"No business nift^ "ny town should allow a newspaper published in his town to go without his name and business being mentioned somewhere in its columns. . " ihis doc.s not mean you should have a wholft, HftVf or even | qtnrierpago ad. in each issUe of the paper, |.. but your name and business should "be mentioned if you do not use mpra than u two-line apace. ? "A stranger picking up a newspaper should be able to tell what business is represented in a town by looking at the paper. This, is tho best possible town advertiser.1 the man who does not advertise his busi-v ness does an injustice to himself und the town. "The man who insists on sharing the business that comes to town, but refuses to advertise his own, is not a valuable addition to any town. The life of a town depends on the live, wide-awake and liberal advertising f. H .business man." THOSE I'OOU LITTLE PIGS! It looks now as if those six million piglets died in vain. It was another slaughter of the innocents, which did | nobody any groat good unless it wa^j that big. Had Wolfe, the meat trust.] The pigs got it in the neck; the hog , > raisers found their prices forced still j lower? much of the meat was not lit; for food and so, instead of going to j relieve the hungry, it was turned into r fertile-which can't even be givenaway since everybody is already rais-.j ing too much of everything. The packers, who were expected to pay, fev-. the processing tax. passed it along, and ? declared extra dividends for j ??;:;.. themselves instead. The experiment was worth what it cost?-but it will no doubt be a long lime before such a plan is tried again, j In this country, and all over the world,There is an innate feeling that it is j wicked to destroy foodstuffs at any ; time?and especially at a time when j millions are on the verge of starva- , lion. A policy of. killing off food ani- ! mnls doesn't sound good. There is even a .-trong aversion to plowing up every third row of cotton?when millions of human beings are suffering for lack of this very material. However, as President Cleveland once_said: "It is a condition; not a theory, that confronts us"?hence the nation has to adopt expedients to meet the emergency. Let us hope that within a very short time we shall hear the hist of everything of this sort. LeUus all wish and work ardently for the happy day, nut far "in the future, when product's of every sort will be moving so freely and in such abundance that nobody will be in need and there will be no surpluses piling up to clog the wheels of industry and trade.?Pathfinder.

W. C. SCARBOROUGH. Capital Observations (Special Correeporxiervce) _ Washington, Jan. 10. ? President RooaeVeIt continues pretty close to being monarch of all he surveys, lie is clearly master of the situation, and his political leadership is unimpaired, There have been signs of revolt in Congress, but nothing detrimental to ihe administration h.i- Jj&ftU pli.shrui. There >yae af rathsr rail during the past week when eighty-four Democrat# in the house of representatives voted against a rule which pi evented amendments to the ecpnorny program, but the revolt was unsuccessful. Had the effort u eeadnd it would hUyo opened the way for increases in salary and pensions, which the administration is dou. mined to hold down. The only i:i. ci case proposed so far is one of five per cent return in the pay of Federal employees beginning the first of the next fiscal year, whidh is July, first. The reduction in effect now is fifteen per cent. * ? An announcement which had been expected for- some time was made yesterday of tho administration's proposed change ip tho rational monetary system. 'In a message to Congress the president asked authority to revalue tho dollar in terms of gold, and that the' revaluation be between fifty and sixty per cent of the present statutory value of the dollar. This does not mean that the dollar will not continue to change into 100 cents, but it is merely proposed that the gold content q^f ihe dollar be reduced in the proportion indicated. If the plan goes through and has its desired effect prices \yill go up, and it will take more dollar's to make purchases, the farmer being one of those mainly to profit, as he will get more for his cotton, grain and other products. The increase in prices hps been one of the president's main objectives. Fiscal experts do not expert that. there will be any very .sudden or revolutionary change in conditions but that improvement will come about steadily and perhaps not very rapidly. ' 9 9 9 9 The government has an enormous gold reserve on hand, but since the gold standard was abandoned some months ago, gold cannot be demanded for paper money. There is no intention to increase the amount of paper eu.rrency^by the process known as unrestrained inflation, so that there need be no fear of the dollar losing its purchasing power except to a degree, and for those who have -to buy there will be compensation in the way of increase in the price of what they have to sell, whether it be products, labor or services. To those in debt there will be great benefit by enabling them to pay in dollars of the same or approaching value a* when the debts were incurred. 9 9 9 9 When-the government went off the gold standard a call was made fori the exchange into paper money of J all gold in the hands of corporations i or private individuals, and practically all lias been turned in. The adminj istration's policy includes also taking i over all gold in the possession of Federal Reserve banks, or impounding j it, amounting to $2,5(56,000,000. When this is accomplished the government will profit on the total amount of gold in its possession to tho extent j of tihe <tTfferertce of the valuer of 100 I cents worth of gold in the dollar, and the fifty or sixty cents as contemplated after the change. The total gain will bo in the neighborhood of $1,000,000,000, more or less, according to the exact amount of the value of the gold to be determined upon in the new dollar. It is hold by those in high authority that the government alono should profit from devaluation. Out of these profits the chief j executive has asked that there be set ' up a "stabilization