Smith Says ^Cotton
Be Acceptd At 8
Cents Seed Loans
In a telegram received by The
Messenger, Senator E. D. Smith, of
South Carolina announces that the
agriculture department has agreed
that the acceptance of cotton on
the basis of eight cents per pound
as collateral on seed loans will not
alone apply on future deliveries,
bat will be retroactive on all de
liveries made this season. In oth
er words all cotton that has been
delivered together with that as yet
prill be delivered will be credited on
the farmers account at eight cents
per pound, less t&e propeiycleijiic-^
for six months canta^fcharg-
es, such as insurance, storage, etc.
When the seed loan borrower has
delivered sufficient cotton on the
basis of eight cents per pound he
will be permitted to sell the, re
mainder of his crop without any
•additional payment on his seed
Joan. It is to be understood that
When the cotton is finally disposed
of if it should bring a price that
Would show an amount in excess of
We loan the balance will be remit
ted to the farmer. If it should be
sold' for less than eight cents per
pound it would be charged against
the farmer.
This is the result of a confer
ence cklled by senator Smith with
Dr. Warburten department of agri
culture, Mr. U. B. Blalock, president
of the American Cotton Co-opera
tive Association, and Mr. E. F.
Creekmore several weeks ago.

NEWS
The semi-annual meeting of the
council of farm women met at Mt.
Carmel, October 31. There were
representatives from almost every
club; something over 200 present.
Our party went on a school bus and
such a jolly time we did have on
the trip, and when we finally ar
rived at our destination the smil-
ing faces that me^ us gave such a
welcome that we at once felt at
home. B\jt when Miss Lennie
Covin spoke her hearty and beau
tiful welcome we felt as if we had
come to visit old acquaintances.
The lovely church was most art
istically decorated wi^h Boston
ferns, to me the most beautiful
fern, and giant Oxalis with pink
blooms agaihst the green foliage
was simply a picture of lovliness.
But that was no^ all the lovely
flowers—there were yellow and

For example, cantaloupe for the

white Chrysanthemums, the finest
I have seen this season.
I am proud of the farm women
of McCormick County. The most
of them are fine looking, they dress
well for the times, are alive to club
work, not afraid or ashamed of
work, and are good cooks and
housekeepers. We were all happy
t o have our beloved agent with us,
after an illness. We have one of
the finest women in South Caro
lina for our council president. She
is capable to handle the situation
well.
Mrs. Hendrix made fine res
ponse to the hearty welcome. Rev.
Leon T. Pressly, pastor of the
church, also added to the welcome.
He says he doesn’t know who is
Baptis t or Methodist—that is the
way God wants his children to live
.—as Christians and not denomina
tions.
The morning service was taken
up with an address—hot beds, cold
frames and rooting plants by Mr.
E. A. McCormac. This was much
enjoyed by all. The rest of the
morning was taken up in the won
derful club reports, all splendid,
with much congratulating to Beth
any for winning the savel.
Music has a place everywhere. We
were very much favored by sweet
music so well rendered by Rev. and
Mrs. Virgil Dean. As they sang
the last song “Face to Face” the at
tentive audience must have been
something like heaven, where there
is peace, joy and harmony, too it
also reminded me tha t some day
each of us must meet our maker
face to face. How thankful we
should be that God spares us time
to get ready to meet Him face to
face. Some are letting the oppor
tunity pass. Tha t Godly mother
cannot shield her children there;
she can only stand for herself
there. I noticed where some one
said they saw nothing to be thank
ful for the- past few years. How
ungrateful to God for His outpour
ing blessings, ungratefulness for His
blessings and failing, to give t o
God’s cause the tenth He requires
of his children, I believe has caus
ed much of this depression.
Of course we all love and enjoy
having Miss Tarrant with us. Her
address was lovely on music. She
advised the mothers to sing softly
to their children. Her mother must
have sung sweetly and softly to
her; she has such a sweet voice.
Not the least on programme was
the noon hour. The school room
where the lunch was served was
decorated for Hallowe’en. Club girls
dressed in Hallowe’en colors helped
serve the lunch. There were also
lovely flowers on the tables. The
presidents were asked to eat at a
table with the agent and council
officers and the preachers and
their wives. There were three
preachers there.
The Mt. Carmel people make fine
hostesses and we hope to meet
there again sometime. We are
looking forward to meeting with
the historic Long Cane Church at
the spring meeting.
The president was not hard on,
us for her goal for the clubs, jus^
encouraged us and pointed out a
few things we should do and a few
honors we might aspire to.
The Rehoboth community enjoy
ed an Hallowe’en party sponsored
by the H. D. Club and W. M. S.
The decorations were beautiful.
Ghosts, wiches and other hortdble
things met the guests and caused
a scream from fhe children who
were not used to such things. The
games were fine and fortune tell
ing enjoyed. The dining room w»s
the most beautiful place. A witch
stood guard of the table where ap
ples, popcorn and candy were serv
ed, as hogs teeth and bloody bones.

ARE YOU REALLY
YOUR BEST?
If you have invested considerable capital in your
business and given unstintedly of your time in mak*
ing it a good going affair you m^jjeel that that is
all you can do—that the public kn$ws where your
place is and knows you conduct your business in a
fair and business-like manner and they will look you
up when in need of something you hancffe-
That sounds good, and it may have worked in
years past, but times are changing and people are
loo busy to go around from place’ to place and .price
and compare merchandise. They are depending
more on what you tell them through your advertise
ment in the local paper and most of them make out a
list of what they ’expect to buy before they leave
home—often times checking the items on the adv.
cut from the newspaper. It save’s them much time
and they know exactly where to go and what they
will be expected to pay for what they buy.

This office has copy and pictures to suit every
kind of business in its field and will gladly show
you the layout and help you in any way you desire
to get your message to the public. There’s no ex
tra charge for the service the space you use is the
only cost, and that isn’t at all exhorbitant.
t
^The more you tell the more you sell.” Let us help
you tell it.
We also do the best commercial printing that is,
good job printing at prices you can’t complain
about. Billheads, letterheads, envelopes, posters,
letters, statements, charge books, and various other
kinds of regular and special forms gotten out
short notice.
