A TILLMAN REMINISCENCE This anecdote of the late Senator Ben Tillman is so characteristic of the South Carolina statesman that it will bear retelling. Senator Foraker, of Ohio, had no lo\ e for Senator Tillman or for any other Southern Congressman for that matter. He was always intensely sectional?could see no good in the South or in a Southern man. So while Senator Tillman was speaking, Foraker arose and said in an insulting tone: "1 should like to ask, Mr. President, what is before the Senate?" "1 am before the Senate," fairly screamed Tillman. But Senator Foraker, undaunted by the ^rront laughter that followed Tillman's characteristic answer, insisted on knowing upon what particular subject the Senator was taking the floor. "No particular subject," replied Tillman in the same combative manner, "I am just making a row remarks on the general cussedness of the situation." Senator Foraker won the title of Fire-alarm Feraker, he was always alarmed at what the South was about to do. He introduced to an Ohio audience Blanch K. Bruce, the negro Register of the Treasury and spoke on the same platform with the negro official whii'Vi i? snffirion^ r?o??cr?nifi cation of the man who was the subject of Senator Tillman's caustic repartee. ALLEGED FRENCH REACTION George D. Ilerron has written numerous books about Germany as a peril to civilization and other conditions in Europe. He is a man who has studied the situation in the old world thoroughly and thoughtfully and his conclusions are certainly entitled to credit. In a recent article in Ford's Independent he makes that startling statement that the German peril has now passed to the French financiers and politicians. It is these who are seeking both overtly and covertly, by intrigue and by Wmi, to restore a medieval ami monarchical Europe; to subject the nations unto the will and the profit of the French concessionaire; and t<i dnstrnv thi> Inst vostii'n nf twin 'sty, the last hope of democracy, the last basis for co-operation and g?ood will among? men. And it is against these that every believer in democracy, every advocate of honor and faith between nations, every lover not only of humanity as a whole but of the French people as well, should today and at all cost take his stand. In times past France was noted for the I'ekle, vacillating? character of its people. The bloody revolution of 178t> is an outstanding? manifestatation of the character of the French nation at that period. It was hoped that the years that have passed since then would have brought the people to a better realization of national honor and patriotic government. These words of warning? from a iii?tri w no mis 11 <? i?ivi* Mir ivcrmany a man who has been favorable in his books and writings to France, are at least worth profound consideration. WILL BE BIG SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION Reports received from all state, it is said, point to a record breaking1 attendance at the State Sunday School Association Convention at Winthrop College, Rock Ilill, June 8, 9 and 10. j It is said that the program is the strongest and most attractive in the | hstory of the organization, and with the added attractiveness of Winthrop College as the place of meeting, the attendance is reported to go beyond all previous records. Especial attention is called to the fact that the special railroad rates of one and half fare for tne round trip are on the certificate plan, conditional upon 350 certificates being presented for signature at the convention; consequently everyone coming to the convention is urjfed to j;et his certificate when he buys his ticket as he cannot otherwise K**t the benefit of half fare returning. MICKIE, THE VRlNTEi old uoose m coovvs Ac?e ? o\)ta w HW Md OF NOUP- \ CtA-tlki | r__ _ ??;-./Z:"N, f ^ s HOW LONG? In two casual conversations between a low-countryman and two upcountrymen this week the latter introduced the subject of South Carolina Tax assessments. They are stirred up because of their inequalities. One told of a piece of property that he knew of in his city that has been returned for taxation for a number of years at less than $10,000. Recently a part has been sold for $90,000 and the balance is held to be worth $100,000. The man said, "What i>npot]rairpm.>nt is ehnt tn o man who wants to pay n fair share of the taxes?" The other said that a $35,000 loan was recently applied for on a piece of city property, which is held to be worth $100,000. When the tax books were referred to it was found that the assessment was for $2,000. It seems that some years ago the large property of which this piece was then a part, began to be cut up and sold. Each time a parcel was sold the price of it was deducted from the assessment on the tax books. That explanations is no justification,of course but it illustrates a custom that is said to be somewhat general all over the State. Until the archaic, unjust, unscientific system of taxation that we tolerate is rooted up and cast out of our constitution and statute law we will be crippled in all our private business ana in our government. North Carolina, with just such a problem as ours, has solved a large part of it. She is now starting on a period of development that makes us gasp. We are to be left behind in the development of our resources, both private and public, if we do not cure this fundamental difficulty. How long are we to sit simply in the face of this condition? Every citizen should determine whether he personally wants a change. If he does, he should tell the representatives in the legislature that he does. The legislature has before it a clear statement of a road to follow that will lead us out. It is the report of its own committee written by Senator Marion.?Nielj Christensen in the Beaufort Gazette.

