MAKE IT A HAPPY NEW YEAR Among tin- things which distinguished the year I93'? was the tremendous and unprecedented Interest manifested in the truffle safety problem. This uwakening to the gravity of the accident evil seized the nation with considerable force during the second half of the year. It has yet scarcely gone beyond the point of rubbing the eyes, but the country seems to be ready for u cold shower of fao ing the fuels, and then to gird for concerted action. As Iiuh been consistently maintained, the real hope for achieving automobile safety resides in aroused public opinion. One way to help end the automobile accident carnage Is for each Individual to make a sincere New Year's resolution concerning his conduct as a motorist or pedestrian. The resolution might be based on six principles offered by the National Bureau of Casualty and Surety Underwriters: 1. Courtesy?to drive and to walk wiihYonstderutiou for others In mind. '2. Cure?to drive and walk with the euro that means safety for all. I',. Knowledge?to learn utul understand thoroughly the traffic laws and rules of the state and community In which we drive and walk. 1 Skill to improve our mustery of the skills which make the good driver ft. Sense ?to use common sense in the many situations encountered when driving and walking, that uie not covered by laws or copybook maxims. ti. Cooperation?to cooperate, as individual .driver or pedestrian, with the organized efforts to make driving and walking everywhere safe. Such a resolution rigidly adhered to for a whole year by many persons would product- such salutary benefits, and those benefits would be so apparent, that there would be no question of the resolutions being renewed for more Happy New Years. /THE OUTLOOK FOR THE NEW YEAR There seems to be a difference of opinion ubout present conditions and prospects. Pick up a republican or anti-Roosevelt democratic newspaper we see that this country has already gone to the "domnltion bow-wows." On the other hand, in regular and many trade journals, we find that business is far better than a year ago. Probably the real truth Is that the pendulum has not swung far in either direct ion. So far as the South is concerned our opinion is tiiM'thls is the case. Our main cash crop, in proportion to acreage, has. for some years, been good Taking Into consideration the high priees for what we buy. the price of cotton has not kept pace. Another disturbing factor is that the Baukheud law Is now in the hands of the United States Supreme Court, and liable to be annulled. Should this be the result, there is again a radical difference of opinion. It' allowed to stand, many loose bolts should be tightened. It would seem that, with existing world conditions, wide open cotton planting, like wide open liquor, and wide open crime. Is exceedingly risky. It is easy to talk about making cotton at f> and 6 cents a pound. There was a time when It could be done, but that was under a different age If tried, it will not put half as many of the unemployed to work as wo imagine. The main trouble with present conditions and prospects, as we ksh it. is that no new and encouraging industrial enterprises are in sight to put the surplus population to work. Practically every movement in th*L direction is only temporizing, and ex pensive. Very little of it. brings in anything but for M limited lime' It is to be hoped that this is irfl bunk and e.xaxgoration. The slgi?*, how ever* point strongly to the fact that the future is not rosy, anil that a most .careful economy will not be amiss. Better drive the old flivver a little lopgor until*we see what Is In store during the year 1936.?Calhoun Times. ? iiw mr H . ? * ,?.iaiwi...wiii ii iinwMi LIQUOR AND YOUNG FOLK8 On the front page of the News and Press lust Friday, were two atorJea which had to do with liquor. One story stated that 2?> persons were called to appear before Judge Mauney Moyday morning to answer to charges of infraction of the prohibition Iuwm, while the other atory told of the efforta of the atute achool offlclala to comply with the law puuaed by the laat leglalature regarding the luatruclion of children ua to the dangera o I alcoiiol ami nuryetJfW. The ft rat atory would Indicate that action deacrlbed In the aecond atory la belug taken WHMt to^ early, for if the officers managed to arreat 20 peraona who had broken the liquor lawa, it la u certain fact that there were many more who did not come within the rcaclhof the law. It might be pertinent to point out that weta have long argued that if liquor Helling la made legal, it would reduce drunkenness, for the reaaon that folks tgjio have been drinking liquor during the prohibition ycura will quit drinking ua aoon as they find that It Ih eaay to get. Such urgumentH will not hold, for court statistics from the counties In the atute where liquor Ih legally Hold now Indicates that drunkenneaa hus increased in aome inatancea aa much aa 300 per cent. Certainly with liquor being Hold In certain countiea Iti thla Htate uh well aa In every county in two neighboring atatea, It la more plentiful here and Ih much easier to got. Our court recorda would not Indicate that anyone haa quit since the atuff la more easily secured. While we believe that the legislature passed the law regarding Instruction on the dangers of alcohol simply to ease Its conscience for giving certian counties the right to sell liquor, the luw really should be a big help in rearing children who will refrain from drinking after they reach manhood and womanhood. And anything that will do thlH should not only.be encouaged but should be stressed by parents and teachers. We may as well fuce the facts. The removal from the constitution of the eighteenth amendment brings back a problem thut has sent thousands of men and women to the grave, lias wrecked homes, and deprived children and women of their heritage. There is no need of sitting idly by and letting the habit get a stronghold on our people. We must teach our children that liquor is dangerous and must instill in them a hatred for strong drink. And those who have the habit already should be handled by the courts in such a way as to help them break the habit. Wets, before repeal, suggested that the jail and the chaingang would cure many of them. Perhaps it would not be a bad idea to try their plan, although there is no question but that It will not work in many cases. -? Albemarle, (N. C.) News and Press.

