TAX COMMISSION WINS. Berry and Moise Defend Act of Assessing Body. By the narrow margin of five votes, the house of representatives Thursday retained the present tax commission, by rejecting the ways and means committee bill providing for its substitution wi^h a board of three tax assessors, to be elected by the general assembly. Ninety-seven out of the 124 members voted. The stamp of approval given the present personnel of the commission was in reality a personal victory for its chairman, A. W. Jones, for it was at him that the fight primarily was aimed. The proponents of the bill unhesitatingly stated that they were endeavoring to aoonsn me yieacui personnel by legislative enactment. The fight was the revival of oppossition to the state tax commission which has appeared on the floor of the house for the past three years, but has never got beyond the senate. Last year a measure abolishing the commission was adopted by the lower body, but was rejected by the senate. Anti'Smoking Bill Subject of Joke. ' The following appeared on the editorial page of the New York Telegraph of Sunday, January 25: "Some South Carolina legislator from the sticks has introduced a bill in the general assembly of that State forbidding smoking in the dining rooms of hotels and in restaurants, after meals: It is probable he lives on a farm, and more than likely he boards in a private family while at Columbia. . This is the usual type. Of course " there are public dining rooms in South Carolina where smoking is not ftiinwAri at Dresent.- just as there are such dining rooms in New York and all other cities. And to these the nonv smoker can resort if he so elect; he is sure not to be annoyed by either the presence of the smoker or the \ aroma of the 'smoke.' But this doesn't agree with the notions of a chronic busy-body. He not only insists upon the right to regulate his own habits, but he has a call to ride herd on the habits of other people. "However, it doesn't bother us piuch. We seldom go to South Carolina. If ve did we might ask our ft: i '". own legislature to make reprisal by forbidding any visitor to this island to eat pie with a knife." ' The bill referred to was introduced by Senator Padgett, of Colleton. ^^ BMk ? > COKFESSES TU JLMJL ISIjI!; JllKWEiK.

Clemson College, Jan. 29.?There is a considerable demand for testing different menthods and machines for catching and controlling the boll J weevil. While a great number of solutions and mechanical devices have been tested during the last twenty years, so far none have been found practical, says Prof. A. F. Conradi. a recognized authority on the boll weevil. The fact, however, that these have been failures does not guarantee that some practical conrivance may not be devised. Frequently farmers purchase too quickly the devices that are offered for sale. Those who have had the . * ?with these inven iOIlgtJSC CApci ^? tions have learned to proceed cautiously. While the division of Entomology of Clemson College is glad at all times to cooperate with any well meaning person or firm in trying a new method or machine, it distinctly withholds any opinions until the tests have been completed and the results clearly shown. If a method has merit it will be supported, and if it has not merit it will be so reported. Tests made this spring can not be reported on until we know the product in pounds of seed cotton during the fall. A machine may do many interesting things, but if it fails to proportionately increase the yield, then it has little or no value. Too Quiet. "ml *" -* ? ?T i c oor.
