It is a very sad case. That the Highway Commission should becomo intoxicated with its own dreams and pet projects can be understood; and that the great Iodine exponents should rave over the great mental statiire of Carolina's noble eons? drunk with iodine?can be appreciated; and that valiant Jim Dozier should conceive mighty plans for South Carolina's army maneuvers is all to the good; or that Jimmie Hope should tear his hair* in the effort to tKink out thoughts for the public weal is something we can surmise; or that Dr. Jim Adams Hayne should complacently contemplate a state saved by his efforts is all well enough; but that "Andy" Beattie go wild and suffer aberrations from mere figures stupefies us and arouses our deepest sympathies. Now what has "Andy" done? He has made a discovery that will rank him with the great Columbus, and even with the discoverer of Iodine. Says "Andy" to himself: "All these figures that I have set down in a book must mean something because figures don't lie. Therefore, I will breathe into these figures the very breath of life." Columbus, aa you know, spent weary weeks looking over the vast expanse, hoping that it really meant' something; and our chief Iodinists have dreamed dreams of a- pepped-up people bathed in iodine. But "Andy" Beattie has cruised around with, pencil and scratch pad, trying to chart a navigable course, and lo! He arrives at a clusion! He finds a fact.-'Now, not to hold you in too-.great . suspense, here is what he give's to an eager and waiting woM?1 namely, to wit: that all the unpara back taxes constitute a surplus fund, and that, therefore, the state enjoys a twenty million dollar surplus, and that he would have the legislature redeem tho state deficit by charging this deficit to the counties against the twenty million dollar surplus and,, sit back as proud citizens of an opulent state, rejoicing in the transmogrifiication wrought by "Andy" with his little pencil. Now it is all very simple,^ and shows you what genius can do. "Andy" should have gone a little further with ail this vast sum of figures. He should not have stopped at merely lifting the deficit! ' With such a broad, uncharted sea, he might have sailed much farther. With the same facility he might not only have passed the state's deficit to the counties, but he might have also charged to the counties the whole operating expense of the state for 1932. Why he should be so stingy we do not undfr" stand If a man can't be liberal with figures, then what in the world can he be liberal with? Now one> Pha?4e?f_ this illuminating discovery dy? has hurled at a hushed and br^thleSs world is this: that al debts are the same as money, and that all the back taxes due to the ,. -*y of thousands of men are as so'much money in hand and can be spent at will. The more we contemplate this stroke of "Andy's" genius, the more we are convinced that he . shedding his fraeranec. on lheJes" air! With such interpretative and manipulative ingenuity. ' An< y should command a fabulous salary, for that man, with his eagle eye, ; could instantly unfreeze the frown assets of all the banks, and resto (to our fiscal institutions a liquid | character comparable with an ar esian well in a barren land.

Garden Work For December - I A. E. Schil letter, extension horticulturist, and Dora Dee Walker, production and conservative specialist, offer the following' suggestions for the December garden: Insects and diseases that are allowed to pass through the winter in a jtegleoted orchard,, garden, or tield accept this hospitality and enjoy the congenial quarters provided for their hibernation. Thus encouraged, these unwelcome guests come forth in the spring and multiply in increased numbers. Many of the most destructive insects and diseases found in the orchard and garden are destructive because the owner of the orchard and garden fails to employ standard and well known remedies for their control. This is true of weeds also. And weeds, when allowed to develop and remain in orchard, garden, field and waste places afford resting places, feeding places arid breeding places for these posts. The employment of sanitary measures. in the orchard ami garden is as necessary and proportionately important for tlw protection of fruits and vegetables as is the employment of sanitary measures for the protection of farm animals and human .beings. All life must offer resistance of opposing forces that impair and destroy life. Prepare hot-beds for sowing seed in January. Make garden plans for the coming year?order seed catalogs. Garden crops, such as beets, carrots^ parsnips and salsify can bo left where grown and dug when wanted. Fall beets and carrots later in the season should have a light furrow thrown over the beds, since these crops are somewhat tender. Plant English peas of smooth, round type for early spring crop. If not enough cabbage plants have been set -to supply the early spring needs set them now. Be sure to set them deep enough to cover the entire stem. Plant for succession, cabbage, kale, lettuce, onion