12,1171 Hales Allotted To Kershaw County t _. 1,0 > r . . 1 Kershaw county's tentative allotment under the Hankhead bill ha? been placed at 12,371 bales but this will probably bo increased as in making allotments ten per cent is held in reserve for future distribution to farmers who may be left out of the allotment. Cully A. Cobb, chu^. pf the cotton section, said the quotas were established after a careful examination of each county's production record during tho years from 1028- 1932 and represented the maximum figures possible in each case. He added that in case a county was dissatisfied with the quota established, appeals might be taken to the administration within fifteen days. The quotas were calculated in pounds and in terms of standard weight bale of 178 pounds. (>ue to the fact that the Bankbead act specified 500-pound bales, an increase of 100,251 bales was made above the ID.ooi) o<in bale limit set in the act. Within each county individual producers will be required to submit applications for allotments to the county production control committee, showing their record of production during the base period. Blanks for such applications will be sent to counties within a few days, Cobb declared. After individual allotments are made farmers will be issued tax-exemption certificates for the number of bales in each farmer's allotment and at marketing time next fall farmers will be given bale tags for their allotments which must be attached before the cotton can be sold or shipped. All cotton produced in excess "of the allotment will be subject to a tax of 50 per cent of its mnrket value when marketed and if sold must bear a tag indicating that such tax has In-en paid. Allotments by counties are as follows: "Counties Lint Cotton Net Weight Lbs. of Bis. 478 Lbs.

After a day of inspection of the experimental plant here where Dr. > Charles H. Hm? developed the process for making paper from pine logs, the committee decided to employ internationally known paper mill engineers to survey the situation and make a report, The expense .of the survey will be borne by the publishers arid probably will take from six weeks to two months. The engineers have not been named. With specific data on costs and technical details the committee said, if the report was fiyvorublty the un> <lcrwnting of an initial nfill could be effected and the financing arranged, if one proved advantageous others migl)t fojlow. The statement was issued after the committee heard a prediction that a plant to manufacture news print from pine would be established in the south in two years and were told the industry through the "revolving dollar" would bring more than a billion dollars to Dixie annually. James G. Stahlman, publisher of the Nashville (Tenn.) Banner and chairman of the committee, said it was only a matter of "dollars and cents" before the newspapers of the country would tbe using newsprint made in the south and predicted the industry would be under way in 24 months. "Newspaper made from Southern pine meets all the tests of that made from spruce and it probably can be done commercially $6 to $H a ton lower cost. In addition there are other economic factors to be considered and the freight differential in our favor," he said. County Health Contest The County 4-11 Health Contest will be held in the office of the County Health Department next Saturday afternoon, June 30th, at 3:30 o'clock.

THE DIFFERENT AGES OF MAN . .The average man settles down at about 10, and then spends the balence of his life trying to settle up. . .The know-all age is between 19 and U0. The smart-aleck age is between 16 and 17. 'Hie want-to-shave ,age begins about 18. The desire to smell good thru the? medium of talcum and other incense promoters is around 20. ..The want-to-get-rich age is around 25. The puppy t^ove age starts at 15 and ends after matrimony in the neighborhood of 22, but it begins all over again, so I have heard, at around 66; and is especially noticeable in widowhood and widowerhood. . .Tho innocent age is between 0 months and 3 years. The colicky age is 16 months to 2 years. The speculating age is between 20 and 10. The don't-give-a-darn age is closely akin to the speculating age and runs hand in hand. ..The dangerous age is between 17 and 84. The.show-off age for a single man is the year before he tries to get married; the show-otT age for married folks is the first year?while they are paying for a car and a refrigerator and a suite of furniture and the ring. ..The humiliating age is the age a man is when he has t<? buy his first baby carriage on credit. The investing age is between 55 and 65, after ; you have gone broke trying to make easy money. The grandpa age varies j between 40 and &5, according to the ago the said grandpa "took unto himself." J I ..The evil-communication age is, rampant around 19. The desire-toknock-blocks-off ends around 21, just after some guy has knocked your block off. The worry age, if you have anything worth worrying about, begins at the altar nnd ends at the grave. (Note: The fellow that doesn't worry is never worth worrying about). . .The golf age is between 20 and 80, that is-?if you have money, but this age usually terminates (amongst poor folks with a family to raise) around 35. The excitable age is between 25 and 88. The desire-to-runthc-government age is most common amongst loafers and ranges between 10 and 110. The cute age is 4 months ?while you are too young to know that somebody loves you. a tkrhTblk plight . .The worst mess I ever got into befell me at a charade (now called commencement) at the close of our country school when I was in the fifth grade. Think of it! I was only 17 years when I was advanced to the sixth grade. 1 graduated 2 years later and never had to attend school again thereafter. ..The closing of an old-style country school was by far the biggest event that ever took place in a community. The boys and girls dressed up in their finest calico frocks a^ul percale shirts. They all said speeches and recited poetry and played in dialogues on charade nights. . .The .dilemma i started out to toll about still pesters me in my dreams. Hub Grymes and I were in a play that required us lo tote 2 poles out on the stage which held a little girl suspended in a basket supported, by ribbons. We had to hold those poles as high above our heads as possible while little Sissy Green was saying her say?something like "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star." . . vVe marched out onto the middle of the rostrum with our burden hoisted above our heads. Just about the moment that .Sissy began to recite, a button popped off of my britches at the rear and I could feel the garments oozing down. The next thing I knew, the other button busted loose: there I was?hands above my head?britches too big for me?slipping down! ..I could feel my galluses sliding up j the back of my neck as my pants descended. I took a big breath so's my stummick would expand and hold j my trousers on, but I found that 1 could not stay swelled up over 2 minutes at a time. The cross in my j galluses finally slowed down the pass- j irig scene as it tightened itself around j my collar at the back. ..About the time, I heard my galluses or something commence to rip and my britches gradually groped lower, but had not yet gone out of bounds. I would have given the world to have been able to turn one ' hand loose and grab my clothes with | it. but I realized that I. couldn't let, Sissy drop. She talked awfully slow. She forgot part of her piece and didn't get started for 3 minutes, and me in terrible misery all of the time. The suspense and misery were terrible. jh.-, ..About the time Sissy was ready to kiss her hand to the audience, I let everything go, grabbed my dropping britches and made a bee-line.for the ante-room. Nobody much had noticed that anything had gone wrong. In fact, my britches had moved southward only about 4 inches. I sweated great goms of perspiration during this ordeal but came out alive. That hurt *me worse than anything else that ever happened to me, and plenty has happened. When a Greer negro refused to fix a tire puncture on the road, the occupants of the automobile he was passing near his home, attacked him and killed him by cutting his throat Bunyon Pittman, Mary Steadman, Hilliard Vaughn and George Lane, all of near Greer, were arrested later and placed in Greenville county jail.
