Frico annum $2.00, payable In advanen* ^'frlday, February 5, 1032 .Sam Rlttonberg, member of the South Carolina house from Charlea>( < ton and vice-chairman of tho **** and means committee, had a largo funeral on Sunday, llo was stricken with heart disease, Thursday afternoon, after attending the house ?os; ?ion that day, and was carried home to Charleston by friends, dying several hours after arriving there. He was CM years old, was born In Kusaia, and moved from Buffalo, N. Y. jn 1800, to Charleston, where he became a dealer in real estate. He was a member of the house in 1013-14 and again from 1035 to this session. The supreme court Thus "reversed tho lower court and tho conviction of Ira B. Jones, of Lancaster, for viola: tlon of tho banking laws, and ordered |VV a new trial. Justice Blease, who wrote the opinion of tho,*supreme court, said in it that if the defense ' had moved for a directed verdict of acquittal on the ground that the state had failed to prove that the, borrowting of bank funds by Jones was done knowingly, willfully and unlawfully, tho acquittal would have been ordered. The borrowing was through overdrafts that amounted to $1,171. ^ ,0 There was.no evidence that Jones E-?. . knew ~ tho overdrafts Were being charged to his acount by the cashier of the bank. $ \ Pay Your Debts Everybody is ready to offer suggestions for the banking situation E". in this state. Hut there is one important and fundamental idea that is seldom mentioned?payment of obligations. That will come neaiei than anything else in solving the pi'dblcm. When people disregard their debts and borrow more than they are worth the credit system is obliged to fall. So while the banking organization is making plans for the future the borrowers should remember that credit is based upon payment.?Greer Citizen. ???? ? AI Smith Former Governor Smith, of New Y-ork, has had his day in the Democratic party. Ho wa* given tha ^ chance, and he failed to make good. Now thero is nothing for him to do but step aside and let somebody else lend the party jto victory. He can't do it. The only thing that Will stand in the way of Democratic victory this year will be the lack of party unity. If the party lends a listening ear to dissenters, it will mean disaster right at a time when the stars were IV * never brighter in the Jeffersonian I;-' skies.?Bamberg Herald.

Race For Senate Is Taking Form Columbia, Jan. 80.?Although it is a long time until tho Democratic primary next August, th erace for ? seat in the United States senate is taking on pretty definite shap.e. The .line-up at present, subject to change- without further notice, uppears to be this; Senator Ellison D. ("Cotton Ed ) Smith, seeking re-election. Former Senator Cole E. Mease, foi years a factor in South Carolina politics. Edgar A. Drown, of Barnwell, a leader in the state senute. Former Governor John G. Kichurds, of Liberty Hill. I,eon W. Harris, of Anderson, solicitor of the 10th judicial circuit. Dlease and Harris are announced candidates. Both were in the senatorial race in 1080 when Blease was unseated by James F. Byrnes, of Spartanburg. Brown, while not having definitely committed himself, is known to be seriously considering throwing -his hat in the ring. Ho was beaten by Smith in 1926. Governor Richards is considered by political observers as a probable condidate, although no definite word has come fr6m him since he retired to his plantation at the expiration of his gubernatorial term a year ago. There are others, too, who may enter the race, but at present their candidacies are in a more or; less nebulous state. _ Those opposing#Cotton Ed" Emith admit the economic situation may have much to do with his success or failure. He took office 24 years ago, and on each time he, has sought re-election, the price of cotton, has boen going up. Since his Aiajor efforts have been devoted toward improvement of conditions amohg cottop farmerfc, he has benefitted directly. "" If the price of cotton improves this year, his opponents think he will be doubly hard to beat. Former Senator Blease, beaten two years ago by a slender, margin is expected to make a bitter fight to regain a place in Washington^ He has always had a heavy following in the state. Brown made a strong race against Smith six years ago and is given a ohance of proving strongeu this year. He should poll a heavy rote in the lower counties of the state. Former Governor Richards and Harris both are candidates worthy of serious consideration. Richards was victor over the present governor, Ibra C. Blackwood, by a good margin in 1926. Harris, who had never run for a statewide office previously, polled nearly 40,000 votes in the three-cornered race with Blease and Byrnes in 1930. The race should prove 'interesting. Every one of the five now mentioned as probuble candidates is a colorful figure. Poultry Shipment. A poultry shipment is to be made from Bethune Saturday, February 13, from 9 a. m. to 4 p. m. Everyone is urged to bring their chickens and turkeys as this, at present, is about the only means of getting little money into the county. The buyer is the same one who bought in Bethune January 20. I hope every farmer will cooperate in order to receive a little cash money. The prices will be posted in your post office advises Henry D. Green, the county agent.

V., Starkey, animal husbandman; C. G. Cuahman, dairy specialist; and P. H. Gooding, extension poultryman: i Animal Husbandry Feed bred sows liberally a wellbalanced ration and gige exercise. Remember the high market \isually comes in March and April, so feed hogs well on corn and fish meal or other balanced ration. Give ?wes extra care at lambing, with exercise and ample legume hay, anil if thin some grain. Feed miiles to be in good flesh at plowing time. Feed breeding beef cattle to maintain weight until grass comes, and those fattening for market a well-balanced, gradually increasing grain ration. Dairying Rreed as many cows as possible during February for calving in November and early. December. Plan abundance of home-grown feed for 1932-1033 winter feeding'. Continue to repair fences, clean up the lots and grounds and white-wash outbuildings and fences. Watch calves and yearlings for lice, which at this season do greatest damage. Provide for each mature cow: Legume hayr two tons; corn, eight bushels; velvet beans, 420 bushels; oats, 15 bushels; four sacks cottonseed meal; permanent pasture, two acres; soiling crops, one-fourth acre Poultry Put brooding equipment in working order. Hatch chicks at the proper time, or place order with & reliable hatchery for delivery date desired. Provide clean range for chicks and pullets. Hold hatching eggs not over 10 days before setting. Hog Outlook Fair Clemson College, Jan. 30.?Notwithstanding the present low demand and the increase in production, tfre outlook for hogs is sufficiently favorable to justify South Carolina farmers increasing the number of brood sows to the point where most of the surplus corn will be marketed through hogs rather than sold as grain, says Prof. L. V. Starkey, regarding the prospect for profit from hog raising in 1932. The indications now are that during the coming year it will be economy to a greater degree than usual for farmers to produce their own supply of meat. At the present time the number of pigs produced is not sufficient to supply the local needs for pork and the demand for feeder hogs, and Prof. Starkey believes that more hog feeders should be producing the pigs which they ptrt in the feed lot. In this connection he urges considerable emphasis upon improving the blood by usir\g purebred boars, for there arc greater prospects of making a profit on wellbred hogs than on scrubs. It has been shown repeatedly in recent years that hogs fed corn and a supplement according to demonstration methods will market the corn at considerably more than the market price of corn; and it has been proven experimentally and demonstrated thoroughly that forage will s?ve about one-third of grain necessary to produce 100 pounds of pork, thereby reducing the cost of producing pork. Wbile there are more hogs in the United (States than there were a year ago, the number is less than the fiveyear average; and the supply of feed grains is somewhat less than the fiveyear average. Hence, Prof. Stnrkey*s view that for South Carolina farmers, with surplus com and other feed grains, the prospect for' pork production justifies makipg plans to grow forages with the idea of marketing these forages along with grains to hogs. In this way may be taken up some of the slack in land and labor from reduced cotton acreage.
