The people of the Ehrhardt section
are delighted at the new passenger
service ordered between Green
Pond and Ehnhardt on the Coast
Line. However, the service is in the
nature only of an experiment. For
Jthirty days the double daily passenger
service will be tried out. At the expiration
of that time, the railroad
Hhas the permission of the railroad
commission to again bring the matter
up, and the commission will take
the service off if it is found to be too
expensive for the amount of travel.
It is therefore up to the people to use
the service as much as possible.
fPprshans the first definite political
V move of the present political year was
the resignation recently of Senator
Christensen from the senate finance
committee. Of course the' senator
and this friends say there is no politiV'
cal significance attached to the resignation.
But the senator has laid his
foundation well. One would think
"he is the champion tax-reducer in
??&'*" the state from some of the articles
that have been written about him.
J- Already (he is "spoken of" for gov|'5-;
ernor, and hinted at for United
States senator. However, it is too
early tof a definite political announcement.
That may, with con
iiWence, be expected a little later.
The so called "new source of taxation"
began to take effect Wednesday,
when the gasoline tax of two
cents a gallon became effective. A
small tax on gasoline would probably
not be offensive to the people, but
two cents a gallon is unreasonable.
It puts a terrible burden on those
Individuals and concerns that use gas
for industrial and necessary purposes.
The legislature has throughout,
seemingly, acted on the hypothesis
that gasoline is purely a luxury
and tihat every person who drives an
automobile is a joy-rider. As a mat
fter of fact, we do not believe that
oven one-half of the gasoline consnmed
by automobiles is used for
pleasure riding. The biggest consumers
of gasoline for automobile driving
are probably the small town and
-country doctors, on whom the tax
will fall heavily. The joy-riders can
easily dispense with pleasure riding,
tout we cannot very well do without
the good doctors. In its final analysis,
it will be found that the bulk of
the taxes will be paid by a certain
class. This has always been the systeih,
and we presume it always will
he. Still, we do not think a small
and reasonable tax on gasoline for
road purposes would be objectionable
to most people. The corporation license
tax and the inheritance tax we
think are without any~ justification.
The corporations are ridden to
\ death in taxes already. If the
jlp' present system of when you can't
anything . else to tax put
}' it on the corporations coninues
the state will soon be blackballed
by investors. We do not beplieve
in placing an unequal burden
of taxes on anybody, corporations or
i-X'MX. / individuals.
The Skunk.
He was a struggling Scottish
farmer and he had the good fortune
to win the hand of a widow who possessed
in her own right the sum of
5,000 pounds.
Shortly before the wedding a
\ friend went to congratulate him.
"It's a fine thing for ye, this wed<v
' din', Sandy!" he said.
"Aye, it's no bad," replied the
farmer.
"No bad? Why, it's worth 5,000
& pounds tae ye, isn't it?"
"No," sighed Sandy, "less than
that. Ye see, 'twill cost me 17 and
6 pence for a marriage license."

Marketing Basis
Changed by Time
Lexington, Kentucky. ? From
the days when buyers went from
barn to barn and bought tobacco,
to the highly organized Burley Tobacco
Cooperative Marketing association,
which this year is advancing as
much money to growers on a 40
per cent, basis is was paid for the
entire crop last season, is the progress
made in marketing Kentucky's
annual burley tobacco crop of approximately
200,000,000 pounds.
The farmer's fight for good prices
for his product has been one of ups
and downs. The 1920 crop brought
him the highest price is ever received
for his tobacco, but the 1921 crop,
that cost upward of 18 cents a
pound to grow, was sold at a loss,
the season's average being 14 \ cents.
With a view to averting a repetition
of this, Judge Robert W. Bingnam,
Louisville newspaper owner, became
interested in the cooperative marketing
plan, and, in company with sev'
eral growers, visited Barney Barucb
in New York and laid before him a
plan for financing the crop.
Meeting of Growers.
On March 28 a meeting of tobaccc
growers from Wisconsin, Indiana,
Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia,
West Virginia, North Carolina, South
Carolina and Georgia was held here,
at which Aaron Shapiro presented the
plan under which California fruit
' -
and grain growers and other producers
were organized. From this meeting
the movement to organize the
Burley tobacco growers was launched,
and after several months 85 per
cent, of the crop was pledged for the
Burley Tobacco Cooperative Marketing
association incorporated in
North Carolina.
When the Kentucky general assembly
met the first of the year, the
Bingham cooperative marketing bill
was passed in record time and the
association then incorporated in
Kentucky. In the meantime, however,
the association had secured 117
tobacco warehouses in Ohio, Indiana,
West'Virginia and Kentucky for its
- - ? *
exclusive use. me war iiucuiue v;uiporation
and banks in the interested
districts pledged almost $6,000,000
to the association.
On January 26 the warehouses
here were opened for the receipt of
pledged tobacco and it was graded
upon delivery by the grower and a
check for an estimated value of 40
per cent, of the worth of the crop
advanced to the growers. Four days
later the houses throughout the. Burley
district were opened and tobacco
began to pour in.
For Five Years.
The plan will be in operation for
at least five years, the farmers having
signed up for this period of time.
Prior to 1904, the barn to barn
sale was in vogue. After this period
the loose leaf warehouse, where
the tobacco was taken by farmers
and auctioned off, was used extensively.
The first attempt to form a tobacco
pool took place in Cincinnati in 1879,
but was short-lived. The famous
Equity society with its attendant
night riding and other evidence^ of
dissatisfaction, was organized in
1905. The Burley society was organized
along similar lines the next
spring. After several years the
Equity disbanded. The Burley society,
however, continued to operate.
It is said that never more than 30
per cent, of the crop was pledged
to it in any year.
The loose leaf warehouse system
has been in use during the last few
years and there now are several hundred
such houses in Kentucky alone,
with many others in the adjoining
states.
The crux was reached in January,
1921, when farmers offered their
high priced 1920 crops for sale. The
average price paid on the opening |
I day on the whole was rar Deiow tne
cost of production, and many grow!
ers faced ruin.
Their Time Would Come.
"An old man was dying back in
Europe somewhere, and he gathered
his children around him and said:
" 'Listen, kinder, I am dying and I
know I'm dying, so therefore I tell
you the names of all these people
that owe me money.'
"After he had finished the eldest
son said, 'Popper, you are dying and
you know you're dying, so you
should also please tell us the names
of those people which you owe money
to.'
"Ana tne aying man repneu, ue11
them die. and they will tell you.' "

NOTICE CONCERNING PLOWING
IN PUBLIC ROOADS.
Pursuant to recommendation of
the Bamberg County Grand Jury, the
landowners of the county cultivating
lands adjacent and adjoining public
roads are hereby urgently requested
not to plow into or allow their hands
to plow into the roads. Landowners
are requested to plant two or three
rows of crops adjacent to roads parallel
with the road, so that there may
be proper turning space without the
necessity of turning plows in the
roads. It is against the law to allow
plows to damage the roads, <
and ~ it is an unnecessary practice.
The county spends large sums (
of money in road building, and the
roads belong to the people. I have
no desire to piosecute anybody, but

stopped immediately. The farmers
and tenants can cooperate in this re- '
spect, and there should be no necessity
to bring action against anybody.
Full notice is being given before I
take such action.
