Collier and children and Mrs. G. E. Langley COLUMBIA, S. C., Sept. 18.—Far mers of the Third Farm Credit Ad ministration district comprising the states of North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Florida bor rowing from production credit as sociations already have repaid over $1,600,000 on their loans, according to a statement issued by Ernest Graham, president of the Produc tion Credit Corporation of Colum bia. A large portion of the repayments have come from the tobacco belts, particularly in Georgia, South Car olina and in the section of North Carolina bordering on the South Carolina line. Payments in the other tobacco belts of North Caro lina which, opened later are expect ed to be heavy during the remain der of the month. Indicating the splendid manner in which the tobacco growers are meeting their obligations to the associations, the Lake City (S. C.) association has collected 87 per cent of its total loans, 222 of the 238 farmers having loans with the associations having made payments totaling $52,684.08. Many of these farmers will have their cotton crop entirely in the clear. The Marion (S. C.) association has collected about 76 per cent of its total loans already, 125 of the 147 farmers having loans with the association having made payments totaling 73 per cent. The Dillon (S. C.) association has collected about 65 per cent, 114 of the 123 farmer-borrowers from that asso ciation having made payments. The Florence (S. C.) association has collected about 60 per cent of its total loans and the Lumberton (N. C.) association about 60 per cent. Mr. Graham said that the splen did manner in which the farmer- borrowers throughout the tobacco belt are meeting their payments indicates that the faith which the government has shown in co-oper ative credit organizations by help ing the farmers to set up their own lending institutions has not been misplaced and he feels that the farmers of this district are going to make a wonderful record in the repayment of their loans and thus protect their credit standing. “We are confident,” said Mr. Graham, “as a result of the way in which farmers are beginning to re pay their loans that the officers of the production credit associations in this district hav^ made sound loans. With the collection season still in its primary stage, borrowers have repaid over $1,600,000 and from specific reports which we are daily receiving, we believe these Bordeaux INews A family reunion was given as a pleasant surprise to Mr. W.

Ah Freeland ANDERSON, Sept., 15.—(Special) —Three vacancies to the United States Na^al Academy at Annapolis and one vacancy to the United States Military Academy at West Point will be open to qualified young men of the Third Congres sional District of South Carolina in 1635, Congressman John C. Taylor announced here today. Simul taneous with the announcement of the vacancies Congressman Taylor outlined briefly plans by which he hopes to fill these vacancies next year. He stated that competitive ex aminations will very likely be held the latter part of October or in January to select the young men who are to be appointed to these vacancies. Decision in this mat ter will be made at a later date. In connection with his plans to fill these vacancies Congressman Taylor invited all young men of the' third district who are at all inter ested to become competitors for the appointments. “I have previously run into some difficulty in finding young men qualified for Annapolis 'ind West Point and for this reason it is my desire to meet and talk vith all who are interested at the earliest possible date in order that I might give them full advice 're garding the difficult requirement-s from both a mental and physical standpoint which it will be neces-' sary for them to meet,” Congress man Taylor stated. On the basis of the competitive examinations to be held in October or January, definite dates to be an nounced later, Congressman Taylor will select his appointees in full time for them to qualify to enter either West Point or Annapolis by July 1, 1935, the approximate date of entrance. All young men interested are urged to write Congressman Taylor at Anderson, or to make an ap pointment and call on him there in person in order to secure full in formation about these vacancies and the manner in which Con gressman Taylor will fill them. _y Card Of Thanks We wish to express our apprecia tion for the kindness shown us by relatives and friends during the long illness and at the death of our I wish to thank the voters of Me- dear father, Joseph Monroe Gable.
