The .Chronicle hopes that every
man, woman and child will attend the
Kershuw County Fair for at least one
day next week. The Leg ion-Shrine
and their co-workers have labored
hard to make it a success. County
Agent Henry 1). Green, whose work
carries him into every part of the
county, tells us that from all indications
there will be on exhibition
more home-raised products, cattle
and swine than was ever shown in
this county before. He has labored
. hard and earnestly in his work among
farm folks and people will see
the result of his efforts as reflected
in the livestock exhibits of his 4-H
Club members.
Merchants who do not advertise
are invited to read the following from
the American Bankers Magazine, as
it might give them a new slant on
business?your own business?as well
as the matter of building up your
town.
. "No business man in any town
should allow u newspaper published
in his town to go without his name
and business being mentioned somewhere
in its columns. This does not
mean you should have a whole, half
or even a quarter page ?d in each
issue of the paper, but your name
and business should be mentioned, if
you do not use more than a 2-line
space. A stranger picking up a
newspaper should be able to tell
what business is represented in a
town by looking at the paper. This
is the best possible town advertiser.
The mar. who does not advertise his
business does an injustice to himself
and the town. The man who insists
on sharing the business that comes to
town, but refuses to advertise his
own is not a valuable addition to
any town. The life of a town depends
on the live, wide-awake and
liberal advertising business men."
One Answer, Anyway
Two boys were talking the other
day and one asked his companion this
question: "Why is it that there are
more automobile wrecks on the hard
surfaced roads than there are train
wrecks in comparison of automobiles
to locomotives," and the boy ^thought
for a minute and replied: "Who ever
- heard of an engineer necking a fireman

Making Long 'Hops*
in Southward Flight
Washington, Oct. 15.?This is one
time when seeing should not be believing,
duck hunters are being
warned in the latest statement of
Paul G. Redington, chief of the Biological
Survey, the bureau of the U.
S. Department of Agriculture charged
with protecting migratory birds.
"By comparison with former seasons
the ducks on their southern
flight will find great tracts of waterless
land," Mr. Redington ' said.
"With comparatively few suitable
water areas left by drought and
drainage the ducks will be forced to
concentrate in lfcrge numbers. Many
, hunters and especially members of
gun clubs, which Are usually advantageously
located, are apt to conclude
that waterfowl are. more plentiful
than over before.
"Actually unimpeachable evidence
has proved," he said, "that many
species, including those most highly
prized by hunters, are dangerously
scarce. .Shooters who choose to believe
what they see and to take their
limit of ducks in the areas of^concentration
will, without exaggeration,
be jeopardizing their sport for all
time."
While the shortage has been
brought about by the cumulative effect
of drainage and drought as well
a.- hy shooting, and an augmented
rcstora; ;\e p: oftram is needed, the
hii-eati head do la red. the most immediate
emergency and one in the
power of every sportsman is to help
in avoiding a heavy kill of the ducks
this season, which is now open in
most of the north.
"For the true sportsman the kill
is only part of the joy of hunting."
he * reminded. "There is the thrill
that comes of just being in the outdoors.
the tang of the frosty morning.
the glamor of 'blue bird' weather,
the whirring of wings overhead."

