Although The Digest on previous occasions had always foretold the election results with startling accuracy, the country was little inclined to believe that there could be such a reversal in political control as The Digest figures of the week before the election indicated- Yet here they are: Digest forecast of the electoral vote ' ?Hoover, r>7; Roosevelt, 17 1.

The only, advice we have to offer vice president "Cactus .Jack" Garner, is that he never enter a beauty contest with any hope of a prize.?Calhoun Times. Valuable Citizen Mr. Hoover has announced his intention to retire from public life in March and return to live in California and probably enter business. It is probable, however, that the nation will find occasion to make use in various ways of the tremendous volume of experience ho has had in his eighteen years of public service and there is little doubt thnt he will at all times respond U> whatever calls to public service may be made upon him. The fact that the nation does not regard Mr. Hoover as having succeeded as President dues not in any way prevent it fryui regarding him as a good and "valuable citizen. ?Charleston Evening Post. Senior l-H Girls' Club In keeping with the growth of girls' l-H club work in Kershaw county an older girls' 4-H club will he organized in the office of the home demonstration agent next Saturday, November 20, at 10 o'clock. This organization will bo composed of girlf between the ages of 18 and 24 nn.c will fill the gap between the 4-H clut and the home demonstration club. This club will give the older girl an opportunity to continue her education along practical lines and all the girls in Kershaw county who are not in school are urged to attend this organization meeting. The subject of the first demonstration will be "putting the best foot forward." Terracing Demonntrations Terracing demonstrations are to bo conducted in practically every section of Krr-haw county in an effort to .

