Tlie authorized p'rl stink of the

ciaion is $40,000.00. of this amount
the Production Credit Corporation of
Columbia will pay in, as needed,
about $30,000.00 making it possible a
maximum total of loans of $200,000
through loans and discounts with
the intermediate credit bank.
Actually the production credit cor
poration .owns about three-fourths of
the capital stock of the association
The farmers who borrow from it own
most of the remaining portion, each
borrower being required to own 5 per
pent of the amount of his loan
voting stock in the association.
a farmer who gets a loan from
the association does not have to ad
vance any money to pay for his stock
as the purchase price may be includ
ed in the loan, one $5 share being
purchased as each $100.00 of the loan
money is advanced. The stock carries
no double liability. Thus a borrower’s
liability in any possible impairment
of capital of the association extends
only to his own holding, amounting
to $5 for every $100 or fraction
thereof borrowed.
A farmer does not have to pur
chase new stock each time he borrows
unless the stock he owns has become
impaired in value or he wishes a
larger loan. A farmer not indebted to
the association may sell his stock to
another eligible borrower, or may ex
change it at its fair hook value for
non voting stock. Such an exchange
must be made within two years after
the holder ceases to be a borrower.
The stock purchased by the cor
poration is non voting, but preferred
as to assets in case the organization is
liquidated. The voting stock is owned
only by the borrowing farmers, each
having only one vote in the associa
tion no matter what the amount bor
rowed or stock owned.

Taylor Injunction Case
Heard In Columbus
ty is assured of a new
. the near future as the
authorization of bonds
|' . _.al election held throughout
in i the county Saturday.
The work of tearing down the old
i ouilding, preparing the grounds and
erection of a new building, with all
modern conveniences, will be under
the supervision of the CWA and di
vided into three separate contracts.
The anticipated cost of the three
projects will be around $80,000.00, of
which amount the county will furnish
$20,000 through the sale of bonds as
authorized by a vote of the tax pay
ers of the county in a special election
held for that purpose last Saturday,
the bonds maturing in 20 years after
the date of sale. The county’s part
will be used in paying for materiar.
Application through the CWA for
$60,000 for labor in removal of the
present building and work of con
struction of a new building has al
ready been approved.
Plans for the new building have
already been drawn and are on ex
hibition at the office of the county
commisioners. They are acceptable to
the public to the minutest detail, in
cluding general appearance and con
venience in every particular.
As soon as the bonds are validated
and sold, steps to that end having al- , payrolls
ready been taken, and will require i
about thirty days for completion, I
work is expected to be started in the
removal of the present building fol
lowed closely with beginning of erec
tion of the new, all of which is ex
pected to be completed within the
next three or four months.
> The vote as cast in Saturday's
election, which required a majority
of votes as showing on the registra
tion list as of the general election of
1932, and a two-thirds majority of
those voting favoring bonds, shows
that there were 764 votes cast from a
registration list of a little more than
1,300, giving considerably more than
the required 50 per cent total vote
necessary. The consolidation also
showed there to be 746 favorable to
bonds with only 18 votes against
bonds, thus a decided victory for ad
vocates of th ebond issue.
The vote by precincts is as follows:

we learn on to the other fellow.

Successful Evening Class
Is Completed at Wesley
On last Wednesday night the farm
ers of the Wesley community met and
held their tenth an<j last evening
class. The problem of “Financing the
the Farm This Year” was discussed
after which Dr. H. J. Porter made a
very interesting address.
One of the most interesting prob
lems studied during these meetings
was “Utilizing Land Taken Out of
Cotton.” It was decided that one of
the most important problems facing
the farmers this year was the produc
tion of a sufficient supply of the
proper kinds of foods. In order to get
the proper kinds of foods that would
be needed Miss Leonora Anderson,
Home Demonstration Agent, was
asked to set up the dietary needs of
an average family and with this in
formation together with census data
and estimates by the members of the
class the following farming program
was set for an average farm of the
community:

“Grandma” Hayes, Norwich
Community, Passes To
Her Eternal Reward
Norwich lost one of its pioneers
last week when Mrs. Jane Hayes,
known to all us “Grandma Hayes,”
pussed to her eternal reward. While
she been in ill health for some time,
aivl many realized it was only a mut
ter of time, yet the community was
adly shocked at her passing and
friends and loved ones, both local and
from a distance gathered to pay
their last tribute of respect to this
good woman. She lived a beuutiiul
Christian life both in her home and
among her friends.
Mrs. Hayes was a member of Tine
Level Methodist church which sne
loved and where she had worshiped
for many years. She was always in
terested in the welfare of others, and
it was not unusual for her, even wnen
she needed help herself, to go miles
to aid and assist some one else.
She is survived by five children, all
of whom are followers of mother’s
God, 31 grand children, and 15 great
grand children.
Amid a host of sorrowing relatives
and friends the funeral for this de
parted sister was held at Pine Level
cemetery Wednesday, Feb. 14, con
ducted by Rev. Edw. P. Lamb, of Co
lumbus, former pastor of the Norwich
Methodist Protestant church. It had
been her request before her death
that Rev. Mr. Lamb conduct the fu
neral. In his funeral discourse, her
former pastor lauded the beautiful
Christian character of Mrs. Hayes and
stated that she had been a source oi
inspiration to him during the time he
labored among the good people of
Norwich community. He continued
that neither he nor any one else could
preach her funeral as she hau
preached it herself during her sojourn
on earth, and while she was gone In
body, her life would still continue
among her friends, and that in years
to c.ome her memory would be the
means of guiding many along through
the battle of life.
Borne by six of her grand children
the body of Mrs. Hayes was carried
to the grave where it was laid to rest
by the side of her husband’s remains
who preceded her to the great beyond
nineteen years ago.
