Corporation For Farmers’ Relief Local Men Organize For the Purpose of Aiding Farmers to Finance Their Crops Southfield's newest corporation was formed about January 1st, when the Farmers Agricultural Credit Corporation was formed, the following being the incorpora tors: Jus. 1). Parker, H. L. Fitz gerald, I)r. J. II. Fitzgerald, I). W. Peterson, (’has. Davis, and It. C. Gillctt. This new venture, in view of a crisis in farming in this sec tion, has been started for the purpose of furnishing money to aid farmers to make their crops. The new concern has a paid in capital stock of $10,000 which gives it a rediscount privilege with a government bank in Columbia, S. C., in the amount of 100,000. As the capital increases, the discount privilege will increase ten to one. There are nine government banks like the one in Columbia known is Federal Intermediate Credit Banks, which were established five years ago wherever there was a farm loan bank. Connection with the Columbia institution en ables the local Farmers Agricul tural Credit Corporation to lend [money to farmers at one and one half per cent above the rediscount rate which at present is G‘,4 per cent. Money is only lent to far mers, the amount being determin ed by the number of acres plant ed in cotton and tobacco. The max imum amount on cotton is $25 per acre, and on tobacco $40 per acre. The men promoting this new cor poration are all connected with the Farmers Bank and Trust company, but the new organization is dis tinctly separate from the banking business.

REVENUE BILLS IN BOTH HOUSES RALEIGH, Jan. 12.—Big busi ness and unearned incomes are slated to bear the brunt of the in creased cost of running the state of North Carolina if revenue bills introduced today in both branches of the general assembly become lav-*. Scheduled appropriations run ning around two million dollars annually in excess of the last bi ennium are expected to be met by heavy increases in inheritance li cense and franchise taxes, smaller increases in income tax levies and the state’s accrued surplus. Tobacco and construction indus tries are put down for the heavi est boost with maximum license taxes of $1,500 on construction projects running over $1,000,000 and a maximum license tax on cig arette manufacturers of $10,000 on those making over 40,000,000 cig arettes annually. The present max imum cigarette tax is $7,500. Ad vances in inheritance taxes are ex pected to produce a yield next year of around $1,000,000 against $700,000 last year. The appropriation and perma nent bills have also been introduc ed in both houses and with t he revenue bill are in the hand of committees with early action gen erally predicted today. lhey represent the most im portant business of the general assembly and their introduction this early in the season has shat tered all precedent. The appropri ation bill calls for outlay for main tenance of $14,686,105 for 1927 1928 and $15,124,059 for 1928-29. The permanent improvement bill calls for a bond issue of $5,500,000. —Associated Press. If a man were to set the right sized gloves at Christmas he would have a fit.
