Community Fairs
Kv?,y main community in Kershaw

any other way.
Community fairs develop a deeper
apirit of cooperation, teach neighbors
to be neighborly, shows the weak
places and strong places, develops
team work, are mediums of interchange
of ideas and products, develop*
friendly rivalry,
Kershaw County should have ten or
fifteen fairs this year. It had several
last year which wore very successful.
Already several communities are
working on fairs for this fill.
The home and county agents will
gladly assist any community in Kershaw
County to put on a fair.
-Community fairs help the county
fair a lot. So many people "hold
back" from cooperating with the
county fnir but these same people
will work hard for their community
fair. Then they get the "fair spirit"
and help with the county and possibly
the state fairs.
Hundreds of people 8ay, "I haven't
anything suitable for entering in a
fair. These folks just haven't looked
about them. Almost any farm has
corn, poultry and eggs, pigs and
hogs, cows and calves, vegetables,

4-H Club boys and girls are going
to help Kershaw County have the

Let's all of us pull together, encourage
our neighbors, bring the best
we have and then enjoy seeing the
fine exhibits produced in Kershaw
County. It will help drivo away the
gloom of depression?for we have
lots and lots to be thankful for. There
is more corn, oats, vegetables, potatoes
and hogs in the county than probably
ever before. Our people are
beginning to feed themselves from
their own farms. Let's show some of
these things at our fairs, requests

Miserly Youths
No Longer Example
. Washington, July 3.?The little boy
who puts all. his pennies in his metal
bank no, longer is Tanked by the
United States Children's bureau as
the shining financial example for
childhood.
In his stead, the Bureau today set
up the ideal as an American child
who spends wisely, saves wisely and
gives wisely..
'^Children should not be taught to"
be little misers," the chili experts
admonished in a special study, "The
Child and His Money."
"A savingfe bank into which pennies
disappear never to be used has relatively
little training value."
The Bureau advocated that children
be encouraged to spend money as
c' lzzrrA-~ anA vn,np It
suggested a (budget plan of putting
small change into bright-colored envelopes?''Red
envelopes for saving
money, blue for 0 spending money,
green for giving away money, and so
on."
Following is some of the training
suggestions: Give the child a regular
fixed allowance; teach him not to
beg and tease for additional money.
Let him learn by experience that
denial must follow extravagance.
Don't "tip" the child for rendering
small services to lys elders or
for being "good" or polite.
Teach the child the value of saving
for a definite purpose instead of
for the mere sake of saving. Let
him learn the folly of spending all
his money at once and of going into
debt to buy something bp wants.
' Teach him that saving things that
cost money is as important as saving
money.
This year for the first time there
are more aliens leaving the United
States than are coming in. The net
loss for the first five months of the
year was 25,000, according to the office
of the secretary of labor. Should
this continue the loss for the year
wll^be 60,000. Mexicans are said to
be leaving the country at the raibe of
more than 1,000 per month now and
it Is estimated that 60,000 have gone
back to Mexico since the beginning
of the business depression.

