Neae Ever Ihnpo
London, Jan. $4.?Dartmoor prison,
scene of today's violent outbreak, is
a grim pile of gray rock mt on tha
edge of those dreary moorlands that
were celebrated by Conan Doyle in
his story, "Hpund of the BaskerYiJUea."
It was founded in 1808 to house
French prisoners of war. During the
War of ^812, captured American seamen
or those refusing to fight America
were imprisoned there. The tombs
of many of these letter cen still be
seen.
Closed for a time, it was reopened
in 18fi0 and was utilised as a place
for conscientious objectors during the
great war. It haa since attained a
reputation ?for harsh treatment of
prisoners. It is said thut none has
ever escaped. N N
While occasionally a prisoner ^gets
outside the walls he has never been
known to make his way from the inhospitable
territory, either perishing
from hunger end exposure or beihg j
recaptured. IMoat ,of ?thp prisoners
are long-terdiera and hardened criminals.
Dartmoor is located in one of the
moist lonely and weirdest sections of
England. It is surrounded by many
bogs and morasses into which cattle
sometimes etumble and sink to,their
doom. The region is (perennially
jjhrouded in mists and natives believe
the dun-colored stretches are peopled
by spirits, one of whom is described
as a headless horseman, who ever
and %non rides across the dreary expanse.

/Patriotism, has been throttled by
<greed and fraternity by jealousy.

Author of New Book Here for Short Visit
Ionald de L. Kirkbride, author, whose book, "The Private Life of Guy
de Maupassant/' will soon be released by publishers.
I Donald de L. Kirkbride, one time
id^nt of Camden, is" here on a twonths
visit. Kia new book, *%rhe
vate Life of Guy de Maupassant,"
ng published by >Sears, ,of New
rk, will bo released, late in Febru'
9 ,i rhis
npvel, for the first time, reds
the character of de Maupassant
i the tragedy of his inner life. In
;crs to his beat?friend( Pranced
at est lover tells the tragic reasons
his great ^desires, and explains
inner life and emotion^,
n the preface by Helena Maxwell*
Stanford "University, it Is seen
t the life of de Maupassant was a
"adoxical combination of--the rigus
mental training ihsposed upon
1 by his godfather, Flhubert, ana
rsical appetites in vwhich he ingod
an .insistent, ever-growing
e for women?"not for one woman
ut hundreds of them."
*he episode which forp* the cli*
of Mr. Kirkbride's novel fcSjg
h point in de Maupassant's love
Under extraordinary circumnces,
he finally became ^he vie>
o{ laws which he, himself set up.
f only was thia last affair more
lent than Ids preceding amours,
i the writer abandoned himself
P complete intensity to "this
nge.* and delicate woman," whom
p-^'sldered \tbepfrfrct .dream, a
P and virtuoua being, fit to be th*
pier of a Buddha." *
Pt the one woman he trusted,
F>fi?d him. ^or (Madame d'ArmI
ipont shared one of her lover's dominant
characteristic's; where he had
loved "ail women'" she had loved "all
men," with a passion equaling his.
Loving de Maupassant and fiercely
hating his sex, she Was a hie, "not only
to have a distinguished lover, but
?o avenge herself on the 'entire male
ypx.' %*' "
"Here, certainly,". said Mr. Kirkbride,
"was the Ironic definition
de, Maupassant's,?of the destroying
power of intense love. He might
have prophesied for himself when he
wrote: , "Someone posseses my soul
and dominates it. .. We are finally
.killed by .what we.J^ Driven
from love to madness, and from madness
to death, helplessly striving to
clutch onto life, de 'Maupassant cries
outr.t, . ?
"I( seems to me^that I remember
... .One of my letters ... 1 I kiss
your feet that* they may bring you
to me without delay .... I kiss your
rhfnds,that are sb white and your
lips that are $o red ...? I want you
so badly...."
Mr. Kirkbride is also the author of
"Eiver of Souls/' a book of <poetry,
which is to be published to July, by
Harold Vinal, of Boston.
During his stay in Oath den, he is
collaborating with tfbrie - Boykfa, a
proposed novel Of negro life on a

