DISPATCHES FROM COLUMBIA
Doings and Happenings That Mark

Capitol.
Columbia.
Cooperative creameries operated
during the past year under the direc
tion of Clemson college have proved
a great financial success, according to
figures.given out recently by W. W.
Long, state agent for the demonstra
tion work. The value of the product
marketed during the past 12 months
was $11,217.29. The oreamery routes
served 217 farmers, owning 650 cows.
The college also collected 4,035 dozen
eggs, which were sold at an average
of 16 cents a dozen. The eggs were
sold for $645.50.
The following table shows the re
sults of the Clemson creamery and
poultry association for the past 12
months:
Month. Lbs. Fat. Price Value.
September .. 508 $0.35 $177.82

Total ....................11,217.29
Discussing the creamery Mr. Long
said:
"WVhen we have worked out the
problem of making and marketing
butter under summer conditions at
our creamery at Clemson college, and
when Prof. R. L. Shields, head of the
animal husbandry and dairy division
at the college, and B. 11. Rawl, head
of the daAry division of the fedeTal
department of agriculture, state that
we are prepared to extend the cream
ery work, it is our wish to see that
the farmers and business men of Co
lumbia come forward and organie a
co-operative creamery at Columbia.
Then we will give it all the assist
ance possible from a scientific and
technical standpont.
"We hope to be in position to un
dertake this work this fall, If the
farmers and business men of Colum
bla will be in position to organize the
creamery.
"This policy will be pursued in es
tablishing other creanieries about the
state as rapidly as we think condi
tions justfy.
"It may be interesting to note just
how rapidly our creamery has devel
oped at Clemson. We not only eol
bet butter fat on these routes, but
we are also collecting eggs and mar
keting them in New York. Eggs have
been cheaper 'this spring than in the
passt ten years and while the farmer
has not received an increase over tihe
local price he has found a ready cash
market."

Tax Beard Should Assess Banks.
In an opinion handed down, Thomas
HI. Peeples, attorney general, said that
the act creating the South Carolina
tax commission required it to "assess
and equalize the taxa-ble value of banks
nd 'banking corporations for the year
915." His opinion on the subject was
asked 'by A. W. Jones, chairman of the
commission, following presentation of
a brief -by attorneys for a number of
* .4%- the banks in the state at a hearing on
the matter of valuation and assess
meont of bank and banking corporations
for taxation.
Offers a Model Building Code.
That cities may share properly In
the distribution of tile firemen's In
surance and protection fund, F". H-.
McMastr, state insurance commis
sioner, has prepared and mailed to
eaoh municipality In the state a copy
of a building and einspection code de
signed to meet the requirements of an
.act by the general assembly in 1914,
allowing two years for the passage of
tinifornm' ordinances. The code is
r'ecommnended for adoption in cities
which hiave/ not previously adopted
building 'codes.
MHme Club Wark li . It 4
The home deo$Xtreti4 'work has
been established in 'P COUntties with
24 well trained demobstrators, em
ployed for 10 ,Xuonths each year, ac
cording to a repdrt 41164 With Gov.
Manning by Miss Edith L. gParrott,
state agent. The report is contained
in the annual statement of all hea(1
of depat-tments of' Winthrop college.
Approximately 3,090 women and girls
are receiving practical lessons in home
economics and elementary agricul
ture. A four year's curriculum of
study has now been iapped out for
tbe inembers of the clubs.
Bread club work is now being con
ducted itn all of the 24 counties. This
new feature was inaugurated in 1914.
This summer a short course will
be given at Winthrop college. Two
girls will attend from each county.
In addition three-day courses will ~e
glyen at Charleston, Gaffney, Coluin
bia and Greenville.
"Our home demonstration work,"
says Miss Parrott, "is a strilving ex
ample of the interdependence of town
and rural activities."
The demonstration work has been
litagurated in the following counties:
Abbeville, Anderson, Barnwell, Beau
fort, Charleston, Chester, Cherokee,
Clarendon, Darlington, Dillon, Flor
ence, Greenville, Horry, Lee, Lexing
ton, Marion, Marlboro, Newberry,
Richland, Spartanburg, Sumter, Union,
York and Williamsburg. The various
agencies have raised $22,525 for the
support of the work. In 1914 the
counties coutributed $13,325 as com
pared with $17,150 this year, which
shows that interest in the movement
is increasing.
"With the growth of the Lever
lund, our organization w'il he
strengthened from year to year,,' says
Miss Parrott.
For Eradication of Cattle Tick.
Systematic campaigning for the
eradication of the cattle tick will be
undertaken at once in the 13 coun
ties yet under quarantine: Barnwell,
Hampton, Jasper, Beaufort, Bamberg,
Orangeburg, Clarendon, Williamslburg,
lorry Georgetown, Berkeley, Dor
,,Counties in which the work of crad
ication is now being carried on are:
Lancaster, Kershaw, Fairfield, Rich
land, Lexington, Saluda, Edgefield,
Alken, Calh-oun and Charleston. Ter
ritory not included in the two named
divisions has been released as exempt
from the cattle tick. This free zone
approximates 12,484 square miles, or
two-fifths of the state's entire area.
Inspector, plan to release eight or ten
more counties during the current year.
Ten veterinary inspectors and 40
lay inspectors are engaged in the
work. Just now there are 200 dipping
vats in operation in the state about
50 of these benig in Charleston coun
ty. An appropriation has been pro.
vided by the state legislature of $30,
000 annually the last two years, the
United States government duplicating
this amount. The work in South Caro
lina is under the supervision of Walter
K. Lewis, who represents the bureau
of animal industry of the Uni-ted
States department of agriculture and
who works in conjunction w'ith this
department of Clemson College.

