On Men and News By Spectator. MORGAN and TAXPAYING. THE CONSTITUTION. THE CONGRESS. J. P. Morgan must be a bed citizen, he does not like to pay taxes. What sort of rum is he anyhow? All the rest of us are in oar very happiest mood when we pay our taxes. Some of us arc so happy about it that we overpay, or pay two or three times. Isn’t that so? Or am I dreaming? Some of oar citiienes have risen to high levels of self-denial and have not paid their taxes miaaad a pleasure Now why all this poppy cork about Mr Morgan? He told the troth when he said that people pa y only sorb taaee In other rowatrlee of the world, a notary public Is quite a man; but here be ie just a notary public—and that's all. I'm one of 'em myself. Bat when a lawyer conjee to that he provee to you that an OFFICER ia not holding an OFFICE, becauae an OFFICE ia not an OFFICE—and all that If there ia anything clear in the intent of the Constitution it is to prohibit extra compensation. But the lawyers prove that “compensation” is one thing and “expense money” is some thing else—so what’s the use? Of course there are many other points. One of the clearest is that section which declares that the three departments of the State government shall be forever separate and distinct. Sounds clear to me. Yet nearly every Legislative Delegation sets itself up as a superior authority over the ad ministrative affairs of its county. So, one may understand the confusion of the retired business man on his lit tle senatorial island, surrounded by lawyers, and still repeat what a be loved Episcopal bishop used to say about the Bible: “Let’s act on what we can understand and atop worrying about what we can’t understand.” There’s a lot in the Constitution that’s perfectly intelligible, if only we would abide by it So they have Yet Ml us Mr Ufa* l *f\f 4Umr*‘ Ie be We get tired of fruit cake and tur key, if we have such things too often.

Jr . has annauared that Dm (teem af WiUtetan ban tied aui against W. E. Aadereon for iepae< tension of the water works system of the town. Mr. Anderson has bean in poaeesaion of the water worka sys tem since January, 1933, under an agreement executed between Mr. An derson and the mayor and intendanta in office at that time. The complaint charges that the said agreement ia null and void, since the proposition was not submitted to a popular vote of the citizens of Willis- ton, also that the officers in charge at that time did not have authority to enter into an agreement, the ten ure of which, was longer than their term of office. Mr. Kennedy said that the present bonded indebtedness can be refinanced if the town can regain control of the water system, with a saving of $20,- 000.00.

Mr M J.C » mr Hail to Oahlee A hard rain »lorm and •ome toil were reported by famera of the Gali lee section, several miles East of Barn well Wednesday morning of last week. Quite a good deal of damage was done to melons, and other crops suffered to some extent. One melon patch, considered one of he best n this section, was con siderably damaged, but, not, however, as seriously as was first tought. Several other melon growers of that section eport damage to their crops also. AMMTVM Y1 rmne a very im portsnt pmhlsm In fertiliaer practices, tto South Carolina Expelment Station has far 10 yes re been studying tto responses in yields of cotton from various sources of ni trogen fertiliser. The results may to indicated briefly in a statement by Dr. W. R. Paden, associate agromonist, who is in immediate charge of the studies. “On the unlimed plots,” says Dr. Padten, “the highest yield waa secured from calcium nitrate and on the limed plots from cotton seed meal. Where the single sources of nitrogen were used, there was a differnce of 346 pounds between the highest and {he lowest yields on the unlimed plots for the eight-year period whereas for the same period on the limed plots the difference between the highest and lowest yelds was 348 pounds. These data show very clearly that no mark ed difference in the yields would be expected from the use of various sour- ces of nitrogen on limed soil which has a desirable reaction. Where the question of soil acidity is taken care of, one might expect approximately the same yield from the various sources of nitrogen.” These and other impotrmnt results, together with facta and figures on the details of the experiments which were begun in 1927, are to be found in Bulletin 309, entitled Responses from Various Sources of Nitrogen, prepar ed by Dr. Paden and poblabed by the Sooth Caolna Experiment Station.

Screonng of doora and windows is the most important practice which aids in protection against house flies, says the county agent, pointing out that it is really deplorable to drive through the country and see how few houses are screened, especially in view of the importance of this safe guard. As to weapons of offense the agent suggests that flies should be fought with traps, sticky fly paper, sprays, swatters and poison bait. Of the lattej» the bait containing the follow ing ingredients has been found to be effective; one tablespoon of formalde hyde, one pint of skim milk, and one pint of water. This should be ex posed in shallow pans. Stable manures should be hauled out as frequently as practicable and spread thinly over the fields, and other fly-breeding sources should be destroyed.
