PENALTIES IMPOSED
FOR VIOLATING ACT
Columbia, S. .. Jan. 7?Immediate
| steps will bo takon to crack down on
those who arc intentionally violating
tlio provisions of the Selective Service
act. General Holmes B. Springs, state
director, said he had been informed
today.
General Springs, while pointing out
that the state Headquarters for Selective
Service, under the law, is not
charged with enforcement of the act
but serves merely in an administrative
capacity, revealed that he had
been informed by I'nited Slates District
Attorney Claude N. Sapp. of the
Kastern District of South Carolina,
j that complete filei of those suspected
of violations had been turned over to
the Federal Bureau of Investigation's
Savannah office fox investigation.
W'iltul violations of the. act are punishable
by a prison term of not more
than live years or a fine of not more
than $lu,0u0. or both, it was pointed
out by Major Luther K. Brlce, l^gal
adviser at state headquarters.
While only a few persons have been
i suspected <Sf ''wilful violations*-' in
(this state, General Springs said, there)
(are cases of registrants who cannot
be located by local boards due to lack
of knowledge of the law. The F. H. 1.
will also investigate such cases, he
said he had been told.
"Casps where conclusive evidence is
shown that violations of the act are
due to lack of knowledge will, in all
probability, bo treated with sympathetic
consideration, but it is my understanding
that the enforcement j
officers will' present strong cases in
seeking indictments against those
who openly and flagrantly are violating
the law.
"Such obstruction of the nation's
preparedness program at this serious
time is shameful and should be pun-|
ish- d. It is not fair to those who are
now serving their year of intensive!
military training to allow 'dodgers' to
take advantage of the law. The latter
deserve punishment for their tin-1
;>a;riotic acrs.
THE SPIRIT OF ''ABE" REVIVED
A modem t M rs i Abe" Lincoln was I
ovi i'imI in South Carolina during
the lei" ante of Christmas Seals in the)
p. r,oii of C B. Carolina, a teacher of
Lugofi. S. C. and an alumnae of

Hfine character and good will
reveah-d when she modestly appeared
at the local office of the Association
and requested ten dollars |
worth of Seals in addition to what
a!r?-ady had been sent to her school.
1 1 - whole episode started when an
I i-ri'or was inude and only two and one j
half dollars worth had been sent to
her school. She immediately came to
Camden and requested l.o"0 mare. I
Seals.
she was quoted as having said. ' My
school raised ten dollar's worth for
the cause last year, but wo would like
to establish our own record of $ 12 50
this year.'

GARDEN NOTES
- " %
If among the many Now Year's re-!
aolut lone there hi the one to study j
garden planning, much pleasure will
be had by the Individual as well a*
much beauty added to the general
landscape of our town.
As tho average gardener knows
more about planting than planning,
January can be spent in no better way
than in planning a new garden or In
studying how to improve the lines of
old plantings.
Resolve to study garden planning
and to omphuslzo the design. Gardens
built on simple flnea are emphatically
those of the best landscape design.
Plan for simplicity of Hue and color
with all foundation plantings suited to
the lines and size of the buildings, j
Now?January to March?is tho
time for heavy planting of all shrubs
and trees and broad-leaved evergreens.
Now is tho time also for
transplanting In tho gardens already
made. Thin out the overgrown shrubbery.
Take out the trees thnt shade
the plants too heavily. Whore there
are unneoded trees and shrubs <uid
beds and .borders get rid of them and
try to get back to simple tines and
ways of gardening.
In moving tho old shrubs and trees
that lose their leaves in winter, the
root systems will have to bo out and
this means' that tho tops will also
Heed cutting to balance the loss of
root system; Usually to cut one third
off Is right. Ih-oad* leaved evorgreons
and conifers should be moved
with a ball of earth around the roots
and tills ball should not be broken.
After plants have been replanted they
should be given water freely as this
keeps tho new roots growing and prevents
loss in severe cold.
Do not let tne oontrers die out at
any time. If you do they are gone.
Hawthorns have to bo cut back even
though they are moved with a ball of
oarth.
Planning anew the situations of the
| perennial and rose borders will give
plenty of room or good design. A
number of perennials can be transplanted
into tlie border this month,
including pansies, fox-gloves, canter
bury bells, columbine, Shasta daisy.
Roses like best being moved in cold
weather except when it is freezing
UiHd-grown roses with fcare roots \
should be planted from January to
March. A good application of dry
lime-and-sulphur in January, while
roses are dormant is a good control of
mildew.
The easiest way to increase, your
roses is to bend the branches down,
make a deep slanting cut into the
branc, and cover the wounded portion
with soil.
Sow this month your last planting
of winter Flowering Sweet Peas wild
flowers Ranuculus, annual poppies,
California poppies. Sweet Alyssum.
snapdragons. Scabioso, larkspur, calenduls.
mignonette, annual chrysanthemums.
callipsis. candytuft and lawn
grass.
Many bulbs can be transplanted and
for a succession of bloom, continue
to plant gladioli every few weeks
from now until June.
Now is the time to make cutting;* of
crepe myrtle, butterfly-bus, shrubalthea.
box, roses, privet, and hydrangea.
rhe New Orleans Garden Society
suggests that all beds be spaded so
that the clods may be mellowed by
tho frost. For conquering a stubborn
soii autumn leaves and garden trash
may be spaded in and by allowing the
surface to remain rough through the
winter the action of the frost will
break up the soil into fine, mellow
particles).
With good planning and careful
planting both in home gardens end
around places of business, especially
filling stations. Camden can be made
noted for its beautiful gardens as well
as for its places of historic interest ?
