THE CAMDEN CHRONICLE ^ 0 '^* T- ^ ^ ^ ***" ^* H. I). NILK8 .

Friday, June 24, 1932 Stevennon Called In Conference The Washington Post of Juno 19 carries the following on its frontpage in reference to Congressman W. F. .Stevenson of this district: "An opening wedge in the deadlock controversy was sought lust night by President Hoover at a conference with leaders of the Houso hanking committee, hut no conclusions were poached. "After the 'Senate and House- hud , battled through the day over the two remaining obstacles to adjournment aid for the unemployed and governmental economy?-Mr. Hoover called the night conference at the White House. Those attending were Chairman iSteagall, of the House banking 4 committee, and Representatives 'Stevenson (Democrat), South Carolinu; Strong (Republican), 'Kansas, and Luce (Republican), Massachusetts." More Sweet Potatoes Farmers of Kershaw county should take advantage of the preser^, low price of sweet potato plants and put out another good sized patch of this splendid food crop. It is hard to get too much food and feed on hand during times like this. The South Carolinu Plant Com puny at COnway, S. C-, is oifering potato plants at 40 cents per 1,000 at iConway. Other concerns may sell them just as cheap,. I cannot impress too strongly the great importance and necessity for producing an abundance of f??d and feed on our farms this year. P am advising this.only after careful study of the economic conditions at present and the outlook for the future. W ise farmers will take heed and producers much of their food and feed as possible this year. In putting out these extra potato plants it would be well* to put some potash under them in larger quantities than is commonly practiced,, advises Henry I). Green, county agent. Newspaper Subscription Prices, For the subscriber the difference between a newspaper at $2.00 a jrear or at $1.50 a year is less than one cent a week. In the course of a year it means to him only the cost of Ave ten cent cigars. To the publisher of a weekly newspaper with 1,000 circulation the difference between a $2.00 subscription price or a $1.50 price means $500.00 u year. That $500 may very well mean the difference between a newspaper or no newspaper; the difference between a profitable business Or an unprofitable business; the difference between a comfortable living for the puhlishei' and his family or a mere existence. In 11* 1 1 the general price of country weekly newspapers was $1.50 a year. At that time the country pubisher was buying newsprint for about three cents a pound in ton lots. Today he is paying one cent a pound ' flat for postage. Today he pays one and one-balf cents on the reading matter content of his paper and zone rates on the advertising. At that time he was paying $12.00 to $20.00 a week for printers. Today he pays anywhere from $20.00 to $40.00 for printers. There are but few items that enter into the production of a newspaper that do not cost anywhere from 25 to 100 per cent more now than the same items cost in 1914. Country newspaper subscription prices have not been increased in anything like the proportion that newspaper production costs have increased. The greatest bargain the public is offered today is the hotneowned weekly newspaper, and no subscriber who really wants the paper is K'ung io stop his subscription because hf must pay four cents instead of ' c<rit.- a week foi :!.

