Friday, llecember 30, 1932 NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS f_ <1 \?w While this is a good season for the motorist to determine that he will drive more ca refully during 1033, it is also a proper timo forv^h? Petle*~ trian to resolve that he will avoid those errors which in 1031 killed 14,500 walker* and injured nearly 300,000. Maxwell Hulaey, traffic engineer of the National Bureau of Casualty and Surety Underwriter*, has drawn up a act of resolutions for tho mnn-a-foot. They are: 41 City c 4 1 will not cross a street when traffic lights are against mo, nor will I cross diagonally or between intersections. I will not cross at intersections where there are no signals without looking to traffic. 1 will not come from bohind parked cars without observing what is, before me. I will not get on or off a street car without satisfying myself that my way is clear and I will not take it for granted that all motorists always obey all rules. I will not take a chance any place against a dangerous driver. Country 1 will not forget to walk on left side of road so that I can face oncoming cars. I will not cross at a sharp curve or just at the brow of a steep hill j where I cannot see what is coining. J I will not forget to allow for a j swerVe of a car on rough roads, giv-j ing all vehicles plenty of room. | I will not forget when I drive how c I feel when I am walking. Follow these instructions and be a "safe walker." Need Liberalization. The South Carolina Taxpayers' League records itself officially as in fa vor of amending the libel laws of South Carolina in order that the press can be loss restricted and prescribed in its efforts to contribute to the welfare, development and expansion of the state. The organization , realizes that tho press renders service, and that this service could be vastly improved were there some liberalization of the stringent libel statute. The majority of the states hnve enacted libel taws that are far in advance of the archaic statute on this subject to be found in the South Carolina code.' Their lawmaking bodies have noted under tho assumption that even a newspaper man can distinguish the difference between liberty and unbridled "license when it comes to recounting the news or expressing t comment thereon. The Tax Payers' League could render no better service for the taxpayers' than bond its efforts to improving our libel laws.? Spartanburg Journal. For Home Consumption. General Victor Blue of the U. S. Public Health Service, back in his native town of Marion, lias this to say to Editor Palmer W. Johnson of the Marion Star: "World trade can hardly be expanded further under present conditions and the people of the United States should adopt a program of production for home consumption." General Blua, speaks from the standpoint of a distinguished American who has traveled and studied extensively in foreign * countries. He states that since the World war about ten new nations have emerged in Europe and each one is grimly battling in the struggle for existence. Under such circumstances, this country should endeavor to do the same. Production for home consumption is a our..: doctrine, economically and loga iiy. applying to a state as well ? * h n i;,.oi.

