MR. ABE VIGODSKI, ESQ.,
FIRES TERRIBLE BARRAGE;
j
Editor of The Herald and Ne\\*s:
Newberry, S. C.,
Dear Sir:
T rn-iL-ir?c fVin vaiiv r>Tjr>?>?- nf fVi?> !
v t ai vi. .m tv vm yz*?>\,? v *. ?uv j
8th inst. my attention vv is drawn to j
one of your editorials which had aj
singular heading?"Tom Waison is!
Right." Curious to know whether j
that could be possible. I read it. I j
was not at all surprised to find out i
that Tom Watson was still the samej
grotesque creature and unbalanced
ass that he had always, been, but I j
was keenly disappointed to see your;
paper sanctioning some of the senti- j
? ? ^ t ^ mi i-n . t. n ? /] Kit lim IT !
iiif ii>% uicji it uv-uiuiiicu, ttnu u?> t
of comment, applauding: a perfectly i
as.sinine speech.
The whole burden of your edito- J
rial, and the portion reprinted from}
the Anderson Daily Mail, seems to be:
that the federal government is becoming
too centralized and imperial;;
that federal control of the roads, asi
proposed by the Townsend bill, and
federal control of the schools, which \
you look upon as a natural sequence,!
are infringements of state sovreignty;'
-' J j , t i j _ l J !
and tnat you regret tnar me gouu omi
doctrine of state sovrc-ignty" is dead.*
What is meant by the statement
that the government i? becoming too
imperial, is very vague and indefinite, j
The word sounds good and is appro-;
priately used, because, somehow, it:
fit? nic^y into a demagogical speech,!
but as it is used it conveys 110 thought ,
and has no meaning. The federal
government cannot usurp any of the
functions of the sovereign states unless
it has power to do so under the
constitution, and if it exercises those
powers it is no more imperial man ix ?
was when those powers were granted!
to the federal government by the'
framers of the constitution. The j
grant of a legal power sanctions the'
exercise of that power. If the federal
government has become imperial.}
it must be considered that the framers
of the constitution intended it to i
be so, because they gave it the power!
to become so. One wonders' whether j
Senator Watson insulted Thomas Jef- j
'ferson. by naming his vitriolic sheet!
"The Jeffersonian,"' after him, be-1
cause Jefferson was one of the chief i
framers of the constitution.
Your main objection to the Town-:
send bill is states rights again, and the I
fact that you would not have anv-;
thing to say about how your money :
should be spent. How much have you j
had to cay about the thousands that1
the state sank into roads that remain-!
ed impassable in spite of the enor- j
mous expenditures? It was not until
we got federal appropriations for'
road building that permanent highway]
building began to any extent. It is j
not a question of state rights or now;
little you will have to say about the'
money that wiK be expended, but the
question is whether* the proposed bill
iwiil eliminate the mud ditches, which]
are, by a misnomer, called toads. The |
only objection that you could pos-i
sibly have against the proposed measure
is that you would be deprived of
a favorite subject for editorial com-;
ment during the fall and winter;
months. I. e., recommending me
of'the split log drag.
What objection is there to federal
control of schools? Are you afraid
that South Carolina will lose the en-;
viable position of leading the states.
in, the percentage of illiterates?
You bemoan the fact that state sov-j
ereignty is dead. Would that the ^
brand of state sovereignty that Sen-^
ator Watson preaches, and which you
so greatly admire, were buried so
deep as to be incapable of resurrec-,
tion. Mr. Watson gets up in the sen-;
ate and "declares by the eternals'',
that "there is not enough gold in the,
world to buy the soul of the South,"'
and you describe this as "Wing "like;
the patriotism of the good old davs.''j
If yen delight in such demagogic gasconade.
then the braying of a jackass
must indeed be music to your ears.'
By crying out "state rights" and
"state sovereignty" and saying that;
the soul of the South cannot be
bought, Mr. Watson seek-5 to create
a pathos. He wants to cast the gla-.'
mour of sentiment around his views(
in order to make them privileged and
protect them from criticism. Hut pa- j
thos is unfavorable to truth and oueht
to be disregarded, ar.rl a real patriot ,
will ask: "Who is seeking to buv the'
* i
soul of the South? Why all this bunk
and these chauvinistic utterances (
when there was no occasion for it?";
If our politicians would cut out all
this oratory and rhetoric, and if they
must speak, then say something about:
state duties, instead of state rights,J
the South would he benefitted much I
more. And if you, as a member of i
the fourth estate and as a creator of
public opinion, would condemn such'
Speeches, instead of praising them,'
ycu would be rendering South Car-;
olina a far greater service. As for(
me, I would rather entrust the feder-'
al government w;ch the solution of
the problems of road building and education,
than to await their solution !
' at the hands of those disgusting poli-'
ticians who seek to ride into officej

