Price per annum $2.00, payable in adraiwtr? Friday, January 29. 1932 A biir To rtdlitrict South Carolina into six Yonfc regional districts in atea/l ot ?even i? up in the general assembly. A proposed district for the fifth district would add I*e and fciUNiter counties under the representation of W. F. Stevenson, present congressman. The district now com. prices Cherokee, Chester, Chesterfield, Fairfield, Kershaw, Uneaster and York counties. I. .1 * I - -"V ' 1,1 League Adopts Resolution# - j J7 M ' At a meeting of the Farmers' and Taxpayers' League of KerHhaw county held at the court house Wednes'* 'day only a small number, not more than fifteen, being present the following resolutions were adopted. "Koaolvcdr That the State Kdutation law be rewritten as recommended by the Farmers' and Taxpayers' League and that full control of the schools, together with the making of. contracts with the teachers, be vested in the County Boards of Education on the basis of free contract as between the parties; and that the State contribute $1,500,000 to the schools on the basis of effective enrollment of all schools, without discrimination whatsoever. "Whereas: The Farmers' and Taxpayers' League of South Carolina in convention adopted the report of the committee charged with the formulation of a state budget for submission to the General Assembly of the state; and "Whereas: The Legislative Committee of the State league has recoHmmuled a total budget not exc^ftii'ig seven million dollars; and ^Whereas: Ordinary prudence indicates the necessity of holding all appropriations within the total of the expected income of the indirect taxes, be it.. "Resolved: That the Kershaw unit earnestly recommends to the Kershaw delegation in the General Assembly that the mombera thereof insist that all appropriations be kept within a limit of seven million dollars and that the surplus, if any, be applied to payment of the deficit." JULIUS ROSEN WALD Julius Rosenwald was a great merchant but a greater philanthropist. All creeds and races have cause to mourn his passing. In his 09 years he gave away $03,000,000. Indeed, his generosity to the colored race is the foundation of that popular but erroneous rumor that Sears, Roebuck A Company is a negro institution. He gave to tin' Young Men's Christian Association as readily as he gave to the Young Men's Hebrew Association, and to rural schools as great universities. One of the major memorials tu. hi* memoiv'is the $35,000,000 foundation for # , ,, , promoting, the "well-being o. man-1 kin.) -The Pathfinder. The South Carolina railroad com-, mission has ordered the live big eloc-1 trie companies in this state to file within 20 days statements of their rates bused on the valuations of the, properties much lower than the company claims, made by the investigating commission last week. Dave Dunnham, the negro convict-i < (1 of murder in Chester county and found to be an imbecile at the state hospital, has had his death sentence recommended commuted to life imprisonment by the state board of pardons, with the proviso that no later administration reduce that punishment .

Judge i, .can would be district judge of this court, instead of being a superr.umcrary judge as now. This district, under the Byrnes bill, if it is passed, would have three divisions, at Rock Hill, Aiken and Columbia. The additional cost of the Byrrtee plan would be for clerk, marshal and district attorney for the nerw district, chiefly. Oscar DePrtest, negro congressman from Chicago's black belt, addressed over 1,000 negroes at Columbia. The most of his speech was a warning to .the negro to stay away from Communists and all their ilk however they are disguised under otheT names. He also told his hearers to gtudy the constitution to learn their rights and then exercise them for his friends and against his ene ; On Paying Accounts (Third of a Herie* of Article* To \ Apper in The Chronicle) | No right thinking merchant or individual will willingly or knowingly, do an .Injustice to hit 'fellow man. Am# yet, at merchant*, landlords or other creditors, do we not often allow a tenant or a customer to get into debt to such an extent that the debtor can never possibly catch up enough to pay? out and ia this not Working a hardship on hiro as much or more than refusing credit altogether? . Almost* as many people have gone bankrupt by securing too much" credit as those that have been unable to secure credit at all. Credit has been in the past few years the cheapest commodity in the country, to the detriment of hundreds of thousands, Therefore, as we h^ye said in other previous articles on this same ?ubject, the extensiorv of credit should be carefully considered in the first place and a very definite limit put on the accounts so that both debtor and creditor understand each other perfectly. Then when the account becomes due, the same should be collected at that time. The best time to collect any account is the time it is due?not sooner or later, In other 'words what we mean is that in justice to both creditor and debtor that accounts should be limited to amounts well known to be within the power of the debtor to pay and not to be allowed to grow to a size that discourages or disheartens him and in the end both parties will be better as often when accounts become too large the customer quits buying and takes his cash trade elseWhore and then is lost the account and THe customer" at one time. In a duel with fifteen shots .fired, Chief of Police W. A. Hayes was killed at Kllenton by a negro he was trying to arrest and killed before the officer died. The negro, named Brown, was inside a house and was wanted for shooting another negro. Chief Hayes was 62 years old, a native of Allendale, and had been chief at Barnwell before going to the Ellcnton post five years ngo. Alfalfa Bill Murray entered Greenville, en route from Columbia to Asheville, in a dilapidated automobile with steaming radiator, and was met at the city limits by the Greenville mayor and other city officials in a new Pierce-Arrow 8c-dan, and escorted through the city by an escort of motor policemen. South Carolina paid internal revenue taxes to Uncle Sam amounting to $1,800,647 in 1931. Now York paid the most, $502,321,679, with I North Carolina second at $251,819,908.

