Social Security
Act Explained
Employers of eight or more who
have failed tp make returns in accordance
with the provisions of Title
IX of the Social Security Act, which
impoaea an exciae tax on employera,
commonly known aa the unemployment
compenaation tax, were today
warned by Collector of Internal Revenue,
R. M. Cooper that they faced
delinquent penalties ranging from 5
per cent to 25 per cent of the tax
their pay rolls call for. The returns
are to be made on Internal Revenue
form 5140 and werts due on April 1,
last.
Collector Cooper referred to Article
502 of Regulations 90, which provide
that "failure to file a return when
due cauaeB to accrue, under the provisions
of section 406 of the Revenue
Act of 1935, a penalty of from 5 per
cent to 25 pqr cent of the amount of
Jhe tax, depending upon the period of
delinquency." Employers were grante&an
exten?lon of time for the filing
of returns and paying of the tax until
April 1 by Commissioner of Internal
Revenue, Guy T. Helvering.
The Social Security Act, Mr, Cooper
explained, calls for a pay roll tax
of one per cent on the 1936 pay roll
containing eight or more persons on
each of some twenty days during the
taxable year, each day being in a different
calendar week. Each employer
is entitled to a credit of nhfhty
per cent of his federal tax, provided
he has contributed at least this
amount to unemployment compensation
funds established by the states
In conjunction with the Federal Social
Security Law in which he has
employees, such contribution, however,
must have been paid on or before
April 1, 1937.
Collector Cooper said that recognition
of the following facts by all employers
would remove a great deal of
the confusion that apparently exists
as to the provisions of Title IX of the
Social Security Act.
The employer's excise tax, provided
for under Title IX of the Social Security
Act is separate and apart from
the employer's excise tax and the employee's
income tax provided for under
Title VIII of the same act. Participation
in one does not exempt an
employer from participation in the
other.
Officers of corporations are considered
employees for taxable purposes.
Nonfederal Credit is allowed an employer
for a state contribution unless
the said state contribution is paid
prior to the due date of the federal
return, April 1, 1937.
Employers alone pay the tax levied
under Title IX.
SIGN DIRECT8 TRAVEL OVER
HIGHWAY NUMBER 521
A handsome new road sign directing
traffic over Highway 521 has
been erected on the other side of
Pineville by the Lancaster Lions Club
with cooperation of Lancaster people
and some In the towns further south.
This sign is located about a mile
north of Fort Mill and on the sign is
a map showing the best route from
Charlotte to Columbia. On the map
are shown the location of Pineville,
Lancaster, Kershaw, Camden and Columbia.
This sign has been erected on the
east side of the highway and close
to the sign which Rock Hill erected
tome time ago.
This sign was put up to direct traffic
this way as it has been conclusively
proten that autoists can make better
time via Lancaster, Kershaw and
Camden in going from Charlotte to
Columbia. Autoists who have gone
over the route both via Rock Hill and
via Lancaster say that they can save
twenty minutes by going via Lancaster
as the route is more direct with
no congested traffic to face. The distance
via Rock Hill and via Lancaster
is about the same.?Lancaster

Chevrolet Quarters
Most Attractive
The magic of paint and new equip
meat is splendidly ?>xei?pll|te<1 in tiie
attractive new quarters of the l*nngston
Motor Company, Chevrolet agency
in Camden. ,
For the past aevoral weeks carpenters
and decoratora have boen effecting
a transformation scene in the
building on Broad street, occupied for
several years as a Chevrolet headquarters.
The showroom fronting on Hroad
street has been entirely renovated
and now presents an attractive appearance
in cardinal and battleship
gray with cream walls. Installation
of brilliunt flood lamps In the show
room will add greatly to the appearance
of the front of the building.
The show room has been completely
rearranged and 1b modernistic in
design. The General Motors idea of
the "parts" department is carried out
in brilliant colorings and the effect is
striking. The parts department Is at
the rear of the display room and the
decorative motiff blends into the cojor
scheme and design of the latter, giving
a pleasing effect from the street.
Offices and wash room adjoin both the
parts department and the display
room.
The service department is being
completely remodeled and all new
equipment installed. Cars being serviced
will bo protected by tender
wrapB and also covers for upholstery,
so that the old bugaboo of particular
car owners against grease spots on
seats and scratches on fenders or
hood have entirely been eliminated.
The garage is also installing all new
equipment of the very latest approved
type for the servicing of caia. Electric
devices that are seemingly uncanny
in ferreting out ignition troubles
are in evidence.
The Chevrolet agency in Camden is
under the personal direction of P. R.
Langston. He has two excellent salesmen
in L. B. Campbell and Gene Catoe.
The body servicing department
is In charge of T. L. Myers; the parts
department Is In charge of Ben
Graves; the Frigidaire department in
charge of R. R. Klrkland and the
paint department under the direction
of Mr. Henning. Miss Marie Halle is
in charge of the book keeping.
Ecso White Sox Loses '
It took a combination of the Kershaw
Guards and the Hermitage Mill
teams to wallop the Esso White 8ox
in a Twilight league game Wednes-1
day evening, the Bcore being 12 to 8.
It waB the playoff of a Hix inning
game that was staged by these two
teams two weeks ago and which was
also won by the Guards. I
The game was a close and interesting
battle for several innings and the
rdsult was a tossup, both teams play-1
ing a nice brand of ball. After Man-!
ager Sanders of the Guards, injected
a group of Hermitage Mill players
who had just completed the rout of
the American Legion Junior team, into
the fray, the Guards went on to
win by staging a seven run rally In
the sixth inning.
The hits were about even, the
Guards getting ten and the Sox 9, but
the Sox defense blew up at critical
periods and when the Guards combined
hits with errors of the opposition,
they started a scoring spree.

legion Juniors Look
Like Winners Again
Tlx* Camden American Legion Junior
baseball team is going to lie a
real threat to any and all of the
teams seeking district and elate honors
thin year.
Couch Huun Small has many members
of the elaHHy team of 1936 a? a
nucleus for his 1937 machine and with
the new timber coming In from the
city and county, the C.umden team la
already looming up uk a potential title
winner.
With Shirley and llorton alluring
the Job of pitching, the Camden team
defeated the fuat Hermitage Mills outfit
in a game at the Milla diamond
Tuesday by a score of 6 to 4. Shirley
of this city worked four innings and
held the Mills sluggers hltlesp. Morton,
who halls from Bethune, then
went in and while hit three times in
five innings, he was never in dunger.
Small's Legion team this year has
"Red" Lynch, sensationA) 1937 high
school pitching ace, Homer Shirley
and Wilbur Williams, all Camden
boyB, and Richard Horton of Bethune
on the pitching staff. This Horton
lad has plenty of class and he plays
baseball because he loves the game,
l^ast year as a member of the Camden
team It is related that on one of
the days that the team was scheduled
to play u worthy foe in an elimination
game here, Horton worked in the field
plowing until noon, walked three and
a half mileB, then caught a ride twenty
mlloB to Camden, walked a half
mile to the ball park, warmed up and
went in and pitched his team to a
victory. This year this same lad repeats
this stunt five days a week in
