No More Crop Loans
For This Season;
Government Field Inspector, K. 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.
Let us hope that our ;>eoplo wi.l

Heiress' Mate
To Serve Term
Richmond, Va., May U.-?-The United!
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.

TwoJmHctments
Against Means
Washington, May 10.-"-Gaston D.
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."

A Japanese marine patrol invaded
the United States defense sector of
the international settlement at Shanghai

protests and indiscriminately attacked
Chinese civilians, claiming they were
on the hunt for Chinese who were
hurling stones at Japanese soldiers

battalion of United States troops of
the 31st infantry and forced to retire.