Drive Against
Unlicensed Firms
Unlicensed insurance companies are
soliciting insurance in South Carolina
through unlicensed agents and
by weans of at least one radio station,
Sam B. King, state insurance
commissioner, announced yesterday in
revealing that he had sworn out warrants
for several "so-called" agents
who have solicited business in South
Carolina without a license.
1* a statement designed to direct
attention to insurance regulations and
to protections the laws of the state
throw about the policy-holder, Mr
King said that the unlicensed companies
not only acted without the law
but also did not contribute in turfes
to the stute's finances.
While what he considers instances
of fraud on the part of men claiming
to be agents have come to his attention,
he made no charge that unlicensed
companies were acting fraudulently.
He notified radio station WIS, Columbia,
that it^jmust stop broadcast
for an unlicensed insurance company
and suggested to the station that it
I determine before signing a contract
whether a company has a license to
sell in South Carolina. He said the
radio station was without the law '
because it was to act as agent of
the jcompany.
The insurance commissioner suggested
that when an unknown insurance
agent approaches a prospect
that the agent be required to produce
his state license. If this license
is not available, he suggested that
the name of the agent and his company
connection be forwarded to his
office for investigation.
He cited recent instances of an
agent who sold insurance in a
"Louisiana company" that did not
exist. When the victims complained
Mr. King investigated through the
Louisiana insurance department and
found no such company recorded in
that state.
His statement declares:
"It has recently come to my attention
that a number of unlicensed
companies are soliciting insurance in
South Carolina through persons representing
themselves to be agentsand
by radio broadcast.
"I desire to call the attention of
the insuring pubLic to the illegal practices
engaged in by these companies,
as well as the agency instrumentalities.
Our laws are very specific upon
this subject and much injustice to
all concerned will result if such practices
are allowed to continue. The
reasons for placing insurance only
in licensed companies and the many
and varied inconveniences of dealing
with unlicensed companies are briefly
explained as follows:
"First: Should a policy-holder in
an unlicensed company experience
difficulty in the collection of a claim
which would result in litigation suit
would have to be entered in the
home state of the company, which action
would prove expensive as well
as inrnnvpnjPnt. whereas the licensed
companies, in complying with the requirements
of our laws appoint the
insurance commissioner attorney-infact
to accept service of process,
thereby bringing the proceedings
within our own courts. Further, upon,
many occasions, the insurance commissioner
is able to act as arbitrator
in effecting an equitable settlement
Derween cne msarcu ??.'?
thereby avoiding unnecessary law
suits, which procedure is utterly impossible
with reference to unlicensed
companies.
"Second: There are approximately
600 of the leading insurance companies
in the country, licensed by
your insurance department. These
companies, during the year 1030 contributed
toward the support of our
state, counties, municipalities and fire
departments the sum of $523,970.68.
The 1931 general assembly passed an
act increasing the tax on premiums
collected by licensed companies, which
will bring in an additional amount,
approximated at $200,000. Therefore,
you will note that the licensed
insurance companies operating in this
state during the year 1931 will pay
into the office of the insurance commissioner
for state, county, city and
fire department purposes, about $784,000,
whereas the unlicensed companies
soliciting insurance through the
mails, their so-called agents, and by
radio broadcast will not contribute
one dime toward the upbuilding of
,our state.
"Third: From the smallest village
to the largest city there can easily
be found a leading citizen engaged
in the insurance business: This agent
insures your protection in a licensed
company, appreciates your business
and, in' turn, renders you real insurance
eervice.
"When in doubt as to the reliability,
of a company or agent, or when you
are not personally acquainted with
said agent, require him to produce
his license, which is issued by this
department, and tf yotr deaiie further
F J:.~ _ ; ?\
it formation concerning the company
represented communicate with this
department. A report will be furniaircu
names and addresses of the companies
authorized to write insurance in
South Carolina, as well as the kinds
of insurance they nre licensed to
write. With this report available for
ready reference and thie office constantly
accessible, there should be nJ
trouble in ascertaining if a company
is licensed in this state. Agents
should be aware that there is a law
on the statute" books providing severe
penalties for soliciting insurance
for unlicensed companies. The public
may not know that the company
is not authorized to operate in South
Carolina, but an agency can claim no
such ignorance."
Did You Know?
That on every cruiser and battleship
of the United States Navy there
are from two to six airplanes? These (
planes are launched at flying speed,
from catapults.
That the oldest member of the
American Legion is an ex-sailormnn
of the United States Navy? His
name is John Carpenter, age 87, and
his home is in Haverhill, Mass.
That is was Theodore Roosevelt
who said '*The Navy must be built
and all its training given in time of
peace; when war has broken out, it
is too late to do anything?"
The Navy keeps records showing
the eduMttional progress of its men?
ThAt If the amount of insurance
carried on the lives of the soldiers
end sailors was converted into silver
dollars it would form a stack high
enough to ?0 two and one-half times
around the earth, a - distance of 6-1,80S
miles? .

the United States Navy were furnished

Funeral of Mary J. Barfield
Spring Hill, June 29.?Funeral
services for Mary Jacquelin Barfield,
three-year-old niece of Ernest Robertson,
who also died of burns received
when young Robertson was
cleaning his car with gasoline, were
held in Beulah Methodist church
Sunday morning, conducted by the
Rev. E. S. Dunlap, pastor of tho
baby's parents.
The little mound was covered with
a profusion of flowers in token of
sympathy for this tragic death.
The baby was the youngest child
of Mr. and Mrs. Zeland Barfield, who
reside with the latter's parents, Mr.
and Mrs. S. F.. Robertson, at Spring
Hill.
The child was standing near the
car when the can of gasoline caught.
She became excited and ran through
the fire, catching her clothing. Her
mother burned her hands badly in
putting out the fire, but the baby
was too badly burned to survive. She
died in a Camden hospital about
noon Saturday.
Besides her parents, she is survived
by two older sisters, Elizabeth
and Alma Lou Barfield, of Spring
Hill.
Pierre ?S. DxiPont, capitalist and
philanthropist of Wllmttigton, Del., is
protesting most vigorously against a
proposed plan to erect in that city a
statue in his honor. An anonymous
donor set aside $50,000 for such a
memorial. (Mr. DuPont declares himself
as unalterably opposed to the
achemt.
Clover Minister
Wants Leniency
Clover, .July 3.?The Southern
Christian Advocate says that the
Rev. G. I. Ford, Clover Methodist
minister who disappeared in April,
has written the presiding elder of
the district asking for "forgiveness."
The church paper says the missing
minister wrote from "a point in California"
and that he "confesses
wrong doing, pleads for forgiveness
and promises henceforth worthy living."
"The case will however," the publication
said, "have to take its regular
disciplinary course and is already
referred to a committee of investigation
composed of the presiding elder,
the Rev. A. E. Holler; Dr. A. Brunson,
the Rev. J. A. Chandler and the
Rev. F. C. Beach."
