Shipping Handbook at Public Library Those interested in maritime matters will be pleased to learn that the public library has acquired a copy of "The American Merchant Marine," a shipping handbook just issued by the leading American shipping associations in cooperation with the United States Shipping Hoard. The American Merchant Marine has made encouraging strides during the past live years and it is fitting that those gains be summed up at this time. The present volume just off* the press is a comprehensive , reference work on the status of ocean transport and foreign trade. Various phases of shipping and commerce are covered, including ship construction and operation, ocean routes, nufrine insurance, safety and the relation of ships to national defense. The book is divide^ into 10 major sections, each introduced with a foreword from an authority in that specific field. There are also many illustrations, various charts and diagrams and a table of quotations indicating the ^opinion of' eminent Americans on the necessity for an adequate commercial fleet. During the last two weeks in November 7,0 motorists were convicted of driving while drunk in this state and punished by light fines and the inconvenience of having their wives or sons drive for them for 60 days. This breaks the record for number and is in the fortnight preceding the abolition of the prohibition amend! ment. The 70 reside in 43 towns in this state and seven outlarider places. Soven live in Greenville and two in Gaffney. Two were women. York, Union, Anderson and Orangeburg counties had one e.ach. Earle Proctor, a 17-year-old boy of. Greenwood, died from wood alcohol in the hootch he drank, and another boy who drank so,me of the same bootleg stuff was made ill.

' . 'Capital Observations (Special Correspondence) Washington, i). C., Doe. 12.- -An important body is the Commission of Fine ArU, created by congress, with its duties enlarged by executive orders to advise upon the selection and location of statues, fountains and monuments in the District of Columbia. It consists of seven members, appointed by the President to serve for four years each, and is consulted regarding the plans and designs tor public structures and ' parks. The Commission also has a controlling voice in the plans and proposals for the erection of private residential br commercial edifice^ facing or adjacent to government property, and has done much tending to beautify the city in the way of preventing the election of unsightly buildings. . e * * In addition to two blind senators, there is in the present congress a member of the house of representatives who is deprived of his sight, Matthew A. Dunn, of Pittsburgh, Pa. His is a typical case of a self-lhKde man, arising from a newsboy to become the proprietor of a news stand, and thence on inftTvpolitics and into congress. Outbursts a .short while ago in high quarters against the administration'fc farm program and money policy and against the NRA appear to have subsided rather suddenly. The reason is not difficult to discern. The favorable trend of elections during the past month has had its influence, and reports from all sources indicate that the general public has not been impressed by the outcry. The prevailing popular opinion is that more time should be allowed for the development of plans and policies. * * * m * A passing instance gives evidence that the financial and investing public is not frightened by the^talk of uncontrolled inflation. To meet obligations falling due on the v%>th instant, averaging a higher rate of interest, the treasury sought to borrow nearly a billion dollars for one year at two and one-quarter per cent. The offer was oversubscribed three to one, and the new securities will save the government about $0,000,000 in interest. ; . : * * * * Congress will meet in regular session in three weeks time, and business will be transacted in a quiet and expeditious manner, in the opinion of Speaker Ilcnry T. Rainey, of the house of representatives, who from his point of vantage is best qualified to size up the situation. He notes that the people in general are becoming more and more optimistic, and in substantiation of his conclusions he has the following to say: "Representatives from Southern states report that people in the south are pretty well satisfied with the ad* ministration's cotton and tobacco programs. Report from Middle West show that people are not quite so happy, but that they have a more hopeful spirit. The corn-Jhog program will be more effective by the time congress cohvenes and that undoubtedly will ease the complaints. Meanwhile, wheat money is reaching the grain growing sections. "The President's recovery program is working. It will not he seriously opposed qn the Democratic side. It will be supported by nearly all the Democrats in congress and, I believe, by quite a number of Republicans. Opponents have absolutely nothing to offer except a return to the conditions of last March, and this is utterly unthinkable. Every member of congress will try to keep his record clear, in view . of the approaching elections. There is only one way to keep a congressional record clear and that is to support the President's program, unless, of course, one can offer something better, which is not at all likely. The recent economic recovery of the tobacco states shows what will happen when all the codes are operating. The problem of unemployment is rapidly being taken care of. Legislation of last spring's emergency session covers all contingencies, and it is not at all probable that any of it will be repealed or seriously modified." 7~ Olin D. Johnson, candidate for governor of South Carolina, appears to be forging prominently ahead with the advocacy xn his main contention that he is "agin" the state highway commission. He is likely to leave the others in. the distance unless something is done to head him off, or unless some other contender presents some more popular feature. He struck a responsive chord in a recent address in expressing his belief that the schools could be better supported by the state government, and that a plan could be worked out for bettor pay for the teachers. He is of the opinion that a part of the revenues received from the tax on gasoline might well be diverted to the use of the schools, instead of all of it going to the highways, since the state is now pretty well covered with good roads. Of course there are two sides to every question, but he contends that it is not proper for the state to spend $3,600,000 for schools, and approximately $38,000,000 in a year Kor highways, as was done in one ear. ? In the state of Virginia there arc one hundred counties, and consideration is being given feebly to the proposition to consolidate a number ol them so as to leave only about onehalf the present number. It is nol likely that the movement will get anj where, nor would anything similai approach success in South Carolina although it might prove to be a liv< issue. There arc forty-six eountiei now, and of course there would bo t great saving in the expense of coun ty government if the number couh be materially reduced. In these day: with good roads, rapid motor travel and extensive telephone lines then is Utile*delay in getting in touch witl the county seat, and such a larg< number of counties is useless. There are two main obstacles in the way of the reduction of the number?jobholders or. prospective officers, and? local pride. The motive of the former is apparent, and the residents of counties after the same are established do not care to lose their identity. A peculiar fact in the state is that in tho upper part, thickly populated, there has been little or no agitation for new counties, York, Greenville, Spartanburg, Anderson and others, large and populous, have remained intact for a long number of years. In the low country with fewer people, several new counties have been created in late years. There is little justification now for the existence in county form of such as Jasper,, Dorchester, Allendale or McCormick. fc The resignation of Fred Wannamaker,^assistant collector of Internal revenue at Columbia, has been accepted, and Edward* D. Buckley has been appointed to the place by Collector Robert M. Cooper, who Was given the resignation the 'day he took office on July 11. Buckley is 41 years old and has been chief of the field division in the internal reVepue bureau at Washington. ^^reeconomy rules' ForAnOldTime|3Sf|f Christmas Feascl FANCY Freshly Dressed TURKEYS 23c ALL, A?P 'STORKS Wll.l.
