.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.
Mahatma Gandhi
Of course the editor of the -Star
fe; maintains that one's looks should not
be held against a man, but, looking
k t at Mahatma Gandhi, wo cannot conceive
of becoming fervently patriotic
at his bidding.?Marion Star.
Suggestion
If we could sell the legislature, instead
of lands and homes, for taxes,
real estate would pick up in South
Carolina.?Calhoun Times.
Perspective
It is well to remember that in
times like the present, we can get
a rather accurate idea of the future
bv studying the past. The troubles
of yesterday have somewhat vanished.
Isn't there hope for the future? ?

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.

He'll read about the parties and hell

Hut you ought to hear him holler

He's always first to grab it and he
reads it plumb clean through,
He doesn't miss an item or a want
ad?this is true.
He says they don't know what we

Care Of Livestock
During February
Clemaon College* Feb. 1.?-For early
spring care of livestock brief timely
hints are given below by Prof. L. 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.
