This special prise is made possible by the generosity ot the South Carolina Sweet Potato Association through its manager, Mr T. B. Young. In order to compete for this prize growers must have been entered in the sweet potato contest. They may load the car individually or .jointly with other contestants. The variety must be pure and in accordance with v..? . uico jbwu uuwn in x.ne sweet potato contest. The car must contain not less than 600 bushel packages of U. S. No, 1 potatoes packed According to the specifications of the South Carolina Swee^ Potato Growers Association. Judging of the cars will be done by a committee appointed by the Association, and the South Caro lina Extension Service. The purpofce of this special prize is to encourage proper grading and packing of sweet potatoes. Although many sweet potatoes are produced in South Carolina, entirely too few I of them are graded and packed to meet market requirements, according to Prof. R. A McGinty, horticulturist at Clemson College, and Mr. Young, of . the Association.

All in America To Be Counted An army of 100,000 enumerators will begin on Jan. 1, 1090, Ur count the population of the United State* for the fifteenth census. Notwithstanding the failure of the Seventieth Congress to aend to the President the bill providing for thU census, W. M. Steuart and hi* aaaiatauta are completing plans for taking the count ynder the nuthority of the census billof ten years ago. The law of 1920 has several defects, and new legislation is needed by July i If the Census Bureau is to do a satisfactory Job. The 1930 census will be the biggest undertaking of its kind in history. It will cost over a three-year period, including the printing of the results, about 939,000,000. pr more than 30 cents for each person counted, The Census Bureau has received $19,000,000 for the first year's work, so the failure of the bill in the -Seventieth Congress has not kept from the bureau the funds necessary to begin the project. The expenses incident to taking a census have been steadily mounting. It cost $44,377.28 to count the 3,929,214 Americans in 1790, the year of the first census. Enumerators then1 received one-third of a cent to two eents for every person counted.^ ?$*ty years later the population1' of the United States had0 increased to 1,7,069,453 and the census of 1840 cost the taxpayers $833,370. Ten years j later the cost had jumped to well 1 over $1,000,000, and the figures hgvo increased with each successive decade. The fourteenth census, taken in 1920, showed a population of 106,710,020, and the American people paid out $26,117,000 for this and related data. The scope of the census has steadily broadened through the years, making the decennial count increasingly expensive. Population figures are only a part of the census. The new census will probably show a relative slov^ng up in the growth j of our population. For the first seven decades of our history, the population increased 'at the rate of about 35 per cent every seventy years. For the next three decades, t^e rate of in-_ crease was> 26 per cent, followed by a drop to 21 per cent for Chi* AiTt twenty years. The 1920 census showed a population of 105,710,620, a 14.9 per cent increase over the 1910 totals. The 1930 census may well reveal a rate of increase even smaller than this. The fourteenth census revealed that the percentage of our 1920 urban population was 61.4, as compared with 4-5.8 in 1910. An even greater percetftage ofr Americans, In all probability, will be classed as city residents in nex!t yea^s count, a city being officially defined as an incorporated community with a population I of 2,600 or more. In 1880, the percentage of city dwellers was only 28.6.9 I The 1930 census will not be confined to population figures. It will be a census of population, agriculture, irrigation, drainage, mines and J manufactures. The agricultural census will provide an inventory or cross section of the resources and status of the farming industry. It will thus give the basic data for research work in- agricultural economics and exten sion work. "Both the nation as a whole and the farmer as a producer are vitally interested in bringing the level of efficiency of agriculture up to the highest point possible,' said a memI orandum submitted by William M. Jardine, former Secretary of Agriculture, to the House committee,..- "and I accurate statistics, of which the cehsus of agriculture is the essentia foundation, will be of the utmost im I portance in contributing to this re j suit." Provision for a distribution census was contained in the bill upon which the Seventieth 'Congress failed to act. This was a project which President Hoover strongly recommended to Congress when h6 was Secretary of Commerce. Specific information on | the distribution of commodities is relatively meager. "We do not even know the volume of our retail trade, nor can we guess it within $10,000,000,000," Mrv Hoover wrote to the House committee. Through the cooperation of variousl I private agencies, including the Chamber of Commerce of the United States,! experimental censuses of distribution: were recently taken in eleven cities of different sizes in various parts of the country. A special committee of' sixteen economists and government: specialists had charge of these experi-1 ments. After these statistics hadj been completed and analysed, the committee recommended to the Department of Commerce that a national census of distribution be taken. Mr. Hoover concurred in the recommendaThe legislation un^er which the fourteenth census was . taken has three objectionable features, in tha opinion of Director Steuart. First, the salaries authorized are too low to enable the <3ensus Bure*d to git the kind of men it needs. In 1920 enumerators were paid 4 cents ta person counted. The bill upon which the Senate failed to set would have authorized a higher rate of pay. In counting rural population and the ocs eupants of apartment houses hi particular, 4 cents per capita is regarded as altogether too low a compensation. - . -* A second objectionable feature (g the old bill is the ,date fixed for the count.