South Carolina farmers used a

This year, from January 1 though May
31, tile tax money is $23,(556.15 below
the amount for January through May
of 1921.
The tax is 25 cents a ton and this
will show that the tonnage for tiie
present year is far below that of 1921.
The tax collected from Ju!y 1 to May
3 , 1921, the fiscal year, was $165,-
