Many Autos License Plates

Columbia, Feb. 8.-To date the
South Carolina highway commission
has issued 1921 licenses to 49,657
automobiles, 1856 trucks, ten trail
ers, 2ss motorcycles and 2,152 deal
ers, according to figures tabulated
last night by w. w. Goodman, chief
of the motor vehicle division.
These figures show that by using
the 1920 total registration there are
yet 1880 automobiles and trucks
not registered and therefore nearly
that number of people in the State
who have apparently violated the
law. The law says that the licenses
must be procured between January
1 and February 1, yet a large num-
Der Of motor vehicle owners have.
failed to apply for licenses.
AL applications for Licenses have
been filled, Mr.. Goodman said and
the excuse usually given that the
owner has sent in his application,
but can't get his metal plate will not
apply in this case.
In addition to the SO, $3.50 automo-
biles and trucks SO far unregistered
670 motorcycle owners have also
failed to apply for tags.
The total amount collected from
the 1921 registrations so far is
s472,583.26.
Highway officials are hoping all
motor vehicle owners will send in
their applications at once as they
are laying themselves liable to fines
and Jail sentences by procrastina-
ton.

WORK FOR FARMERS
FULLY EXPLAINED

Washington, Feb. 15.-Coopera-
ton between the department of ag-
riculture and county farm bureau
units has been possible because
these organizations place no restric-
ton on membership, DR.. A. c. True,
director of the states relations con-
ference of the department, today
told the house banking and currency
committee. DR.. True appeared be-
fore the committee which is invest-
eating some aspects of the activi-
ties of farm organizations to reply
to charges by the National grange
and other farmers organizations
that the department of agriculture
was aiding the American Farm Bu>
reau federation.
Director True denied that the de-
partment was giving any assistance
to the American Farm bureau fed
Grafton as a national organization
but asserted that through its demon
stration and county agents it had
worked with local units of the fed
GRAFTON.
The country farm bureau units
from the viewpoint of the agricul-
ure department Director True said
are not exclusive, wish to work in
harmony with other farmers or
ganizations and meet the desires Of
farmers who object to the secret
provisions Of the National grange
and the National Farmers union.
Organizations Of . general char
acter such as the farm bureau locals
Mr.. True testified, were a valuable
aid TO the county agents in their ex-
tension work. Frequently, he added
the farm bureaus contributed to the
support of the county agents who
are selected by the state agricuitu-
raj colleges subject to the approval
Of the authorities.

SCORE OF MURDER
CASES PENDING

Anderson, Feb. 15.-The largest
number of cases which have ever
been disposed of in the history of
Anderson county was the result of
last weeks work in the court of
general sessions over which Judge
T. S. Sease presided. Records in the
Office of Clerk of Court Taylor
show that so odd defendants were
arraigned for trial and more than
40 cases disposed of during that
time.
Of these cases, most have been in
dictments on charges Of violations
of the national prohibition act; sew
eral cases of assault and battery and
a few of larceny were heard. No
murder cases were begun during the
past week, owing 10 arrangements
made by Solicitor Harris at the
opening of the present terms.
A score of murder cases have
been docketed in the clerks office
and will be brought to trial begin
ming next week. Several of these
cases were continued from the last
session of the court of general ses-
sions. However, there have been nu-
merous additions to the list since
that time. 1t is the hope of the court
that the docket will be cleared dur
ing this term and with this idea in
view, Solicitor Harris has arranged
for an additional week.
