to keep fire during the freeze, when
the papers told Us of deaths from
cold in some crowded cities. A
good many of opr people have but
chered hogs, and if there is not as
many big Christmas dinners as
formerly, we did not need them.
Many of the needy colored families
have received Red Cross flour and
clothing and are thankful for it.
Instead of growling and complain
ing we should raise our voices in
thanksgiving to God for His bless
ings. Some in our community
found pleasure doing without

World’s Cotton Crop
Is The Lowest In
Past Five Years
WASHINGTON, Jan. I .-“-World
cotton production for the 1932-33
season was estimated Friday by the
department of agriculture at 24,-
000,000 bales, the smallest in five
years.
This is 200,000 below the Decem
ber 8 estimate and 3,500,000 under
last year’s ferop. . *
Foreign production was estimated
at 11,300,000 bales, which is 900,000
above last season and 600,000 below
1930-31.
Cotton textile mill activity in the
United States anc} most of the im
portant foreign countries was said
to have been apparently maintain
ed during November at the improv
ed levels reached a few months
earlier.
Many companies, however, have
had some difficulty in disposing of
their output' or in maintaining
their unfilled orders.
Cotton textile mills, in the‘Unit
ed States, the department said con
tinued to operate at high levels
during November with total cotton
consumption „ the largest for any
month since April, 1932 although
sales of the manufactured products
were less than output.
The high rate of activity was said
to have been maintained on the
basis of large orders received early
in the fall.
The consumption of domestic
mills during November was 504,-
000 bales compared with 502,000
in October and 425,000 a year ago.
Total consumption for the four
months ending November 30 was
1,900,000 bales, an increase of
124,000 over the same period last
season.

Old Plates Good
Until January 16
W. V. Sutherland, director of the
'tate motor vehicle division an
nounced Monday that although the
law requires 1933 license plates hr*
be displayed January 1, motorisl*
can use their old plates until Jan
uary 16 without arrest by highway
patrolmen.
A penalty o£ 50 cents is added,
however, to license plates now be
ing sold. s . *'
“The state law,” Mr. Sutherland
added, “says the new plates mudfe
be displayed January 1, but state
police have been instructed not 1a»
make arrests until after January IV
since it will take us that long to
make a complete and thorough
check of licenses sold.”
He warned that South Carolin
ians displaying old plates in anoth
er state are subject to arrest aft*
fines and might be held up until 4a
license is purchased.
