Chant* th* Fiscal Year.
The excellent paper, the Greenwood
Index, is right when it makes the wise
suggestion that the State’s fiscal year
should be changed so as to end July 1st
instead of running with the calendar
year, aa at present. We agree with its
editorial in last week's issue and take
pleasure in reproducing it below The
Index says
It has always been a mystery to The
Index why the State's fiscal year has to
run with the calendar year Why, for
instance couldn't it not end July the
1st. as the Federal government does its
department* It would he so much
mure convenient
Take for instance the matter of fmng
the tax levy from the return* to the
auditor We could timplifv matter*
very much if the whole system were
changed The auditor has to travel
over the county now in the worst of
winter weather and work is nr»rr as
mt is factory m it should t«e If he were
allowed to do this work in the summer
be could render better service and the
people would be more re* pun si * e per
baps to the patrvotK duty of returning
property for ta sat ton
With the returns in hand when the
leywtature meet* would it not tie easier
to fit the rate fur the coming year than
M is now under the present tyatem*
The automobile roots more than is
generally suppoaed Think of the
enormous amount of time wasted by
people ta stopping their work to watch
the car go by
Not to attend the Barnwell County
Fair and help make it a success shows
s lack of pnde id the advancement of
the county It can be no better than
you make it
With a short corn crop we auppoae
that the average man will now have to
give up eating hominy and corn bread
• We should worry ”
It's just about the time of year for
the negro "hotsuppers" and their re
sultant shooting and cutting affrays and
homicides.
What reply can mere man make when
the wife says that Fashion demands
the slit skirt? Better be dead than out
of style.
“425,000 Citizens Hit by the Income
Tax,” says a headline. Wonder how
many editofh are in that fortunate
bunch?

Saved Girl’s Life
“I want to tell you what wonderful benefit I have re
ceived from the use of Thedford’s Black-Draught,” writes J
Mrs. Sylvania Woods, of Clifton Mills, Ky. -
“It certainly has no equal for la grippe, bad colds, j
liver and stomach troubles. I firmly believe Black-Draught -
saved my little girl’s life. When she had the measles, j
they went in on her, but one good dose of Thedford’s J
Black-Draught made them break out, and she has had no J
more trouble. I shall never be without J
BLack-KgHT
J in my home.” For constipation, indigestion, headache, dizzi- J
£ ness, malaria, chills and fever, biliousness, and all similar ^
jp ailments, Thedford’s Black-Draught has proved itself a safe,
fi reliable, gentle and valuable remedy. J)
# If you suffer from any of these complaints, try Black- 4
® Draught It is a medicine of known merit Seventy-five J
J years of splendid success proves its value. Good for J
A young and ofd. For sale everywhere. Price 25 cents.
