AN INDIRECT TAX.
Some one introduced a Mil in the
House at the last session of the legis
lature which proposes to levy a tax
of 2 per cent, upon premiums of in
surance companies doing business in
towns with fire departments having
an apparatus worth $1,000, etc., and
the amount derived from such tax
shall be used as a fund for the relief
of any members of the fire depart
ment of such cities or towns who may
be injured or disabled, and for the
relief of, or payment of gratuities to
widows or those dependent uoon any
mfi nber of such fire department who
may be killed, for t<he payment of
necessary funeral ex pens as of any
member of such fire departmnt, or
for the purchase of accident insur
ance upon the members of such fire
department, and for superanuated
and disabled firemen, etc.
The insurance companies claim
this bill should be signed by the
governor. If is likely tl^at in several
of the citie/s and towns affected by if;
tfne companies will feel bound to
raise tlhe rates so as to realize the
taxes, as the present rates are as low'
as thev can afford to maintain exis
ting taxation, and any increase in
taxation would mean 1 necessarily an
increase in rates.
Thus the burden of maintaining
this inforced and supposed charity
would fall indirectly and entirely up
on merchants, manufacturers and
others, the nature of whose business
compefls them to seek tin* protection
of insurance.
It will thus be seen that the ob
ject of the author of the bill will be
defeated, and that, after all, the poli
cy holders will be made to bear a
burden that was intended to be im
posed upon ther insurance companies.
For this reason it is to be hoped that
the governor will vote the bill, be
cause taxes and insurance rates in
South Carolina are just about as
high as the most of us want th^m to
be.

NOTES AND COMMENTS.
We haven’t said anything about it
so far. therefore, it may appelar stale
to some of our readers but Miss Alice
Roosevelt, the eldest daughter of the
president, was married last Saturday
a week ago to Congressman Nicholas
Longworth.
* * *
Johann Hock was hanged in Chica
go last week. This is the gentleman
who married thirteen women and
who was convicted of poisoning one
in order that he might get her money.
The circumstancial evidence was that
he had poisined others, but one con-
vicition was enough.
«
A good friend sends us a private
letter in which he takes occasion to
say: "And you help lighten the
load.” Ah. we wonder if he ever
thinks about how his kind words help
to lighten the load? Kind words do
more to help lighten the load than
anything else. They cost nothing,
therefore, scatter them broad cast.

The Manning Times heads an edi
torial "Tillman wants justice and he
should get it.” Tins is rather sug
gestive. coming from “My Dear Ap-
pelt,” but we have no hesitency in
saying that should the senator get
justice on the dispansary subject it
will be necessary for him to visit a
warmer clime than this will be even
next summer when he proposes to
take the stump for the dispensary.

iOur good brother of the> Ledger
says, “let Mr. Hardin frame a bill,
that will meet all the requirements.”
refering to our public roads. Now it
is up to all tax payers to vote, as it
were, Miair ideas on the roal ques
tion and not Mr. Hardin’s alone.
Doubtless Mr. Hardin could easily
draft a bill , which would meet with
universal approbation and so could
others, but that will not bh consi ler-
ed an answer yet, to Mr. Hardin’s let
ter of last week. We certainly agree
with him in saying that under the
prsemt conditions and with same laws
under which we work, that addition
al taxation would not be a satisfac
tory solution of this problem. When
a farmer goes to the county seat to
pay his taxes and sees the enormous
expenditure of money lying idle
trapped up in the cumbersome steel
and iron in the form of road machin
ery and which has been rusting un
used for twelve months or more, with
this staring him in the face, would
he ever be willing to pay any more
tax, to fatten the pockets of mjichine
corporations and satisfy the whims
and extravagances of a few officials?
Oh, no: he would say at once, let’s see
them use what they have, and after
we see some benefit, then we will
talk about an increase in our road
tax.—Blacksburg Chronicle.
The Ledger is not going to lock
horns with The Chronicle or anyone
else on the question of road building.
We are agreed on the machinery
question. What we want is to devise
some means to keep that machinery
at work. Our preselnt income for
road purposes is insufficient to keep
the machinery at work and we be
lieve the merchants an/d property
owners of Gaffney are willing to tax
themselves for the purpose of help
ing build good roads for tha farmers,
believeing that by so doing they will
reap an indirect benefit. Brother
Pfeifer is too well informed not to
know that good roads are a benefit
to a town as well as the neople of the
country.
The barber looked in the other’s
face, then he felt the bumps on his
customer’s head. “Well.” he t said,
“you’re a preacher, I’d say.
“Wonderful!” came from the custo
mer. The barber smiled.
“I knew I could guess it ” he said.
When the customer left the shop
a few minutes later he was touched
on the arm by a man who has been
in the next chair. “Pardon me.” said
the other, “but how do you account
for that barber’s guess?”
“Oh, it was just a guess, and a bad
one at that.’ said the man accosted.
“Bad one?”
“Yes, I’m a Cheyenne saloonkeep
er.”
The other showed surprise. “But,”
he said, “you said ‘Wonderful’ when
ha called you a preacher.
“Well, *it is wonderful what a
chump a man can be when he tries.”
How She Would Save Juliet.
(Boston Herald.)
Mrs. Drinkwater, wife of the gen
ial colonel, spent some weeks last
summer in nothern Maine at the
comfortable farmhouse of an honest
widow, Mrs. Brand, who adds to her
income by keeping summer board
ers.
Recently Mrs. Brand made her first
visit to Boston, an while there met
Mrs. Drinkw'ater, who took her to
see Julia Marlowe in “Romeo and
Juliet.” Mrs. Brand had never be
fore been to a theatre. “Cairin meet-
in’ ” had been#her wi.dest dissipa
tion.
Mrs. Drinkwater’s interest was
equally divided betwen her com^n-
ion and the stage. When they left
the theatre Mrs. Brand was silent.
Her usual volubility had 'mite de
serted her. Mrs. Drinkwater respect
ed her silence and said nothing un
til they were well*on their homeward
way. At last she ventured to ask:
“How did you like it, Mrs. Brand?”
Mrs. Brand turned towards her,
and the tears started to her eves, as
she said: “Oh, Mrs. Drinkwater, I
couldn’t help thinking how differ
ent that play might have ended if
the nuss had be^n a different kind
of woman and had pointed Juliet to
Jesus.”
ANOTHER CORN METHOD.
The Plain of Cultivation Pursued by
a Camden Farmer.
(B. M. Hudson in Columbia State.)
1 have been requested by farmers
from different parts of the State to
give my method of working corn in
detail, and take this method of reply
ing to all. I would consider it a great
plqasure to be of some benefit to mv
fellow farmers, and don’t know of a
subject that would be of more inter
est to the public, There is no ques
tion but that the South would have
millions now that she does not pos-
sa-is, if every farmer would make his
own corn, of the South’s corn to run
the South.
First, break your land with a two-
horse plow. As this is impossible for
one-horse farmers, we will suppose
the land to be thus prepared: Run
off your rows five feet; bed out six
furrows to the row, with a six-inch
turn-plow. After the 20th of March,
if the ground is dry enough, if not,
as soon as possible, run a five or six-
inch shovel plow in water furrow; run
your planter or drop by hand, two
feet in the drill. You will get a bet
ter stand of corn planted shallow,
not over one inch deep for March
planting. Cover with a 16-incn board,
or run board behind planter to make
a widet space for the first plowing.
While corn is little, or as soon as you
finish planting cotton, which is about
the 2dth of April, run two furrows
with a turn-lplow, throwing the dirt
from the corn. Let stand a week and
run two more furrows, letting the
dirt roll to the corn from the bar
side, which will throw up a high mid
dle, and leave com low in water fur
row. My method is not to injure or
turn corn yellow, ti> “dwarf” stalk,
but keep it from gnfwing by keeping
dirt from it.

