Sine die adjournment was reach ed at 2:28 a. m., today. It came after the legislators, recalled in an anti-climax to the session to iron out differences'in a school bill, had adopted the free conference report on the teachers’ note bill, embody ing changes recommended by Gov ernor Blackwood in the bill to fi nance public schools. \ / Only a handful of members was present in either house at actual adjournment. Tired by their labors of more than four months, a ma jority left the capitol shortly after midnight. Enrollment of acts for ratification delayed the formal end of the session for more than an hour. I The committee carried out in structions given it earlier today by both legislative branches to remedy defects in the education-tax bill which were said to threaten either A deficit or its veto by the governor. Eliminating objectionable' feat ures of the education-tax bill, which the legislature had passed but had n^t ratified, the commit tee incorporated its school re- trenebment^and tax revision fea tures in a pending bill to pay teachers' salaries ih notes. Legislative consideration of state wide matters had been limited to this bill after it prevented sine die adjournment Saturday night and was sent to the free conference. The conference report deleted a house amendment • to divert beer tax revenue to schools, allowing *it^ d remain allocated to the state, counties and cities. The state’s portion is to be applied to the ap propriation bill. The measure was estimated to raise $24,000 by a $2 license tax on retail beer dealers and $200 on wholesalers effective July 1, 1933. Wholesalers were defined as dealers selling more than five-gallon lots. Instead of being effective only from July 1, 1933, to July 1, 1934, like the discarded education-tax bill, the measure was drafted to be permanent. Conferees said no new revenue taxes other than those in the pre vious bill were involved. Income tax increases would take effect as of last January 1 instead of July 1, 'and would go permanently to schools except for a portion of the 1934 tax embodied in the appro priation bill. All intangibles tax was retained, and the discount on soft drink and stamp taxes, said to have been an- - . t . he other objectionable feature of the the nroceeds of the sale will be an- education tax om, was restored to S ed to the payment of the said the original 10 per cent discount ces and the cost of said seizure instead of five, and sale, to wit: NOTICE OF TAX SALE. r - ~ i - Under and by virtue of a warrant Issued to me by the County Treas urer of McCormick County, I have aeized the following described proo- «fty to satisfy the taxes due the State of South Carolina and the County of McCormick, for the years 1929, 1930 and 1931, and the same will be sold to the highest bidder lor cash oh salesday in June 1933, during the legal hours of sale in front of the Court House Door at McConqick, South Carolina, and the nroceeds of the sale will be ap plied to the payment of the said taxes and the cost of said seizure and sale, to wit: The prooerty of Estate of Asa Hall, and is described as follows: Nine (9) Acres of land, more or less, in School District No. 1, Mc Cormick Countv, s C.. bounded on the North by lands of Mrs. J.

CLEMSON COLLEGE, May 20.— The plans to restore normal buyinr newer to farm products through the Emergency Agricultural Act in volve, in addition to controlled ? n- f lation,. the retirement of around 40 million acres of land in the Unit ed States from the production of certain major cash crops—cotton, tobacco, wheat, rice, com, hogs, cotton, milk and its products, says D. W. Watkins, extension agricul tural economist. Widespread in terest .is evident in the plans being mapped out by Washington author ities in this and other features of the Act. The three means by which this retirement of acreage in cash crops may/be secured under the Act are stated thus by Mr. Watkins: (1) The allotment plan under which a processing tax will be col lected from licensed manufacturers and processors on each unit of pro duct handled for human consump tion in this country. Funds so col lected will .be used by the Secre tary of Agriculture in making bene fit payments to farmers who con tract with the government to re duce production. These benefit payments are to be made only to those farmers who pertorm their part of the contract, the purpose being to reward them, for aiding in reducing the surplus, to the extent of making the purchasing power of their commodities equal to what it was during the pre-war period. (2) The land-leasing plan under which the government would rent from the farmer the actual land sind prevent it being used for grow ing any of the major cash crops with which the law deals. (3) In the cage of cotton only, the so-called Smith, option plan may be used. This allows the cot ton grower who contracts to re duce his production 30 per cent un der that of 1932 ah option on the same amount of