The time and place Of the annual meeting of each of these associa tions are arranged for the conve nience of the members. Practically all of them, he said, will be held in January. Every one of the 102 production credit associations in the district is a permanent co-operative organ ization of farmers, Mr. Graham said. Every farmea who has bor rowed money from one of these co- operattee associattaos Idas purchas- NOTES OF TRIPLE A ACTIVITIES TOWARD BETTER AGRICUL TURAL CONDITIONS A re-definition of the term “first domestic processing” of hogs, which will transfer to commercial han- dlers all liability for payment of the processing tax with respect to hog products derived from hogs slaugh tered by producers and feeders, be came effective on November 1. As a result farmers are liable for the processing tax only with respect to hog products sold direct to consum ers in excess of the exemptions al lowed under the tax regulations. Nc tax is required to be paid by the producer who slaughtered his own hogs and who sells to or exchanges directly with consumers, not more than 300 pounds of the products derived therefrom during any mar keting year. * * * All surplus cotton tax-exemption certificates outstanding at the end of the cotton ginning season will be recalled and in their stead new cer tificates of a different color and appearance will be issued for use next year provided the Bankhead Act is made effective for 1935, the Agricultural Adjustment Adminis tration announced. The decision to re-Jasue surplus 1934 cotton tax-ex emption certificates in a style dif ferent from that used this year was reached after reports of illegal trad ing in the certificates had been re ceived from the Cotton Belt, and in i-order to avoid confusion. * * * * The Farm Credit Administration Iras- announced that rules and reg ulations have been perfected under selecting the management -of the organization. “In these meetings of voting stockholders—the voting stock holders bei&g the faimers who have borrowed money—a board of di rectors will be elected to manage the associations during the coming year—a local board composed of farmers in the county or counties served by the association”, said Mr. Graham. “Every borrower should be present and vote for the most capable men available for the board of directors and thus assure continued good management for the organizations that have been built for the fanners’ permanent benefit.” Mr. Graham said that due notice would be given all members of the associations as to the time and place of the. meeting, of their re spective associations and it is hoped that * not only will every mem ber attend but also that they may bring with them to the meeting as many farmers who did not borrow from the association as possible in order that these farmers might learn at first hand of the benefits to be obtained from availing them selves of the credit service offered by the associations. “It is our hope”, said Mr. Gra ham, “that by the time cf these meetings in January practically every association in the district will have a clean slate with all due it collected in full.” The average layman does not take his religion very seriously. Church membership is often little more than a badge of respectabil ity. It represents little apprecia tion of the Christian Society as a world brotherhood permeated with the spirit of the Cross. Too many Christians think of their church as a club of congenial folk safely dis tant from the firing line. Much of the weakness of our church life is due to the absence of sturdy, intelligent laymen and lay- women willing to shoulder burdens instead of pressing them upon the frail body of the minister. Too often the poor clergyman is com pelled to play a lone hand. It goes without saying that Christians should attend public worship, not expecting always to be inspired, but eager, by their per-1 sonal presence, to strengthen the cause of organized religion. John Adams felt that four institutions are indispensable to a people’s lib erty, the town, the church, the school and the mihtia. In addition the Christian should enter into common worship with genuine heartiness. Many attend their church with no thought of the contribution they can make to the beauty and inspiration of the service. They go simply to be help ed themselves, and are aggrieved if the minister has an off day. What a different atmosphere would be created if folk entered God’s house not simply to be fed, but to feed! Then the Christian should give generously of his means toward the support of the Master’s work. How many of the laity are thought less and parsimonious in their stewardship? Seldom indeed do they sacrifice something they ar dently desire in order to help cheir church. A good working rule is to give 10 per cent of one’s income to church. To do this requires care ful planning, but it is rich in in tangible .reward. ‘Chained’ Sets Expected To Create Stir INTERIORS IN NEW CRAWFORD- GABLE PICTURE SAID TO BE “LAST WORD” Civil Service Examinations Witness the entrance of a fresh note in interior decorations: austere elegance.” For this is the motif of the dec orative thread running through the new Joan Crawford-Clark Gable ed voting stock and has <me vofeTin *o-^ningpicture, "Chained,” di rected by Clarence Bro#ft. r ~ ~- The Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer pro- Why Liquid Laxatives are Back in Favor duction will be on view Monday and Tuesday, November 19th and 20th, at the Abbeville Opera House. Combining lavishness with se vere simplicity,-M-G-M Art Direc tor Cedric Gibbons has painted the background of the modern story with rich yet restrained strokes. Moving swiftly as it does from New York penthouses to a luxuri ous-ocean liner; thence to a South American hotel and ranch and back to an exclusive mountain resort, the shifting locale, offers ex cellent opportunity for the utmost in set designing, according to Gibbons. Serve As Model And with motion picture sets al ready considered a criterion for home furnishing, the new sets are expected to attract as much atten tion as a startling Adrian-designed gown. . Modern rooms in the new set tings are less burdened with fur niture than ever before, with th: result that pieces used are spacious and carefully chosen. Plain whites and cream tone: predominate, with lamp shades seat covers and accesories vividly colored in contrast. Wall pictures are few, modern and striking. tXT Most Of Students At University Of S. C. From Over The State The public is fast returning to the use of liquid laxatives. People have learned that the right dose of a properly prepared liquid laxative will bring a more natural movement with out any discomfort at the time, or after. The dose of a liquid laxat ive can be varied to suit the needs of the in dividual. The action can thus be regulated. A child is easily given the right dose. And mild liquid laxatives do not irritate the kidneys. Doctors are generally agreed that senna is a natural laxative. It does not drain the system like the cathar tics that leave you so thirsty. Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin is a liquid laxative which relies on senna for its laxative action. It gently helps the average person’s constipated bowels until nature restores their regularity. You can always get Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin at any drug store, ready for use. COLUMBIA.