- Wiather condltioni In Jamxd ary make the wirk of the census of Four Killed When Plane Crashes Beaumont, Cel., March 30. - The roughest mountain pas* in American air lanoa today took its toll of four Uvea when an air transport liner bound from Loi Angeles to Kl Bash, Texas, crashed in the fog, exploded and burned into un unrecognizable mesa with Vs pilot and three men passengers. In a heavy fog, with disabled engine, the Standard Air line monoplane, a Fokker with one engine, went to its doom in1 the heart of the pass just three miles north of here. The victims were: Dclbert K. Kveritt, Jr., pilot, of Los Angeles; K. L, Blanc, wealthy business man of I/os Angeles; George Nieo, wealthy Los Angeles contractor, and T. J. Kelly, stock broker salesman of Los /Angeles and San Antonio, Texas, who was rushing to, the bedside of his wife In San Antonio^ A 12-year-old boy,''Gerald Crane, living in thfe mountains near" the scene of the tragedy apparently wa$ the only witness to the crash. A good citizen is one who doesn't break any laws except the ones you j break.?St. Louis Post-Dispatch. i ficials difficulty The Cenqus Bureau wanted Nov. 1 set as the census duy, which date was approved Tjy...the Senate committee. A provision setting the number of i supervisors at 400 was a third weak| ness of the old bill. More supervisors are needed, it is said, with a smaller district for each. Director Steuart desired 550 supervisors, with a cor| responding number of districts. I The bureau faces greater dffficuli ties in the 1930 census thah in any i of the preceding counts. Americans I are great travelers, and the enumerator cannot easily be certain that the people in a given city, really should be credited to that city. Los Angeles and Miami are two of the many cities that are worrying the officials of the Census Bureau. There* are many people in these cities who live there for two, three or four months a year but whose real homes are dteewhere. The job of the Census Buro|U will be even more difficult if the count has to be taken in January, f^r it is in the winter months that the ranks of the migratory colonies in Florida and Southern California arc largest. Another obstacle lies in the development of apartment house and hotel life. Matty an enumerator in 1920 spent a day oV so in merely getting permission to seek information from the occupants of the apartments. Ia these days, the American mother, as well as the American father, is likely to be a breadwinner. < The enumerator may make half a dozen visits to an apartment without results. To assure as accurate count as possible of the occupants of apartment houses and hotel8 in 'New York and other big cit es, Director Steuart has taken steps to enroll as enumerators an employe of each large hotel, apartment house and institution. Foreign groups present another problem. In our cities today are ! many thousands of people who know 1 little, if any English, and it is no easy assignment for the census enumerator to obtain data from them. President,Hoover in due time will issue a proclamation announcing the date and purpose of the census. This will be translated into the principal , foreign languages, published in the foreign language press and posted in public places. By these means the Census Bureau hopes to secure the full cooperation of foreigners. Trap Gun Kills Youth Florence, March 29.?Clyde Boa well, 24, whose home is said to be near Charleston, died in a Lake City 1 hospital last night, the victim of a ] fhotguh trap act for thieves. ' Aimar Willoughby, of Scranton, S. C., is said to have set the trap. Young Bos well, flirlth three brothers and another companion, all of whom , are said to have been traveling the ( country repairing stoves, ran out of j gasoline en route to Florence and Clyde Boswell was sent scouting for | a filling station. Shortly ufterward, the report of a gun was heard and was followed by calls for help. Boswell was found in a dying condition, having received the full load from a shotgun so arranged to fire when the garage door was opened. According to officers, Mr. Willoughby set the trap more than ai month ago following raids on his garage. Governor Beed of Kansas has appointed former Governor Hdhry J. Allen to the United States senate to fill out the four-year unexpired term of Senator Curtis now filling the office of vice president. fi FINAL DISCHARGE , Notice is hereby given that one mopth from this date, on Monday, April 8th, 1929, we will make to the Probate Court of Kershaw County our final return as Administrators of the estate of John B.
