W. Long, director of the South Carolina campaign. Dr. Long calls attention of farmers to several important points. 1. Farmers who have tendered acreage reduction offers to the Secre tary of Agriculture must remove from cultivation the actual acreage offered in the amount set foith in the con tract, when they have been notified individually that the offers have been accepted and the reduction plan is operative. They should not eliminate the crop from the retired acres, how ever, until their cwn personal offers are accepted by the government and personal notice to remove the acres is received. 2. C. A. Cobb, cotton adnftnistra- tor, has made it clear that no substi tutions cf acreage can be permitted and that each individual will be re quired to remove the actual acreage which he agreed to remove when sign ing the contract. The local committee will make a careful inspection and ertify as to this before a payment will be made. 8. The state of growth attained by the cotton since the contract was igned or the difference in probable yield taking place between tb* time of signing and the time of removing the crop from cultivation, will have ao bearing on the situation. Neither will the condition of the cotton marker or the action of other growers in the neighborhood. The cotton offered must be removed in CM amount agreed upon. Cetteo Beet met >en Begin*.

Buist, of Black- ville, was fataUy injured Sunday night about ten o’clock in an automobile ac cident on the Batnwell-BUckvillo highway, abcut two miles north of this city, and died Monday morning at 6:40 o’clock at the Baptist hospital in' Columbia. The wreck occurred when a road ster in which young Buist was riding, and which was driven by Craig Bax ley, of Columbia, struck a truck on the highway. The truck had been stopped a short time before by Patrol man Rogers because of defective lights and was parked on the right hand side of the road, headed towards Columbia. Buist and Baxley were returning to BlackviHe from Barn well and the driver evidently did not see the parked truck in time to avoid a collision. Buist suffered a chest in jury and lacerations abcut the faca. Baxley was unhurt. Deputy Sheriff Gilmore S. Harley and Carroll Davis were returning to Barnwell and were about 100 yards from the scene of the wreck when the collision occurred. They immediately placed Buist in their ear and brought him to Barnwell, where first aid was administered by Dr. A. T. RoaseU. He was then carried to Columbia by his parents, arriving there about 8:00 a. m. Monday. Hit death occurred a few hours later. b He is survived by his parents; two sisters.

C lumbia, July 24.—Revenue to mun cipolities and counties from the beer tax will be di*tribu'ed between now and August 1, Walter G. Query, chairman of the State tax commis- «ion, said today. Clerks and accountants in the com mission's office .are n:w computing the amounts due/eich county, city or town, and distribution of the m.ney is expected to be made within a week or ten days. Under the State beer act, 40 per cent cf the revenue goes to the State. 40 per cent to the county where the beverage is sold and 20 percent to the town or city. Where sale is out side incorporate municipalities, the tax is split 50-50 between the State and county. From April 14, when beer sales be gan in the State, until June 30, the tax yielded a little mere than $90,000. Query said a large amout of detail ed work was necessary to figure dis tribution of the money. Two addi tional clerks have been employed. Advertise in The People-Sentinel.
