The tag tax is 25 cents upon each ton of fertilizer | shipped out, the tax being placed for | the chemical analysis made by the | authorities at Clemson. So far this year $117,017.85 has been I received against $112,745.85 for the 9ame time in 1907. This would indicate a very large increase this year in i farming operations, j | The total receipts for 1907 amounted to $150,984.81 against $167,158.39 for 1906, which was the record year. As will be seen the receipts are largest at this time of the year although several thousand dollars are received in the fall. Several days within the past two weeks the receipts have amounted to over ?3,500 daily. . ( * Cotton Mills to Curtail. I Greenville, March 16.?A conference i of the members of the South Carolina Manufacturers' association will be held in this, city7 Wednesday for the purpose of considering the question of curtailment of production of cotton goods. At a meeting of the association in December it was decided to reduce the output 25 per cent, during the months of January, February and March, and it will be determined at the meeting Wednesday whether or not it is advisable to continue this reduction for a longer period. The cause assigned for the calling of the conference is the lack of demand for cotton goods and the absence to a large extent of export trade. Discharged Road Overseers. Supervisor Koon is determined that road overseers do their duty. In a conversation with Mr. Koon yesterday he stated most positively that it was his intention to discharge every overseer in the county who failed to perform his duty. It was learned, also, that several road overseers have already been "ousted" because they have been negligent m caning out hands. This looks bad and we trust- that ^every man, in chargej of the different roads of the county, will see to it that the roads are kept up. Call out. the hands though they be few in number. Senator Gary Seated. Senator Frank B. Gary was sworn in as United States Senator on Monday. He was accompanied to the Vice President's desk by Senator Tillman. Mr. Gary has already assigned his duties. ? Corley-Harsey. On the evening of March 12, 1908, at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Joe Corley, Miss Lula Corley and Mr. Oscar Harsey were happily married by Rev. G. W. Kelly. After the ceremony a'beautiful supper was served the bridal party, which 'woo mnnVi TVid -rr'-ri toT?

They were found dead in bed and the supposition is that one killed the other and then turned the gun on herself. Their names are given as Miss Weed and Miss Hardee. The latter was from Savannah, Ga.
