Columbia, .Jan. 81, The deck* were cleared for action last week lu the ftouth Carollua General Assembly, cul minating In the Introduction Saturday la the flou*e of the annual appropria tion Mil. It was not so much what was argued and decided upon that made last week an Important one as tht> putting through of measures that under ordinary circumstances would have been loft until the last fow days of the h oss Ion. This was particularly noticeable in the lewcr House whore many local measures received their third and last reading. In Introducing the appropriation hill within IS days after the session con vened the ways and means committee, J. T. I. lies as ehalrinan, set it record. The appropriation hill carries yet an other feature: its aggregate lens than the preceding year. l?'or many years the tendency has heen to increase the appropriations gradually, hut It was thought that this year after IS months of financial strain a note of ee6nomy and retrenchment should lw sounded. This determination constant ly seconded hy the two branches of the Legislature, has enabled the ways and means conunlttcc to hand In a ldll that calls for f 2.MM, IPROli. or $79,LHJ0.S0 lews than last year. The early Introduction of the appro priation hill |>oli!ts to an earlier ad journment of the legislature than hat) been anticipated, for once this meas ure is passed It will be difficult to hold the legislators in Columbia, no matter what measures remain on the calen dar^ Aside from local legislation that dealt primarily with school districts and small bond issues for the erection of school buildings and jails, the leg islature has consumed many hours of the last week in electing various offi cials. For three days at noon the House and Senate met In Joint assem bly- for this purpose, resulting In the election of the following: T. it. Fra ser, associate justice: S. W. <}. Shipp, judge of the twelfth circuit; James \V. DeVore, judge of the eleventh circuit: Carlton W. Sawyer, comptroller gener al: F. H. McMaster. InsuranceiftCQm mlasloner; John L. McLaurln, ware house Commissioner; J. Kion, McKIst sick, code commissioner ; Mrs. Virginia CJreon Moody, State librarian; H. It. Tillman and D. W. McLaurln trustees of Wlnthrop College: A. II. Hawkins .and W. II. Glenn, directors of the state l>enltentlary ; C. K. Spencer and L. I'. Hollls, trustees of the University of South Carolina : K. II. Timmerman, S. T. McKeown and S. A. Hums, trustees of Clcinson College; (I. It. White and Charles F. Itrooks. trustees of the state college for negroes; John I\ Thomas and James II. Hammond, members of board of visitors of the Citadel. Indications are that the General As sembly will not dispose of the bill pro viding for nil appropriation of $50. 000 for the enforcement of the prohi bition and "gallon-a-month" laws of South Carolina. No provision for such an appropriation has been made in the appropriation bill. Three bills increasing jieiislons tc Confederate soldiers have also heen in troduced In accordance with the rec commendations of a special legislative committee, but it is probable that these also will not lie passed as the ways and meiins committee, consisting of 2.1 members, ha vp j^r> apprs priatlon of $'i(K).(KK), which is the same as in 1015. TAKING CARE OF THE CALF. Hints on the Management of the Fu ture's Milk-Producers. At this season the dairy calf is very often injured by neglect, which is hurt- ! Ail to the dairy farmer's interests. ' The calf should receive even better care than the cow. I The small dairyman should kill all grade bull calves. A pig will tfive bet ter returns for the skimmilk fed. (live the calves a good wnrm stall with^plenty of bedding. Keep thorn up on all cold, wet days. Water them in the barn or turn them out just long enough to get water. Do not force them to drink ice water. Feed enough grain of any kind ex cept cottonseed meal to keep them in good condition and if possible provide a rye or clover patch for grazing. A well fed calf will not suffer from lice Feed all the good hay a calf can eat. Never can a l^igher return be obtain ed for good clean hay than from the dairy calf. Keep the calf growing. A hide-bound calf is a high-priced calf and will not make the best kind of cow. Many calves nrr? rnimvl hwnnun they are kept too crowded. It is better to raise a few calves well than to have a large number of small, under-sized, half-fed animals,. A dairyman's business ability enn be judged by the condition of his calves. Never neglect the young dairy animal. Ludeed.. it should receive, the best food and care of any stock on the. farm. If c alves arc fed by hand, be sure that the palls from which they drink are well washed and sunned every day. A calf is a baby and is as easy to kill with dirty milk as a baby. Take'care of the calves, for they will soon be cows. ? J. M. Burgess, associate professor of dairying at Clemson. (Jet A Dedsion. ""He called me an ass !" "Don't Rtand for it." "What'll I do?"

