A1 Smith Breaks With Roosevelt ; New York, Nov. 21.-, Alfred K. ,; nvith broke openly today with President kooseveh's monetary program, dec Earing he was for sound money and a return to the gold standard. , 1 am for gold dollars as against 'oloney dollars/' said the former governor in an editorial to be published l\X the December issue of the New t hit look,. 1 am lor experience as against experiment. If 1 must choose between private management of business and management ol' a government bureaucracy, I am for .private management. l! 1 must choose between the leaders of t he past, with'till the errors they have made and with all the selfishness they have been guilty of, and the inexperienced young college professors who hold no responsible public office but are perfectly ready to turn 130,000,000 Americans into guinea pigs for experimentation, 1 rtjjt going to be for the people who have made the country what it is, "And 1 say this with full knowledge of the fact that there are many things in tho old order of society which I should like to have changed and which I dp not applaud or even condone." Portions of Smith's editorial were made public at the office of the New Ontl'dok. The former govornor, who recently was a guest at tea at tho White House, was not present. The appearance of the statement created a sensation in New York, with afternoon papers displaying it under large headlines. Smith was not in his office, and attendants there declined to say. where ho Cbuld be located. The statement expressed Smith's personal disbelief that "tho Democratic party Is fated to he always the party of groonbackers, paper tynoney printers, free silverites, currency managers, rubber dollar manufacturers and crackpots." "If so, the issue is more than {i partisan one," Smith continue^, "because we are dealing today with the party which actually holds responsible government office, which is not merely advocating sure-alls in a campaign but which has in its hands the present.welfare of 130,000,000 people and the future of pur most cherished American institutions. "I am too old now to be regular just for the sake of regularity. "What we need in this country is absolute dependability in our money standards. It is the only thing which will restore confidence. The latest fiscal moves of the administration have undermined public confidence. They have created uncertainty. "Uncertainty paralyzes business, discourages private imitative, drives money into hiding and places the entire burden of sustaining the population on the central government. "We are told that there is a new theory of government abroad. It is the theory that the executives are quarter backs on a football team who do not know a minute in advance what signal they will call next. They determine the plays on' the basis of 'hunches.' "Of course, this is just another name for opportunism. There is nothing new in it. It never pulled a great modern industrial nation out of a depression." Child Seriously Burned While engaged in making doll clothes Saturday with little friends at their home before a nice warm fire, little Carolyn McCutcheon, 10year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs M. B. McCutcheon of South Church street, was most seriously burned It was supposed a spark popped oul igniting the clothing and made such headway the child couldn't put th< fire out herself. She ran screaming to the kitchen, where the cook grab bed a pan of dish water and put oul the enveloping flames. Carolyn'.' clothing was practically all burnec off, her back and right arm tx-in* severely blistered. Her hair was singed in the back but the scalp \va: uninjured. Mercifully the llame: didn't touch-her face. .Sho-+s resting ^^comfortably as could he expected fi(Chop\ ilie Messenger, \ NVville Bennett, of the state budget commission, says requests fo appropriations made to it amount ti $2,000,000 more than the appropria tions at the last session of the legis lature, being- over $9,000,000 against $7,000,000 appropriated for this fiscal year and over $9,000,000 expended in 1932. The requests include a ?$10 a month raise for teachers whose salaries were fixed at $00 a manth from the state at the last session. The abolition of the four-mill tax levy last spring accounts for most of the raise this year in money needed. Up in Maine, where they hunt foxes with shot guns, there have been eleven hunters killed so far this season. Frederick Schott, 28, of Lewistor, Is the latest victim of that method of fox hunting. . ^ 4-H Club Work Is To Be Increased In making out the annual plan of work for the extension Service program in Kershaw county for H)84, -the county agent has given a big place in the program to 4-11 boys' club work. The importance placed on club work for the coming year was influenced ' largely by the out standing results obtained for Kershaw county's development in the past four years by these progressive young farmers and also by the continued interest on the part of the farm boys ami their parents who have made many calls on the county ugenC for not only continuance of this work but its further development, Due to the many increased demands on tho county agent" in new fields of service for the farm people of the county it is felt wise to put 4-11 activities for the coming year on a slightly different basis than heretofore with tho exception that greater service may bo rendered and greater success accomplished for the club members and tho county's development in general. Threo of the most outstanding accomplishments which have been ^'edited by the public of the county to a large extent to 4-H club boys during the past four years are4 Filling the ctAinty with a good quality of hogs which has now reached the point of practically supplying the county's pork needs and also enabling a number of club boys and farmers to sell some of their surplus hogs to advantage and at a profit; 4-11 club boys of Kershaw county have played a very important part in cattsiqg Kershaw county to rise to the point in forestry of now being the premier forestry counjty 6f tho Southeastern states. Itv> should not be forgotten that 2 years ago 4-H "club boys planted 204,000 trees in their demonstration plots. This was the greatest number of trees planted by club boys of any county in tho entire United States. 