C. t JULY 2. 1925 8 PAGES VACATION DAYS AGAIN July and August arc* the most popu lar vacation months. According to theory, everyone should have a vaca tion. Many do not get it, however, at tl^ 8 time of year, or perhaps not at all. The human machine was not meant probability that he will make one- fourth of a crop.

We Are dusting our. oldest cotton in the early morning, using the drift cloud method and taking an aver age of about ten rows with each trip of the machine. This work ' is cheap and effective. 'The cotton market is strong and advancing. Staples are par- ticulafly scarce and it looks like 30 to 40 cents might be realized this fall. It rests with our farm ers as to whether they will capi talize on the splendid prospects for crop and price which we now have and insure thexs dres plenty and prosperity this fall, or whether they will allow the boll weevil to ruin their crops and themselves. r / “It it extremely important to pick up and burn the first crop of punctured squares. Otherwise these will hatch out within a few days and about ten days to two weeks from now this new crop of weevils will begin work and make. the fight from then on more diffi cult and hazardous, cult and hazardous.” STREET PETITIONS FOR IMPROVEMENTS The following streets have handed in (heir petitions for street improve ments in the form of street paving, .sidewalk paving, and. in the case of most of the streets, white way light ing: Walnut* street, throughout its length.

SPEAKING OF TAXES V Much talk is heard nowadays about taxes, but very few realize how many wjurces of taxation are levied against the man who pays the property tax in addition to the general state levy of five and one-half mills as passed by the legrstnture. The tax on tobac co, cigars, soft drinks and the like, are in force the year round, while the home in the morning property tax must be met but once a ' About the only way «nmpm»n, cmji. make a noise in the world is to wear loud colored clothes. ^ Its all right to add a literary de gree to your name, but ability to do so does not make your signature cn a promisory note any more binding.'* It is said that sunlight 1 is valuable in destroying disease r germs, but this can’t be said for moonshine.

The following im portant streets , have not up to this date, June 24, applied for petitions for circulation: Hampton avenue. West Maine street, ,West Carolina cil cannot pave any street which does not petition, as half the funds with whiih the paving is to be done, also the white way lighting, must come from the abutting property owners.«, An Idea of the likely coat to the abutting property owner can be had by the following illustration. Rough ly estimated, the resident on a street which has a thirty foot roadway, and who has a 100 font frontage on that street, will have an abutting property assessment which will run into annual installment for ten years of approxi mately $18.00 per annum plus 6 per cent interest on deferred payments. White way lighting will cost ap proximately $2.00 per annum to .abut ting property owner^ owning 100 feet of frontage, this plus 6 per cent en deferred payments. _ Sidewalk paving will cpst approxi mately $4.00 per annum with accrued interest on deferred payments to the owner of 100 feet of frcntlage. These figures are only given-roughly, and are not an accurate statement, but sufficiently accurate to enable pro perty owners to get a fair idea of what sort of a burden abutting pro perty assessment will be. ~~ -i Most citizens seem to think that ar ranged as the payments will be, on a ten installment basis, the cost will be extremely light, and really insigni- j ficant as compared with the conveni ence and advantage to be had from the improvements.

It further reveals that the time is here when we seed to become aroused and make an jotellrgent study of our tax problem,' and with a degree of intelligence, at least, endeavor to get something con structive and remedial enacted at the next session of oi^'r legislature. The whole object of our government, national and state, seems to be to gouge the people for every dollar pos sible. We don’t know how long this tendency will last, but as we have be fore stated, it is inevitable that relief must come sooner or later. We can’t continue at the gait we are now traveling. .

Coker, well known farmer of Hartsville, declares that the boll weevil situation is growing worse and urges the farmers to use poison and to make a concerted fight to save their crops. His timely statement, issued a few days ago, follows: “The boll weevil situation now tfe much worse in this section than it has ever been before at this time of the year. Several days ago one of our experts was called »y a farmer a few miles north of Hartsville and asked to examine his crop. This farmer had the ' best long staple seed and a nice, * well worked crop, but our expert ^ found that seven out of every eight forms in his field had been destroyed by the weevil. No pois oning had been done in that field and the early crop, has been al most destroyed. The damage done by the weevil in that field s, . cannot be altogether remedied but > - with conatant and intelligent poisoning I believe that farmer can still ntake from one-half to three-fourths of a crop.

This is one case' where the live wire on a street is a big asset to the neighbors resident on the same street. If there happens to be no live wird who is watchful of the street^ interest as a community interest, the opportunities afforded to all streets alike may be lost by oversight of the residents of the streets. Just at the present mo ment there is, opportunity for all. But it is quite certain that the petitions for paving and white way lighting are going to exceed the funds appro priated for the purpose, and that Council will have to cut down on the petitions, at least in some instances, and perhaps take no favorable action in other instances, It is desirable, however, that all streets which are ambitious for the improvements peti tion immediately in order that all may be considered by Council, and at least have accorded to. each street such treatment as the importance of the street may justify.

When one has had the misfortune to suffer from backache, headaches, dizzi ness, urriinary disorders and other kid ney ills'—and has found relief from all this sickness and suffering, that per son’s advice is of untold value to friends and neighbors. Th6 following case is only one of many thousands, but it is that of a Clinton resident. Who could ask for a bettqr example? Mrs. Joe Chandler, 61 Florida St., says: “The first symptom I had of kidney trouble was bachache. When I swept, sharp pains shot down from the small of my back and fairly drove me wild. I was nervous and had pains in the back of my head and dizzy spells. My kidneys didn’t act right at all. I used Doan’s Pills and two boxes cured me. MANY YEARS LATER, Mrs. Chan dler said: “Doan’s Pills cured me of an attack of kidney trouble and I haven’t been bothered since.” Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a jcidney remedy—get Doan’s Pills—the same that Mrs. Chandler had. Foster-Milburn Mfrg., Buffalo, N. Y. Co.

Concerning the question of evolu tion, we should not worry as to whether our remote ancestors vwere monkeys or not, regarding the matter from a merely practical standpoint. There are quite enough problems in the present to keep us busy without borrowing trouble from a past which cannot be remedied. - The times have changed jjn many ways. The standards of living are not what they once were and the styles and customs have departed from old forms. There may even be cases in which it appears that women do not so much object to a double standard for men as to the fact that they can not so easily practice it themselves. When we regard the case of the in fant, however, we find that it is not among those who have fallen under the spell of those changes which bear the name of modern.