fund" of $2,000,[ 000,0000. "for such purposes and 1 -ales ?.f gold, foreign exchange, and government securities as the regulation of the currency, the maintenance rf ; he eve lit of the government anil the gemral welfare of toe United Slates may require." # # To an extent, the people of South j Carolina are Confronted concerning the liquor question with a situation similar to that which existed in the early nineties. Hen Tillman was then governor, and there had been steadily growing a tendency toward prohibition, so much so that its upholders were probably sufficient in number to make the state dry so far as the legislature was concerned. The governor was opposed, believing that prohibition was neither practicable nor advisable, so he secured the passage of a law abolishing tho saloons and establishing tne dispensary system, first under stato control and later under the control of such counties as favored..it. The dispensary lasted in some counties for about twenty years until the state went dry. The disappearance of tho system resulted because of the increasing xuntiment for prohibition, and to the difficulty of 9 having the dispensaries conducted honestly and without graft. It appears that some members of the present legislature are in favor of again establishing the dispensary system, this being one of several plans advanced. Since the defeat of the eighteenth amendment some counties in Maryland have put into operation dispensaries similar to the old South Carolina system and something S)f the kind is now under consideration in congress for the District of Columbia. but it is not likely to be adopted. M * The president has proposed to conj gre>s legislation guaranteeing the principal as well as interest on farm I mortgage bonds, and a law to that ctTpct is pretty sure of enactment. It is understood that a similar proposal is to be made regarding the bonds of the Home Ix>an corporation, and it will make much easier the floating of the bonds covering loans on farms and residences. It is generally conceded that the relief system adopted by our government is far superior to that of the British. Under our plan work is provided, a Ad some actual beneficial results are secured, while the recipient of the help is enabled to maintain his self respect, and not pose as a mendicant In the British Isles, under the guise of unemployment insurance, an outright dole is given to those unable to get work, and doubtless to a good many who might but who will not, nnrt rt nirn a Tendency TrrenmTTrage idleness. O * % o . Allotment Based On Domestic Cotton Use The Individual ''farm allotment," Which will W oetablLhed for each farm htspught under contract in the ID34-35 cotton adjustment program, will play an important part In determining adjustment payments and should, he thoroughly understood by all grower* according to Homy D. Green, Kershaw county agricultural agent. ' fjptia allotment for each farm is 4Q per cent of the average annual production of cotton on tho farm during the base period, 1MB through 1U32. It is determined exactly by multiplying the average annual number o acres in cotton on tho land in the arm .during the years of this base period by the average annual yield pei" acre during the same years, am ihen taking 40 per cent of this total. For example, jf a grower had an average of 40 acres in cotton for the years of the base period, and if his cotton land yielded an average 01 200 pounds per acre during this period, his average annual cotton production would total 8,000 pounds. Forty per cent of this, or 2,300, | pounds, would be his "farm allotment." f The farm allotment is sot at 40 per cent of the annual production to correspond with the percentage of the national crop which it is estimated was used in the United States during the base period. This 40 per cent of the national crop is the percentage upon which the processing tax can be collectd to furnish funds for rental and parity payments'. , Thet, cotton adjustment contracts guarantee a "parity" payment of not less than one cent a pound on the farm allotment. This meaits a payment of at least one cent a pound, or $5 a bale, on 40 per cent dfr the past average production of cotton on the farm. And this payment is in addition to {he rental payments and to the price the grower gets for his cotton when lie markets it. The "p a r i t y" payments automatically raise the price of the grower's lint by $5 a bale for the amount of the crop which equals the farm allotment, above the market price when the cotton is sold and regardless of what that market price may be. Rotary Club Notes The Rotary Club enjoyed a splendid address by. Rev. J. B. Cos Con at the ! Thursday meeting at the Hotel Camden T V. Walsh had charge of the program. Rev. Caston, a member of the club spoke of the experience we had gained during the past twenty years, dating back at the beginning of the World war. He told of reactions of the battlefields, the wild orgy of spending and making money during the latter part of the war and several years afterwards, the Florida boom, and the stock market boom and then the three years ot depression. Mr. Caston said out ot all of the trying times man has had his heart softened and is in better position to sympathize with those less fortunate in life. The experiences that made poor rich and rich paupqn? has cemented mankind into better understanding, and the willingness to lend a helping hand in times of trouble. The lessons gained frc*n momentous experiences of the ?pfst twenty years will be lasting and will give everyone a more balanced viewpoint of life and a kinder heart. Rotarian I>r. M. H.

Penney Company declared an extra dividend of $1.00 per share on the Common Stock, payable January 30, 1934, to stockholders of record as of January 20, 1934. This dividend was authorized because the generally upward trend in business conditions has been substantially rellected in the company's operation during tho second half of 1933, and because of the present strong financial position of the company. It was the desire of the directors to add in this way to public purchasing power and to support the Recovery Program of the National Administration.
