The following news item which appeared in the papers a few days ago will give some idea of the amount of commercial fertilizer used by the farmers of this State and also some idea of the large amount of money -which Clemson college receires. Of course the college has grown but when the income from this source was less than $100,000, the institution had as much money as it could find place to put. The indica tidins this year are that the income from this tax alone will be $250,000. With this amount and the other sour ees of inome to the college it looks almost reasonable that the college could be amply supported and a fit ting school or agricultural high school maintained in every county of the State where there can be obtained loeal coooperation: Columbia, March 26.-The farmers of the State have used over 750,000 tons of fertilizer since January 1 and it is expected that 1,000,000 tons will be used by the end of the year. The records of the State treasurer's office show that thesum of $187,680.13 have been received for the fertilizer tag tax since January 1. There is a tax of 25 cents on all fertilizeer sold in the State. The total amount re ceived from the tags to Mareh 24 of last year was $158,344.22. The amount receive for the fertilizer tag tax last year was approximately $202,000. The editor of The Herald and News has received an invitation to be present at a banquet to be tendered the press of the Appalachian States on Saturday evening, April 9, at Knoxville, Tennessee, by the Appa lacehian Exposition. He regrets very mueh that he can not attend this banquet. The preservation of this Appalachian forest-is one of the most important questier3 before the people. '7. The Charleston Post says that "the ihouse mail-box seheme of Boss Hitcheock's is meeting with such heavy opposition that its futu#e is quite hopeless.'' We do not see why it should be so. This is one scheme of Boss Hitchcock's which all people might endorse.-Anderson This is one scheme of the postoffice department which should have unan imous endorsement. It would save trouble and time in -the delivery of mail and at the same timne be safer. LAURENS FUGITIVB GIVBS UP Tired, Feet Blistered, Jim Davis Surrenders to. Sherif.

In a Yorkshire mining village a numiber of the colliers were discuss ing trade prospects when one of their number, known to his pals as thel cockney, with a scowl at his vis-a-vis, a "man frae Glesga," thus deliver ed himself: "Tell you what, mates, we'd 'ave plenty of work and good wages in this England if less Scotch men come'd south." To this the Glaswegion made a stinging retort. The men sprang to their feet and once more the thistle and th rose wrestled. - At length, during a pause, in the fight, the cockney remarked: "Well, I'll be a great fool to go fightin' on this 'ere subjeck, for I'm Irish, I am.'' "Are you?" replied his opponent. "That bates all; for I'm Irish, too!' -Tit-Bits. Quieting Him. Halefelfler (wildly)-Whait! Do you mean to tell me, woman, that it costs $39 to get that -hat trimmed? Jumping Jupiter! But that milliner'.j game is the limit. Mrs. Halefeller (sweetly)-Really I Why, I understood it costs some men more than to get trimmed in a poker game.-Richmond Times Dispatch.
