ATEREE MESSENGER tiblished Every Tuesday by AS. W. BtRCHMORE, I'rop! as Second Class Matter at the Poat;jfficc at Camden, 8. v. ' ? 1 1 * ' Iption $1.50 A Year in Advance mite Tuesday, September 1, 1931 SENATOR SMITH'S PLAN , LEADS Many plans have been sungested to hold the cotton growing stated ^steady and aid the farmers, but we ^.'believe .'that one thing is certain, and> U; that there will not be a law passed Wfo;. prevent the planting and cul'.Lvat. ing a crop of cotton in 1932. We conditions are hard now, but j|pcut off the plantinn of cotton next ^ year, end what will the tenanl farm. $ era and the small farmers do about getting ?some cash? It would be un. wise to plant a big crop next year f with a tremendous surplus en hand, $ so One sensible thing to do would be |;^to greatly reduce the production cf ^ Cotton. The Lonn plan is not going ifCyto w:rk. Texas, which produces a_ ? bout one third of the crop, will not prevent the planting of cotton next year. We are epposed to a special L session of the South Carolina legis lature, for it will en' ail too great an expense upon the already overjbur -de^Hed taxpayers, and besides if it is wise to prohibit by liw the planting of cotton next year, our legislature can look after that in January when they meet before the crop is planted. Senior Smith's plan f r the novern. ment to buy 8,000,000 bales of this year's crop^at present prifces an<l sell it back to those farmers who will en ter i'lto a binding contract n >t to plant cotton next year and sell them their cotton back next year at the price which it will bring them, less the cost of storage and insurance, seems to be taking the lead at this ;time, but we sre not at all sure that it is goinp- to work out. There are too many T-lkns biing proposed and to get concentrated action upon any one will be almor.t an impossibility, jl: The farmer, after all, most likley will have to work out his own salvat ion, but should hive the backing ?f y every one who can render him any assistance in the very trying position that he finds himsslf in. "WEEK'S iBRST EDITORIAL." The Spartanburg Journal publisher j|; each week what it considers the week's best editorial aippearing in a South Carolina newspaper. Last .week this honor came to The Water ee Messenger, the editorial referr fc' ed to h^inr captioned, "A Crisis Brings Tax Relief." The Journal is a good nows,paper and in the editorial Y:- columns in which the editorial from The Messenger appeared was th? following timely comments in a sepa ^ rate rr-ticle undei/che caption, "Six f^.Cent Cotton'': / "Six cent cotrorr means that a j. farmer would realize but $30 on a j?;?j bale weighinr 500 pounds of stand ard classification. One doesn't haV? to hi giftdti with a vivid imagination, or .highly analytical mind to visualize ^ just what such a condition results in & ?from the standpoint of buying and S0'.Knr> barter and trade. To the people of the South cotton, as Calvin Coolldge said of taxes, affeots all of us, whether we are aware of it or ;.V not. When the staple brings six or even five cents a (pound, the shoe St' is going to pinch, whether you ever saw a farm or not. It will be felt p in all lines cf activity and industry. Y>- Therefore, it is but commonsense to M get adjusted. Rusiness and house $?. hold economics must b? put into ef ^ feet, and it should not stop there. When cotton brings six cents a pound, |y: tho state, county and municipal gov emments should be conducted along the lines of strictest economy, and j$: (that applies to ^alaries and wages H' of. all errtployed. It is never a pleas ant subject to tackle at any time ? that of cutting ipay. One of the y Jdaders in business, finance and in Wduatryi locally in talking over tho outlook, *a man who directs hi# bus V Incus in Several different channels, jajr? that salaries and wages will have to come down in such a crisis, tn the affairs which he directs such ; ?' policy has already been put into effect.

V . our comments, we thought of the tame idea of having the license go with the car, but now about that clothing. business, perhaps there are some who have two suit^j and liable sure enough not to transfer the li_ cen.se from one suit to the other when they make the change. In our com. ments we did not mean to createthe impression that we were not in l&vor of drivers of cars having a license. Irresponsible drivers should/ be elim_ ! infcted. The number of deaths in South Carolina during August num. bered around forty and doubtless the most of them could have been avoid, ed. WORDS WORTH PONDERING (From The Kershaw Era) Regardless of how many other able, j thoughtful and serious.minded citi zens there may be in South Carolina, there is one who, when he speaks, has something to say that is worth while hearingi and seriously ponder, ing. In a short communicatioin to the Columbia State, which is appended hereto, Dr. George B. Cromer of New bery, in his characteristic manner utters very carefully, thoughtfully and forcefully, and without bombast, three original precepts that contain a rich measure of fundamental truths, which may well be considered and thoroughly digested before pre. cipitate action of any kind is taken in the present situation for which many are undertaking to prescribe the correct healing remedy. Read carefully all that he has to' say, but think more particularly upon his thro* suggestions: To the Editor of The State: Our people are on the brink of fi nancial and economic disaster, and I am confident that the factfinding agitation now carried on by the state council and the Farmers and Tax. payers' league will result in great good, I sugnest three things, none of them new: 1. Product and not property should be taxed. 2. Self .help is better than .state help. 3 The legislature cannot repeal the law of supply and demand. The plight cf the corn area and the wheat area is as bad as that of the cotton area. And the gravest economic problem that clamors for solution is unemployment. The dan. pier is that in applying radical treat, ment to one disease in the body poli. tic, we may aggravate another mal_ ady that is just as serious. Assuming that it is constitutional, suppose that you put into effect the suggestion that the jplantinp of cotton be forbidden every ~iher year vVhat will become of the idle lanc'V W-hat will become of the tenant farmers, the croppers and the laborers who must find other employment in every alternate year? The remedy that is proposed would add countless thous. ands to the great army of the unem. ployed. I have no doubt that remedial leg. islation will be required, and I trust that the Farmers and Taxpayers' vjeague will find, amonfj other things, that the legislature should provide for the holding of a constitutinoal con. vention. The present instrument is 3G years old and has been amended to such an extent that it looks a good deal like crazy qu It. GEOR'rE B. CROMER. Newberry.

