Much of tills success is due to shipping and storage tests by the Department. Ten per cent of the fruits and vegetables traveled more than 2,500 miles to the Chicago market. Another 10 per cent was shipped 1.500 miles; 25 per cent. 1,000 miles; and 22 per cent, Including that trucked in from Illinois and nearby states, less thaa 500 miles. Even though Chicago Is centrally located, the vegetables in a simple combination salad may have traveled more than 5,000 miles. Tomatoes from .Florida, lettuce from California, and onions from the Rio Grande valley, jail arrive In good condition as a reI suit of better knowledge of packing 'and refrigeration. Most fresh fruits and vegetables are | now available throughout the year In [ most large cities and In many smaller ones Even strawberries and watermelons, once available for only a short period each year, may bo purchased In quantities for 6 to 8 months each year.

Court Declares Law Is Invalid An act of the state legislature in I 1933 relative to the payment of delinquent taxes in Kershaw county was declared unconstitutional in a decree handed down by'Judge G. Duncan Bellinger in Kershaw county common pleas court after the act was attacked as 'local and special legislation." Declaration of the act's unconstitutionality was the result of an action brought by S. W. Hogue, a former treasurer of Kershaw county, against the county board of directors, "Uj recover certain fees alleged due him on tax execution warrants issued by him, under the general law (of the state) to his official capacity." Mr. llogue bused his proceedings upon a section of the state code, providing that county treasurers, for each warrant Issued nrgatnst a defaulting taxpayer in their respective counties should receive $1 from each defaulter. A subsequent act of the legislature in 1933 provides in the case of Ker% shaw county, "that no fees or costs' shall be collected for execution on taxes how delinquent until and unless such taxes are hereafter put in execution under the terms of this act." Declaring itself reluctant "to stamp as unconstitutional anyact^qt the leg, Islature of this state," the court found the law violative subdivision IX of Article III, section 34 of the state coni stitutlon of 1895, which provides, "The ; fen oral assembly shall not enact local ' 0r Inws ... in all case* wham > a general law can be made applicable."?Columbia State. * - ^ "'V, L -A v f a- V - a VTur*. t GOLDEN QHOGT3 HAUNT 4TREET IN MONEY GAME^ New York, Auk. 21,?Dead men are cleaning up millions today In Wall Btffcet. They have been In their graves fpr uh long uh twenty years, yet .dally In the atock markets new money la added to the fortunes built through shrewd investments while they lived. They are the golden ghosts of the Rockefellers, the Vandebllts, the llyans and the Whitneys. They never move a linger, nor raise a voice . Hut in these days of business recovery, they proilt as much as 11,000,000 a year. 1 William Rockefeller, brother of the late John I). Rockefeller, Sr., is one of them. Rockefeller died in 1922. The stocks and bonds he had bought before then ?in steel, chemicals, glass, soap, oil, tobacco, motors, banking and utilities ?have earned an averago of $1,000,000 every twelve months since. Jn 1922, WillRtm Rockefeller's fortune totaled $116,646,344. When his executors closed the affairs of the estute nine years later, the total was $128,168,785. And that Is only part iof the story. Rockefeller left' $50,000,000 in trust for his greut-grandchildren; enough to make many millionaires when the money was divided some time after ' IIn the last 15 years the fund :;iveii $9,514,834 in /Interest to Rockefeller's children. The fund today still holds $63,713,889, and If it keeps growing at its present rate, will hold enough for 75 millionaires by 1950. The golden ghosts are neither bulls nor bears. They never sell short. They never buy on margin. They Just ride along with the market and the money keeps rolling In like an endless magic carpet of green velvet. Henry Ilavemeyer is one who rides that carpet. Havetneyer, the sugar magnate, died in 1907 with $18,500,651 in his accounts. June 30, 1937, executors of his estate reported It had grown to $28,411,529. The profit in the Havemeyer case was $10,000,000 