the Law and Order organization r=n
recently effected in Broad River [~
township, with Mr. R. L. A.
Smith as president. Members
of the organization took means L
to find out about the still and r
the men who were running it,
and last Tuesday afternoon Mr.
Smith, accompanied by Constables
H. L. Johnson and H. F. f=
Stephenson went in for a cleanup
with warran.ts. They found
and broke up the still without
difficulty and then went after
and arrested the men who had ,
been s{?ottcd as operators. They
were John and Lonnie Edwards
and Burris Brakefield, all white.
Both of the Edwards's confessed,
so it is said, but Brakefield
will admit nothing. All
three men were turned loose on
bond. i h
Crop Estimate 10,986,000 Bales, i
A cotton crop of about 1,000,000
bales smaller than that of r
last year, was the forecast for
this year by the department of
agriculture Tuesday in estimating
prospective production at fTl
10 980000 bales.
Acreage redaction this year
shows a cut of 8.7 per cent from
last year's, the decrease being
3,247,000 acres, the total being
36,960,000. The agitation for a
reduction in acreage which the
department of agriculture says [=
occurred in every cotton growing
State, the scarcity and high
price of labor and unfavorable
planting weather caused the de- L
crease.
The propaganda for reduction
: of acreage affected principally
' the larger growers, according to
the department, but most of the r
smaller proprietors and tenant
farmers maintained or even increased
their plantings this yea.*.
Many other farmers who had !=
not grown cotton for years planted
it this year, hoping to receive
uie high. prices prevailing at j|
plantiiiK time. Hi
Most sections report the crop
iate and a scarcity of lahor. The
hull weevil is reported very active
in a large portion of the belt.

YOUR BONDS, AND DON'T RUN THE RISK OF t
LOSING TEEM OR HAVING THEM STOLEN. |
J
Liberty and Victory Bonds are the best investment in the
world (we loan money on thim at six per cent) and we
urge everyone to keep them. ^
But don't keep thim at home. Bring your bonds to us
and let us take care of them and collect the interest for you.
We issue a certificate of deposit for bonds just as we do
for money, the certificates bearing the same rate of interest
as the bonds do. ?
We credit you with the interest the day it falls due, with- x
out you having to remember the different interest dates of
the several issues, and taking the trouble to clip the cou- +
pons and bring them to the bank to be cashed. X
If you must sell bonds?we will always pay the full mar- f
ket prices. ?
