Delinquent
T ax Payers.
As will be seen from an adver- '
tisement of Chas. P. Green, Couu- '
ty Attorney in another column,;
delinquent tax payers are re
minded they haviB only natll
April 1st to refinance their taxe?
with the County. After this time
the County proposed to proceed
to close up all delinquent tax ac
counts not otherwise taken carej
of. Of course in the institution
of these tax suits and closing
them there Is a certain amount 1
of cost that the County will pass '
along to the tax payer or to the
purchaser of the property. It is 1
to save this expense that all de- 1
linquent tax payers are urged to
make arrangements to take care
of their taxes by or before April'1
1st. There are several methods '
one can use to take care of this
situation. The most convenient
and practical Is with the County
or the Federal Land Bank. Those
in arrears sufficiently long to en
danger suits should see the Coun
ty Attorney at once and take
some Immediate action towards
taking care of these account? In <
order to save unnecessary addi-j
tional costs. ,

Jeff Davis Data
In New Campaign
An interesting and little known
tact about the early career of
Jefferson Davis Is featured in a
Dew Chilean Nitrate announce
ment, one of a unique series con
cerning this natural product ap
pearing in this newspaper. The
fact la used to emphasize the
long period through which Chil
ean Natural Nitrate has been used
to fertilize Southern crops.
In 1830 when Chilean Nitrate
was first used in the South, the
man who waB to become presi
dent of the Confederacy, was a
young army officer patrolling "the
north-western frontier" as the
district comprising Wisconsin. Il
linois, Iowa and Minnesota was
known in those days.
A few years later Jefferson was
a wealthy cotton planter. Hiu
plantations were in Warren Coun
ty, Mlsa. It was while he was
thus engaged that he developed
his interest In politics which took
him so far in national affair*.
The first public office for which
he was a candidate was that of
State Representative in the Mis
sissippi house. Jefferson's import
ance as a cotton planter and the
sizeable fortune which he built
during this period of bis life,
leads to the belief that he may
have been one of the early users
of Chilean Nitfate on his yearly
crops.
Jefferson Davis took seat In
Congress December 8, 1846 ? fif
teen years after Chilean Natural
Nitrate's Introduction In the
South. When he rose to deliver
his first speech on the Oregon
boundary Issue ? John Quincy
Adams drew near him, for it was
Adam's habit to listen larefullyl
to the first speech of a new mnm-j
ber, apparently to discover It It
were worth while for him to pay
attention the next time the speak
er had the floor. At the close of
the speech Adams crossed over to I
some friends and said, "That
young man, gentlemen, Is no or
dinary man. He will make his
mark yet, mind me."
In ea?h of the many advertise
ments in this series, all of which
are appearing in this paper, In
teresting historical facts about
heroes of the South are an Im
portant feature.
How reasonable we are when
we are judging ourselves, and
how we give ourselves the beaeAt
if every doubt!
A happy medium lies midway
between an Inferiority complex
to d the "swell-head."
What we seem to need now Is
soma legislation governing tbe
use of wooden -pistols.

Importance Of
Daily Attendance
In an address before the Pa-j
rent-Teachers Association of Mills
high school on Thursday aftet
noon of last week. Miss Louise,
Joyner. a member ot the faculty,
paid particular strees on the Im
portance of daily attendance,!
and gave some convincing figures
and examples, which naturally re-j
vived the Interest of all the
friends of the school and all those':
interested In the welfare of the 1
children. Figures quoted by the'
speaker slewed' that absences In-'
creased from 788 in September
to 190S in January and dropping
back to 1690 la February. .Of
course bad weatKer and slcknes*
was responsible for a portion of
this, bat it was her opinion that
indifference on the part of par
ents was responsible for a larye
per centage of the absences. This
not only hinders the child in its
educational progress but will
have serious effect upon the ca
pacity and efficiency of the school
in the fact that the allottment of
teachers for another year Is mid*
upon the basis of the attendance
of the former year. In this ease
it means fewer teachers and less
personal attention to the child
ren. A most impressive, but real,
contrast was drawn by the speak
er, in the following: "I think
Just now of a bright, attractive
bay of 16 years .in the 6th grade,
another of 18 in the same grade,
another of 17 In the fourth grado.
Each of these boys is capable of
learning, capable of keeping up
with his class year by year. Each
should be in high school, at least.
Vet, on account of very Irregu
lar attendance, each one finds
himself amongst youngsters wb<;
seem mere babies In contrast to
his own age and site. How much
finer cltlxens these boys would j
prove to be. what an addition to
their community, ^f they wetre
equipped with a high school edu
cation. i
Such case* are not extreme.
There are numbers just as pa
thetic-due solely to poor attend
ance and parental Indifference.
On the other hand. There Is
the family hire In our school in
which the four children, ranging
from primary to high 'school
grade age, have never missed a
single day. They are splendid,
all-round children, thoroughly
Interested In school and in school
work. And their parents stamf
right back of them In every
worthwhile way. They have nev
er missed a day and they have
never failed to make the grade.
Not only do they pass regularly
each year, but also, they make a
high record in scholarship.
The address was considered
extremely timely and should have
been heard by all parents in the
County as well as the district.
The Babylonian king Hammur
abi decreed the penalty of deatn
for a builder who constructed a
house so badly that It fell and:
killed the owner.
Many men who attend the races
can't win even a little sympathy.

New Cooperative
Formed In State
Raleigh, March 20. ? The
Farmers Cooperative Exchange,
a State-wide cooperative organi
zation which was incorporated
here this week with an author
ized capital stock of half a mil
lion dollars, will be in active op
eration by May 1, according to
M. G. Mann, general manager.
The new organization will take
over the functions of the three
purchasing organizations that
been operating in the State ? the
Cotton Growers Supply Company,
of Raleigh, the Producers Mutual
Exchange, of Durham, and the
Southern States Cooperative.
The Initial working capital
will be furnished by these three
organizations and it is expected
that additional capital will be
secured through the Farm Credit
Administration's Bank for Coop
eratives at Columbia, S. C.
The new cooperative, the ser
vices of which will be available
to every one of the State's more
than 275,000 farmers, will serve
as a cooperative purchasing me
dium for feeds, seeds and ferti
lizers and other farm supplies
and equipment, and will also
provide a cooperative marketing
outlet for poultry, eggs, and live
stock and for crops not now hand
led by commodity cooperatives.
Under the plan local distribut
ing points will be set up all over
the State ? probably one or more
to a county ? and the organiza
tion will operate on a cost basis
with patronage dividends beicg
paid back to members.
Although comparatively new
in the South, the idea of coopera
tive purchasing has been success
fully practiced by Northern and
Western farmers for some tima.
The Farmers Cooperative Ex
change is patterned after '.he
Grange League Federation of
New York State which has been
in successful operation for 10
years and which does an annual
business of more than $30,000,
000.
Leaders of farm hfe In the
State have unanimously endorsed
the cooperative, pointing out that
it will eliminate competition,: pas3
on to farmers the benefits of
large scale buying &Bd tie to
gether more closely the various
agencies dealing with farm bet
terment.
W. W. Eagles, of Macclesfield,
is president, and Dudley Bagloy,
of Moyock, vice-president of the
cooperative. E. S. Vana^ta. of
University Station, la jecretary
treasurer, and B. W. Halgh, of