RAMBLING THOUGHTS ? fey II* a H>< A Cannon Jmzz No. 2 The Inquisition met once more; The chairman -turned and Toeked the door; If what they planned was known outside, They'd have to. take a long, long ride. Said Mister Nye, "I've thought it o'er? The Bishojf makes ine awful sore; In this affair we dare not "ail, The Bishop must be sent tj jail. If he escapes, we'll rue the day We ver let him set away; He'll take our trail, and very ?iuick Will find "ova just what mattes us "tick". We've figured much, and talked a io;, Yet he's escaped our every plot7 Our dirnity is now at stake, And action socn we'll have to take. 1 The Bishop now is planning too, To place some skids fcr me and you; If he wins out, we'll take a slide; After which we'll be outside. While he hangs out :.cross the street All Senators must be discreet, Conduct themselves with s her mien, And with no bootlegger b^ seen. Although our throats are parched and dry, We all must bear it with a sij-h, And shake our heads when many' men Offei*to sell us "William Penn." Such influence must be destroyed, Else pleasures cannot bo enjoyed7 For if We stray from paths of rif?ht, The folks back home know it that night: X.) use to bo in politics If with the girlies we can't mix, Try to forget we're gettinr old, Although we catch a beastly co'u. We'll have to find some place that's ' hot, And put the bishop on that spot, And roast him as we turn him round, Until he's cooked^a deep dark brown. To throw him out I've also ph.nned, Discredited 'throughout the land. We'll now adjourn, and cogitate Until jur next rerular date. H. C. Hardy Yep, Governor Roosevelt, of New York, and the Tammany Hall saint*, have done broke up House-keeping. Listen to what a Tammany state Senator has to say: "Mark my words," said Dunnigan ? in the state senate ? "Just as our study fore fathers (meaning, his and other Tam many forefathers) administered a ro buke to George III and his Hessians, just so will you see those who have tried- to probe into affairs that didn't :oncern them" ? Tammany grafting? "will receive a lesson that will not soon be forgotten." Now you know just who won the Revolutionary War in this country. The Catholic Irish; and according to Cardinal O'Connell, if it had not been for the bungling Protestants in the American Aj-mies, the war would have been brought to a successful conclusion mu:h sooner. In his book on the early history, of the Catholic Church in South Caro lina, he gives the Catholics credit for all of thc? victories, and the protest ants the blame for all of the defea Dunningan is funny if nothing elso'? he says, .there is a marked tendency today to make rubber stamps out of public officials. Why, "bless his soul," that has been going on evef1 since the devil invented the name of politics. Tammany Hall could not exist under any other system"; neither could the two great political parties in this oouritiV People of the rubber stamp type nre absolutely necessary in po litics. They nre the wheel h^tves o' the big men who drive the teams. Yeah, they are "broke'' to bridle, saddle and harness. I wonder if Tammany Hall intends to punish Governor Roosevelt in tfte same manner it punished Mayor" Gaynor? Gaynor refused to comply with Tammany's demands for more graft, and was shot in the neck. He recovered and ev<?/ after was glad to comply with Tammany's every wish. At the mass meeting of indignant New York' citizens, hold in protest against indiscriminate shooting by gangsters, the Saintly "Al" seems to have been conspicuous by his absence, i as were other Tammany leaders. Yeah, Mulroony ? head of the police department- Wames prohibition for all of it. If Mulroony would close 1 the liquor' joints, the shooting would cease, in that iine at least. Hut, too j much graft would be out off if he did ! that. I want jfeo s?y this before I forgot , it: A lot of voters belong to th? "rubber wtamp" brigade. lte>ad rule 32 governing primary voting. In physical slavery, the body alon<> is enslaved; in political slavery, tho j body is free but the mind ia enslaved. ' Come kiss me in the moonlight; Don't think I'll take afright; And while the clouds cover *he moon, Hold me a little tight. I You'll find the place for contact, Is just beneath my nose, Where Curd's bow- was fashioned, And painted fjke a fose. ~K - Don't be a bashful W+llie, I'll neither cry nor sobT iCome out into the moonlight And jvt right on the Job. How's that girls? | The -latest reports from the New Ycrk battle front says, that Roose volt and Tammany will ? kiss and make up; 1'll just add: and lose out. The same report was the inspiration for the above verses. I . ' Fisherman's Luck At nine o'clock, one Fourth of July morning, Bill Trent, and Steye Harris h id a fight in the Royal Cafe\ in a liule town in Georgia. They were separated by the City Marshall, who happened to be passing at that time, before much damcpe had, been dono to either fighter. Each left the cafe, making threats against