LIQUOR SALES EXCEED
THIRTEEN MILLION DOLLARS'
i
Liquor sales In South Carolina during
the fiscal year ending June 30,'
1937, amounted to $13,173,670.00, ac- j
cording to figures complied by a com-1
miltee of citizens from reports of the
South Carolina Tax Commission. I
These figures were based on actual
excise taxes collected amounting to [
$1,317,367.00. at the rate of ten cents
per pint. The average retail selling
price of liquor was figured at $1.00
per pint.
In addition to the sales of alcoholic i
liquors, it was estimated from taxes i
paid that the sales of wine and beer i
during the same period exceeded $5,000,000.00.
Therefore the total sales,
of all alcoholic beverages exceeded'
$18,000,000.00. j
Revenues und sales of alcoholic 11-'
quors in every incorporated town and
city in the state have been figured on
the same basis.
In Kershaw county, revenues and
indicated sales were:
Bethune. $2,686.00 gross excise tax
revenue; $26,860.00 estimated sales. !
\
Blaney. $903.20 gross excise tax revenue;
$9,032.00 estimated sales.
Camden, $23,174.16 gross excise tax
revenue; $231,744.60 estimated sales.
Kershaw, $6,338 93 gross excise tax
revenue; $63.3*9.30 estimated sales

Yeggmen Admit
Postoffice Job
Chicago, Nov. lB.-r-PoatofTlce Inspector
Archie Imus aald today Albert
Ulllman, 67, and James H. Morgan,
64, brought hero from Soyth Carolina,
confessed the $6,600 biliary of the
Nappaiiee (Ind.) postoffice last 8ep-|
teniber 6. \
The Inspector said both men had
criminal records. They were seised'
in Columbia for questioning in connection
with a bank robbery at Sharon.
Inspector Imus said the prisoners
would be taken to South Bend. Ind.,
for trial In connection with the Nap-j
panee theft.
Hlllman and Morgan when nabbed
In South Carolina had but llttlo money
with them when seized, Imus said.
Hlllman and Morgan in company
with Ira Coulter, 37, were arrested
In Columbia November 2, by Detectives
W. T. Scott and J. R. White of
the Columbia police as suspocts In
the robbery of the Bank of Sharon
the night before.
A check of the men's whereabouts
convinced officers that they could not
have committed the Sharon Job but
they were turned over to federal officers
in connection with a serlos of
postofTico robberies in Illinois, Indiana
and Virginia. When the trio
was captured in Columbia a complete
acetelyne torch outfit was found in
the cur they were using. The purchase
of the equipment was traced to
Chicago.
Coulter, third member of the gang,
was returned to Plymouth, Mich., to
stand trial in connection with a bank
robbery there in May.
When captured the men had a little
more than $300 among thorn.
Hens In The Sun
Higher Egg Hatch
Willi the approach of winter, laying
flocks need all the sunshine they can
get. says W. C. McCarley, county farm
agent. Of course, the flock must be
protected from chill and extreme cold,
but the practice of closing the hen
house door before Christmas and not
opening it until after Kaster, as many
poultrymen do, reduces the hatchability
of the eggs laid in this period.
"The first recommendation for the!
Improvement of hatchability is the i
greater use of free sunshine and
green feed," the agent states. "It is
estimated that poultrymeif and hatcherymen
of the United States take an
annual loss of more than $14,000,000
from eggs that fail to hatch."
In experiments conducted at the
National Agricultural Research Center
at Bcitsville, Md., where the brooding
flock was allowed outdoors in th?
winter sunshine, the hatchability of
their fertile eggs increased 14 per
cent. Tliis increase was shown despite
the fact that the hens had previously
received a diet containing two
per cent codllver oil.
iti South Carolina, according to P.
H. Gooding, extension poultry specialist.
hens can be given free range during
the entire year. If the range is
not sufficient to . provide green feed
during the winter, five pounds of alfalfa
leaf meal should be added to
each lttO pounds of laying mash.
