The good averages of prices that
have been made in Smithfield this

the tobacconists and may prove to

MR. W. M. WOODY WITH
COMMONWEALTH MOTOR CO.
We view the present time as a
moral crisis in the life of our state
and nation. Our people are being
misled by appeals to unworthy mo
tives of greed and selfishness. We
warn our people that we are con
fronted with the danger of the evils
of the liquor traffic. 'Alcohol as a
beverage is an enemy to the church
of the living God. Alcohol is a poi
son. Alcohol is a habit-forming drug.
The traffic in intoxicating liquors
ha.s proven itself to be an outlaw to
society. We urge upon our members
to awake to a renewed passion for
public righteousness. As Christian
citizens we oppose any form of
legalizing the traffic in intoxicating
beverages.
action of other busine.'S necessary to
perfect the organization. The asso
ciation will then be in position to
accept applications for loans.
Initial capital for local associa
tions will be secured by the sale of
their class. A stock to the Produc
tion Credit Corporation of Colum
bia. Funds so obtained will be used
to purcha ,e .suitable securities to
be pledged with the Intermediate
Credit Bank of Columbia in support
of the local associations’ liability t-j
that bank. The Intermediate Credit
Bank will extend to the local asso
ciation a line of credit equal to ap
proximately five times the securi
ties pledged, such credit to be repre
sented by satisfactory farmers’
notes that may be discounted for
the as-ociation by the Intermediate
Credit Bank. The interest earned by
the funds pledg-ed as security goes
to the local association to help pay
its expense of operation and is in
addtion to interest obtained from
local loans.
Farmers may ffecure loans from
the local association for the produc
tion and harvesting of crops, breed
ing, raising, and fattening of live
stock or for the production of live
stock and poultry products. Such
loans will be made at a rate of in
terest not to exceed 3 per cent
above the discount rate of the In
termediate Credit Bank, which is
now 3 1-2 per cent per annum. Un
der present conditions the rate of
interest to a farmer borrowing
through a Production Credit associ
ation would be 6 1-2 per cent.
A farmer must own class B stock
(may be deducted from proceeds of
loan) valued at not less than 5 per
cent of the amount of his loan.
Class B stock carries voting priv
ileges for the election of officers
and directors and shares equally
with Class A stock in the distribu
tion of dividends. No stock in the
association carrie.s double liability.
Loans will be secured ordinarily
by a first mortgage lien on growing
crops and other personal or real
property; livestock loans by a first
mortgage lien on the livestock and
load their trucks
their stores.
