F*loe pe* annum 92 00. payable In advance. Friday, May 1, 1930 ^ THE NEXT HATFX E N TU R Y IN THE SOUTH '.Southern industry must b? persuaded that It will grow aa the South grows, hh the Southern farmer growa, ax the Southern massos are implemonted to buy. There la no clvltlred region la the world with a finer potential home market than the South. And there la no region whose title to civilisation and whose hope for the neat fifty yeara depends more upon # an upbuilding of ita home market." So begins a stirring message from one of tho South'a foremost writers of dkit new generation, John Temple Craves II, iu the current Progressive Farmer. Ifq continues: "It Is hot too 'much to hope that withlh the next fifty years the Southern people will take possession of the South, if that is treason it hus mauy accomplices. More and more the thoughtful men of this section are coming to bp aware of tragic and'tirrnecossury barriers that stand between Southerners and the full use, enjoyment, aud profit of their land. Whether those barriers can be re in (*gil within the half-century romulim to be seen. "Their romoval will depend, in the first place, upon the removal of very definite discriminations or Inequities in such matters as freight rates, the tariff, interest rates, the steel price differential. It will depend upou a llftiivK of the one-crop curse and upou the science employed in preservation of Southern forests, mines and soils. It will depend upon the extent to which, both In agriculture and in industry, the operators of things become the owners of things ruther than the mere renters or managers. It will depend upon education, upon what individual Southerners are able through education to make of themselves in character, intelligence, sympathy, taste, and understanding. The South's hope, lies at home. To accept the fact will bo to reverse the policy of sacrifice. Insteud, we will kill the fatted calf on every possible occasion for the Southern farmer and ti?e Southern worker. We will do everything possible to build up tho purchasing power of those who make the Southern home market. "The South is a great potential market for the simple and sorrowful reason that there are so many things tho Southern people need und huvon't got ? so many improvements possible und necessary In their material way of living?if only they can be given a purchasing power. Southern agriculture, too, will need a new light. What the cotton picking machine will do to the South, no one knows. The physical and economic conditions required for its use may result in tho broad, centrallyowned aeros of Texas. This would leave the states across the Mississippi to do more subsistence farming than ever before, more growing of food and feed and chemical crops, more dairying, more soil preserving. It may be that important sectors of Southern agriculture, like many sectors of Southern industry, will have to look homeward for consumers of their products and that the South of fifty years hence will come much nearer than it does today to fulfilling (he dream some of our philosophical economists are dreaming. They dream of a solf sufficing region whore small industries and small farms live by serving each other and themselves and where the developing sclenco of commercial chemistry Joins factory and field in mutual prosperity. It is a beautiful dream. I hope It comes true." FARMERS URGED TO COOPERATE A telegram has Just been received from tho Washington office requesting us to advise producers to submit applications at once for their subsidy payment on cotton sold prior to May 13. If these applications are not made immediately the payments will be delayed for an Indefinite period. If these application are not made at once office work on the no\\ program will bo delayed. The sooner we get through with the subsidy work the soon* r the new program will materialize. However.' tho applications for cotton which has not been sold may boMihmltied tip lo and including July 31. Therefore, this is to urge every producer in the county to make application for cotton sold prior to May 13. This is an important factor so plenso adhere to this request.

