it looks like i will 'hafter declare
a morytorium on this bblergation for
a yr. or so, as i am compelled to deH
fault it at pressent, just like france
done uncle sam on her war detts.
i had 4$ a few days ago and meant
to put this on the said note, but my
boy sammie who is in colllidge had
to have a new sweater with the letter
B"s" on it, so you missed getting that
Bonner count of him.
bill joncs paid me 3$ in december,
but befoar i could get it to you, the
radio man was down and as i was
behind 3 payments, he got that, i
hate to default on you, but you must
, Bnot forget that the depression is on
down here.
the 2$ i promised you december
went for my darter's silk hoses, as
she was in a play at the charrity
ball called "mephisto" and she winned
the dancing contest and got a nice
vase, could you apply that to the
if times got better and a few folks
pay me what they owe me and samBmie
gets out of collidge, mebbe i can

STUFF FOR STUFFING PURPOSES
.
. . When the present congress geta
thru helping the farmer, he will bo
receiving 5 cents a pound for his
cotton instead of a nickle, ami he
will be selling his wheat for a quarter
a bushel instead of 25 cents; and
everything else he grows will be adu
justed on the 'same basis, or worse.
..The Federal Reserve bank was
created to save the country during
the present crisis, but it hasn't done
anything for the public. Bank failures
are off 20 per cent during the
past 6 months, so they say?George
Washington's family never did die but
once, and after their demise, very
few Washingtonians were left to die.
..I am a wholesale merchant by
trade, ami try to go straight, and
so do most all wholesale merchants
as for that matter. But enough different
kinds of agents and inspectors,
Federal and State, come to our place
(ever and anon) to make a pretty
good sized little army. One man
could easily do tho necessary work
of 10 of these so-called employees,
and the good that he could even do
might easily be crammed into a
gnat's eyeball sideways without making
him wink. We are taxed and
lawed to death, and it's getting so
that very few of us want to stay in
business if there's a chance to get
out without busting out.
..The government won't submit to
a report or a tax return unless it
is deeply shrouded in mystery. The
guy that invented the bl^nk-forms
doesn't even understand them. About
5 per cent of all returns are useless
and create no revenue. But if you
make a return onee, you are doomed
to the task of making them forever
and ever... . whether you are rich or
poor, in jail or the poorhouse, dead
or alive, working or loafing. It takes
as long to make an income ( ?) tax
return to prove that you lost $250.00
as it does to prove that you made
only $500,000 the previous year. Wish
Uncle Sam would swap his red-tape
ideas for something that is simple,
but not as simple as a politician.
..Did you ever try to take an allday
sucker out of a baby's mouth?
And did he holler? You are asking
me. Just wait till that Washington
bunch tries to cut off those SpanishAmerican
and World War pensions.
Why, folks, you ain't heard no fuss
yet. It's mighty easy to swallow a
tack, but^tr-dfi_terribly hard to get
it back.

"Ohio Prison Fire"
Convict Hangs Self
' Columbus, Ohio, Jon. 16.?Clintoff
"Cotton" Grate, 38, the convict who
split the kindling used to start the
Ohio penitentiary Are April 21, 1930,
in which 322 convicts died, hanged
himself today in hie prison cell.
Grate, who in May, 1031, pleaded
he be executed when arraigned in
connection with the Are, was found
dead by a guard making his morning
rounds in the correction cell block.
The man had fashioned a noose
from a sheet so quiotly that none of
his fellow prisoners in the "bad boy"
block knew of his death. He hanged
himself from a bar across the ceiling.
With Grate's death* only one of the
three convicts implicated in the holocaust
remains alive, serving a life
sentence, Another, Jerome Raymond,
who gave officials their llrst chie in
the case, killed himself in a manner
similar to that in which Grade met
death August 21, 1930?four months
to the day after the Are.
High Gibbons, who lighted candles
used to start the blaze in materials
assembled for repair work on a penitentiary
roof, still is alivo. Ho is serving
10 to 25 years for robbing a
Cleveland fur store, after which he
will start a life sentence for his part
in a plot to Are the penitentiary by
which the three hoped to escape.
After long investigation of the prison
Are, Gmte and his confederates
were permitted to plead guilty to second
degree murder. They were sentenced
to life terms without hope of
pardon.
When the investigation was begun
Grate feared Gibbons would "squeal."
He slipped a note to a fellow convict,
with instructions ,to give it to Gibbons.
Instead the note was taken to
Warden Preston EX Thomas.
It read:
"Keep your mouth shut?or else!
But if you hove decided to talk, I
want to know it. When you get back
to mess hall nod your head if you're
going to talk. If you're going to
keep still shake your head when I
look at you. But whatever you do,
let's stick together."
When Grate learned the note bad
been intercepted he asked to see the
county prosecutor, Donald J. Hoskins.
"I split the kindling," Grate said
briefly. "Gibbons lit the match."
Although Grate was a native of
Virginia, he was sent up from Dayton
to serve 20 to 25 y*rs for robbery.
He entered the penitentiary in 1922.
Rock Hill Surgeon
And Republican Dies
Rock Hill, Jan. 19.?A short illness
with pneumonia here brought death
today to Dr. Robert E. Sumner, 48year-old
physician, surgeon and a
leading republican of the Hambright
wing in South Carolina.
Doctor Sumner came hero in 1910
to practice and had been here since
that time. He was a native of
Fletcher, N. C.
Funeral services will be held at
the home tomorrow afternoon and
interment will follow in the Rock Hill
cemetery. .
Influenza he contracted three weeks
ago led to pneumonia which gradually
became worse and the physician
died during the morning.
President-elect Roosevelt was in
Washington yesterday and before
leaving will have a conference with
President Hoover at the White House
at 11 o'clock today. At once on his
arrival yesterday afternoon, he was
called on by a steady stream of Democratic
congressmen/ and other leaders
to outline the legislative situation and
lay plans for the special session of
congress now seen to be inevitable
about April 10 or April 17. The
Japanese Crisis will be the most important
topic between ,the outgoing
and the incoming president today.
The muddled condition of things in
the Democratic house and the Huey
Long fliibuster in the senate which
has created a wide breach between
two parts of the party, are the important
things the Democratic leaders
tried to explain to Mr. Roosevelt, and
why there tmwt be a special session
which he has, been very anxious to
avoid.
The N?W York senate by a vote of
41 to 0 has passed a bill for the appointment
of a commission to prepare
for the sale and tax of beer and
liquor.

