New Death Warrant --New Being Made Trenton, N. J., Feb. 18.?Preparation'of a new death warrant for Bruno Ithhard Huuptmuun added a polluted element of haste today to defense efforts.

Trenehard tomorrow to sign the warrant and sentence for the third time the convicted slayer of Colonel Charles A, Lindbergh's baby. The warrunt, expected to be signed at 10:30 a. m., probably will direct that iiuuptmanu be executed the week of Mureh 23 or March 30. Under New Jersey law, Justice Trenehard may set any week between March 23 and April 13 for the execution. Custom has favored the fifth or sixth weeks from the date of signing. Hauptmann'u chances for a new reprieve depended largely on the current efforts to draw new information from him. Samuel S. Leibowilz, New York attorney, recently employed for the defense, has announced blunt talk with llauptinann. has failed, to bring any change in his story. Gov. Harold U. Hoffman, who granted one reprieve, reiterated he has no intention of granting another unless "there are some developments that Attorney General Wilentz and I feel warrunt a new reprieve." "Would a confession from Hauptman, involving others and necessitating an investigation, warrant another reprieve?" the governor was asked. "Personally I would think so," he replied, "but 1 can't speak for Mr. Wilentz." "It would be better to havi? Hauptmann alive if he involved others, is that it?" he was asked. "I think so," he answered. Death Of Mrs. Ray Mrs. Martha Ray, 76, died at her home in West Wateree Monday afternoon at 3 o'clock, after a few days illness. She is survived by her husband, J John R.

Thus Robert W. Hudgens put into a nutshell the chief cause of human suffering ift rural areas of the South recently in his first press interview after becoming Director of Region V, Resettlement Administration. "More than 100,000 families in Alabama, Florida, Georgia and South Carolina," he said, "are struggling to wrest a living from land that was abandoned nearly a century ago and today is being worn out a second and a third time." Declaring that thousands of acreB in these states must be turned from farming to recreation, grazing, forestry, and game preservation, Hudgens said this retirement program was tied closely to the resettlement and rehabilitation programs under which nearly 40,000 families in the region received help during 1935, and already more than 11,000 are on the 1936 program, with others qualifying daily Besides about 3,500 farm families that will be removed from their farms as land use projects are developed, he said, many must be removed from their farms in other areas "simply because the land will not let them work, their way out even with help. These must be placed on better farms in resettlement areas or on rented property and helped by rehabilitation loans." Hudgens pointed out that the rehabilitation program is based on the probable ability of a family to make good rather than on the need of the family. "Loans are extended to clients," he Baid, "not because they are in need, but because they are judged capable of operating a farm and becoming self-supporting if they are furnished with equipment, supplies and subsistence, along with a guidance in farm and home management. We do not aim to give relief. We aim to avoid the need of relief." 1 POLITICAL NOTICE Pursuant to the Call of the Chairman of the Republican State Executive Committee of South Carolina, dated February 1, 1936, notice is hereby given that a Republican County Convention of delegated representatives of the various precincts of Kershaw County will be held at Kershaw, South CarolTmu at my home Tuesday, March ! ?, 1936, at 11 o'clock, a. m., for the purpose of choosing a County Executive Committee, a Chairman and other officers; electing Two delegates and their alternates to the Republican State Convention, and a like number of delegates and alternates to the Congressional District Convention and for the transaction of Such other business as may come before the said County Convention.
