* % HARE’S MEASURE GETS APPROVAL iBILL DIRECTED AGAINST- DUMP* 1NG OF PRODUCE Measure Prohibits Commission Mer chant From Abandoning Fruits i_ Without Certificate se; An, m i Washington, June 17.—The com mittee on agriculture, after several day’s hearings, today made a favor able report on Congressman Hare’s anti-dumping bill, which makes it a misdemeanor for a commission mer chant receiving goods on consign ment to dump, destroy or abandon fruits, vegetables, truck crops, dairy or poultry products without good and sufficient reason. The penalty provided in the bill for any viola tion thereof will be a fine not to exceed $300, imprisonment not to ex ceed one year or both, within the discretion of the court. Congressman Fulmer, who is a member of the committee on agri culture, has rendered very valuable Service in securing favorable i con- ^deration of the bill. In the hear- gs, a few days ago, he told of a ipment of sweet potatoes from El- oree to a commission merchant in Washington. He was called upon to investigate returns and was advisdd by the consignee that about two- thirds of the car was dumped be cause potatoes were received in damaged condition. He emphasized the fact that if the proposed bill had been in effect at the time the consignee would have been forced to have exhibited a certificate to the eff&ct that they were ui\^narketablc or accounted for the potatoes. Congressmen McMillan and Casque who represent a large number of truck growers, have also manifested a keen interest in the bill and have J cooperated with Mr. Hare in every way possible to secure favorable ac tion. i Mr. Hare stated today that he hopes congress will remain in session long enough for the bill to be reached on the calender and passed at this session.

Advertising is the education of the public as to> who you are, where you are, and what you have to offer in the way of skill, talent or commodity.

Roller, advertising manager for Harry Marcus, a leading clothing dealer’ of Savannah, was a visitor in Barnwell Thursday of last week, coming here in the interest of y the Savannah Water Carnival to be held in the Georgia city July 5th and 6th. Mr. Roller stated that his firm was selected to provide a float for Barnwell County in the great-parade to be held July 5 and he is sparing no expense in its decoration. He says he is out to win the first prize. Miss Nit a Carter, who was selected as "Miss Barnwell” in the recent contest held here, will ride«on the float and has an opportuity of winning $100 in- • gold, which is offered to the county representative haying the largest number of automobiles from her county in line behind her float. According to Mr. Roller, great pre parations are being made by the garni val committee to insure the success of the annual event and bis statement day” in Barnwell, at which time and place the numerous candidates for Styte officers will make, their appeals to the voters of this county. Because of the long list of aspirants for the various offices to be filled this year, from Obvernor on down. It will be necessary to call the meeting at an early hour, probably about ten o’clock. There are nine candidates for the office of Governor alone, among the number being the Hon. Thos. H. Pee.ples, formerly of Barn well, where he practiced law for several years, making his first entry into the political arena as a member of the House of Representatives from Barnwell County. Mr. Peeples, who is a son-in-law of Capt. J. B. Arm strong, treasurer of Barnwell County, is opposed by Edmund B. Jackson, of Wagener, lieutenant governor; Car- roll D. Nance, of Laurens, chairman of the House ways and means commit tee; John G. Richards, of Columbia and Liberty Hill, a member of the railroad commission; I. C. Blackwood, of Spartangurg, solicitor of the 7th judicial circuit; George K. Laney, x>f Cheesterfield, former State Senator; D. A. G. Outzs, of Greenwood, State Senator and John T. Duncan, of Columbia. . ^Others who will address the voters are Thos. B. Butler, of Gaffney, and James O. Sheppard, of Edgefield, can didates for’lieutenant-governor; Jas. W. Shea ley. of Lexington; R. Homer McAdams, of Abbeville, and Ben J. Pearman, of Anderson, candidates for commissioner of agriculture. The unopposed candidates art Secretary ms past glories and looking to resur rect them. So, it would appear, it is with Nathaniel. He just couldn’t re sist the. temptation. a Mr. Dial made several ineffectual efforts to break into the United States Senate before he finally went there through a political accident. Except for the death of Senator Till man at a cruical time, he would never have attained his ambition. He served for one term with mediocre ability, and was promptly thereafter over whelmingly, although fairly, defeated. .At the time of his election he was the .beneficiary of strong support from ■one faction in the State, without which he could not have been elected. After his defeat two years ago, bitterness overwhelmed him. He sulked in his tent. Rumor has been heard to the effect that Mr. Dial, should he euter the race, would this time expect to reap benefit from his sulking. That may or may not be his inducement to run. Politics sometimes makes strange combina tions. If, after his defeat, he per formed any service to the faction op posite to the one which once took him up and elected him, and is now expecting to be paid off, the former senator would seem to be sacrificing a great deal to his insatiable ambi tion.—The Aiken Press and Standard.

Blackville Shipping Many Cart of Cukes Blackville, which is probably the largest shipper of cucumbers in the State, continues to load record-dreek ing numbers of cars. Last week. The People-Sentinel had information that 12 cars were loaded there on the 14th inst. This, however, was an er ror, a s one correspondent places the number at 28 and another at 80. It is also understood that the price has improved with the grade of cucumbers being marketed since the recent bene ficial rains. While the net prices be ing received by growers throughout the county are less than they hoped to receive, many thousands of dollars are being paid to -farmers at a time wheh it is greatly needed. Here's hoping that Blackville and Barnwell will continue to make heavy shipments and that the price will increase daily. Barnwell Leads State. oratory that will be dispensed by the heated.

So desperate had the situation be come that special prayer services ask ing for Divine relief were, held in' many places, especially in . Cheater,' and following the generous rainfall the people in the dry area gathered together again and offered thanks. The writer had an opportunity Sat urday and Sunday to‘see at first h—** some of the effects of the drought along the highway from Barnwell to Charlotte, N. C. Along the route traveled are hundreds of acres plant ed in cotton that were aa bare of vegetation as the day the fields were seeded. Occasionally there would be. a field with a badly broken stand and a few fields with fairly good stands, although the plants are small, but for the most part only bare cotton beds greeted the eye of the traveler. The trip to Charlotte was made by way of Wlnnsboro, Chester, Rock Hill and Fort Mill and the return trip by way of Lancaster, Kershaw and Cam den, where the same distressing con dition existed until the vicinity of tho last named town. The fanners around that section are in bettor shape. The writer was told by a far mer in Lancaster County that Batnr- day’s rain was the first oi say con sequence in 77 days and in his opin ion came too lata to benefit farmers whose crops of cotton not already up. He told of one ssaa who has 1B00 scrap of cotton plant ed and only two up. Nor is the damage confined to tho cotton trap alone. For the aaost part it has been too dry to plant com and where it was planted and cams up, the stalks are very small. How ever, the Piedmont is a wonderful section and (s populated with ener getic people. With very favorable seasons from now on it is possible for them to mtke a fair crop, in the opto» ion of many. Good-bye, Brethren! > * A minister in a certain town in Alabama took permanent leave of his congregation in the fallowing man ner: “Brothers sad sisters, I come to say good-bye.

I don’t think you love mo, bo- cause you have not paid my salary. Your donations are moldy fiuk and wormy applos. and 'by their fruits ye shall know them.’ , ^Brethren, I am going away to a hotter place.
