The American legion and Camden
Shrine Club deserve congratulations
on the fine fair held last week. They
had good support from the people of
the county ami the exhibits this yea'
surpassed any previous fair. 1 he
two organizations, together with the
home demonstration agent, the county*
agent and numerous others paved
the way for an excellent exhibition of
the resources of the county. I he
Chronicle would not try to single out
any one member of the two organizations
to praise but would like to
state that no man worked harder and
stayed on the job any closer than
did A. Fl, Miller, who had charge of
the exhibits. Everything in his department
worked smoothly.
TIME TO WAKE UP
The cost of government, national,
state, county and city, is under indictment.
That is the natural result
of a protracted period of depression,
the acute existence of which is
far from removed even now. When
one gets the information on his annual
city taxes, his state and county
taxes, and what lie is due Uncle Sa;n?
he scratches his head. Never before
has the writer so often encountered
as at present an expression coming
froip so many people running like
this: "It's cheaper for me to rent
than try to own my home and pay
taxes." Towns, cities and communities
cannot grow when this ideu,
whatever its foundation, becomes
prevalent. There is need for strictest
economy in the cpnduct of government
nowadays, more so than ever
before?and that applies to all
branches. Particularly is the oppressed
land and property owner
hard hit. In the current issue of the
Saturday Evening Post is a thoughtful
editorial on this subject, which
among other things says: "Wage
cutting shrould be a last resort, but
if it is to be done by industry our
public servants, who up to this time
seem to he the only ones in the
country secure of their jobs, might
well take a cut in pay, which would
not be a cut in their real pay, in
view of the increased purchasing
power of the dollar." That is something
to ponder just at this time
when supply bills and state budgets
ar^being whipped into shape. And
there should be some tax remedies
applied to switch from land and visible
property. Here is another extract
from the Post's editorial and
thoughtful students of political economy
would do well to study and heed.
"Real estate taxes on farms, on
houses and business property have
reached the breaking point; in fact,
they have already broken many holders.
It is hard to see how the farmer
is benefitted by driving home over
a fine new cement road to a farm
plastered with mortgages and taxed
to the last dollar of its earning capacity.
Or just what nourishment he
can get out of sending his children
in a free motor to a palatial schoolhouse
with all the modern educational
trimmings, and some not so educational,
if the sheriff is nailing a
tax-sale notice on his front door. Or
how his situation is being helpod by
the expenditure of great sums of tax
money to gather vast stores of cotton
and wheat that now hang over the
y - -* ?- -* * *" * * *
marivcc Vnc swuru ui t'amui
A surplus distributed in thousands
of bins and warehouses on thousands
of farms and in numerous small
towns is nothing like as disorganizing
a market liability as the same
amount of wheat and cotton mobilized
in the hands of a government
hoard where all can see and count it
down to the last bushel and the last
bale"."?Spartanburg .1 ournal.

A young woman, about 25, identified
as Gladys Clark, committed suicide
in Spartanburg Saturday night
by drinking poison. She left a note
explaining that she had been unable
to obtain work and she would no
longer impose on the kindness of
friends. She had endeavored to get
work with carnival companies, having
come to Spartanburg some time a^o
with a carnival outfit.
Two Warehouses /
Open Up Monday
Florence, S. C., Nov. 2.?The Warehouses
of the Carolinas Cooperatives
Consolidated at both Florence and
Orangeburg will be formally opened
Monday morning, November bth, for
the purpose of buying pec ana from
the grower, mo it was announced by
its manager, T. B. Young, Florence,
today. The warchouscH will be at
the H<*mc locations as in previous
years and the cash prices will be
posted in the warehouses Monday
morning. The Consolidated will either
buy nuts for cash from the grower
or handle for his account as the
grower prefers. In previous years
a large tonnage of nuts has been
bought or received from the growers
and in view of a large crop this
year it is expected that the largest
tonnage yet will be handled, and
furthermore Mr. Young believes that
due to popular priefc* and liberal supplies
that the public is going to take
pecans more freely this year than
ever and. believes that the trade and
public will tend to give preference
to pecans over other nuts.
Mr. Young recently made a trip into
eight or ten of the principal cities
going as far west as Chicago and
advises that the trade is becoming
more and more., interested in pecans
whrch heretofore has largely been a
product that the trade did not feel
they could get in quantity and volume,
and furthermore it was too fyigh
price in comparison with other nuts
to be of much interest. With the
coming of popular prices in pecans
the trade is going to take to it in a
much more liberal way.
