JUDGE OXNER
Ho nth Carolina should be JiiHtly
proud of itH Judiciary. Not since < ur
pet-bag days has there been a hiut of
wrongdoing on the part of those who
have worn the ermine in thin atule,
and it has been yearn since titere iiua
been u thought that any member of
the stale's Judlciai system baa been
moved by any influence other than
(lie desire to ufford equal Justice.
One of the finest examples that we
huve been fortunate in tiie selection
of our Judges is Hon. U. Dewey ()xner,
of Greenville, who hold the
courts here for his first time this
full. Judge Oxner very soon convinced
us that tie was an able ami impartial
presiding Judge. lie wus at
all times master of his court. There
was no foolishness. The usual bickerlug
among lawyers was reduced to a
minimum. His rulings disclosed u
profound knowledge of the law and
his ' sentences, while tempered with
mercy, were such us to afford Just
punishment to the lawbreakers and to
deter otiters who might he Inclined
to break the law.
Judge Oxner is yet a young man.
Wo had heard many lino tilings said
of him before he came here. We call*)
now Join wholeheartedly in the encomiums,
and we predict for him,
that which we are satisfied he richly
deserves?a rapid rise to greater
honors.
THE BANKHEAD LAW
The fanners who ure opposing the
Iiankhead law may take such consolation
us they can from lite fuct that
they ure traveling in big company.
The big cotton fuctors on Wall Street
and tiie large money interests in New
York and the Kast are wholeheartedly
against the law ami want to see It
scrapped.
TWO DRIVE8 NOW ON

"DEATH AFTER DARK"
"Of 3G.000 motor fatalities laat year,
20,000 occurred ut night," writea Gov
ernor Harold O. Hoffman.of New Jera
ey, lu an article In Liberty entitled
"Death After Durk."
"The total economic waate of night
time automobile uccldenta la eatlniat
e<l at nearly one and a half billion
dollars.
"Sixty-nine per cent of thbae killed
are pedestrians.
"Aa a nation, wo have failed to
grasp the fact that uh the sun goea
down, mo must our apeed. We are
sthjply driving too faat for our eyes."
Night driving, Governor Hoffman
points out, involvea three definite factors,
each of which contributes to the
hazard: First, Overdriving our headlights;
Second, Slow perception due
to poor illumination; Third, The night
pedestrian hazard. The first factor
ia probably the moat important, inasmuch
as it affects the other two. Governor
Hoffman says that the average
man is fortunate if,he can see 100 feet
clearly with his headlamps. That is
less than the distance required to stop
from a speed of 35 miles per hour,
on good pavement with first-class
tires and brakes. If tlie night driver
Is traveling 00. not an uncommon
speed on our highways toduy, that

Thousands of us are driving 50 and
00 mUgh an hour in cars equipped
with 30-niile headlights. One solution
td that is better illumination for
streets and highways?irrefutable figures,
based on extensive tests, show
that the saving in economic waste,
t<? say nothing of the human waste,
pays the cost of good lighting many
times over. But it will be a long time
before the average highway is lighted
at all?and in the meantime, the
only solution is to drive, moderately

State Potato Men
- Like Allotments
Columbia, Nov. 1$ *?Allotments to
Houfh Carolina under the AAA Irish
potato adjustment rulings total 1,999,000
bushels which tnuy be marketed
tax-free, which is sufficient to take
caro of intended acreages, says George
K. Prince, chief of the Kxtenslou Hervice
division of market's. *
Houth Carolina growers have decreased
the commercial acreage considerably
during tile past few years,
Mr. Prince said. The acreage In 1928
totaled 23,600 aires and dropped to
7,600 acres in 1933. Last year the
acreage totaled 8,600 and intention to
plant reports of October indicated
that our commercial growers were
planning an acreage of 8,000 for 1930.
No accurate records ure available on
acreage planted for nearby markets
but there ure probubly some 2,600
growers in South Carolina thut will
be Included in this group.
The AAA program will apply only
to potatoes which are grown for sale,
and will not affect growers who produce
them for home use. It will be
necessary, however, for'all growers
selling potatoes in any quantity to
muke application.
Application forms will probably be;
available by early December. Indl-j
vidual allotments will be fixed thru
county committees, stated Mr. Prince.
The AAA officials have announced
1 tlmt 96 per cent of each state's allotment
will be given to farms upon
which potatoes have been grown during
one or more years between 1932
and 1934, with the remainder going
to growers who did not produce potatoes
during those three years. A tax
of three-fourths cent per pound on all
potatoes marketed by any grower
above his quota must be paid.

Many Millions In

Rewind for a year's careful saving
will come to seven million citizens
in tiie next two weeks, when $312,000,

be distributed by banks to club inoim.
bers. This means an estimated Christmas
check of |44.70 to each member,
a trifle less than the average for last
year, says a writer in "Jiuaineas
Week."
Total amount to be distributed also
is less than the $370,000,000 saved
up during 1934?a fact which is explained
according to Herbert F. Rawll,
founder and president of Christmas
Club (a corporation), by the fact that
some bunking institutions, because of
low money rates, did not offer the
Christmas Club service.
As in other years, the close of the
25th Christmas, Club campaign finds
New York leading in totals, with
about $79,000,000 to disburse;

At Spartanburg a large number of
checks stolen belonged to the FERA,
and the others in other places were
payable to various corporations. He