government-own ed cotton to be sold at the grow er’s order up to January 1, 1934. The grower stands a chance of making something bn' a rise in the market in return for reducing pro duction loss from a fall in price- “The direct benefit under these three provisions will go odly to growers who enter definite agree ments to reduce production,” Mr- Watkins points out. “Outsiders, or those who do not enter such agreements, will continue on a world market basis. TTie. more they produce the lower the general price, while the greater will be the benefits to insiders. ^ “Regulations 'governing the ex act terms lor applying the three general principles are being de veloped in Washington- through hearings with various interests, and full information is to be made available before contracts are of fered growers. The Secretary o*. Agriculture is permitted wide dis cretionary powers in the adminis tration of the Act, most of its pro visions being permissory rather than mandatory.” Alumnae of Winthrop At Commencement The membership of eleven class es—’92, ’93, ’94, ’95, ’08, Tl, T2, T3, ’14, ’30, ’31—is scheduled to return co Winthrop College at the ap proaching commencement season. This membership numbers 1135. Several of the above mentioned re- uning classes have been out of col lege twenty-five or more years. It will be seen that the class of ’08 is celebrating its twenty-fifth anni versary. In spite of the years that have intervened since many oi these earlier classes were enjoying college life, the letters coming to the alumnae office indicate a great deal of interest in coming back and being a college girl once more. The members of the eleven class es mentioned above are invited U return and occupy a room in one of the dormitories free of charge. They may secure meals in the col lege dining hall. Any alumna who expects to b^ at the college for any part of th commencement has been requested, through the Alumnae iNuws, v, write to Miss Leila A. Russell at the college, stating whether or not slu whishes a room reserved for hex and telling further whether or not a plate at the alumnae luncheon i at one o’clock Saturday, June 3, is to be reserved. The price for this luncheon is fifty cents. Tickets o* admission for alumnae to gradua tion exercises on Monday morning. June 4, are secured through the alumnae office, if this office is not ified by May 31st. txi— Farm Mortgage Act Lighten Debt Burden CLEMSON CCILLEGE, May 22.— Perhaps when the terms and con ditions of the Emergency Farm Mortgage Act are better * known there will be more interest among farmers of the Cotton States in this section of the much discussed Farm Act,” says D. W. Watkins, extension economist, who states that the Mortgage Act is aimed at lightening the mortgage debt bur den of American farmers. “The act is made up almost en tirely of admendments to the ex isting Federal Farm Loan Act,” Mr. Watkins explains. “It is provided but is protected against, that after 60 days from the date ANDERSON COLLEGE ISSUES COMMENCEMENT INVITATIONS / Time counts when yonVe in paint I wist on genuine Bayer Aspirin, not only for its safety but 'for 'its speed.

This will average about one per cent under. present rates and will mean a direct saving of about eleven millions in interest per year. It is also provided that all pay ments on the principle of these mortgages may be deferred for a period^ of five years where the new terms are otherwise met. Even the interest payments may be postponed if they cannot be met. The holders of Federal Land Bank bonds are protected from Iosj through appropriations by the gov ernment to the Land Banks. Plans are included for the liquidation of the Joint Stock Land Banks which have not proven generally popular with farmer borrowers. “The explanation of indirect benefits from this new farm mort gage legislation is based upon the effect that it is hoped this govern ment action will have on the gen eral farm mortgage situation.While the Federal Land Banks hold about one billion in farm mortgages there arc outstanding about 7 1-2 billions worth of mortgages held by life in surance companies and others. It is expected that these agencies will in some measure follow the lead oi ne Land Banks ~in refinancing mortgages they hold. Provision is also made by which mortgages held by them may be transferred to the Federal Land Banks. However, both parties to the mortgage must .agree to do this and the figure at Which such mortgages may be transferred must not be over 50 per cent of the ‘normal value’ of .,i2 land plus 20 pqj: cent of the in ured value of the buildings. •‘Farmers who take out mortgages with or have mortgages transfer red to the Land Banks within two ^.ars will receive the same rate, t.ven above. However, they must ^ u members of a farm loan asso ciation to which they will subscribe ; j out of every $100 received, this to constitute the stock in the asso ciation and to stand as security for the loans.