in twenty years, which Is not very good rate of return compared with the estate of Mrs. Josephine E. McFadden, director of the Cruwell Publishing company. Mrp. McFadden died in July, 1932. Her estate was first reckoned up May 1, 1935, and found to be $1,104,054.66. By October 31, 1936, was $3,500,000 ?doubled In a year and a halfl Almost all of it was In stocks and bonds. Another of the golden ghosts is Mrs. Florence Adelaine Pratt, the sewing machine heiress. Her money grew so fast after her death that executors, who had counted $5j000,000 February 24, 1936, counted $7,278,673 August 5, 1937. Her Singer stock alone rose In value from $2,191,882 to $4,516,204. Payne Whitney is another golden ghost. Whitney, son of President Cleveland's secretary of the navy, left the biggest estate In the history of the New York transfer tax bureau when j he died in 1927; $178,893,655. Even that Immense fortune grew by 45,306,373 before it was disbursed In the form of legacies two years later. Blocks of It- are still growing, In the hands of his heirs. The Vanderbilt family also has Its golden ghosts. How their post-mortem profits have grown is revealed by the case of little Gloria Vanderbilt, the girl who was the object of the lawsuit between her mother, Mrs. Gloria Morgan Vanderbilt and her great-aunt, Mrs. Harry Payne Whitney. Gloria's share of the family wealth rose from $2,948,743 to $3,667,814 in the single year 1933. Gloria is too young yet to handle her, fortune, and she spends ^at least $70,000 on living expenses/ Yet January 25, 1936, sho had a third of a million more dollars than she had had three years before. . Thomas F. Ryan is a golden ghost. Ryan died in 1928, but his estate was not appraised until two years later. Then the total was placed at $121,028,992. In 1930 it was estimated in court at $140,000,000. Some of the other golden ghosts: Mrs. Henrietta Garrett, of Philadelphia. After she died in 1930, her fortune was set $17,000,000. Today it is $20,000,000, and still grows. Thomas F. Manville, Sr., the "asbestos king." When he died in 1925, he left his namesake son a $2,000,000 trust fund. Today the fund holds almost fl.000,000 more?$2,917,665. Jacob W. Gimbel, of Chicago, a cousin of the Now York and Philadelphia merchants. At his death In 1935, his estate was estimated at $250,000. In <March of this year it wag up to $1,000,000. . Robert A. C. Smith, former dock commissioner of New York city. His state when he died In England In 1S33 was worth $4,341,824. In May, 1*37. it'was counted again. The result $6,46$,451. X\ * ' t .'-. y-v >-itLw & v . t Y.V..V - ./T \ . G ' TO DELINQUENT TAXPAYERTI fc .

C. McCarley, In discussing the 1937 Agricultural Conservation program, pointed out the importance of winter legumes In the farming system of (he south) and especially In Kershaw county. "Recently," he said, "the Southern Divisiou of the Agricultural Adjustment Administration compiled a summary of experiments showing the effects of legumes on the yields of cotton and corn. The summary shows that cotton preceded by a good winter legume crop yields on an average about 50 per cent more than cotton grown under similar conditions except not preceded by winter legumes. About 40 per cent more corn per acre w^s produced when preceded by winter legumes. "Another important consideration is that the seeding of winter legumes is an approved Boil-building practice under the 1937 Agricultural Conservation program, and any cooperator whose soil-building allowance permits may receive a Class II payment for seeding these legumes provided the legumes are adapted to the area and are peeded in accordance with good farming practice*? for the area," the agent states. Senator Clark, Democrat of Missouri, is quoted as saying that he will pay the expenses of Senator Guffey of Pennsylvania, if he will go to next year and campaign against him (Clark) for re-election to the senate.' *1" even give him a bonus," Clark added when it was suggested to him that Guffey might snap up this offer and put in a liberal expense account "and I'll pay it out of my own pocket. I won't be using any of the money of the Senatorial Campaign Committee." ROYAL CAFE I REGULAR DINNERS 30c and 35c Sandwiches?Cold Drinks Beer East Marion Street | KERSHAW, S.
