Increase Expected in
Credit Association
An Increase ~7n membership and
volume of business this year is expected
by the Kershaw Production
Credit association which serves Kershaw
and Lancaster counties, according
to W. T. Redfearn. president, who
says that many farmers have already
made arrangements for their shortterm
credit needs foi this year
through this farmers' cooperative
credit organization
j The record of the Kershaw assort
at Ion to dale is one of steady progress.
Mr Redfearn said In 1934. the
I first year it operated, it had 2t>0 memI
hers Last year it served 051 mem
I bcrs In 1934. it made loans totalling
, and its volume has increased
each year In 1937 It made loans totalling
$184,567
In 1934. the association did not have
any reserve It now has a reserve
of $4.01 5 Members of the association
, now own $10,935 worth of stock In
the association
! "Each year has thus been one of
progress." said Mr. Redfearn. 'and as
more and more of our farmers learn
of the short term credit service which
we hav,- to offer them we expect the

1 The stage setting, the smoothnesr

dress and the effective technique of
line Interpretation made the affair
one of delightful chuckles aud pleas
ant memories
Camden talent demonstrated gen
ulue hlstroulc ability. Amateurism
usually attendant upon home talent
presentations was consplclous by its
absence. The cast was splendid and
to attempt to name any outstanding
character would be a difficult task.
Miss Betty Carrison, as Ann Rogers,
secretary to an eccentric author,
was remarkably versatile In expressIon
and technique and had a ready
command of her lines. 1 think the
outstanding tribute that can he paid
this attractive Camden girl Is that
she was naturally charming, a quality
that has always been her most
winning trait. Warren Arnold, as
Kenneth Bigsbee. the eccentric author,
handled a difficult role in a
pleasing manner. Miss Carrison and
Mr. Arnold had a wealth of dialogue
in every act and their letter-perfect
' presentation earned them much applause.
Mrs. William Coxe Interpreted a
difficult role with expression and
fineness, and Miss Barbara Zemp
pleased with her grace and attractive
I personality Jack Nettles was a naj
tural" in the role of a crotchety gen I
tieman who had a weakness for good j

Clarkson and Skottowe DePass
The entrance to the auditorium was
reminiscent of a hotel lobby, with
desk, bellhops, and the like, lending
a pleasing atmosphere for the stage
I ofTering.
All credit for the splendid work of
the cast goes to Mrs. Donald Morrison,
director It would appear that
anything that Mrs. Morrison directs
should be a box office sell-out. It Is
a matter of record that her every venture
of this kind has been successful
The stage effects were under the di
rection of Mrs John Mullen and this
part of the program was as well planned
and carried out as the actual per
formance by the cast.
A review of a stage offering is presumed
to offer criticism as well apraise
So far as the actual stage
features were concerned, everything
was splendid However, there is one
suggestion that Is offered In regard
to ih?' audience feature. The seatim? 1
of beiated groups after the curtal;,
lias gone up is always a source of an-j
noyance and confusion to the peoplwho
make it a point to be in their
seats at the rurtain hour The Bug
gestion is made that in future offerings
the audience be seated in time
for the first curtain and those comintf

first act Is over This rule prevails
in all leading theaters showing legi

1 he facsimile process is tile half
I w a.) step from sound broadcasting to
television, recording static printing
and photographs on paper, where tele
vision records motion on a screen
The apparatus was the invention of
William (J. II Finch, an engineer of
[the old Federal Katfio cc?m mission. In
litis system, printed matter and pictures
were changed in eleelWcnl im*

uer and this was reproduced in &0 or
so facsimile sts scattered in test
homes in tho suburban area of New
York city.
Since WOH radiocasts sound programs
duriug the day the facsimile
transmissions were sent out between
the hours of 2 to 6 a. m. Later WOH
hopes to acquire a separate facsimile
wavelength to transmit facsimile all
day.
Only a two-column wide strip of pa

but it can be easily extended to print
a tive-colum tabloid-size page. The
printing rate is about one inch a
minute but this can also be speeded
up.
While these are mechanical prob I
lems, which apparently can be easily
solved, the most important effect of
facsimile is the changes in newspaper
habits it may cause. Obviously when
these facsimile sets become widespread
in use there will be no need
of running to the corner or down to
the corner or down to the rural mall
box for the newspapers to get amplified

Negro Sentenced
To Die In Chair
Saluda. March 3.?Ernest GaineB,
negro, was sentenced last night by
Judge J Henry Johnson to die in the
electric chair for the deaths of Brunson
Coleman and his negro cook, Carrie
Sullivan, at the Coleman ho\e
last January 30.
The case, begun yesterday morning,
went to the Jury early last night and
a verdict of guilty of murder without
any recommendation for mercy was
returned about thirty minutes later
Tuesday. April 13 was set as the date
for the execution.
The double slaying occurred about
9 o'clock Sunday morning, January
30. at the Coleman home, the old
Governor Hagood property, near Saluda
Brunson Coleman and his
brother, Weymon O Coleman, of Columbia,
were Inspecting some new
farm machinery in the yard when the
cook rushed out to warn him that a
negro man was in the house.
Weymon Coleman went to his car
to secure a gun while Brunson Coleman
entered the house. The negro
was said to have stepped from a closet
in the living room and shot Brun
son Coleman. He then turned hi8|
gun on Carrie Sullivan, and shot the'
negro woman down as she attempted
to flee from the scene
Gaines was wounded by Weymon
Coleman who had in the meantime
secured a gun, but the negro succeeded
in making a get-away He was
later captured at the home of his
father only about half a mile from
the Coleman place
JU8TICE
Ernest Gaines, colored, murderer of
Brunson Coleman and his colored
cook, will pay t h extreme penalty
A sentence of death by e'.Ttronitfon
was made by Judge J IB-nry Johns.-n
last Tuesday, after the jury had re

receive facsimile bulletins as instantaneously
as city apartment people. In
the RCA facsimile system the receiver
is equipped with a cutting knife so
that the rolls of paper may be assembled
in book fashion With binding
materials and increased speed of
transmission magazines and perhaps
even books may be sent over the air
In all day operation news will be relayed
over home facsimile sets almost
as soon as it happens.
The biggest competition perhaps
that facsimile may meet is the breaking
down of the resistance of the consumer
who believes that the two or
three cent price of his morning or
evening newspaper is cheaper Yet
facsimile, beyond set cost, will be
fairly cheap On the basis of speed
alone newspapers, may never be able
to compete with facsimile receivers.
Advertising, as in the case of newspapers
and on the radio, is expected,
to und-rurite the cos: of facsimile
transmission The home operator's
cost will be the rolls of paper and
electric current.
At the moment facsimile receiver
cost in the neighborhood of $125. Uncbr
mass production, however, their ;
cost is expected to be reduced to $35
or less. The facsimile receiver is no
more complicated in design than the j
average all wave receiver, r.,
Facsimile reception is, oi course, i
regarded as a step on the way to tele- *
vision which haa not yet been per- j
fected to a state for public use. So
far only eight facsimile licenses have ,
been granted on a temporary basis.
But as public urgency compels more J
transmissions the experiment wilt
change as in the case of radiocasting -=
to a more permanent basis. Radio stations
WGN, Chicago; W8M, Nashville;
KSD, St. Louis; WOR, Newark;
WHO, Des Moines; WOH, Newport
News. KFBK, Sacramento; and KM J,
Fresno, have received licenses to op- ^
erate. A score of applications are in
awaiting decision by the F. C. C. It
w ill be noted that most? of the licenses
as well as applicants are hewspapera. ~
