'111K CHAMPION MISKK
Zumbel Kosman, retired dry goods
merchant, of Eeroy, New York, died
in a hospital in liataviu after a short
illness caused by pneumonia. Ordinarily
this announcement would not be
of great interest. Hut Kosman was
a miker, posing as broke, and
V same time had concealed in a trunkj
$10,000 in cash, $13,000 in bonds and
other securities said to total around j
ijteoo,000. Kosman is probably the
champion miser of all times. 1 he |
Leroy Chuette-Ncwn, published in j
Kosman's home town, has this to say
of him:
"Mr. Kosman was of a quiet, ictiring
disposition. It now develops
that his one pleasure in life was the
hoarding of money. He might nacc
traveled and enjoyed many of- the
good things of this world. There was
no reason why ho should not have
maintained for himself a comfortable
home, yet he preferred to hoard his
money. Respite his obsession for
hoarding money, Mr. Kosman never
seemed at all exercised about the custodianship
of it. The trunk in which
was found about $75,000 had been
moved about LeRoy several times bj
different cartmcn and according to j
one of them Mr. Kosman never show-1
off any concern over it. A man who,
knew him when he conducted the j
store said that it was customary for,
Mr. Kosman to keep between $2,000
and $3,000 in currency in his room
quite all the time."
rater on the kocks
li js*ea>ily imaginable these day*
that weekly newspapers are having4
tough sledding. The path is not rosy j
under normal conditions. It is ,L"|
mark able that, during this rotten
panic, so few have turned up their,
toes to the daisies. It was surpris- j
ing to learn that The Manning Times
is floundering under the heavy hand]
of big creditors. There are many j
far better weeklies to read, but re- j
port bad it that its job printing business
was immense, says The Calhoun
Times.
And so it was. We are told that
it and nearby concerns of its kind are
turning out job printing at just about
Cost price. Many another shop could
do the same thing, if they would let
the wholesale paper dealer bear the
burden. They are not only putting
themselves, out of business, but crippling
those who ai.e trying to keep
going at a small margin of profit in
keeping with the times.
why not trade moke
These times it behooves one to I
make tim best ot conditAnd,
since money seems to be the scarcest
of all things, why cannot many pc-p e .
pay. or trade in kind'.' If you h.ivej
a load of wood and flic editor has no:
wood, yet you are a subscriber, why
not pay your sul?soription in wood .
That is just what we have been do-ing
for several years. It occurs to
us that this idea could be carried to
quite a considerable extent, farmers
who have wood, corn, chickens and
eggs, but no money, might trade in
kind to pay the druggist, physician.,
lawyer aiul oven merchant. It often
happens that one farmer has more
meat than he can uso or sell, who
might trade with his neighbor for
corn, oats or something that would
he just as valuable as the money.
One thing about trading in kind is
this: it cuts out the middleman.

Capital Observations
(Special ('orreapomlence)
Washington, Jan. 24."?In 1 be
| Chronicle of last week there whs published
an article concerning a proposal
of a member of the legislature of
North Dakota for the secession of
thirty-nine states from nine comprising
New England, Now York, Pennsylvania
and New Jersey. Since the
tragic effort of the South to secede
in the early sixties the question has
been considered absolutely and irrevocably
settled. However, the North
Dakota proposition is interesting because
of the reason advanced, that
Wall Street interests ure seeking "to
obtain absolute control of the balance
of the Union, which they have looted
through the. tariff system*- This
would indicate that the West is
reaching a conclusion, long realized
in the.South, regarding the special
favoritism and benefits conferred upon
New England and the Kustqrn
states by the operation of the tariff.
An extra session of Congress is regarded
practically as a certainty now,
because of the inability of the Democratic
leaders to secure the enactment
of desired legislation. Entire control
is not in their hands, and the prospect
of further vetoes on the part of
President Hoover has to bo considered.
It is likely that the now congross
will 1m> called to meet the middle
of April.
For the second time during this
sos-ion a resolution to impeach President
Hoover for "high crimes and
misdemeanors" was introduced in the
house of representatives by Congressman
McFadden", Republican, of.
