1ne ultimate passage by the house
OF the Sheppard Barnett bad check"
was foreshadowed when the house.
after considerable discussion OF the
measure pro and con. sent the bill
to third reading by an overwhelming
majority. The one test vote taken
showed majority OF 75 to "a favor.
Ing the measure. and the bill is ex.
pected to encounter little, II any, op-
position when 1t comes up for third
reading.
The bill. which was first introduced
last year with the idea Of supplying
teeth to the check law Of the state,
provides that 1t shall be unlawful
and felonious for any person in his
own name, or as an attorney in fact
for any other person or persons or
as an officer or agent of any corpora
ton or unincorporated association,
society or company, to obtain money
or other property of any kind or ma
ture whatever, with fraudulent intent
by means of check, draft or order,
OF which such person is maker or
drawer, or which, though he is not
maker or drawer, he, with like intent.
utters or delivers or aids or abets
another to utter or deliver. II such
check, draft or order is not paid by
the drawee, the person making, draw
ing or uttering the same shall ba
deemed guilty Of the larceny of such
money or property or thing of value
obtained on such credit, and the fact
that such maker or drawer did not
have on deposit with the bank, per-
son, firm or corporation upon which
such check, draft or order is drawn.
sufficient funds to pay the same in
full when presented. shall, as against
the maker or drawer of such check,
draft or order, be prima facie evil
dence OF fraudulent intent, and any
person so convicted shall be punished
by fine or Imprisonment in the dis.
cretion OF the court. Provided that
II such check, draft or order be paid,
with costs and interest, upon notice,
or at any time previous to the trial
or examination of such person. or il
such person be not tried or examined,
II such check, draft or order be paid
before indictment by grand jury,
no such presumption shall arise:
Provided, further, that IL the amount
Of the check, draft or order be less
than $40, the offense may be triable
within the jurisdiction of the magisl
trate's court"
Prospects for an adjournment of
the general assembly within the con-
stitutional 40 days look rather slim
at present with the senate legislative
mill grinding exceedingly slow in COM
parissn to the house. Those in touch
with the inner workings of the as-
sembly seem to think that several ex-
ira weeks will be necessary unless
more gas Is turned on" and the mill
speeded up. One official said that
IL much more speed was not shown
within the next week he was con-
vinced the two bodies would be here
until April 1. That, however, is prob
ably little far-fetched.

Emphasizes Duty Of Grand jury.

Anderson. - The court Of general
sessions opened here with Judge Town
send presiding. In charging the grand
jury Judge Townsend told them that
thew were the biggest factor In law
enforcement, that they were the SUI
pervisors OF the law and that they
should not hesitate to heck lawless-
ness. The responsibility, primarily.
of enforcing the law in the county
rests on the grand jury. In the matter
Of violation Of the prohibition law the
judge interpreted that also, telling the
grand jury that 1t was against the law
OF South Carolina to manufacture and
sell liquor or transport it or store 1t
for Illicit sale. "Of course" said the
EIdge, "if you have liquor in your pos
session legally acquired for medicinal
purposes you are within the law and
II you so wish you may use it for bev-
erage. You are allowed to give your
friend drink, but you are not per-
mitted to sell any to him." = !,

BIG Campaign IN C0tLETOR
Hold Meeting to Organize Farmers o.
the County Into Cooperative !
Association.

Walterboro.-Ths concluding meet
ing OF the campaign to organize the
farmers Of the county into a coopera-
tive marketing association was held
at Walterboro. There was also the
committees appointed from every sec
ton OF the county for the purpose Of
adopting a contract and launching q
membership signing drive. The com.
mittee met following public meeting
and spent several hours in discussing
the money phases OF the organization,
finally deciding upon a form of con-
tract used in the tobacco growers
campaign. This contract includes all
the products Of the farm, except cot
ton, and will endeavor to find ready
and profitable market for everything
the farmer has to sell.
The campaign for securing members
will begin and will cover the county.
1t is hoped that several hundred farm
ers at least will be secured, although
the committee decided upon organic
ing with a membership of only 100
farmers. Much enthusiasm is shown
over the plan, which is heralded by
the people of the county as a means to
their financial salvation. They feel
that unitedly they can cope with the
present situation and that through 1t
conditions will be vastly improved.
One Of the features following the
campaign is the organization of COM
munity clubs to handle the problems
affecting the different sections of the
county. At Smoaks a meeting was
held and club organized with a large
membership. At once plans were set
on foot to plant certain crops, among
these being potatoes and beans on
commercial scale. F. j. Berry was
chosen president OF this club and d. e.
Sauls, secretary and treasurer.
But for the valuable assistance rem
dered by w. w. Long, state agents.
l.. r. Lewis, S. D. Sims, S. E. Evans
and County Agent Kinsey, 1t would
have been hard to have aroused the
interest which has been shown. They
have attended the meetings over the
county, preaching diversification and
organization. The county is aroused
as never before as to the necessity of
achieving results along these lines.

