Of Interest To
Cotton Farmers
The following letter has just been
received by County Agent Green from
It. W. Hamilton, assistant to director,
Clemson College, who has charge of
all the Banltlieod work in. the state:
"I have received your letter of
August 14th. It is perfectly all right
for a farmer in one county to have
his cotton ginned in another county.
Of course, he will have to present the
necessary tax exemption certificate
when the cotton is ginned.
"The Washington office will sometime
in the near future make an announcement
in regard to the Commercial
value of the tax exemption certificates.
At present I have no information
on them."

THIS "'POLITICAL MKKTINU IN
FLAT KtK'K
. . u big state campane meeting was
hell in Mat rock last friday and from
what the candy-dates said, we wont)
have to pay any more taxes ufter they j
get' eleckted. they will reduce everthing
to the core and turn off the'
highway department, consolidate the
leggislature, asylum, railroad copimish
and the penitentiery.
..all of the polliticians made it plain
that they were running on the roaej*
\ elt tlatform and that they will sun-J
port all of his measures, including the
row of trees from north dakoter to
south america, the cwa and the nra
and the tva ami the furrin dett la a s
with europe.
. .all of the candy-dates spoke but
28 spekers; night came on befoar tVi
chairman got to them onner count of
thyje being so manny of them trying
to get a job which has no work in it.
they walked around amongst th?
crowd and shuck hands vigorously
with everboddy old enough to vote
and kissed 18 babies.
..the leggislature candy-dates wii|
help the poor farmer and the poor
factory, worker and the poor met-1
chants .and the ^oor rich folks who
happen to be livving in the state, in J
other words, they will be so gentle j
towards everboddy that it will be ra i
pleasure to pay the small tax bills
that they will levy on them.
..yore corry spondent, mr. mike
Clark, rfd, was chairman of the meeting
and he took about 10 minnets to
inter-duce the speakers, but it looked
like the crowd enjoyed him more than,
they did the others, he will possibly !
run for govvernor next year, and he !
took this opportunity to thank the
voters for all past and future favors !
j
..it was planned to have lemmernade'
for all pressent, but a crowd of hoi-(
sum moore's boys got to drinking out '
of the barrel full of same, and when!
the other folks gut reddy to ijiwntch
their thirts, it- was all gone excepp
the peace of ice. holsum scolded his
boys a right smart and made them go
honie, as he did not want them so far
away from their ma. they were
highly expanded.
[..there being no further bizness befoar
the meeting, it stood adjourned,
all of the politicians enjoyed themselves
good and they hope to carry
the'Mat rock box sollid. it took the
poleesman 46 minuets to clean up the
goober hulls they left where they
spoke ansoforth. come again, boys,
after you get taxes cut as much as
you promised.
yores trulie,
mike Claik, rfd,
corry spondent.
STOCK MARKKT llEWS FROM
FLAT ROCK
. holsum moore is on the 'verge of
getting verry rich in spite of the
hard times, he has just bought some
stock in 2 diffrent companies from 2
diffrent rank strangers, and he feels
sure that he will dubbU* his monney
within 2 months, he has alreddy received
a nice divverdent from one of
them.
..he showed yore corry Spondent, mr.
mike Clark, rfd, 5 shares of his stock
and they are rail pretty, they have
green border's trimmed in gold, but
the man forgot to rite in the address |
uf the companny, but it said its name
was the "vitayerb distributing companny."
..holsum was smart enough to grab
this opportunity, he borried all of
his wife's monney and added his 4$
to it; he allso morgaged his cow an(^
his son's motor-sickle and got 25$,
and struck while the iron was hot,
he thinks he will soon retire and live
off his intrust and divverdends. he
enjoys buying stuff from strangers,
but wont take no stock in nothing
local.
..according to holsum moore, our
local bizness have no brains, all of!
the sense in the world is in the headsr
of men from far off places. they;
tried to get him to help with the
I
cannery in flat rock, but he hell out
that it would not pay, so he invested
elsewhere, his gold mine stock of
last year has not benn heard from
since ..they sold him the secont time.
r J
..it is much nicer to invest in stocks
and bonds that you don't know annything
about, and it makes a feller
feel pretty big to tell furrin agents
how much property he owns, and holsum
enjoys leaving heavy imprints on
out-of-tOwn stock salesmen, holsum
has recker-mended these stocks to
various friends of his'n, and some
folks think that he is getting ? big
rake-off from sails. j
..a right smart of selling of various'
securities has benn going on in flat
rock, the further off the company is,'
the better its stock sells, and Strang- \
ers don't have no trubble in convinc-'
ing our citizens (who have a little
money that they want to put away)
that they should get in on the ground
floor, so far. it seems that flat rock
has se#t a right smart of her capitol ^
but of town, and we hope for manny
huppy returns, if yyu know of anny
strarigera with some of the new stocks
plese tell them to hurry on down to
flat rock befoar their competitors
milk the town dry.
yores trulie,
milce Clark, rfd,
t* jjtorry spondent.
Honeybee Still Wild
After thousands of years of association
with man science finds that the
honeybee is unchanged. All of the
other wild creatures which man has
adopted to setve him have yielded to !
his influence and changed to such an
extent that many of them would be
almost utterly helpless if turned back
into their natural element where they
were required to shift for themselves.
Not so with the bee, however. No
matter how long a swarm had been
kept in a man-made hive they would
hunt out a hollow tree or some such
suitable spot and live quite as well as '
under man's guiding hand.?The Pathfinder.
