Ho was namcx for the bench in 1D03 by the late Pre*i<kr\Wl(,oKoveIt. In bis letter of resignation to President Hoover he paid: . "The condition of my health m^kes Jtji. <u.iv to btoak off connection* that 1 cannot lea^e without deep regret after the affectionate relations of many years ami the absorbing' interests that have filled my life. "Hut the time has come and 1 bow to the inevitable." Farm Market Letter In order to help the farm people of Kershaw county to secure more money we plan to begin shortly to issuing circular letters in Camden and over the county listing farm products for sale. While we do not propose to guarantee the articles listed, one requirement is that the produce or articles be exactly as described; and that the sellers and buyers negotiate together and not through our office. It is felt by man" people that much can be accomplished by aiding the farm people to trade or sell their surplus products. < In listing products with our office it- is requested that the seller ^.ivc his address including K. F. D. and -box number in order that he may be easily found by prospective buyers. Hams, poultry",' eggs, vegetables, various meats, potatoes, grains and feed-, meal, seeds, utensils, cows, calve-. hone.V, bogs, |>igs. mules, wagons, plows and many other article may be tsvlcj. w. traded by having th-Vn li-t<'d in otr market letter. We will continue to sell large surpluses which could not be absorbed by the county, these going to the fnrger markets. This will be of interest to town people as well as to the farm people as it will not only help farm folks to find a buyer bui_ will also make )( easy for town people to locate what they want. Those who may be interested in purchasing farm commodities may receive these market letters by listing their names for the county agent's market letter. Another requirement is that wo he notified of sales made through this medium. Those who desire to receive these market letters should have their name and address placed on out "Market letter" mailing list, advises lbiiry D. (Ireen, the county agent. This Doctor believes in Men Dr. F. F. Thornton, of London. Ky., believes in men. Not long ago a man told him he owed him about $<>. as he had utilized hi? services 22 years ago. Dr. Thornton found that in KH)l* he Had ( hargetl-this man The patient paid it after all these years, but neglected to add interest. Not long after that. Dr. Thorntonl had the second surprise of his life. He found a feeble old man in his office one day, who told him that he had come to pay him "for working for me." That work, it seems, had been carried out twenty-five years ago, and the doctor could not even recall the face of the patient, who, handed his $2(>.(X). The Doctor had to admit that his office had burned with all h:s books of that time, he hud n?? account. The patient saul he owed exactly $U. and he continued;! I want you to keep the $1X.N) and t?. ?l,?.w that 1 am hones', the $2.00 are i>u - for being good to me.'

A few months ago the man returned to Fmeastle and paid the doctor $10 for his services. He had been in the interim in the state penitentiary for slaying his mother-in-law. Farm Note The successful farmer in 11*32 will be seer, going to his smokehouse for' baeon and ham; to his bam for corn, meal, grits; to his lot for milk and butter; to his pantry for conned I goods. And that farmer is going to get along pretty well, boo.?Bamberg Herald. ~ WHITER WOULD HAVE RURAL ' OFFICERS RETAINED HERE Editor Chronicle; After reeding the proposed Supply Will, I have one suggestion to make. I notice it cut# out entirely the rural polico job. I am oppoWd to cutting it out. I think we peoplevjn the rural district8 should have proteettWk^h*! that is thu only way to get it. You have suggested going back to *he old Magtttrate(Y.nMaide s?tem, which is the next thing to^nothing. I would suggest that you cut out u)l the magistrates in the county except four, one in each township, with the' salary you have suggested for magistrates and magistrates' constables which would mean about . twenty-five hundred dollars ($2,500). Thenr if necessary, cut the police's salary twenty-five dollars ($25.00) per month, which Wans twelve hundred dollars, leaving a difference of [about thirty-two hundred dollars. I don't think that the good citizens of Kershaw county would object to paying the difference for the protection that the rural police would givo us. Give us the rural police and let's all stand behind thorn and help them to enforce the law and not criticize and find m) much fault. To do away with the police means for the lawlessness to run rampant in our county and the violators go unpunished. Other suggestions might bo made but I will leave thaL with you. Yours v*Ty truly, Wade L. Stokes, Oassatt, So. Car. Poultry Shipments Arrangements are now being made to ship poultry from Camden Monday, January 18, a. m.; Kershaw, Tuesday, 1all day; Bethune, Wednesday, 20, 8 to 12 o'clock. While the contracts for these schedules have not bCen definitely closed it is practically assui'eif that the operations will be macte as scheduled above. Notices will mailed out the latter-part of this week to a few box holders on each R. F. 1>. route in the county. Anyone particularly interested in shipping poultry or turkeys over either of these schedules may secure definite information the latter part of this week from the home agent or the county agent. Indications are that prices will probably be a little better tharr the last recent shipment. For the information of those who ship from Bethune the company which will buy this schedule on the Seaboard is the same that bought at Bethune last year and not the company that failed to buy as scheduled just before Christmas. Prices for . the Camden and Kershaw shipments will be announced later. Prices to be paid' at Bethune are as follows: j No. 1 turkey hens, 20e; old toms. I 1 .">c; colored hens, 15c; colored chickens. 15c; stags, He; Leghorn hens, 12c; Leghorn chickens, 12c; cox, <?c; ducks and geese. 10c; guineas. 20c each. Not Broke A member of the mob marching on Washington in an effort to arouse governmental interest in unemployment fainted, was carried to a hospital and in his pocket, police said, was found $1,000. This is just another indication of the fact that those who actually need help are pot the ones making the most noise. Those who are most worthy of receiving aid are too modest to cry their woes to the ears of the world. Those who, when helped over a rough place will again take their places among the real workers are not th? shouters, the noisy militant pnrader Who knocks upon the door of the White Hou*e.?Union Times.