Nrthtrr IHppett the Red Ilird in ItHlh of C'oiiK|iirlouN Color. (l\ A. 1>. Ill tlroenvtlle News.) We hove reail sotuewh'/rc, that Na ture clothes the little wlltl iicoplc in prutwtlvi* colors, colors that uieil ami mingle with their surroundings. thus rendering the individual loss conspic uous, less easily seen h> lt? natural enemies. That may be true, aiul doubtless Ik, In verj many instancea, but. Nature must have been In an ahseut minded mood when she dipjttl the red Idrd in a tmtti of most daringly eousplcu ous color In all the world, A color that ran Ih> seen further than any other, and one that Is hardest to hide. \galu?t the green of summer leaves, ho Is a vivid flash of tlaine- against the blue of the sky, he stands out j?s dear eut, as a midnight star?And, on the ground, he Is the -one thing In .sight, that the eye turns to. This world would havt to he a red world indeed. If we were to si>eak of him as protectively colored. No matter where he Is, he Is al ways In evidence*. The darkness of night Is about the only thing that can effectually hide his gorgeous coat. Hut, fortunately, he doesn't s??em to realize that he Is the cynosure of nil eyes, and goes about his business as 'luletly and unafraid as If he were garbed In the raiment of a whlppoor wlll. or In the "hnhd uie dow n" suit of an English sparrow. If he only knew that he was pver the "observed of all observers," he would either de veldi>e a bad case of swell head, or else die of fright. This rod bird, unlike the Cardinal Is only a summer visitor. He comes to us when skies are blue, when buds are bursting, and when soft breezes blow, and lingers until his little fam ily are strong enough to fly and feed themselves, and when October days come with their crisp chill, he lays in a supply of fuel, in the slmj>e of abundant food, and starts on his long voyage to his winter home in the tropics. There, he hides his beauty If he can, among whispering palms, and hanging orchids, until April comes again, when the call of Ills old home gets In his blood, and back lie journeys to cheer our orchards and our woodlands with his sang. The tanager, or summer red bird, is about three-fourths as large as a robin, and by long odds, is the eweetest singer >f the family. His color is an unbroken red body, tail and wings; Just one solid, uni form red. Not a dull red, or a brick dust red, but, the most brilliant, daz zling of all the reds! Ills favorite haunts are cool, shady groves, and he loves tall- thick evergreens, such as the holly or the magnolia. Darting 1n and out among the glistening leaves, he loves to fling out Ills life like whistlings. His usual call Is a decidedly musical, "ehleky, tuc-tuc J" which he repeats In quick succession, if at all excited. The little mate that he woes, and 'innlly wins Is totally lacking in his brilliant colorings, she being genteely ?'< tiled. In a neat-fltting coatsuit of 'live-green, with yellow slashings. When this high bred couple select a spot for the summer home, which Is more often than not. the extreme end of a hickory limb, the demure little newlywed collects dead twigs, and dried grasses, and fashions the-se rrrro mrher a msorderly looking nest, so carelessly woven Indeed, that day light can be seen through from be low Most of the actual work of con st ruction falls to the lot of the little wife ? her mate, when there is any work in sight, gets very cautious about being seen about the nest, and the part he takes in home building is hardly worth speaking of. While the three or four eggs are helmr laid, he keeps Industriously In the background ? determined that his telltale coat shall lead no one to the nest While the mother bird is putting in her two weeks of brooding, her mate will occasionally slip stealthily to her with a gift of an especially f.it grid), or a very ripe berry in his beak. Then he takes himself off to fhe top of some cearby tree, and wliisrb-s ,ind sing-j in cheer her'as she brools. Na ture certainly had the preservation of the sj>ecies in mind when she neg lected to dip the mother bird in the same pot of dye as the mala. For if the female wore the vivid roat of her mate, while sitting on the nest, she might just as well hang a red flag from the home tree, and be done with It. The young birds too, happily for ttuv * .safety, wear the dullest of ~oi or<. \ Itli only here and there a feath er showing the p?*oini*o of .sublet. ty-'Miv or olive. vnri it Is not iilll t!v.v .. : c fall *!??>? u J ?iai ihe young n.ai s take on t lie gorgeom- red of ii.? ! r indlent father.

Last year a jK'tltlon was circulated, was signed by a large number of citi zens. and presented to the county board requesting that theTiller'a Ferry road be repaired as a public road from San dy i irove church to Lynches river. The hoard, however, refused to repair It, claiming that there was very little travel on It. that only two white citi zens lived near It and that It would be necessary to haul clay two or three miles to put It in repar. These [ statements are Incorrect. Clay can be secured near the road all along, It Is traveled dally by the mall car rier, and others and, as stated above, Is used by a number of people as a public road. We. the taxpayers of this vicinity, demand that this road be put at least in better condition than it Is at pres ent. Taxpayer. TAX NOTICE. Ollice of Treasurer, Kershaw Co., Camden, S.
