Columbia, Jan. 10.—In view of the fact that the South Carolina highway department hag no authority to extend time on the purchase of 1933 license plates, W. V. Sutherland, director of the motor vehicle division, is again appealing to the motorists of the State to secure their new plates on or before January 15 in order to avoid the liability of arrest and fine. “The State law says that the plates should be displayed on January I,” Mr. Suiheilan-d said, “but we in structed the highway patrol not to make any cases until after January 16 in order that we might make a thorough check on the licenses sold prior to January 1, but we have no authority to extend the time for dis playing plates and therefore urge the purchase of the new plate s at once.” Thousands of motorists are operat ing their vehicles orv the highways of the State with 1932 tags, and it is of paramount importance to them to ■equip themselves with tWs- year’s plate s as soon as possible to avoid the last minute rush that will be made next week. The fifty-cents penalty i s in effect. In urging those who have not bought plates to do so immediately, Mr. Sutherland pointed out that more than $1,150,000 wa., collected by the department for license plates thr ugh January 3, and said, “that is very gratifying to us considering the finan cial condition.” Mr. Sutheilan c j said he also wanted to thank those motor ists who purchased their plates be- f(re the first of the year and avoid a laish. “They aided us greatly in a’ big job,” he said, “and again we ap peal to other motorists to help ps in the remaining few days that aie left before the final time limit on Janu ary 15, because it means a great deal to them as weW as to us.” Lawmakers to Name Several Officials Railroad Commission Members, Chief Game Warden and Others Are to Be Chosen. Sheerer—Hutto. Ellcree, Jan. 4.—The following an nouncement will be of interest to many people in Barnwell County: Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Sheerer, of Carl ton, Ga., announce the marriage of their daughter, Sallie Mae, to Mr. Alfonso R. Hutto, of Savannah, on Thursday, December 29th, at Comer, <2a. '■ Mr. Hutto is the son of Mr. and Mrs. C. H, Hutto, of Elloree, and has many friends in this section of the State. He holds a position with the S. A. L. Railway Co., and has been at Savannah for the past three years. He and M™. Hutto will make their home in Savannah. The 81st South Carolina general assembly, which convened in Colum bia Tuesday, will have several elec tions in addition to important financial matters to dispose of. A check-up disclose s five of the 7 members of the railroad commission, a chief game warden and four cir cuit judges are to be elected, in ad dition to the selection of a speaker of the house of lepresematives and the making of some provision for the de partment of agriculture. The speakership was left vacant when John K. Hamblin, of Union, who had held the post several years, did not offer for re-election to the house. J. W. Shealy has resigned as com missioner of agriculture. There is a strong movement to consolidate this department with the warehouse de partment, and if this materializes, the head of the new new department will be named. J. Roy Jones, warehouse eommis- —\—* ■*— , m- 1 sioner, is a contender for the" ccm- bined post. Commissioner Shealy, in submitting his resignation to the governor, also announced he would be a candidate but there have been recent reports he would not press his candidacy. For the game warden position there are two announced candidates, A. A. Richardson, incumbent, and R. Hugh Be'ser, of Clarendon County. The lailroad commissioners whose terms expire are: J. C. Coney, Reeves- vilie; Thomas H. Tatum, Bishopville; Ben J. Pearman, Starr; J. H. Nance, Cross Hill, and J. E. Beamguard, Clover. The judges: W. H. Tojynsend, Col umbia, fifth circuit; Thos. S. Sease, Spartanburg, seventh; W. H. Grirn- ball, Charleston, ninth, and G. Ben Gr'eene, Anderson, tenth. Unless there is a vacancy, reelection of judge s ordinarily is a perfunctory affair. Sttong sentiment has been express ed in some circles for re-election of the Railroad commissioners in order that the body may continue its power rate investigation without a change in membership. Farmers Make Demand For Relief Measures - ^ Serve Notice They Will Appear at State Capital to Press Their Case Before Legislature. Le Mars, la., Jan. 7.—Protesting farm foreclosure sales, 1,000 north west Iowa farmers served notice today they would appear at the State house to demand relief laws as the State legislature convenes next week. Their action came as a development of a mass meeting of member s of the farmers”^ council for defense after they had halted a foreclosure sale on the farm of John Schimberg for $10,- 000. It was the farmer's’ second such victory in three days. A caravan of farmers to Des Moines will offer support for recom mendations of district Judge C. W. Pitts, of Plymouth County, who on Thursday advocated to Governor- elect Clyde Herring that the courts be deprived for a period of from five to seven months of jurisdiction in all cases where a money judgment i s in volved. A crowd of between 800 and 1,000 farmers gathered at the court house today as the Schimberg sale was about to start. Many of the group were the same men who Wednesday slapped Sheriff R. E. Rippey at a foreclosure sale on the farm of John A. Johnson, dragged Herbert S. Martin, attorney for the New York Life Insurance com pany, down 18 stone steps, and forced Judge Pitts to write hi s recommenda tions to the governor-elect. Apparently ready for the same kind of action, the crowd was disap pointed when Sheriff Rippey announc ed the sale’s indefinite postponement after attorney John T. Keenan, who statrted the action, had withdrawn the suit. Sheriff Rippey later ampli fied his statement, saying the farm ers apparent readiness for violence was primary reasen for the withdraw ing of the suit. Leader s of the farm organization have announced the group stands ready to prevent foreclosure and tax sales and issuance of deficiency judg ments “without violence,” but added that “sometimeg the boys get out of hand.” A definite plan for action in Des Moines before the legislature had not been completed though leaders said that the trip would be made in trucks. The assembly convenes Monday. The farmers who are planning to represent a number of communities in several counties in northwest Iowa, they say, and member s of the farmers’ holiday association. The council, how ever, is functioning separately from the holiday group, which a few months ago sponsored a marketing holiday to bring about higher farm produce prices. James B. Gibson, of Dillon, t wras elected speaker of the house of\rep- resentatives Tuesday on the first bal lot. Senator Edgar A. Brown, of Barn well, is a member of the following committees; Finance, Roads, Bank ing and Insurance. House committee appointments were net made public Tuesday. "A Now’ Listen!