RESERVE BOARD I
WANTS INQUIRY:
HARDING ASKS CONGRESS TO:
INVESTIGATE
Chairman of House Banking and
Currency Committee Introduces
Resolution to Comply
Washington, July 19.?Governor!
Harding of the federal reserve board'
with the approval of Secretary Meilon |
has asked congress to investigate the!
operations of the board and the re-j
serve system and Chairman McFad-j
den of the house banking and cur-i
rency committee late today intro
duced a resolution to carry out the request.
The investigation proposed would
embrace every detail of the activities
of the board, its 12 banks and its
branch banks over "the period of deflation"
or about the last 18 months.
according to Mr. McFadden. He saict,
if the house approved of his program
he would tackle the job immediately,
taking in what he described as a
"mess of charges and accusations of
discrimination" coming mostly from
the South and West.
"There have been numberless attacks
on the board and the banks," he
said. "It is my idea that if there is
truth in them, appropriate legislation
should follow and if they are groundless
then the board most ccrtainly is
entitled to a clean bill. At any rate,
+Tio nonnlA shmild know the truth."
Mr. McFadden said that Iiis resolution
proposed to bring forth an explanation
of the board's rulings, its
interpretation of the laws under
which it operates and the methods it
was employing in dealing with member
banks.
The par clearance question, a subject
of litigation by Southern bankers
who oppesd par clearance, is another
phase which Mr. McFadden said un
doubtedly would be considered.
Governor Harding's letter to Mr.
McFadden touched on recent speeches
by John Skelton Williams, former
comptroller of the currency and former
member of the reserve board, attacking
the board's policy and actions.
Mr. Harding stated he believed
that in view of Mr. Williams*
former official position his statement
should be gone into and it \yas underfViof

Speaking of this world famous'
evangelist who is coming to Newber- j
ry, the Index-Journal has the follow-;
ing to say in connection with his visit!
to Greenwood Thursday:
Mr. Jones toured South Carolina j
last January, and it is said that at j
practically every place where he;
spoke, hundreds of people were turn-1
ed away on account of the lack of ev?n
ctanrlincr room. He has just com-;

pleted a four weeks meeting in his1
honie city of Montgomery, Alabama,!
where the crowds were turned away
1 + t
by the three and four thousands at;
the night sessions, and where the day?|
sessions were aitended with not less j
than four thousand at one of. the j
meetings.
The wonderful Methodist Centenary
celebration held last year at Co- ;
lumbus, Ohio, bestowed probaWy the1
biggest honor that his own denomina-!
tion could have bestowed, when they I
selected Mr. Jones out of ali America i
to give the daily evangelistic mes-!
sages. He is president of the, I^ter-j
r}enomin.?Hon?l Evangelistic associa- i
tion, of which "Billy" Sunday is vicepresident.
He is also director of evangelism
for the South Carolina Sunday
school association.
The purpose of the meeting Thurs-!
day will be to inspire, the Sunday
school workers and others to greater
activity in winning souls for .the Savior.
Mr. Jones will be accompanie-d on:
this trip by Rev. M. S. Woodson, who :
will loa^ tho sincinp-, Mr. Woodson!
