CARDWELL. Agricultural and Industrial Agent Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Company A state e.f confusion prevails following the Supreme Court Ag ricultural Adjustment Adminis tration ruling. This is only na tural. as the Stopping of suspen sion of this well organized gov ernment agency, which has inti mately touched the lives of a large majority of farmers in this coun try, has left, them with tut the prop open which they have heavi ly leaned for the past three years. Since the sixth of January. I have been asked many times— what effect will the Supreme Court ruling have on farming general ly? What will cotton, tobacco, and peanut farmers do about their 1936 acreage, etc., etc. Ignoring the farmers need for some strong control, under exist ing world o ndition and condi tions prevailing during recent yyars, I would say that those far mers who have cooperated with tile AAA, either willingly or un tirillingly, should have learned jmething of the value of coopera lon; and I think a considerable ’'number of them will “dig in” and Continue acreage allotment poli ties under which they have work ed. This is no time for a display >f selfishness. Too much is in volved. And yet. each individual ! las the right, under the Conslitu- ! lion, to decide what he isgoing to! [plant during the year 1936. and Sin what acreage. The bars arc; {down. While the AAA control is, “shot”, why cannot agricultur :i! leaders in each county—in each 1 Community—continue to hold money-crop farmers in line by ap pealing to their common sense;1 impressing them with the fact that tha success of the whelp should be sought—for that is what j really matters—not the success of a few individuals. This is not so cialism, but common sense. If acreage control, of certain crops, was needed during the past three years, and is still needed to j prevent over-production and de pression in prices, it seems to me that the farmers will, of their own volition, continue the j. b started under the Agricultural Adjustment Administration. It is my o.nception that the AAA planned for a living, plus, for American farmers. If this is true farmers in the Southeast have a decided advantage ovu' those in many other parts of the country, for here a man can not only have a reasonable acreage in southern money-crops, but con ditions also permit him to make those crops and have that live stock which will provide subsis tence for both man and beast. Let us sink our selfishness and continue working together to im prove the economic condition of each worthy family in the com munity. Good Record Made By Land Bank From May 12, 1933, to August i 31, 1935, interest maturities on 1 Land Bank Commissioner loans mi 1 this distriot totaled $1,558,000 and t of this amount 92.2 per cent had ' been paid prior to September 1, i according to figures given out by i Governor Myers of the Farm Credit Association at Washington. The Federal Land Bank of Co- * lumbia was one of the four leaders 1 in the United States, according to 1 these figures. Julian H. Scarborough, presi dent of the Federal Land Bank of Columbia expressed gratification at the showing being made by tnis^ bank. He said it indicated that, the borrowers of the third district! were doing their best to meet their' obligations to the institution and j were appreciative of the service j which it is rendering them. j NMV \OJ;K . . .

Singing entirely unaccompanied, no instrument of j pitch exc.pt the human voice.; , they portray nearly every ton ! ! color possible to the human voice. Programs presented by the! Westminster Chants r a n g e 1 through a wide assortment of I musical moods, dramatic, senti- j mental, s mbre, and bright even j to merry. Spirituals, classics, and; modernistic popular ar^angerm nts are all included on their pro grams. The re are forty-one singers in this | symphonic chorus, and they are; ! every one real singers. Ties' I gi\ npe are tuned up before each j ! concert just as you would tune an' orchestra. The members of this unique organi/.ati n are not only singers but each individual in this choir directed by Dr. Williamson are, in fact, complete musicians, each having attained professional • rating as a player of either the | piano or organ. Perfect diction.; sonority of tone, flexibility of! rhythmn, vitality—these are foui* of the maj. r requirements of good choral singing according to Dr. ; Williamson and he demands this and gets it from the Westminster; Choir.

C.—The FarftC Credit Administration of Colum >ia. with the cooperation of ami-, ultural leaders and slate legisla ors, has secured the passage of egislation which will to a great xtent, simplify loan procedure, xpedite loans and reduce the costs f loans to farmer-borrowers, par icularly loans made upon the se uritv of crops, livestock and chat sis for crop production purpose'-. The legislatures of North Caro ina and Florida in 1935 passed aws providing for the recorda ion of a blank or master f rm «• f j a rt .gfeAor other scar :y papt r nd for reference to the provi-d ns ordained therein in a short form f security instrument. The li ra! terms and conditions of all Production Credit Association , Ksis. for example, arc the same, a each county a blank form of : mortgage containing these term.-' nd conditions is recorded and lese terms and. conditions are r - ■rred to in a short form filed for ach borrower. This enables the lortgage of the borrower to be hortor than it ordinarily would e. expedites the recordation of; ic mortgage and reduces the cost , > tlic farmer-borrower. Laws have bet r. enacted in S nidi 'arolina and Florida providing for | ie recordation of papers by fil lg or affixing the papers, or opies thereof, in registration of ces instead of requiring tee pe ers to be transcribed upon the ecords. Thus it is seen that material re lictions in the costs of recording j borrowers have been effected 1 North Carolina, South Carolina nd Florida. In South Carolina ami Florida ie period of in examining ree rds has been shortened and the osls thereof to bonfowors re uced, through legislation we.icli iiortens the me.ice aiforded third arties by the record of rnorh, iges n certain types of property. Leg -laticn provided for t!ie re ordulion of assignments, subordi ations and other papers in South ‘arolina, and conditional s; les on tracts and other similar papeisi fleeting certain types of pc. o.nal roperty in Florida has increased ae effective use of . uch property s security for loans. Plat statute.?, were enacted by 1 he legislatures oi North Carolina i nd South Carolina whereby de criptions of lands may be mu aria Uy shortened by reference to | record plat. There acts will i esult in expediting and simplify- ! ag the preparation and rccorda- ' ion of mortgages on lands, and | vill further reduce the costs of , ecordation to borrowers.

