HARE’S MEASURE
GETS APPROVAL
iBILL DIRECTED AGAINST- DUMP*
1NG OF PRODUCE
Measure Prohibits Commission Mer
chant From Abandoning Fruits

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.

What Advertising Is.
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. Thfe
only man who should not advertise is
the man who has nothing to offer the
world in the way of commodity or
service.—’Elbert Hubbard.
Mr. R. B. Hardin, of Kline, is a
candidate for reelection to the office
of Magistrate at Kline, in which capa
city he has served in a most accept
able manner since his election two
years ago. In conversation with a rep
resentative of this paper yesterday,
he stated that in all probability he
will have no opposition this year,
which is taken as an indication that
the people of Kline are satisfied with
his administration of the affair* of
the office. v

Makijpg Great Plans.for
Savannah Water Carnival
Mr. John R. 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.

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.

Breaking a long period of drought
--in some sections of afat weeks and
in others of two and • half months—
copious rains fell throughout the upper
part of the State and extended into
North Carolina Saturday and Sundny.
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.
