CJ.j Carson, whoso territory in this statp; comprise* Kershaw county, for thol tfclrop Production Loan Office of the Washington Region announces thati no more applications for 1P82 Crop Production Loans will ho considered from this section inasmuch as the time for applying for these loans expired last Saturday, April HOth. plenty of time was given the farmers to make application for crop loans; in fact, the time limit for tiling applications was fixed at a later date this year than heretofore. Accompanying this information from Washington is also the announcement that loan checks covering second installments are now being mailed to all farmers whose loans were approved,1 but only to those farmers who have mailed to the Crop Production Loan Office, Washington, I). C.? their report curds as to what disposition they made of the proceeds of the first Crop Production Loan checks received by them. In this connection it will be interesting to learn that a large number of farmers have not Mailed their report cards to the Crop Production Loan Office, which Indicates that many of them for various reasons do not need the second installment of the loan made to them. Possibly, in many instances this is on account of the requirement to reduce their cotton, tobacco and peanut acreage to sixty-five ix*r cent of the acreage planted to these crops last year. A corps of field inspectors is employed by the government to make close inspections from time to time of the farms where crop loans have been made, using as a basis for their < investigations the information on the report forms which accompanied the first checks. The information given by the farmers in the application forms will also serve as a basis for inspection j as each applicant -was required to furnish certain information as to his cropping plans for this year and the < results of his fanning operations in 19.11. Farmers who procured crop loans this year, and are due a second in- < stallment will not receive checks cov-. i ering balance due them until the in-1 < formation required by the government < is furnished on the cards sent them for this purpose. These report cards may be had by applying to the Gov- 1 eminent Field Inspector, It. G. Car- ] son, who makes his headquarters at Camden, S. C., when not out making inspections. The information from Washington to the Government Field Inspector , did not indicate the date on which . the mailing of the second install-^ ment checks would be discontinued L but it was stated, although unofficial- L |y. that the time limit would expire. Saturday, May 21rd. Mr. Carson states that there have; been approximately 1.2nd loans in j I the county under his immediate sup-1' ervision. and hopes that every, effoit will be made by the individual bor-} ( rowers to pay back these loans 100 j 1 per cent. L Upon the record of this community , will depend in a large measure the!, future attitude of the government to- j \ ward crop production loans in this,] area. It is hoped that every individ-j uai w it* make an honest effort to . jny back his loan, and see that hisj, neighbor does the same in order to t preserve the good name of this en-|? tire community. t. The Government Crop Production Loans have been of the greatest help to the farmers in enabling them to} pay cash for fertilizers and supplies.!, All public spirited citizens in each i county should lend every effort to- j, ward seeing that the loans are paid j back from the crops grown so as to maintain the credit standing of this ' oc ti.-n.

States circuit court of appeals hus decided Herbert Wendell Simmons, husband of a wealthy heiress, on whose South Carolina estate he formerly was caretaker, must serve a 22-month prison sentence for alleged prohibition law violations. The circuit court upheld the sentence given Simmons in district court *t Charleston, S. C., w a result of an extensive liquor raid conducted by federal officers last year, near his residence in Jasper county, South Carolina. It also sustained the sentences of three others convicted along with him. They are W. M. Simmons, given a two years' sentence; W. W. Jenkins, 83 months, and A. I>. Chaplin, seven months. Chaplin was sentenced to the Aiken county, South Carolina, jail and the others to the federal penitentiary in Atlanta. Herbert Wendell Simmons and Mrs. Louisa S. Turnure, wealthy niece of Brig. Gen. Cornelius Vanderbilt and a cousin of the Duchess of Roxbury, were married while his case was pending in the courts. After a brief honeymoon they returned to live at the big Turnure estate, near Ridgeland, where previoqjdy he had been caret aker. Mrs. Simmons is the daughter of Mrs. Richard T. Wilson, who is prominent in Newport society*-lapd the widow of the president of the Saratoga Racing association. She and Mr. Simmons we're quietly married at Ridgeland, S. C., soon after she had secured n Reno divorce from Arthur Turnure, United States consul in Prague, Czecho-Slovakia. Evidence at the Simmons' trial purported to show he and nearly 30 other men were indicted as a result of a raid last April year ago, near the Turnure estate. Several trucks and automobiles and 300 cases of liquor were seized. He appealed his case to the circuit court. Camden Attorney in Case Former Judge Mendel I^Smith, of Camden, was retained by the family after conviction in the United States district court in Charleston to represent tin defendant in the United States circuit court of appeals in Richmond. It is said the case will t>o appealed to the United States supreme court. TOWN TOPICS .Most people treat their refrigeritors like red-headed step-children. Vnu have both hands full, out in the lark porch and can't turn on the ight. Having done it before, you unatch the door with your toe or your teeth, and shove the dishes inside jn-r anyway. Next morning the mayonnaise is turned over in the Dowl of stewed fruit, and the leftover salmon salad is neatly molded nto the butter. Not so with Kelvinator.

Means, native of Concord, N. C., and self-styled intermediary in the Lindbergh kidnaping, was indicted today for larceny and embezzlement of $104,000 from Mrs. Edward B. MciA-an, estranged wife of the Washington Post publisher. The District of Columbia grand jury returned two indictments charging the spectacular' ex-convict and former government detective with having fraudulently diverted and secreted a $100,000 "ransom fund" and $4,000 for "exponsotf of the kidnapers." ' Means had been employed by Mrs. McLean to effect return of the kidnaped Charles A. Lindbergh, Jr. He has admitted receiving the $100,000, but maintains that after Mrs. McLean demanded it, he gave it to a mysterious stranger who he believed was un authorized representative of Mrs. McLean. The indictments were read before Justice J tunes M. Proctor in the District of Columbia supreme court. Prosecutors are ready for trial, but some delay is expected to be sought by the defense. Means was jailed last week after a secret investigation by the justice department following (complaint by Mrs. McLean. Means' alleged misappropriation of the $100,000, the indictments charged,.! took place on March 7, a week after Charles Augustus Lindbergh, Jr., was kidnaped. The $4,000 was obtained allegedly on March IK. Government investigators are still without a substantial clue to what actually happened to the money. They have been unable thus far to find any one associated with "negotiations for which Mrs. McLean says he led her on wild-goose chases to South Carolina and the Mexican border. He says the man to whom he gave the money identified himself by whispering "eleven," the number by which Mrs. McLean was called throughout the affair. Each indictment was in two counts, covering the ransom and expense money separately. The first count of the larceny after trust indictment charged that on last March 7 Means "did have in his possession $100,000 in lawful money," which Mrs. McLean had "delivered and entrusted to him for her use. and that Means "did then and there?felonously, unlawfully and fraudulently convert the same to his own use." The second count of this indictment charged Means had $4,000 delivered to him by Mrs. McLean on March IK, and that he converted this sum also to his own use. The embezzlement indictment recited that Means was employed on March 7 "to be . ' . the attorney, agent, clerk ajid servant" of Mrs. McLean, that as such he was entrusted with $100,000, which he "felonously and fraudulently did take, make way with and secrete the same, with intent to convert the same to his own u?e and thereby then and there did embezzle same."
