Biggest Families Live in Carolinas According to the preliminary count just completed by the bureau, of the census, there were 29,980,146 families in the United States in April, 1930. The term "family" as used in this preliminary count, signifies a group of persons, whether related by blood or not, who live together as one household, usually sharing the same table.' One person living alone is counted as a family, and at the other extreme, .all the inmates of an institution or all the persons living in a boarding house, are ordinarily counted as one family. The detailed tabulation of the family statistics, will deal primarily, with private families, excluding institutions and other large unrelated groups. Aml>ng the states, the average population per family was largest, 4.9, in North Carolina, while South Carolina was second with 4.7. The.^smallest population per family watf 3?.o^n California and Nevada. The greatest decreases in population per family were from 4.6 to 4.2 in both Oklahoma and Texas, and from 4.5 to 3.9 in the District of Columbia. Miss Rachel Arvilla Parker, 81, died at St. Petersburg, Fla., last January. She was an heiress to a fortune of $100,000. Howard Miller, 27, a grocery clerk, who claims to be a* nephew of Miss Parker and her heir, is held in jail in Kalamazoo county, Mich., while chemists Analyze the stomach of the dead woman to see if she died as the result of poison. Only a week or so ago poison was found in the stomach of Charles Hazard, 63, who was co-heir of the estate and Miller is held on suspicion of his murder. Philadelphia started out to raise $9,000,000 for unemployment relief. When the campaign was ended Monday night with a banquet for the canvassers the total went over to nearly $10,000,000. : Seen and Heard At State Capitol (By Eureka) So the Governor of South Caroline went to New York and arranged for tho sale of ten million dollars in notes for further highway construction! This litle maneuver on the eve of the convening of the legislature appears to be an etf*rt to forestall uny move on the part of the General Asssembly to, curtail the, expenditures of tho highway department. Mr. Blackwood seems to have fallen under the sway of the eloquence of the high-salaried men of the Highway Department, as well as those who seek somo specially favored projects, evon though the whole state go to the Demnition Bow-Wows. No better or clearer iLlustr#|ion could be given, of the utter lacV of knowledge of conditions in this state, or of actual want among so many people. ? It is a reasonable proposition that, if one cent of tho six cent gasoline tax is now given to the counties and i five cents reserved for a sixty-five million dollar boqd issue, as authorized by law,.then, if the total sale of bonds and notes of the state for highway construction were restricted to thirty-five or forty million dollars, the..bond-holders would be amply secured by the setting aside of four cents a gallon, allowing to the counties of the state two cents on each gallon of gas to be devoted to the upkeep of the county roads. And that all this upkeep might be done by the force which the state Highway Commission maintains in each county. Already the Highway Commission not only has very adequate headquarters in each county of the state, and adequate and competent, and may be excessive, personnel, but it has also the machinery with which to do the work. To enlarge the scope of its functions by/requiring that it as-' sume the care of all the county roads is merely to authorize an increase in the number of common laborers employed, singe The Highway already has its General Superintendent for county work as well as its Engineers and Foremen. This would be to relieve the counties of one of the heaviest burdens which they now bear and wou]d result in very great reduction in the levies, \yithout sacrificing any _real interesto of the State. At the same time this would be a proper use of the gasoline tax, si/ico those who pay the tax have about as much interest in maintaining-county roads as they have in maintaining state highways, and so it would not be any violation of the motive which prompted the imposition of the gasoline tax and would therefore not be open to any challenge as to the fairness or unfairness to those who pay the tax. It is singularly unfortunate that in the general administration of State affairs in Columbia our men should become so quickly removed from appreciation of the condition of the Stfete as a whole. It leads'to the question: "What taxes do these gentlemen themselves pay?" If Mr. Blackwood were paying one thousand or two thousand dollars of taxes, or ho were serving someone whose taxes are very high, he would feel more keenly the question of public debt. But if the average officia] - himself pay no tax worth mentioning, then indeed he may talk about all this tax agitation as though it were so much piffle. The man who pays almost no taxes can", with all impunity, vote for M&vy taxes. This is one of the esiStial injustices of our government. No one would wish to restrict any of the functions, or guarantees, or privileges, rights, titles, or emoluments, or what-not, -of the government to those who pay taxes, or to any man in proportion to his taxes, but it does appear to be a question rooted in fundamental justice that thftse men who?T?ay\no taxes should impose heavy taxation on those who do. The question of taxation is a big one, and has so many phases, that, , i n M d ttAnronl f I l>lllllllllll||||||||iniUHllllllllHIMi? j However you turn, yuu uuu I g confronted by difficulties.