A penalty of $5.00 is provided by law for non-payment. S. W. HOGUE, Treasurer Kershaw County General News Notes ti -? (Special Correspondence) .Washington, Dec. 27,-?It is increasingly evident that the South Carolina Legislature at it?- coining session is going to have a tremendously difficult problem on its hands in the way'of adjusting expenditures to income;, in reducing expenses and increasing revenues. It would seem that verx nearly every source upon which a. tax could be levied has been exhausted except a sales tax. A proposition t6 levy a Federal tax of that kind was rejected by Congress at the last session. The alluring feature about'a sales tax is that it is not so apparent to the man who pays, being indirect sot far us he is concerned. Dut it fall* heuvily upon the general ultimate consumer, and that is the man who needs relief most. The State of^Mississippi was, if possible, in a worse condition financially than South Carolina when a sales tax was adopted. It is said to be working satisfactorily, and bringing in more revenuo than calculated. An organization here to which most of the natives of the State belong is the South Carolina Society. Receptions and other functions are held at stated times. Senator E. D. Smith is president of the club. Aftor passing the House of Representatives by u considerable majority the bill legalizing tho manufacture and sale of bdfer awaita action ^ the Senate. The advocates of the measur? evidently endeavored to tlx the alcoholic content sufficiently low as to avoid substantiation of the charge of a violation of the eighteenth -amendment, and to fix the tax also i sufficiently Jow with a view of making it inexpedient for boot-leggers to sell at a profit, after taking risks involved. For the first time in American history there appears to be ground for considering the possibility or even the probability of the appointment.of a woman in the cabinet of" the president. Those most prominently^mgntioned are Miss Florence Perkins, State industrial commissioner of New York; Mrs. Nellie Tayloe Ross, former governor of Wyoming and vice chairman of tho Democratic National Committee, and Representative Ruth Bryan Owen of Florida, daughter of William Jennirffes Bryan. Mrs. Owen, although defeated for reelection, is an experienced and able politician, as is Mrsr-Ross also. Considerable interest and rivalry is being developed over the selection of a speaker of tho next Congress, when John N. Garner will become vicepresident. There are threo avowed candidates, each with strong support, as follows: Representative Raine>y, of Illinois, at present Democratic floor leader; Representative Byrns of Tennessee, chairman of the committee on appropriations, and Representative 'McDuflie of Alabama, Democratic whip. The main duty of the last mentioned is to keep in todch with the members of his party, and to secure their presence when a vote is to 'bo taken on any party measure. The following interesting article concerning Senator Byrnes appeared a few days ago in tho Washington Star, having been prepared by a special writer on the staff of that paper: '.'Quietly and without show, in the short space of a year, a newcomer to the Senate has forged ahead to such a place of prominence among the Democratic leadership 'on the Hill" that nearly everybody is watching him and speculating. He is James Francis Byrnes of South Carolina, the short, slender and very earnest man who gits in the seat formerly occupied by the colorful and picturesque "Coiey" Blease. While Byrnes is a newcomer to the Senate, he is not new in Congress, for he had served 14 years as a member of the Hoose. Senator Byrnes' feet were solidly on legislative ground before he began his Senate duties in December, 1931. A place was found for him immediately on the Appropriations Commit-1 tee, berau-e he had served on that! Committee as a member of the House, j W 1:en the sho-t session began p?? ittical observers began to notice that Byrnes was always around when im-' portant conferences on policy and procedure were being discussed by' the Democrats. They noticed that; when .Joe Robinson, tho Democratic leader, gave a conference to newspaper men he was there sitting alongside Robinson. They heard rumors that when the Democrats held their caucus early in the session, Byrnes I sat at tho head of the tabic with Robinson. They saw Gov. Roosevelt's adviser, : Prof. Moloy, seek him out when the President-elect's train stopped here t en route to Albany from Warm [ Springs and confer with him for a I long time. And they remembered that Byrnes himself had been to RooseI velt's Georgia retreat to confer with (the Governor. Some are inclined to believe that Robinson may rely on Byrnes heavily from now on; that, while he will re'TJ* ^ - * , .4 HMMMMiW | | ?-xHay and Grain School Januiary 12 A Hay ami <*rain School i# to be conducted at the court house v in Camden 1'JiuyiKlay, January 19,, with Mi-, s.

All farmers who are interested/ in improving the grade of hays ,and grains which they produce, cure, anji use or sell, and merchants who handle hays and grains, are urged to take advantage of, this opportunity, not only to learn how to' produce better quality hays and grains but also how to more accurately grade thom, which will 'bo of great valuo in both buying and selling. Many .people who do not know the relative values of The various hays and grains buy feeds of inferior quality and low nutriment contents when they could by knowing more about these products buy higher grades of feeds yvhich contain much higher feeding values. All classes of farmers in the county should be in terestea in this important matter, large.xand small fanners, both white and colored, landlords and tenants.

Much interest is being manifested in the rat eradication campaign which is to, J^e conducted in Kershaw county Saturday, January 21. In order to make this work as effective as possible, it is urged that everyone who can possibly do so, tiftco part in eradicating the rats on his place; otherwise the rats left on one farm will soon roinfest the premises of the neighbors who did eradicate. Everyone interested in securing bait for this occasion is requested to get in touch with the county agent at once, suggests .Henry I).