4-H. club boys deserve a very large share of the credit for the great forestry accomplishments of Kershaw county to date. 4-H club boys have contributed more probably to the countj^s farming development by bringing in their development of better farm seeds, especially with respect to corn. They have also beeff among the leaders in planting legume cover4 crops such as Austrian peas, vetch, crotalaria and soybeans, c'' While of course it is not claimed that 4-H club boys have done all of the good work with respect to ihe above development, but when it is remembered that it was through 4-H club boys that over 200 extra fine registered pure bred gilt pigs were brought into' the county with 53 of these placed in the hands of progressive club boys in a single day, it is easy to see how they have contributed very largely to this one phase of the county's development. Four years ago there was a great shortage of. hogs and meat in the county. It was hard for a persoq to evenljuy a pair of pigs. Today, how. ever, the county is pretty well suf> plied with hogs and meat and it is through such accomplishments as / these that we believe the people of ( the county at large have come to re. cognize the true value of 4-H club work. Under the new arrangement which is made necessary by directly increased demands for the county I agent's time, it becomes necessary ( that 4-H club work be organized on ( a somewhat, different basis than heretofore. Six new community 4-H olubs are now contemplated and all ' other farm boys in the county who are interested in becoming 4-H club members are requested to notify the ' county agent at once and they will k be placed on the county-wide club roll. ) As many meetings and personal visits will be held as possible, but a great deal of the work will be dono by " correspondence, the county agent j furnishing necessary envelopes. Also r bulletins and up-to-date information ' I will be furnished each club member j on each project as the need arises. ^ | Those who are interested in becomI ing members are requested to notify the county agent at once. Complete information w|J1 then be furnished a new member, advises Henry I).

Bandits Rob Truck With Machine Guns The combined forces of the federal government, stato, county and city joined hands last night in attempting to solve the daring mail truck robbery yesterday morning near the intersection of Third and Graham streets in Charlotte by bandits armed with sub-machine guns. Postal officials were making every effort to check the contents of several sacks of registered mail and a registered pouch taken by two of the robbers while two others trained machine guns~?on Tink Honeycutt, driver of a truck of the local post office, and G. F. Koontz, of Lexington, railway mail clerk, in charge of the mail. C? ' t The robbery was staged with perfect precision after an automobile was driven from an alley into the street and blocked the truck!a path. After taking the sacks, the bandits escaped in another automobile. The car left at the scene was s to left from Rock Hill, S. C., November S. Police believed the robbers escaped in a stolen automobile. 0 Last night department of justice agents, secret service agents, postal officials, state, county and city police were following every clue in the almost clueless case. J. B. Earle, fingerprint expert with the city police department, obtained eight fingerprints from the abandoned automobile. They were enlarged to bo compared with the prints of any persons suspected. News of the robbery was relayed to cities in Georgia, South Carolina and Tennessee by Detective Chief Frank N. Littlejohn, with the request that all roads be guarded. The four robbers escaped in a black Plymouth sedan or coa^h, he said. . The robllery was executed so quickly and quietly that eye witnesses did not realize what was taking place until the robbers were speeding away. While two of the bandits covered the truck with the sub-machine guns, two others tore the lock from the' back door of the truck, seized sacks of mail, jumped into the automobile and sped away.' Immediately after the departure of the robbers, police itrived. Roads leading from the city were immediately watched, while calls were made to neighboring cities to assist in the search. Judge W. ?H. Townsend took sick vftt Gaffney on the eve of the opening of the court term there last week, and T. C. Graydon, of Columbia, was appointed a special judge to hold the court. Judge Townsend went home to Columbia, ns soon as he was able to travel, seriously, but not dangerously ill. .Forest fires in the mountain timberlands of western North Carolina raged for u week along a five county front doing damage estimated at $800,000 until partially quenched by rain Tuesday night. Sheriff Tate, of Orangeburg, is under charge of "failing to safely keep" liquor jn his possession. The sheriff had 125 gallons of seized liquors in his charge, and it is charged tho liqUor was removed and tho samo amount of water substituted. SPECIAL TAX NOTICE An A<?t was passed at last session of Legislature allowing taxpayers in this county ten (10) years to pay their 1082 and hack taxes in instalments of one-ftsnth each year provided they pay current year's taxes each year before books close March 15 of each yeqr. This applies to real estate and personal property only when listed with real estate... Personal property taxes are in Hands of Sheriff for collection as heretofore. ,0. Yours respectfully, S. W.
