BRADHAM Reluming from Columbia where he attended a conference of aecroturlea of national farm loan associations of North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Florida/ A. C. liradhaiu, secretary of the Kershaw National Farm Ix>an association, which servos Kershaw and l^ijcastyr counties, said that reports at the conference indicated that the farmers of the four slates had met their obligations to | the associations In a splendid manner [last year notwithstanding the recesI slon In prices of farm products. The Federal Land Hank of Columbia, through which the national farm | loan associations secure their longterm farm mortgage loans for their members, reported to the conference, Mr. Hradham suld. that as of April ,$U ft had only 5.1 per cent delinquent loans, including louns with delinquent Installments and delinquent extensions. "When It is considered that the bank has over 7X.UO0 loans in the four states," said Mr. Hradham, "you can see that this is a very small percentage of the total. It offers convincing proof that the farmers of the four states are going to meet their obligations if there is any way in the world that they can meet them." Mr Hradham said that during the year 1937 the bank Itself and acting as agent for the Land Hank Commissioner made 2.30" loans in the four states for a total of $3,112,51)3. I hot c wore 34 7 loans made In North Carolina for a total of $1,126,395; 443 loans j in South Carolina for $593,315; ?72 loans In Georgia for $960,523 and 240 loans In Florida for a total of $457,2 711 Mr Hradham said that the secretaries reported that farmers over the j four states were continuing to avail i themselves of the opportunity to se-1 cure long-term farm mortgage credit through national farm loan associations. Some are borrowing, he said, for the purpose of refinancing old Indebtedness and an increasing number for the purchase of land. The rate] of Interest on loans now being made through national farm loan associations is four per cent, Mr. Hradham said.

For over an hour last Saturday afternoon I entertained a chap with Camden history?drove him around to quite a number of historic points and really had u very fine visit. Previous I had arranged for his to visit the site of the Battle of Camden and gaze upon the spot where Baron DeKalb fell. This chap spoke with a decided foreign accent and 1 must admit that sometimes ho had 1110 buffaloed?I did not get what he was saying. But he was a patient fellow and wo got along flue. I gave him half a dozen photos of Camden points of Interest, loaned him a copy of the story 1 wrote a year ago about tho "Little Grey Lady" and supplied him with all the Camden leaflets and booklets 1 could gather up. Now this fellow had class written all over him and I was racking my think-tank to figure out Just who he wus, where he came from and the like. 1 did not like to pop a lot of questions at him. t As ho was leaving the office he Informed me he was on his way to visit the French consulate at New Orleans. Then he handed me his card. The card read "R. IxiulangeTessler, Consul General de France. Washington, 1). C." And at this Juncture I made a rush for Slick Zemp'8 drink emporium and imbibed hastily of three dopes. My last recollection of this llnespoken French diplomat was his c'or-1 dial Invitation to come and visit him. , Well, perhaps. Frank Kelley Does a j ! Track Masterpiece!
