It will still be about two weeks before harvest gets into full swing. Now that the crop is made, here’s a few point ers on getting the most dollars out of your crop. Defoliate rank cotton before picking. This practice keeps trash out of harvested seed cotton, al lows cotton to dry more rapidly after rains, and makes harvesting easier. Defoliation is a must where cotton will be harvested mechanically. Pick cotton promptly after bolls open. In this area of high fall humidities and frequent tropical storms, cotton loses rapidly in quality if exposed to weather too long. Keep trash and grass out of cotton in harvesting, handling and storage. Do not pack cotton in wagon, truck or house. Packing inbeds trash in the lint and makes cleaning more difficult. Spread green or damp cotton to dry before storage or ginning. The very best conditioner for damp cotton before ginning is hot sun. Cotton picked in heavy dew or after showers should be dried before ginning. Even with good drying system on a gin, cotton still gets too wet to gin at times. Make standard weight bales of 450 to 550 pounds. Bales too light or too heavy are hard to handle at the gin and especially at the mills. Have cotton classed before marketing. This is a free service to all farmers in South Carolina, furnished by the USD A Cotton Classing Service. By having his cotton classed, as grower may know the value of his product before placing it on the market. Farmers should encourage gin- ners to follow these important rules: Maintain uniformly loose rolls. Tightening the gin roll does not materially increase ginning speed and may damage cotton several dollars per bale. Keep overflow at a minimum. CECIL KINARD Candidate (or Alderman Ward 5 Dear Friends: I am offering to you my services to represent you on the Newberry City Council for the next two years. I am doing this because I am deeply interested in our City and its government as the city in which we live. During my 16 years of service on the Council as an alderman and two years as the mayor gave me much experience in handling the finances and spend ing the taxpayers money. I feel certain that I am in the position to render you a great service. It is true that any one trying to do things makes some mistakes. I am no exception. I have made mistakes, but I have profited by them and will not make the same mistakes again. Fortunately they have given me just that much more experience needed to deal with the problems which will arise. Every one that is a candidate should have some kind of platform and I offer you the follow ing as my platform: No. 1—I will serve as an alderman in a fair, just and honest manner. I will not be a Mouth Piece or Rubber Stamp for any one or any group. My vote will be an honest one for the benefit of ALL of the people of the city. Second—I will work and cooperate with others you may select in this very important office. Third—I shall use every possible means to keep the people fully and completely informed on all busi ness matters and have periodic reports and statements made on the state of the City finances. Fourth—I will be available at ALL times as far as the problems connected with this office are concerned. I will welcome suggestions and constructive criticism. Fifth—I will assist local organizations with wor thy community projects at all times. Sixth—I will work hard to try and make New berry a Bigger and Better city to live. Upon this platform I will base my plea for elec tion to this important office. I promise if elected to weigh every issue that comes up before the Council, to cast an honest vote for the best interest of all the people. I further want to point out that there is noth ing in this world I value more than the close friendship of my friends in Newberry. If you elect me I shall try my best to merit the confidence you have placed in me. On Tuesday, Sept. 14 go to the polls and vote for the candidate you think will serve our city best. This is a great privilege and responsibility. Please remember this—I solicit your vote and support, and if you can see fit to support me I shall appreciate it very highly. Kind regards. Sincerely, CECIL KINARD Candidate for Alderman Ward 5 This political adv. written and paid for by Cecil E. Kinard Gins not equipped with automatic feed controls should have suction hands which can feed the cotton at a rate that allows the gin to separate the lint and seed. Ex cessive overflow often produces a condition known as “tw^-sided” bales. These are caused by excess ive machining. Use only necessary cleaning equipment. Clean hand-picked cotton needs little cleaning, and gins should be so constructed that overhead cleaning equipment can be by-passed when not needed. Use only enough drying to in sure smooth ginning. Excessive drying may damage the lint by making it brittle and shortening the staple. Excessive lint cleaning may cause more loss of weight than is offset by grade improvement. RAFFIELD ADDRESSES . . . (Confined from page 1) Mr. Raffield stated that the bank officer worth his salt today must be schooled in public rela tions and willing to practice what he preaches. There is a greater re alization that customers, stock holders and the community are important assets of a bank. Cus tomers lost for any reason, stock holders ignored, community un supported are liabilities. To develop personnel, banks have developed training and edu cational programs Mr. Raffield said. This includes training in a graduate school of banking, sales, public relations and credit schools. Within our own Newberry of fice we require each employee to know three jobs,” he said. To express appreciation for sound employees there are fringe benefits, such as group life in surance, group hospital insurance, profit sharing, retirement pens ions and counseling as to retire ment; also employees clubs, par tially sponsored by the bank and pleasant working conditions. As a result of all these changed he told of a wide list of customer benefits. These consists of various loans, personal, home improve ment, boats, house trailers, farm ing, buying homes, businesses, va cations, Christmas, and cemetery lots. These loans with the exception of real estate, business loans and farming, were