Old Plate Users
Columbia, S. C., Jan. 9.?Inspectors
from the State Highway Department
and local police officers in
the various counties of the State are
planning to spread a drag net f?r
approximately 00,000 motor vehicles
which are yet without 1930 license
plates, according to a statement issued
by Ben M. Sawyer, Chief Highway
Commissioner.
* Already a penalty pf 50 cents has
been added to the cost of each set
of licenity) plates, but after the 15th
of January violators of license law?
will be hailed before Magistrates and
charges- brought ugainst them. Mr.
Sawyer's statement follows:
"Our records show that an Jaiw
uary 4, 1930, approximately 121,000
motor vehicle licenses have been issued
for the year 1930. Making due
allowances for all causes whatsoever
it is conservatively estimated Jthat approximately
60,000 motor vehicles are
now being operated in the State without
licenses.
"The law allows the Motor Vehicle
Division the period from January 1
to January 15, to deliver licenses applied
for prior to the 31st day of
December and these have not only
been issued but applications now received
daily are given prompt attention
The duty of the Motor Vehicle
Division is to issue licenses as
applied for to January 15th but the
responsibility for securing licenses on
or before this date is the obligation
of the individual motor vehicle operator
or owner. On and after January
16th it becomes the lawful duty
of our organization to see and require
that no motor vehicles are operated
upon the p.ublic highways of the
State without proper licenses for the
year 1930.
"Accord'rig':' "n the morv'ng of j
January 16, 1930, I have authorized
^nd instructed Mr. Wr*"V. Sutherland,
Director of the Motor Vehicle Division
to begin a rigid campaign of
law enforcement against all persons
and firms who are found to be operating
motor vehicles without 1930
licenses. Tyenty license Inspectors
will be distributed and stationed so
that, with the assured assistance and
co-operation of certain city and
county police officers, the State will'
be covered with a drag-net. Our Inspectors
will handle all apprehensions
with courtesy, fairness and prompti
ness but all apprehensions will be
prosecuted and thereby all of the
facts, stories, extenuating circumstances,
alibis and what-not will have
to be told directly to the Courts.
"The law requires now tbat each
applicant for motor vehicle license
pay a penalty of fifty cents and this
amount should be included in each
remittance. The motor Ivehicle owners
of the State are urgently requested
to take notice of this final
warning and secure their 1930 licenses
on or before January 15th.''
Many Chinese Dead
From Severe Cold
Peiping, China, Jan. 10.?Half of
China for days has .been experiencing
the severest cold in 60 years with the
dead numbered in the thousands and
with tens of thousands suffering cruelly
from lack of shelter.
Undernourished population in the
districts where famine followed crop
failures in this summer were 'hard
hit and many died in the hovels into
which they had crawled in vain search
of warmth. The greatest mortality
from the wintry blasts was in the
Suiyuan district of northern Shansi
and inner Mongolia where it was estimated
that 15,000 undernourished
persons, most of them aged and children,
were dead from exposure.
In the town of Fengchen 2,500
were frozen to death, in Sahsien another
2,000 deid while in Poatow'chen
800 succumbed to the cold.
Honan province reported the coldest
weather since 1870, with below
zero temperatures reported in the
three Wuhan cities in Tluyioh province.
The Ham river was filled with
blocks of ice which had crushed
thousands of Junks and drowned
hundreds of persons.
The Rcngo news agency said 700
soldiers were frozen during the movement
of the second army. Bodies
were sent back to Hankow on freight
trains where soldiers and relatives
were summoned !by the boating of
gongs to come to the railroad yards
and take charge of the dead.
In Peiping the police reported 167
men and 41 women were found dead
since Monday while in Hankow, Wuchang
and Hanyang 100 persons died
within two days. Investigators
hove decided that the
recent disastrous coal mine disaster
at McAlester, Okla., was caused by
the striking of a match in the mine.
The disaster caused the loss of the
HTM ofjj^nrtaeri.

[Crop Summary for I
South Carolina 1929;
The tutal cm lima ted value of the
principal field and truck crops prd.
duced in South Carolina during 1929
ir $154,142,000, which is an increase
of $12,920,000, or 0.1 per cent, over
the eatimated value of $141,618,00
for the same crop* in 1028.
Thirteen truck crops, grown for
shipping and canning, are valued at
$0,107,000, or 89 per cent, above the
1928 value of $0,540,000 for the same
crops.
Crops showing increases in value
are: Cotton, corn, tobacco, oats, rye,
Irish and sweet potatoes, sugar cane,
soybeans and cowpeas; while cotton
seed, wheat, peanuts, sorghum sirup,
tame and wild hay, apples, peaches,
pears and pecans are below last year
in value.
