The above reasons do not include every phase of the subject, however, they arc sufficient to show every one how and why they can render a real service at very Little cost. The movement is entirely worthwhile and it, is the profound duty of each person to support it in every way. PARTRIIXJ KS 1.1 UK MKN SOI Til Yankee Rich .Men Buying land In South Carolina for Preserves A little brown bird?sometimes called a quail, sometimes a partridge and which becomes fair game on Thanksgiving -is doing much to obliterate the Mason and Dixon line. Williamsburg county is a bird paradise for Northern sportsmen*, who journey South into crisp*' mornings awa\ from biting, whipping Winds to wade through endless miles of frosty broontsodgc behind shaggy setters and sleek pointers in quest of quail. The season operas on Thanksgiving Day and those beyond the "line" who do not own winter homes or hunting lodges in this section come down to visit those who do. In former years the hunters came but not in the hordes they have of late to make this area more than e\er a niecoa for their sport. There may be a drawling Southerner as a guide, dressed in overalls and heavy plow shoes with a stained and torn gunny sack slung over his shoulder. He may use a shotgun long become rusty but he enjoys the sport no less than tlx- "big shot" from the North "who hunts knee-booted with the* latest in clothes and shiny gun. \nd both get their bird-. Bernard M. Ibiruih, New Y.< k capitalist, has a winter home near (leorgetown but he comes to Williamsburg county to shoot quail on his preserve here. Baruch has brought many distinguished guests here including ticiieral Hugh S. .Johnson. N UA administrator. Then there, are the Pulitzers, Ralph and Herbert, former New York publishers. They have a winter home 10 miles from Kingstree, an old colonial hou-e that Ralph Pulitzer restored. Here many guests are entertained including Kent and Neysa McMoin, the artists. Howard S. Hadden, retired New York advertising magnate, owns another reclaimed colonial mansion near Kingstree' and among others owning or leasing preserves arc Kugene I >.ipor.t, of Wilmington. Dela.. < .

Phe third district has been very clo.se for about twenty years, alternating: between the two parties. In the J landslide last year the Democrats carried the district by about 7,000 votes, and by practically the same Ust week, thus indicating that there had been no swing away from the administration. The conditions wore ideal for a test, the Democratic candidate, Andrew Kdmiston, .Jr., appealing for votes ib a vindication of the Roosevelt policies. He was popular, a veteran of the World war with a fine record, and high in the councils of the party, lie was opposed by the strongest candidate that the Republicans could summon, Howard M. (lore, a former governor, w'ho had also been in the Coolidgo cabinet as Secretary of Agriculture. So far as one seat is concerned it would have made practically no difference to the Democrats, already with a huge majority in the House of Representatives, but had their candidate lost, or been elected by a close margin, undoubtedly the question would have been raised whether, after all, current national policies are satisfactory to the people. As it turned out, the result is exceedingly gratifying. * * * ? With the hunting season now on, the following timely notice lues made its appearance: "Don't shoot ('. (. C. workers for game. The Civilian ( onservatdpn Corps men are dear to their families, but' not deer for hunters. Hunters ure warned not to mistake moving objects, in the woods for game, when the objects may be C. C. C. Workers." ? The eighteenth amendment to the constitution of the United States has gone, and instead of one national problem, which the 1' edoral governi nft'iit was unable to cope with sucI cessfully, there are forty-eight small| er problems with which the respective 1 states must deal. There will be no I less responsibility in any quarter for i the' enforcement of law, but the situation will be different to meet new laws and conditions as the result of repeal. The efforts of Federal officials henceforth will be to prevent the manufacture and sale of intoxij cants without a Federal license and J to prevent the importation thereof j into territory dry by state enactment, 'in the stair's which are not dry there J will be the widest possible, range of i procedure concerning the handling and sale. ? ? * For \ hi i - t lu re ha - hern t a.k ot a national realignment of political parlies, with the West and South, each predominancy agricultural, ur.it! ed under a banner typitying their mutual interest,.-', against the moie conservative element-, whose ma:" ' Strength la - in the I'.ast. where, mnnufact lit nig. financial and commercial (interests more largely prevail. I he race question ha - been greatly instrumental in preventing a realignment in the South, where also the loaders have not lx*en disposed to agree fully with the more radical tendencies of Western statesmen. In 18UG the South heartily and enthusiastically supported William J. Bryan on a free silver platform, but the West failed to cooperate to an extent sufficient to elect him. Now the situation seems nearer to a culmination than ever before, with both sections in accord on currency expansion ns the principal I--UC, and with a Democratic president sympathetic in that direction, with a view of cheapening the dollar and raising commodity P: ; *e-.

ANNOI'NCEMENT As the public already knows, the 'Code authorities of the National Recovery Administration have fixed a new scale of prices for cleaning and prcs>ing clothes much in excels of the prices the Camden Dry (deanery ami City Laundry have been charging.

Alabama Negro Gets Third Death Verdict Decatur, Ala.', Dec. 1. -The third verdict of death today was returned against lleyward Patterson, 21-yearold negro, for an alleged attack on a white woman who was hoboing on a freight train. In a courtroom so quiet the sound ] of men breathing could bo heard, Walter Green, clerk of the court, read the verdict "we, the jury, And the; defendant guilty us charged, and Ax his punishment at death." The negro who twice before has heard identical words read in his case appeared unmoved. Ho was tried on an indictment charging an attack on a white woman aboard a Southern freight "train on March'25, 11*31, There was not the slightest sign of a demonstration and the spectators' who occupied every available seat waited untilHhe jury, which was clis^ charged by Judge W. VV. Callahan immediately, had Aled from the court room. The noise of shifting feet, coughs, and a low talk that made a medley of sounds had stoppedh instantly as the knock on the room adjoining the court, where the jury had been deliberating, sounded in the courtroom. Judge Callahan was preparing to swear in a jury, just struck for the trial of Clarence Norris, second of tho defendants to be called on charges of attacking the woman, a Huntsville mill worker, when the knock sounded at 5 p. hi., and it was ten minutes later before the jury, grave of face and slow of step, Aled Shot in Face While Treating Patients Currituck, N. C., Nov. .*>0,?Dr. S. M. Mann,'a physician, was shot and wounded in his oiTicc at Moyock, near here, early today while he was treating two negroes suffering from knife wounds. Dr. Mann was not seriously injured, but the entire left side of his face was peppered with birdshot. Dyewitnesses said they believed the charge of birdshot was meant for tho two negroes, Floyd Williams and James Leary, Whom Dr. Mann was treating. Six negroes charged with faking a part in the shooting, were lodged in the county jail here a short time later. Dr. Mann received the load of birdshot in his face when he went to the door of his office, partly covered by a drawn shade, to tell a * group of negroes not to enter the building. Painfully wounded, the doctor sewed up and dressed his patients wounds. Later, twenty-one small -hot were removed from his face. Card of Thanks The wife and children of the late 1). \V.
