The hawk, a vicious fellow with an .appetite like a vacuum cleaner, ate all but three of a brood of biddies on A. J. Dorman's farm at Good Hope. He flew back later to finish up the other chicks but the mother hen clucked a battle song and waded into him. The big hawk swooped and struck but the old hen outmaneuvered and out pecked him. Dorman saw the fight and ran tc the house to get a gun. When he re turned the hawk was dead. His necV was broken and one leg was crushed. And the old lady hen was strutting around clucking a lullaby to her three chicks. ? Conway Field. Old Plates Good Until January 16 W. V. Sutherland, director of tht state mttior vehicle division, said yesterday that although the law re quires 1933 license plates oe display ed January 1, motorists can use theii old plates until January 16 without arrest by highway patrolmen. A penalty of 50 cents is added however, to license plates now being sold. "The state law", Mr. Sutherland added, "says the new plates must be displayed January 1, but state policc have been instructed not to make arrests until after January 15, sincc it will take us that long to make a complete and thorough check o" li census sold." L ~ - He warned that South Carolin- 1 ians displaying old plates in anotlvj ! state are subject to anest and finet and might be held up until a licensr is purchased. ? 'The State. DR. LONG GREETS FARMERS HOPEFUL OF IMPROVEMENT "Only those who lived through Re construction have witnessed a more distressing situation than has existed during the past two years, but after all when we reflect seriously we have many things for which to be thank ful", says Dr. y?. W. Long, director of the Extension Service, in a New Year message of good cheer to farm ers in which he forecasts a general improvement in fundamental condit ions and an upward trend in prices of farm products. "Those of us who are in a position officially to keep in touch with con ditions in .other states realize that South Carolina is in a more favorable financial condition than many other states in the Union, Dr. Long con tinues. "First, the state is more nearly on a self-supporting basis than at any time in its recent history. Fifteen years ago South Carolina was depen | dent almost entirely upon the cotton I crop for revenue, while today the cot ton crop is supplemented by the pro ceeds from the sale of asparagus and practically every truck crop that can he grown in any part of the world except in the tropics, sub-tropics and arid regions. "Furthermore, a larger amount of butter is produced in the state than at any time in it* history; and the same is true of the production of hogs and poultry. There is, also, p ? more intelligent understanding a mong the people an to the fundamen tal principles Involved In the econom ic production of crops and t)ie intelli gent use of fertilisers; and the con trol of plant diseases and insects is better understood; the grading, pack ing, and standardizing of crops is ap preciated and undertaken as never before. "While it 1b always dangerous tr ? predict the action of legislative bod ies," the veteran farm leader con cludes, "I am going to make bold to rfay that in the next 12 months the coat of government will be greatly reckiced and thereby taxes lessened; that the tariff wall will be lowered and the purchasing power of the farmers thereby increased; that thr foreign debts will be readjusted and foreign trade stimulated. Soma 'Mr . v > ? Despite the fact that the 81st gen eral assembly of South Carolina will convene a week from today there has been only general interest in the sev eral eleotions which will be held. During the summer there was much discussion as to the favorite for speaker of the house but interest ev en in that race seems to have sim mered down during the winter. The new legislature will not have many elections to hold. There are five members of the railroad commission to be elected; a chief game warden and four circuit judges. Ordinarily when a member of the railroad com mission is to be elected candidates get busy long before the Christmas holidays but this year even five races for the railroad commission seem un able to arouse any enthusiasm. Elect ion of circuit judges, when no new men are to be named and it is a ques tion merely of re-election the judge holding the post, are ordinarily per functory affairs and promise to be so this year. f I On the railroad Commission the terms of John C. Coney, Reevesville; Thomas H. Tatum, Bishopville; Ben J Pearman, Starr; J. H. Nance, Cross Hill, and J. E. Beamguard, Clover, expire this year. Either they will be re-elected or their successors named by the legislature meeting next week. Sam C. Blease, Saluda, and Earle R. Ellerbe, Latta, are two members who hold over. The railroad commission still con sists of seven members; they were formerly from each of the seven con gressional districts. The seven dis tricts, however, were changed last year, being cut down to six, as South Carolina was to have but six con gressmen in the new national con gress. The state legislature, howev er passed an act making the old seven railroad commission districts into se ven railroad commission districts, so that seven men remain on that board. A chief game warden will be elect ed this year. There have been one or two candidates mentioned for this position, among them being Alfred A Richardson, now holding the office and to seek re-election, and Hugh Belser. Terms of four circuit judges expire this year, they being W. H. Town send, Columbia, Fifth circuit; Thom as S. Sease, Spartanburg, Seventh; W. H. Grimball, Charleston, Ninth; G. Ben Greene, Anderson, Tenth. The resignation of J. W. Shealy as commissioner of agriculture, com merce and industry left that post va cant but there has been persistant talk of consolidating this office with that of warehouse commissioner, so it is probable thatT the legislature will not fill it ? certainly not at the open ing of the session. ? *' J. Roy Jones is warehouse commis sioner and would offer for the com bined job. Col. J. N. Pearman has announced his candidacy for the com bined job, and Shealy, when he re signed said he would run. There are some trustees of state institutions to he elected hut these rarely occasion prolonged balloting, so it would seem that once the mat ter of a speaker of the house is put of the way, the legislature will cKn sume hut little time in elections.