Clemson College, Dec. 2d.?Wjth Christmas and cold weather at hand and everybody with hog9 to butcher making preparations for this important farm job, some suggestions from J. R. Hawkins, extension livestock specialist, on the making of fresh pork specialties such as s&usage, head cheese, and scrapple, will be welcome. "An excellent sausage formula;" says Mr. Hawkins, "is three-fourths ounce of cayenne popper, one pound of salt, two ounces of black poppet, and two ounces of powdered sage 50 pounds of meat trimmings (from hams, shoulders, and bacon) about three-fourths tean and one-fourth fnjy Use care to keep out ail skin and gristle. If more sausage is wanted than can be provided from the trimmings, the meat from the top of the shoulder or Boston butt, or from the entire shoulder and from the loin may be used to make a very high quality of sausage. Mix the seasoning before sifting it over the mea,t and mix thoroughly to make certain it is evenly distributed. Grind through medium plate of the grinder and if a finely ground sausage is desired, regrind. This will make rather hot sausage, and the cayenne pepper may be reduced in amount or altogether omitted. The sage may be omitted also if its flavor is not liked. Too many condiments cover up the flavor of the meat. - "Besides animal casings, sausage may be stuffed in muslin sacks two inches wide and twelve inches long. If these are coated with melted paraffin, the sausage will keep beter than in ordinary casings. Sausage may be made into paddies, partly cooked in deep fat, packed in jars and covered with hot lard." To make good head cheese, and scrapple, Mr. Hawkins says: "Place the head and feet, well cleaned, and the tongue, thp heart, and the tail In a kettle, cover with water, and boil until the meat falls from the bones. If there seems to be too much fpt remove part -if it. pour off the liquid,) p:ck out the bones, and chop the meat j tr.to small p;evos. Return the liquid to ;he meat, season with salt and pepper, ami pour into pans to cool, and sohdify. "In making scrapple use the same kind of meat, and some lean beef if desired, and cook and chop as for! head cheese. Return The chopped bleat; with the liquid to the fire, season, and bring to a boil. Stir in a cup of wheat flour, enough com meal until a consistency of corn menl rnush is reached. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent burning, pour into shallow pans to cool and solidify. Slice and fry brown when serving." Moosenee, most northern town of Ontario.

THE^ BACHELOR GIRLS Palmetto Philosopher Writes About litem in His Private Paper Only in the South dooa the "old maid" exist any more, because the words are never used whore spinsters of uncertain age have become bachelor girls and aro held In as high regard as are bachelor men. But, taking things as they are, Robert Quillen, in that newspaper at Fountain Inn which ho publishes weekly for his own amusement and the entertainment of his friends, grows philosophical about then), and writes a piece for his paper thus: The Emancipation of women was worth while,, if only for* the change it made in "old maids." . Oldsters can remember when jffe unmarried woman of 30 was a creature to be shunned by every man wKft would preserve his respect for the sex. She was.too timidly conscious of being a female. She trembled on the point of flight if a man sat too ncai. She paled or flushed painfully if anyftify said "leg." cShe was prudish, prissy and precise and she was a pain in the neck. Or else she was hard and bitte.r. She hated the world and especially the male part that 'had passed her up. She envied everybody. She slandered everybody. Her only pleasure was the vicarious thrill she obtained by discussing in salacious detail the sins of other people. She was an intolerant, unforgiving, unmerciful gossip, soured on humanity. Freedom has changed all that. The spinster of 30 today is a sophisticated and tolerant woman of the world. She knows the married life of her friends and she neither envies nor covets it. ' She knows she is intellectually superior to most of her male acquaintances and she doesn't desire any one of them as a boss. Her proven ability to make a living has saved her from an inferiority complex. Hard experience has made her compassionate. Contact with the world has made her wise. Pity for less fortunate women has made her gentle.. She is that finest of all .mortal creatures?a good and kind and wise women. She understands.;/^.There is no false modesty about herr She takes sex for granted. She listens when men come to her with the story of their sorrows. She pities and forgives and all of her judgments are merciful. ra. There is no other like her except the white-haired -women made wise and tolerant by years of suffering and service. There are exceptions, of course. Freedom has made them tough and robbed them of faith and self-respect. But the exceptions serve to emphasize the rule, and the rule is a friendly, easy-going, comradely woman who causes one to wonder why some man hasn't long since dragged her to his lair. Welcome Gift.
