Friday, October, If, .1934 TUB FAIR When we go to press neat week the Kershaw county fair will be in full awing. The officials say that preparations have beea made (or the biggest fair we have eve^ had. For the past several years, in spite of the ' degression, the attendance at the KeFahaw ^county fair has grown steadily each year and the attractions have been better each year. The fair management. has left no stbne unturned to give the people of the county a first-class county fair. These men are giving their time and their energy unselfishly to put over this fair and they deserve the confidence and cooperation of the people throughout the county. This fair is wArth a day of anyone's time and we hope that everybody in the county , will make an effort to attend one or more of the big days. The exhibits arc expected to be more numerous and attractive than ever before; the midway attractions are better ?apd more up-to-diite and the daily and nightly fireworks displays alone would be worth going many miles to see. The big days arf^ the Merchants' and Manufacturer's day, Farmers' day and School day. All of th$ school children of the county are ex pected to attend in a body, as usual, and march to the fair. On Farmers' K%*:.v day the exhibits will be judged, including cattle, hogs, etc. On Merchants' and Manufacturers' day the displays of the merchants and manufacturers will be judged. All this, of course, in addition to the many other attractions to be seen daily. Let us all set apart at least one day next week ?o attend the Ker.?haw f'ounty Fair. BETTER TIMES AHEAD The tobacco growers in the Eastern part of the state are much better off this fall than they have been for tne past several years. Tobacco prices were much better this year than they haw been within the past six or ' even years and, with the better cot~ ton prices, the depression seems -definitely to be over for the people down that way. While in this section we don't have af:y tobacco, - our cotton is bringing about twice as much as it did a year ago and certainly conditions in Kershaw county have improved wonderfully during the past year. The Federal Land Bank has helped hundreds of farmers in the county to straighten out their affairs and to start over again, and there is no doubt but that it has put new hope into the hearts of many of our farmers. A trip through the county will reveal the vast improvement in the appearance of homes, out-buildings and farms generally. The Home lx>an Bank has likewise done a great work in refinancing and rehabilitating homes in Camden and other towns jn 1 the county. It has provided funds to take care of past due mortage*, to pay off delinquent taxes, and for pointing and renovating the homes of people living jn town. There is a marked improvement in the appearance of the homes in Camden. There is also a great improvement in the spirit of the people. It is true that there appear to be some inequalities in the operation of the Bankhaad Cotton Law and some of our smaller farmers have really been hurt, but hough this is true, they can sell any surplus they have and pay the #20.00 per bale tax on it and still get more net per bale than they have received during the past ?e*ral yeare. There has been a good market for all other farm products and really moat farmers who have chosen to make the best of the situation, instead of pining and finding fault, have gotten along very nicely and know that they are much better off. r . , . The few doubting Thomases, may just a* well get it into their heads that the entire Recovery program inaugurated by President Roosevelt is going through. It is impossible for any man-made machine to work perfectly in all of its parts, and inequalities are bound to occur. We think there is no doubt but that some further relief will be afforded to. the small farmer, and even if there is not, if he will make up his mind to make the best of the situation he will soon come to the conclusion that in spite of his feeling that his neighbor may have been more kindly dealt with, he himself is infinitely better off than he would have been otherwise. These discordant notes are becoming fewer and fewer. It is a pity that, among our leaders there are a few who find fault no matter what the program is. We have them with us today; but the rank and file are paying them little heed and are going ahead with chins up, eyes bright, faces to the future, with full confidence that the Depression has done its worst and that Recovery is definitely on its way. "Happy Days Are Here Again." Heady To Make I.oans The Kershaw Production Credit Association serving the counties of Lancaster and Kershaw is now in position to make cotton commodity loans to growers, who desire to market their cotton in an orderly manner, according to an announcement by Alex G. Clai kson, secretary of the association. ; The loans will be made on the basis of 12 cents per poiWi for cotton (classed low' middling or better in grade artd seven-eighths inch or bet,'ter in staple and 11 cents per pound (for such cotton classed low middling or better in grade and below seven eighths inch in staple. The interest 'rate will be 4 per cent per annum and interest is charged only for the time the money is used. , As security for each loan the borrower must furnish a warehouse rejceipt from an approved warehouse. The grower may sell his cotion at any time in such way as he sees fit. The notes are made to mature July 31, 1935 but the cotton may be sold at any time prior to that date. Kaeh borrower will he required to purchase Class B stock in the pro[duction credit association from which he secures his loan equal to 5 per (cent of the amount borrowed, the rule I in this respect being the same as in (ordinary production credit loan. A production credit borrower who has ! repaid hi< production loan .nay of Iri'ur^e use the Class B sto< k which he already owns in the making of I the cotton loan insofar as it will go I toward making up the "> per cent of j the total amount borrowed on his !tut ton. The offices of the Kershaw Proi.luction Credit A-sociation are located ( in the Bank of Kershaw Building in ! Kershaw and farmers of the counties served by the association may apply there for loans says Alex G. Clarkson, Secretary and Treasurer. ' RHBTT-KKWKI>\ Beautiful Wedding la 81.

The New.? and Courier. your Collars worth Take a dollar out of your pocket, it's yours?-you can do anything you like with it. But you can't buy a i >1lar's worth of commodities or services. The reason for that is that ar.?.ut 25 per cent of your dollar has to go to government. If you u-e it to buy theatre tickets, gasoline, cigarettes, electricity, clothing or anything c se, 25 per cent of the cost, on the average, will represent taxes. The main reason we have allowed the tax problem to grow so grave in this country is that millions of people haven't realized that such a problem exists! * These are the people who pky no t?x?i directly. Their income* ere j below the level touched by the income j tax. They rent home*. They do not * own a businesa, but work for some-, one else. And the reault is * belief that those who own businesses, have larger incomes, and possess property pay all the taxes. There aren't enough large-income people in the country to make a dent in meeting the cost of government. The great bulk of taxes are taken from the ordinary person?and they are taken indirectly. Instead of writing the tax-collector a check, most of our citixens pay their taxes unknowingly during the course of daily living. Kent is higher than it would be, because the landlord must pay taxes. Salaries are smaller, because the employer is heavily taxed. Food is more coetly because the farmer, the processor, the transporter and the final seller are all taxed. So it goes, through everything we need and use. Don't be fooled. Everyone pays taxes-?-everyone is in danger of being forced to pay more. A reduction in taxation through less tax spending is essential. THB YEARS AHEAD The primary ambition of all men is to assure adequate economic protection for themselves and their dependents iib the future. Of the many who aspire to that, few achieve it.!' An overwhelming percentage of men become penniless dependents in old age, and must be sustained by relatives or organised charity. Many such men were once wealthy. Many more once held good jobs, which provided substantial surpluses above the income necessary for livelihood. Many managed to build up sizeable estates, only to see them swept away by one financial cataclysm or another. That was the case even before depression, and during the last few years an infinitely greater than normal number of people have faced the tragic problem of approaching old-age without money or savings. The aim to be followed in any" savings plan is security, rather than profit?small dividends from investments which offer maximum protection to principal, are far better than possible large profits from unsafe investments. Many excellent savings plans are offered to persons of all earning capacities?plans which permit the investment of a dollar a month or a thousand dollars. Life insurance, through its various types of annuity and investment policies, is one of the best, as its fine record during the last five trying years has demonstrated. While businesses went under, estates were dwarfed or disappeared, and investments. 4.hat once seemed iron-clad were sWept away, that institution [carried on as usual. Whatever the plan, every man should prepare for old age. Dollars that are earned with comparative ease today will come hard indeed when the period of greatest productivity is over.