R. Hawkins, extension animal husbandman with headquarters here, who states that by using care in curing the hams, shoulders and sides and by I canning the loins, sausage, etc., pork J can be made to go a long way toward .furinshing the family with an adequate meat supply. Furthermore, j in each community there is a good demand for good quality cotnitry cuied hams at" prices which should go a long way toward paying for the entire cost of the animal at present market value. ? ^ For best results Mr. Hawkins says that good, thrifty, young hogs weighing 200 to 250 pounds should be used. 0 possible these should be taken off Teed and allowed only fresh water to drink during the last 24 hours. The first cold spell in December is to be preferred for killing hogs sinco tho night* ate longer, the days are cooler, aml the -weather is more apt to bo dry and settled then than later on. Bleed the hogs without stunning and thug get a more thorough job of bleeding, which makes the meat easier to keep; scald in water " kept around 150 degrees, thereby greatly facilitating the cleaning process, Mr. Hawkins advises; and after the hogs are cleaned and dressed allow them to hang for 12 hours where the air will circulate about them freely. It helps in cooling to split the carcass down the back into two halves and remove the leaf lard'. Not only is it_m.uch easier, to trim the cuts of meat into a more desirable shape after the carcass is cool, but salting mea^ while warm Muses a hardening and Winking of fhe muscle fibers. Detailed instructions Jor handling and curing are given by Mr, Hawkins in Extension Bulletin 77, "Por for Carolina Farmers," available from Clemson College, Publications Division, or from county agents. The taxpayers of Gainsville, Ala., have been notified by the mayor of the town that the "town can get by the next year without taxes. ? have a cash balance with no debts to pay bonded or otherwise,"- says the mayor. . L Robert C. Hupp, Pioncor bi nutomobile building, died in Detr , Mich, this week, aged 55 yeais. The sleef storm of Tuesday was general throughout the Piedmont, with much lower temperature in the low country. The temperature went below freezing at Spartanburg and to freezing at Columbia, and at Florence to 40, at Charleston to 47. Much damage was done by the sleet storm in the higher parts of .the Piedmont part of this state. Spartanburg fire protection was paralyzed for a night, as tho fire alarm system wires went down under the weight of the ice. Theft* city was without light for hours, and tree limbs blocked streets there. The worst situation in tho history of Greenville included that city being cut off from communication with outside by falling wires, and only two linos had been put into use late on Wednesday, although 200 men were at work on them. Power lines were down all around Greenville, and 100 men were put to work repairing them. Union was without, lights or communications until Wednesday afternoon, and power lines from there, to Veal Shoals were badly damaged. At Gaffney, conditions were about the same as at Yorkville. | Rear Admiral Frank B.

If they were receiving from khe State and the counties salaries on the same level as the income of the average farmer and business man, they would find themselves on the groc^^books in decidedly bad odor. And^^B Governor of the state, having served so long as a salaried official, has been swept into this vortex of officialdom and deliberately would increase the debt of the state at a time when even the most ordinary degree of preoccupation for the public weal should prompt him to cut ofT his last finger rather than sign a note. There is talk of enjoining this. But who would grAnt the injunction? It if indeed a sad commentary on our public life that the . average man thinks the whole crowd tarred with the same stick. Business Women's j ? December Meeting The December meeting of the Hue-. ine.se an Professional Women's Club was held with Miss Ktta Bobbin* in the Camden hospital Monday night. The club activities for the past seveial months have been very successful. The bridge tournament of Nov-! ember which was ^phiyiul in St. Mary's Hull for the benefit of welfare funds was voted as both pleasant and profitable. This tournament has made it possible for one child toybe fitted with much-needed glasses, Mrs. W. K. Jackson and Miss Ktta Bobbins represented the club in Florence last week end when a charter was presented to the Business and Professional Women's Club of that city. ..... Miss A. P. Mott, who also attend* od this meeting mode an interesting talk on the International Congrvss of Women's Clubs gathered in Vienna last summer, where she went as a representative from South Carolina. She took great pleasure in expressing her delight over a letter sho had received from a Camden woman, who is always interested in any civic organization, and the club feels sure that her Camden friends will take pleasure in reading this letter: Van Lenepwcg, The Hague . July 17,11)31 Dear Miss Motte: Seeing from the Camden, S.

I am chairman of the current events and we are deeply interested in your work. I am writing my old Federation paper, so you will see my connection with dear old South Carolina in club work, and wish to tell you I am also the wife of thp American Consul here, and I would so love to see Vom Our club is only seven months old, but is husky even with only fiftyeight members, and we are deeply interested in international relations and hopo to found a Federation of American Clubs in Europe. I. do not know your address so my husband will send this through the American consulate in Vienna, and I hope it will reach you safely and you can send me some personal notes on the Congress and some data, even if you are not coming to The Hague. With hearty "fraternal" greetings to the members of the American grbup and best wishes for success of the Congress, Cordially yours, Sudle Kennedy VonTresckow Diversification Who, among all the farmers of Union county, are today to be found in safe, solid economic condition? We believe you will agree that it is the group that has followed some combination of the cow, hog and hen program. We would not say that every farmer- who attempted such a program made the grade. But we do say that no farmer save one belonging to the cow, hog and hen division made the grade. After all there is much to cause serious reflection in this statement, if it be true.?Union Times. Aliens leaving the United States during the month of October totaled 10,857, while immigrants entering the United States during the same month totaled 3,013. The largest number of departing aliens were Mexicans going back to their own country. The number of alien women coming to the United States is just about double that of men.
