Death of Mrs. Julia V. Pate Mrs. Julia V. Pate died at her residence in the Antioch section of the county March 3, at 10:20 p. m. Mrs. Pate had been in declining health for a long period of time and was critically ill for three weeks prior to her death. She was the wife of L. T. Pate, born November 2, 1875. She is survived by her husband and the following children: W. T., E. S., L. T., Jt., M. L, all of Antioch, and F. L. Pate, of Sumter; Mrs. ?) D.

The first inaugural ball was held when James Madison entered the White House. The last one before that of Saturday hight was held in 1909, when Taft was inaugurated. Woodrow Wilson banned the inaugural ball in 1913. In 1917 the shadow of the World war ruled it out, and in 1921 financial and economic conditions were such that the Harding administration did not think it wise to stage such an affair. Representative Byrns of Tennessee, is to be the new Democratic floor leader of congress, succeeding to the position on the elevation of Henry T. Rainey to the speakership in succession to John Nance Garner, now the vice president. ? Columbians Present Play 'Little Women' There was a representative audience assembled in the auditorium of the Camden high school last Friday owning to witness a moat commendable performance of "Little Women,"| by players of the Columbia Stage Society. For the seasoned theatre-goer none expected to find a perfect or finished performance, but it must be said that Belford Forrest, the director, did wonders with a band of talented young thespians, who made th<T little comedy interesting at all times. In fact the audience liked the acting. It overlooked the professional finish and, in so doing, made the members of the cast more interesting for the future. Another thing that can be said, the players balanced nicely, no one standing out to any degree above the other. "Little Women" is more difficult^for amateur actors to perform than the casual theatre-goer can realize. It is not a fast-moving comedy, filled with situations that bring about hilarious laughter. Neither are the lines brilliant with sparkling wit. The comedy is quiet, similar to that of "Pomander Walk" and "The Passing of the Third Floor Hack." "Little Women" was staged somo 18 to 20 years ngo and it must be remembered that the art of play writing has undergone many changes. Unlike our melodramatic works, with plenty of swift action, the story is soon forgotten because of the fact that one must sit quiet and think, instead of being thrilled with unexpected situations. Plays that run as smoothly as a placid river must not be compared to grip an audience like a thundering mountain waterfall. It is really a pity that so excellent a dramatic organization as that in Columbia is forced to seek plays that have no royalty. Royalty has ruined many an excellent organization and certainly, in these days and times, when the stage has been practically deserted for the "movie," that authors -and publishers are not more lenient with young theatrical companies thus giving them a chance to exist in a healthy condition. After all, no matter how well a "movie" is staged, no matter how well it is written or acted, there is nothing that gives more satisfaction to the theatre-lover than the stage and its living exponents. Therefore, with such an excellent organization as Mr. and Mrs. Forrest have formed, trained and brought forth, it seems that everyone interested in art should patronize it. It is to be hoped that Mr. Forrest and his talented young | wife will be able to secure rights to some of our more modern comedies which would bring his young band of stage folk more in the light of modern times.

