The Open Forum is open to alL FEEDER OF RELIEF ROLLS “Parental authority should not be tranferred to political authority’’ stales ituitor Rice of the Union Daily limes in cementing upon the pro posed amendment to the Child Labour law whicn would give Congress con trol of the working hours of youth up to 18 years. The Union editor is correct. Boys who are not taught to work in their tender years are the ones who will make up the relief rolls in future years. Many a man is loafing today because he has not been TRAINED to work; he doesn’t know HOW to go about making his bread. Much of our loafing today is due to incompe tence. Fond parents often think treir children too good to work with a result that they become charges of their government when the fond pa rent is dead and gone. Let the government keep its hands out of this matter. Regulate the hours of child labor, to be sure, but let those hours be such that a good day’s work may be performed.

These things are happening while our institutions are asking for more of the taxpayer’s money. A policy will shut down. There is a lot of muddy thinking about wages. Wages are paid from profits.

Why wait for disaster? Don’t we ever learn anything? Congressman Richards is quoted as saying tuai if the Vv age-iioui bill would be against the soutn he would opppose it. away with pies and cakes and settle down to plain, plain rations. So are we all. Why is Congress trying to pass an anti-lynching bill? What has the The Springfield Repub-1 National Government to do with lican, published in Springfield, Massachusetts, carries a dispatch from tvashington under the date of November 14th saying: “Two mea sures for consideration at the special session of Congress will pit New Englanders against Southeners. In the House, New England Democrats declarea they would attempt to have the federal Wage and Hour bill pass ed; and in the Senate the anti-lynch ing bill will have New Englanders’ crimes comitted within our States ex cept certain offences within the Con stitutional powers of the nation? The bright lawyers who framed this bill must have figured it out that all men who are lynched would have run to another State and that the lynching obstructed Inter-State Commerce! We are Democrats; but this anti lynching bill Is sponsored by Northern Democrats and, if passed, will be a law writh the Democrats in full power 1 THOMAS OLIVER WEST MRS. L. C. SHEALY Dies At Home In Louisville Thomas Oliver West, 60, died at his home in Louisville, Kentucky, Friday after an illness of about four years.

