It occurred to me that if there are Democrats who would pay from $25.00 to $100.00 for one din ner for the benefit of the Demo cratic party, perhaps there are a few Methodists or friends of Meth odists who might contribute $5.00 to our cause. I promise you as much to eat as is good for you, and perhaps an evening of fun and fellowship I dislike charging for my hospi tality, but we need the money. If you are interested, call or see me as early as convenient. Mrs. J. S. Strom. IX X Home Dem. Agent’s Schedule For Feb. 3-10,1939 Friday, Office; H. D. Local Leaders Training Meeting.

Hare of Salu da expressed cotimism over the prospect of having local area counties reimbursed by the federa 1 government for tax revenues lost through the acquisition of lands for reforestation programs, follow ing a conference with Secretary cf Agriculture. “The secretary left me with the impression that a study would be made on the matter looking toward the start, at any rate, of congressional action on the matter this session.” Hare said. Tax Burdens Heavier The newly elected congressman said he told the agriculture head that extensive land purchases by the U. S. Forest service for refor estation purposes had taken from the counties a large source of revenue and brought about a cor responding increase in the tax burdens on other land owners. Although the Agriculture de partment returns 25 per cent of the revenue derived from the operation of the federally-owned forest lands to the counties, a period of between 15 and 25 years must elapse before any substantial return would accrue to local area counties from operations on cut over pine land, Hare pointed out. “I think the main point to be worked out in this matter is whether government should be called upon to pay the counties on the basis of the tax levied or the average tax collected,” Hare said, adding, “it must be remembered that a large part of the land was worthless for anything except re forestation and many owners were delinquent in tax payments.” Several Counties Hit Counties in his district whose treasuries were hardest hit by the government reforestation program are McCormick, Edgefield, Saluda, Greenwood and Abbeville, Hare said. Land purchases have been largely for the Sumter and Long Cane reforestation projects. Hare said he also voiced his pro test against the removal of the regional office, of the soil conser vation service from Spartanburg at his conference with Wallace. “I told him if the proposed re moval was due to any local condi tion, then he ought to move the office to Anderson,” the congress man said. xx February 15th Closing Date For New Farms Lions Discuss Pro posal For Tri-Countv Hospital To Occupy County Home Tri-C * unty Hospital for Edgefield, Saluda and McCormick Counties Suggested. To Occupy County Home. Several Out-of-Town Guests Present. From The Edgefield Advertiser, Jan. 25. The Edgefield Lions Club gath ered in regular meeting Monday night at the Edgefield Hotel to discuss ways, means and plans directed towards the establish ment of a Tri-County Hospital, it being proposed to so locate a hos pital as to be easily accessible to the three counties of Edgefield, Saluda and McCormick. Present in addition to the club members were guests including Hon. M. Hansford Mims, member of the House of Representatives; Mr. Fred Buzhardt of McCormick, Dr. Garnett Tuten of McCormick, Mr. McQueen Quattlebaum of John ston, Dr. Raymond Dunovant of Edgefield, and Mr. A. W. William son, assistant to the county agent in soil conservation work in Edge- field County. Much interest was shown in thfe hospital proposal throughout the discussion; and while no one was able to present the necessary facts, figures, or proposals for immediate adoption of a particular plan, a fact-finding committee was ap pointed to consider all angles and possibilities of a tri-county hospital. This committee, con sisting of Dr. Rhett Nicholson, Dr. Raymond Dunovant, and Dr. Gar nett Tuten, was empowered to en large itself, appoint sub-commit- tees, and report back its findings at an early date to a joint meeting of all interested parties. Several members and guests ex pressed their views on the matter; It was pointed out that the social security program * of the state has more or less left the county home without inmates, and that the building, being easily accessible to the three counties of Edgefield, Saluda and McCormick, might possibly be considered as the lo cation of the proposed tri-county hospital. It was noted that outside help might be available if a definite plan could be inaugurated. The club was reminded of the forthcoming President’s Ball. In the absence of Lion President Strom Thurmond, Lion Vice-Pres ident Joe Frank Jones presided. • Scribe. Rev. J. S. Dukes Accepts New Call TO APPLY FOR COTTON ACRE AGE UNDER THE A. A. A.

EVANS PASTOR HAD FINE CAROLINA RECORD From The Augusta Herald, Jan. 29. Rev. J. S. Dukes, prominent Edgefield and McCormick County pastor, will succeed the Rev. Mr. Lamb as pastor of the Evans Bap tist Church at Evans, Ga., on Feb ruary 5th. Mr. Dukes, a native of McCor mick, S. C.. is one of the most capable and respected pastors of the entire Carolina ministry. For the past four years, he has been active in and around his home in Carolina, and Evans vicinity is deemed indeed fortunate to have secured the services of the promi nent official. A married man with one son, the newly secured pastor will de vote his entire time to the church and its affairs. During his pre vious years of service in the min istry, Rev. Dukes is referred to as one of the most faithful and ener- :tic pastors of the section. As the town in which the pastor will accept duties shortly is a thriving and growing community, the church is expected to expand and associate many new members in the ministry "of the new official. The initial services of the new pastor will be conducted at the regular Sunday morning devotion al period on February 5th. The public is cordially invited to at tend and become acquainted with the new pastor.
