Voice of Candidate Already Being Heard Political Ice of 1934 Has Been Broken-r i by Announcement of Fabian C. Still. Columbia, Nov. 29.—Motor vehicle license plates for the year 1933 aie now ready foi distribution at the of fices of the Motor Vehicle Division of the State Highway Department in t olumhia, according to announce- rient by Wilbert V. Sutherland, head f the division. The plates for the coming year, manufactured at the State penitentiary, are of attractive pattern: black lettering on white back ground bearing in addition to the State designation and the pumber, the fol- owing legend: “The lodie Products State:” ' . • .. The political ice of 1934 has been broken in Barnwell County—and that’s something new under the sun, coming as it does a year and a half ahead of the formal opening of the campaign. Fabian C. Still, of Elko, has the dis tinction of being the first candidate in Barnwell County to throw hi s hat in the ring for the 1934 primary elec tions—and the plum he is seeking is the office of county superintendent of education. Mr. Still, who i s 22 years of age, is the son of Arthur R. Still, a very successful farmer of the Elko section. He was graduated this year from The Citadel, where he made a splendid scholastic record. He is also a graduate of the Williston-Elko high school, where he likewise proved a model student. Mr. Still’s pre-campaign announce ment will doubtless come as a sur prise to the voters of the county, who were hardly anticipating anything in the way of political announcements at a time when the din of the presidential battle had scarcely died away. How ever, he seems to be an energetic young fellow who believes in taking time by the forelock. Elsewhere in this issue of The Peo ple-Sentinel will be found Mr. Still’s formal announcement. Perhaps others who believe that “the ear ly bird catches the worm” will follow his lead: RISTMAS vivVvj to; .»••• ••••*« !••«••••••* i ***•#•. * rc.w.* sv:*.* •fie*: .•f'v. 1932 Seventeen 4-H Girls’ , Fatal Accident on Clubs Are Organized Thanksgiving Day 214 Members Are Enrolled in Barn >1 Hell County for Year 1932- 1933 by Miss McNab.

Persons having vehicles not properly register- *'d shou'd secure transfer blanks from a dealer and see that legal title to the vehicle is correctly recorded. “Mr. Sutherland and his assistants in the Motor Vehicle division handled the colossal task of distributing the license plates last year with remark able efficiency,” said Chief Highway Commissioner, Ben M. Sawyer. “They are prepared to render the game kind of sytvice this year, and only ask the co-operation of the motor vehicle owners in the proper filling cut and prompt submittal of application blanks.” =--- —^ Couple Celebrates 50th Anniversary Mr. and Mrs. A.