Pre-Square Poisoning To Check Boll Weevil CLEMSON COLLEGE; May 20. -, Boll weevil emergence in all parts of the state wains of the necessity of preparing to fight the early In vaders by the use of pre-square poison. By killing the overwinter ing weevils, many of the early squares' will be saved and the first generation of weevils will be ma- xerially reduced, advises Alfred Lutken, extension entomologist 7 of The mixture of one pound calcium arsenate, one gallon of water, and one gallon of molasses has been popular with cotton grow ers of the state for a number of years. Factors which have brought about the popularity of this well known 1-1-1 mixture are (1) cheap ness of materials, equipment, and ’abor; (2) effectiveness as a poison, in the pre-square stage- and (3» the small amount of arsenical thai is added to the soil. The last point is of considerable importance since many of the lighter soil^ have been injured by heavy applications of calcium arsenate dust. The first application of poison should be made, Mr. Lutken says, as soon as squares begin to form, if weevils have been found in the community. Additional applica tions should be made at intervals of five to seven days. By the time three to four applications have been made the squares are so large that the weevils are feeding them and sweetened poison is no longer effective. Following the pre-square poison, direct loans to individual farmers Lutken suggests frequent ta- ubout the same terms except that ^station counts and when about the interest rate is Jive per cent. A reservation of $5 of each $100 is made in funds loaned to individual 10 per cent of the squares are punc tured, at least one application of calcium arsenate dust, four or five borrowers, this eventually to be- pounds to the acre, will help to come Stock In a farm loan associa- check the weevils until the early tion when there are enough bor- bolls are too hardened to be attack- rowers in one locality.” Jed, L , : , CROQUIGNOLE WAVES $6.50.

Over 1,800 Beer Permits Issued In South Carolina COLUMBIA, May 20.—Federal permits to sell legalized 3.2 per cent beer in South Carolina have been issued to over 1,800 retail dealers in all parts of the state;, Fred H. Wannamaker, acting Unit ed States collector of internal rev enue; said today. There have been approximately 225 permits granted to merchants to sett-3£ per cant urines and bev erage wholesalers have reached ap proximately 150 in all parts of the state. .Mr. Wannamaker, who sometime ago predicted that there would be- about 1,000 permits issued in the state, said that the number of ap plications had been growing by leaps and bounds in recent week? and that the total number would probably reach the 2,500 mark be fore the full number was reached. Although no county check is kept by the office, it is thought that more beer permits have been granted in Richland county than in any other. Federal licenses cost $5 for re tail dealer and $20 for wholesaler sl The free conference report op the school tax bill, adopted Wednes day night by the general assem bly, revises the state beer act by providing for licenses for bevera.aje dealers. The state will collect $2 a year for retail penults and $200 a year for wholesale permits.* The amendment to the act pro vides that the license fees will become due on July 1 of each year, but that tdr the rest of this year the state tax commission will col lect license fees on July 1—one- half of the yearly fee, for the per iod of the rest of the year. The fees charged by the state will be prorated quarterly and any dealer commencing business dur ing one of these quarters will be required to pay for the quarter in which business is commenced and during the remainder of the year. No refunds will be made for deal ers ceasing business. The state also imposes sales taxes on the beverages. , Violation of the state permit clause would be a misdemeanor.. Violators will be subject to a fine cf not less than $10 and not more tlx an $100 or> from 10 to 30 days. Each day that business is carried on without a state permit consti tutes a separate ofiens?*
