"( APT. HILLY" CONVALESCENT.
Veteran Railroad Conductor Entitled
to Wear Eleven Sen ice Stripes
on Sleeve.
The State.
William G. Smith, much better j
known as "Capt. Billy Smith of the |
C. & G." is improving in health af-!
tor a recent severe illness, according
to his son, Kurtz P. Smith of Anderson,
lawyer 'and former member of I
the general assembly, who was in Columbia
yesterday. Capt. Smith has
made his home in Anderson since his
9
retirement from railroad service about
two years ago.
Capt. Smith is entitled to wear on
the sleeve of his uniform coat 11
service stripes, each representing five
years' work as a conductor; for at his
retirement he lacked but three or four
months of having been continuously
a conductor through "> "> years. He is

Delintintr and Screening Cotton for
Planting.
Greater and greater yields from all
croi>s are beieng harvested year after
year. So much so that the story of
what is beins made on one acre of I
land would have been regarded as a
mere idle dream ten years ago. This
is due to the fact that more and more
scientilic knowledge is being applied
along all agricultural lines. The improvement
of soil by a more copious
use of legumes and careful
seed selection is more responsible
for this tremendous j
increase than any other factors. Deep !
plowing and fertilization has made it
possible to grow more than two hundred
bushels of corn per acre. With
^ 1 J 14- icy ACI im o tori
carerm seeu seia-uun it io coum?wu
that from ten to fifteen bushels more
can be made than with seed taken random.
The experiments made by the various
experiment stations over the
South ihave demonstrated that equally
good results can be obtained by careful
selection of seed cotton seed.
What is stated below is intended to j
call the attention of the farmers to j
this matter. Recent investigations J
have proved that a much better yield
can be had and very many of the seed
now^ planted saved, if the farmers
would have their planting seed delinted
closely and then screen out the
faulty and imeprfect seed. The oil
mills, which are now pretty generally
distributed over the State, are prepared
to do the delinting, and the
screening can be done at home by the ;
larmer mmsen.
T'ne advantages accruing from this
plan are:
iFirst?The delinted seed distribute
more evenly, almost as evenly and
uniformly as wheat and corn would
when put through a planter. ]
Second?The delinted seed do, not
adhere one to another and fall out in 1
bunches making skips here and there.
Third?The process of delinting
completely frees the seed from all :
foreign weed and grass seeds that may 1
be among them. ^
Fourth?The lint which is from 40
to 30 pounds per ton, is lost when
planted on the seed and is a positive
hindrance to quick germination. It
keeps out the moisture and the lint
wrapped around' the seed often injures
the young plants as they come
through.
Fifth?Experiments show that about
Dne half as many seed are required
when delinted.
Sixth?The screening takes out a
1- ? - - . ? , , , .
large proportion ot tne iauity ana imperfect
seed. |
The screening is done by pouTing
the seed on a screen made of about
one-fourth inch mesh wire, and 2
shaken through. The smaller and irn- I
perfect seed going through and the t
larger and move perfect ones remain- ^
ing in the screen.
Mr. J. A. Kranklin, manager of the
Taylor plantation. Columbia. S. C.,
is a recognized up-to-date and progressive
farmer. He says that he has
been following the plan outlined j
above for four years and finds thai he '
saves from 40 to 50 per cent. 0f tho I
seed originally used in planting, and
that he has improved the quality and |
quantity of his cotton.
South Carolina harvests .annually
between r^pO.OOO and 600,000 tons of
cotton seed. Ii is estimated that about j
'1 per cent, or 100.000 to 130,000 tons j
are reserved for planting. If the plan ;
i
of delinting and screening were to be- |
come general in the State it is probable
that it would effect a saving of
frmn 40 tn ."0 ner cent of the seed

used. This would mean, 40,000 to 50,000
tons annually. At $25.00 per ton,
which is perhaps below the average
price paid for seed, ">0,000 tons would
bring the sum of $1,250,000. A more
uniform seeding would be had; the
yield increased, and a better quality
of cotton produced. Would it not be
a good thing for the oil mills of the
State to brins: this matter to the attention
of the farmers? The interest of
:he oil mill and that of the farmer is
identical: whatever benefits and helps
the one, benefits and helps the ot'.ier.
The farmer would receive more for
his crop and the oil mill would get
a larger crush and thereby reduce proportionately
iheir running expenses.

And in the Auditor's Office in the
Court House Friday, Februaryv 20th,
after which date a penalty of 50 per
cent will be added against all persons,
firms or corporations failing to make
their returns as required by law. I
would -dislike very much to have to
add this penalty but I am required
by law to do so. The law requires a
tax on an noies, iuoi igages auu muii- i eys,
also an income tax on gross in- 1
comes in excess of $2,500.
T^iere shall be a capitation tax of
fifty cents on all dogs, the proceeds
to be expended for school purposes.
Dogs nGt returned for taxation shall
not be held as property in any of the
courts of this State.
All male persons from 21 to 60
years, except Confederate soldiers, or
those'persons incapable of earning a
support by being maimed or from any
other cause, are liable to pay a pol1
tax or one uoiiar.
Real Estate is to be assessed this m
year. Each tract or lot of lard must
be assessed separately. Also state
to assessor whether you have bought
or sold any real estate since last return.
The law requires that all property,
both real and personal, be assessed
"at its true value in money/'
which is construed to mean, "The sum
of money for which said property, under
ordinary circumstances, would
sell for cash."
p1pas<* don't ask that your property
be taken from the tax duplicate the
same as last year. The law requires m
lhut all property must be listed o'<
r(-gular tax return blanks and properly
siSnod and sworn to by person mak- .
ln? return. Please be sure to have ls
' returns in, on or before the 30th ^
