Important Meeting
Set For August 25
Conditions are such that it i? felt
wise to call a meeting of the thinking
people of Kershaw county who
are interested in agriculture und general
economic improvement, therefore,
all men who are \jdlling to contribute
a little of their time and
some of their most concentrated
thought are requested to meet at
the Court House in Camden at 11
a. m., Tuesday, August 26th. Outstanding
leaders and thinkers ure expected
to be present.
It is felt that the county should
go on record as hacking a definite
plan of relief. It is well known that
there are many plans being offered.
Prominent among them at present
are the plans offered by Mayor
Stoney of Charleston and Senator
Smith of South Carolina.
Mortgages on farms and homes in
Kershaw county are continuing to fail
due. Our farmers have large crops
of cotton und other commodities but
under the present conditions these
crops mean little in the way of assets
in liquidating and discharging
obligations.
Men who have given the present
situation great thought and consideration
will be present to discuss some
phases of betterment of our people.
Mr. JI. G. Carrison, Sr., key bunker
for Kershaw county, will be among
the prominent speakers. Congressman
Stevenson has been invited, says
Henry I). Green, county agent.
Peddler's License
Declared Illegal
Asheville, N. C., Aug. 19.?North
Carolina's effort to place a $50 tax
on trucks hauling produce, fruit or
fish into this state from other states
today was held unconstitutional by
a three-judge federal court.
The court nullified, in effect the
action of the last general assembly,
which passed the peddler's tax by
making permanent a temporary injunction
restraining collection of the
levy.
The injunction was granted to B.
M. Gramlin, of (Spartanburg, S. C.,
peach grower, who brought a test
case against the tax act in behalf of
hundreds of other orchardists and
farmers who have been accustomed
to marketing South Carolina products
in this state.
The court, composed of Judge John
J. Parker, of Charlotte; Judge E.
Yates Webb, of Shelby, and Judge H
H. Watkins of Anderson, S. C\, held
that the. state has a right to impose
a tax on peddlers so long as there
is no discriminating against the products
of other states.
\V. Frank Norman, prominent |
Washington attorney, was shot to
death in that city Wednesday by a
hotel bell boy over a parking space at j
the Wardman Park hotel. The negro j
bellhop claimed that the lawyer had
struck him two /days before and he
waited his chance to shoot him. He
surrendered to the police and will
claim &elf-defense.

I received a total of 98 votes to 67
votes for S. S. Steele. As it rained
for a good portion of the day there
were not many farmers who came to
town to vote and many in the city
were prohibited from voting because
of the pledge which had to bo made
previous to voting. This pledge stated
that the voter must be a grower,
buyer or seller of cotton either directly
or indirectly.
At Heath Springs Z. F. Mackey,
who has been cotton weigher for a
long time had no opposition so that
he was again elected to fill that
office for the next two years. Only
a few ballots were cast under the
circumstances.

Fort Motte Cannery
Has World Range
> i nji mi n *
St. Matthews, >S. C., Aug. 17.?
From a farm near the village of Fort
Motte produce has been shipped all
over the world, some going aa far as
India, in cans. It ia u garden truck
farm with a year-round market. The
director of operations ia a woman,
Mrs. Margaret JK. Hane, to whom the
owner of the farm, her husband, Wm.
C. Hane, defers. In the yard back of
the old antebellum mansion that is
reminiscent of the days of slavery,
Mrs. Hane links manufacturing to
'field production and makes a creditable
go of 1aoth.
"I always liked to cap and did a
lot of it afid sold some of what I
put up in the kitchen even when we
were operating the farm in the old
way," says Mrs.. Hane. "When it
looked as if the boll weevil would,
ruin us if we kept on growing colton,
we decided to make canning( a
irpajor operation. That was eight ov
I nine yearA ago. Now our farming is
more or less an udjunct of canning."
| Yet nearly everything put up in
Mrs. Hane's cannery is produced on
her husband's farm, once a big plantation
and still comprising some 300
acres of land. This year the gatherings
of 40 acres of truck crops are
passing through the cannery, which is
started up as soon as early vegetables
come on and continues operating until
late in the fall. A little prdouce is
bought for it and when prices are
good some produce is sold in fresh
state by the Hanes. Last year, Mrs.
Hane canned and sold between three
and four thousand cases of goods.
Several of her products, such as her
vegetable mixture, are canned according
to her own formulas and have
won high standing in markets where
A hey are sold. A big New York department
store is now negotiating
with her for asparagus. She was a
pioneer in the canning of that vegetable
in South Carolina. Her canned
tomato juice is purchased for
use in hospitals as far off as Cincinnati
and Minnesota. She has even
shipped iSouth Carolina canned goods
to California. Original equipment
for the farm cannery cost only a few
hundred dollars.
Three young men, aged 26, 22 and
