The Wateree Messenger Published Every Wednesday by CHAS. W. BiaCHMORE, Prop. Entered as Second Class Matter at the Posteffice at Camden. S. C. Subscription $1.50 A Year in Advance Wednesday, April 18, 1934 ' Most of us believe in pitiless pub licity ? for tec otho fellow. Few monuments are crected to persons who observed all the rules. Father's most vivid impression of higher education is that it come.? higher. ? Still, one doesn't get much service out of a spade by merely calling it one. Americanism: Demanding a swell room with bath just to impress the hotel clerk. Sometimes genius takes the form ?of being able to cash in on other peo ple's ideas. Correct this sentence: "I never take a case unless I am convinced that my client is in tho right." Just think of what Lincoln's par ents might have made of him if they had been up on child psychology. We don't hear so much about thi$ and that Congressional bloc of late, but there are plenty of that kind of heads left. KINDNESS WEEK Who started Be Kind to Animals Week and why ? The exact origin was probably a spontaneous local cel ebration. Then, Henry F. Lewith, a resident of Charl?ston, took up the idea and it became national. Year in and year out ho promoted the pro ject. This man was a bachelor, owner of a handsomo collie dog and lover of all ddfjrsi He believed humans were kind at heart but needed to bo taught to give expression to their true feelings. One day In his home town he was concerned for the safety of a stray <fog wandering aimlessly about the streets without regard to traffic. An auto came along and tfie dog, instead of keeping to safety, ran in front of the car. The driver put on his fcrakes, eteered half on the sidewalk. The dog ran off and tho motorist re sumed his journey. Next morning an advertisement ap peared in the city paper. The Kind ness Man sought tho name and ad dress of the motorist who had risk ed damage to his car to save that dog. There were eleven replies, frot one motrist but eleven described the fool ish dog and gave details of what they had had to do to avoid striking it,! .So the Kindness Man wroto letters of thanks to eleven conslderato motor ists. ? This true story is evidence of that better feeling that Is growing year by year under the influence of Kind ness Week. Motrists everywhere are being urged to emulate tho eleven of the southern city and to set examples of kindly consideration for our dumb friends. It is a reminder that the Animal is Clod-made and God-given, and man kind should realizo that kindness and thoughtfulness "even unto tho loast of those/' is man's duty. ? aEagle, Cainseville, fla. THE EXPECTED RESULT Tho result of the efofrt to expol State Senator H. Kompor Oooko of Horry County from that body, which failed to muster the necessary two thirds, was a foregone conclusion. The public felt assured that tho self styled "backwoods statesman" sat se cure in his seat. However cIoha to tho two-thirds necessary tho vote, It was not reached ?nd a miss is as good as a mile. Tho Indictment of Senator Cooke a gainst his compeers evidently struck home and quivered in their rospeetlvo hides. He made tho sweeping chargo that "some legislators made n* high as $1,000 a day In hotels." That charge upon it? face would appear too difficult to prove to the average ttUttL Yet the Horry County legta lator has performed a distinct public service in directing attention to the legislative body ? the branch with' which he is identified in partcular. Public office is a public trust, as Grover Cleveland asserted and adher ed to. There is a general impression, whether or not there be substantial basis for it, that organized and en-' trenchd interests have their friends at court in legislative hulls, state or natioal, throughout the alnd. The great mass of the people havo no or ganization. They must necessarily rely upon their chosen representa tives. hat is why no member of a legislative body should resent the pub lie having access to information bearing on what if any Interests, cor porations or big business institutions, he may be identified with and what capacity. Senator Cooke was never in danger of having the nw:essary number of his colleagues record themselves as in favor of expeliing him from that body. ? Spartanburg Journal. NOW THAT SPRING IS HERE Now that spring is here, and sum mer is just around the corner, th;. minds of millions aro occupied wtih plans for vacationing. This is an unusual year for the traveler. The mysterious exigencies of international exchange have made trmendous changes so fay as paying for one's wanderlust is concerned. The current rate of exchange with most European currencies, for ex ample, is much less favorable than ti was a year a^o. That American dol lar which used to be so potent has literally shrunk In size. A hundred and fifty or two hundred of them aro needed to do the work that a hundred used to do. The result is that where travelers used to first think of Europe, theyj aro -now looking elsehwere. They're going either to countries where the money rate is favorable ? or they are going to follow the old adgae and really seo America. Seeing America is an especially ex cellent idea. It's a big country ? and very few of its citizens have more than a cursory acquaintance with it. Take, for instance, Alaska, which is attracting a steadily increasing num ber of people who want a real vacat ion at a moderate cost. Most of us think of it in terms of ice ? not know ing that certain sections produce giant strawberries and flowers. We think of. the Artclc circle as being as far away a^J^a north pole ? yet a little way souftpj4f,'it, at at Fairbanks there, is a, fiwtf&hjfes school of mines and 'kh , agTiculJ^a 1 college. We think of {he* se?e ^'ordering it as be ing . ]*erpetuall^ torn with storms ? ? and the factTs that sailing to Alaska is almost always calm ? with dancing on deck in warm etewiinga. Yes, it's ^"flhjjjpjyear to look over your own herfjk^? Vhe United States. And you'H'W^B a satisfaction in know ing that the money you spend will go to American workmen and indus tries ? and halp recovery. AN ASSURED FARM FUTURE The Cooperative Division of the Farm Credit Administration reports that a million moro animals were handled by farmers' cooperative sal?.