A~SKNSK OF HUMOR If the good 'Lord in his wisdom did .not endow you with a sense of humor, then by all means take a few days off and try to cultivate this saving grace. And by a senatj of humor, vvo are not referring to the aptitude for retailing all the stories that pass current as funny^-nor the habit of ^ laughing loud and long over custard pies and their manipulation by movie clowns. What we have in mind i.-? that philosophical mood which looks out on the world in a broad way and views things as they are. An sense of humor means a sense of proportion; it means the ability to separate the essential from the nonessential?the important from thcf unimportant?the big from the little ?the sublime from the ridiculous. The affairs of the world are probably retarded and muddled to a greater extent because of a lack of ability to see thim?* as they are than by any other condition with which men must deal. The dull-witted person unable to get tho right perspective on the problem before him because ho has no sense of proportion usually draws wrong conclusions when he is forced by circumstance* to act quickly?he is forever calling out the full regiment to kill a bedbug, while weighty problems pass by him unnoticed. You have only to sit in on any concourse and listen To the longwinded discussions over minor problems to get the full force of what this means. Men without a semblance of humor draw long faces and predict dire results from the most' casual of happenings; under some conditions they can ever see the end of tho world. A sense of humor is a balance wheel. It not only aids a man in handling his everyday problems with promptness and dispatch, but it keeps him from taking himself and the world too seriously.?Selected. Mrs. H. T. Starnca Dead News was received in Camden on Monday of the death of Mrs. H. T. Starnes which occurred at her home at 3504 Grand Street, Colonial Heights, Columbia, at an early hour Monday morning. She was the former Miss Lottie Brown, of Camden, daughter of B. C. and Millie Brown. She was a graduate of the class of 1919 ofc the State Hospital at Columbia After her graduation she wait married to Mr. Starnes, who, with one sister, Mrs. J. R. Moseley> of Camden, survives. She is also survived by three nieces, Misses Fnye, Sarah and Martha Moseley. She was possessed of a lovable disposition and her 37 years of life were filled with kindness for those about her. She was a friend to those in need. We know no better words to describe her than by those of the old quotation "None knew thee but to love thee; none named thee but to praise." Funeral services were held in Columbia Wednesday afternoon. The body was brought to Camden for burial in the churchyard of her childhood church, Mt. Zion Baptist church, near Camden.?Contributed. f Real estate taxable values of the city of Philadelphia slumped $500,000,000 in the returns for 1933 and in consequence the city's borrowing capacity is at least $15,000,000 in "the red." Many city projects have been postponed. A resolution adopted by the Arkansas house of representatives memorializes President-elect Roosevelt to strike the name of former Governor Parnoll from his patronage list as the men who headed the "most corrupt administration since the days of : ivonst met ion."

Capital Observations (Special Correspondence) Washington, Feb7~28.-~Ksti mates j run as high as 5560,000 visitors for the inauguration on Saturday. Probably there will not be that m*ny' and there will be at least standing room for a good many more thousands than do come here. Nearly all will leave within one and two days after arrival. There are twenty-four rural routes emanating from post offices in Kershaw county one or more starting from each office except Kilgo and Liberty Hill. The following summary of the number of routes and the total number of boxes on all of hem at each office: Bethune, three routes, :M8 boxes; Blaney, two routes, 21(5 boxes; Boykin, one route, 12 boxes; Camden, five routes, 721 boxes; Cassatt, two routes, 2ol boxes; Kershaw, six routes, (>0~ boxes; Lugoff, two routes, 202 boxes; Stuneboro, one route, 50 boxes; WestviHe, two routes, 102 boxes. Rural carriers are civil service employes, retaining their positions indefinitely, and are subject to being displaced only for cause or in tho case of the discontinuance or consolidation o routes. Carriers are paid in accordance with the length of the routes they serve. In the early days of rural delivery the compensation was exceedingly small, and frequently, almost generally, roads were bad or nearly impassable. With better roads and the coming of the automobile carriers are faring better. Routes are not restricted to the main highways, and there are stretches of unimproved connecting roads that make traveling slow and difficult. All of the twenty amendments to the constitution of the United States which have heretofore been adopted were passed"upon by the legislatures of the various states. In proposing the repeal of the eighteenth or prohibition amendment Congress provided, as it had the privilege to do, that conventions be held in the states for the consideration of tho case. This procedure was called for in the national platforms of both the Republican and Democratic parties last year, as it has become the generally accepted view that members of a convention elected for the sole purpose would more accurately reflect the wishes of the electorate than legislators who might be complicated with other questions not related to prohibition. There is no precedent for 'conventions and among high constitutiona!lawyers a difference of opinion exists as to whether provision for holding them should be made by national or state authorities. A bill | has been introduced in Congress, but | not acted upon, providing and arI ranging for conventions, but many Estates have started proceedings upon I the theory that it is solely a state