Columbus Policeman Being Tried For
Killing Kirksey.
Columbus, Ga., Feb. 14.—A. J. Buch
anan, until recently a patrolman on
the Columbus police force, has been
placed on trial in Muscogee superior
court, charged with murder, and all
day long the legal battle which is to
determine whether he shall live or die
has been waging.
A few weeks ago Buchanan shot to
death Morgan Kirksey, claiming that
the latter had been trying to ruin hb
home. Kirksey had been boarding
at his residence on North Highlands,
and Buchanan ordered him to leave
the residence and never return. He
returned there two or three days later,
and Buchanan, who was at home at
the time, shot him to death.
In the trial Buchanan was represent
ed by Attorney T. T. Miller, while
Attorney A. A. Carson has been as
sisting Solicitor Gilbert in the prose
cution. The state contended that the
killing of Kirksey was not warranted
by the circumstances.
The police force of the city raised
a fund and helped defray the expenses
rf the trial.
The evidence is all in In the Buchan
an case, and it will go to the jury.

bed. which will clean the row. Let it
stand about two weeks, or till the 1st
of June, and put in all fertilizer to be
used, except about 200 poudns cotton
seed meal or 100 pounds soda. Sow
fertilizer in side furrows, both sides
if you use) over 200 pounds per acre,
and throw two furrows to the row,
one on each side with a turn-plow.
Let stand a week and plow out mid
dles two more furrows, which will al
most dirt corn again.
Now comes the time when you
want it to grow, and it will, just as
soon as you work the dirt to it.
This leaves the land almost level,
with a little sink at the corn. Now
you should work every week, or 10
days at the least. Next chop holes
Sportsmen's Show Opens.
New York, Feb. 21.—The motor-

ship, but is not prepared to discuss
details until he hss had a personal
interview with Dr. Lasker, the world’s
champion, who though out west at the
present time, is now a resident of this
city.

Mr. Lever’s Dairy Bill.
(Charleston News and Courier.)
We called attention a few days
since to the efforts Representatives
Lever and Ellerbe were making to
further the agricultural interests of
South Carolina by having establish
ed in this State model farms where
diversification in crops 'would be
practiced and taught. We said then,
and repeat now, that our Congress
men could not be better employed
than in such endeavors. It is gratl
fying, therefore, to commend a bill
which was introduced in the House
on January 20 by Representative Le
ver, and referred to the committee
on agriculture. The bill is entitled
“a bill to further promote the dairy
industry of the United States,” and
its text is as follows:
“Be it enacted by the Senate and
House of Representatives of the Uni
ted States of America in Congress
assembled. That the sum of twenty
thousand dollars, or so much as may
be necessary, be, and the same is
hereby, appropriated, out of any money
in the treasury not otherwise appro
priated. to enable the Secretary of
Agriculture to further
dairy industry of the United States
and that the Secretary of Agricul
ture be authorized to extend this
sum. through the dairy division of
the department of agriculture, in po-

from a tomboyish schoolgirl into a
very beautiful young woman. His
father has also noticed it.
“Have ye noticed how old Joe Ma
son’s daughter’s s^ot up, John?” he
asked his son. “Seems to me she’s
getting quite a handsome critter!”
“Father,” said John enthusiastic
ally, “she is as beautiful as Hebe!”
“She’s a jolly sight purtier than he

an old barn door! It’s her mother
she gets her looks from!”