Dispatches of Thursday from Addis Ababa say that an Italian force of 43,000 or more had been repulsed and driven back by an Ethiopian force of 60,000, as the Italians tried a large scale advance of Italians and Somalia into the great African Rift valley. Heavy rains in Ethiopia are proving of advantage to the forces of Selassie. William Randolph Hearst, newspaper publisher, drew a salary of $500,000 during* the year 1034. and Mtfe West, movie actress, drew a salary for the year of $330,166.65, according to reports made to the income tax bureau in Washington. Capt. Paul Herberger, 61, a naturalized American citizen of Seattle, Wash., has boon ordered by the police of Merlin to get out of the country by April 1st, because of criticism of the Nazi regime b\ the captain. His criticisms were in private letters to his sister in Sweden, the lotters having been opened by postal authorities at -Hamburg In an address at Durham, N. in which he devoted himself principally to defense of the New Deal and President Roosevelt. Dr. Ralph W. McDonald. who seeks the Democratic nomination for governor of the state, charged the American liberty Dengue with being "determined to Involve this nation in war," and added "one of its major aims In seeking to defeat Roosevelt Is to permit the Liberty leaguers to share In the profits of warfare." Cotton Contest Again For State In 1936 Clenuon, Juii. 4.?Announcement was made today by D. tV. Watklns, director of Extension, that the Btatewlde Five-acre Cottou Contest conducted during the pant 10 years by the Extension Service wll be continued In 1036, the Cotton Manufacturers' Association of South Carolina having offered again to provide funds, amounting to $2,000, to be used for prTies ln IRe CdWriMtt. Tttg 'oqptwt^ wlTf, as In th% ptlttt, supervised by iL W, ilain 11 tottV chief ajuronpmiat of the Exteuslbii Service, cooperating with county farm agents and cotton growers in each county. "The contest, has been an Important annual agricultural event during nine of the past ten years," says Mr. Watkins. "Several hundred farmers each year have participated and re-1 ported results obtained, frizes iiuve been won in every section of the state during this period. Uy means of tilts contest cooperation is obtained among all cotton interests including producers, seed breeders, educational agencies, buyers and manufacturers to Improve the quality of the cotton produced as well as the economy of its production." "The best work of seed breeders finds a quick outlet on farms of the state through this contest, and the ' spread of better types of seed to all parts of the state has Increased the value of the state's crop very materially above the value of the crop in those regions Which are still producing Inferior staples." No conditions are attached to entering this contest other than compliance with a few simple rules designed by the Extension Service to stimulate interest in the economical production of quality cotton, which is important in meeting competition at home and abroad. Contestants are expected to UHe a variety of seed which will produce cotton of around one inch to one and one-sixteenth Inches in staple length. It Is expected that this early kunouncement will enable many farmers to make plans for participating in this contest while the best planting seed are stll available. Those planning to qualify for this contest in 1936 should notify the county farm agent or the Extension Service, Clemson. S. C\, in order to receive rules and report forms; and those who wish to profit by the experience of the hundreds who have participated in previous years may secure a report and analysis of the work of such contestants from the Extension Service* A score of coal miners and their wives were rescued Wednesday night from a snowbound Wyoming ranch, where they had been marooned since Sunday. A tractor-driven snowplow pushed til rough a raging snow storm to the ranch after a three-day battle over 20 miles of snow-blockaded roads. At a meeting of the national Democratic executive committee In Washington Thursday, all of the committeemen voted to support the New Deal policies of the President except Governor Talmadge of Georgia. Chairman Farley told the committeemen that the approaching campaign would be one of "defamation'' financed by the largest "slush fund in history," from those "who have neither public conscience nor private scruple." Snowtlrakes fell at Mariana, Fla., Monday. The town is close to the Alabama state line in northwest Florida. HAMMER AND TONGS President Roosevelt's spoken mes-! sage to the congress was belligerent,] aggressive, daring and without any apology. The "New Deal" was the burden of his song. If he goes down. It will be with his flag up. He will have a tight on his hands. Though not, endorsing much of the spending of his administration, we are still fort Roosevelt another four years. His lighting speech has increased our wish for his reelection. We must admire his courage. Another thing nobody can deny Is that he did not follow the usual rule of opening the coffers alone to the upper crust on the flabby plea to let It percolate to the lower strata. He has sent It direct to the masses, and makes no "bones" about it.

