WALHALLA, H. C. I
?rpi?NJBS)DAY. IWABSCB. .? ttf?*.
PUT A TAX ON BACHELORS.
What a nloe little revenue would come
into" the treasury of the town of Wal
halla if the "bachelor tax" were adopted.
There are too many bachelors hereabouts
for the publio good. Something ought
to be done about it,, and the "bachelor
tax" is the logioal solution of the prob
lem of bow to force upon the bachelor at
least a portion of the burdens and re
sponsibilities of life.
F. Peter Dunne, the humorist philoso
pher, accredits to his two noted charac
ters, Mr. Dooley and Mr. Hennessy, the
following conversation:
"This here paper says," said Mr. Hen
net dey, "that they're goiu' to put a tax
OD bachelors. That's r-right. Why
shoulden't there be a tax pu bachelors?
There's one on dogs."
"That's r-right," said Mr. Dooley.
"An* they'ro goin' to make it five dollars
a year. Th' dogs pay ouly two. It's
quito a concession to us They cousidor
us more than twice as valyable, or
anyhow moro than twice as dan
gerous as dogs. I suppose yo expect j
noxt year to soe mo tin- nt in' around
with a leather collar an' a brass tag on
me neck. If me tax isn't paid th' bache
lor wagon'll come around nu' th' bache
lor eat cher'll lassoo me nu' take mo to
th' pound au' I'll bo kept thero three
"days au' thin, if still unclaimed, I'll be
dhrowned onless th' pound keepor takes
a fancy to mo."
In tbe making up of Walhalla's supply
bill this year wo suggest that City Coun
cil give full consideration to tho "bache
lor tax" as a means of supplementing the
town's finances.
Aside from the Hunncial view-poiut,
bachelors should be looked after as a
species of publio wards. They aro evi
dently uuable to properly provide for
themselves, and. therefore should be
taken under the caro of the muniolpal
authorities.
Why should there bo numerous bache
lora at largo in this community anyway
-some with bald spots at that? What |
right has a bachelor to a bald spot?
Married men may possess bald spots-in
faot, they are rather to be expeoted; but j
no man bas a right to be a baohelor and
no baohelor baa a right to a bald spot.
Therefore if a man chooses to be a
bachelor, tax him; if be chooses to culti
vate a bald spot, and thu? take from the
married man about bia only prerogative,
doublo tax him.
The town could well afford to pur
chase a dozen or two special bachelor
tax collars to be worn by those who pay
tho tax. For those who might refuse to
pay tho tax there would be no hope of
reclamation, aud the only recourse
would bo, aa Mr. Dooley suggests, the
pound-and that would mean certain
death, for the bachelor who wouldn't!
pay five or ten dollars a year for the I
priviloge of beiug a bachelor, deserves
no better fate than death by drowning.
It is now asserted by attorneys in tho
Harry K. Thaw case that "Thaw killed
Stanford White while his brain was in a
storm." It may really be taken as a
piece of information that Thaw ever had
a brain. The storm must have boen a
tornado, for he seems never to have re
gained his brain after meeting "that
pica, pure little girl, Evelyn Nesbitt."

A Washington scientist claims that he
has discovered a way of making whiskey
without a worm. Now if he can discover
how to grow cabbages without worms tho
dear old Keowoe Courier may be happy
once more.-Anderson Mail.
Thanks to the mellowing influence of
timo and the hardening influence of cus
tom, we have already ceased to worry
about the cabbage and whiskey worms.
Whether wo eat or drink wo do it with
out questioning at all. Wo take our
whiskey and our cabbage straight, along
v:\i\x the editor ( f the Mail-unquestion
ing, utterly oblivious to all extraneous
matter; in other words, we go the circus
man one better, aud both "drink 'em nod
eat 'cm alive!"

Do Not Crowd tht Season.
The first warm days of spring bring
with them a desire to get out and enjoy
the exhilerating air and sunshine. Chil
dren that have been housed up all win
ter are brought out and you wonder
where they all came from. The heavy
winter clothing is thrown aside and many
shed their flannels. Then a cold wave
comes and people say that grip is epi
demic. Colds at this season are even
more dangerous than in mid-winter, as
thero is much more danger of pneumo
nia. Take Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy, however, and you will have nothing
to fear. It always cures, and wo have
never known a cold to result in pneumo
nia when it was used, lt is pleasant and
safe to take. Children like it. For sale

Will Save Millions to Cotton Industry
Washington, March 2 --Oue of ito
most important devices lu tho ti i story of
cotton 'culture practically has been per
fected by experta of the d?partaient of
agriculture. It ia a machine for the re
moval of the fuss on cotton aeed and for
the separation of light irom heavy seed.
The process baa been in course of de
velopment for about two years and it is
the opinion of the cotton experts of tho
department that ita universal use would
effect a saving of about 10 per cent of the
entire cotton crop. As the crop of
Amerioa amounts to $700,000,000 a year,
it easily can be realised that such a sav
ins would be of vast importance.
By the removal of the fuss from th?
cutten seed the seed may be ' planted
with an ordinary 'ravity drill. By the
ouse with whloh tho smooth seed can be
manipulated they can ho planted In hills,
without uuneoosfcary waste, and the
plans so located can be tilled lo two di
rections. The machine, it is stated, can
be made at very small expense,'and as
the invention is in tho hands of tho gov
ernment, cotton planters who nae lt will
bsve to pay no royalty for it.

ture, which bas a peculiar action upon
the eliminative tissues of tho kidneys,