the other. Trent was a man of quick temper but he packed no grudges apainst anyone. On the other hand, Harris, not only had a quick temper, but was of the f cud is type; once an enemy, always an enemy. He had just ci m pleted a term in the "pen" for man slaughter. That afternoon, Trent decided to go fishing; he carried no poles with him, for it was his custom to nct poles from the cane-brake in the creek swamp. i Entering the swamp, at about four o'clock, he followed a path until ho arrived at the creek. The cane-bral was on the opposite side. In attenu ing to cross the Sh-eam on a log, his feet slipped out from under him, a^-l he fell into the creek. In falling, his head struck a projecting knot, on th ? partly submerged log, and his skull was crushed. His body disappeared in the deep water of the creek. Curiously enough, Harris, also de cided to go fishing the v same afar noon. Carrying his pples with him, he entered the swamp about three o'clock, crossed the creek lower down, selected a spot about 200 yards below the place where Trent attempt ed to cross, stuck his poles in .the bank, and waited on his luck. ? He heard the splash of Trents body, as it struck^the water, but paid no attention to it, as dead limbs fre quently break off from trees, and fall into the creek. A bend in the stream prevented him from seeing thc accident. A little after four o'clock, Harris ' saw the end of one of his poles jerk downward; thinking* that he ha J a fish rn his hook, he gave the pole a jerk"; he found that his hook was fas tened to some heavy object, presum ably a deeply floating log. Pulling it slowly t wards the bank, ar. :1 at the same time lifting it upwards, he was horrified at seeing/ the body *> a man rising slowly to the surface, the hook fastened to the right hip p ck ot. Pulling the body slowly towards the bank, he reached out, graspid it by the legs, and dragged it out nn the bank. ] He experienced a much gre er shock when he turned the b dy r r 'on its back, and recognized the f ; of his late antagonist, Bill Trent. Being nobody's fool, Harris stantly realized the danger of im position he was in. Not only ha f. ^ fought this man a few hours ago, bit. he had threatened him after lha fight; now, he lay there before ' i with his skull crushed, ston^ r! d, and with. not witnesses to testify ?s to how he met his death. | Ho, himself, could guess ho^ 'he accident had occurred, because h hr,d heard the splash, and know th the loir at that crossinn was S'.nv nvs t ? | very slippery; but no one won lieve his theory, and he could >1, prove it. i Having already been convict* killing one man, public Kent would he against him; if he : .trial for this man's death, the ' '' would certainly convict him; r <fety for him lay in flight; the so r lie ! left, the better for him. He '1'"l -f> family connections to consider, :nd what mon?>y he j>.ssessed wvs in h pocket. Grasping the body jinder i' !>r pits, he dragged it farther uy ? ' ' bank; lie staightencd the leg . r ? ed the hands on the breas' . ? r I a handkerchief over the de-?d ivi'ii face, glided into the swamp, nd <1 appeared. He was never hea rd again. Wfyen Harris lVioved the / failed to notice a' stone that the (hod man'* head had rented against, This stone-About the size of a it'tiV two fists- had blood on it when he body was discovered; it also fitted the depression in the skull; near f nougfr for It to be regarded as the weapon at destruction. The bodyt was discovered late that evening by Sheriff Hicks, who had gono fco the creek to set oirt some cat-hooks, ?'A " - Vjv - ? ? At the Coroners inquest, the fol lowing day, the jury returned a Ver diet charging Harris with umrder. The Sheriff disagreed with the ve*dkst, and summed up the case as follows: "When I di&ruvered Trent's body, I examined the ground around it very carefully; I found no, foot prints but these of Harris7 and ih vf did -not go any farther up stream; there were no tracks on the opposite bank at all7 this showed conclusively that the body had floated down from some point uf> stream. 1 could n.u locate the place Inst evening on ac count of darkness, and the rain last night removed all signs. 1 found one of Harri's ipoles on the bank, and on tho hook was a small pie e of cloth that matched .Trent's trousers. I jf iund that it had been cut out of the I right hip pocket; Trent's cloihijtg jWas wet, an<l I believe that his body, jwhile being carried down stream by jthe current, c. u?iht on Harris's hook and was pulled ashore by him. Ufr> I on discovering the identity of tho icropse, he remembered the threats he J had made, and de..ilel that the best i thing to do, was 'to leave. The ver Jdict of the jury today, shows th:it jhis judgment. was iSoun !. j There is an tl'er thing: a guilty | man would never prune lomt enough It.) spread a handkerchief over his j victims face, nor cross his hands upon his breast k would }> > a perfectly na'ural tiling f r an inr.oeent man to do."