Lylcs, prominent lawyer of this state, died at his home in Columbia aged 79 years, and the funeral Sunday was a - large and impressive one. Ho was a former president of the state bar association, the oldest member and senior deacon of the First Baptist church, and had much to do with the commercial development of Columbia in former years. He was born on a Fairfield county plantation, scion of several of the oldest families of this state, one ancestor being the first white child born in Fairfield district. His father, William Strother Lyles, was a member of the secession convention and a signer of teh ordinance. William H.

C.^Jun. wire to The Chronicle)?My amendment to finance reconstruction bill providing fifty million dollars to aid farmers for crop production purposes in 1982 was finally passed by Congress this afternoon and has gone to the President /or his slgnattojre. The amendment is so worded that in addition to fifty million dollars, the amount may be increased up to two hundred million dollars if the emergency requires. The, money will be loaned direct to farmers in same manner aa seed loan funds have been administered for past three years and has no connection whatever with agricultural. cfedit corporations, livestock credit corporations or intermediate credit bank. " I am proud of the j fact that this makes the fourth year that I have been instrumental in aid^ . ing distressed farmers. E. D. Smith, United States Senate. Washing-ton, Jan. 22.?A tyjpe of farm relief never heard of before? direct financing of crops for the farmer who has .neither collateral nor ( credit?will be undertaken by the department of agriculture under the $50,000,000 Smith amendment to the reconstruction corporation bill. Senate and house conferees accept- , ed the "rider" by . Senator Smith, 1 Democrat, South Carolina, during their last hours of work on the gov- , ernment's giant credit machine in preference to the house measure 1 which would have distributed the { fund through the customary fqrm loan agencies. , V It means that as soon as congress .? appropriates the $500,000,000 for loans to the nation's financial institutions, $50,000,000 of it will become immediately available to the secretar y of"agrlcul tlire' 1#*"Tend as he sees fit to that vast army of farmers , in distressed areas who nlways have \ been cut off from federal assistance \ because they had not tho physical , property to guarantee repayment. There is only one requirement? 1 the farmer so assisted shall give the i government a first lien on the crop I to be planted. He will not need to go to a local credit association. His loan will come directly from the department of agriculture and 1 when his crop is sold, the government will take back the amount of the loan from the first money >jreceived. j _ The fund -will be administered somewhat on the principle~of the appropriations for drought and storm swept regions. Senator Smith sees in it the eventual possibility of a permanent revolving fund supplementing or perhaps supplanting the almost annual storm and drought relief bills. The main thing right now, he says, is to get funds into the hands of destitute farmers whose banks or merchants have cut off their credit and who face* the spring planting season without a dbllar. To him, it is a question of financing their selfhelp Q.r allowing them to become a burden on society through no fault of their own. Loans from the $50,000,000 will not be made to farmers who possibly, can get help from any other source. The Duke Power company magazine announces that in 1931, 134 new industrial plants were established in the Piedmont of the two CarolinaB, of which G4 were by new comers, while 70 were additions to older plants. There are 37 hosiery and 34 textile plants in the list, with 21 new food and feed industries, 19 of them entirely new to these parts. Among the places getting thsee improvements are Greenville, with eight new plants last year, Spartanburg, Anderson, Taylorsville, Chester, NinetySix. Lyman.

The board of county commissioners of Horry county asked Governor Blackwood to remove Supervisor A. C. Mur^ell,' charging official misconduct especially in management of the chain gang.

Le Master, prominent furniture dealer of Gaffney, expressed his thanks to the 30 people who volunteered to furnish blood for transfusion when he needed it this week. A pint was used from Sumter Weathers, a boy, and the patient was improved at once. On Wednesday 16 new anti-rabies treatments were givehthat many persons at Greenville.
