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

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.)

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*

Snowtlrakes fell at Mariana, Fla.,
Monday. The town is close to the

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.

Name Wilson Head
Of S. C. State Pen
t .
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.
