts, and in this case, it is easy to show how facts support theory. The facts can be obtained with the help of officials of the rail ways shipping farm products out of a district before its roads were improved and after the improvement. A specific case in Virginia may be taken as an illustraton. The figures were collected by George P. Coleman, state highway commissioner. Before the roads, in one of the counties of that state had been improved, the largest amount of farm and forest products shipped out of the county in any one year was 49,000 tons. In 1909, the amount of dairy products shipped was 115,000 pounds. During that year 40 miles of road were improved at an expense ?of $100,000. In 1911, two years after the improvement, 71,000 tons of farm and forest products and 273,nnn n/Miri^o nf nrnHlinfc wprp shipped. The increase was 45 and 140 per cent respectively in these two classes of products. The increase in wheat shipments was 59 per cent, in tobacco 31 per cent and in lumber and other farm products 48 per cent over the best records made before the roads were improved. This is by no means all of the direct result of having good roads for marketing. Careful studiese of traffic in the county were made by Commissioner Coleman for two years, whicn snowea tnat u cost at least 20 cents to haul a ton a mile on unimproved roads and 12 cents a ton a mile on improved roads. The records showed that the average haul of 35,000 tons of products was 8 miles. ircantik NT STORES - h i n g Marx and Alco suits, for men of all ages. t workmanship, newol r measure and Ed. V. suit. It's up to you. it you want. ' ra DR COME IN AND LET US ANTILE C Consequently the improvement of eve the roads over which the hauling was gjor done saved the fanners $41,600 in marketing 65,000 tons of products. This sum saved in only two years, is *?n' over two-fifths of the cost of the pla< road work which affected it. . the OILING DIRT ROADS. f?r ove flai There are 2,333,000 miles of pub- pro lie roads in the United States, of and which only 262,400 miles nave any kind of surfacing. In other words, ear nearly 89 per cent of our roads are fea dirt roads, and it will be a quarter of !ng a century, probably, before this per- in centage is reduced to 75. The great sur road problem of the United States is roa to grade, drain and maintain these roads so as to make them of the best ^ practicable use at a minimum an- ear nual expense. Some progress along a" ehese lines is evident, and in some 1 sections very satisfactory earth cov roads have beeA built and are maintained in good condition, except for ^ a few weeks in spring, by intelligent . dragging. Another method of maintenance, originating in California, are is now being tried with "more or less can success in a number of the Central pro States. This is oiling the roads. Its nar purpose is to suppress dust; for in suc so doing the road surface will remain smooth longer than when the road s,?* is dusty, and there is less mud form- -1. exA in nrfif itraafliai* "Rn-f nilinop rnnHa I wu aii rr vu ww vu vnvi a/wv a vmuu a has to be done intelligently or it will make conditions worse instead of better.
