Kershaw Citizen Passes Suddenly J list before going to press we learn j that .1. M.

Rev. \N . .1. Bradley, who is in the ho-pi'al at Camden. J Mr. Hilton. was-born and reaiedj in the Flat Creek section of l,ancas-j ter lounty, where he was engaged in j farming and merchandising, serving 1 also as postmaster at the Flat < reek post off feu before removing to Kershaw to make his home here. During his residence in Kershaw he had continued his farming operations and merchandising, being first with the Cook, tfstridge Company, afterward in general merchandising business for himself in the store room now occupied by Cook & Love, from which he retired to move with his family back 10 his old home, place for a time. Later he returned to Kershaw and opened u five and ten cents store in which he was still engaged when the end came. Mr. Hilton was one of Kershaw's most exemplary citizens in his life, V ng a consistent member of the Baptist church, and it was after his rcMi'-n from prayer meeting service n \V-dr.<-day right of la-t week that] h^wa- -trieken with paraly-1 - after > .,? t he night ami fJ en wh h . .rain ..:i - u>u -10 - -.

There is in evidence here today a touch of the "beautiful snow," the first of the season. With ' one raised in the South the"hope arises lhat it rtiight be the last. It is a nuisance, and to the poorer classes, a Hardship. ? . In the voting last Tuesday the necessary number of states was reached to insure the removal, of the eighteenth amendment from the constitution of the United States, Although nothing will be accomplished thereby, the proponents of national piyhibitioitSfin the two Carolinas did themselves proud by ^carrying each state against repeal. This situation is liable to cause a revival of an old historic remark, familiar to many, but par haps not to all of the readers of this paper, so that it may bear 'repetition here. As the tale goes, at a conference between the executives of the two states mentioned, lengthy discussion was indulged in regarding the issues under consideration, and- nearing the conclusion the Governor of South Carolina, summarizing his contentions in an exhaustive, manner indicated that it was time for the Governor of North Carolina to finally express his opinion, '^bchatter, having become weary, did soro the effect that he considered it "a d d long time between drinks." 4 * * * In New York City last week the contest for mayor resulted in the election of a Republican who also had the fusion endorsement, whatever that may mean. This result was insured by the entry of an independent Democratic ticked, calling itself the "nevV deal," and asking support as an cndorsemeift of the national administration. it seems strange for [bolters, to seek endorsement of anybody except themselves. * * * It is stated by a high legal'authdrjity that the overwhelming weight of decisions of the. United States Supreme Court in the past is against the constitutionality of the national recovery art. It may he upheld, in case it reaches the highest court, in i-view of the fact that it is emergency legislation, authorized for onljf two years, and which may be terminated within a shorter length of time, at the discretion of the President or congress. It is believed also that consideration will be given to the fact that the needs and condition of the country required extraordinary laws. In ease of an adverse decision by the Supremo Court, there would still be an effective method in the hands of the President and the Democratic Congress, by means of a reorganization of the Court, with ;i view of a reversal of the opinion. Five of the nine justices are now past seventy and a law could be passed making retirement compulsory at that age. That would open the way for the appointment of now members, known to he liberal and in sympathy with the times. Such a method would he open to criticism, and doubtless would be adopted only as a lust resort. However. President Roosevelt has the sentiment of the nation behind him and would not be disposed to tolerate a half in his ' efforts for recovery. Shortly after the Civil War the Republican party resorted to a somewhat similar method, by enlarging the CoOrt, so as to secure desired decisions. The elections held last -week resulted in no very special significance. On the whole the Democrats met with more successes than defeats, and in no instance is there any display of a rebuff to President Roosevelt. In Pittsburgh and in the rock-ribbed Republican city of Philadelphia Democratic mayors were elected for the first time in a long numboi of ycais. In the last named city, with perhapthe ino-t corrupt municipal government 111 ttie world, the overturn was comp s-hed with the a.'i of re-pect.L;. lb : ub'.;. an v..lev-.

It was disclosed tonight that a tentative commitment of $37,000,000 from the Reconstruction corporation had been arranged. The loans will be made through the Commodity Credit corporation.' HejLaUs of the plan arfcfcexpected to bo completed' within .Urn days, but it is intended to make possible loans of four cents a pound on more than 2/200,000 bales. This is the third of the ^lajor farm loan programs being arranged through the .Commodity corporation, ,the newest of the government's financial agencies. It is now making loans of 10 cents a pound on actual cotton held by farmers and will soon begin making loans of 45 cents a bushel on corn. The cotton loan prpgram now under way involves a potential volume of $300,000,000, while the corn program Involves about $200,000,006. In the case of both cotton and corn loans, the borrowers are required to join the government's production control campaign. Government officials assert that, with production control, higher prices in the future are "certain" and that the loans are secure. , They regard this loan program -as being in a different category from the farm board's stabilization efforts, in which the board acquired a large amount of cotton and wheat in its price-pegging, efforts. The board bad no means of limiting production. When the government's cotton plow-up campaign was started, farmers were offered two methods of pa y metft. Ofic was a flat rental for the land taken out of cultivation with rate of payments varying according to post yields of the land. The second was a lower rental plus an option on government cotton equal to the amount of the estimated yield of the land put to the plow. The farmer obtaining, an option was credited with having paid six cents , a pound for it.' If cotton represented by the option evi ntually was sold at a figure above six cents, that margin would represent a profit to the farmer. .Mere than half the farmers joining itr-t-he plan elected the combination optionrental method of payment, with 'the volume of options totaling more than 2.200.000 hales. Delivery of the options has been withheld by farm officials, who have nearly completed payment of $111,000.000 in cash rentals to faimeis joining in their program. As a result of nori-deilvery, the farmers have had no opportunity to exercise them. Under the new loan plan expectations are that few will exercise their options if they can obtain a loan of four cents a pound while cotton is soiling below tefr cents at market. Should cotton continue to sell below ten cents, the farmer making a loan on his option would be realizing four cents a pound or the same amount as he would if he ordered his option cotton sold at 10 cents a pound and was able to get it. < It was reported tonight that il the Reconstruction corporation's tentative commitment of $*7,000,000 was not sufficient, the Commodity corporation would seek additional funds.

State constables fourtd the body of the man, ,W. S. Chesteine, lying inside the house after they had hurled two tear gas bombs within, thinking that he was still alive. The slain girl, Mavis, eldest child of the family, was shot several times. A younger daughter escaped by hiding behind an oak tree. Two sons were also wounded as they ran from the house. One of them, shot through the abdomen, was not expected to recover, while the other was not in a serious condition. The t\yo boys were taken to a hospital in Augusta, Ga. Coroner J. T. Tarver said tonight an inquest would not be necessary. Chesteine's wife, who also works in a local mill, was at work when the shooting occurred. Neighbors, moused by screams and the sound yt pis|ql shots coming from the Chesteine home, said they saw Chesteine, standing on the porch, fire at ,<he children as they dashed from the house. State constables hurled tear gas bombs into the house before entering in an attempt to subdue the killer. > But when only silence came ^rom within, they went inside and found Chesteine's body lying 011 the floor, and his pistol a few feet away. Three firemen were hurt when fire destroyed a fertilizer plant and other property at Norfolk, Va., with a $.'50,* 000 property loss.
