CLINTON. S. C, THURSDAY, APRIL 4, 1985
FIGURES THAT SPEAK
Much is heard now-a-days
.etretch-out system, particularly^ in
reference to the textile industry. As
a matter of fact,"as any informed per
son must know, all business has been
following the stretch-out system dur
ing these lattj.r years in the hope of
surviving
The charge'is made that the stretch
out system overworks people and cuts
dciwn on employment. In this county
laft summer abolition was one of the
principal planks in several of the can
didates’ platforms.
We claim to know little about the
stretch-out syst^, but we would lik^
to ask this question— —
If it is such an iniquitous and harm
ful thing, why did South Carolina cot
ton mills employ 19,656 mor^workers
in 1934 than in 1932?
•Those same mills (according to the
report of the South Carolina Depart
ment of Agriculture and Industry)
paid in taxes in 1934, $21,158,429 more
tKan jn 1982. They paid $24,098,303 in
processing taxes.^ The increase ‘they
paid in the price of cotton was $40,-
164,005. And to offset these incr
the shrinkage in their income during
the year was $19,047,401.
These figures reveal that the class
of people In South Carolina having
the least ground for complaint are the
textile workers.
This means that 21,000,000 persons
of the]are depending wholly, or in part, o2(
the federal government for foojd,
clothing and sheltejr. There are 4,700,-
000 families, and 800,000 unattached
■persons. The cost of caring for them
in March was approximately $200,-
000,000. The relief measure aims to
put this great army of people on woi^k
relief instead of direct relief as in the
past. While it will provide jobs, the
"enormous expenditure mean, of course,
a further mounting up of the now
staggering public debt.
There are more people on relief
now than ever before. These from the
four thousand eight hundred and
eighty million^ of dollars now avail
able are to be given jobs in which
they can earn their own wa^. It’s such
a gigantic undertaking, few if any can
take it in, or venture a safe predic
tion as to what the result will be.
holsum says, this will be a money
making scheem, as he will get betwixt
c35 and c85 for the same ham and
eggs, owing to how and where you
eat them.^ he is thinking of making 'i
ham and egg sandwich out of this me
nu and if the guy will eat it standing
on his head, he may have it for c20.

Dr. D. J. Brimm, of the'Bible de
partment of Presbyterian college,
^poke on “Intemperance,” last ITiurs-
dayjnight at the regular meeting of
the Y. M. C. A. With the exception of
several songs the entire meeting was
given to the speaker. “Doug” Patton,
member of the program committee,
presided. ... i
Dr. Brmim, in the beginning, re
marked that he felt as if he were rob-
bii^ the “Y” of its real development.
He cautioned that its purpose should
be more than that of a mid-week
he I prayer meeting and should be to''de
velop the talents of its members. This
self-development, he said, would be
more beneficial than all the best
or riding,the,pullman car blind, they I speakers who would appear before the
will all have different prices like the group, even though such famous ones
spoke each week.
For a Biblical basis of development,
the speaker quoted fi. number of pass^
of scripture which he empha-

is trying to figger other prices for
his ham & eggs, something like rid
ing in a box cor or on top of the coach

Announcement comes from Wash

and grade-crossing elimination, the
work to be done under the direction
of the state highway department. The
"<kpartment Kas anhounced that it is
ready to pfoceed to construct the
roads, projects to be selected in each
county which meet federal recluire-
ments and are desirable and needed to
serve the traveling public. This large
amount of' m«ney_ s|)ent judiciously
should bring lasting results and help
ful benefits.
-It certainly appears that with more
thqn eleven million dollars now avail
able for highway development that
th<‘ .several neglected and missing
links in this .se'elion of the county
should be inelude<i in an e^rly letting

esi)ecially to the unpaved link from
Clinton to the Spartanburg county
line, on the .Mu.sgrove highway, and
the Clinton-Whitmire section on the
Calhoun highway. Their negltHrl can
no longer be charged to a lack of
funds. These two incontpleted projects
—should—be——before—the—highway
commissioner of this district and he
should be urged to have them includ

future, noth are important links ahd
we see, no plausible reason why their

sized ail to the importance of his sub
ject. Temperance was referred to as a
striving with self-control as in I Cor
inthians 9:25. It was quoted as among
the “sacred nine” recorded in II Peter
15. Also it was cited in relations
drawn from Acts 26:25 and Philip-
plans 4:5.
In. the discussion of the topic Dr.
Brimm gave twelve outstanding forma
of intemperance that are prevalent in j
the world today. He referred first to I
drinking and showed how it was onIy|^
one form of intemperance and should,
never be regarded as inclusive of the
whole word. Eating was mentioned as
a form of intemperance supporting
the statement “He dug his grave with
his teeth.” Other forms which were
enumerated and briefly discussed
were intemperance in exercise, in fa
naticism, in pleasure, in resting, in
religious work, in talk, in study, in
smoking, in idleness, and in sex rela
tions. These all were portrayed in a
discussion that was terminated only
by the time limit. Dr. Brimm, in clos
ing, cautioned the “Y” members that
^they should “avoicL-intemperance in
all things.”
