Cotton Twine Is Urged.
Columbia, Oct. 29.—The use of
cotton twine by the pdstoffice depart
ment, legardless of the co-t, was urg
ed upon Postmaster General Farley
today in at Teter from Congressman H
IP. Fulmer, of Orangeburg.
Fulmer pointed out the government
had he’ped increase the price of cot-
Fa^mer.* in Barnwell County who
aie inteiested in the corn-hog reduc
tion program are given below a brief
digest of the plan for their considera
tion.
The plan for reducing corn acre
age by at least 20 per cent and hog
farrowing by at least 25 per cent in
1934, announced by Secretary Wallace
and the Administrator of the Agri
cultural Adjustment Act involves a
maximum of $350,000,000 in benefit
payment* to American farmers who
participate in the corn and hog ad
justment piogiam. The plan is de
signed to remedy the distress that
has afflicted corn and hog producers
for the past 12 years. Between one
and one-half and two million faimeis
in this country produce corn and hogs
as a major enterprise. The majority
of these aie in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois,
Missouii, Kansas, Nebraska, lowai,
South Dakota, Minnesota and Wiscon
sin.
Payments to each farmer for corn
reduction will be in the form of a
lental at the rate of 30 cents per
bushel on the average preceding three-
year production of the contracted
acreage, pioviding the grower agrees
to reduce hi* acreage not less than
20 per cent of the average grown dur
ing the last thiee years. Each farmer
who participates in the program will
receive adjustment payments of $5
per head on the number of hogs
equivalent to 75 per cent of the aver
age annual number of hogs fai rowed
on his farm and sold by him during
the pa.*t two years, provided he re
duces his number of litters 25 per
cent, and the number of hogs sold 25
per cent. The announcement of the
eom-hog program for 1934 follows
the completion of the emergency hog
program under which 6,300,000 pigs
and 220,000 sow* weie purchased for
slaughter, and which gave farmers a
return of approximately $31,000,000.
A processing tax on live hogs, at
an initial rate of 50 cents per hun-
dtedweight, effective Nov. 5, 1933,
ha* been announced to provide fund-
to finance this emergency hog pro
gram which payments have already
been made to farmers, and to provide
funds for fuithev payments to farm
ers under the corn-hog production
adjustment program for 1934. In ac
cordance with the legulations, the
processing tax will be increased to
$1 per hundredweight on Dec. 1, 1933;
to $1.50 per hundredweight on Jan.
1, 1934; and to $2 per hundredweight
on Feb. 1, 1934. It will continue at
that late aftei Feb. 1 until the end
of the 1934-35 hog marketing year,
unless the Secretary finds it neces
sary to adjust the late as provided
under the Act.
Prices aie now approximately $4
per hundredweight, fes.* the fair ex
change value of hogs. The rate of the
initial processing tax on live hogs
was established at les* than the full
difference between the current aver
age farm piice and the fair exchange
value of hcg.*, as a result cf testi
mony presented at a public hearing
which indicated that imposition of the
full difference bebtween current aver
age farm price and fair exchange value
of hog* would cause an accumulation
of surplus stocks and depression in
farm prices cf hog*.

The Barnwell high' school football
team suffered one^of its most crushing
defeats Friday afternoon at Bamberg
when the heavier and more experienc
ed Carlisle Fitting school eleven
swamped their younger opponent*.
37 to 6, in a one-sided exhibition. In
spite of the fact that they were over
whelmed by a 31 to 0 score, the Barn
well boys, who fought gamely through
out the uneven contest, staged a 4th
period rally and crossed the Carlide
goal line—a feat that could not be
accomplished by such high school
teams as Oiangeburg and Sumter and
Junior College of Augusta. In fact,
it is .*aid that no opponent had ad
vanced beyond Carlisle’s 35-yard
stripe this season.
Barnwell managed to hold the
favored Carlisle team to only two
touchdowns in the fir*t half. Car
lisle leceived the initial kickoff * and
promptly chalked up a first down, but
Cepe intercepted a forward pass and
•raced 20 yeardg before being bi ought
down. Barnwell was unable to gain

