Clemson College, July 22.—Rental
checks for reduced cotton acreages
will be distributed from Washington
promptly according to present plans
when the local and county committees
and county agents certify that the
cotton agreed upon has been removed,
says Dr. W. 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.

James Buist, the 20-year old son of
Mr. and'Mrs. H. L. 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

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