* agencies operating on terminal live stock markets in 1933 than in 1932. The value of the increase is placed at $7,000,000. That record is similar to those mado by other major operative groups last year. The cotton produc ers, the dairymen, the fruit farmers of various sections ?all of them show ed an increasing faith in the necessity and efficacy of the cooperative plan. And the result was, in a disorganized and chaotic year, that the American agriculturists mado genuine progress in building for a prosperous future. Co-operation is the keystone of agriculture- precisely as it has been thekeystono of industry for many years. All the government relief in the world, no matter how well intent ioned and how expertly administered, can bo of but temporary benefit. It can aid? but it ra?.n >t ciro a pro blem. It m^y ra.-ry farmers ove* clan periods- but it "aniiot assure fat ones. The cooperative are per manent. They aro unaffected by po litical considerations. They do not. go uot of business with a change of administration. They aro hero to atay ? and their work never stops, never wavorS. Farmers should make 1934 the re cord "cooperative year." They should loyally support, their organiza tions, and seek to enlist new members. Doing that means money in their pockets? and it means that real farm recovery is on tho way. Indians who make a fire' with n drill can produce a spark and catch it for use in leas than half minute. the tax-exemption fallacy The surest way to achieve tax re duction would be to spread the burden evenly, based on the capacity to paji ? without exemptions. Tax exampuon for persons with in comes in the Tower brackets has long fooled a substantial part of the pub lic into believing it is not taxed at all. It creates the idea that the co^t of government is being borne by wealthy individuals and by big, bus inesses. No idea, no belief, could be less jus tified. There aren't that many weal thy individuals ? and there jiren't that many big businesses. Tho greai pai*t of the cost of government ? fed eral, state, county and municipal ? is paid by the jjeople who think they I are tax exempt. Instead of paying their money direct to the tax collect or's office, they pay it indirectly in higher rents, more expensive food, clothing and entertainment and ev erything else. That big business which is so highly taxed, for example is the business you patronize when you buy groceries or shoes or insur ance or transportation or something of the kind ? and the cost of thu com inodity or service includes tho tave;: tho business pays. In other words, tho business simply act:i as tho mid dleman ? it collects? money from yo/j and passes it on to government. Today tho tax problem i:i an in tensely personal issue to every Am erican. It stands in tho way of em ployment, of waga increases, of in dustrial expansion, of productive in vestments It is a barrier to recov ery. It is gVing to become a bigger problem every year until tho millions of wage-earners realize how vital its solution is their well-being and their future. Sidelights A mid-western editor apparently is up on his horse psychology, judg ing from the following item: '"George Seybolt was kicked in the mouth by ono of his horses. Tho horso did not intend to kick his blaster. Ho thought it was another horse." This year a special Mother's Day postage stamp will be issued, pro bably a reproduction of Whistler'.i famous painting of his mother, which the artist himself described as an "ar rcngoment in black and gray.". The original painting is in the Luxem bourg gallery in Paris. The new stamp will be on the 3-cent denomi nation. Comedian Yill Rogers was throw.i from his pony while playing polo u few days ago, but fortunately was un injured except for a shaking up. Wo don't like to see our democratic fun maker imitating the Prince of Wkles lik i that. New York's board of aldermen re cently conferred an honor on Presi dent Roosevelt's mother, in spite of her protest. A thoroughfare in the city was named "Sara Delano Roose velt Parkway." When the resolution was introduced she wired declining the honor and recommended that it be named for Charles B. Stover, former park commissioner, but tho aldermen stuck to their original intention. . . ? ? , The New Deal has its little ironies, too. The Ever Ready Label Corpor ation of New York, one ot the largest producers of NRA labels in the coun try, has been summoned beTore the Compliance Hoard, charged with vio lating its code. Chief Two-Cuns-Whlte-Calf is dead. While his naftio perhaps means noth ing to the average persons, every body should what his faco looked like. As the New York Post sadly remarks, "the buffalo is gone; the red man has vanished from the scenes of his an cient exploits, and tho nickel has shrunk to 2.9 cents.'' After staying aloft in a balloon for 21 hours and 45 minutes, breaking the former record of 23 hours and 28 minute*, two Polish hallonist.s, Ja il us/. Rnd War/.ak, may not be able to gain official credit for their feat. They had neglected to have tho flight supervised by the 1'ojish Aero Club, which must certify to records made in that country before they are re cognized as official. The United States patent office granted nearly 50,000 patents during tho last fiscal year while receipts totaled $4,000,000, a new record. Mail and other goods are carried in trailers attached to auto buses in Sweden. Mrs. Knthrino Ansley of St. Paul is given the big job of seeing that.

This, of course, is a routine inquiry, and the young woman in question was ablo to con-j vinco the authorities that she could take care of herself. She was Miss Doris Duke, heiress to the Duke to bacco millions and one of the richest girls in the United States.