Mr. Young states they are opening
their warehouses this year ^
week later than usual and that the
crop is from one to two weeks late
in dropping which is unfortunate as
it is a seasonal product and should be
rushed to market at the earliest possible
date in order to realize the best
prices. In fact he states that it will
be quite a rush now to gej. nuts into
the warehouses processed and shipped
to market in time for the Thanksgiving
trade which is one of the most
important nut seasons. It is his belief
that growers should by all means
rush the nuts in for delivery before
the lf>th November because it is
very likely that a large portion of
this ejrop will not Ik1 consumed in the
shell and the unsold portion will
likely be passed to .the shellers in
which event nuts always move at
considerably lower prices. Therefore,
the grower who gets his pecans
on the market early and gets rid of
them for cash will likely come out
better than the one who defers his
selling. He bases his opinion on the
following facts?government estimate
of production for this year was 77,000.000
pounds against 411,000,000
pounds for last year, furthermore,
there was a heavy accumulation of
nuts carried over from last year
which are for sale this season and
this, with the reduced buying power
of the country for luxuries, is
having its effect. *
Mr. Young further states that J.hey
have buying orders up to the amount
of about half million pounds but these
orders would have to be filled by or
before November 15th or would be
withdrawn to other territory. He
further states that they have already
bought a number o<f carloads, conof
-vjl:hiiU-u. nlraiulu Luxux
shipped but it was necessary to place
this business in earlier shipping territory
than the Carolinas.
C. M. Riser, merchant and farmer
of Olar, has been appointed by Governor
Blackwood, a member of fhe

Carolinians Cited
By Carnegie Fund
Pittsburgh, Oct. 31,?Three South!
Carolinians, oo? a 13-year-old school
gi'l, the others two young women,
today were cited by the Carnegie
Hero Fund Commission for outstanding
aota of heroism. 'Forty-eight
awards were made, divided among 22
states.
1 lie awards in question go to
Maryland W. Wilson, 13, of 107 Whitsett
Street, Greenville; Mrs. Norman
M. Huckabee, 21, (then Helen Hagood)
of Hatosburg; and Catherine
W. Furlong, 26, a bookkeeper, of L34
Kutledge Avenue, Charleston. To
each was awarded a bronze medal.
The commission, citing the cases,
said:
"Miss Wilson, the schoolgirl, saved
Anna B. Gordon, 14, from drowning
ut Hendersonville, N XL, July 11,
1023.
, "Anna jumped from a boat at a
point 660 feot from the bank of
Lake Kanuga, was unable to climb
back into the boat, and started to
swim to the bank.
"Maryland jumped from the boat
to accompany her. When she had
swum 16 feet, Anna went under the
surface and Maryland extended her
.hand to her. Anna grabbed her but
Maryland freed herself and aided
the older girl they swam with
great effort 460 feet toward the
bank. Anna then became semiconscious,
and Maryland, towing her,
swam 105 feet nearer the bank. They
were then given assistance by men
in boats. Anna was revived."
The report on Mrs. IJuckaboe said:
"Miss Hagood saved Norman M.
Huckabee, 29, (now her husband)
school principal, from drowning at
Yuupon Beach, July 20, 1030.
"While Huckabee was swimming
in Long Bay he became unable to
make progress toward the shore. His
father, a capable swimmer, who was
accompanying him, tried to tow him
to wadable water but was unable to
breast the "urrent and left to get
aid. Huckabee drifted to a point 140
feet from the shore.
"M iss llagood, who weighed much
less than Huckabee, swam 100 feet
for the most part in deep water,
took hold of Huckabee, and tried to
swim toward the shore. They were
carried by the current to a point
300 feet from the shore and then
to a submerged reef 150 feet from
the shore. With considerable difficulty,
M iss Hagood supported Huckabee
and moved shoreward on the
reef until a line was tossed to her.
Huckabee was pulled to the shore
on the line, and Miss Hagood swam
a few feet behind him."
The prosaic account of the reason
for the award to Miss Furlong
said: "Miss Furlong helped save
Kthel V. von Peollnitz, 11. and John
O. Flanagan, 11, from drowning *at
Moultrieville, August 28, 1030.
"While Ethel and John were
jumping waves in the Atlantic
Ocean, off Sullivan's island, they
were carried by a current into deep
water 175 feet from the shore. Miss
Furlong, who weighed but little
more than the children, swam f)5
feet to them, grasped one with each
hand and tried to push them ashore
as she trod water. But they drifted
15 feet further out. Her strength
began to fail, and alternately she
.allowed one child to drag below the
surface while she held up the other.
"Carlisle S. Lentz, who had been
bathing nearby, swam, close to her
then and she pushed Ethel to him
and he succeeded in getting the girl
to shore while Miss Furlong sustained
John until Lentz oame back and
relieved her of him. Miss Furlong
managed to float then until aid
reached her and helped her ashore."