The total crop acreage harvested in
1929 is estimated at 5,012,000 acres,
which is 5 per cent, less than the estimate
of 5,271,000 acres harvested
in 1928.
Average per acre yield is well above
last year for most crops, the yield of
oats and sweet potatoes breaking all
previous records. Improvement in
yields over last year is especially noticeable
in. cotton, corn, oats, sweet
potatoes and sugar can? while .rye,
peanuts, tobacco and the legumes also
have somewhat greater yields, but not
v/h^t, Irish potatoes, soybeans, cowpeas
and hay. The year was unfavorable
for fruits and nuts and these
crops were unusually small this year.
Bas^d on the December estimate
of 845,000 bales of 500 pounds gross
weight and an average December 1
price of 16.4 cents per pound the cotton
crop is valued at $69,290,000, j
compared with $66,792,000 last year, i
1 he average price is two cents per !
pound lower this year than last and
a D: \yv -ent. larger crop is worth '
only about 3.7 per cent, more money. '
Cotton seed is valued nt $10,500,-'
000, compared with $12,558,000 last
.year. Although the estimated pro-!
c'uction of 375,000 tons is 43,000 more j
than last year, this year's reported
price of $28 is $11 per toW less
than the 1928 price, so that the value
of the 1929 crop is 16.4 per cent, below
the previous year.
The state has gathered a good corn
crop. The harvested acreage of 1,422,000
acres is the same as last year,
but due to a much better average
yield per acre the crop of 23,321,000
bushels is 6,257,000 bushels above the
short crop of 1928. The December
1 price of 99 cents per bushel gives
it a value of $23,088,000, compared
with $28,088,000 last year.
The tobacco crop is estimated at
82,992,000 pounds and compares with
82,288,000 pounds last year. The average
price per pound of 16.0 cents
is 3.3 cents better than the average
of last year and the total value of
the crop is $13,279,000, compared with
$10,451,000 for the 1928 crop.
Oats have a value of $8,813,000.
compared with $6,821,000, last year.
The 408,000 acres harvested was 71,000
greater than last year. However,
the increase was more of a recovery
toward a ndbmal acreage from the
freeze out of the previous crop rather
than nn expansion of the usual acreage.
The reported average yield of
27.0 bushels per acre is the highest
of record for the state, but the harvested
acreage being less than in
some previous years the total crop of
11,616,000 bushels is not the largest
produced. ,
A wheat acreage of 64,000 acres is
the same as last year, but the yield
per acre was a half bushel less and
the average price about 11 cents per
bushel below 1928, so that the total
value of $1,162,000 is $136,000 below
last year.
A sharp reduction in the early
Irish potnto acreage last spring and
a lower yield per acre gave a total
crop of 2,354,000 bushels, compared
to 4,068,000 bushels last year, but
a much better price resulted in a
total value of $3,296,000, or $632,000
more than last year. .
A sweet potato-yield of 115 bushels
l>er acre is higher by 10 bushels than
that reported in any previous year.
The total crop is estimated at 5,750,000
bushels, compared with 4,214,000
last year. The total value ot $4,88S,000
is $1,306,000 greater than-la^t
year.
A higher yield of peanuts on the
fcame harvegted acreage resulted in a
larger crop than last year, but the
price was somewhat lower and the
crop is valued at $350,000, compared
with $406,000 a year ago.
Sorghum, valued at $1,034,000, is
approximately the same as last year.
Due to a much better yield per acre,
sugar cane sirup is valued at $810,000,
compared with $6J5,000 in 1928.
. Due largely to scarcity and high
price of cowpeas last' summer the
tame hay acreage of 865,000 acres
was 79,000 below 1928 and though the
yield was almost as. good the production
of 913,000 tons was 63/000
tons less. Ths crop is valued at $6,-1
tVfcsv "*'
U10.000 compared with $6,966,000 last
year. Cowpeas planted alone were
reduced also, the estimate being 165,000
acres this year, against 229,000
last year, but the crop of 1,155,000
bushels compares with 1,374,000 bushels
in 1928. However, a price of
$2.30 per bushel compared with $1.55
Inst year gives the year's crop a value
of $2,656,000, compared with $2,130,000
last year. Soybean production
at 405,000 bushels is about the
same as last year, but a somewhat
better price gives the crop a value
of $972,000 compared with $832,000
last-year. *
It was a poor fruit year and the
combined value of apples, peaches and
pears is only $1,337,000, compared
with $2,245,000 last year. !
The short pecan^rop of 480,000
1 pounds compares Iwth the moderate
crop of 575,000 last year^ The crop
is valued at $140,000 this year arid
I $151,000 Inst year.