and spinach. Strawberry, dewberry, raspberry and blackberry plants should be set now. Windstorms Kill and I>amage. Little Rock, Ark., Dec. 18.?'Torrehtial rains and severe windstorms swept over southwest Arkansas and northern Louisiana early today, causing great damage in Camden and Waldo, Ark., the death of three children and injury to about 20 persons. In the vicinity of Eldorado, Ark, and Monroe, La., the rain caused rivers and creeks to rise, submerging railroad tracks and delaying train service because of washouts. The water was reported receding near Eldorado tonight, however. A washout on the Illinois Central cut off traffic between Monroe and Shreveport. The rain was general over Arkansas. One fatality occurred at Camden where five-year-old. Helen Colvert was buried in the wreckage of her home, destroyed by a tornado. Two negro children were killed on a plantation near Minden, La., when a tornado destroyed three houses. -Some of the largest structures in Camden, a town of 7,000 population, were wrecked by the wind. The wrecked buildings included the Methodist church and the courthouse. Although most of the buildings in Waldo, a town of 1,000 population, were wrecked, only two persons were known to be . injured there. The storm struck Waldo first. A company of national guardsmen was called out to patrol the devastated area. Work of removing the debris was begun immediately. Hundreds were left homeless and were being c*red for in makeshift quarters. ~~ TAX RETURNS. Office of Auditor Kerahaw County. Camden, S. C\. December 17,, 19J1.

Intelligent Planning Improves Hope Clomson Colletfv, D*h\ lit.?"There is more difference between the good farmer and the poor farmer in timK$ like these than ever before," said C. R. Arnold, senior economist of the IJ. S. Department of Agriculture, speuking at the Extension Service annual meeting December 17 on the need for greater efficiency in farming and the value of business-like farm record-keeping towards this efficiency. Speaking later on economics Sir. Arnold said that farmers can no longer succeed blindly without plbchv ing farm enterprises by the outlook on world economic conditions, , lie thought that it may bo best eventually for farming that the depression run long enough to bring, down other commodities comparably with farm product prices. Livestock received prominent attention on Thursday's program and specialists reported noteworthy increase in interest in hogs, dairying, cattle, poultry. J. K. Hawkins, livestock specialist, pointed out that a little money for fencing for hogs and cattle is a profitable investment; that we havo 110 business selling hay which should be fed to our own cattle; and proscribed cow manure poultices on poor soils as 0110 remedy for our siek agriculture. "So long as 87 per cont of our farms are without dairy cows and so long as we can produce dairy products cheaper than in other areas, there is no danger of farm dairying being overemphasized in South Carolina/' said C. G. Cushman, extonsion dairy specialist, pointing out that our; advantages lie in cheap land, mild climate, long growing season, wide variety of grazing crops, and cheap roughage. Ralph Coatssey and R. D. Steer, dairy specialists, told of progress in introducing better cows, improved feeding methods, establishing cream stations and routes. P. H. Gooding, extension poultryman, told of the increase in South Carolina's chick hatchery capacity from 400,000 in 1928 to 1,148,000 in 1931 and said, "We haven't yet scratched the surface in the sale of baby chicks in South Carolina. Stating that records show feed cost to b? 80 per cent of the total cost of egg production, Mr. Gooding added that feeding-formulas are now simpler and that home-grown feeds helps lower the cost. He urged early pullets to beat the midwest .producers to the spring egg market. ? ?M Representative Tilson, liepublican, and floor leader in the last congress, has vacated his office over the door of which hung this sign, "Office of the majority leader." He thus acknowledged a Democratic majority in the lower house, and the office will be occupied by Rniney, Democrat, of Illinois. William R. Johnson, well known Coast Line railroad conductor, was buried at Lanes, near Sumter, his home. He died in Columbia, at the other end of his run of heart disease and was 54 years old. He leaves a widow and a brother. A hit and run driver walked into a * Chicago police station Friday and said he had killed a man >nd a boy the night beforq. He said ho ran away because he was afraid the gathering crowd would kill him. Taken to the morgue he found that his victims were his brother-in-law and a nephew. I James A. Farley, New York Democratic state chairman, predicts that Franklin D. Roosevelt will be nominated by the Democrats for the presidency on the first ballot of the next convention. Winston Churchill, British statesman, injured by being hit by an automobile in New York on Sunday night, is steadily improving. LETTERS TO SANTA CLAL'S Bethune, Dec. 21.
