SOUTH CAROLINA POPULATION INCREASES 121,235 IN SIX YEARS Washington, D. C., Oct. 29.?Should South Carolina continue to increase in population during the next six years or seven years as she lias In the past six, the Palmetto state will he entitled to add another representative in Congress to the six she already has. This is indicated in figures released today by the census bureau showing that South Carolina's population lias Increased from 1,738,765 in 1930 to 1,860,000 in 1936, a gain of 121,235.1 According to the last enumeration,! each representative in Congress rep-1 resents 279,712 people. According to the present allocation of representatives in Congress, the state has six men in the House of Representatives: Thomas S. McMil-j lan in the first district, including: Charleston and the "low country;" Hampton F. Fulrner, representing the district surrounding Columbia; J. C. Taylor, of Anderson in the third district, representing the furthermost west counties of the state; Hey ward Mahon, Jr., of Greenville, who has been selected to fill the place of John H. McSwain, representing the heavily populated Piedmont section, replete with industries; Jas. P. Richards, of Lancaster, representing the fifth district, comprising the northernmost counties of the state, and A. H. Casque of Florence, representing the sixth district. Also on the coast but not considered a part of the aristocratic "low country" as is Charleston. Just where the next representative might come from and Just what district might be split to make room for him, cannot be determined at this time.

Although they parted in bitterness J when Couzens resigned hia connection ] with the Ford Motor company in 1916, much of the animoaity waa healed in later yeura aa the two followed separate pathways., Ford and Couzens labored long and earnestly together to build the Ford Motor company. Without the hardheaded business genius of Couzona, some have said, the company might have developed iuto "Just another of the early automobile companies," of which scores wore organized and failed. In thoae early days, Couzona waa secretary, treasurer, vice president and general manager of the company. Ho and Ford drew Identical salaries. Sotjie biographers have credited Couzens alone with responsibility for the $5-a-day minimum wage plan with which Ford startled the industrial world early in 1914. Couzens was a man of unusuul impulses but deep-seated convictions. When he decided upon his announcement last August in favor of President Roosevelt's reelection, pressure was brought to persuade him to postpone it until after the primary. "You want to make me a hypocrite?" lie asked. With characteristic independence, he issued the statement throe weeks lu advance of the primary. in the announcement Couzens indicated that although a candidate for renomination in the Republican primary, he would take the stump in the Roosevelt campaign. "The reason for this conclusion (his support of President Roosevelt) will be advanced from time to time between now and election next November," his statement said. Illness prevented the carrying out of this intention, but the senator undoubtedly recalled it when he left his hospital bed only a week before his death to greet and rido through Detroit streets with President Roosevelt. Many stories have been told of the origin of Couzens* break with Ford. Couzens himself said that it had begun largely with Ford's views on preparedness, war loans and, as he put It, "on about everything else," shortly before the outbreak of the World war. Late In 1923 when a movement was started to name Ford as a candidate for the presidency, Couzens opposed it in an address before the Detroit Republican club. Making an evident effort to control his voice, Couzens who had Just begun his initial term in the United States senate said: "I never loved a man and thought so much of a man In his place as 1 An Henry pori. Thfica ii?ver was a man who was kinder and tnore thoughtful to me -than Henry Ford. I want to save him from the greatest humiliation that ever could befall a man." Subsequently Ford and Couzens were seen frequently together again and most of the animosities had disappeared. Couzens' exact wealth probably was not known even to himself. He made no secret of the fact that his early life was one of hardship. "We were so poor In Chatham (his boyhood home in Canada) that we could not have a hanging kerosene lamp In our parlor like the neighbors," he odcg related. The Couzens credo probably was best outlined In a communication to a friend. The senator wrote: "I want to do what I can to see that life is not made a burden for the many and a holiday for the few. To love justice, to hate iniquity and hypocrisy, to wrestle wickedness In high places, to remember the fatherless and the widow in their tribulations, to labor as good stewards In the service of humanity?this I take to be our work." HOME WORK ELIMINATED IN ATLANTA 8CHQOLS Atlanta, Ga.?The Atlanta school system looks upon school as comparaable to business and believes when a day's work is done both should be left behind. Therefore, home work should be eliminated, M. E. Coleman, director of attendance and census of the Atlanta schools, has stated. Homework has already been eliminated In the Atlanta schools with three exceptions. In nearby Decatur, though, the assignment of home work still continues, the thought of avoiding it is growing and Superintendent Lamar Ferguson has called the giving of home lessons to children as "almost criminal." Students in Atlanta are encouraged to interest themselves In subjects outside of the schools such as music, art, or reading and are urged to pur[interest Ihem, Mr. Coleman ' U.i.-U? -.! i .'I'j i i. . Extension Activities At The State Fair The comprehensive activities of the Intension Service of Clemsou und Wlntlnop Collegia towards bettering farm and home conditions were vividly pictured this >eai with un electrically liKhted map of the state which made it ho easy that "even ho who I runs may reud" thut "Hervice" is a meaningful word in t lie name KxtunHlon Service. Three arresting displays by homo demoiiHtratiori agents were enlightening: On wise leisure-time guidance of children, on the important pluce of the child In the home, and ou the food conservation economy of women's clubs In tilling winter pantries ff-om summer gardens. The 4-II corn exhibit, for many years a fine educational feature, was a further step in (ruining Junior farmers to bo better producers of bettor corn. The attractive booth, with 103 exhibits, was an instructive object lesson to scores ef others also. "The best beef cult" exhibit o\ur! made at the State Fair," suld a livestock authority. A larger than usual dairy calf show, If not the best in quality or fitness of animals; and a tip-top pig club show of 100 animuls. If All of, which means big promise for the future of livestock in South Curo- j Una when these ciubaters put thotr fine training Into practice as adult, farmers. Drawing perhaps larger crowds of men, women, and children than any other one department of the State Fair wus the always popular poultry show, Including the 4-H poultry and egg show. Young and old learned more fully about quality in poultry and its big economic value to the state. * A new feature in 4-H club exhibits was the competitive displays of common Insects by Richland and Lexington county clubsters. These collections had high value to the clubsters who collected and mounted them and to many others, adults as well as youngsters.

C., Oct. 30.?It la impossible to identify an individual by his blood, according to Professor Quy F. Lipscomb of the chemistry department at the University of South Carolina. Human blood can be differentiated from that of lower forms of animal life, however, and classllled into several different types that can be readily identified. In a n/urder case an axe with blood | on it might be found in the possession | of the suspect. The blood might be that of the victim, but the suspect says it is that of a chicken killed with the axe. It can be determined by testing, says Dr. Lipscomb, whether the blood on the axe is that of a human or a chicken. "You cannot prove to what individual the blood belongs, however," says Dr. Liipscomb who has been called on such cases a number of times, "you can only And the type blood it is and compare it with that of the victim." ??M U-,1- J-- - -1 ..-?..(L-J- ?r DIVORCE 8TORIE8 IN U. 8.
