The Camden Chronicle come* to it reader* thin day, the first one o nineteen hundred and thirty-two an< - with it eon*?* a wish from us tha each and everyone will enjoy a Huppj and Prosperous New Year. FacingNthe year yet to com? it n uj> to each individual to have fait' 7 . In hi* fellow man and lend a help ing hand, ho that all might ug<u? leach a sound footing. With conf)?urcly condition* would be improved and- to each a better opportunity would be afforded to reach u happy and prosperous time. yhe Chronicle regrets to note in the proposed supply bill published in last week's paper where the delegation proposes a cut in the office of tne county agent. This is one of the best agencies for good in Kershaw county. The work is being carried on under the able direction of Henry i; Green, lie is a hard and consciontious worker and has done untold good in this county. Through his efforts alone thousands of thoroughbred bogs and a large number of fine cattle have been brought into this county. He tells us that he has a record of not having turned down an applicant for the financing of a pig when called upon. In numerous, other ways he has been instrumental in changing farming conditions in Kershaw county?so badly needed at the present time. To our way of thinking it would be exceedingly unwise t<> hamper this department and we hope the delegation will devise some means of keeping this office up in its high standard. We take t)io liberty of quoting below a letter from C. I.. Gramling, one of th? . largest growers of Hampshire hogs in the state which gives some idea of his activities in this line: "It was a pleasure to spend a few hours with you recently and to_visit several of the 4-H club boys who are raising purebred Hampshire pigs purchased by you from me for them last November. All of the pigs we saw are certainly doing fine, which speaks well for the manner in which they are being fed and handled. I congratulate you and all of the boys on their splendid progress. "It is a pleasure to say that you have bought- more registered Hampshire* from me than any other individual during my sixteen years as a purebved breeder. It is also true that more <>f my hogs have gone to Ker.-haw county than to any other county in the Mate. t "l am very much .-pleaded to knowthat sin h cxi-eilent cure and super- j \i.-doii i- being giw-n all these animal.-.

CERTAIN AMENDMENTS 1 r Editor Chronicle: I notice that our 9 legislative .delegation published in i The Chronicle of lust week a propoar ed aupply bill for Kershaw county for the year lt>32, and asked for crit" iclams or suggestions from the public, providing, however, anyone had uny to offer. Now, as a ?wmll taxpayer and humble citizen, I would s like to suggest the following amend* f meats or changes in the bill, and 1 from what 1 have heard talked at round in this section, I believe that it f will meet with the approval of most of the taxpayers. I would suggest i that all officers he paid a salary, that i the clerk of court la; paid a salary of $1,?00 a year, a?>d that all tines i collected by him he turned over once a ^|>nth to the count# treasurer to i be set aside for the retirement of the . county debt. Also that the treasur1 er's salary he made $1,500, and all costs on tax execution# be turned over,To be used as the tines and collections from the-A-lerk of court. Also tlrttt'the auditors salary be $1,200 a year and that-all fees collected by hi in, as now provided for recording or transfering land titles, be turned/over by him once a month to the treasurer for county purposes. Also that the judge of probate be" paid a salary of $1,200 and all costs, fees and marriage licenses be used as 1 have already suggested. That the sheriff pay over all tines, costs and collections as now provided to the county treasurer to be used as I have already suggested. I nbso suggest an amendment, that the salary of the magistrate of DeKalb township be $00(1 and that the sheriff's deputy be required to do the work of the DeKalb township's magistrate and T^t tlie item for a constable for this magistrate l?e cut out. 1 would like in this connection to express my feelings in regards to tin" schools and school teachers. (I do hope'that our representatives will not upset the schools or cut the pay of the teachers to s.uch an extent that our schools will be upset. As I have already said. I am a small taxpayer. My taxes are a more pittance in comparison to what 1 get in the way of schools. 1 have live children in the school, ranging from the second, third, fifth, seventh and tenth grades. I can never hope to send any of my children to college arid give them the advantage of a college education hut thank Gdd that I can, under the present system, give them a hitfh school education, and will say in conclusion, I hope and trust that when it comes to the schools that our representatives will think, not for the taxpayers, but for the little minds that will suffer. , , Wishing for you and yours a happy and prosperous New Year, and that may The -Chronicle long live and bring the news on and on as it has been doing for all these years. We look forward with a great deal of anticipation for The Chronicle with its newsy columns each week. Sincerely, Citizen Bethune, S. C.,. Dec. 2S, 1SM1 Day Your Bills If you owe your grocer, butcher, dry goods man. shoe maker, hardware man, doctor, the undertaker or the furniture man or the publisher of this paper or anybody else and can possibly do so you should pay these people what you owe them. When you are given credit it is largely a matter of courtesy and convenience to you?not the merchant, ami the merchant needs his money? the money you owe him?to meet his obligations for goods that he has supplied you with and he needs it now. It is not fair to the merchant for you to buy his goods on credit and fail to pay him within a reasonable time thereafter. It is up to the buyer, the one who has been accommodated by credit to make every effort to pay the merchant. He cannot go on forever without your paying him. The people he buys from demand their pay every thirty days, frequently oftener and he can't avoid payment of his obligations, and if he r;iiC the f.ri.1 thing he knows he is forced nto bankruptcy or into the hand- of a receiver. When this is .... ; ju-t one store less I v here i an get credit accommoiia . it to your interest t<> ur..m:.;;> pay the merchant who avo'* von with credit. Thousands uf -tore? have been forced out of business or to a strictly . ash business by the failure of people who owe merchants only a few dollars that they could have paid and didn't. If you owe the merchant fifty dollars, more or less, make an effort to pay him all; if not all then half or sora# portion of it. The merchant will thank you for this. It will enable him to pay those he owes and this he will do. Again, let us insist, that you do your utmost, even to buying less gasoline or some, other commodity, to ! pay the man you owe, whether it be 1 the grocer, the dry goods man, the doctor, the lawyer, the butcher, the undertaker. the furniture man, the r gasoline seller, the garage man, the - newspaper" man. All of these people . need their money to carry on. Do it 5 today. Pay at least a part of what you oyve.? Yorkville Enquirer. General News Notes Mr. oml Mrs. Harry N.

