""" A BANKER'S ADVICE
Merchants who 4ft not advertise arc
invited to road \tho following from
Tho Ame rican Muga/me. It
will glyi a new ?|ft| on tjioir business
aiul at ... help tlx' town:
? "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.

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

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.

Special Dividend
J. C. Penney Co.
At a meeting of the Board of Directors
held January Oth, the J. C.
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.