netted their lone touchdown. They

leged Effort to Freeze Out Small
Manufacturers.
Cotton groweis who take part in
the 1934 adjustment program seeking
to restrict cotton planting to 25 mil-
ion acres will receive rental pay
ment* varying ftom $3 to $11 ar^
acre according to productivity. The N
Agricultural Adjustment Administra
tion is prepaiing to launch a cam
paign to oiganize producers into
county associations for cotton pro
duction control next year. Producers
taking part in the program will be
paid, in addition to lental payments,
a benefit on the domestic portion of
their crop if the average price during
next season is below parity.
Loans on the curient cotton crop to
enable growers to market their cot
ton -in an orderly way and not be
forced to sell at low market price-' be
cause they need cash will be made by
a Commodity Credit Corporation with
a 3-millon dollar capital .stock. Secre
tary Wallace in explaining the loan
said: “Loans will be 10 cents per
pound at the warehouse on cotton
classing low middling or better as to
grade, 7-8 inch or better as to staple;
and 8 cent- pgr pound on cotton under
7-8 inch.” These loans will be avail
able to farmers who agiee to cooper
ate with the Secretary of Agriculture
in the 1934 cotton acreage reduction
progiam. Faimers who cooperate in
the program will get their benefit pay
ments in addition to the loan.
J. Gregg Moody, Sr.
Word wa* received here Monday of
the death in Waycioss, Ga., of J
Gregg Moody, Sr., a native of Barn
well. He died at 8:20 o’clock thau
morning at the home of his daughter
Mrs. B. G. Parks, with whom he hat
been making his home for the pasi;
few years. Funeral service* were con
ducted in Waycroas Tuesday with
interment in that city. He was 61'
years old.
Mr. Moody was engaged in the
mercantile business in Barnwell when
he -uffered a stroke of paralysis
game by the refeiee when he tried to sevetal years ago. He never recover
“knee" Edward Richardson, Barn- ed from its effect?#. He lived in
well’s diminutive quarterback, after
the latter had caught a pass and
stumbled. In spite of the fact that
the Carli-le playcis weie confidently
assuring their supporters that “no
body scores on Carlisle,” Barnwell
continued to diive their opponents
down the field and Brutus Baxley car
ried the ball over the goal line /-land
ing up. The try for extia point was
good but both teams were declared
off-side and Barnwell failed to convert
on the next attempt. Score, Carlisle
31, Barnwell 6.
Carlisle scored one more touchdown
in the final minute? of play and tnc
game ended with the ball in their pos
session in Carlisle tenitory after a
final Barnwell drive was halted.
While they were outplayed during
most of the game, the Barnwell boys
put up a game fight and succeeded in
making about ten first downs in addi
tion to the touchdown that smeared
Carlisle’s record. In fact, they look
ed better on offtrue than on defense,
but were outweighed to^ much in the
line as well as in the backfield to
make a really creditable showing.*

Negro Killed by Train.
Garfield Wilson, negro, was killed
by en Atlantic Coast Line passenger
tiain about two miles west of Bam-
wel Wednesday afternoon cf last
week- Wilson was lying by the track
and a step on the train cut the top of
hi* head off. An inquest was held by
Coroner Jas. T. Still and a member
of the train crew testified that the
negro raised up at the approach of
the train and then laid down again.
He evidently raised up again as the

Orangeburg, Oct. 28.—What ap
pears to be an effort to freeze out the
smaller lumber manufacturers of this
State by alleged threats of court ac
tion for non-compliance in full with
the lumber code was btought to the
attention of General Hugh S. John
son, national recovery administrator,
by Congressman H. Fulmer in a
telegram this afternoon. Mr. Fulmer
urged that an immediate investiga
tion be made.
The full text of the telegram fol-
ows:
Numerous small lumber mills, ^
operating with six to twenty-five em
ployees in South Carolina, selling
their output altogether locally, cannot
comply with the code operated unden
by large manufacturers of lumber.
They have no extra capital in many
instances, paying their running ex
penses from theft- weekly receipts
from sale* of lumber. A representa
tive of the Southern Pine association,
a combination composed of large
manufacturers is understod to b#
operating as an agent of the govern
ment, and is now checking the*e
plants in South Carolina, threatening
court proceedings.
“1 am informed that this associa
tion is going after, largely, small
plants, who are unable to pay mem
ber-hip dues in this association. I
find these mills unable to fix prices
on what they have to sell and depend
ing on local market prices, which will
not permit them to fully comply.
However, I find them patriotically
running their mills on a common aense
bail* with fair wages in line with
prices received for their lumber.
“I also find to do otherwise they
would have to close down, which seems
to be what the S. P. A. would be de
lighted to have them do and I have
advised saw miH owner.* in my dis
trict, above referred to, to continue aa
best they can, awaiting a representa
tive from your organization to coma
down to make an investigation so m
to get a real picture of the situation,
to that agreement* will be worked
out that they can comply with and
that would meet the situation. I
earnestly lequest prompt investiga
tion. Please wire if you will comply
with my request. Please, also, inform
me if the repr^entative of the S. P.
A. i« operating as an emplc£fee of
your administration; if not, by whdse
authority is he permitted to threaten
mill owners with court proceedings.’*
