How can a man's money do him any good when he sends good money after bad. Make goods investment or keep tlie money itself is a good rule. o The man who thinks lie knows profits by it only to the extent that he possesses the faculty and ability to investigate and if possible attain the place where he knows lie knows. o For the man who is poor to start with and who is at the same time unwilling to deny himself the empty pleasures and excesses of this world, there is absolutely no hope that he can ever make much advancement. It would appear that while building materials have dropped off a great deal in price, yet the reduction lias not been enough to induce the gxineial public i > thini* .hat it ;hould beg*in to buid houses for rtnt.

The life rn ! u e ulness of tne automobile or t ruck depends upon the care that is taken. A machine o,' thi kind will not take care of itself, li must ho kept properly iui ricated and must be gone over for loose parts and adjustments at regular intervals, the oftener, according as it is much used, or else it will wear out in a short time and the owner loses about all he paid for it. o TAX CONFl'S!()N. The school districts now have to he kept separately on the tax duplicates t hn nntmf \? Tb ?. % ? ?? > VIIV- v? i ?. . I Ill."> I ^ t cWL m'U \N I 11J4 into one of the greatest sources of mistakes, nonpayment of taxes, and much annoyance and confusion. This has l>een brought about by the fact that special levies apply in those districts where they are voted in by the people and do not apply in those where they are not voted in. Of course the taxes levied in this way for school purposes must be applied to the credit of the district where paid, hence the necessity of keeping each school ditsrict on separate pages of the tax duplicate books, and the names of the taxpayers in each dis-1 trict in alphabetical order. In times gone by when there were no special levies for the schools, the townships of the county formed the only divisions into which the tax books were divided. The names of the taxpayers in each of the townships were written up in alphabetical order and ii was much easier to find out what a man's taxes was, and and easier to koep the account of pay ment when made and apply it at the proper place. Of late years under the law as to special levies for the schools, the people have become more and irore interested in the cause of education and have voted in the school tax upon their property, many times this happens in a district where none of the districts bounding it have ever voted in the special tax. It makes about one hundred per cent more work for the auditor, and much move than twenty-five per cent '"or the treasurer, and the chances for error is multiplied a hundred ;'ol<'. In many ca es, for instance, there is a land owner who-e home is on a tract of land, the main portion of which lies in a district where no special tax lias been vuLnd. lie- has about ten acres across the line of a school district where there is a special tax u> do paid. The neighbors in the district where the U\:< i ' to he paid 10port this to the tax authorities and the ten acres, valued perhaps at twenty dollars is charged tip in one district while the balance of the tract is charged in the district where the owner lives. This man corner down in January or February and asks the amount of his taxes and fivr>e iU* number of the school district in which he lives. The treasurer looks him up in that district and he pays what the treasurer say;-; lie owes. The little ten acre piece in the other district is thought about and nothing more is known until long after the time for paying taxes has expired, there is an execution issued for the few cents that are charged against the ten acres, and the man is put to cost in the handling of the execution many times over the amount of the tax. In a few instances there are divisions of a small tract of land into as many as three different school di*Rub-My-Tism is a great pain kilW. Relieves pain ard ?mv?irv-t Rheumatism, Neuralgia, .Sprain. , etc.?Adv. tricts making it necessary for three different receipts to be peipared in order to collect a very small amount of tax money. It is now fast reaching the time when some general application of the extra school tax ought to be applied to all of the county alike so that the keeping of school districts in this way on the tax books will not be necessary. o We cannot agree with the men who decry the present day fashions. Who wants the old hoopskirt or the lengthy train. To see them is enough to convince that the fashions of this time are better. o questions am) answers. Is it advisable to use kainit under corn ? J. M. B., Prosperity, S. C. Kainit is ordinarily not necessary under corn. Practically all of the soils in this state will produce good corn without kainit. I doubt also if it is economical. On experiments which we have condeucted on very light sandy soils, we have gotten no increase with potash under corn. Kindly toll me what will rid us of the red spider on pot plants and shrubs. T. W. B., Georgetown, S. C. The use of lime-sulphur wash at rate of one gallon of the wash to i 100 gallons ol water, or one pint to twelve gallons of water. If limesulphur is not available, you can possibly get potassium sulphate, which may be used at the rate of one pound to thirty gallons of water. For plants which can be reached with a stream of water from the hydrant, base, drenching two or three times a week will control the red spider. Please tell me how to remove warts I from my heifer's teats. R. A. 1>. The c warts may bo removed with a sharp pair of scissors and tumor caustic applied to the wound. Can I rai<e two crops of wheat pel year? \V. C. R., Swansea. It is not possible under ordinary 'conditions t-> r"ise two crops of wheat a year in South Carolina. The summer crop i- usually dc roved by rust and makos practically no growl Y There may be seme seasons where i but I think ordinarily ;t would be a failure. It would be better to plant s 1 ve other crop, such as cowpeas, say!)eans or peanuts. , Would it be advisable, ond how, t > treai velvet bean seed for ii sects? W. A. K.. Westvi!!o. PiU you)' velvot beans in ; bin or Iai'L>e tifht !hjY<>n or in lini'mlj It' in a bin, 1 would use about two pounds of carbon bisulphide sprinkled over thfe sacks. If no small tight room is available I would prefer the boxes or the barrels. I se about three ounces of carbon bisulphide for each barrel. First put (he seed in the barrel and pour carbon bisulphide over it, and close the barrel tightly at the top. Keep fire of any kind away when handling1 carbon bisulphide. Please tell me what to do for plant lice 011 my wheat. U. (J. R., Lexington. Wheat is too far advanced at this time to be seriously injured by lice, except the black grain louse, which may injury the wheat in small spots. How is asparagus propagated? J. B. H., Fountain Inn. Asparagus is propagated by seeds. The best time for planting is during March, although it may be planted as late as the first of June, and if thinned out to three or four inches apart in the row will make crowns large enough to transplant to the field by November 1. If you are growing asparagus on a small scale it might be well for you to purchase crowns next November, but if you contemplate growing it extensively for market purpose I would advise you to plant the seed and raise your own plants.

