TALK ON HONEY HEARD BY CLUB Kiwanians Told How to De tect Counterfeit Bills by U. S.

Kiwanian D. Q. Smith, who ar ranged the program, presented the speaker, who spoke on the twin dangers of counterfeit mon ey and government check forgery. Mr. Gold explained how to de*- tect counterfeit bills, coins, gov ernment checks and described the portraits which appear on bills of the different denominations. In case of receiving a counter feit bill from a stranger, a person should call police, delay the passer of the bill under pretext, avoid argument and write down a description of the passer should he leave, the speaker advised. In discussing government checks, he said that anyone cashing such a check should know the payee, compare his signature with the endorsement or require satisfac tory identification. President L. S.

WiUkie gave the nation's farmers today his pledge that "If elected Presi dent, I will not away any of the benefits gained by ag riculture in the past few years."

Resigns to Vote For Willkie It is a rather strange sight in South Carolina to see a Demo cratic candidate for any office resigning in order that he may vote for the Republican candi date for President. But rather than vote for a third term for President Roose velt and being free to cast a vote for Wendell Willkie, the O. O. P. nominee, Lionel K. Legge, well known Charleston attorney, has announced that he has with drawn his candidacy in the Dem ocratic primary for the State House of Representatives. He said in part: "As a Democrat, I have the right to vote in the general elec tion according to my own con science and judgment, without dictation from the national Dem ocratic convention. The surrend er of that right is too dear a price to pay for the privilege of run ning for a local office on the Democratic ticket. I therefore withdraw my name as candidate." In South Carolina Democratic candidates must pledge them selves to support state and na tional candidates of the party.