Itexall Store To
* Put On lc Sale
DeKalb Pharmacy and the DeBass
Drug Store, the local Kexall
Drug Stores have just received a personal
letter from Ix>uis K. Liggett,
leading figure in the drug world, old
friend of former President Coolidge
and a keen student of modern business.
The messuge sent froip Boston
headquarters of this outstanding
pacemaker in successful merchandising
is as full of good news as an
English Wulnut is of meat. Mr.
Liggett throws some mighty interesting
sidelights on current business
affairs and has crowded much unanswerable
logic into the document.
Referring to one of his conversations
with former President Calvin
Coolidge, he tells that after an hour's
discussion of business problems, Mr.
Coolidge declared: "Supply and demand
will make the price. It always
bas and always will. You cannot
control what Gt>d produces."
Mr. Coolidge was referring to the
Knglish attempt that failed? to regulate
production and price of rubber,
and for. Liggett's comment* is,
"No special legislation?no national
legislation?no world intercourse
world courts can* establish a. value
that will turn the flow of business.
Calvin Coolidge was right when he
said that price can be regulated only
by supply and demand."
The fact that at this particular
time of business stress there is listed
the largest number of Kexall drug
stores in drugdom's history, was received
with no little satisfaction, because
it proved to him the wisdom
of becoming the Kexall druggist in
this' particular locality where the
profit and good will assured by the
Kexall plan to both the one who sells
and the one who buys has been a
community affair of mutual benefit.
"I think the biggest merchandising
idea that has ever been promulgated
in America is the fall one
cent sale," continued Mr. Liggett,
and he gives this bit of history: "I
brought this sale to you in the fall
of PJ 14, after war had been declared
between the European countries.
Everything was at a standstill. Stock
markets were closed. Everything
was going to hell in a hack, and the
one-cent sale put your business over
then und it will do the same thing
this fall."
More money is going to be spent
on the publicity program for this autumn
One Cent Sale than has ever
been expended before. As its projector
who gave it to the independent
druggists who have accepted the
Rc'xall merchandising plan, Mr. Liggett
says: "The theme and scheme
back of the one cent sale is clean?it
\A wholesome?it is truthful. It is
merchandising from factory to consumer
with the lowest possible intermediate
profit. You will give employment
in your stores by reason of
what your consumers buy. And after
all, that is what" is'g'Crthg to tide
us over!"
This Rexall one cent sale will be
run the first week in November and
the people of this community! will
share in this greatest festival ofjbuying
opportunity of the current strenuous
year.

Bankers
To Join Cotton Move
Columbia, Oct. 20.?Banker* of
Suoth Carolina today *ub*cribed approximately
$1,000,000 to the National
Credit corporation, designed to
melt frozen bank asset*, and further
agreed to finance through July 31,
1032, 225,000 bale* of cotton, approximately
one-fourth of the wtate's cotI
ton crop thi* year.
The action came at a special call
meeting to organize for participation
in the credit corporation, formed
at the instigation of Pre?ident
Hoover, and to consider the plan
recently put'forward at New Orleans
for holding several million bale* of
1931 cotton off the glutted market.
The bankers said their action was
an expression of their faith in the
two programs devised to lift the
south and the nation from the depression.
It was pointed out that
participation makes available- to
South Carolina resources of the billion
dollar organization.
It is possible, the bankers said,
that a material addition may be made
I to the $1,000,000 already subscribed,
j The plan is dfesigned to enable banks
to convert their "frozen assets" into
liquid form to be used by the institutions
for the benefit of their communities.
South Carolina's unit in the corporatioh
will be managed by a loan
committee of seven bankers to be appointed
by a committee composed of
VV. J. Roddey, Sr., of Rock Hill, A. L.
M. Wiggins, of Hartsville, president
of the South Carolina Bankers' association,
and A. E. Bird, of Charleston,
vice president of the association.
Mr. Roddey was appointed by the
Fifth Federal Reserve district directors
as organizer for the South Carolina
unit of the corporation.
He said tonight that he expected
to be in a position to announce the
membership of the loan committee
before the end of the week
Speaking over radio station WIS
tonight, Mr. Wiggins said "South
Carolina bankers today demonstrated
not only their faith in themselves and
in South Carolina," but their ability
to capitalize the possibilities that lie
ahead by taking a large participation
in the most substantial agency for
economic reconstruction that has
been developed?the National Credit
association. * * * Few people realize
the large release of money that will
follo\y the operations of this corporation.
| "South Carolina will benefit to a
| large extent in the release of these
funds as a result of the large subscriptions
of South Carolina to the
debentures of the corporation."
The bankers' action in regard to
cotton holdings is effective only on
condition that the 1932 crop be reduced
by 50 per cent from the lp31
acreage. They pledged themselves
to . make every effort to see that
such a reduction i&-carried out.
The decision to participate in the
credit corporation program was made
at a two hour morning session, . attended
by approximately 50 bankers.
At a longer session in the afternoon
the cotton plan was approved.
Through it the banks of South
Carolina agreed to join with banks
of other cotton states to make or to
renew loans maturing not earlier
than July 31, 1932, secured by cotton
* j n m nnnfa oiw \ on 3
500,000 bales.
R. B. Caldwell, of Chester, president
of the South Carolina Cotton
Cooperative association, announced
that his organization is prepared to
finance an unlimited amount of
cotton. Joseph E. Gagle, manager of
the federal intermediate credit bank,
of Colurdbia, said his institution is
in a position to purchase from banks
t or other financial institutions cotton
loans in this state to the amount of
i $5,000,000.