function, or at least without waiting | for any further federal authori/.aI tion. j The Democratic members elected to j the seventy-third Congress will meet 'this week to nominate a speaker of the house of representatives, that body's highest office and generally regarded as the second most powerful position under our government. The nomination will be equivalent to election, as the party will have a huge majority in the next house. The decision is desirable so as to be ready for the special session, and so that the new president may know with whom to discuss legislative propositions. Representatives Henry T. Rainey, now majority floor leader, seems to have the strongest following and claims a clear majority of the members-elect, but there arc several other candidates, some however with but little strength. If sectional lines are drawn it will revert to the advantage of Rainey. who hails from Illinois, for contrary to conditions in the past, considerably more than half of the new members are from other thajji Southern states. There is general surprise and considerable disappointment over the ; r-onnel of the Roosevelt cabinet, as I ;i had been expected that it would i probably o.mpo-ed of the ! ah;, -r :r.< r. i". th?- party. N-ne ot" the n,. d;?:i f-r the presidency. t x. Davis nor Smith, are included, and a large l umber ot distinguished j Democrat* of national reputation, ; -aeh a< Newton D. Baker. Bernard M ! Baru. h. Owen D Young. Albert C Mi'.tehie and many others are passed 1 by. It is understood though that 'there wei;e. several declinations, but j it is not divulged that any strenuous ! efforts were made to secure their ser'Jvices. The general conclusion reach ; ed is that the selections were fron i among those who most strongly sup ? ported Roosevelt and who will reflee : his views or yield most readily to hi: f! leadership. There will he able mei " ' in the cabinet, but the average wil : rot bo up to the high standard ex i peeled. Owing to the fact that the Repub ' licans have control of the executive 1 branch of the government and are ,i j part control of Congress, that bod; Recent Arrivals of Winter Visitors \ J. W.

It is believed that perhaps 15.000 aliens have t gotten into this country in nine year? j in this way. Many of the a!.ens wore ^ of Polish and Russian extraction. * will likely leave unfinished some oesired and needed legislation upon go~,irg out of office on March fourth p This may necessitate the calling ol ^ the extra session earlier than conV templated. i ' Local Inspector Ready to Help Regulations for 1033 governing crop production loans have been issued by the Secretary of Agriculture and are now available to farmers in this county upon request to R. G. Carson, field inspector of the crop production loan office. Mr. Carson's office is in the court house. * Instead of writing to Washington or to one of the regional loan offices, Mr. Carson announced, farmers can obtain the necessary application blanks for loans, -and detailed information about the requirements, diroct from him. -Applications will then bo reviewed by the county advisory committee, then certified and forwarded to the regional office at Washington for final approval and action. ' The regulations this year specify that only those who cannot get loans elsewhere are eligible for loans from the $90,000,000 fund authorized by congress. I/oans can be used only for crop production, and require the borrower to reduce his acreage of cush crops 30 per cent under last year, unless he does not intend to plant more than 8 acres of cotton, 2 1-2 acres of tobacco, 8 acres of peai nuts, 20 acres of corn, 12 acres of | sugar beets, 2 1-2 acres of truck | crops,-8 acres of potatoes, 30 acres ! of rice, or 40 acres of wheat. The maximum permitted to any one borrower this year is $300; or, in the case of tenants, the total of all loans to tenants of any one landlord within a single county cannot exceed $1200. The actual amount advanced by the authorities will depend upon the borrower's requirements. A first lien or mortgage on the crop will bo required. The regulations require that loans be repaid on qr before October 31, 1933. Interest at 5 1-2 per cent, deducted in advance will bo charged. Since the loans call for a first lien on the crop as security, the borrower frequently has to procure waivers from prior mortgages or rights.: If the applicant is a tenant, or is farming land under contract for deed or so-called crop contract, or has given a prior mortgage on his 1933 crops the regulations state he must secure the waivers of the actual owners of the land, and or all prior mortgage holders. If the applicant is the owner of the land and farms it with tenants or share croppers, waivers of such tenants or share croppers must be secured. The regulations further specify that the person waiving his prior rights must agree not to dispose of his rent note, mortgage, or other security without first having obtifined the written consent of a duly authorized agent of the Secretary of Agriculture. | The regulations make it' unlawful ! for any person to dispose of or assist in disposing of any crops given as seI curity for any crop loan, except for I the account of the secretary of Agriculture and provide for fine and imprisonment for violation of such regulation. The regulations also require that each borrower agree to plant a garden for his home use and sufficient acreage to furnish feed for his livestock. Many states are already setting up their election machinery to pass on the question of repeal- of the 18th amendment. The ratification matter will be by conventions in each state instead of by legislatures as heretofore in passing on constitutional amendments. A Goldsboro, N. C., man shot a hawk flying near his home and found a steel trap attached to one of its feet. Notice of Assignment of Homestead Notice is hereby given to all creditors of W. J.