Charleston.-Those South Carolina
.weet potatoes sent to England on the
steamship Wekika, 1000 sample car
PRODUCING this delectable product to
English palates. have evidently made
a favorable impression, as cable
gram was received by the Carolina
company from their agent at Liver
pool asking for quantity quotations on
this vegetable, said to be virtually un-
known among the Britishers. The
sending Of the sample for judicious
distribution was the idea of the South
Carolina Sweet Potato association,
the Carolina company cooperating, as
also did the Southern railway, which
furnished booklet OF recipes for each
box. 1t is believed that a profitable
market for the sugary spuds of this
state will be developed through this
enterprising plan.
AS result the establishing of the
Clyde-Southern fast freight service,
which has been in operation since
January 10, 1921, the increase in this
particular class OF freight during the
calendar year 1921 amounted to
more than 300 per cent in excess of
the movement through Charleston by
Clyde Line-Southe.n railway in 1920.
Last year 7,161 cars were moved as
against 1,735 cars the year before,
an increase of 5.426. The spread of
the plans popularity has made nee
essary to include several points Of
destination not originally provided
for.
Charleston Post No. 10, American
Legion, hopes to have National Com.
mander MacNider visit Charleston
during his present tour of the South,
arrangements having been made to in.
yite him here and to entertain him
handsomely. Should he come, State
Commander Lumpkin and other state
officers will be invited to greet him.

versity, and had had a romance with
a prominent classmate. After our en-
gagement was broken we were not on

and collided with some one. / in
stinctively threw out my arms, and he
did likewise.
OF course, the lights went on sud-
denly, and found myself embraced

pretty appearance. 1t Is true, but un-
fortunately In radio. pretty is as
pretty does. and 1t takes more than
any artistic appearance to do the
work.
One Of the so-called advantages of
the cage is that high tension corona
losses are reduced to q minimum. II
the amateur Is using undamped oscil-
lations, that Is, using vacuum tube
transmitter. he need not be concerned
about corona losses. However, II
damped or spark transmitter is used,
the cage antenna will be advisable.
Also uniform current distribution Is
secured by the use Of the cage an
tenna. This II not the case with the
nattop antenna. where the currents
are not equal, the outer carrying more
current than the inner wires. From
the foregoing Il may be said that the
cage antenna Ii to be preferred to the
dat-top only because Of the reduction
Of the high-voltage corona losses and
because of the uniform current distri-
button.
1t has been shown that antennae have
certain well defined directional char
acteristics. The one having the most
clearly defined characteristics is the
loop antenna shown In Figure 8.
In actual practice very satisfac-
tory type Of loop antenna for recep-
tional purposes consists of eight turns
Of No. 18 wire, spaced one-eighth, and
wound on frame SO inches square.
The fundamental wave length Of this
antenna Is approximately 1S0 meters.
Obviously loop antennae need not
be square. They may be triangular,
circular, or any closed shape, and
their linear dimensions are not nee
essarily fixed. Due to their small
Dimensions, the amount of energy
picked up by them is also small, and
therefore they should be used only
with several stages Of radio frequency
ampliication before the detector. See
Figure 8, in which the loop II shown
with only detector.
In the hook-up, l. IL the loop anten-
ma, and forms the inductancs In the

A loop antepna In this manner has
extremely sharp directional character
istics and receives signals only from
Stations In the plane Of the loop. That

direction Of travel Of the wave sent
out By the transmitter.
Many good circuits have recently
been devised whereby loop antennae
arc used with success IN eliminating
static interference. This elimination
II accomplished partly By the small
linear dimensions u the loop and

ANTENNAE OF OTHER
TYPES ARE DESCRIBED
Cage, Loop and Umbrella Forms
Have Each Certain Advan-
tages and Special Uses.

Some Of the newer generation Of
rsdio amateurs may have been led to
think that the cage antenna Is more
efficient than other forms. One Of
the arguments advanced for their use
is that they have been adopted by the
United States navy on all ships. There
Is a good reason for the adoption Of
this type Of antenna for the navy, but
1t is not because of the great efficiency
Of the cage type. In fact, the only rea-
son the cage type is used at all In the
navy Is because of the fact that 1t
would be difficult for an enemy shell
to carry away the antenna with a
single shot.
There seems to be good deal of
misinformation on the merits of the
cage-type antenna. They make a

partly by It's inherent characteristics.
One Of the most important apDll-
cations of the loop antenna II as q
radio compass, for ship, airplane and
submarine. BY means of the Bellini.
Tosi system, in which two single wire
antennae, erected at right angles to
each other, are used. the exact bear
ing of distant transmitter may be
determined. This system Is the one
used by the numerous naval radio
compass stations along the sea coast.
The umbrella-type antenna. as illus
trated In Figure 10. receives Its name
from its general shape and similarity
to an umbrella. Referring to the fig-
ure 1t will be seen that this type Of
antenna consists Of a number of wires
connected at the upper end Of YER
tical mast and radiating from this
point In several directions. The lead
In is taken from the central point OF
the antenna system.
In general, length of the radiating
wires or cribs" of the umbrella Is
about two-thirds the total height Of
the mast, although this dimension IL
not fixed, and a different ratio may
be employed with success. AS can be
seen in the illustration, insulators are
placed about one-third of the way from
the top of the RIB" wires, so that the
actual antenna will be some distance
above the ground. The overall length
Of the RIB" wires, including the guy
wire, should be several times as long
as the mast is high. This guy wire

or to q peg driven into the ground.
Due to the fact that the wires Of
the umbrella-type antenna cover q
large area Of ground. the capacity of
the antenna is very large. The total
inductance. however, Is only a little
greater than that Of the vertical por-
tion Of the antenna.
The umbrella-type antenna has not