Sees Hobson Hilton
A Forceful Speaker
The editor of the Calhoun Times
attended ? joint meeting of the
American Legion and the Legion
Auxiliary held at St. Matthews last
week und hue this to say of llobson
Hilton, the present state commander:
"The big gun of the evening, K. H.
Hilton, l>epurtmont Commander, wis
held for last. He carries an empty
sleeve, and was introduced as having
won hia spurs on the battlefield.
Up to this point it was noticeable
that, with the exception of a single
reference, by FeHx Coudelock, of
Union, nothing was said about allowances,
disability or otherwise.
He eta ted that 30 per cent are now
getting help from the government.
Mr. Hilton, however, smote all critics,
hip and thigh, and pounded the
table to emiphasizo his points. AikI
ho is, when aroused, a capital talker.
He exploded the soft doctrine
that radicalism must not be preached.
With a "forty-parson power" he
rasped tho wild and bruta)| beasts of
Wall Street and tho inC'frrrmtibhal
bankers, for all this propaganda to
dam up the stream of governmental j
help to the veterans. You could almost
see the, blood under tho epidermis
as ho skinned those plutocrats
above. This war, he shouted,
fought largely to wive their money,
spawned 23,000 of these million?
and multi-millionaires, who have
robbed the government out four
billions of dollars in taxes during the
last few years. Five per cent of
their breed own 05 per cent of the j
wealth of tho country, and yet they
are clandestinely and selfishly scheming
to beat the poor ex-service men
out of their just dues. "We propose
to fight them to a finish and we have
the fighting organization to do it."
He also warned Congress that "we
have the strength and propose to use
it."
"There is no mistaking* the fact
that officer Hilton has on the war
paint again, and though without bullets,
his arsenal is abundantly supplied
with lurid logic and a mighty
will to crusade for the cause."
Says Immigration Is
Not Needed in State
There is plenty of land for sale in
this and other counties. Contrary to
reports, there is not much vacant,
that is worth cultivation. The trouble
is there are too many tenants,
unable and unambitious to buy.
Many of these are being eliminated
by machinery and other modern
methods, but increasing the population.
A, man from the lower section
of the county named an old gentleman
about 90 years old, on a 3mule
riding plow, as serene and happy
as a junebug in a fig bush.
The other day I saw a small white
boy with a similar outfit, turning the
soil, on a Saturday afternoon. He
was happy, but as Saturday afternoon
is an universal holiday here on
the farm he would rather have had
the colic than walk between the plow
I ha miles and pull the bell cord over
a single mule.
As boys, we knocked cotton stalks
with big hickory sticks. Cradles
were everywhere, wnth men behind,
I tying up the sheaves. Now, Jim Hill
will cradle, tie and thresh with a
big machine?all in one. The plutocratic
farmers use tractors, thereby
eliminating the mules that eat
the hay and corn, and many laborers
who gulp up the pan cakes, corn
| bread and flour biecuits. Theee are
just illustrations. Many more could
be cited. Then what does anybody
want with immigrant farmers in this
country? In 50 years a panic like
this will be a far greater problem
than now. Where Uncle Sam has
one pauper on his hand there will
be 10, real and imaginary, just as
there are some real, and many more
imaginary, at present. ? Calhoun
Times.
Trouble in the Office
The pencil has made a number of
pointed remarks about the sponge being
soaked all day and the waste
basket being full. The scissors are
cutting up and the paper weight is
trying to hold them down, while the
mucilage is sticking around to see
that the stamps get a good licking.
The ink is well, but appears to be
blue, while Bill is stuck in the file
and the calendar expects to get a
month off. The blotter has been taking
it all in.?Powergrams.

Praises Small Town
And Its Good Bank
The Kershaw Era gives us a peep
into a small town hank survival that
is remarkable. A census report of
1030 does not include Kershaw among
tho towns of tho state with a population
of 1000 or more. Thus it seems
' to bo only a village in a rather poor
county. But a village that can turn
out the Kershaw Era and "The Bank
of Kershaw" is not to bo sneezed at.
It has a paid in capital stoek of $100,000.00.
It owns bonds and stocks of :
value, $122,620.00. Casta on hand
and due from banks $233,264.13. Heal
estate slightly less than $21,000.00.
It has a surplus of $75,000.00. Undivided
profits of nearly $0,000.00.
Check deposits $328,390.00. Time
deposits $236,470.96. It has ml is- '
counted no paper, borrowed nothing
and owes nothing. The most remark- ]
able small town bank record that has |
come to our notice in a long time.?
