THE YOUTH PROBLEM From tFfe earliest times it appears that the problem of directing young folks in the proper way has engaged the serious attention of reformers and uplifters ? and busy bodies. A book on etiquette published in 1850 gravely warns young women of the perils of the waltz and declares that "unmarried ladies should refrain from the waltz altogether, in public and in private." It is assumed that married IaHie.? were supposed to be immune to its demoralizing effects. Every once in a while someone digs up an old newspaper or magazine containing an article which throws light on this tendency to worry about the young people of the past. The boy3 and girls of the present genera tion are causing consternation a mong the sel^-appoir.ted guardians of morality. There is little reason, however, for believing that the young folks of 1934 are any worse, morariy or othr wise, than thole of former times. Like others before them, they will prob aibly grow up to tforry about their own children and grandchildren. NOTICE TO DEBTORS AND CREDITORS All parties indebted to the estate of W. G. Davis, deceased, are hereby notified to make payment to the un dersigned, and all parties, if any, having claims against the said estate will present them likewise, duly at tested, within the time prescribed by law.

Tie said he hud started a drive for state economy ir; 1927, but that the 'brakes' hadn't been applied until 1932 when the state could no longer borrow. This had almost wrecked tho school sys tem, he added. He said $300,000 could be saved by consolidation, $160,000 in school oper ation and $2u0,000 by having biennail sessions of the general assembly. With the savings he said tho tate could operate schools seven instead of six months and thus relieve districts of from ten to twelve mills. "In about one year the indirect taxes pledged to the teachers' notes will be available. This money, which he said would be about $1,000,000, he proposed as more pay for teachers and for a reduction in the state defi cit. Ten times more money is being .apent on highways, ho continued, than on schools. Ifo advocated a reorgan ization of the highway department, a reduction of tho number of commiss ioners from 14 to six "but if they won't reduce them I'll cut them all out, including John Stevens." He said Mr. Sawyer would gladly remain highway commissioner without pay because of tho influence he yielded in keeping "friends and relatives" on tho state payroll. His refemces to the highway department wero applauded. As in previous speches ho said the highway department had built a road in Orangeburg county just for the convenience of Mr. Sawyer's mother in-law. It had cost $25,000, he esti mated. Mr. Johston predicted that tho state would go dry in the referendum. He read from a speech he had made in Charlston over the radio, lie iaid he would vote dry "because the peo ple said they wero dry" and because he was dry personally, but that ii the state went wet ho would Be guided 'largely' by that vote. Ho emphasized that he would not' sign a liquor con trol bill unless he approved oi' tho regulatory features. "I told the people in Charleston it was repulsive to me to see young boys and girls, 1G or 17 years old, selling whisky over the counter as they wero doing there", he asserted. This re mark also was greeted with_applause. "I'm jn=t plain Olin Johnston, your next governor", he concluded. For Attorney General John M. Daniel, seeding re-election as attorney general, said Cordie Page, who opposed him, had refused to work for tho state after his salary was reduced mjiterially as a result of the depression. Mr. Daniel appointed Mr. Pago the assistant attorney gen eral in 1924. I "I was willing to take a cut from $5,000 to $3,200," Mr. Daniel said. Ho said the office had handled ov er $1,000,000 of legal business a year. His duties, ho continued, kept him in the office. "The people are not complaining a bout me because they can always seo me," ho said. Mr. Page said Mr. Daniel would bo unable to hold tho position unless ho had an assistant "to do tho work". Mr. Daniel had not requested his sal ary to be reduced to $3,00, he de | clared. lie said tho attorney general had gone on a month's trip to Seattle, Wash., when the office nad been call ed on for an important school opinion. "For more than two years I wrote every argument, tried every case, and wrote most opinions", Kir. Page de clared. Ho charged that Mr. Daniel had had to pay $7,000 for outside leg al aid. A question by Mr. Page provoked a heated verbal exchange. "What has Mr. Daniel done about the railroad commission cases?" ho asked. Ho referred to several cases which the railroad commission had handed the attorney general's office for opinions. [ ' Mr. Daniel replied that he turned the cases over to Mr. Pago when ho was assistant attorney general, but that Mr. Page had never pursue<P them. Adjutant General Tom J. Marshall, Richland couixt^y, candidate for adjutant general, charg ed that Brig. Gen. Jamos C. Dozier, tho incumbent, had petitions circulat ed in the National Guard "under his command" in behalf of his candidacy. Such action ho said was "unethical'. Ho said General Dozier had be(t? on the state payroll for 12 years. Mr. Marshall advocated takinK tho South Carolina National Guard regi ment out of the state occasionally for training rather than having the regi ment train always at Camp Jackson. General Dozier, who followed him, said he had been appointed adjutant general because he was wanted to head the National Gua rbdy the guardsmen. It would cost $30,000 to take the South Carolina regiment out of the state for its training period, he said, and moreover ho said that where t.ho regiment trained was a matter decid ed by the war department which fur *isho?l the money. He had rfy^nrv mended a training period out of the state, he continued, but there was not money available. He said he did not feel that the state should appropriate $30,000 for that purpose during surh times. "It In positively not true that f co erced men (of the National Guard) to sign jjettiionflJjaeking mo", he assort - ed. The National Guard had indors ed him, he added.