Therefore, it is requested by the county agent, Henry D. Green, that where a <lemonstration is scheduled for a certain community that all of the farmers of that community who can possibly do so attend that demonstration. Final returns from the recent election show that the Democrats will have h lead of 193 representatives in the lower house of congress and a majority of 22 in the senate. ' PIW^MMW>WPP?? V Capital Observations (Special Correspondence) Washington, D. C., Nov. 1J2.?AU of the national currency and pottage stamp* are produced at the Hureau of Engraving and Printing in Washington. It is an interesting sight to view the marvelous machlnea at workIn the early day* of the republic there was set aside in the District of Columbia a tract of land designated as the Congressional Cemetery, intended to be the final resting place of departed solons, -but the idea did not become popular as the families of deceased members generally desired that burial take place in their home communities. In the cemetery mentioned there stpnds a monument bearing this inscript^pn: "In memory of Hon. Jas. Blair, a Representative in the Congress of .the United States from the State bf South Carolina, who departed this life April 1, 1834, aged 48 year*." In the second volume of that excellent work, "Historic Camden," a chapter is devoted to General Blair, -whose home Whs in Kershaw county. Mr. J. P. Richards, who has been elected to represent the Fifth District in Congress, is a native South Carolinian. Representative Stevenson, who will have served sixteen years when his term expires in March, was born in North Carolina, while Hon. D. E. Finley, who had been in Congress very nearly eighteen years when his death occurred in January, 1017, was a native of Arkansas, al-1 though he had left the state during his childhood. Within less than two weeks Con! gross will be in session agiiin to resume its deliberations. One of the principal and most, troublesome duties ! will be to devise waJTs and means of | raising sufficient revenue to overcome | tiu* mounting deficit and to keep the | government's expenses within its in: come. In view of his utter repudiation ! at the recent election it has been i forcefully suggested that President Hoover forthwith march forth and not wait for the fourth of March, but he has not shown any disposition to do so. That could be accomplished by the president, the vice-president and the secretary of state resigning, and the appointment of Franklin D. Roosevelt as secretary of state. The latter would then under the law automatically become president. Joseph P. Tumulty, who was Woodrow Wili son's secretary, has stated, that . President Wilson intended taking i such a course had the election gone against him in 1916, with the war coming on. In such event Charles K. Hughes would have become president after having been designated as I. secretary of state. A large number of old Republican j wheel horses are sore and disgruhtj led because they had to go down with Hoover, whom they blame for insist"i.ng that great publicity he given and stressed as to the pressing issues of jthe day. Anyhow, it would seem that 1 the more publicity there was, the more votes .the Democrats got. A great many Senators and Representatives heretofore "dry" have now declared themselves in favor of the modification of the prohibition law, taking the ground that they base their change upon the result of the elec, {ion. The test of any law that may be passed will bo the determination of i what constitutes an intoxicating bevt erage, and the question is almost cer> tain eventually to reach the supreme court of the United States for interI pretation, while the eighteenth amendment is still in force (or supposed to be). The dry advocates i contend that any increase in the alcoholic content of beverages will in effect constitute a nullification of the amendment while the "wets" hold that legally such will not be the case. It will be recalled that the Democratic national platform specifically favored the repeal of the 18th amendment, and advocated prior to that accomplishment the modification ,.f the existing dry law. ' Regarding the coming change in J admini-1 rat ion. a va>t majo rity of j Fe.it-val employe- wiilgvit necc-sari'.y , be affected becau-e "f their being > mder the < la->ilieti civil service, and j not -ubjoct to remo\ al except lor cause. Commencing in March, however, upwards of 20,000 Republicans throughout the country will be added to the ranks of the unemployed, or placed upon their own resources. These are holding positions by presidential appointment, and a good many will go at once. There will not be much delay in replacing District Attorneys, U. S. Marshalls, Collectors of Internal Revenue, together with sundry other highly paid officials and their immediate subordinates. The postmasterships will go more gradually. Post offices are of four classes, and the smallest pqid, those of the fourth class, are covered by civil service. The positions filled by presidential appointment, those at third, second and first class offices are comparatively few. The difference in class is dependent upon the salary, NOT BI.BCTKD \BT In spit? of the fact that it is now generally understood that Frankljn ?. Roosevelt will be the next President of the United State* and that John N. Garner will rule over the Senate in the capacity of Vlce-Pre*>-, dent, these two gentlemen will not be legally elected to their high office* until tfcO ?e*ond Wednesday in next February, the day on which the law of the land say* the President of the Senate shall oon the ballots in the presence of both houses of Congress and announce the winners after the votes are counted. A bit of irony will entet the formalities next year because to VicePresident Curtis will Tall the duty of carrying the ballots through tha Capitol to the bailiwick of his successor, Speaker Gamer, where he will announce the outcome of the only popular election he ever lost. The Constitution prescribes the number of electors' and the manner in which they <?hall exajcis? their high functions, but leaves to the states the mode of appointing them and to Congress the power to determine a uniform time for choosing them and th# day on which they shall cast their votes. As the law no.w stands the electors cast their votes for President and Vice-President on the second Monday in January and they are counted in the presence of the Senate and House in Washington on _the second Wednesday in February.?Greenville News. Highway Courtesy It is encouraging to hear of that letter from a New York citizen to Governor Blackwood about tho gentility of an employe of the State I Highway department who assisted | him on a highway in this state. That should be the attitude of-all state I employes, and especially those having j an opportunity to meet visitors in | j their daily work along the highway, j Friendliness always puys, and friendly service pays even a greater dividend.?Greer Citizen. atmosphere of youth Being around the 50 mark Frank-j lin Delano Roosevelt will bring some- i thing of the atmosphere and outlook of youth, as age is computed these days, when he is inaugurated president of the United States on March 4, 1033. Only his fifth cousin, the late Theodore Roosevelt, ranks him in the line of 31 of the nation's chief executives as to youth when he was installed as president at 42. i_ Ktrke Simpson, noted A. P. writer, defines this spirit that the Democratic president-elect brings to his important duties in this manner: "It is to be discerned in his voice and his buoyant temperament, his smiling approach to/rrmst of the problems of life, his eaggrn^SB to have a part in the active, stirring current of life and of public service?an eagerness that overrode even the handicap of infantile paralysis when it fell upon him in mid-career.

Y., manufacturer went to a crematory, paid the fee for having his body cremated, then retired to a man's room and committed suicide. which in turn is regulated by the volume of business.

Wiroberly, of St. George, and Rev. Thomas Kemmerlin, Jr., of Grover, is indeed a great loss, not only to the individual com muni- , ties in which these noble pastors resided, but to Dorchester county as a whole. But we must bow in humble submission to Him in whose vineyard I these pastors live and labor, and what | is Dorchester's loss shall prove the gain of Camden and Buckville, the pastorates to which Dr. Wimberly and Rev. Kemmerlin go. Dr. Wimberly has lived and labored among us for four years, and during this time has won the esteem and love of all with whom ho came in contact. He is without a doubt one of the greatest preachers in the Methodist Conference, and his going to a larger field of service is a crown well won. Camden in one of the best pastorates in the state, and in Dr. Wimberly they will find a man amply fitted, both spiritually and mentally, to carry on their great work. * * While regretting the departure of ] Dr. Wimberly and Rev. Kemmerlin, both of whom we have come-tot love, the County Record Extends to them our best wishes for a most successful work in their new fields. May their leaving us be only another step towards greater and more useful work for our Master's Kingdom. And again, we hope to have the Measure of having these preachers ! come "back home," so to speak, somej times and mingle again with folks whose love and best wishes shall fol- low all along life's pathway.?Dor; chester County Record.
