Thirty-Third Year Mum Branch School To Open Monday^ September 17 th The Plum Branch School will onen its 1934-’35 session on Mon day mornine. Seotember 17th, at 9 o’clock. The first day will be taken up with the opening exer cises, enrolling pupils, and giving names of the list of books to be used. While no formal program has been planned, it is probable that the local castors will be with us to give short talks. The ' public is cordially invited to attend. The school is adding a new course this session in commercial Vfork. It was thought that both agriculture and commercial would be added, but it was thought ad visable to add only commercial work this session and to add agri culture later if conditions permit. Six brand new. latest tyne Under wood typewriters have been pur chased. with the nossibility of the purchase of additional machines if the number of commercial students warrant such. The school is trying to build it self no to an .»accredited high school. This year the 10th grade is to be added. The ooeninei date was at first set for September 6th. but due to some improvements to the building and bus equipment, it was necessary to postpone the opening date until September 17th. One new bus is to be purchased and th' 1 others to be overhauled. A new water system is to be installed with running water in the building.. With this improvement and others Plum Branch School will be one of the most modemly equipped small schools in this section. The names of teachers are as follows: Miss Irene Langlev. 1st and 2nd grades; Miss Lucy Brown 3rd grade; Miss Annie Lou Lank ford, 4th and 5th grades; Miss Prances Langlev, 6th grade: Mrs R, H.

Mr. Leo Hornsby from Clinton Farm Products Prices Trend Toward Parity & Better than parity prices were received by cooperating producers on their domestic allotment or other designated portion of the oroduction of two major adjusted farm products on July 1, 1934, and distinct gains towards parity had been made in the case of three other major products since the Ag ricultural Adjustment Act went in to effect. The exchange value of farm price plus benefit payments on cot ton and corn on that date were well above the exchange value of these products during the parity years 1910-14. The farm price plus benefit pay ments on wheat and cotton were about two and one-half times the orice farmers were receiving for these products just before the Act went into effect, while the farm price plus benefit payments on corn was nearly four and one-half times the farm price on March 15 1933. Benefit payments added to the farm price for hogs nearly doubled the farm price of hogs on March 15, 1933. On July 1 of this year farmers were receiving approxi mately 70 per cent of parity on their allotted hog production. Benefit payments constituted a- bout one-third of the price farmers were receiving on their allotted production of wheat, cotton, corn, and hogs. While the increase for the prod ucts on which adjustment pro grams are in effect varied from 100, to about 450 per cent during the | period covered in the chart, the prices farmers paid for the prod ucts they buy for use In production and living increased an average of only 22 per cent. / NEWBERRY, Sept. 1.—Misses Augusta and Lillie Ludwig of Mt.

The death at 7:30 o’clock last night at his home in the DeRenne Apartments of Mr.-Bacon marked the passing of a distinguished citizen and a member of one of the city’s outstanding families. Mr. Bacon was president of the A. S. Bacon Sons Lumber Company, former chairman of the board of directors of the Georgia State Sav ings Association, and a former al derman of the city of Savannah. He was elected chairman of the board of Georgia State Savings about a year ago, succeeding Judge George W. Tiedeman in that capacity. He was re-elected at the annual meet ing last May, but did not-serve for the new term, retiring both as chairman and as director because of the condition of his health. Mr. Bacon became interested in the banking business a number of years ago, becoming a director of the old Germania Bank. Later he was made a director and vice president of the Liberty National Bank & Trust Co., holding these positions at the time of his death. He was also chairman of the bank’s fi nance committee. Mr. Bacon was a man of good business ability and after becoming president of the lumber company, which his family has long owned and with which he grew up in the business world, he continued to direct its affairs with the diligence marked by the pre decessors of his family. Taking an active part in the business life of the community, Mr. Bacon came of a family that has long been active in the political history of Chatham county and the city, and he himself served as an alderman during the two adminis trations of the late Mayor Herman Myers, first from 1895 to 1897, and from 1899 to 1901. A m^n of attractive personality, Mr. Bacon was active in social af fairs, and was a member and a former president of the Oglethorpe Club. The military was also one of his interests, he being a member of the Savannah Volunteer Guards. During the Spanish-American War he served as lieutenant in Com pany B. Mi'. Bacon was a communicant of St. John’s Episcopal Church. He was 65 years old and a native Savannahian. He had been in ill health for some time. His last acute illness was for the duration of about six weeks, and yesterday there came a turn for the worse from which he did not recover. Mr. Bacon was the son of the late Major and Mrs. A. S. Bacon. He is survived by a sister, Mrs. Ruby Bacon Nicoll, El Paso, and four brothers, A. C. Bacon, Brunswick; Edwin H. Bacon, Tampa; Devereaux Bacon, Savannah, and Percy S. Bacon, Brunswick, and several nieces and nephews. Two other brothers, Judge Oliver T. Bacon and Turpin Bacon, are dead. The flag of the City Hall is at half staff in honor of the memory of Mr. Bacon. Card Of Thanks From P. J. Robinson I wish to thank my friends for the fine support given me in the recent election. May I assure you that every vote given me was high ly appreciated. P. J. ROBINSON.
