HERO COMMISSION AWARDS ARE MADE Throe South Carolinians Are Among the Beneficiaries?Medal and $1,000 Each Three South Carolinians, Miss Sophia E. Thomas of Newry and Leo Hamilton and A. M. Chapman of Chappells, receive a bronze medal and $1,000 each under the latest annual award of the Carnegie hero fund commission, Pittsburgh. The exploit on which the awards are made to the South Carolinians are described, as follows, in the report of the commission, copies of which have been received in Columbia: "Leo Hamilton, aged 50, merchant, helped to save George Kneece, aged 35. laborer, from drowning, Chappells, S. C., March 1(5, 1912. Kneece and three other men attempted to cross the flood waters of the Saluda river and their boat was upset. Kneece grabbed a limb of a tree and clung to it in the main current of the stream. A man who rescued two of Kneece *s companions said it would be impossible to reach Kneece. Hamilton and a companion set out in a flat bottomed boat, which leaked; and Hamilton, using a paddle, got the boat to a tree above Kneece, close to the edge of the swift current. His companion undressed there, and the water was bailed out from the boat Hamilton then paddled vigorously against the current and drifted to a position beside Kneece. He and his companion held the boat by grasping branches and vines and Kneece grasped the gunwhale and rolled over the side. The bow dipped, and considerable water was shipped, but the bottom of the boat struck a limb and was prevented from sinking farther. Hamilton paddh strcnously and reached quiet \ or and then the bank at a point 500 foot downstream from where he had gotten Kneece. "Andrew M. Chapman, aged 35, farmer and saw mill manager, helped to ave George Kneece from drown nig, t nappells, S. c., March 1(5, 1912. Chapman accompanied Hamilton and helped in the rescue. "Sophia E. Thomas, aged 17, weaver, rescued Eva Gregory, aged 13, from a rabid dog. Newry, S. C., June IS. 1912. Miss Gregory spoke to a passing dog. and as she stooped to get a pebble to throw into a stream, the dog sprang at her and fastened its teeth in her jaw. Miss Thomas, one of three other girls present, grabbed the dog's throat with both hands and pulled it away from Miss Gregory. M iss Thomas fell with the dog and retained her hold on it. although it bit her arm three times. Iler sister helped her to hold it on the ground until a man arrived with a stone and told her to release the dog. It was shot a moment later and on examination was found to have htten afflicted with rabies. Miss ThP "s and Miss Gregory were, given Pa?Pw,\j treatment and recovered from thdrr wounds.?The State. Directions for Cultivating and Canning Pimentos The following instructions concerning the Pimento are ?riven t>v Mrs Dora Doe Walker, Assistant State Agent Home Demonstration Work. Mrs. Walker has made a special study of this vegetable, having grown it successfully on her farm at Appleton. S. (\, for many years. She has furnished seed and instructions to people all over the South, and has charge of several pimento farms this year. Mrs. Walker read a paper on pimentos at the recent meeting of Home Demonstration Agents at Winthrop College and at that time ana since, many requests have come for an article on that subject. Plant seed in hot bed in rows two inches apart, placing seed one inch apart in rows. When plants are six inches high transplant to plat. Plat should be in a thoroughly pulverized condition, having been broadcast with lime before being subsoiled. Lay off rows 2 1-2 feet wide, use K-l-4 fertilizer at the rate of 1,000 pounds per acre. Check with rows 2 1-2 feet aparx and plant must be set in the cheek. Cultivate frequently. When plants are 12 inches high apply Nitrate of Soda at the rate of one teaspoonful to the plant. They respond readily to this treatment. Keep free of weeds and grass. In July your efforts are awarded with an abundance of lucious pimentos. Sell a.- many as possible in the market. Then comes the canning season. (lather peppers early in the morn ing while crisp with dew. Rub all dust off with a towel, being careful not to bruise them. Cut around stem with a sharp paring knife, withdraw seed bur with stem, and cut away the walls of partitions on the inside. You now have the beautiful reo hollow pods which you place side by side (never overlap) in a biscuit pan. Introduce this into a very hot stove oven. In ten minutes these pods will blister. Remove from stove and peel immediately. Rack these leathery pulps into No. 1 cans, four pimentos to each can being the commerial pack. Cap - exhaust 2. minutes. Tin boil 20 minutes. Boiling extracts their natural juices. Never use olive oil with them because with age it becomes rancid The natural oily juices extracted by boiling in the cans is far better than the introduction of olive oil into the can. Likewise they may be canned in half pint glass jars-Winthrop Weekly News.

New York city has just completed the revaluation of her assessable properties and liv-d the tax rate, or rather, the tax rates, as there is a different rate in each borough. The thing that strikes attention is the si:? of the taxable basis. It aggregates for this year $X, 1 OH,764,237 in rc'ii estate valuations alone. In the Manhattan borough the tax rate for this year is $1.87, in Brooklyn $1.92 in the Bronx $1.94, in CJueens $1.95, and ir Richmond $2.24. Ww York will collect over $160,000,000 from real estate taxes this year, not to mentior the receipts from franchise privileg< < and other sources, and will have , use for all the money paid Into th< municipal treasury. To pay the i < terest on her bonded debt alone v.il call for about $30,000,000. New York is, beyond a reasonaMv doubt, the richest city in the world It is difficult to draw comparisons be tween New York and London in mat ter of finance, because real estate val uations seem to be on a different th or ry of estimates in the two cities wnitaKor's almanac gives the rate al>le valuation of real estate in Grca er London under the l'.?ll assessmenl as $508,390,910.