Mr. and Mrs. Hurbert Greason and
daughter, and Mr. and Mrs. Guy
Vaun, of Columbia visited their aunt,'
Mrs. It. S. Williams last Sunday.

THE TRUMPETER SWAN
Appeal To Sportsmen To Be Careful
?, About 8hootlng Them.
"Don't be too quick on the trigger!"
I That la the plea again being bropd,caat
by the Department of the Interior
[to gun clubs and duck shooters In the
I northern Rock Mountain states. The
|reason: Hasty Nlmrods might jmis-j
[take the rare trumpeter swan for oth|
er waterfowl.
Threatened with extinction In 1W4, |
jthls great white bird has lately shown
a tendency to multiply?thanks to a|
[united protective front of sportsmen,
the press and naturalists," says a bul
letin from the Washington, D. C? |
headquarters of the National Geographic
Society.
"A recent census made by the United
States Biological Survey showed
a total of 114 birds In their only I
i kno-?rxr American breeding grounds? 1
I Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming,
and the Rod Rock Lakes Refuge In
Montana. A 1934 estimate listed only |
fifty, trumpeter swans.
Contrary i to popular belief, the chief)
enemy oKjjhe trumpeter swan Is not
man, however, but the Coyote. This
underbrush sneak thief, which devours
"both eggs and young, threatened
to send the trumpeter the way
of the great auk and the passenger
I pigeon, until man stepped in and offered
bounties for coyote scalps.
J But the battle has not yet been won,
, and the government is making efi
forts to have people and cattle excluded
from the breeding grounds of'
[the swans during the nesting period,
iAlso islands are being built In lakes)
that Jack them In the area. |
The trumpeter is only slightly larger
than its close relative, the whistling
swan. The main distinction is
the voice. That of the trumpeter Is
very low in key?it might almost be
called a groan at times?but possesses
unusual resounding qualities. It'
has been compared to a French horn,,
When a flock is passing overhead,,
the calls do not seem to be very loud,)
but long after for miles away, the
low groaning trumpet comes back,
clear and insistent. <
I The ranges of the two similar spe-.
Ides are very different. Simply put,
(the whistler summers as far north
as he can and winters far south. The '
trumpeter summers as far south as
he can find safe breeding grounds,
and winters as far north as he can
find open fresh water.
The average length of the great
white trumpeter swan is sixty-five
inches. Old estimates of lta great'
weight are probably not true. Thirty i
pounds is a fair maximum for a large
bird. It has an all-black bill and!
black feet, although the young have i
considerable yellow on the feet. The
Latin name of the trumpeter is Cyg-j
nus buccinator.
| SOIL CONSERVATION;
I WILDLIFE AREA MAINTENANCE
J (By Guy A. Cardwell, Agricultural and '
ndustrial Agent, Atlantic Coast Line I
Railroad Company)
On all areas used for wildlife development
the trees should be kept ^
hinned to a point where ground cover
will not be killed by shading. The
most desirable shrubby plants should
be left in moderate numbers to grow
in clumps The plant succession on
areas not cultivated every year will
give variety. Food bearing plants, j
such as. sassafras, sumac, and plum
are preferred to pine and other large,
trees. j
j When time cannot he spared for
jthe ?preparation of seedbeds each
| spring, it ia advisable to Include a
I perennial or reseedlng species in each 1
food-producing mixture that Is applied
on land other than gullies. Such areas
j will remain in satisfactory condition
j from three to six years or more. By
j reseedlng a few such plots each year
ja continuous supply of feed can be
! maintained.
I When the farmer Is unable to rei
seed designated wildlife areas, light
[disking, which may be done during
.the late fall or winter at Intervals of
j two or three years, will generally
i stimulate desired volunteer growth,
j Wnore thi.-* la Ao be done on rolling
land, narrow strips should bo disked
[on the contour on a two or three year
rotation basis.