The average to a veteran will be about $491, compared with an average certificate face value of $983.90, the difference being accounted for by heavy veterans' borrowings and interest. To each veteran will be sent as many $60 bonds aa he is entitled to, plus any remaindor in the form of .a check. Not all of the nearly,. $2,000,000,000 in bonds and checks will be mailed,' however, ou June 15?the Initial date of payment as fixed by law?or immediately thereafter. For the mailing must be preceded by attested applications on the part of veterans and by the necessary check-up and bookkeeping in Washington. Of the total of nearly 4,000,000 certificate holders, more than a million have yet to apply. Some 2,700,000 applications have been made, but 700,000 or more of these claims have not yet been verified. That leaves bonds and checks for about 2,000,000 to be mailed on or soon after June 15, with more to follow as applications are made and vorlfled. The Treasury has printed 38,000,000 bonds; how many of these will be cashed by veterans in the near future it has no way of knowing. Some time ago it was thought the cash payments would be more than $1,500,000,000, but it is -now doubted that any such sum will be j?ild out, at least before October 1. . j. The keeping of bondB as investments is being urged on veterans by their organizations after conferences with Secretary Morgenthau. For the huge task of getting all bonds and checks to the veterans, well-oiled machinery has been perfected by the Treasury, the Veterans Administration, the Federal Reserve Hanks, the Postoffice Department and the veterans' own organizations. In simple language, the process Is as follows: The veteran makes application to the Veterans Administration on a blank form avuilable at any veteran organization headquarters. This application requires the prints of fingers of the right hand, information relative to the veteran's adjusted service certificate number, its date, the date of enlistment and discharge, the rank held and other data. .The Veterans Administratidn, receiving the application computes the amount due the veteran, deducting any loans made on the certificate and any unforgiven interest due, and then certifies the award to the Treasury Department. After getting the certifications the Treasury notifies its regional disbursing ofTices, including the Fedoral Reserve Banks. Except in the case of the Richmond Federal Reserve District. distribution of checks and bonds will bo made by the Reserve Banks. In the Richmond district distribution will be inude direct from the Treasury. The Reserve Bank will stencil the name of the veteran to receive the bond and check, wifl register the bond and will give proper notice to that effect to the Treasury and to the veteran. The check and bond will be turned over to the Postoffice Departinent for mailing. Further disposition of the bond will bo up to the veteran. legislation is now pending in Congress to authorize the Secretary of the Treasury to designate about 300 flrst-elass postmasters and leading, second-class postmasters to cash the bonds. Its passage is anticipated within a comparatively short time. A LITTLE PROBLEM TO 80LVE Geologists have a little problom to solve on Frank Baker's portion of this oarth, near Camden, S. C. Frank stuck a whistle Into a hole In tho ground and the whistle commenced tooting. Now the question is "Dooh the music go 'round 'n 'round or go up and down?" After Baker had drilled for about thirty feet for the purpose of installing a water pump, air began to rush through the two inch pipe, but alas, no water. Natural gas or oil did not materialize. A "pipe organ" was arranged by BAker when he augmented tho first whistle by outUog whistles from canes and placing them over tho outlet.

Pet Bear Dies Of Pneumonia Elloree, April 25.?Amos, the pet black bear at the Tourists Inn Owned by Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Minims at the junction on United 'States highway No. 15, near here, is dfad. This news will be received with regret throughout this section for Amos was a regular fellow. He had many friends who visited him regularly and admired him greatly. He contracted pneumonia last week and died Wednesday. His beautiful coat pf black fur was saved and will be made into a hand-: some robe. Mr. and Mrs. Mlmms have had the bear since he was captured in the Santee river swamp when he was about two weeks old this coming May. Another little cub was captured at the same time with Amos and it is a strange coincidence that it died about two weeks ago at the home of his keeper in Williamsburg county. For many weeks following his capture Amos was fed milk from a bottle with tender care. At feeding time It wm no unusual thing to hear the little cub i cry like a baby for his bottle. He grew into a large bear weighing ap proximately 300 pounds. It is estimated that he would have weighed over 600 poun<\p in a few years time. Many tourists and -local"residents vis. ited the Inn to watch the playful antics of Amos. It was no unusual thing to see a throng of people crowded around the bear's cage where thSf were afforded many hearty laughs because of the bear's clever and cunning tricks. He was especially fond ot soft drinks, and it was something of a thriller to watch him take a bottle in his great clumsy paws, turn it up to his mouth and drain it to the last drop. At times Amos was permitted toy leave the cage for a stroll around the premises. ' r \J Mrs. Mimms says that she will never be satisfied until they find another bear to have for a pet, but she also adds that there will never be 4 one to completely ,take the place of .} \ the favorite Amos. *_* 1 4 _ n NOTICE OF SALE Notice Is hereby given that In accordance with the terms and provisions of the Decree of the Court of Common Pleas for Kershaw County, in the case of Sallle A.