unheard of a few years ago. Now they make a higher standard of living available to all, Mr. Raffield explained. Another of the customer benefits is trusts for estate administration, guardianships and trust funds. “Today,” he said “110 of the na- ing accounts he mentioned that here is a method being developed that will be of tremendous as sistance both to the bank and to the customer. This new method is automation or electronic process ing. It was developed by the Fed eral Banking Authorities in co operation with the American Bank ers Asociation. “Today,” he said “110 of thena- tions 131 banks with over $250 million on deposit have computer equipment installed or on order. If the trend of these installations continue a bank with over $10 million that does not have com puter services in 1970 will be as rare as “hen’s teeth.” He explain ed that the reason for this is the constantly increasing volume of checks used in the American ec onomy. He explained further how this affects the bank depositor by saying that the number assigned to each depositor gives positive identification to the checks drawn by that depositor. The number cannot be changed by the average person in a manner that will be accepted by the computer. Two separate operations assure posting to the proper account. The account number is verified by the computer and the signature is checked usually by a bank em ployee familiar with each author ized signature. Checks and deposits presented without account numbers will have these numbers encoded by the bank after proper verification of the signature. There will be in stances where counter checks must be used, he added. The majority of banks are now •on a 24 hour delayed posting me thod, but with electronics the ac counts are posted the evening of the day they are received. A com plete jouroal is ready when the bank opens the following morning. The SCN Computers are pro grammed to give complete itemiz ed statements and not just a be ginning and ending balance as with some computers now in use. For a nominal sum Mr. Raf field said the computer can fur nish a reconcilement of business accounts. SCN through this equipment can also supply payroll service at a very low per check cost. This would include W-2 forms, etc. If an account is overdrawn the computer will determine how many of the checks presented can be paid and the rest rejected. Depositors are furnished checks and deposit tickets with their names and numbers. How does automation affect the bank? Mr. Raffield answered “that it speeds handling of paper work and increases accuracy.” It does not affect the number of employees as there is no loss of jobs.

Dean Manion THE MANION FORUM THE DECLINE OF LAW AND ORDER Last July Fourth, dozens of Am erican towns were beseigned by gangs of young rioters. They threw molotov cocktails into crowds of people, filled the streets with beer cans, smashed windows, overturned automobiles, and fought with the police who tried to restrain them. The unrully youths then returned home, pos sibly to plan bigger and better disturbances for the next national holiday. Such irreverent celebrations of Independence Day are but one symptom of what seems to be a nationwide epidemic of lawless ness. Demonstrators tie up rush- hour traffic and refuse to budge until the police carry them away —at which time the officers of the law are charged with “bru tality.” The papers print these charges, but fail to mention what went on before the alleged bru tality began, when the mobs threw rocks at the policemen, taunted them, and did everything but dare them to fight back. Crime has increased 13 per cent in a single year. One out of every 71 Americans was a victim of ser ious crime between 1963 and 1964. An innocent person is in danger of being stabbed on a subway or robbed on a street corner. Fe male office workers in the Na tion’s capitol are escorted to their taxis in the evenings lest they be assaulted. But the lawbreaker must have his “rights.” The Supreme Court has outlawed accepted methods of arrest and interrogation. Acquit tals of accused criminals are on the rise. Criminals are set loose to kill and attack again because they were arrested “improperly.” “I think it’s high time we stopped viewing all criminals as victims of society, and start concerning ourselves more with the victims of the criminals,” says Lt. Gover nor Raymond Shafer of Pennsyl vania. But his plea falls upon deaf ears. We hear suggestions that free legal service be provided for the poor, defenseless criminal, but no one has yet suggested free body guard service for the average law- abiding person. While the individ ual rapist or robber is coddled by the courts, the individual victim of the lawbreakers is ignored. If the police are stripped of the pow er to curb crime, then crime will rise, and the individual will have to fear for his life. Indeed, he harbors such legitimate fear al ready, as he places double locks in his apartment door, and arms his wife with a tear gas gun. Things were not always so. James Truslow Adams noted in his Epic of America that “crimes against personal property be came extremely rare in the colo nies—so rare that, in spite of the lonely roads through the woods connecting almost all the settle ments, I have found only one case of highway robbery in the entire* colonial period.” That time span, covered more thar 150 years; years of hardship and lack of the material wealth that we take for granted today. It used to be that crime was wrong. The criminal was punished and society was protected. But today, the wrongdoer is urged to find a scapegoat for his actions; the blame is placed upon his en vironment, his education, or th© world in general. Small wonder the lawlessness is on the rise; the lawbreaker feels no personal re sponsibility to discipline himself. The courts and politicians pat him on the back. The sociologists weep crocodile tears for him. He may grow to be the hero of the Great Society; fed, clothed and subsidized by the taxpayers who tremble as they lock their. win dows against him in the night. // \ v \ THE INSURANCE I THAT COMES IN A PACKAGE Includes fire, liability, theft windstorm ahd most of the risks that come In running a home.