H. Gibbcs, Chief Game Warden, of South Carolina, in April 1920, there is a failure to incorporate Act No. 386, of the Acts of 1978. which Act, in part, says: "There shall be a close time in all creeks, streams and inland waters of the state from the setting of the sun each Saturday until the rising of the sun each Wednesday, during which time all seines, nets of any plan or device f?r the stoppage or collecting of fish which obstructs any portion of any creek, stream or inland waters other than a dam for manufacturing purposes, shall he removed from said creeks, streams or inland waters; and any person or persons using such seine net plan or device in violation of the provisions of this Act shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction thereof before any court of competent jurisdiction, shall be fined in the sum of two hundred! dollars, one-half of which will go to1 the informer and other half to the court in which the case shall be tried, or be imprisoned for a period of not less thiin Ihrnn nni> ? ?? ..v/i ??IVI c Vliail MA | months, or both, in the discretion of the court trying the case. Nothing herein contained shall apply to fishing with dip nets used by hand. And wherever any seine, net or any device for. the stoppage or collecting fish, as above stated, shall be used, the Chief Game Warden or any Warden shall have the opportunity, in the name of the state, to seize and hold said seine, net or plan or device for the stoppage or collecting of fish, and to use the same as evidence for the purpose of convicting any person vi- J olating the provisions of this section; and upon conviction of the person so using said seine, net or plan or device for the stoppage or collecting of fish, the same shall be forfeited to the state and sold, the proceeds of said sale to be transmitted to the credit of the Game Protection Fund." Approved the 12th day of February, A. D. 1918."

Cohnty Agent Robertson in a recent report calls attention to the successful outcome of his latest shipment of hogs and the successful operation of an egg circle. In regard to his shipment of hogs he says that the day on which the hogs were loaded for shipment a local buyer was present and made a bid, which was not accepted. The^car was shipped and' netted the farmers who made ^ie shipment 114 cents per pound over the price offered by the local buyer. The county agent * concludes his report with this signiftcent remark: "In the future I do not expect to have any trouble in getting our livestock marketed co-operative ly." A dozen cars have been shipped co-operatively from Allendale county this spring, a fine record for a former all-cotton county. In connection with the home demo?dRA-ation agent of Allendale county Mr. Robertson reports also the organization of an egg circle at Barton. The first shipment was on May 5 when there were ninety dozen eggs brought in for shipment. These were candled by the agents and only a few were found unmarketable. The eggs netted 27 cents per dozen, though at that time eggs were selling in Allendale, the county seat, at 12 hi cents per dozen. The organization and operation of this egg circle is one of the good results of the Barton Community Club, and County Agent Robertson makes this statement in closing his report: "Our community clubs will soon demonstrate to the people that they are worth while." POOLING PRODUCTS A FEATURE OF COOPERATIVE MARKETING The pooling: of products sold through cooperative organizations is an important feature of cooperative marketing:, specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture * have found. By pooling is meant averaging the returns received for products sold during a certain period, or for certain shipments, so that each grower having products of the same grade receives the same price. The success of the pooling system depends upon the observance of uniform grading and packing the products. This method of operation, it ie said, protects the individual member from loss because of unfavorable market conditions of a temporary nature. Some fnrmors' marketing organizations, especially grain-elevator companies, purchase the members' products outright. Conditions and practices in grain marketing make such v a plan feasible, but organizations handling other products usually find it to their advantage to pool shipments and await returns before making payments to the growers. in this way the association is relieved of speculative risks, tho avoidance of which is highly desirable. Cooperative creameries, which operate to the members monthly, in accordance with the amount of butter fat each has delivered the preceding month, the returns received' for products sold less operating expense#, are good examples of pooling. The length of the pooling period varies with the products handled and the local conditions. Thus there are car lot, daily, weekly, semimonthly, monthly and seasonal pools. COTTON DOSTING IN 1921 Will it be profitable to dust cotton in 1921, and under what conditions will it be profitable? These are question now being asked of the entomology division by farmers of the state. In reply to such questions, Prof. A. F. Conradi, chief of the divison, states that since it has not yet been possible to conclude the exttnsive exDerimont.n in j? ' *" ' ... w.vuii uusviuK in una state no specific advice can be given in regard to dusting, but that farmers are referred to Cirucular 162 of the Office of the Secretary of Agriculture and to an article on the subject in the Department of Agriculture's Weekly News Lttr of May 4, 1921. The Government experiments have been sufficiently numerous on which to base an estimate, and these recommendations are the most authenic available at this time. The article in the Weekly News Letter says in part: "Because of the liscouraging decrease in the price of :otton, many growers bave accepted he conclusion that to dust with cal ium arsenate to combat the boll wee'il will not pay them this season. Contrary conclusions are reached txperta of the Department of Aicri'ulture, who have made exhaustive nveatigation at the Delta Laboraory, Tallulah, La. They declare that vherever land will produce one-half tale of cotton per acre without weei!, dusting will be profitable." Itata of Ohio, City of Toledo, L.ucaa County, m. Frank J.
