Land was assessed for taxation at 12.00 per acre, a very unjust and unequitable fleure. and the hoard at its recent meeting. Ijraorlne the |k _ underestimated, instructions of the Tax Commission, decided to assess all lands at $4.00 per acre instead of $2.00 as before. This decision on their part does not. in any sense equalize the values of land In the, county, for there are certain lands in the county which Boys Urged to Join . Corn aitd Pig Clubs Bisbopavllle, 9. C.. Mar. 1*. 191*. To tha Boys of Sooth Carolina: Wt nra.now In the early part of a new year, which year may go down In history as the moat Important In all the history of tha worid. Won derful things are happening among all the nations of the earth. ThU means that the world It being made over, and It Is yoor good fortone, aad mine, that we have a part in this re-making process. Let os see to It that not one thing is left un done that will help make the world n lit place for Christian people to lire In. J A plentiful supply of corn and hogs must be grown. Our State re sponded nobly to the call of tho President for an increased produc tion of food in 191L The corn crop was increased 248,000 acres, and the yield 11,939.000 bushd* over that of 191*. In this increase the Club Boys played an important part. < Corn Is not the only great need, and in the production of which we can Vngaae. We are told that th-’ world is feeding a shortage of hog Besides the necessity of supplying the/needs of our own soldiers. are being called upon to furiHsh greater quantities to the allies. The gravity of this situation should not Each boy in South Carolina should be asking, “What can I do?’ - You can Join the Bovs’ Corn and Pig Clubs which are being conduct ed bv Clemson College and the Vni*- ed States Department of Agricul ture co-operating, and he n produc er of Yood, and thereby help to fee l acre t ani there are other lands which are wdrth not more than $4.00 p.>r acre. So in the one cake the owner will pav on 4 per cent of his land value and in the other at its full’value or 10ft per cent. .Tin* same unjust and unequal burden «>f taxation will, therefore, fall upon land owners as at present. It la true that our lands were as sessed at too ridiculously low a fig ure, and the burden of taxation, therefore, fell ,upon the personal property of the county. $4.ftft pc- aefe Is not too high for the lands to be assessed. We are not object- Ing to this, but we do object to mak ing the man who own* land worth not over $5.0ft to $lft.ft0 per acr-» pay upon the same assessed value as the man who owns land which Is In a high state of cultivation, and which Is worth $75.00 to $150 00 per acre. We do not think the State Tax Commission, if it has power to regu late this matter, will ^accept thy basis of taxation for lands in Colle ton courtly. We do not think they should do so. NOW KOI!

The reason this famous root and herb remedy, Lydia E.

AVERY’S Cultivators and Harrows w The Avery “Gee Whiz,, Cultivators are a highly successful combination spring-tooth, side ahd “V” harrow and cultivator. On account of its m^ny adjustments this implement has become very popular for all stages of cultivation. . • ' # • The jerky, vibratory action of the well-tempered spring teeth causes the blade to tear up and shake loose all the roots of grass and weeds, leaving them on the surface exposed to wind and sun, consequently in a few minutes they are wilted and done for. and the soil is left in a firmly pulverised condition. These Cultivators are made in many styles and are very econ omical in price. We heartily recommend them. * (■ * ’ . yZ • „ * . z. * Avery Orchard Harrows * •. a. •. _ •*' e . *- * r / ' \ •» / > .
