Llewellyn Resigns | Civil Works Bolyj Stanley Llewellyn, Camden, has re signed as chaiiman of the South Car olina civil works commission and Ben Hill Brown, Mayor of Spartanburg, has been apipointed by Governor Blackwood chairman in his stead. R. M.

The volume of that work had grown to such an ex tent that he did not feel that he could do it justice and at the same time at tend to his own business in Camden and so he felt compelled to send his resignation, which the governor ac cepted with regrets, appreciating the work he had done and the many hourt ?f time he ahd given to it. ?

We are extremely anxious that this "Shower" will be a success because we so badly need the donations.

We hope you will all come and en joy a social hour with us. Yours respectfully, THE CAMDEN CHILDREN'S HOME. PORK BUYING SUPPLEMENTS CORN-HOG PROGRAM To remove burdensome surpluses which .still depress the hog market and to aid needy families, a maximum of approximately 300, 000, 000 pounds of cured hog products, the equivalent of about 3,000,000 live hogs, is to be purchased through bids during the next seven or eight months unde. -plans being jointly formulated by the Agricultural Adjustment Administra tion and the Federal Emergency Re lief Administration. Bids on the first purchases, amounting to about 75, 000,000 pounds of product for deliv ery in January, will be opened No vember 17. Subsequent bids for hog products to be distributed through noncompetitive trade channels, will be received and opened on the first day of e'ach following month u'p to June 1, 193-1. Specifications stipulate that hop products must be processed from live hogs of average good final ity and weigh between 100 and 215 pounds. This is expected to encour age marketing of light hogs, further reducing the tonnage of hogs mark eted through next year. The program of buying products from about 3,00(., 000 live hogs supplements the corn and hog adjustment plan for 1034 from which participating farmer? will receive $350,000,000 in benefit payments. Funds to purchase the hop products are to he den /ad from the relief appropriation made in th? Federal F.mergency Rei'of Act. and from a portion of th ? proceed* of the processing tax on liv<s ho^'s under the Agricultural Adjustment Act. HENRY I). GREEN, Cty Agt.

Farmers Advised To Pay Farm Loan Debtj Recently I have heard considerable comment to the effect that it was j Ibeing rumored around the county that I the seed loan and crop production j loans would not be in operation next j season and that many farmers there- 1 fore were hesitating to make full | payment of their seed loans and crop \ production accounts because they felt that these agtncies would not operate and therefore they would not be held accountable next year for unpaid bal ances. This notice therefore* is to state frankly that I have received no word, either official or unofficial, indicating that the seed loans or crop produc tion loans would be discontinued. The-efo:!?, I can not say whetner these loans will be made or not. I io know that they have been made for he past 4 years and that each year i a farmer application is based to a considerable extent on his past record if he has borrowed previously. I feel that it is to the interest of all cur farmers to pay these accounts as soon as possible. In the event t4ie loans are made again next season it will be to a farmer's interest to have h i - account in good shape. On the- other hand, if the seed loans and crop pro duction loans should happen to be discontinued, it is only reasonable to expect that the records that the far mers make with these loans this yiar will be used as a basis for making loans through any new institution which of course would be a govern ment institution just as the seed loan., and crop production loans are gov ernment institutions, and a farmer who leaves a poor record with th-.1 seed loan will have that as a basis for committees Wo pass on his appli cation for any new type of loan nex. season. Hundreds of our farmers have been unable to secure financing any place other than thrwugh the government land they have received this money ait a tiheap Fate of interest and on a favorable basis. Therefore I recom mend and urge that each borrower ' do his best to pay his account in fuii. 1 1 shall of course Continue to do every thing possible to help secure farm crop financing for next year, but please bear in mind that we have re- 1 ceived no indication at all as to a change in the seed loan or crop pro duction loan operations.