C.. is here for annual stockholder- meeting; of Weldon Pr ducti ri Credit Association. Ttie corporation in Columbia is su pervisor of all the Production Credit Associations in the Third Disi rict. AT BAPTIST CHURCH Tin- pastor will preach next Sui das ning and night. We are i;o; :ng that God's House w ill be tilled with w. rshiping people at all l the services next Lord's day. One of the pastor's new re solutions is to try to preach the .gospel in grislier spiritual power this year than ever before. The members and the friends of the Church can help him carry out this new year resolution by being faithful in their attendance upon the worship in our church at both the in rning and the evening hours. Dr. W. H. Hubbard said: “In the market square of the tittle1 town of Wantage there is a beautiful marble statue of King Alfred with this inscription: “Alfred the Great, the West Saxon King, born at Wantage, A i),, 8411. Alfred found learning dead, and he revived it; the laws powerless, and he gave them for ce; the church debased, and he raised it; the land ravaged by a fearful enemy, from which he de livered it. Alfred's name shall live as long as mankind respects the past.” It is had not been for the faith fulness of Queen Judith to Alfred in la is boy hood there might not have been anything in his life that succeeding generation would 'ok' to commemorate with a pub lic monument. In moulding his life she influenced the history of England for the better for a thou sand years.” ■By the Pastor. Weldon Pim Association Y v iii' 1 > Had A Hood ii v i n s* i *) ;> 5 1.

A/s Report Payments Good Columbia, S. — Production | Credit Associations in the States | of North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia report splendid col- , lections to date and indirations are i that the record made last year will be duplicated this year. The col- I lection St. a.-on in Florida does not \ coincide with that of the other j three states ot the district. The Marion, Bennettsvillc and [ Dillon associations in South Caro lina and the Dublin associ 11ion in Georgia have already reported all loans made far production pu • poses repaid in full and quite a I number of other associations are! nearly 100 per cent. The Marion association which was the first in the United States last year to re port production loans repaid 100 per cent was again first this year. Ernest Graham, president of the Production Credit Corporation of Columbia, says he is gratified at the good record being made by the various associations. He says the mc-mbers are evidencing their ap preciation of the service which the associations are offering and are keeping faith with each other by their loyal support of the asso ciations. Turkeys sold by Chatham County farmers during the holi day season brought in more than i $14,000 in cash to the growers.

Tiie Weldon association was or ganized in January 11)114. and en joyed a very succ sssful yea r, set ting up a res. rve of approximately $ 1.800.00. When the year 1035 came in, thi association had been organi zed long enough for everyone con nected t, > be familiar with its workings. The farmers had be gun to learn what production ere dit was and what it meant to them. They saw in the association something that they had never seen in a credit organization be i fore. There was an opportunity I to become a part owner of what they could call their bank. The Production Credit Cor poration was organized to set up these Associations, to capitalize them and then to supervise their operations. Although the Corpor ation in Columbia owns about 92 percent of the capital stock it is hoped that eventually the farmers will own the Association entire ly. So will is the plan of the as sociation liked that in the first of Uiv year 1935 there were 760 ap plied ions for loans for crap pro duction. Of the 760 applications, 579 loans were passed on and ap proverl. To se 579 loans totaled S232.934.00. At this writing all of this am. urd. has been collected but $19,000.00 and the association and L. J. Jud kins the Secretary has reported that he expects l., effect 1001 per c.nt collections by the first of February. Some people have the mistaken i lea that this association is only open for business during the early spring, but this is not true. It is open at all times for the people who borrow. The association is the farmers friend. It is hoped that he will feel free to come in and discuss his problems at any time of the year he wishes. The ' Secretary is always willing and ready to answer any and all ques tions regarding loans. If it is pos sible for the association to make you a loan for financing your farming operations it will eertain ! ly do so.
