lu an address wired from Mexico
City, to mass meeting in New York,
l^-on Trotzky, now a refugee in Mexico,
off< rod to surrender himself to
Soviet executioners in Russia, if an
impartial commission of inquiry
ahould iind him guilty "in the slightest
degree" of the crimes imputed to
hint by Moscow courts. In his speech,
aa read to the hippodrome meeting,
Trotzky lushed out against what Re
termed Joseph Stalin's "new aristocracy"
and predicted an inevitable
revolution against the "new despotism"
of the Soviets. More than a
hundred police mingled with the j
crowd, alert for signs of possible disorder.
The American committee for
the defense of Trotzky, which arranged
the meeting, had charged that
* plot was under way to prevent the
bearded exile's voice from being
heard.

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. Crossing my lingers when I
enlarged slightly on the truth never
helped any, as that scar on my left
Jaw will prove. Making a cross-mark
and expectorating in it when I have
forgotten something and have to turn
around aud go back and get it is all
bosh.
.. From now on, I'll take things as
they come Including the Thirteenth.

rights to smoke all of the cigarettes,
and eat all the candy they want everday
without cost; they allso are demanding
over-time and dubble time

Smoak Must Die
In Gas Chamber
Wilmington. N. (' . Feb. 20. 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