With each harvesting of small grain
and hay crops, narrow stripe should
be left standing along 4t)k borders
and In odd corners of the field. It
Is especially Important that a strip
be left standing 'on the lower part of
the field to serve as a filter strip and
iriOUtse food supply fpy quail near

Jones Advises
Buy Home Products
Thanksgiving Week, .November 22
to 27 throughout South Carolina is
proclaimed as "South Carolina Products
Week." 8tarted in 1935, this
week, is set aside annually for the
public to renew its faith in the in!
dustries of the state.
| For a number of years the South
Carolina department of agriculture,
| under Commissioner J.? Roy Jones,
has been conducting a campaign that
| the people of the state better acquaint
themselves with the products being
manufactured and also to show preferonce
in purchasing these products
(that the agricultural and textile industries
might find cause to expand.
During the past season Increased
Interest has been shown in finished
textile products and definite studies
are being made for greater consumption
of cotton to counteract the increased
crop. During 1937, more flih
ished goods have been distributed In
South Carolina from domestic' mills
than ever before In the history of the
industry in the state.
In the field of fruit growing interested
parties are planning for concerted
promotion of grapes, apples
and peaches. The packaging and processing
of these are yet in the Infancy
with respect to the South Carolina
crop. It is hoped the coming year
will bring to the front some of the
plans for the extension of fruit grown
In the state.
Annually ComffilRsioner Jones extends
the efforts of the department of
agriculture with the business and professional
woman's clubs in the state
| to carry on the campaign "Buy South
t'arollna Products." He remarked recently
to a committee group: "We
cannot expect to he successful in Just
one or two years with this campaign,
it takes study and constant promotion.
The public baa, cooperated
splendtdly, and I hope we can continue
to show the Industries of South Carolina
we are fully behind them." ^
| Along with the ^wholesale and retail
merchants, the newspapers and
radio are lending every effort to eoni
tlnue the campaign. The consumer
tr urged to "Buy South Carolina Pr6Idncw."

State's Farms I
In Big Yield
Quantity production of most crops ^
in South Carolina la going to be one
of the largest ever, It is announced
by- Frank O. Black, federal agricultural
statislclan.
Mr. Black has Issued the following
bulletin on crop conditions in (the
state as of November 1:
"In point of production, South Carolina
is experiencing one of its best
crop years. On the whole, favorable
seasons have continued to date and.
final harvest is expected to show the
largest cotton and corn crops
since 1931 and 1923, respectively, and
Ifee biggest hay crop of many years.
A record tobacco crop has been harvested
and sold for more money than
any previous tobacco crop. Outturn
of food and feed crops are well above
average and for the most part production
of minor crops is ample for
local need*
"Production of all crops combined
is now expected to be 12 per cent
above final outturn in 1936 and 36
per cent above average for the years
1928-1932.
"At current estimates the combined
value of lint cotton and tobacco is
approximately 63 million dollars, Compared
with 67 million dollars last
year. Thus the present %value of our
principal cash crops is only about
per cent below that of last year despite
the low price of cotton. This
not greatly unfavorable comparison is
mostly due to good prices for the
record tobacco crop but also in part
to the relatively large cotton crop.
"The corn crop is expected to^^K
tal 26,017 bushels, which would be
the largest crop since 1923, 6 per cent"
above last year's production and 24
per cent above average for the years
1928-1932.
"Seasons were unusually favorable
for hay production and the estimate
of 506,000 tons is one of the largest
crops ever produced in the state.
"The sweet potato estimate of 4,8^0,000
bushels is about the usual
crop.
"Peanut production is estimated at
8,580,000 pounds, which is 5 per cent
above last year's crop but slightly
below average.
"Pecan production is expected to.
total 1,160,000 pounds, which Is 26 per
.cent below last year's crop but 46
per cent above average outturn for
the years 1928-1032. ^
"Preliminary estimates indicate
that 1,364,000 bushels of coyrpeas and
60,000 bushels of soybeans will be
gathered this fall. These 'estimates
compare with 1,446,000 bushels of
cowpeas and 66,0p0 bushels of soybeans
harvested last year."