I \ -
pTho following appeal fox the eeatinuance
of extension work in the
Mate waa made,to the-Senate Finance
^ommitUo by .Mrs. J. V. Williams,
pf Greenwood, wKb is state chairman
of education for the Council of Farm
Women. IMra. J. Whitman Smith*
latate president of the council* also
I spoke to the committee* asking* for
I the continuation of extension work in
I all the counties, saying that thia ia
the only organisatibn that takea the
results of experiments in dairying,
poultry raising and farming out to
the people of the county.
"The council 'of farm women appreciate*
the opportunity of making an
I appeal in behalf of Home Demonstuition
work in South (Carolina. We
believe the. Legislature is composed
(of. fair, open-minded man, earnestly
(seeking a solution to the difficulties
which confront our state. We sympthise
with you in the struggle you
Ure making \ to protect the credit of
I the state. We are willing to assist
I you but in removing the Home Demlonstretlen
Agents, we feel that you
are depriving us of one of our chief
sources of revenue,
"About twenty yg?rs ago a school
teacher in Aiken county, Marie Qromer,
seeing the destitute condition of
I many farm*girls began tomato canIning
clubs. The work-grew until It
has spread over the entire United
I States and has 'been adopted by ten
foreign countries. It is thia valua*
work, recognized all over the civilized*
world as originating in South
Carolina, which you are asking to
Iabolish. Has its mission ended?
Let these figures apeak for themselves.
/There are enrolled in Home
Demonstration work in the state 22,000
women^In 4-H 'Clubs for girls,
9,000. Does that show lack of inter"OST?
r**?
- C"
Home Agents have more than paid
their way by actual cash, brought to
farm families through their efforts
in 1931.
.?Total sales Uirough club markets,
$94,209.24.
Total of general sales made, $52,.^|Sales
through -South Carolina
Home" Products Association, $082.
Sales through home canneries, $941.02.
Total sales through Home
Agents alone, $148,098.26. Poujtry
shipments, home and, farn} agents coopcrating,
<$160,99t9.18. _^>r'~
Cream stations, home and; farm
agents cooperating, $5,445.55.
Total, $315,042.99.
This is mu<ih more than the state
appropriates for Home Demonstration
work. It has been long recognized
that a successful agriculture is1
theToundation of any country's prosperity.
Today as never before -diversification
is being preached and practiced.
^The cow, the hen, the hog and
the garden, from being side lines, are
being relied on as the chief sources
of our income. Dairy *and poultry
products, with garden crops, have always
been regarded as women's "pinmoney."
Now that they are taking
their place as an important pn$t of
J tlie family income^ we need the guidance
of our Extension leaders. So
long as the country was fairly prosperous,
many of ?mr people fel? no**
need of help from the Extension department.
Now* that agriculture is
stricken they are turning in numbers
to our Extension Service for help.
And in every county you will find
the ones who are cooperating with
the agents are the ones who are
achieving a fait degree of prosperity.
'In addition to the economic value
of the work, there is a very real
aesthetic side to be considered in the
increased Lbeauty of, the. ..country
wherq once bare yards were the
rule around country homes, now no
place is so humble, but has its planting
of ^flowers and shrubbery, -thus
satisfying the.~eye-.and?at the -same
time increasing the value of the property."
f
Dr. Poe, editor of the Progressive
Farmer, states, "I am persuaded that
our main hope for a prosperous southern
agriculture is to be found in
been .or will be trained in livestock,
9BfZliSjpBi? poultry products."
~~It- is to <be hoped* that the above
appeal will have its weight with the
Legislature when the' matter comes
up for consideration. \

Ben M. Sawyer, chief highway
commissioner, says he vftll ask the
legislature to enact reciprocity agreement^
with Georgia, agreed upon last
month, 'gnd with North Carolina* arranged
on Wednesday, about motor
vehicle licenses of one state being
effective In the other. Trucks and
.trailers engaged in public traffic are
the chief difficulties in the problem.

TIME OUT FOR THE KIDS
.. I think I was nearly 0 years old
when pa bought the clock. He paid
a peddler 13 dollars and 75 cents, 1
besides boarding him and his two
horses and carriage for 4 days and '
nights, for this Wonderful timepiece.
. Me and my 4 brothers and 5 sis- 1
ters had been hoeing torn down in
the bottoms that hot Friday, and
when we came home....the clock
was already sitting up on the fire* <
board in the muin sitting-bedroom
which had 2 big beda and 1
"trunlde" bed in it,
.. But we didn't know anything about
the clock till it began striking 12
while wo were eating. ^ We were so
amazed and excited, most of Us either,
got half choked or strangled to death.
I swallowed a sweet potato whole,
and several of the others got milk
and turnip-sallet lodged half-way
dou^n their wind-pipes."
. Everybody, except pa and irta, made
a dive for the whereabouts of that
clock, and was it pretty you
heard me, folks, It'was solid quar- ,
tered oak on the outside with gokl
hands, and its innards were made in
Switzerland and it was neatly as <
high as I was, and you could hear it
tick plumb from the kitchen to where *
it adorned the fire-place. '
..We boys and girls were too happy
and nervous to eat another bite after
that, clock had struck the noon hour
and we sat there;... in front of it
.^..waiting for it to strike again. .
and when it "told1" only 1, we all
cried out-loud and wondered why it
didn't strike^ lots of times Hke it did
the first time.
..Well, that clock struck every hour (
for several days, but the only time <
we missed its lo.vely tang-tangs.... ;
was at vjnight.... when we were a- 4
??il
sleep. Just before the striking hour ' *;
rolled around, we made a <4bee-lineM
forth? house... .sometimes half a"
mile from the field. ...and listened
n't her chime, if you'll let me call it
that; Neighbor* flocked to our House
from far and near to see and hear
that clock. ?
.. Wo wvro leaders, ,(jib I have said
before) 1ST our; community, and to
prove it. we ownedil ""t nnly the
first clocks.. .Ibufc we ran folks crazy
about a churning*, machine, tho
first, ono in Corner township.-*., .and
if my mind serves me right, we had
tjjp first covered gravy bowl in these
diggings... .as well as the first lassos
pitcher with a spring-lid on It. r
I'll never forget thfit clock..,.and
that gravy bowl.
