DAVIES, Editor and Proprietor. Entered at the post office at Barnwell, S. C., as second-class matter. . SUBSCRIPTION RATES: One Year $1.50 Six Months .90 Three Months .50 (Strictly in Advance.) THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1935 Thert Ought to Be a Law. A Judge G. Duncan Bellinger, of Co lumbia, says that there should be a law in South Carolina against hitch hiking, or “thumbing a ride,” andl points out that Virginia is the only State in the Union that has such a etatute on the books. Judge Bellin ger believes that such a law would tend to decrease the large number of rovers oni the highways. It would also protect the kindly but misguided drivers who are still unwise enough to pick, up strangers along the road and give them “lifts.” It has happen ed* too often that the owner of the car was “taken for a ride” by his transient passenger. Of course, there is no obligation on the part of the driver to stop and pick up thesfe hitch-hikers, but so many of them are such well-dressed, nice looking youths that quite often he is tempted 1 to take a chance against his better judgment, and one never knows when one of these agreeable appearing chaps may turn out to be a hardened criminal. We are told that an effort was made in the legis- latuit* two or three years ago to abolish the nuisance, but the bill was defeated. Pertaps another effort will be made at the coming session^ We hope7 with Judge Bellinger, that it will be successful. In the meantime, kindly motorists are advised to be blind to the wagging thumb and ingratiating smile of these knights of the road.

The corn loans of 1933 and 1934 were good examples of how such loans calf take surpluses off the market for use in years of shortage, and give farmers the full benefit ^f price increases. y Under the ever-normal granary plan, in bumper crop years the gov- enment would make loans at low rate g of interest on fgrm products that could ING in SAID BLACKVILLE SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. 19, That an election One hundred and fifty-four acres of land in Seven Pines School District, will be held on Tuesday, October the. bounded 1 as follows: North by A.

One of Governor Johnston’s staff Colonels has presented the chief ex ecutive with a handsome new watch.. The timepiece is unique in that the usual numerals on the dial have been replaced with the 12 letters of his name, “Olin Johnston.” But how will the Governor tell inquiring friends the time o’ dayl For instance, when other watches and clocks record the time as being a quarter past four, will Governor Johnston say, “It’s exactly I past N,” or “It’s ru>w N:I”? And when he makes an engagement for 12:30 p. m., will he fix the time at “O past N” or merely “N:Q”? To the lay mind, such computations of time are apt to be confusing, as there are no less than three N’s and a like num ber of O’s on the dial. er and prices were higher, farmers coitld. pay off the loans and sell the stored commodities. But, if prices stayed low, they might elect not to repay the loans but insUad to let the government take title to the pledged commodities. In the past, Mr, Boylston explains, the weak point of loans on farm com modities has been that there was no means by which the commodities pledged for a loan could be absorbed 1 . It thus became a s urplus. However, the amendments provide that the Adjustment Administration could! use some of the proceeds of processing! naited. taxes to take title to the stored.com modities, without moving them from the farms, and could arrange with producers to make adjustment which would offset the surplus, and to re ceive the stored commodities in pay ment for such adjustments. Thus the surplus would be absorbed, and at the same time consumers would be protected from any possible shortage, as the stored commodity would guar antee adequate consumption reserves. further, that m said election only qualified voters residing in said Blackville School District shall be al lowed to vote, as is provided by law.

The U. S. Department of Agriculture is continuing its efforts to cut down *uch misbranding and is centering its efforts against dishonest seed dealers in the region where Abruzzi is well euited, says R. W. Hamilton, exten sion agronomist. For a number of years the Depart ment has planted samples of seed obtained from Alabama, where it was sold as Abruzzi rye. The identifica tions made from these plantings indi cate the percentage of misbranded lots has been materially reduced. None of the samples of rye sold a s Abruzzi in Alabama during the fall of 1933 were found to be strictly northern in type, and only three were so found in 1934. Mr. Hamilton passes on to South Carolina farmers the Department’s advice that seed buyers be cautions in view of the similarity of seed of the different varieties of rye. The pur chaser should attempt to purchase aeed grown in the locality where the desired variety is produced. He should be careful not to be misled by the of fer for sale of seed at abnormally low prices. Reliable dealers go to an ex pense to be assured of the correctness of their representations, >and it is natural that they should be compen sated for this care. The buyer should Insist that the seed be properly labeled and! report any irregularities to the State seed officials.
