The newspapers of the country seem to be ulmost a unit in opposing the President's plan for control of the United States Supreme Court, the press viewing the stop us a distinct violation of the theory of our government, which provides for three separate and distinct branches, each one having certain definite duties, and secure against invasion or encroachment by the others. The plan that Mr. Roosevelt proposes seems to bo nothing less than the complete takingover of the court by packing it with his followers, men who before they go on the bench are told what to do, and will do it regardless. What a sinister threat is Involved to the great American democracy can be easily discerned, and no wonder opposition is not confined to the minority party. If senators and representatives at Washington can be induced for a time at least to take their eyes off the pork barrel and recognize the danger involved in this proposal, it ought to meet with overwhelming defeat.?

THERfc'S NO SUCH THING AS LUCK ..I am thru with believing In signs us well us good luck articles. 1 he graveyard rabbit loot a friend gave me In December has cost me no little bit of money. The first thing that failed to click was u 0-dollftf check 1 cashed for a friend (?). 1 rubbed' it on both sides with my rabbit foot, but the hank said It was N. G. ..I saw a drunk mun wobbling toward me in his model "T" the next j day; 1 grabbed my rabbit foot from my vest-pocket forthwith, but that didn't keep me from getting 1 fender, 1 bumper, 2 lights and a radiator busted; the drunk man and his car were worth just exactly $U.16, so the last I saw of them, they were still wrecked too. . .1 saw the moon as clear as a whistle last week. Not a cloud or a bush or even a whif of smoke was between me and that beuutiful crescent. As I walked toward the house from seeing the said moon which was viewed from the back yard, 1 stepped on a garden rake and the handle flew up und biffed me ker-dab in the face and broke a pair of $27.60 specs, at least ?that's what 1 paid for them. ..On my way to the office Thursday morning, 2 black cats and u dog crossed the street about <J feet in front of me. There was no way to avoid this badluck, as 1 was going too fast to slow down before crossing tbelr tracks. 1 knew 1 was in for a bad day, but what do you reckon? 1 collected $24.26 on an old 1920 account that I considered lost 2 years ago. .. 1 carried a buckeye once till it nearly ruined me with calamities The Irish potato I toted in my pocket made my sciatica get worse and worse.

A hu- j pertor court Jury toniKht found hMgur Lemy Smoak guilty of murder in the ^ first degree In the death of hit) 16year old daughter. Thu Jury returned its verdict short ( ly after 9 p. in after receiving the case of the 39-year old carpenter accused of poisoning his daughter, Annie Thelinu, and his two wives, late in the afternoon. Judge J II. Clement immediately sentenced Smoak to die April 23 in the state's jethul gas chamber at Itai leigh. I Tim sentence was mandatory under 1 the verdict. ,Smoak was brought to trial only on a charge of murdering; his daughter, but the state contended lie also poisoned Ills wives who died 14 years apart. Judge J. II. Clement finished a twohour and a half charge at 5:45 p. in. instructing the Jury it could return verdicts of first-degree murder or of acquittal. Solicitor John J. iiurney, who made the suite's summation to the Jury, asked for a first-degree verdict, and the defense attorneys, L. Clayton Grant and W. L. Farmer, aBketl acquittal. Burney, the stocky young prosecutor, called Smoak "a big-time criminal working in a small way," and said money and lust drove him to kill three times. He reviewed the state'H evidence that the defendant carried small insurance policies oil his two wives, Annie Thelma, hla two sons, his housekeeper, Mrs. Gtonette Harker, and Mrs. Marker's mother, Mrs.' Bertha Stuart. He told the Jury that Smoak remarried eight months after the death of his first wife and that within two weeks of his second wife's death, Mrs. "Harker, a 32-year-old widow, moved into his home as housekeeper. The solicitor asserted Smoak took out policies for small amounts, usually $600, with different Insurance companies, so he would not arouse suspicion. Defense attorneys told the Jury that the state had failed to show that Smoak administered poison which he bought a few days before Annie Thelma's death and failed to develop a creditable motive. The lanky, stooped defendant sat stoically through the long arguments an the opposing lawyers delineated him both as a kind and a considerate ifather and as a diabolical prisoner. Clubsters Make Good In Beef, Hog Work Clemson, Feb. 27.?An excellent piece of 4-H club work in 1936 wan tile feeding, fitting, allowing, and mile of 82 beef calves by 78 boys from thirteen South Carolina counties. Records in the state club office show that these animals sold for $4,371.92, with a profit of $934.83 to the clubsters. These young beef producers worked hand in hand with Extension Animal Husbandman J. R. Hawkins to learn many valuable lessons from their activities In growing out these animals and showing 69 of them at the State Fair and twelve of them at the Savannah Fat Stock Show. This 4-H beef cattle work was started in 1934 when eight boys completed records on eight animals. Then In 1936, 63 boys completed records on 64 animals. Another fine piece of 4-H demonstration work was the feeding out, showing at the State Fair, and selling of 4-H fat hogs under the supervision of Fhctenklon Livestock Specialist A. L. DuRant. These hogs Bojd for $958.56. In this contest club boys competed against farmers and won out. "In this work, in addition to their educational experience In competing for judging and showmanship honors among themselves and against adults, the clubsters enjoyed also much fun and pleasure," says Dan Lewis, state boyB' club agent.
