The Wateree Manengw Published Every Wednesday by CgAS. W. BIHCHMORBL Prop. fintered u Second flua Matter ai the Poetoffiee at Camden* 8. C. Subscription $IJS0 A Year in Advance "Wednesday, August 22, 1984 The wages of sin sometimes de pend on the cleverness of the sinner. A husband, also, sometimes gets hard-boiled when kept in hot water too long. Uncle Sam will try lining the de pression cloud with silver at 50.1 cents an ounce. If you think there is such a thing as "easy payments", ask tho fellow who tries to collect them. A man's reputation for punctuality depends on his ability to guess ho\* late the others will be. About the only way railroad trains will ever put bussses out of business will be ^y catling them at grade crossings. I _ FARM MARKET NEEDS Freedom of operation in commodity market*, with removal of all possible restrictions, and tho revival of for eign markets for American farm eur^, plusei, are-* demands being voiced in rural sections and in -editorial com ment. . Farmers are protesting that if speculative support had not been driv en from tho grain market by advo cates of more restrictive laws, higher prices would have prevailed during movement of the winter wheat crop. A seasoned observer of commodity marketing writing in a leading farm paper, says: "There is little doubt in the minds of conservative students of the grain market situation that a large part of the wheat recently sold by farmers from the new crop has [brought muteh lower prices than would have been th? case if there had boen a normal vol ume of speculative and inve3tment buying." A similar view is exjpreised by tha editor of The Cotton Digest, who says: "Obviously business will thrive best in a favorable environment, \ where opportunity is open and ur.han vdicapped, and will languish in an un favorable eavinronment, where op portunity Is restricted and artificial handicaps beset endeavor." The prompt removal of legislative threats held over our dominant mar kets, such as wheat and cotton, would work wonders in tho restoration of lecal as well as international trade riielationships, it is agreed by many. THE POOREST GAMBLE Would you gamble $17,000,000 a gainst cue dollar? You wouldn't, of course, no matter how good you thought your chance of winning. At those odds, no wager could possibly be worth the risk you would take. It is very possible, however, tH?A you take an even poorer bet than that every day ? that you accept, con sciously or unconsciously, life's poor est gamble. If you are 85 years old, you will, on tho avorage, live for 17,000,000 more minutes. To save one little minute, thousands of automobilo drivers risk i lotting the entire 17,000,000 minutes that are coming to them. They take that risk whenever they drive excess ively fast, whenever they cut in and out of traffic, whenever they pass other cars on hills or curve*, when ever they are guilty of one of th6 many acts of carelessness that may cause an accident. Each year in this country aboiif 88,000 people make the 17,000,000-to one wager with death ? and lose. Hundreds of thousands of others are injured. lftillfons sustain needless property damage, estimated to reach a total of ovef a HttTton dollars. Think of the odds next time you Are tempted to take a chance while driv ing, Remember that the automobile you are operating is one of the most potentially dangerous of all weapons, both to others and yourself. Then ask yourself if that minute you might save is worth the LABOR DAY Labor Day this year, on September 3, comes at a time of great unrest a mong the nation s workers, and in the midst of a serious strike situation that shows little sign of improvement. More strikes have occurred during tho last six months than in any similar period in several years. Many strikes have been settled, but others have developed to keep strike unem ployment at a high, level. MoBt of the labor difficulties of the year have arisen over union recognit ion, or disputes respecting collective bargaining. Endless controversy has centered about interpretations of the ambiguous section 7-a of the National Industrial Recovery Act, which is likely to cause continued confusion until it has been definitely clarified. In the main the operation of the NRA has been highly advantageous to labor, through increased wages and a shortening of the working day. ^But, unfortunately, in some instances the mors radical element of the tworkers has taken advantage of the favorable aspects of the law to make demands which employers believe to be without justification. Without presuming to pass upon tho merits of any particular eontent ion of workers or employers, it may bo said that national recovery is be ing seriously retarded by the strike situation. Unless all concerned show a dispos ition to be reasonable and seek peace ful means of composing their differ ences, the entiro country is bound to suffer from the effects of increased unemployment at a time when tho de raands for relief, duo fro natural causes, are almost too great to bo met. As we on Labor Day pay deserve a tribute to the dignity of honest toil, let us also counsel modoration and a spirit of conciliation on tho part of employees and employers alike. SEEKING THE TRUTH It can hardly be denied that, with a disinterestedness not matched by any other class, the true scientist ap proaches every problem with an open mind, unfettered by (prejudice. He has no ancient beliefs or super stitions to defend, no special cause to plead, no selfish interest to advance. He tries at all times to define, so far as la humanly possible, the dividing lne between fact and theory, although he deals with both. New theories are given respectful examination and if they can be proved they are assigned their places In tho categories of fact. *And when tho scientific world in general reaches an agreement in any matter, it i3 the jbest possible evidence of ita truth. In an address before a scientific .association somo timo ago, Chief Justice Hughes said: i "We need your interest in know ledge for its own sake; your ceaseless search for truth; your willingness to discard every disproved theory, how ever honored by tradition, while you joalously conserve every gain of the past. ' While the scientific investigator, as a rule, receives meager material rewards in return for his fervices to mankind, all progress, both material and intellectual, has been primarily duo to his labors. Without the leadership of inquisi tive, investigating and indomitable minds, we should not have advanced far beyond the standards of the cave man. ;FOR HOUSE OF REPRESENTA TIVES I hereby announce myself a candi date for the House of Representa tives from Kershaw county, subject to the rules governing the Democratic primary election.
