* ^
Officials of the American Automo-
•bile Association have served notice
that they will fight foe repeal bf the
tax oa automobiles. 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. Creech Sunday.
Mr. G. M. Hogg and family, accom
panied by Mrs. W. H. Creech and chil
dren, of Ulmer, were visitors in this
mutton Sunday.

family spent Sunday at the hom« of
Mr. and Mre. J. M. 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

For years the farmers have been

a large scale to brirg about co-opera

Secretary Jardine ogain urges such
organization in ni? urnual report.
It is true this remedy would cma

farmer. But it is exceedingly diffi-

By tho very nature of their accu«
