SHER/ CANDIDATE Prominent Green1 Presents His Clai crats Of The Knowing the history of our people and appreciating the fact that from the earliest Colonial days our State has been a leader in all things that have served to make this nation the great World Power that it is today, and being proud of the fact that a just pride of origin has animated our people, that high ideals and ambi tions have controlled their actions, and that for pure Americanism, none rank higher today, Sam Sherard is a candidate for the Democratic nom ination to Congress from the Third District, and he respectfully solicits the suffrage of the voters in the Democratic Primary next Tuesday. He is a farmer at Ninety Six. Thir ty six years old. A graduate in agri culture from Clemson College in 1908. Five years with the U. S. De partment of Agriculture in the Phil ippines, China, Japan, India, Egypt, England, Europe and the Holy Land. Farm Demonstrator for five years in this country. Investigated Industrial and Agricultural Legislation in Eu efroeo /\n Pnrol lupc wini yaiuuuiai on vu Credit. Societies, Long and Short Time Loans for Farmers, and Coop erative Marketing Associations. Is proud of the fact that he helped make it possible to organize the Cot ton Cooperative Marketing Associa tion in South Carolina, and believes in developing a system of marketing for all farm products. Knowing that South Carolina is an agricultural state, and that eighty per cent of our people are dependent upon agriculture and the manufac ture of cotton for a livelihood, Sam Sherard has prepared himself to represent the Third District and he has experience and training that pe culiarly fits him to help our State in Congress at this time. Agriculture, today is going thru a process of readjustment and revo * * -v * x_fi_ a _ l lution mat entans Demuc lusaea w the owners and operators of farms. A great many of our people do not seem to realize the plight of the pro ducer. Thousands of farm workers are leaving the fields. They are dis couraged, and unless something i9 done to rehabilitate agriculture, un less the producer gets sympathetic consideration and encouragement, our great basic industry will dwindle and starve, and with its downfall, all other industry and business will perish! Anything we can do to neip agriculture at this time, will help all other business, and for this reason Sam Sherard believes that we should have lower freight rates on farm produce that we of necessity will have to sell to replace cotton. We cannot produce and sell at a reason able profit crops from a diversified system of agriculture and pay the freight rates on them that are being charged today. He is opposed to any protective tariff, but believes that ~ i 1- - i the Soutn neeas marKeis xur nei ?nu ducts. He endorses the work of the agri cultural bloc in the senate, and will endeavor to create a similar organi zation in the lower house of congress for the benefit of agriculture. He endorses the work of the War Fin ance Corporation, but knowing as he does that it is only temporary legis lation passed as a war measure, and j re-created through the efforts of the agricultural bloc in the senate as 1? relief measure in the present cri sis, Sam Sherard will work for a per manent system of short time loans for farmers that will be good for all time to come. He studied this system in France. He believes in enlarging the Federal Land Banks, and in mak jing them function without so much red tape as at the present time. Our local banks are not in position to loan money over long periods of time for the purchase and improvement of farms, but our Federal govern ment can properly do this, and by so doing:, put the local banks in bet ter position to take care of other business. He believes that industry .com merce and agriculture should have sympathetic representation on the Federal Reserve Board. The Federal Reserve System was created to pre vent panics, but after such a break lRD, FOR CONGRESS" wood County Man [ m To The Demo- a tl :. j n i nira icl down as we have experienced, it is certainly reasonable to ask for changes in order that the producer in his day of need may have credit in the same rate as other business. We know that our home banks have sweated blood during the past two years trying to make arrangements in order that our people would not be closed out, and if the Federal Re serve Board, knowing as they did of the approaching depression, had shown the same consideration and had been as considerate in calling their loans as the local bankers were, our State would be in a better con dition today. He believes that farm paper should be permitted to come into the Federal Reserve System whenever and wherever it bears the endorsement of a member bank, even though it also bears the endorse ment of a non-member bank. He also believes that the Federal Resei've Board should have larger discretion ary powers in the extension of credit and is convinced that the products of the farmer in the warehouse, in elevator or other protected storage, or in evidence upon the farm should |?l be more generously recognized and considered. Having had five years experience fighting the boll weevil, and know ing that calcium arsenate is the only effective poison against this pest, Sam Sherard believes that this poison should be sold at cost to our farm ers by the government, and he wil work to have it done. He will support federal aid for good roads, public health, vocation al training in our high schools, and in draining swamp lands. He also uciioca knai< luc uism; itiiu me feu era! government should cooperate in eradicating tuberculosis from our people. He will strive to prevent future wars and -the hatreds which cause them. He believes in peace and in the reduction of armament by inter national agreement, in some lasting organization among nations where international questions can be sat isfactorily worked out. The Volstead Act is the law of the land, and he believes that it should be rigidly enforced, and he will not I WAf o f A Y?n Orlin cf 1 J r*V>+ rcrivtn * vut wu i\,aujuo(i 115111 *> IIIC3 ui ucci, v or to weaken this legislation in any way whatsoever. He believes in the protection of women and children in industry, and will heartily support J adequate appropriations for the e Woman's Bureau of the department g of labor. J He endorses the Smith-Lever Act ^ providing funds for the cooperative demonstration work among the far- ? mers, and the home demonstration s work among the women. He believes v, in Federal Aid in the removal of il- n literacy uuui among our aauits anu children. He will insist that any Fed eral Aid for schools in South Caro lina be ABSOLUTELY under the control of the educational authori ties in South Carolina, and that the policy with reference to text books, etc., be dictated and carried out by our own people, through the office of the State Superintendent of Edu cation. He is opposed to the unrestricted immigration of foreigners, and will insist that those who are allowed to enter and enjoy the benefits of our government must speak the English ^ language and be Americanized, and ^ that they must prove themselves x worthy before being allowed to vote or own property. ,y He endorses adjusted compensa- ,j tion for ex-service men, and will r strive to eliminate the red tape in s the veterans bureau and make it j. function so a.' to promptly handle' all worthy claims from disbaled vet- j erans and their dependents. a Sam Sherard represented Green wood County in the House of Repre- t scntatives. Was a member of the v Ways and Means committee, and he j is endorsed for congress by the j { Greenwood County Democratic Con vention. He has training and expe- t rience that few men have, and he v believes that he can be of service to p the people of the Third District at J lNDERSON wins pennant in CAROLINA LEAGUI Vhen She Defeated Abbeville in Fa?
