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.

inside oi the c:i' i ?' >v they have chosen.

best of condition and kv j)i so by those
who work v. it1! io 1?1.
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

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

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.

JURY CLEARS
S. T. 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

J. S. Bellamy, Dr. H. H. 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

iii the State of North Caroli,

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. Benton.
The arguments were all made o?
'r Wednesday evening and the jur,\
charged on Thursday morning. The;
retired and remained out only i
* short time : nd brought out a ver
diet of not guilty.
* The morbid thoughts created ii
tho minds of the many at the spec
' : tacle viewed by tho coroner's jury
I was enough to cause remarks as wa
amply proved in the testimony ii
* this case; and the same thinj
brought a crowd to the court hous<
to hoar about the slander in all it
details. They hoard it.
* Tho matter out of which the eas
sprung may or ir.ay 11: t rest a

HOUSECLEANING
NOT IIARD LABOR
Housecleaning need not be the bug?
bear it has long been regarded in [
many households. If the work is carefully
planned, if the kind of furnish- j
tngs that are easy to keep clean arei,
chosen and handled in the right way, \\
and if provision is made for keeping j
all the dirt posible out of the house, .
there will be no need for the up-i j
heavals that result in discomfort to i
jthe entire household. The following j,
ijmv good rules by which to organize!,
the housecleaning:
Keep dirt out of the house by clean j!
ing the walls, steps, porches and sills ;
j regularly and often, by screening \]
windows and doors near the ground,;
liwl K\* inciul imr mi li<i\Mii<r niiuldi' !
I shoes and coats cleaned or left out-I
1 side.
| Lessen the number of dirt-collecting!
places, such as unnecessary cupboards,
grooved and carved woodwork, floors |
with cracks, rough-finished walls,
elaborately carved and upholstered!
furniture, superfluous draperies and;
bric-a-brac.
i Remove dirt frequently and syste-J
matically. This keeps the house and
[furnishings in better condition, and
'makes the need of heavy cleaning less
frequent.
, Cleaning by taking the dirt away,
not by scattering it, to settle again
elsewhere.

Do heavy cleaning a little at a time
to avoid the hard work and discomforts
of the old-fashioned spring and
fall housecleaning.
Have a supply of good cleaning

convenient place. If )
Use water and cleaning agents spar j
ingly, because otherwise they may |
spoil finishes and weaken glue, paste j