PERMENTER Tried for Malicious Slander of Young Lady in 1920 RELATES BAClT TO INFANTICIDE : Committed by Some Unknown | Person Last Year at Wortham's Bridge. ____ No case in recent years has attracted more attention than the slander case tried in court last Wednesday and concluded on Thursday against S. T. Permenter, W. E. Henton, Maggie Jones, and a negro wo man by the name of Patience Ste venson. The prosecutor was J. Sici Bellamy, who has numbers of rela tives in the Buck Creek or Kbenezei section of Horry county. He lives 01. a valuable farm owned by him a; Wortham's Kerry where, in addition to farming he is engaged in merchandising. The incidents of the case go hack to the gruesome spectacle of a newly born infant, a white child, being found in the Waccamaw Iiiver on Sept. 23, 11)20. Around the child's 11o< ir hsnl In (?i\ find with I?if;*e <>l | common burlap several pieces of plow casting, Tim had been lound turning in the water about three quarters of a mile below Wort ham's bridge. The charge against the defendants grew out of statements made by them after holding the inquest over the remains of the poor littlo baby, as to who they thought was the mother therei I' and as to what they had :evii before and after the find ing of the body. Theie was some showing ma:!e a to efforts to establish that the find was of the colored pursua ;ion, bu*? this did Siot lead to anything bseau -o o'd inu < Su .

Bui roughs, Dr. Hollis. and Lacy Stac::h- use. Dr. H. H. Burroughs testified t<> an examination made by hi:.i an , Dr. Hollis here in Conway the latter part of October 1920. This testimony of Dr. Burroughs and also that given by Dr. Hollis proved to be the best evidence that the State produced. It was brought out in the case that Dr. .J. A. Stone had been the family physician before and since but that Dr. Stone had not been called in oil this. It was the contention of the State that the satcmcnts made by the defendants were false and were made with malice toward the one accused. Witnesses placed on the stand by the State such as Mr:-. Mario Pnrm^nter testified on cros.-t examination to about the same f??' and circumstances as had been told about by the defendants, hence there :'.s up a strong <loubt as to the falseness of the statements that it as !<. o ci the defendants had j made. As to VV. E. Benton it developed I that what he said about it had beei. said in the State of North Carolina and on that account the State relucantly submitted to the ruling of the coint that South Carolina has iv? power to hold Benton responsible i * i i i- i -.4 K : . tor what no nati sjiki wium- ai mhorne iii the State of North Caroli, na. This brought tho defendant* down to throe. Later on it appealed that there was no evidence aagainst Mrs. Jones mid she waj dropped out. This left two. Pa, ti^nco Stevenson remained in until Thursday morning when the solicitor decided to let her out and he did 1 so. This left S. T. Pernicnter aloiu 1 to face the jury. The ?ury was composed as fol lows: H. 0. Paul, E. F. Davis. J. A Booth, Rupoi*t D. McNeill, <r. C. Cox ' W. S. Hal-on, Pope Watts, V/. H King, Lueian Ve'een. L. I). Stevens Arthur Ckmly and VV. A.
