week end doing8 in flat rock
great mutiny bizueas changes
took place In Hat rock enduring the
?st 30 days, vizzly; the ull-uite caff
han turned Into a licker stoar, and
br?ther runs a beer stoar and hot
dog stand at the county seat. >
the pay and take grocery yestlddy
r turned his keya over to the refferee
, In bankruptcy, he bought a nice 4door
about 6 montha ago, and found
that he could not run both of*hia Inveatmenta
on hla income, ao he give
up the former and kept the latter,
his creddltora got the keya; that'a all.
. .dr. green has added a few shelves
to hla atoar and will atock aome drugs
on Hame which will be a great addition
to his fine line of sandwiches,
bathing suits in season, clocks, radios,
cost-metica, electric < toasters and fleh-,
lng tacklers, allao sody wattera of all
colors anaoforth,
..the poleeaiuan has bought hisaelf a
pair of new shoes, and has benn looking
at a nice Sunday suit for 2 years
at ikey instine's dollar-down stoar,
but he has fell off so much this summer,
it is about ,4 sizes too big for
him, and he la now waiting till he
fattens up a little later on and gets
hla sallery raised.
. .mrs. hoakins old cow has quit bawling
and her dog has quit barking,
and now it is possible for the popperlatlon
to get some sleep at night. It
seems that the dog went mad and bit
the cow and they both dide from
hydry-phoby, all to the satisfaction
of her nabors and the radio fans, she
useter give 4 gallons of milk a day,
but It is no more.
..the fire department was called out
monday about noon, but they went
the wrong direction; they followed
the smoke of the cannon ball train
to the other end of town, and while
.they were trying to find the fire, bert
cobb's house, which was fully covvered
by 2 insurance policies, 3 mortgages,
and pine shingles, burnt to the
ground, he saved the brick pillars
and a washpot. everthing elBe seems
to be normal in our citty.

the: rl?\7 r.z~z&- poke root
political club gets down to
bu8ines8
. .the grass roots have not yet aucered
our seeker-terry's request to amalgamate
thelrselves with the flat rock
poke root club, so our propper-sitlon
hqs benn wtthdrawed for ??ood, and
our oggan-ization wil{ be independents
from now on.
..everboddy voted at the meeting last
night which was hell in the wow hall
over the peeple cash stoar to nommernate
rev. gerald k. 1. smith of la. to
.run for pressident of the u. s. on the
poke root ticket, and If he will run,
it was suggested by all that he have
only 4 planks In his flatform, as followers:?
1?3$ license tags.
2?3$ license tags.
3?3$ license tags.
4?3| license tags.
..our club believes that a national
law (which he will incorporate in his
speech) giwlng ever man, woman,
and/.,child the right to buy a license
plate for his car, regardless of moddie,
age, condition, weight, make, size,
collor, speed, height, or length, for the
sum of 3$ will give anny candydate a
95 per cent majority or plurality In
at least 48 states.
. .this 3$ flatform has alreddy benn
tried out in 2 southern states and it
put the runners who advocated same
Into offis. verry few voters ever worry
about a c7 tax on gas so they ge4 a
nice tag for 3 bucks, the poke roots
mought add other planks it some other
candydate tries to steal our thunder
with a 2$ tag-plank in his flatform,
but If that question comes up, we will
offer a free tale light with each tag
bought and paid for.
..the poke roots are planning to have
some campane buttons printed at the
county seat within the next few weeks
if subscriptions come in fast enough
to warrant same, so far, our treassure,
mr. mike Clark, rfd, has received
only c65 for slush funds, and he had
to give cl5 of that, whoever sets in
the pressldent'B chair in the white
house 2 years hince will be put there
by the poke rooots; the constertutional