Pennsylvania, last week. 'Too principal
charge was the alleged derelie- ^
of the chief executive in inter-i
national diplomacy and war debts.
I.r-s than a dozen members, eleven]
to be exact, voted for the resolution.
,LV?,^ 'i 111 were representative
Stevenson and Casque of South ( ai-,
olina. While the proposal was not!
taken seriously, nevertheless the re-j
cords will show in the future that an j
effort was made to impeach Hoover,
the only instance involving a president.
except that in the case of Andrew
Johnson.
Humor continues to connect the
name of Bernard M. Baruch with a
portfolio in the Roosevelt cabinet,
particularly that of secretary of the
treasury. He is deemed to be capable
of filling any position except that
of attorney general, as he is not a
lawyer. No intimation has yet come
from the president-elect concerning
his cabinet.
Another amendment has been approved
by the legislature of a sufficient
number of States, thirty-six, in
order for it to become a part of the
constitution of the United States.
South Carolina is among those that
have already given endorsement, and
it is likely that all of the remaining
-dates will do likewise, as the step
taken is entirely in the interest of
gimd government ar.d orderly procedure.
This is the twentieth and is
gi nerelly referred to as the "lame
duck" amendment, because it eliminates
the short session, which is the
last of each congress, in which representatives
and senators have participated
after being defeated or declining
to run.. Another feature is that
filibustering will be impractical. This
is a custom engages! in by Senators
towards the end of the short session
of talking indefinitely, holding the
floor and preventing other business,
with a view of securing concessions
before the time for Congress to adjourn
on the fourth of March. Hereafter
Congress, including the members
elected in November, will meet
on the third of January and continue
until adjournment is agreed upon.
The president will be inaugurated on
the twentieth of January in the future.
An adverse vote in the House of
i Representatives, which was all that
; was necessary, blocks the wholesale
reorganization and transfers in the
government service proposed to be

ECONOMIC HIGHLIGHTS
Ah tho yvur gets under way, business
shows a determination to bal- j
awe budgets und make both ends
meet. Now retrenchment is anticipated.
Heavy industries are ill aluggUh.
Surpluses 'of raw materials are formidable,
with stocks of finished goods
low. This over-supply of raw materials,
plus reduced buying power, (larkens
tho business picture at present.
Best idgn is the mental attitude of <
business? it is entering the new year
with more real morale and honest
confidence than for several years past.
Securities and commodities, of late,
have shown considerable strength
and the fact that depression has
forced on industry a new meaning of |
efficiency should cause earnings to
jump fast when the turn comes.
Fxpeclalions are for better grain
prices in 1933, unless production is
heavily increased. The winter wheat
crop is forecast at 400,000,000 bushels,
smallest sowing since 1023. The
cotton crop is expected to total 24,000,000
bales, smallest in five years.
Livestock market and price level
reported firm.
Raw steel output in 1932 was 13,000,000
tons, lowest since 1900. Steel
mills operated on an average of 19.41
per cent of capacity.
Heavy engineering construction
contracts for the last week of year
rose to $38,329,000, a weekly figure
surpassed but, twice during 1932.
Confidence is expressed that oil industry
is at last working out of depression.
Supply has balanced demand,
a relative degree of price stability
has been reached. Since 1930
crude inventories have been reduced,
by 88,000.000 barrels.
Shipping men look to future with j
hope, as result of Sixth National
Merchant Marine Conference. High
government officials favoring continuance
of Federal aid for maintenance |
and protection of the Merchant Marine.
New official figures show that copper
production in 1932 was about onehalf
of 1931, and that refinery production
was 54 per cent lower.
Full-fashioned Hosiery Manufacturers
Association of America, Inc.,
favors 30-hour work week, and bill
limiting operation of any equipment
in excess of 12 hours per day.
The rail wage controversy grows
steadily more intense. The $200,000,000
deficit incurred by Class I lines
last year has made drastic economy
unavoidable, and it is believed that
wage cutting is one of the few possible
ways to achieve this.