IN THICK OF FIGHT
Fierce Exaltation of Battle Told
by Frenchman.
Corporal Describes the Hoarse Shouts,
the Rasp of Steel on Steel, the
Appeals for Mercy In Street
Fighting.
Paris.-"No more excitement; an
astonishing caliml fills us as we open
fire upon the Germans who have taken
cover in the houses in the outskirts
of the village," swrites Charles Tar
dieu in a recent installment of his
"Impressions of a Corporal," published
in the Figaro.
"From windows, embrasures, from
the cover of doorways they blaze away
at us. Forty bodies are strewn aeross
the interval between us; a few wound
ed men are scrambling and wriggling
in the mud. Little by little we re
gain our breath.
"At the top of the village street de
bouches a company of German infan
try. A hellish fire welcomes them,
but still they come on, sowing their
dead by files. Faster and faster we
pump our breech bolts. Thei first
ranks crumple, they tramp over them;
the next rank falls,, still they come
on. At last their chief, a hugd..devil
of an officer, who is waving them on,
goes down. A new volley drops.seven
or eight more men. This time they
stop, hesitate a second, then turn and
run.
"'Ohirge!' roars the captain. 'Give
them the steell' We rush in, our two
buglers, their neck veins swelling,
playing us the heart-stirring notes of
the charge. . A heroic intoxication
swells through us and we run like be
ings possessed into the narrow 'treets,
through the humming bullets.
"Into houses, through gardens, past
open doorways the skirithishers throw
themselves, to come out with dripping
bayonets. No more shots--death
shrieks, groans, hoarse shouts, piteous
cries for mercy are mingled with the
crash of falling furniture, the slam
ining of doors, the nasty rasp of steel
on steel. And over it all the strident
notes of the charge!
"From each house as it is silenced
pour our men, some of them wounded.
Hatless, coatless, without their'packs;
one man has discardod his blouse and
is working with his sleeves rolled up.
"Trampling on the corpses that
strew the way, leaping over obstruc
tions, we niake our way up the street,
when a machine gun section appears
in front of us. But before they have
time to unlimber we are upon them.
An instant of hard work with butt
and steel and its crew is down be
side their overturned piece. We pass
on.
"Into the cross street we turn. A
few bodies are lying there; one house
is burning briskly. Spiked helmets
bob over the walls as their wearers
