Messrs. Laney and Sellers voted for the bill, with Mr. Wannamaker opposing. With a little over half of Untaxes levied paid to date there is very ' little chance for the balance being 1 paid before next fnll and it leaves the schools in a serious condition. It is feared that the schools of the county will have to close March 1st, as nearly all of them are overdrawn now. The only way the schools can be kept from closing is by borrowing but the schools of the county have already borrowed $1)0,000.00, an old debt carried over, and it may be hard to float another loan. The General Assembly is making an honest effort to reduce the stat* tax levy, reducing the property tax and raising the necessary moneys tc run the state government by what is 1 known a? the painless method of extraction?indirect taxes. To date bills levying taxes on gaso- ' line and inheritances have been passed, anil the House of Ri?niv?snntu?iv*??? have also passed another tax bill in- ' crea.-ing fees to be paid by corpora- ' tions and levying a tax on out's income, with an exemption of $2,500 or more for married men. The House, has also passed what is known as the luxury tax, which v/as opposed by 1 ?oth Messrs. Wannamakcr and Sellers. These bills have yet to run The gauntlet of the Senate where there seems to be determined opposition. Th advocats of the new taxes claim their sole idea is to rcdu. e the land ami property tax, rais:ng the necessary ' money in the* new ways proposed. Hut no matter what the Legisla- ' ture does if we are to have schools ' and roads taxes will remain with us 1 always. Practically one-half of all the ' taxes goes'to schools. ... .. * ' i Vv n i i r. uan Rev. J. R. Milliard filled his regular appointment Sunday and was neard * by a large congregation.

Finest Fresh Meets The Beet Fancy Groceries High Grade Canned Goods The Beet o# Everything for the i SWEETENED POISONS The Carefully Studied Experiments Show No Real Mcrit Clems-Urn Colege, Feb. 10.?That so-called binders, stickers and spreaders have no material merit in making poison spray stiek to The cotton plant, hat no material advantage seems yet to have been secured by the use of sweetened poisons in carfully conducted experiments; and that calcium arnate in dust form after careful study f the conditions and requirments foi poisoning is advisable?these sum up die recomcndations of the entomologists, says I'rof. A. F. Conrndi, in a statement on the much discussed subect of sweetened poisons for boll .veevil control. Little baby "Poison Sweet" was born in Texas, says Prof. Conradi, shortly after the weevil crossed the Itio Grande in 1802. It could not :hrive there and had to wander eastward with the weevil, because only .he residents in a newly infested territory would entertain it. South Caroina is entertaining R now. Numerous formulas and recipes for miking sweetened poisons for boll .veevil control are being recommended and a number of commercial trands of sweetened and liquid pois>ns are appearing on the market. Equally numerous devices are put 'orward for applying these liquids > .d pastes. Catchy expressions. in onnection with some of these formulas include "sticker" and "secret finder," which convey the impression h..l these mysterious discoveries will auic the material to stick to the Want and remain good until eaten by he weevil. Whether the poison is apilied as a spray or a dust the rate of locomposition goes forward in the ante manner and as a weevil poison asts four days. Binders and spreaders are in use >y entomologists and serve a useful turpose under certain conditions in >inding the spray ingredients and gjvng body to the spray, but they have to material merit in making the spray tick to the plant, "file fundamental ondition that makes the spray or the towder stick to the plant is fineness, ...j ? 1- 1 1!..? 1 1 - ... |,le| iuu tile nuvijy ui v iucu .->1^1*4 y u i uusl ?roperiv applied has a most effective iticking power. I demonstrations to show the stickiio?s of a substance by pouring it fron? a sprinkling pot have no senibance whatever to a natural rainfall vhere the drops travel downwards lundreds of feet before they strike >lant. No material advantage has yet been tecured from the use of sweetened joison in careful conducted experinents throughout the last twenty-two fears, except aparently in one intance when applied the very young fiants in hot, dry weather, which by tseir would have little signicance In his experfiment the weather was tguinst the weevil, and as no evidence las been secured so far that the weev1 is attracted by any sweet, it may be assumed that the weevil was attracted by theVlroplets of moisture. Our recomcndations, are based altogether on the results secured from I :arefully conducted experiments regardless of who made them, provided it was a qualified experimentor who made provisions for determining by hecks the value of the various factors that entered into the problem, ireful Study of Situation Advi#od In our recent office letter, "Boll Weevil Poisoning in 1922," we set forth as accurately as we could the -ouditio r under which poisoning may >e expect* (i to pay We confine ourselves to the use of calcium arsenate n 'lust form, on account of the availible records of positive results and ?lso on account of the comparative economy in time and labor. We recinimend that every farmer who inends to use poison obtain inimedi itely full information in regard to he use of poison, as well as dusting naehines, and study the problem with he greatest earo and effort. A careul study of the method and condiioas under which poisoning may be xperted 11> yield profitable results (institutes the first step in a poisonng program. Anyone not willing to io this we are sure, makes a mistake o invest money in poisons or mahine. Manufacturers are now study ng the probable output for 19*22, ind those desiring to learn something [bout the matter should not wait unit the last moment to purchase a mahine, because they may upset the intire poisoning problem. A definite chedule for poisoning will be issued n ample time before the poisoning eason begins, and those interested hould send their names to the Ex ension Entomologist, Clemson Colege, to be put on the mailing list for his purpose.

The district attorney, following the investigation made by the police and the sheriffs otiiee has folowed every clue to the end and with his probe all but completed, he said that there was nothing on which any definite hope could be based furnishing a possiole solution.

He has followed mysterious tips and leads that have ended .n oiinu alleys. lie has even made' secret flaps to uuestion tw<? producers and directors, involved *n ..he case only by gossip.
