M. G. & J. J. Dorn, Ipc., lumber
manufacturers of McCormick, have
acquired title to 2,500 acres of tim
bered land known as the Rosenberg
and Visanska lands, some of which
is located in Abbeville, some in
Greenwood and some in McCor
mick Counties and in what is
known as the Long Cane section
of these counties. These lands are
included in the territory which the
National Forest Reserve Commis
sion recently approved the pur
chase of for a forestry project. The
price paid for these lands was $25,-
000 which is above the price pub
lished in the papers to be paid for
such lands by the government.
The lands include several hun
dred acres 'bf the Henry Laurens
estate, James L. Pressly estate and
others. While several tracts Adjoin
one to the other, there were sixteen
different titles to be abstracted,
many of which titles were to
Rosenberg and Visanska and are
more than forty years old and the
land has not changed hands since
that time. Another unusual feature
about this, deal is that the survey
recently made shows a total acre
age of less than two acres from the
total acreage covered by the title^
to Rosenberg and Visanska, al
though several tracts of the land
were not surveyed forty years ago
when purchased by them. Contract
for the purchase of these lands was
entered into last fall with April 1st
fixed as the time for closing the
deal.
Foster M. Sanders
Dies At Poinsettia
Park, Fla.
Foster M. Sanders, 72, passed
away late last Thursday night at
bis home in Poinsettia Park, Fla.,
following an illness of two months.
Mr. Foster was the son of Dr.
John and Anna Sanders and was
born at Abbeville, and a brother of
Mrs. George Deason of McCormick.
He moved to Florida 50 years ago
and was prominently identified
with the earlier history of the
State. He moved to Poinsettia eight
years ago and was employed as a
grove superintendent, his last
service being at the Andrews grove
in the Poinsettia Park section.
Surviving are his widow, Mrs.
Susie Sanders; two daughters, Mrs.
L. C. Shelton of Poinsettia and Mrs.
C. H. Ryan of St. Petersburg, and
two sons, F. L. and Paul Sanders
of Poinsettia.
Services were held Saturday
morning at 10:30 at the Ware-
Smith funeral home in charge of
the Rev. R. L. McLeod, pastor of
the Presbyterian Church. Inter
ment was in Oak Lawn Cemetery.
W. D. Morrah, secretary-treas
urer of the Citizens National Farm
Loan Association, has received
word from Wm. I. Myers, governor
of the Farm Credit Administration,
Washington, D. C., that Federal
Land Bank loans and Land Bank
Commissioner’s loans will be made
in the future through the Federal
Land Bank in bonds of the Federal
Farm Mortgage Corporation, which
bonds are guaranteed by the
United States government both as
to principal and interest, which will
be at the rate of 3 1-4 per cent per
annum for the bonds to be issued
at this time. These bonds will take
the place of the cash distribution
in the disbursement of the un
closed loans previously approved by
the Federal Land Banks.
The bonds of the Federal Farm
Mortgage Corporation, according
to the statement by Governor My
ers, will have behind them not only
the unconditional guarantee of the
federal government as to both
principal and interest, and the
capital of the Federal Farm Mort
gage Corporation amounting to
$200,000,000, but also the consoli
dated bonds of the Federal Land
Banks issued in exchange for the
bonds of the Federal Farm Mort
gage Corporation and thte mort
gages accepted by the Land Bank
Commissioner as security for loans.
Governor Myers assured Secre
tary Morrah that the Federal Farm
Mortgage Corporation bonds will be
an attractive investment. “They
will be as readily marketable as
bonds of the United States Govern
ment and they will be quoted in
all of the principal markets,” he
continued. “Holders who have to
dispose of these bonds should not
sell them without first ascertain
ing their real market value.”
The governor particularly
stressed the fact that country
bankers probably will be large in
vestors in these securities since the
creditors of farmers who are being
refinanced may not all be in tiie
position where they can hold the
bonds ' so - acquired and will
find it necessary to sell them. Sec
retary Morrah states that these
bonds, which will be tendered to
farmers’ creditors in payment of
the • refinanced indebtedness, are
“exempt from all federal, state,
municipal and local taxation, ex
cept surtaxes and estate, inherit
ance and gift taxes. They are law-,
ful security for fifteen-day borrow
ings by member banks of the Fed
eral Reserve system. They are also
lawful investments for all trust,
public and fiduciary funds of which
the deposit or investment is under
the authority or control of the gov
ernment. The payments of the in
terest on these bonds and the re
payment of their- principal are
guaranteed by the United States,
which means that if the Federal
Farm Mortgage Corporation should
ever be unable to meet the pay
ments on the bonds, the Treasury
will assume such payments.
“These bonds will be issued in
denominations of $100, $500 and
$1,000. However, amounts less than
$100 will be disbursed in cash. For
example, a loan of $965 would be
made in a $500 bond, four $100
bonds and the rest in cash. In ad
dition, to provide for certain debts
such as taxes which cannot be paid
in bonds, cash covering the re
quired amounts will be provided.
“Loans, which have been applied
for and approved, but on which the
cash has not been paid out, as well
as those approved by the bank in
the future, will be financed on the
above basis. This arrangement in
no way disturbs or alters the other
provisions of the loans. The inter
est rate on new loans will continue
to be 4 1-2 per cent for the emer
gency period when made through
a national farm loan association
and 5 per cent when made directly
by the bank.”