Aside from the satisfaction of being “back home’’ we will have more floor space to better do our work aid to care for expansion plans we have in mind for the future. The progress of The Sun so far has been all that we could wish for; more than we had hoped for and we appre ciate the confidence so reposed. The paper is for from our ideal but we believe the “pay as you go” plan just as applicable to business as to build ing roads. We want to progress but on a solid basis. The confidence of those more than 300 people who have paid their money for subscriptions is especially grati fying. Particularly in view of the fact that many were disappointed in not receiving a daily paper to which they had subscribed in recent months. No effort has been made in the county, and very little in the city, to ward securing subscriptions. Permit for entry as second class matter will be made at once' at which time sub scriptions from the rural sections will be accepted. At present cost of mail ing a pape to a x-ural subscriber is 1H cents per copy as against free car- raige when entry as second class per mit is granted. We invite you to call upon us at the old stand. T he Sun is here to stay and to grow and to aid in every way the conunued growth of the city. FARM CALENDAR FOR DECEMBER GUIDANCE Even in December farmers must keep busy with important activities, chiefly looking toward the future, says County Agent P. B. Ezell, who lists these brief suggestions. Agronomy 1. Weather permitting, turn heavy soils that have no cover crops. 2. Put cotton under cover to prevent loss of $5.00 or more per bale. 3. Clean up briars and plum thickets around edge of fields. 4. Bed down stalls and barns with leaves, pine needles, or grain straw; the bigger the mannre pile the smaller the fertilizer bill. Horticulture 1. Prune fruit trees and bunch grapes. 2. Make garden plans, get catalogs, and order seeds before seedsmen are out of desirable varie ties. 3. If fruit trees have not al ready been set, do so this month; fall or winter planting in the South is preferable to early spring planting. 4. Prepare hotbeds for sowing in January. 6. Prune scuppernong vines to December 16. 6. Propagate grapes and ornamental deciduous shrubs from new cuttings. 7. Ter- 4. Burn twigs severed by girdlers. before trees are set. Insects and Diseases 1. Bum trash and weeds in gardens and fields to destroy hibernating in sects. 2. Bum orchard pruning to destroy shot-hole borers. 3. Plow under old stalks to destroy insects. 4. Bum twigs severed by girdlers. 5. Apply lime sulfur or oil emulsion dormant sprays after trees are com pletely dormant. Agrilultural Engineering 1. Use tractors freely for belt jobs, sawing wood, feed grinding, etc. 2. Cut in cotton stalks and other ma terial with a disc harrow. 3. Build and repair terraces now so that they may settle before the hard spring and summer rains. 4. Build or repair fences for better handling of livestock 5. Store the cultivating machinery and grease parts that are likely to rust. 6. Purchase a few needed farm tools for machinery repair work dur ing winter months. Mr. and Mrs. Holland Ruff and daughter,Miss Ruby Ruff, of the county spent Thanksgiving day in the city with the E. E. Eptings on College Street. from Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut favor immediate passage of a Wage-Hour bill which was blocked at the last session by t!ie rules committee”. Represenatives of the Northern Mils have called on Northern Cong ressmen to support the Wage-Hour hill as a part of the fight on the in dustries of the South; and as a part of the campaign to defeat the efforts of the South to attract new industries to the Southern States. What kind of political company is Congressman Richards keeping ? Is he working to build up South Caro lina; or is he working for the New England States? Much has been said about the looseness of our county government in South Carolina. Senator Henry R. Sims of Orangeburg, a studious, thoughtful man, has made some per tinent comments on conditions. Much f the criticism of County government strikes me as just a habit. Where is the trouble, or what is it? Is county government extravagant? Well, take a look at the State govern ment before you answer. Is munici pal government economical? Well, is the National government economi cal ? The truth is that we Americans bore with a large auger and talk about economy only as a subject of conversation. We don’t do anything about it and we don’t mean to do anything about it. Senator Sims thinks a county should have a “head”, a general mana ger. Why? Has the State a “head”, a general manager? No. indeed! The Governor of South Carolina, though “the Supreme Executive Authority”, hasn’t much more autho rity than the mayor of Cayce. The Legislature has shorn him of everything but tne authority to trapel about and make speeches. Even the authority conferred on the Governor by the Constitution has been taken from him as surely as Samson was weakened by the cutting of his curls. Do we want to deal with Auditors and Treasurers ? Well the State pays two-thirus of their salaries and the Governor appoints them—-after hear ing what we say in the primaries. Why a head for the County? Would he direct and control the sheriff, or the Supervisor, or the Clerk of Court—or whom ? I do not oppose reorganizing the counties, or eliminating them en tirely; I just wonder if some of the criticism is too general to be nelpful. Of course we might simplify many things without removing county lines, but changes to be worth anything should be constructively helpful, not merely changes in name. The evils in the county—if evils are there—are due to the careless prac tice of letting a delegation exercise its will in the name of the General Assembly. That is exactly what hap pens; the delegation from Greenville will allow the delegation from Charleston to pass any law for Charleston because the Charleston de legation will allow the Greenville de legislation to pass just anything for Greenville. These county bills and county laws are sometimes passed when there is not a corporal’s guard present. But it is all done in the name of the General Assembly and signed by the Governor. Of course that is not only unconstitutional, but ridiculous. If the delegation from York can do exactly as it pleases, in Columbia, in the name of the General ^ Assembly, why not let it sit in the | court house in York and legislate, in the presence of the citizens of York. Senator Sims probably knows that the Constitution as it is today per mits the General Assembly to clothe a county Board with certain legislative powers, among them powers to fix the county tax levy. (Constitu tion of South Carolina, Article 10 Section 6). It would be interesting if Mr. Sims would introduce a State wide bill empowering County Boards to legislate in public sessions at stated intervals, limiting their tax- levying to one meeting, advertised for that purpose. Then if the State wide measure seemed likely to die on the calendar Mr. Sims might put it through for Orangeburg County and so set an example. friend and kindred, eh? The State Welfare Board asks for two million, one hundred thirty-five thousand, eight hundred twenty-five dollars for the next fiscal year. That is about six hundred thousand dollars more than for this present year. Spectator frequently said last year that this would cost between two millions and four millions a year. The sponsors of this insisted that it would cost about $800,000. Well, we ha\ e just started. Raisss, raises, increases, increases, as our institutions, boards and oithers come before the Budget Commission. AH wnnt more. And in the mean time j ist look at what has happened to the business of the country! Verily we ha' e lived in a fool’s paradise for several years and only disaster can teach us anything. So the State Fair Society wants seven thousand, five hundred dollars from the State! Why, pray? If the State fair Is not earing a profit we may well suggest that it needs over hauling'. Spectator does not pre sume to sey much about a purely private enterprise, but beyond a doubt Holloway, five or six business men could be found to take ove the fair paying for the priviletre. So why ask money from the State? Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Scurry had with them Thanksgiving, Mr. and Mrs. Maurice Mosely of Columbia, Gerold Scurry, Charleston Medical college, Charleston, and J. F. Scurry. Mr. and Mr?. A. L. Nicholson, of Easley; Mr. and Mrs. W. G. Nichol son, and Mr. and Mrs. L. E. Nichol son, Greenville and Mr. and Mrs. J. J.

Martin had with them for Thanksgiving Mr. and Mrs. Furman Calvert of Aiken and Miss Francis Martin. Little Sarah Louise Holland, Col umbia, was the week end guest oif Mary Lou Werts.. Misses Bess' - e and Irene Dipner were home for the holidays. Carl Holloway and family of Green wood spent Thursday with Mrs. J. L. Well, now, here’s something about the cotton crop for this year: Ameri can crop 18,243,000 bales; total cot ton available this year 51,000,000 hales; world consumption for 1936 30,000,000 bales. So where are we? TROOP ONE The regular weekly meeting of Troop One was held on Monday night at 7:30 o’clock in their cabin on the Pomaria road. The meeting was opened with the scout oath and the pledge to the flag. Professor Traberf a form <>r scout master of the troop gave us an excellent talk on Forestry. During this talk h6 also showed the members of the troop different in struments that a forester uses, the two mr.st interesting were an Incre ment borer and a twenty bladed knife. By means of the first we de termined the age of a pine tree in front of the cabin. One of the main points that he stressed was that of the conservation of our forests and also the prevention of forest fires. The meeting was then closed with the singing of taps and the scoutmasters benediction. The members of the troop w : sh to express their apprecia tion to Mr. H. B. Wells for admitting them free to the picture that was shown on Monday night. Forrest Summer, Jr. KENDALL MAN HERE John L. Lewis is said to insist that Services At Mt.
