TruckLaw Worries Farmers fn S. C. Counties Mint r»j $50 License To Soil Fruits. Vegetables, Etc.. Here, Spartanburg. July 10.—Spartan burg farmers who market produce in North Carolina are dismayed by the statute recently enacted by the North Carolina General Assembly requiring the payment of a $50 li cense tax for trucks selling produce not grown In that state. Unless some agreement is reach ed with North Carolina authorities within the next few days, Spartan burg farmers will be greatly dam aged in efforts to market their pro ducts , according to leading pro ducers of the county The matter was first, brought to the attention of JaparUnburg farm ers last week when a Greenville (Teach grower wan forced to pay the license of $50 to market peaches which ha said were grown in his own orchards in a Niirth Carolina town. Sees No Relief. Ben Gramlin, of Gramlin, owner rtf one of the largest, peach orchards in the county, said Monday night that the statute would have a dis astrous effect upon peach growers in this section and that it would also affect farmers who have usu ally marketed cantaloupes and watermelons in North Carolina cities. ' Peach growers in thus section will suffer greatly from the North Carolina law," Mr. Gramling said "and'I hope that some agreement can be reached before the crop is marketed although I see little hope for it now." Mr. Gramlin conferred with North Carolina attorneys Monday in re gard to the matter but. refPived little satisfaction, he said. The 1 iceiuse bill is included in the reve nue bill; and. in the opinion of many attorneys, an Injunction can not be secured against a revenue act, it was said. Situation Serious. "The sitiftsWbn is seriou.-. Mr Gramling said. "Farmers in the upper section of the state cannot market their watermellons and can taloupes and other produce and farmers in the lower part of the state cannot carry their beans and early cabbage and other produce Into North Carolina "Growers have appealed to Gov srnor I. C. Blackwood and Senator James F. Byrnes to use their in fluence with Governor O. Max 3ardncr of North Carolina but ap parently he cannot do anything since the tax is in the revenue Till.” South Carolina has no reciprocal neasure to meet the North Caro tna tax, it was stated. Farmers )f that state can bring apples, cab rages and potatoes and other pro luce Into this state and sell It without paying a tax under the present statutes.

Ghost of Frontier Days Walks at W ild West Rodeo Cowboys From Another Age Nonchalantly Per- 1 form Feats, Commonplace When the West Was Wild and Woolly, but Marvelous in This Day and Age. Some. Action, PtAiJ CaVGARY StAMPCbEj ‘—■ — At tha Calgary stampede, atarting July 6, the ghost of the grand ols West will once more stalk through five days of the new age. The city will turn back the clock for the occasion, hack to the days of hard riding, straight-shooting men of the ranges whose everyday work wai of such a nature that thousands of people will pay to see some of their daily tasks re-enacted. Broncho-busting was at commonplace in those days as putting out the cat is today. Throwing and hog-tying a steer caused those stalwarts of the plaint no more concern than fattening a dog on a leash caused us. As one sits on the sidelines watching the glamorous pageant of bygone days when a man carried his own law on. his hip and all arguments were settled by Judge Colt, one cannot help but regret the passing of the most colorful era in our history. Touched By Tragedy Overcast by the shadow of tragedy, Miss Tucker Faithful) (left) and Mrs. Stanley H. Faithful), sister and mother of Starr Faithfull whose body was washed ashore at Long Beach, L. 1., are pictured above bowed in grief over her untimely death. Inset is Stanley fcl. Faithfull, stepfather of the dead girl, who is aiding the police in their efforts to clear up the mystery. Socially prominent "in New York and Boston, Miss SUrr had friend- in both cities whom'the investigators are ques tioning in hopes of throwing some light on the events that led t« her death. No Drought Likely Here; More Rain May Give Boll Weevil Break l.iw'al Weather Observer Anticipates Plentv of Rain In Month. Good Crop Tear. There will be no general drought this summer. The rains that have* come and those to follow will settle that. Floods, droughts, and earthquakes do run in cycles, and so do the tides, i though only the sun and moon, an' used to compute their times yet every planet in the solar system has its individual effect upon them. No two tides are ever just the same for they will vary from day to day. There is also a law of compensation in nature—one extreme follows an other. The extensive heat area in the United States will have a tendency to draw any tropical storm that may form near the equator to the | mainland of North America and also the colder air from around the North Polar regions. So. don’t be surprised if you have to hunt up your rubber boots and overcoat during the next few weeks, i As was to be expected the Miss- | lssippl River gauge at New Orleans registers the lowest In a hundred J and thirty years—6ft and 7 inches ! ft will hardly go any lower now ; and the probability is that no one now living will ever see it so low again, and certainly will not ever see the Valley flooded again as it >vus in 1927. The low water has allowed the engineers to do double the amount of work for the past two years in expending the $325, 000,000, upon its levies and spill ways, to make it safe for the future. Only a little more than sixty days remain of summer and part of those days will be wet certainly around July 15th. On that date the tides will rise higher in New York City harbor than on any other day this summer and earthquakes are likely to occur in different parts of the earth, Watch the press reports at this time Under somewhat similar circumstances the Charleston earth quake occured, August 31st, 1886. Sixty inches of rain fall that year, ana most of it occured in May, June, July, and August, In 1395 there was a 12 weeks drought and the farmers made so much cotton thev had to sell for 5c and less per round Th* conditions look •cry, favorable for plenty of rain through July, and It may hold over Into August, and give the Boll weevil a good chance to save the cotton farmer in spue of himself.
