A Tax Payer’s Song It is probable that many county treasurers in South Carolina (Har ry Wessinger among ’em) have re ceived letters similar to this one that follows, said to have been written to a tax collector in a South Georgia county: “I beg to inform you that the present shattered condition of my bank account makes it impossible for me to send you a check in res ponse to your tax notice. The state of my present financial condition is due to the effect of federal laws, corporation laws, by-laws, brother- in-laws. mother-in-laws and out laws. Through these various laws, I have been held-up, walked-on, sat on, sand-bagged, battered and squeezed until I do not know where I am, or why I am. These laws compel me to pay a merchant tax, capital stock tax, excess profit tax, income tax, state auto tax, road tax, amusement tax, gas tax, city auto tax, light tax, cigar tax, road tax, cigar tax, cigarette tax, school tax, street tax, surtax, syntax and carpet tax. In additioq. to paying these taxes, I am requested and required to contribute to every society and organization that the inventive mind of mankind can or ganize. To the society of John the Baptist, the Woman’s relief, the Navy League, the Children’s Home Fund, the Policeman’s Benefit, the Dorcass Society, the Y. M. C. A., the Y. W. C. A., the Boy Scouts, the Jewish Relief, the Belgian Relief, the Near East Relief, and the Gold Differers Home. Also to every char itable institution in town, such as the Red Cross, the Black Cross and the Double Cross. “The government has so govern ed my business that I do not know who owns it. I am suspected, in spected. disrespected, examined, informed, required, commanded, expelled, and compelled until all I know is that I am supposed to provide an inexhaustible supply of money for every known need, de sire or hope of the human race and because I refuse to donate all I have and go out and beg. borrow, and steal more money to give away. I am cussed, discussed, boy cotted. talked to, talked about, lied to, lied about, help up, held down knocked down and robbed until I William Howard Taft, chief justice of the Supreme court, President of the United States, secretary of war, rode to his grave in Arlington ceme tery on a gun carriage, the first Unit ed States President to be buried there.

B. McCrorey and his classes in vocational agricul ture on Friday night in the agri cultural class room of the McCor mick high school. Prof. McCrorey acted as toastmaster and outlined what the Future Palmetto Farmers are striving to accomplish in ag riculture in South Carolina. The objectives of this national young- farmers’ organization were given as well as the advantages of it. Archie Langley, president of the local chapter of the F. P. F. wel comed the fathers and showed the relation that should exist between the father and son on the farm. Several short talks were made bv W. K. Charles, T. W. Morgan, W. E. Lake, Jr., and W. M. Strom. These short talks were both in teresting and instructive. This enjoyable affair was - well attended by the citizens of McCor mick and surrounding communi ties. X Marglobe Tomatoes Many tomato growers in south ern sections where the nailhead rust disease formerly made the crop unsalable now raise tomatoes profitably by growing the Marglobe variety, which is resistant to nail- head rust and other diseases such as Fusarium wilt, Septoria leaf- spot, early blight, and leaf mold. Its resistance to disease is not its only good quality, however. It is an early and continuous bearer; its fruits mature quickly but ripen slowly and withstand delays in picking, shipping, and storing; and it produces heavy yields of ex cellent fruit. It is now widely planted throughout the leading to mato growing sections of the coun try. Before burial the body of the late chief justice lay in state for three hours in the Capitol, on a catafalque upon which had lain the coffins of Presidents Lincoln, Garfield, McKin ley and Harding. Now Lincoln stands out in that, or any list. How soon men become un important and are forgottten! Lincoln never.

(©, 1030, b> King Featutes Syndicate, Inc.) nouncement by the Chevrolet Mo tor Company today that Winter sales of used cars by the nation wide Chevrolet dealer organization are exceeding by more than twen ty-five per cent the best previous winter record. Despite the ^treinely cold and stormy weather in the northern states in January and adverse weather conditions in some other sections, sales of used cars by Chevrolet dealers during the month totaled 60,000 cars as com pared with the January record of 48,000 etsabiished last year. 4. quickening of general business and unusually mild weather in February assured a new record for that month even though final figures for the last ten days of the month are not yet avilable. Re ports from dealers for the first twenty days of February show an increase of 54.4 per cent over the corresponding period of February last year. During the first twent; days of February 1930, the Chevro let dealer organization sold 58,922 used cars, nearly equalling in 2C days the record month of January The stature of the February ach ievement may be further appreci ated by a comparison of this fig ure with 38,176 used cars sold dur ing the corresponding period of February last year. In commenting on the achieve ment, officials pointed out that i! was made possible through the public confidence that has been built up by Chevrolet dealers through the general policy of of fering for sale only clependable merchandise. They explain that through the widespread use of the red tag “with an O. K. that counts,” prospective used car buy ers are assured that every vita’ part of the car has been properly reconditioned and put in shape to offer thousands of miles of unused transportation.
