There is a possibility that some of
the speakers may have to exchange
nights, but this program seems to
lie approximately correct. We run
this risk in order that, we may noti

sufficient time for all to be pres

and profit from them.
Besides the above program, five
laymen from McCormick and other

. that everyone who cosies is going
r to have a very real part in the
sendees through prayer and medi
tation.

WASHINGTON, April 2.—A time
and place fatre set today for op
ening skirmishes in what promises
to rank second in fierceness only
to the congressional tax war—the
campaign for cash payment of
the soldiers bonus.
Acting Chairman Crisp, leav
ing for a week’s rest after the
strenuous House battle over the
revenue bill, announced that Mon
day, April 11, the ways and means
committee will open hearings on
bonus legislation. v
this- group are pending
numerous bills to pay holders of
veterans certificates in cash, the
50 per cent of face value that re
mains unpaid. Some would re
sort to a bond issue to raise the |,the country,
necessary $2,200,000,000 but the
largest group wants to issue new
currency to retire the certificates.
“I am opposed to the bill,”
Crisp said, “but we promised the
advocates a hearing and they will
be given the opportunity to pre
sent their case.” ' ^
President Hoover already has
stated publicly his absolute oppo
sition to such legislation. House
leaders in both parties, fresh from
a victorious budget-balancing tax
fight, also are against the plan,
while the Senate has ordered ten
per cent slashes in all supply bills
in a program of rigid Federal eco
nomy. ,
Against this opposition propon
ents of cash payments contend they
will not injure the Federal Treas
ury- >;
“We want to cash the bonus
certificates by issuing new cur
rency” Representative Patman
(Democrat) Texas, said today. “We
want^ to convert a non-circulating
government obligation—money.”

104 1-2 Bushels Corn
Per Acre On Plot
W. L. WHITE,.
Chairman.
NEWBERRY, April 6.—Raymond
Mayer, 4-H club boy of Newberry
County, produced 104 1-2 bushels
of Lowman’s yellow corn per acre
on his club plot in 1931, according
to records on file in the office of
County Agent P. B. Ezell.
Yeung Mayer selected a plot of
bottom land and gave the best pos
sible preparation to the seed bed
before planting. His corn was
planted May 15 and was fertilized
before planting with 200 pounds of
acid phosphate and 50 pounds of
muriate of potash per acre. The
corn was side-dressed with 200
pounds of Chilean nitrate of soda
in two applications; the first on
June 23 and the second a week lat
er.
The width of the rows was 42 in
ches and the plants were spaced 11
inches apart in the drill. The
weather conditions were ideal
throughout the growing season.
Young Mayer was winner of a
district prize in the Piedmont dis
trict on his club achievement.
Bruce Barton, widely known au
thor who wrote “The Man Nobody
Knows,” has written a special tri
bute to South Carolina for the pro
gram. It will recall the State’s
history and describes her indus
tries, schools and resorts. First of
all the states in the manufacture
of cotton, and third in the making
of textiles and . generating of
hydro-electric power, Mr. Barton
emphasizes that South Carolina re-;
mains a land of friendly planta
tions and farms whose gardens an
nually attract more and more visi-
•.x)rs.
The achievements of Charleston’s
oldest musical organization, the
Society of St. Cecilia, will be re
called when Mozart’s “Marriage of
Figaro” played by Erno Rapee and
his orchestra as the featured musi
cal number of the program. Found
ed in 1762, the society sponsored
in 1797 what is believed to have
been the second public perform
ance of Mozart’s work in America.
Lily Strickland, South Carolina’s
foremost composer, will be repre
sented on the program through
“Mah Lindy Lou,” one of her oest
known works, to be sung by Eliza
beth Lennox, contralto of the radio
and concert stage. Miss Strick
land, who is at present residing :n
Woodstock, New York, was consult
ed in the preparation of the musi
cal part of the program. While she
had written a great deal chat was
redolent of South Carolina, some
probably more pretentious, “Mah
Lindy Lou” was best known to the
people of the state. For this rea
son she thought that it would best
typify her contribution to the
music of South Carolina.
In a lighter vein, the orchestra
and soloists will offer Irving Ber
lin’s “Crinoline Days,,” “Crying for
the Carolinas” and a medley of the
state’s popular songs.
