Will Fiiht Soda Tax.
Hundreds of thousands of people
throughout the country arc
signing the petition to congress
for the repeal of the soda water,
soft drink and ice cream tax.
Since the Soda Fountain Associ inn
ltroD fnrmn/i in Maur Vnrlf o
Vi\/il vv no ivt nivu tai v t* a va n ?
few days ago for the express
purpose of fighting this tax, it
has received promise of co-operation
from many organizations
throughout she United States
and it has been decidedly active,
sending out broadcast several
million petition blanks and-expjpnatory
literature to soda fountain
proprietors. Local associations
in various cities have beer
or are being formed to affiliate
with the Soda Fountain Association
of New York.
Under the new regulations, e
glass of plain milk (which is essentially
a food, in liquid form)
is not taxable, but if an egg
(which is also food), is mixed
with it, the concoction is taxable.
Just why this should be is
one of the questions the public
would like answered. Cold malted
milk is taxed, but if heated
by steam or otherwise, the tax
need not be paid. Why should
the addition of heat eliminate
taxation in this case? Plain
grape juice can be sold at the
fountain without a tax, but if
the purchaser wishes it diluted
with water or carbonic, a tax
ipuet be paid, because it becomes
according to the law, a "mixed
drink."
These are but a few examples
of the new regulation. The tax
in ten nor rent nf tho nrino of
the beverage and the law requires
the purchaser, not the
dealer, to pay it. Thus the
matter of accounting becomes
a most intricate one for the
dealer, for daily returns of sales
must be made, listing separately
the number of 5, 10, 15, 20-cent
and more costly drinks sold.
Where the law discriminates
unfairly, in the opinion of the
association, is that while the
buyer must pay a tax on ice
cream and soft drinks at a soda
fountain, he or she may order
the same thing in a restaurant
or hotel and not be obliged to
pay a tax. Thus the child of
^ the poorer districts who buys a
one-cent lemonade or ice cream
from a stand, must pay a onecent
tax to the government-a
tax of 100 per cent! The child
of a family of means can walk
into a hotel or restaurant aad
have a lemonade served (of
possibly better quality) and pay
no tax. If people were asked
to pay in a hotel the same rate
of tax on a beverage that the
child of the tenements is required
to pay at a cheap soda
water stand, there would be no
end of protest.
Fort Hill Defeats Anderson Team.
The first game of baseball to
ho played on the new Fort Mill
diamond this season was witnessed
by a large crowd Saturday
afternoon, when the local
team went up against the crack
team of the Anderson Motor
company of Rock Hill, both of
the teams being members of the
recently formed Catawba league.
Owing to the recent heavy rains,
the ground was rather heavy,
but the teams put up a snappy
ton-inning game, which resulted
in a score of 5 to 4 in favor of
Fort Mill. The pitching of Price
for the locals was the feature of
the game. The game was umpired
by Capt. S. W. Parks.
L. B. Crouch is manager of
the Fort Mitt team, with R. E.
McKibben, assistant manager. A
captain is appointed each each
Saturday to handle the men.
The line- up at present is as follows:
G. N. Price, pitcher; W.
L. Ferguson, .catcher; B. M.
Bradford, shortstop; James Archy,
first hase; Andral Ferguson,
second base; C. E. Kennett, 3rd
hase; A. R. Ferguson, left field;
D. Kimbrell. center field;
Boyd Hunter, right field.

South.
The writer recently obtained from
county agents the names of leading
farmers of North and South Carolina
who make a bale or more of cotton
per .acre. Theae farmers were addressed
a letter and asked, among
other things, to tell how they fertilized
their cotton. In these answers
a h?rge proportion report that they
make side applications of fertilizer.
A few of these reports that are typical
of the rest are given herewith;

Side Applications to Cotton.
At the time the cotton plant is tn
full bloom ample plant food most be
available or eise a largo percentage j
of the squares will shod. While there
are other factors that cause shedding, :
for example, a lack of a proper amount
of molsttiro; still, it haa been proven
that even with the tnoet favorable
moisture conditions, a lack of plant
food Is the potent cause of this
trouble.
Under boll weevil condition^ tJW I
fertiliser us*d In side applications
should contain a high percentage of
phosphoric acid and a rather low per*
centime of nitrogen. This fcrtUIxer
has the effect of forcing the young
bolls to quick growth and early nuw
lurlty.
Side Applications to Corn.
While It usually i>ays to make
larger Hide application of fertilfaer fob
cotton than for corn, still, many of
Ihe best farmers In the .Southeast
idvocate liberal side applications for
:orn.
The period of the growth of conk to 1
much shorter than that of cotton, eon
tequrntly. there must be preaeOS to
the soli large supptles of available j
