fund of $4,000 which is used to aid
parents in providing glasses or in
having the eyesight of the children

have been enabled. to continue their
studies in New York and Brooklyn.

Better Times Are Near

Improvement in the agricultural
commercial and financial conditions
throughout the South is predicted
from many sources, but those best
fitted to speak with absolute au-
thority on the subject are the bank
.ers in the territory, because these
men are in position to watch the
trend of the times and to determine
the tendency of existing conditions.
The Importance of this subject
being recognized, The Southern
Banker, of Atlanta, Ga. has directed
a comprehensive QUESTIONABLE to the
leading banks in the eleven South
ern States and the result is publish
ed in the current issue of the mag
azine.
Bankers in different parts of the
states were chosen in order to gather
facts which would fit each state as
a whole and it is significant to note
that, with very few exceptions, the
composite opinions expressed lndl-
cate that the worst of the hard
times has been passed, that the
people are meeting even the most
difficult conditions with courage and
resourcefulness and that better
day is. dawning for all.
Bankers Endorse Diversification
The bankers declare that an impor-
tant factor in the present upward
movement was the fact that farmers
are diversifying much more gener-
ally. than formerly; that economic
measures were being adopted almost
universally; that banks were only
being approached for loans to cover
essential needs to promote farming
activities and that whenever neces-
sary. such aid also was being grant
ed.

Every farmer" he aserts, "must work
out his own problems and salvation;
and the, quicker he realizes this and
that no one is going to do it Tor
him, the better off he will be. He
will surely receive help and assist
anc, but his future will be of his
own making. Normal times and 'ad-
justment' we hear SO much about,
mean nothing more nor less than that
everyone must change his ways and
adjust himself to practical methods
under boll-weevil conditions. This IS
the whole problem and all there is to
it. When this has been done the ad-
justment will have been made and we
will at once have normal times
When it is remembered that South
Carolina has been hit as hard or per-
haps harder than any other Southern
state, the remarks of Mr.. William
son, made with full knowledge Of all
conditions, carry deep significance
and should be given attention by all
interested in the development of the
South.
Have You Made Your Will?
"a WILL" says Virgil M. Harris, an
authority on the subject, lis that
which lives after one and tells of the
goodness or miserliness Of the heart
which conceived it" and in an article
entitled "Some Facts About the
Modern VIII" by Johnson H. Pace,
trust officer of the Miami (Fla.)
Bank and Trust Company, writing
in The Southern Banker, Atlanta.
Ga. for March, the subject of will
making is given expert attention.
That will is not simple docu-
ment but an instrument for good or
evil, that it is unlike any other doc
ument inasmuch as it is enforced only
after its maker is unable to change
it, are some of the important points
impressed upon the reader. The sub
ject is one we'll worthy Of the con-
sideration of all thinking people.

February to be
Advocate Month

Next month has been set aside by
both Of the Methodist conferences of
South Carolina to be known as "Ad-
vocate Month";" during which time an
appeal will be made to all Methodists
in the state in the interest of the
South Christian Advocate. Thirty
thousand dollars are still owing on
the plant at 1914 Lady street and the
month of February has been set aside
for the purpose of raising this money.
The Southern Christian Advocate
has been published by the Methodsts
of the state for S5 years and not until
e short while ago has been published
from it's own plant. The plant was
purchased at cost of $65,000. 1t is
being operated under the editorshir
of the Rev. R. E. Stackhouse. The
Rev. Hubert holland is business man.
ager of the paper.
An appeal will be made to every
Methodist church and Sunday school
in the state. The children will also
have part in relieving this debt. IT
is estimated that there are as many
children in the homes of both of tho
conferences as there are bricks in the
Advocate building and special "brick
cards" will be made out and sold t.
the children, each child who buys ono
of these cards will. therefore, own g
brick in the Advocate building.

VARIATION NOTED
IN LAND VALUES

The valuation of lands in the state
or taxation is marked everywhere by
;ariation and inconsistency, accord
ng to Prof. Wilson Gee of the Uni
rersity of South Carolina, who has
prepared a summary of the tax valu-
atoms of lands in the various coun-
les as compared with the value of
hcse lands as reported in the 1920
"nSuS reports. In no county, he
ndS, has the property bzeen valued
It II per cent. of it's reported value
5 taken in the census, the highest
a'uation, 22.9 per cent, being taken
n Jasper county and the lowest, To
crccnt in Clarendon county.
The state constitution of 1885,"
Professor Gee points out, provides
hat all taxes upon property, real
md personal, shall be laid upon the
,ctual value of the property taxed,
5 The same shall be ascertained by
II assessment made for the purpose
laying such tax A further
Iusc states that the general as
emily shall provide by law for a
inform and equal rate of assess
,ent and taxation, and shall pre-
cribe regulations to secure a just
aluation for taxation of all proper
y, real, personal and possessory.'
If the tax assessments in the
tfcrent counties of the state were
pon the same basis, the percentage
hat the assessed value is of the cen
is value should be approximately
he same throughout the state. Ac-
Cpting the census values of land as
uniform approximation to the true
alues, we find that the highest per,
cHtage that the assessed value is
! the census vaule in any county ir
lc state is 22.9 per cent in Jasper
unity. The variation is from that
gure to I'd per cent in the case ot
clarendon and Oconee counties. The
ate average is 11.3 per cent. Four.

anything about the character and rep-

his activities are too well known to the
public to need any comment on my part.
His professional efforts when he was
amassing his present fortune by building
up many of the so-called trusts have
not escaped judicial comment"
