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

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,

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

of this state, died at his home in

Sunday was a - large and impressive
one. Ho was a former president
of the state bar association, the

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

$50,000,000 Loans
For Crop Production
Washington, D. 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.

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.
