"No. I couldn't afford to burn up money in that way." "And didn't you ever have a toy can-; non?" "Never. I did my celebrating in a safe and sane way." "How was that?" "Well, I used to get a piece of garpipe, plug one end of it, fill it with powder and then touch a match to it. Talk about noise. It beat any toy cannon I've ever heard." HIS FATHER A STANDPATTER. "Well, my little man, I set; you tire carrying a flag. Do you know why we are celebrating today?" "Yes. 'Cause Huertu didn't bust the country." INDEPENDENCE. This is the lay on which the average man shows his independence ty doing foolish things without having gained his wife's permission. Commended by War Department President W. M. Riggs, of Clenison College, has received a complimond atory telegram from the War Department which will he read with interest by Clemson men, both alumni end undergraduates, throughout the State. The telegram is signed by Adjutant General Hcistand and is as follows: "On recommendation of College Inspection Beard, institution under your control especially commended for progress and improvement din ing the year, and announcement to that effect will he made in War Depaiti rncnt Bulletin." i LOVE rkV/O-vu i \j mis J CRACKERS. A wet Fourth makes a lean grave yard. The fool and his digits are soon parted. The sticks fall alike on the just and the unjust. A thumb on the hand is worth two in the alcohol. It is better not to take a dare than to get your hand scorched. The boy who doesn't get too gay may celebrate another day. It isn't always the firecracker witli the longest fuse that makes the most noise. Remember that the giant firecracker is always just getting ready to go off when you bend over it to see what is the matter. j J0* Let us then be up and shooting, with a heart for any fate, lighting fuses and then scooting?learn to stand aside and wait.

Aren't you at all afraid?' "Oh, no, not a bit. I'm only his stepmother." 8. E. KISER. Tobacco Seeds Soaked in Milk, A new experiment was tried this year by W. I<\ Sutton when he sowc( his tobacco seed for this year's crop He had been told that the seech would come up thicker if he soakec them in sweet milk before planting them. He planted about two third* of the bed with dry seed, and soakec the remainder in sweet milk foi about twenty-four hours, and ther sowed them over the remaining third He states that the dry seed did no1 come up very thinly, but those h< had soaked in the milk came up as thickly as the hairs on a man's head Others might try this with profit. PLATFORM OF A. W. JONES A. W. Jones Who is Standing for Reelection as Comptroller General. Everybody know.-* A. W. Jones the careful painstiking Comptroller general for the past several years. He has always had a platform, ' and recently circular letters were sent out from Columbia containing his platform as folows: Public officials should be held to a rigid accounting for public funds. Each and every taxpayer should only pay a just portion of the expenses of the Government and no more. Equal rights to all, special privileges to none. Saves $10,949.04 on State Insurance. His latest effort?State Insurance. Ar>f 1G1/1 A&W Vi. XV 111 Saves the taxpayers $10,949.04, of which $7,957.14 is a clear profit without one cent of risk. The record of A. W. Jones, Comptroller General, is familiar to the people of the State. They know it has > been an honorable and conscientious j one. The principal objection made to * him has been on account of his efI forts to have the laws of the Stat< ' with the reference to assessments and the proper accounting: for public funds enforced. He would make it plain that the enforcement of the laws of the State is for the benefit of the masses, and further he is unalterably opposed to increasing the taxes of the people. Under present conditions the poorer classes are paying an unjust proportion of taxes. Since A .W. Jones has been in office he has uncovered in errors and bad book-keeping over $250,000.00, He has collected $97,350.00 in shortages which has been paid into the State, County and School funds. He also assisted in the preparation of the Act of 1912 for the refunding of the State Debt which when carried out by the Sinking Fund Commission will secure a saving of about TWC MILLION DOLLARS to the tax-payers of the State. His motto: "Hew to the line, let the chips fall where they may." The South Carolina Experiment Station has just issued a bulletin containing a revised list of bulletins of the station available for distribution. This may be had by applying to the director of the Experiment Station, Clemson College. L I ??? _ . ? - - ? iow 10 uive quinine To Children.
