.. r J , HIS graph shows what happened
* when the cotton grower cooper
ated with’ the Agricultural Adjust
ment Administration to reduce the
cotton acreage In 1933. Had it not
been fWr the plow-up campaign and
the flue spirit of cooperation exhib
ited by southern growers, disaster
would have befallen the Cotton Belt
in the fall of 1933. The above graph
tells this better than words. A poten
tial yield of seventeen and one-half
million ha’.es was i.deced to thir
teen and ofie-tentb million bi/ies by
the action of the Agricultural Ad
justment Administration and. as a
result, the income that the cotion
grower received from his lint cotton
was naarly doubled. Realizing these
fa-ts. cotton growers are expressing
a desire to cooperate In future ad
justment programs.

Taxpayers’ League
Is Still In Fight
Efforts of the Farmers’ and Tax
payer* 1 League to secure reductions
in state, county and school ex
penses have met with “marked suc
cess” but “very little success” re
sulted from its efforts to secure a
reorganization of county and state
governments “so that we may have
greater efficiency and less ex
pense,” officials of the league said
In a statement issued recently.
The officials said the reduction
In state, county and school ex
penses amounted to $10,570,039 or
about 32 per cent over a period of
three years. They pointed out that
state appropriations for 1931 to-
* taled $10,371,762; for 1932, $9,255,-
343, and for 1933 (18 months),
$9 ,043,790, Counties appropriations
for the three years were, respect
ively, $7,359,613, $6,355,029 and
$5,218,380. Expenses of schools for
the three years were $14,686,238,
$12,314,266 and an estimated $10,-
600,000, respectively. Total expenses
for the three years, according to
the statement, were for 1931, $32,-
417,613; for 1932, $27,924,598, and
for 1933, 12 months basis, $21,847,-
74. ,
**lt is not probable that next year .
the total reductions can be in pro
portion to those made as shown
above though some counties are
still high in proportion to the aver
age,” the officials said. “The prob
lem now is to hold those gains in
economies. Then too there are signs
of reactions under the guise of
responding to the national pol
icy of a great public works program
to be participated in by the state
and the several counties and cities
through funds got by bond issues or
other long-time obligations. The
word is passed around that the fed
eral government will in the-course
of time take over these obligations'
co that the state, counties and cit
ies can safely vote these bonds
now. Of course these assurances on
the side are not authorized; in fact

lina striving to save the property ol

; The league takes the position that

“Then too we have the continued
and organized pressure of all of-

ernment. The league was never
more needed than it is Jtoday.”

The Saluda Standard, Dec. 21.
Saludans gladly welcome to the
‘own^to live. Rev. J. E. Strickland
and'' daughters, who are moving
here this week from Plum Branch,
where Rev. Strickland was .serving
as pastor of two or three Methodist
churches, when he was super
annuated by the last Methodist
conference. The Stricklands occupy
he residence on Jennings Street
lust recently vacated by Rev. E.
Joyner and family. This dwelling
and lot which lie on the opposite
corner cf Jennings Street from The
Standard office and are known as
the Lwitcer home were recently do
nated to the Methodist conference I
by Mrs. Smtctr to be used a$’a f
home for a super-armuated minLs-
ter. . . ,
Saludans are Indeed glad that
Rev. Strickland was the .choice of
the conference to be sent here to
ave, for he Ls well known and much
admired by a host of Saluda Coun
ty people by reason of his having }
served as pastor of Nazareth and
Rehcbeth Churches in the eastern
part of the county for a period of
four years when he was on the
Leesville circuit just prior to his
Plum Branch assignment. Origin
ally from Walterboro in Colleton
County, Rev. Strickland has been a
faithful and active minister of the
Gospel in the Methodist church for
a period of 36 years as regular pas-
or of charges. Of his long and ar-
.luous labors as a minister it can
oe truly said, “Well done thou good
md faithful servant.”
Saluda is proud to have him as
me of her citizens, and it is pecul-
arly fitting that ho has been
uper-annuated to live almost
vithin a stone's throw of hundreds
>f people among whom he lived
md labored during his long minis-
ry. The Saluda Standard is partic
ularly glad to welcome Rev. Strick-
and inasmuch as he is our nearest
rext-dcor neighbor. /
Rev. Joyner and family have oc
cupied the house which was the
rome of Claude Adams until re
cently, and he is still a very near
’eighber cf The Standard, we are
delighted to say. Mr. Adams and
children, in view of the recent
death of Mrs. Adams, have moved
into the home of his mother, next
door to the Saluda Hotel.
Card of Thanks .
We wish to express our sincere
thanks to each and every cnc fo~
their kindness during the death cf
our dear son and brother, and for
the beautiful floral offerings.
Mr. and Mrs. W. T. Brown,
And Children.