Automobile Interests prepared to
make a strong bid for better business
this year. They point to the
new low price levels, the improved
products and the obsolescence of so
many cars now in use as justification
for optimism.
Congressional loaders of both parties
now considering advisability of
broadening powers of the R. F. C.
to give it wider discretionary authority
in making loans to railroads for
their immediate jjecds.
In general, Canadian business conditions
show no improvement. Centra!
American situation improved due
to exports of new coffee .crop. Chilean
situation somewhat less optimistic,
with manufacturers reducing output.
Confidence reviving in Italy,
largely due to successful crops, fairly
stable employment and improvement
in some industries. In Mexico improvements
of early fall are continuing.
Philippine export trade continues
stagnant^ Sweden showing encouraging
increase in exports; however,
prices are lower and exchange
unfavorable. Abandonment of the
gold standard by the Union of South
Africa has virtually suspended foreign
business, while domestic trade
is buoyant and gold mining shares
have registered rapid rises.

Important Fertilizer
Meeting January 31
Arrangement* have just been definitely
made by county agent Green to
secure the services of Dr. R. W. Hamilton,
of Olemson college, to conduct
a fertilizer meeting in Camden at
the court house Tuesday, January 81,
10:30 a. m. l>r. Hamilton is re&ojjnixed
as probably the greatest authority
on fertilizer in this state. : Farmers
of Kershaw county have found
his suggestions regarding the use of
fertilizers to be very valuable and
each year the annual fertilizer meeting
which he has held in cooperation
with the county agent have been attended
by larger and larger audiences
of farmers from this county.
In this meeting this year, Mr. Hamilton
ovill discuss methods whereby
the farmer that has no money with
which to fertilize may get the best
yields from his crops; whether or not
a farmer should use cotton sded as
a fertilizer, swap for meal or sell
seed and buy mineral ammonia;
whether or not soda or sulphate
should be used; what materials to buy
where money is limited in order to get
the greatest yields per dollar increased
in fertilizer; and the adjustment
of fertilizer to the needs of
various plants growing on particular
types of soil.
Our soils are very much depleted
in plant food. We do not have money
with which to purchase much plant
food in commercial forms, yet our
farmers must make at least a living I
from these soils this year. The sole
object of these meetings is to give
our farmers information so that they
may get the maximum yield per acre
of crops with the expenditure of a
minimum amount of money.
Last fall a lot of our farmers following
the advice of the county agent
planted Austrian peas and some
vetch, a total of 55,000 pounds on t^nproximately
3,000 acres. The form?
-o
lzer requirements this year of these
farmers who planted these winter legume
cover crops will he greatly different
from their needs in former
years and it is urged that these
farmers also attend this important
meeting.
No farmer in Kershaw county who
intends to operate in 1933 can afford
to miss this meeting. It means dollars
and cents to him to a certain
degree. It means happiness or sadness
to him and his folks because at
this meeting many of our farmers will
learn how to save a few dollars and I
how to make bigger crops with whatever
fertilizer or whatever home fertilizing
materials he may have. This
meeting will have a direct bearing on
the success or failure of our farmers
;?his year and I take this opportunity
; to urge all of the farm people of Ker;
.-haw county as I have never urged
them before to take advantage of this
i opportunity and attend this meeting.
; I suggest that the larger landowners
J take particular pains to see that every
farmer on their plantations, both
white ami colored, attend this meet-*,
ing. 1 also urge that every other
farmer, large and small, landowner
and tenant, white and colored, attend
this meeting. In fact, it is one of
the most important meetings for our
people that we have had or will have.
To give some idea of my conception
of the importance of this meeting I
think that we sihould have the court
house overflowing with farm people
on this occasion.
I also strongly urge that the school
teachers, trustees, county board of directors
and legislative delegation, and
all other lenders in the county do
everything they can to have this
meeting well attended and I request
that those who see this notice speak
to their neighbors urging them to
attend.
Finally, to the people of the county
I wish to say that this meeting is
of vital importance to you and I ask
you to cooperate with us and make
arrangements whereby you will not
| fail to attend, requests Henry D.
Green, the county agent.
