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 :!. He not:

with the idea of putting Mrs, Gann

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.
Don't swim away from the crowd?

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.

Moves To Guard Mail
Delivery Monopoly
<
Uncle i Sam la planning drastic
steps to forestall competition fcere
and elsewhere in l^ia business of delivering

Acting upon reports that individu-j

establish themselves iji the business
of delivering monthly bill*, state-,
ments and the like hfter the new
three-cent postagp rate becomes effective,
attention, of poatmaeter and
other postal employes to the statutes
prohibiting such activities.
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."