the republican party notwithstanding

Hundreds Go Back
To Rural Sections
Mor? new farmers have begun operation
In the lust live years than In
preceding thirty years, according
to a atudy Just completed by the Hesettlement
Adinlnlstrutlou, new deal
agency set up to extend a helping
hand to competent farm families now
unable to establish themselves permanently
and profitably on the lund.
The trend toward rural occupation
lias sullied headway despite the fact
that during the past ten years farming
has been less profitable than ever
before in the nation's history. Increasing
farm population on the one
hand, and decreasing farm opportunities
on the other, explain, in part,
the situation that brought Resettlement
luto the picture.
AltnoHt a million farm families, a
fraction under fifteen per cent of the
total number, have gross incomes of
less than 1400 annually, and that figure
Includes what they grow for consumption
on the premises. Many of
these families with sub-murginal incomes
are victims of sub-marginal
land, from which Resettlement hopes
to remove them to more productive i
acreage, converting their present
farmed-out or eroded fields to trees,
grasses, or other economically sound
uses.^
The new farmers are not, as a rule,
native to the city. They have grown
up on the land, or returned to it after
having had employment for time
in the city. The natural increase In
rural population in the United States
is about one million a year. In predepression
years there was a pronounced
flow from rural to urban centers*
but that flow now has been cut
In half because there are not so many
jobs to be had in the city, nor Is
there any immediate prospect that
the city can take care of its own
natural increase, and also of the surplus
farm population. In the opinion
of Resettlement officials, the land
must support an increasing number of
persons, but it cannot do this unless
land be intelligently used, and practical
help be extended to hundreds of |
thousands of farm families.
The Rural Resettlement Division of
the Resettlement Administration now
is aiding 350,000 farm families. Of
these 22,292 are in Alabama;. 7,192 in
Florida; 12,105 in Georgia and 6,362
in South Carolina, the four states in
tlfiT"Fifth Resettlement Region. The
temporary policy is to make loans,
which must be repaid, for the purchase
of urgently needed supplies and
equipment; the ultimate goal is to
establish as many of these families
as possible upon lands of their own.
This, too, will be done through loans,
to be repaid over a period of years.

The switch had been opened , by a
negro boy of low mentality, who afterward

EGG8 8CARCE
Conway spent a week end without
any eggs. This was something that is
unusual. But It is only a natural result
from the program of scarcity that
was picked out of all the plans that
could be laid to make the price high
for poultryinen. And look what it
has done to the public in general. Of
course there wero a few eggs here and
I yonder but you had to hunt for them
and might b6 disappointed even if you
tried to borrow any and the. price was
thirty-five cents the dozntL and at this
season of the year. You remember [
I what we wrote and told you. All the
| chickens are being caught and slaughtered
and eaten up on account of the
price of beef. Eggs may go as high
as fifty cents per dozen by Christmas, j

DANGER8 IN BUYING ON CREpiT
Columnist Recalls Beginning of the
Present Economic Headache.
There are those who believe that
the present, or late, but certainly la-1
mented, depression had for its chief
cause the installment buying, in tremendous
quantities of automobiles,
radios, cooking ranges, dining room
suites, beds, rugs, farming machinery,
and nearly everything else on the installment
plan.
This is recalled by the following in
the column of Julian S. Miller, in The
Charlotte Observer.
Credit is desirable and & vital asset |
in the world's business and that of
the world's individuals.
Hut credit, like everything else, can
be abused and generally 1b. *
Fathers quit advising their sons 25
years ago "never to go in debt."
Since then, it's the fashion to plunge
in neck-deep and in ail too many
cases wholly over one'B head.
Ten per cent of the total volume of
trade in 1910 wub on credit?90 per
cent paid for over the counter and
carried home.
In 1929, when the bubble burst, 50
per cent of the retail business of this
ooujitry, amounting K9 billions of
dollars, was charged on the books.
America could obviously use a few
Benjamin Franklins today.
It looks as if the Inost urgent reason
the people of this cotrutry want the
depression to get over is In,order that
they have the privilege of 'burying
themselves again under an avalanche
of personar debt.
In that respect, we acquire good
sense with pathetic slowness.
