CLINTON, a C, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER W, 1936 WHERE ARE WE HEADED? In 1935 the total cost of govern ment in the United States was 16Vi billion dollars. In 1^)35 the total income of all the people . of thfi,„United States was about 50‘ billion dollars. In other words, a little simple arith- irretic wilt show 'that' out- tjf ■ every ■ earned last year, $16.50 went for the coet of government. JOIN THE RED CROSS We are again calling to our read ers’ attention the annual Red Cross RolJUall drive for memberships which began ye.sterday under the leadership of Jack H. Davis, Jr., as sisted by a group of interested and public-spirited citizen.s. It should not be necessary for any one to speak of the character of the work of the Red Cross. Everybody it, or certainly should Every, -—flood, every tornado and a thousand _ , smaller disasters, regardless of where they strike, bring home instantly to us the value “and the necessity of its service. The banner of the Rqd Cros.s, the red crqgs on a white field, has been aptly termed, “Civilization’s Symbol.” Fir.st used as a warning flag in war, it ha.s become the emblem under which the armies of peace are enlist-j ed in the never-ending warfare on (iisea.se and disaster in civil life. It has no endowment pr insured income, its funds must come annually from the voluntary contributions of all the people during the drive period be tween Armistice day and Thanksgiv ing. ^ We should not take so much for granted pertaining toTTRF'Red' Cross daify from the politicians (p&rticu- larly in Washington) that the depres sion is a thing of the past, that pros perity is here, that, borrowing 4?id spending abounds as the proper ahd accepted order of the day, ahd that everybody is happy, or at least should be. —‘Mtreh''tTf-thts -apparent- indifference to these local appeal.s, regardless of how worthy they may be—has been brought about by the federal.govern ment now engaged in almost every conceivable type of bu.siness‘in com petition with private business, and in all sorts of public welfare activity. When these community aj^peals come it is the easjr, natural thing for the average individual to reply, “Let the government do it; it i.s the nation’s Santa Claus.” This feeling which is to be deplored, has within recent years grown arPT spread to such an extent that private charity on the killed to a very large extent."lt~ts a serious indictment, and yet one that is true. Charitable institutions, like orphan ages, colleges, hospitals and other agencies owned by church denomina tions, have suffered hard because of this prevalent feeling that “excuses” individual responsibility of giving and places it upon other shoulders. Local activities of churches and oth er organizations will further decrease •unless a change^occurs in this gen eral disposition and feeling of the people. It is hard, extremely difficult, to day to raise funds for any cause, re gardless of its need or worthiness. One of the chief reasons for this in different attitude is the commonly accepted practice with most of the people to “pass the buck” to the gov ' holsum moore is thru with polli- tics forever, he says he will nevyer again have his name rote on a vot ing ballot, he run on the independent \ ticket on november the 3 for alder- Nov. 12, 1936. man for ward no. 1, and if he a single vote, none of the vote count ers could find same, but thefV looked everwl^ere for the tickets" he xdaimed we^ dVapped in for him. his feel ings are hurt. - PlIiAL SETTLEMENT Take notice that on the 14th day of ■ December, .1986, I will, render a final account of ray acts and doings as Administratrix of the estate of Elarl^ W, Workman, deceased, in the office of the Judge pf Probate of Laurens jTounty, at 11 b*clock a. m., and on the same day will apply for a filial discharge from my trust as Administratrix.

CRAVING POW^ \ news item from one of the state’s largest counties states that their new legislative delegation recently as sumed office and that plans were dis cussed and favored to open up an office in the court house for the dele gation aniil-it.s meetings.

But everything they_ have to offer is They are all optimists. Koing Take flour for instance: the crop is 600 million bushels short (so they say) in Canacla, Brazil and Russia; J^arely enough in U.

I ain’t smart enough to keep up tive pow’er and domination over the county’s affairs. This is a practice, as we have said before, that should be banned in all the counties. There is no need or rea son for a delegation having monthly meetings to dispatch the business af fairs of a county. These meetings and dictating^ policies were never intend- - ed under the law, and we doubt se- with our markets much less ahead of them.

Like many other cities undertaking similfir worthy campaigns, the workers failed by sev eral thousand dollars to reach their goal which they had stated was at the lowest minimum to carry on its work. One of the Greenvill* papers comes forward with the statement that on one recent Saturday in that city, 963,063 was spent on amusement in Greenville, including footh4tll,' movies, parties and dances. It farter com mented that just a week before in a highly organized and strenuous cam paign of five days several hundred workers were unable through the community chest to raise as much as 168,068 for a whole year’s charity aethrities. Greenville is not an exception in ancA. ondertakinge. In spite of hifh- methods and intensive or^ in many cities and towm^ molts are expenenced. ask whi^ H is so hard and f<»r such Ev^ything is 1 case free with 10, or-a^^tea pot with 5 pounds of cof- fe^ or a rubber balloon for every penny- i^ sirtr trf dishes with a barrel of flour !and on and on, till the merchante have all become nutty from so-called free goods. (There ought to be^a law). There’s no such thiing as “free goods” or premiums. If you pay 25 cents for a package of tea and get 2 ice-tea sdasses free, that means that you 4>ought lO-cents worth of tea and paid 15 cents for 2 glasses you didn’t need. Every manufiu:- turer is busy trying to get folks to buy his stuff because of “something for nothing.” - “eats it up.” They-never think they are being deceived of swindled p they actually believe, down in .their hearts, that somebody is really being kind to them. Every store everywhere is afflicted with premiums, prises, 1 can free with 2 cans, 1 cake of loap extra with a bar of dirt-cutter, etc. Don't blame the manufacturer: it’s the consumer that clamors for this type <jf^ woll-pullihg. Cure him, and you cure all.
