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 have found a few spots on
our plantation where the infesta
tion was around 25 per cent.
, After two poisonings with cacium
arsenate the infestation was lower
in every one of these spots than
it was a week ago and the cottoh
is fruiting satisfactorily. 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,

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

-Most of these petitions cover com
pletion of sidewalk paving both sides,
street paving, and in most instances,
white way lighting. i
About fifteen other street petitions
are in circulation. The following im
portant streets , have not up to this
date, June 24, applied for petitions for
circulation:

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.

will be petitions before Council, for at

What My Neighbor Says
Oftentimes the joy riders are sor
row limpers before they get back
year. - __
Almost every possible source of
revenue has been tapped,-as cited by
the South Carolina Gazette, we have:
A state tax on real property.
A county tax on real property.
A city tax on real property.
A state tax on personal property.
A county tax on personal property.
A city tax on personal property.
A varied assortment of special
school taxes.
A state tax on incomes.
A state tax on inheritances.
A'state corporatjon income tax.
A state corporation capital stock
tax. , • .
A state corporation license tax.
A municipal license tax.
A state documentary stamp tax.
A state tax on gasoline, (the high
est in the world.)
w W -J
A state tax on cigars, cigarettes ?nd
tobaccos. k
A state tax on cosmetics.*
A state tax on candies.
A state tax on soft drinks and ice
cream.
A fertilizer tag tax.
One gathers from this collect ; on
that our taxation system, like Joseph’s
coat, is of many colors. 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.

THE BOLL WEEVIL SITUATION
David R. 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. If he/
does not act at once there is little

white way lighting favors. 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

be considered by Council, and at least
have accorded to. each street such
treatment as the importance of the

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

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. A father, com
