and high winds of late have
BEEN mighty rough on young
plants. However the farmers
have taken the setback in
stride and are going about the
necessary replanting. To be a
successful farmer one must be
a rugged, persistent sort OF
person. 1t is tough going though
to have a nice stand Of plants
one day and see them nipped
by frost and strong winds over
night. But the old saying still
stands good When you fail,
try, try, again"
Over in Florence and Darl-
ington counties the folks re-
port a lot of wind damage and
say the cotton crop must be
replanted. | was wondering
about all those fine cattle they
grow along the Big Pee Dee.
Those people have some fine
pastures there.
One fellow over in the Nor
TN section Of Horny County
was painting corn the other
day when ! happened along.
In the course of our CONVERSE
ton / asked if the land there
grew good corn. He replied
Brother, when you plant corn
here you have to get out of the
way fast, Then when you start
to gather it you need step
ladders" That is good land, I'll
agree. That is nearly as good
as TIE mountaineer who plant
ed his pumpkins on the hill
side above his home SO he
could stand in his doorway and
shoot them off the vine so they
could roll down into the yard.
Several days ago | was visit
ing with Mr.. Bert Jernigan
who lives in the Mollie section
when We became aware OF a
weird noise. After looking
through the mouse ana NOT
finding the source OF the noise,
we came out into the yard and
found Mrs. Jcrnigan looking
too. The noise persisted and we
kept hunting. Finally We found
some oees hao gotten between
the metal root ana Sheetlns.

Health Setup
In D. c. Is Hit

The District Health Depart
ment falls far short of being a
model for the Nation, DR.. Wal
lace M Yater. chairman of the
District Medical Society Execu-
tive Board said yesterday. He
said this is Shocking"
DR.. Yater referred to COM
mentS made by DIR. Leroy z.
Burney. new surgeon general
of the United States Public
Health Service. in a telecast
last Sunday.
Under questioning by report
ers. DR.. Burney said the District
Health Department is definitely
not in the upper third and prob
ably not even in the upper half
of departments in the States
and territories.
DR.. Yater said District Medical
Society spokesman have been
saying this for many years.
He added that the Executive
Board agreed with DR.. Burney's
later statements that no individ-
ual is responsible for the present
situation. However. he added.
now, when a change Of admin
istration of the Health Depart
ment is about to take place, is
an opportune time to give the
incoming director Of health an
opportunity to build on a sound
foundation. This will require suf-
f1cient funds and the authority
to reorganize the department as
the director thinks best"
He was referring to the fact
that DR.. Daniel L. Seckinger,
present director. leaves ONCE at
the end Of this year.
DR.. Yater said Washington
doctors and the Medical Society
are ready to cooperate with the
Board of Commissioners and the
new director Of health to bring
the Department Of Health up to
higher standards.
"Of all places" he said, the
Nations Capital should be an
example for the rest Of the
country"

dered his license, registration
card and tags following an order
based on the outstanding judg-
ment.
Mr. Harris does not know
where to find the holder of the
unpaid judgment and the judg-
ment now has expired after the
statutory six years. the suit con-
tends. Traffic authorities, how
ever, refuse to permit him to
apply for restoration of his driv-
ing privileges. the papers assert.
A similar experience is related
for Mr. Klein in connection with
a judgment on February IL.
1888. also resulting from an au-
tomobile accident.
The plaintiffs ask the court to
order the District authorities to
permit them to apply for their
driving privileges and to treat
them as other applicants, with
a view to regaining their right
to drive.
Mr.. Harris is represented by
Rex K. Nelson and Mr..
Klein by Josiah Lyman.

First victim was Louis Gritz.
about so. who owns and lives at
his store at 534 Eighth street
Sc. He said colored bandit
pistol-whipped him with a toy
gun before taking $462.
The other was Howard Sig

Mr.. Gritz said the hold-up
man, about IS years old, pur-
chased a $2.95 khaki shirt and
started to pay for it with q IS
bill.
Hit on Head
Mr.. Gritz said when he turned
to open the register, the bandit
hit him on the left side Of his
head with the toy gun. Then he
said, the bandit twisted his arm
behind him and threw him to
the floor behind the counter.
While the holdup man was
rifling the cash register, Mr..
Gritz complained, the robber
kneeled on him and kicked him
when he resisted.
In his haste to leave, the BAN
it left behind his toy gun and
khaki shirt.
Mr.. Sigmund told police he
was amazed at the efficiency Of
the holdup man who robbed him.
He was the most businesslike
man / ever saw. 1t was all over

The store owner said he was
just closing shop for the night
when the man. also colored and

City Pushes Registration
For Withholding Tax

District income tax admins
traitors are concerned because
only 10000 employers-between
5000 and 10000 fewer than ex-
pected-have registered under
the amended law requiring with
holding of District income taxes
starting tomorrow.
r. J. Durham, administrator
of the Income and Franchise
Tax Division, urged that the en-
ployer be advised if city income
tax is not withheld from a resi-
dents paycheck starting tomor-
row.
Taking the view that some
employers may still not know
that they are required to begin
Withholding District income
taxes. tax officials intend to fol-
low a program of education and
advice"
Penalties Cited
But in cases Of willful failure
to withhold the tax, the District
is armed with several weapons.
The maximum criminal penalty
for willful evasion is a $4,000
fine and a year in Jail.
In addition, there is a possible
penalty of IS per cent of the
amount of the taxes. The en-
ployer is personally liable for the
amount of the taxes he is re-
quired to withhold, and the Dis
trict can file a lien on his prop
erty.
Employers who have no Dis
trict resident employees are not
required to register under the
withholding system. If they ex-
pect to be taking on employees
living in the city, however, tax
officials say it is advisable for
them to register.
All Employers Included
The withholding requirement
applies to all employers of Dis
