This, notice is an editorial in the Am erican Motorist for December under tbt hiding -Tkink It Over, Mr. Preal- ^ -^1 editorial refers to President CoalMge't sUtement in his message to Congress that he did not favor the repeal of the throe per cent war ex cise tax on automobiles at this time. Bays the editorial, "At wo see it the wbak iiak la ths Administration's posi tion is that it should favor tha con- of this lovy, not primarily tha Government needs the but, forsooth, because the ear ire derivV a special advantage from the moooy expended by the Gov ernment on Federal aid," Then, figures are quoted, showing that taxes paid by car owners up to Juao 80, 1926, amounted to $1,100,- 866J88 while the total of Faderal aid expenditures up until the same date was only 1499,200,586 and the total Fpderal aid authorised up to June 80, 1929 is only $840,000,000. So far, so good. But the automobile association offi cials Concede that a "very real advan tage does accrue from the aid given by the Government.” Since car owners do derive an ad vantage from this construction of roads why not divert this three per oent tax to Federal aid at least in such amount as would make the Fed eral aid expenditures, at least, equal the total taxes paid and get more advantage from the construction of ■sore roads. Think that over, too. Hercules, Dec. 21.—Little Miss Ruth Hogg, of Ulmer, is spending the holidays with little Miss Margaret Creech. « Mr. and Mrs. J.T, Kitchings, of Columbia, were the dinner guests of Mr. and Mrs. M. L.

Templeton, of Double Pond. * * It was my pleasure to spend a de lightful hour at the Barnwell Baptist church Sunday evening, the occasion being a pre-Christmas song service rendered by a choir of some two dozen ladies and gentlemen voices of the choir. I was told that Mrs. Solo?, men Blatt, that very efficient pianist' >f the Jewish faith, was nagging in lending of her time and talents to the success of such a splendid program, while the direction of the music was under the leadership of Mra. Ira Falas. I have lived over four States and in as many as a dozen places, and have yet to see a church choir in a town this size so well trained; The church was beautifully^ decorated with Christ mas greens and holly branches. Discovery is made down in Allen dale County that the farming lands in that section are fine for producing tobacco, and Barnwell lands are about the same. On the heels of this state ment comes the prospect of Augusta becoming a big tobacco manufactur ing centre, and according to The Chronicle'newspaper, a long hard pull is to be made in that direction, hav ing received some encouragement from a tobacco expert. Now . is the time to pull for and preach diversiftca- tion next year and get sway from the one crop system so long prevalent throughout this section. Hard times seems to have vanished over in Orangeburg County according to the report made public by Probate Judge Hughes who publishes to the world that during the week ending December 11th sixteen couples pre pared to sail the matrimonial seas in pared to sail the matrimonial seas in his baliwick.

Secretary Jardine ogain urges such organization in ni? urnual report. It is true this remedy would cma m&ry of the ills now beetling the farmer. But it is exceedingly diffi- cnlt to obtain. , By tho very nature of their accu« ftttlon, the farmery are hampered in efforts at organizing. They do not form a compact group, as do the frorkers in a psirticular branch of in- •*p**: * ' i/ t Then, many farmers are specialists.
