FARMERS PAYING LOANS
SAYS MR. 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.

Chamber Secretary
Entertains Diplomat
(By Skipper)
Well fremiti and fellow countrymen,
the joke 1h on me. 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.