Mrs. Dolly Gann, sister of Vice President Curtis, won a signal social victory in the Republican convention! when her brother was again nominated for the vice presidency. It was frequently alleged that Mrs. Nicholas I-ongworth was fighting Mr. Curtis with the idea of putting Mrs, Gann off the social throne in Washington. With $5,000 surplus in its treasury, the town of Fairburn, Ga., will not collect any taxes this year for mum- 1 cipal purposes. KKKl' OUT OF POLITICS ___ * ' P. i . in ii tmmmmm <, Federal Employee* Warned That Act' ivity May Coat Them Their Joba u*~"" Washington, June 21.-^Kdda?al am| ployeea were warned by the civil service commission today to obey its rules not to take an active part in political campaigns or face the poaail.ility of losing their jobs. The commission, aroused by .political activities of groupjj of federal employes, called to the nttention of all of them loiig standing rules prohibiting participation in politics and told thorn/each individual would be held responsible for the actvities of any organization to which he or she belonged. "To make u public attack on a can' didate for public office is to take an active part in a political campaign, the commission said in its statement. "Such action is a violation of civil service rule 1 and may subject the offending employee to separation from the public service. Iff the attack is made by the point action of several employees, the guilt is still personal and attaches to each employee separately and severally for the purpose of tho administration of the civil service law." At the commission it was said that one organization of federal employes had sent a circular letter to other associations of government workers and the American Federation of Labor urging the members to "work against re-election of congressmen they believed to be unfriendly to their cause." This case now is under consideration by the commission. The rules of the commission have been in effect for years, the statement said, adding that it was childish to assume that the protective provisions of the law could "outlive the full und impartial enforcement of its restrictive provisions." At the commission it was said there had been unusual political activity during the present session of congress by groups and individuals employed by the gpvernment. There are four outstanding organizations of federal workers, the Federation of Federal Employes, PostofTice Clerks and Carriers, Railway Postal Clerks and Rural Carriers. In addition there are some minor organizations. Good Advice For Safe Fourth This year most of the natidn will celebrate the fourth of Tuly with a three-day holiday. Such a long period for recreation is awaited eagerly 1 by us all. Yet its unusual length ( doubles the hazards and danger to which we will be exposed. Independence Day is known as the worst accident day of the year. This year may break the tragic record un- , less everyone guards himself closely j and observes all safety rules. A list , of "don'ts," nil excellent advice, has j been prepared by the National Bu- ( roau of Casualty and Surety Under- , writers and follows: ] If you drive your car?Drive Safe- | ly: Don't drive recklessly?it s a long ( holiday and there's plenty of time. j Don't take out your car unless it , is in first-class condition. .1 Don't drive on the wrong side of ] the road?keep to the right. , Don't drive too long without Test- ^ ing?mental lapses due to fatigue cause accidents. Don't pass other cars unless you have a clear view ahead; don't cut | in and out of traffic lines; don't pajs ] or fail to slow down at intersections. ] If you go swimming?Swim :Safciy: i Don't attempt marathon races by : swimming too long or too far. , Don't venture out into too deep water if you're not a strong swimmer.

The interstate commerce commi3- 1 sion has ordei^d the Seaboard Air ' Line railroad to abandon 41.6 miles 1 of line between Archer and Cedar i Key, Florida. t I Farmers Advised To Economize Our farmers should ba very careful in making expenditures for anything at all at this iltqe. Only purchases for absolutely the negessary things which are certain to bring profitable returns should be considered now. One of the best ways for a farmer to reduce expenses and expenditures is for him to adhere strictly to a program of producing on his farm all of his supplies, food and feed, which he finds practical to produce. Indications are that conditions will continue along the preterit basis for some time to come j^Td it is evident that the farmer will'have?very little cash money to come into his hands. Our farmer can also help himself in u largo measure (by producing on his farm as much stable manure and compost as possible. This is all the more necessary when we realize that we will in all probability be without funds next spring when we go to buy fertilizer. 'More attention should be paid to the hauling of litter from the woods ipto the lot' and stables and the saving and scattering of manure before it is left long enough to heat and allow the ammonia to escape as gaB. * Many of our farmers should either tear down the present fences around their garden and make them 2 or 3 times their present size or else select a new fertile place for a bigger garden and plant an abundance of all vegetables which will grow in this section. Let's stop and think two or three times before we spend any more money for things that are not absolutely necessary at this time. DEPRESSION By Amicus Depression! Depression!

The new rates become effective at 12:01 A. M. July 6. A letter which heretofore has been delivered fqr two cents will require t^ree cent* in stamps. Postal card charges are the same?-one cent?except in cases where reply cards are included. Four cents must be guaranteed for delivery of business letters without stamps. The charge at present is three cents.. In his letter to postmasters and postoffice employees throughout the United States, W. Irving Glover, second assistant postmaster said: "The department is in receipt of numerous reports that on account of the increase in postago rates individuals and companies1 are planning to make deliveries under contract or on a piece-work basis of monthly bills, statements, etc., for 'business concerns. "As the private express statutes (sections 1256-1271 Postal Laws and Regulations) give the federal government the monopoly on tho business of carrying letters, the proposed method of handling these bills, etc., is in violation of the law. "All postmasters and other employes of the department are directed to promptly report to this office any cases of this nature coming to their attention." Complete Unknown's Totnb At a cost of $400,000 the tomb of the Unknown .Soldier at Arlington cemetery has finally been completed. The increased height was necessary to keep sightseers from sitting on it, and the sculpturing is for finishing effect. The completed sarcophagus is 11 feet high and nine feet wide, and ){ white marble to match the glistening amphitheater to the rear.

Today vacant was the throne he ivas reputed to have reared on labor racketeering, terrorism, 1 bombings ind a multitude of crimes of vioence.
