the election of fourteen highway commissioners,

bill becomes a luw, that Kershaw

The great uiuater of poetry and
prose, 70 last December, succumbed
in u hospital here after a gallant Ave
d?y fight following an emergency ab
dentinal operation Monday tor a per

were at bis side.
The grand old man of English letters
went to judgment without official
recognition from the empire he had
praised and had a large part In creating.
The title as Laureate of the
Empire, the dearest dream of a poet's
heart, never became his.
King Oeprge V was his great admirer,
but the intranslgeant attitude
of the crown- In popular belief?-was
based on Kipling's reference many
years ago to Queen Victoria lu one
of his "Tommy" pocrae as "The Widow
of Windsor."
Hut tils memory and his poems will
be cherished in the hearts of millions
the world over. He probably Is the
most quoted of poets since Shakespere.
And he left a legacy of prose
rivaling Ills earthy, heart-touching
poems. Ills llrst book was published

for Its failure to give him official

British Flyers
Found In Antartic
Loudon, Jan. 17. -Lincoln Ellsworth
and his copilot were safe uboard a
rescue ship tonight, dramatically
snatched from deuth in the icy Antarctic
one week before starvation
threatened their lives.
Holli were well although Ellsworth,
noted explorer, was suffering from a
slight cold.
The rescue ship Discovery II, sent
out jointly by the British and Canadian
governments, found Ellsworth
and Herbert Ilollick-Kenyon, Ills English-Canadian
co-pilot, yesterday in
Little America.
The airmen, who had started ou^
from the Weddell sea to make the iirst
flight, across thy .Antarctic continent,
had provisions "sufficient only to sustain
them until next Friday. They
had been unreported since November
22.
Wireless messages from the relief
expedition disclosed Ellsworth and
Hollick-Kenyon had run out of fuel
on (heir daring and successful flight
across the South Folar wastes. A
damaged radio transmitter kept litem
front sending out word of their plight.
While the men rested, the colonial
office in lxmdon, 11,000 miles away,
anxiously awaited further details of
the rescue and of the successful flight
?both of which had added important
chapters to the gripping history of
Antarctic exploration.
Hope for the men's safety had been
abandoned by many, but not by their
immediate families and other explorers.

Over a Wide Area
Columbia, Jan. 22?Chief State
Warden A. A. Richardson ordered a
closed season today on all hunting
in a wide area of central and lower

on State streams.
The order provided that hunting be
banned in the territory affected by it
beginning tomorrow and extending
until midnight February 1.
It forbade any hunting "in the
swamps and on the waters of the following
streams and their tributaries:
Great Pee Dee, Lynches, Black, \Yateree,
Congaree, Santee and Savannah
rivers."
The rivers and their tributaries
touch upwards of 30 counties.
"Any person found hunting with
guns or dogs within the restricted
territory during a closed season so
declared." Richardson said, "shall be
prima facie evidence that he has violated
the provisions" of a section of
the law he cited under which he was
authorized to declare the closed season.
"regardless of whether he or
they have killed any game or not."

Commenting on Colonel Lindbergh's
self-imposed exile, Admiral Hobson believes
the flier will remain away only
temporarily. "A man of Lindbergh's
temperament reacts strongly to public
acclaim. He gave evidence of this
even before tragedy came to his
child. Now. with so much tension In
the air, his leaving was what the
country should have expected. One
wonders that he didn't get away beOne

Is its effect on private career
A great many people were asonished
when It became known that
? Lindbergh was privately pursuing
a scientific career. His experlments
with the perfusion apparatus
(scientific heart) gave evidence of the
line headway he was making. Now
of course, his studies have been seriously
interfered with. This Is just
one of the luxury taxes' of being a
hero.'
However, Admiral Hobson has no
remedy to suggest. He remembers
with a dry smile his own tribulations
during the days when it was fashionable
for women of all ages to em-1
brace him on sight.
I hat was when the hero of the I
Merrimac became known as the "Hero'

box, captioned "An Apology."
on the front page of its succeeding
issue, "some one called the night city
editor, a veteran.of several years',
service on the Times-Dispatch, at mid-1
night Thursday, and saying he was
Jesse P. Binford. superintendent of
schools, asked the paper to carry an
announcement that, because of the
weather, no session would be held
yesterday (Friday). Mr. Binford
made no such call.
"It was the voice of an adult, not a
child, and the Times-Dispatch is endeavoring
to ascertain his identity
We regret very much the inconvem
ences to school patrons and the embarrassment
to Mr. Binford and other
school officials."
As a result of the printed announcement
that there would be no school