YOUR INTEREST IN RAILROADS A railroad executive presents this thumbnail sketch of the^railroad industry: The Class 1 lines have an investment of $25,360,0000,000. They operate 429,200 miles of track and" pay taxes amounting to $348,000,000 a year. They spend about $1,038,000,000 a year for equipment and supplies. They employ 1,500,000 men and women with a total wage of $2,550,000,000. 1 here are a million holders of railroad bonds and 800.000 stockholders. More than $3,000,000,000 of railroad securities are held by life insurance companies and mutual savings banks. These insurance companies have 50,000,000 policyholders and there are nearly 13,000,000 depositors in mutual savings hanks. The railroad industry is exceeded in size only by agriculture. Practically every living American has an interest of some kind in the rails. The steel worker, the storekeeper, the banker, the insurance man, the. day Inboror?ill classes and all kinds are involved. To some degree, their individual prosperity, or lack of it, is bound up with railroad prosperity. Yes, whother you work for wages or clip coupons, you are a partner of the railroads.

C. it C i Urge Measures r To Save Farms I (P, 11. MoGowan in The State) Washington, Dec. 10,-^telU r ten sen of Beaufort, president of the I Farmers and Taxpayers' league of South Carolina, today conferred with ! President Hoover, supported by Senator E. 1). Smith, relative to legislation that would enable the federal ' land (banks to postpone foreclosure of past due mortgages. Mr Christensen said ho commendlU'. that portion ?C the president s message to congress proposing additional appropriations to assist t le federal land banks. He urged that these funds bo made available to assist the farmer-borrowers in their , present difficulties. , , ?/ 44While some of those in default, Mr. Christensen said, "might be .slackers, the large number are bard pressed victims of general conditions. We submit that it is a sound policy to save these debtors, even more important as a 'business proposition than to provide for the new borrowing your message advocates, families struggling to save home, to which they have become long attached are more certain to pay out now than now buyers. Mr. (Christensen said if this appropriation of $100,000,000 be made available for buying the interest coupons on the land bank bonds for an emergency period, the bahks would adopt the policy o-f 'withholding foreclosures in all deserving cases during the depression. Moreover, former owners could be given the opportunity of recovering their lost properties and making new mortgages. -Such a policy would greatly hearten thousands of farmers who are not only now crushed by impending loss of their homes and farms but also by a feeling that they are being pursued through heartless and ruthless foreclosures by present axiministjptors of the system. "The federal treasury could buy in their coupons," Mr. Christensen said, "as they become due for a period of several years with the appropriation J you recommend. Such action would doubtless send the bonds to par or better and ample additional funds from private investors would be imI mediately forthcoming to provide the new loans your message suggests." Washington, Dec. 10.?Senator J. F. Byrnes has drafted a bill directing J the secretary of the treasury to purchase and hold for a period of two years, the coupons upon thfc outstanding bonds of the various federal land banks. 4-. The senator states that this is the solution of the land bank situation that he urged in the summer of 1930. Ho states that the farm board takes the position that it is forced to its policy of foreclosing mortgages in order to raise money to pay the coupons on outstanding bonds. An investment by the treasury in the cou1 pons would make it possible foi the. land banks to extend the time for payment of installments wherever there was any reasonable hope of the j borrower meeting his payments at a j later date and at the same tim?j j should involve no loss to the treasury. ?-' WARNING TO PARENTS It is a continual expense to the city replacing street lights broken by some of the children.