Columbia, Jan. 13.?Jugies H. VV11aoii of Lancaster, 62 year old sergeantat-anus of (ho House, Was elected superintendent of the State peniteutlary today uud announced he would resign hie legislative post within 48 hour*. The prison board at u called meeting named Wilson to succeed A. M. Scarborough, superintendent from 1923 through. 1327, and from January V~ 1983, to 6ite.<"WUson aara Be would appoint J, Oii? Sanders, form! erfy .pl. Anderson, captain of the gdard to replace Captain H. H. fKestor. :r , " Scarborough said neither Governor Olin Johnston nor the board had ever Intimated that "my work as superintendent was not In every manner satisfactory xxx Just why 1 was so summarily relieved is u matter beyond my conjecture." The bourd announced that Scarborough, who held office at its pleasure, would transfer the prison administration to Wilson as soon as a routine audit of the books could be made. It uutheftized payment of one month's additional salary, $365, to Scarborough. Wilson was directed to take office February 1, or as soon as the audit was completed. His pay, now fixed at $4,380 a year, would begin the first of next month. He said he would submit his resignation as sergeant-at-arms, a post he lfas held continuously since 1901, to the House tomorrow or Wednesday, but would continue to serve until It had time to elect a successor. Sanders, a State constable and vet-' erau law enforcement officer, was captain of the penitentiary guard from 1927 to 1933, under Superintendent J. N. Pcarman. Scarborough was succeeded by Pearman and, in turn, succeeded Pear- 1 man, as a majority of the penitentiary board changed with the governorship. His tenure apparently was terminated by a similar change. The board elected Wilson at a meeting at Governor Johnston's office. Scarborough issued a statement, addressed "to the taxpayers and General Assembly of South Carolina," as an accounting, saying he had accumulated a total cash surplus of $102,000 during seven and one-half years as superintendent. He said he had run the prison, installed a refrigerating plant, fire hydrants and water lines, a central heating plant, a $5,000 canteen fund for teaching Inmates, a school for 80 Illiterates, and new machinery while the prison population increased and the legislature cut appropriations from $102,000 In 1932 to $95,000 for 19351336. "I do not know the qualifications of my successor," he said, "but I leave the institution with no regrets of any of my doings and actions as the superintendent, and I wish for him every possible success." Marine Disaster Takes Heavy Toll Astoria, Ore., Jan. 13.?Thirty-four men were counted lost today as the wild Pacific hurled six battered bodies upon the shore from the wrecked intercoastal freighter, Iowa. Coast guardsmen said none of the crew of the 410-foot vessel could have survived the pounding seas that smashed the freighter into wreckage after a 76-mile an hour hurricane tossed it upon Peacock Spit, Davy Jones' locker for many another ship. The furious storm "also threatened several other vessels as coast patrols sought bodies of other victims. It was the greatest toll of lives on Peacock Spit since 1913, when 33 wero lost on a tanker. An even greater loss of life was averted narrowly when the coast guard cutter, Onondaga veered toward Peacock Spit and was able barely to inch away from the danger zone, unable to get close enough to shoot a life lino aboard the doomed Iowa. The Onondaga left the scene when her commander. Capt. R. Stanley Patch, said no life existed longer aboard the remnants of the 3,564-ton freighter's broken hull. Mountainous waves and an Irresistible gale clutched the freighter Just as it crossed out over the Columbia river bar, bound southward and for tho east coast. Slowly, at first, the ship was forced off its course and Vlrlvcn northward. The oppressive force became greater?an SOS was flashed?full speed ahead was ordered. Rut the sturdy engines of the craft were no match for the gale. Tho storm ' drove the boat back and grounded It the spit where giant breakers comb the shallow shore line for several miles out to sea. . A 76-mile an hour hurricane was blowing over Peacock Spit. Farther southward ou the Oregon shore the wind reached a velocity of 90 miles an hour.
