To Be Voted In The South Carolina Democratic Primary. , The Chairman of the State Ex ecutive Committee of the Demo cratic Party has decided on the form of the Referendum ballot, as follows: “Do you favor discontinuing the legal sale of intoxicating liauors, wines, beers, and other intoxicating beverages, and the imposition of new taxes to re place lost revenue as a result of the repeal of the present liquor law?” YES—NO. We temoerance citizens will vote “YES” on the above ballot, and scratch out the “NO”. Let us get a real test of nublic -sentiment. It was the “wet” group who by a small maiority had the tax fea ture included by the recent Legislature., Evidentlv thev hoped to defeat us drys by this threat of more taxes. But our citizens, have not for gotten that in 1932 and 1933 the “wets” repeatedly promised us so much revenue from the legal sale of liquor that we would have lower taxes. They failed to make eood oo their promise, and gave us much higher taxes instead, for our federal, state and local taxes have increased about $30,000,000 since 1932 (the last dry year). And out of the $60,000,000, state and local taxes we paid during the fiscal year just closed, the entire liquor traffic in our state, includ ing beer, ale and wine, paid in revenue to South Carolina and its political sub-divisions only five (5%) per cent, or $3,000,000. When we note the increase of 40% in crime, a vast increase in insanity and alcoholism, over 100% increase in automobile accidents and deaths, we are forced to the conclusion that we lose far more in money alone than the little pittance of revenue we get from the liquor traffic.

Sullivan News Accurate Records Are Now Kept Of Farming Activi ties By Farmers, Farmwives And Farm Youth, Says Miss Alice Talbert. Farmers, farmwives, and the farm youth, now keep accurate records of their farming activities, said Miss Alice Talbert, Home Management Supervisor of the Farm Security Administration in McCormick county. “In the past the farmers have shied off from keeping records, but last year many kept them for the first time and found them very useful,” said Miss Talbert. “Some of the farmers thought they were keeping them for the ^SA, but when they learned that the record books were for their own use to show them where they were making money or spending it unwisely, their interest quick ened. “Many of them were surprised to learn that their sales of vege tables, outside work, livestock products and such were bringing them more money than some of their regular farm crops. They would not have known this if they had not kept a record book. As a result of the knowledge gained from the record book, bet ter farm plans have been develop ed and will make more money for them this year. Miss Talbert pointed out that many of the farmwives learned to make money—and to spend it wisely. They also learned that much can be done with the money made from sales of eggs, handi craft and flowers. “We urge all farm families, to keep accurate records because it will help them own a farm quicker and aid them in having a more comfortable living,” said Miss Tal bert. A large number of the members, visitors and friends attended the homecoming Day at Rehoboth Baptist Church, Sunday. The Rev. A. D.
