In the coming years those people who sold things to the average man will look back on the last two or three years as the years of golden harvest when people were so anxious to get rid of their money till they would buy anything. They are scared" by the boll weevil now. The tenant is also afraid to take all his rent m cot ton as formerly. He fears the boll weevil and is willing'to give and take with his landlord. The merchant and bankers are more disposed to get a really good look at th,e repayment than when he was satisfied to know just how many acres would be plant ed in cotton. The farmer who is harrassed by the boll weevil oj) one side and the labor shortage on the other doesnt know which way to turn. We should recognize the fact that Barnwell county can’t be half pros perous and half in increasing poverty. 1£ the bankers, merchants and land lords- are to tide over the next few years of readjustment it will be solely because they tide over'the customers of the banks and stores and the ten ants of the farms. There never was a day when in bhsiness,relations we could say “Every man for himself, and the devg take the hindmost” The real wisdom in these days is the larger fact that prosperity must em brace all classes of otlr people or it will come to none. We sink or swim, live or die together. What is really needed at this time is not so much the individual efforts of 500 farmers working together. The same would-bet-rue of the march 's ants, bankers, landlords dntk tenants. If we are to hold our own we must see that our prosperity is found in organization for mutual helpfulness. This is not the time for any one class or individual to believe that they monopoly of wisdom. v, hold a THE STATE HIGHWAY SYSTEM. In almost every industry, we are finding today a tug of war between organized labor and organized capi tal. There was a time when labor had to organize to.protect itself from the rapaeity of soulless corporations. The time has now come when capi tal must organize to protect itself from the radical tendencies that would lead organized labor. Every where we see labor using the lever of organization to force shorter .Working hours and higher wages, The employer class makes a mere bluff of holding out against labor and passes the extra expense on to the general" public. The public al ways bears the burden of both the employees’ higher wages and the em ployers’ continued profit. Both em ployer. and employee have learned that the public doesn’t want to fight for its rights but is willing to bribe both parties to be let alone: Our legislative bodies, whether state or federal, have dearly loved the organized vote which Could be sold and bought"to~the nvatr~who would stand by class legislation. Every drastic law to restrain unlawful com bination has always exempted the labor'organization from, its penalties. With all of our vaunted patriotism and Fourth of J<uly speeches It is too often true, that^ome ii^en: Ifa. congress huve caro<Ljuore for their own re- election to congress than for the gen eral welfare of the public which elects them. The general result of this policy has been to spoil a certain class until it- has grown supremely selfish. - A certain railroad president in the days of the coal robber barons used to say “the public has no rights” or rather he qualified this statement with a tang of profanity that showed his utter lack of concern for the rights of the public.It is to he ad- A southern farmer wrote" road claim agent as follows:" “My razorback strolled down your track J~*~. / -A week ago today. . - !

No Red Tape- Barley & Blatt Attorneys at Law Barnwell, S. C. In the issue of The State for Oc tober 26th., is a map of the state- » wide highway system as planned jfc the Highway Commission of South Carolina. This map should be of great interest to every believer in good roads for it shows at a glance what would be accomplished "by a - system., of roads connecting every county seat in the-state. It also helps to explain th« bill for., good roads recently set before the people of the state by Gov. R. A. Cooper, on behalf of the Highway’ Commission * as the bill, to be pushed before the coming legislature. The proposed bill has already found those who favor it and those opposing it. This bill will be before the people of Barnwell county through their representatives in^the legislature. It is therefore the privilege of a county newspaper to give its readers the facts in' 'The case as they arise.' In passing it may be said that the pro posed system is to be financed by a special tax on motor vehicles and a general tax on all other property. In the first place it may be under stood that the present..JSS^tem as planned doesn’Lmean that everympacty in the county would he helped by it. On the contrary the proposed mile age in each county ,to be helped by the bill would be as short as possible to connect the county seats. In Barnwell county this system enters the county at White Pond on* the Aiken and Williston road, and goes through Blackville where it connects with the Columbia and Barnwell road ' which mitted that the public *fias been asleep to its rights which have been traippled- under the feet of both labor.and capital. If however, these two rapacious outlaws continue to abuse the long-suffering public to' the .point where it is fully aroused, then the probabilities are that laws both wise and wholesome, will be laid up on both parties. Somewhere the public will wake up, then both capi tal and labor will experience - some thing like the small boy when his father invited him to the woodshed for a season of repentance. t ?• passed on to Allendale Another proposed link follows the Sayannah river from Augusta to Al- — lendale.