Governor Talks-To London Newspaper Washington, Mar. 6.?By way of transatlantic telephone, Governor Blackwood of South Carolina told London why South Carolina was among the last to have a state banking holiday. The governor issued a statement the other day on the sound condition of banks in his state and afterwards was called on the telephone from London to explain how his state was avoiding the moratorium. Relating the conversation with the L o nd o n newspaper correspondent, Blackwood said tonight he explained ' that as governor he had sought to follow a policy that would not be in-; jurious to the banks and therefore had refused to issue a proclamation. He likewise said if such action was taken it would be because of the strain put on banks in his state as a result of holidays elsewhere. A few hours after the conversation Governor Blackwood did proclaim a holiday beginning today and extending until next Monday. In the fifteen or twenty minute talk across the Atlantic, the governor said, the general financial situation was discussed, as well as unemployment and ~ whether President Roosevelt was to be a dictator. To the latter query Blackwood said he replied that Mr. Roosevelt had no thought of taking such a position and his plan to assume broad powers in the emergency was not looked upon in such a light. A Chicago fisherman fishing with a net in a canal, recently recovered ( bonds to a total of $9,700 and about two-third* of them hare been identified as belonging to Chicago real^ent* from whom they had been stolen. j.i i mi i ii?wag===?j-l'i-,iqil_-jggab?iwi Better Grow Feeds For Farm Livestock Clemson College, March 6,?Because of the high coat of getting grain from the surplus areas to the sections where there is a shortage and because of the probable low price of cash crops, South Carolina farmers will find it economical to a greater degree than usual to produce all feedstuff s needed for a livestock on the farm in 1933, according to livestock and economics specialists, j The feed* situation in the country as a whole for the 1932-33 season, these specialists say, is characterized by large supplies of feed grains, slightly below average supplies of hay, and low prices for feed crops. In South Carolina because of unfavorable weather the feed grain crops of 1932 were less than those of the year before and less than the average, but tho hay crop was larger. There is an indicated shortor supply of by-product feeds such as wheat ami cottonseed by-product?. The number of animal units to be fed, both in the United States and in South Carolina, will probably be a little larger in 1933 than during the past few years. This is duo to the increase in cattle and hogs' despite a slight decrease in. horses and mules. Explaining their advice to produce feeds at home, the specialists say that while feed costs are very low, freight rates and handling charges are still high, making feed costs in deficit producing areas disproportionately high as compared with surplus areas. For example, the December, 1929, average farm price of corn in South Carolina was 40 per cent higher than the average farm price in Iowa, but the 'December, 1932, price in South Carolina was 258 per cent higher than in Iowa. Ivegion Auxiliary Meeting The regular monthly meeting of American Legion Auxiliary was held in the Legion Hall Friday, March 3. The colors were advanced by Mrs. Sam Karesh and Mrs. Marvin Reasonover. The regular program of salutes to the 11 ag, Chaplains prayer, repeating the Preamble and singing of "America" was carried out. The treasurer reporyid XJl^Iaace in the bank of $67.<>8?this amount having been raised by fan advertising, bridge tournaments and a dance. The president gave a very interesting report of the spring rally held in Columbia on March 2, and presented to the unit a national citation won for unit activities. The membership chairman reported that our membership quota was being held back by failure of some of the junior members to pay dues. Miss Lulie Whitaker, chairman of the Junior Auxiliary, reported a meeting of the Junior organization in February and said that they presented a picture of George Washington to the Crescent school and also gave them some poppy seed. A report was read on the school bill, which is now before the legislature but a motion was carried that the Auxiliary take no action on this until after the Legion had, and then | follow their lead. It was moved and carried that the Auxiliary not sponsor an entertainment by the Wofford Glee Club. The colors were then retired and the business meeting adjourned. The Auxiliary was favored with a very interesting address on Abraham Lincoln and Jefferson Davis, given by Dr, C, F. Wimberly, of the Lyttleton Street Methodist church. Delicious punch and cake were served by Mrs. Sam Karesh and Mrs. Leon Schlosburg.?Mrs. Pamela Thomas, Secretary. Gates Hill Club Held Meeting The Gates Hill Home Demonstration Club held its regular meeting on Friday, March 3, at 3 o'clock, with thirteen members present. Miss Sadie Craig gave us a very interesting demonstration on making vegetables t attractive for our diets, and urged j the use of more vegetables in our j diets. She also urged the various 'chairmen of the club to prepare their ! reports for the president so she would be nble to give a complete report of all work done for the past year at our spring council meeting. During the social hour a contest was held which was very amusing to all. These meetings are always a pleasure for the farm women to attend and it is hoped that every woj man in our community will attend j our noxt-elub mooting. ?

' "i'..; 7^7 ;. . ,, f - * v 7T * 1932 Licenses Still In Force 1 Ben M. .Sawyer, chief highway commissioner, notified patrolmen of the lavy' enforcement division of the state highway department not to make any cases against South Carolina automobile owners for using their 1932 license plates until he had given fur- . ther notice. He explained to them that plans are "under way for a lawful and Anal disposition of the license extension question and that it appears likely that legislation will be enacted next week/' \, The statement to the motor vehicle division follows: "Under date of March 1, 1983, you received from m? a memorandum directing a statewide campaign of enforcement with respect to 1988 motor vehicle licenses to take effect March 7. March 2 the general assembly passed a concurrent resolution extending the time for the purchase of motor vehicle licenses until March 20. Kverybody except the public knows that a concurrent resolution is not a law but it is my earnest desire to show a -proper respect for the legislative will and certainly to make cases against a public which thinks that the time has been extended by law would be a technical and unfair enforcement. "Plans are under way for a lawful j and Anal disposition of the license < extension question and it appears ? likely that legislation.iWill be enacted this week. I "In view of the foregoing you will please authorize our officers and agents not to make any cases, until further notice." Mt. Pisgah Baptist Church There will be services at the Mt.