Lost 20 lbs. of Fat In Just 4 Weeks Mrs. Mae West, of St. Ixiuis, Mo., writes: "I'm only 2rt years old and weighed 170 pounds until taking one box of your Krusehen Salts just 4 weeks ago. I now weigh 150 pounds. I also have more energy and furthermore I've never had a hungry moment." Fat folks should take one half toaspoonful of Krusehen Salts in a glass of hot water in the morning hefore breakfast?it's the SAPF, harmless Way to reduce as ten* of thousands of men ami women know-.

IW.IklJ.V... . . . > I-. ?|| -T ' On Paying Accounts (Find of a Series of Articles To Apper in The Chronicle) 4 It is an unquestionable fact that too much debt, national, state, city and individual was one of the causes of the present world depression. These deblkvare what are causing so much misery and suffer^# ?t present, both physical and mental. How may Offl'h of us help to bring back to this nation the prosperity and happiness we have enjoyed in the past and to which we are entitled t 'May each of us do our part to bring this condition back and the riength of time this will take depends upon our ability individually and collectively to get all debts re* dueed to a reasonable sum. Some people have believed the chain stores of all kinds were a menace to the towns in which they were located, but -is it not a fact that their custom of dealing for cash only has been an incentive to other merchantV to limit the amount of credit they extend and to collect their accounts jn more promptly? They have also taught many hundreds of thousands of' individuals the benefits of paying cash for what they buy and not h'ave the dreaded monthly bills. Can we not right here in Camden help to hasten the day of better times by each one of us trying our best to pay each merchant or person what we owe before we thoughtlessly use the money for things we would really b% just as well off without? jLet each merchant send out his bl^fcmore promptly and let each of us good citizens use a greater effort t6 pay our debts more promptly and do our bit to hasten prosperity. Pay Your Debts If you owe money to the other fellow don't wait until you can pay him all you owe. Pay him a part of the debt. Every little bit you pay helps him and in turn he can pass on what you pay him to the other fellow and so the benefits will continue. If you elect to wait until you can pay all you owe in a lump, the time may be too long.?Yorkville Enquirer. Confidence A story goes the rounds which states that while frightened citizens were rapidly withdrawing funds from a strong bank in Florence the other day, and rushing them to the postofTice for deposit, postofTice clerks were engaged in trotting right back to the same bank and placing them on deposit ?in the name of Uncle Sam.?Marion Star.

It is more than a pleasure to note that South Carolina is not included in the list of states which are accredited with lynchings during 1931. ?Kershaw Era. o Church Services Announced Church services at the following Baptist churches have been announced for Sunday, January 17th, by RevT.

The city police working on the ca>e have no clue to the hold thief. Sore Throat Is Dangerous A sore throat often leads to serious illness. Stop it at once. Take Thoxine, a prescription made exclusively for throat ailments; not a gargle. The first swallow relieves the soreness in a few minutes; and goes direct to the internal cause, preventing further trouble. Most coughs are caused by an irritated throat. Thoxine stops these at once. Safe tor the whole family ?guaranteed no dope. Money back if not satisfied. 35c. DePa&s' Drug Store and all other good drug stores. CONCRETE Lily Pools.
