AGED LADY WRITES M08T
INTERESTING LETTER
Tho Chronicle Is in receipt of a
most interesting letter? interesting
in that it was written by a lady
now more than 83 years of age. It
was written in her own hand-writing
and is a remarkable piece of penmanship
coining from one of that
age In life. (Mrs. Hlanding did not
tell us but we learn that she is a
daughter of General K. H. Anderson,
ranking general in the Confederate
army. He was known to his
comrades as "Fighting Dick Anderson.")
The letter is as follows:
"I am writing to make the request,
which I believe is always an
unwelcome one to publishers, that
my present address, as enclosed, be
changed to this - one: Mrs. 8. A.
Blanding, 362 S, Broadway, Lexington,
Ky. This paper is my only,
contact with the press of South
Carolina and as you know has been
for quite a number of years a gift
from Churles J. Shannon, Jr., whom
I have known since he was a small
boy of ten years. Needless to say
nothing in print, is more, or might
say, as interesting to me as the
Camden news?for it was ,ln that
dear old tf&n I. lived five of the
happiest years of my life of now
eighty-three years, plus.
"It will not be long now before
this post office will be bombarding
me with the regular form 'inform correspondents
and publishers and the
like.' With all good wishes for yourself
and the continued life and success
of The Chronicle, I am
" Very sincerely yours,
r"Mr$. Sarah A. Blanding"

What Did You Pay
ForSugar? ReadThis
Listen, Mrs. housekeeper, this Is of
Interest to you. It comes from Leon
Henderson, administrator of the office
of Price Administration In Wash[ington.
Mr. Henderson requests consumers,
already facing strict rationing, to
"police" their own purchases.
In other words, if you find sugar
prices at your favorite grocery store
at much more than one cent higher
on a five pound purchase than in the
first week in December, you can voice
your protest. "If the price is up more
than one cent over what you paid In
early December" says the price administrator,
"you are being gouged"
and he added, "Any increase greater
than that Is profiteering pure and
simple."
So the force of public opinion
should assert itself on all who <|eek
unjustfled profits on this commodity"
he asserted.
