Burglars Keep
Trying But Get
Nowhere Twice

LATTA - Burglars persevered
but failed when putting their
skills against two safes at Latta
early last Tuesday.
When Joe Abbott opened the
Bert's Mobil Station, where High
ways 30l and sol meet, at 6 a. M,
he discovered burglars had broken
a plate glass window.
The intruders, officers learned,
used n floor jack to move the safe
from the office to the grease room.
There, they tried to saw the hinges
off the safe. That failed.
A block away, with hack saw
and tire tools from the service
station, they stopped at the Hughes
Supermarket. The lock withstood
their attack, SO they pried open
the door. Then they sawed one
hinge off the safe and nearly saw
ed off the other. A final assault
on the safe with tire tools as prizes
failed to force the door.
A deputy sheriff was summoned
by report from a man who lives
back of the market that suspicious
characters were in the vicinity.
He and policeman investigated
and disclosed the burglars frus-
trated attempts.

SPARTANBURG - Twenty-one
members of the South Carolina
cotton industry will represent the
state at the sixteenth annual meet
ing OF the National Cotton Council

housemen, merchants, cottonseed
crushers and Spinners at the At
lanta meeting, will take part in

crease efficiency and step up sales
promotion.
In announcing the delegates
who will represent South Carolina,
Mr.. Montgomery asserted that "the
cotton industry has come a long
way since the Councils inception
in 1888. The quality of cotton pro-
ducts, the efficiency of the in
dustry and the acceptance of the
products of lint and seed have all
climbed to a level where cotton
now enjoys a unique advantage
and a real opportunity to score
new gains. However, it must be
stressed that a redoubled effort
is needed if cotton is to consolidate

these tough, competitive times an

No modern poet is writing with
more expert craftsmanship than
Leonie Adams. In Poems: A Sc

Adams has made a selection from
her previous books and has added
a group of more recent poems.
Here is lyric poetry at its best, in

ones:

Other Poets

Three fresh voices are heard in
a single volume, "POets of Today"
(Scribner). The poets are Harry
Duncan with some good, solid
verse of his own and some really
distinguished translations from
Rilke, Apollinaire and Dante;
Murray Moss with some Far East
inspired verse which has the ring
of good. tourist Orientalism and
which is fairly attractive, and May
Swenson, who resorts too much to
type arrangements to be wholly
effective. Some of Miss Swenson's
verse-notably ''He That None Can
Capture"-has real imagination
and high animal spirit. OF the
three she is far and away the best.
An air of exhibitionism mars
much of the work of William Hull
whose Selected Poems 1942-1952"
Brigant Press). This is self-con-
scious modernism
Far away in mood is "WidOw's
Walk" (Rinehart). book of poems
by Faith Baldwin, the fabulouSly
successful novelist. Miss Baldwin's
poems were the direct outgrowth
of the death of a loved one. They
are poems of sentiment and solace.
AS such they are very effective.
