W ? WHY MOT THE TRUTH? .Samuel Gompers, the great labor loader says: ? /The action of corporations that t*da# 4*y off thousand of men. is plfclag leas than a tremendous indictment of management and a hein<aar crime against a people in need of #wj possible ounce of production. JjPfeat is needed above anything else tadsr is continuous operation of indtmtry with a fairness and honesty "aid intelligence upon the part of emgtoyeru that will make continuous Jsmiuctlon possible." Ve do not know how Mr. Gompers diwdi politically, but Mr. Gompers 4s a wise man,and he knows which "J|fcty is responsible for the industrial troubles that always precede a jresidentlal election. That is an old tjdcJk of the republi$ans. They own rtjawi of the large manufacturing jlilAts, and what does the loss of a few thousand dollars in dividends sBnount to if they succeed in dissatistfbag the labor vote? This is in a ... aaose part of'the campaign expense, Aot it greatly exceeds the $15,000,_= Sugar Profiteers Frightened. ETCH " * 'a Consnmers in Dillon and elsewhere will be interested in Tuesday's press 4fcpatches which predict a substantial drop in the price of sugar in the mtxt few days.. The prediction is ftased on appeals received at the derailment of justice from large dealetE asicing for* protection against the US losses they will have to take. ! But the department is ignoring the | appeals. The dealers caught with bigj jatocks took a chanoe when they hoardad sugar in the attempt to force the i jprlee to higher levels, and now tnai they have been caught in a trap of (hair own getting their appeals for &elp come with poor grace. According to the bureau of crop estimate*, the elleged shortage which wmli prices skyrocketing is a figment at the Imagination. The shortage Itmrpr really existed. While the public was paying 80 and 35 cents a pound Mac the! stocks on hand in the Halted States were larger by 17 per arai. than at any time in the last j three years. ; -Talk of a sugar shortage induced public to buy in large Quantities, iuid individual families unwittingly bfecacve hoarders and helped the speculators in their plans to force the | trice up to new high levels. j The speculator^ are not deserving Of help from the governo^nt or any Other source. They went into the game* Ad profiteer on a necessity and if, as the government predicts, the price of hugar drops to 15 cents a pound, they phould take their niedicincwithout a Whimper. o? THK STATE AUGUST 17, 1920. ' I : wimt a Farmer Says of Senator SnikhJ and His Candidacy. Mr. Editor:?Please give me space j AO AJiie<a lew worus reiauves iu mv .nomination of the successor to Sena?to E. 1). Smith in the United States Senate. Without disparaging the .merof the three good lawyers opposing J .Senator Snuih?such as may be^ found ! /at miost any bar in the state?I wish ' to urge the importance of reelecting1 "Cotton" Smith on his record. Impossible for me to enumerate in i litis Article one one-hundredth of the things tloue by him as our senator j for the whole people, and especially thcvfarmers and other laboring clas- j :?*. file was once president of the. <Qrtton Growers' Association and was' wory active in exerting his every ef-j fart to increase the price of cotton. I .After becoming our senator, he se-j COBB* the passage of cotton futures' act, preventing the depression ofi ptinee Jb?y Che tender of valueless cot-' im on contracts; cooperated in the! standardization of cotton grades; J .Comparison of grades; offered reso-j lotion to ascertain how much Ameri-. iww cotton is needed abroad and the beet methods of supplying it; secur-, **2 lEnvernment cotton reports, and thej ceneus ilepartment to furnish number J ut baies ppinnable and unspinnablej totwu on hand; secured appropriation <d?tqK the war of a fund of 20 mil. dins dtoilars for te distribution of nitrate of soda among farmers at cost,. aocriLng them from $25 to $50 a ton; - BsKored pushing our cotton goods to " ewHtj- part of the world; had the embargo on potash lifted as soon as the annisfc'ne was signed; the erection of a nitrate plant practically now complete at Muscle Shoals to manufacture iritrogen from the air, which will save the farmers millions of dollars; secured the amendment of ?r:tion 13 of the new banking and currency law whereby the farmer is given six months time on agricultural paper as against 90 days on commercial paper, thereby enabling him to hare the proper credit for holding a nd market- j ing his crops; cooperated in passing the Farm Loan Act which placed farm ? lands for the first time in the history of this country in a position where it was possible for farmers to use their land as an asset on easy terms, supported strongly the views of President Wilson during the war on i war measures, and, being chairman of : the Interstate Commerce his part was most exacting; favored the Good, Roads Act, favored restricting immigration, and in this respect protected the American laborer from cheap Eu-j ropean laborers, is a strong supporter! of the Regional Banking system, holds a high position on seven committees in the state. / | This is only a short review of the Qanatnr'a wnrlt in the senate, We' ihave seven members in the lower house and two in the npper hpuse of oongress, fend of the nine members, 1 eight are lawyers, and Senator Smith is the only farmer there. I admire 1 lawyers, but do feel that we ought to keep in congress the only farmer we have there. Many of the lawyers are able and patriotic but whenever I think of them, I am reminded of the picture of the Blue Back speller whioh represents two neighboring farmers that had a dispute about a cow, and one of the farmers was holding the cow by the honis, and the other by the tail, and a lawyer on each side milking. Can we afford, with the important problems to be solved in the next congress to send a new man to the senate, for he would have to be there for years, however bright he may be, before he could have the experience Sanitnr Smith has?] Shall we turn out one that has proved himself so worthy to make an experiment? I am a farmer and feel that he has greatly benefited me and every other laboring man in the state. If there were anything in the record of Senator Smith showing that he had not made an able and conscientious senator, these lawyers after him would certainly have discovered It, for I notice that even a man at Washington. D. C., is trying to dictate to Our people of South Carolina who they shall elect to the Senate. One of his principal objections to Senator Smith seems to be that he answered to only about half of the roll calls since there. The surprise to me is, that he, with all his important committee assignments, could answer to that many, but he certainly did answer to important roll calls, a number of the roll calls were undoubtedly on non-essential matters. This man writing against Senator Smith from Washington, D. C., seems to be a lawyer, and the failure of all these lawyers to uncover in Senator Smith's record in the senate anything against him, convinces me tnat ne nas made a most vigilant sentinel on the watch tower, and I say to the business men, farmers, cotton mill operatives and larborers of all classes, let us give Senator Smith an overwhelming vote at the ensuing primary, and mow the administration and other people at Washington that he has the confidence of his people, for this will increase hia power there to work for us.
