ARMISTICE DAY Armistice Day, marking the 16th anniversary of the end of the World War, again recalls tihte stern reali ties of that titanic struggle, which changed the map of the world. The significance of the events which have occurred since Novem ber 11, 1918, may be variously in terpreted, according to the view point from which we see them. To 6om$ it will appear that great pro gress has been made toward univer sal peace, while to others tihfe trend of events will imply grave danger for the future. Even a single individual may reasonably waver between hotpe and fear ? hopeful when some felicitous occurrence seems to draw the na tions closer together; fearful when an outbreak here or there threatens to undo all efforts for concord and understanding. No ono is wise enough to foretell the future. Was the "war to end war" the last great clash of nations, or was it only the prelude to more frightful slauglhter and destruction yet. to come ? Only tinrve can give the answer, but in the meantime it ibehooves all right-thinking persons, and particu larly those in positions of influence and responsibility, to exercise what ever they may possess of tolerance, forbearance arid the will to do jus ticee to their fellowmen. TRAIN TOMORROW'S DRIVERS TODAY! High schools throughout the coun try are being called upon by leading educators to enact a major role in solving the automobile accident pro blem. Theirs is the task, it is said, to put a more careful and compe tent generation of motor car driv eis on the atreets and highwlays by making instructions in safe driving a credited part of me regular cholastic curriculum. As a contribution to this cause, and to give tlhte schools definite tools with which to work, the Edu cation Division of the National Safety Council in New York City has prepared a textbook on the sub ject called: "Cood Driving? A Manual for the High fVchools." The book was prepared under the direct y Ion of a wcondary school committee jf*?-'; v?0jMUtli>g of such men as Dr. ' 7 Thomas Gosling, Director of the Junior Red Cro3s; Francis L. Bac on, principal of the Evanston, 111., Township High Sdhtool; Prof. E. K. Fretwell of Columbia, and Prof. Robbins B. Stoeckel o i Yale. In brief, the manual attempts to describe what an automobile is and how to operate it. It i3 illustrated with chaa-ts and photographs and contains a list of reference mater ial for those who wish to develop special topics. Six units of instruct ion are outlined: Automobile in modern life, the automobile, the driver, the operation of an automo bile oo the highway, accidents, and accident prevention. The importance of tttfis work is emphasized by the fact that in some states there is ho law to prevent a child from stepping from the tiller of his kiddie car to the wheel of a high powered automobile. In !-;o state is there any legal provision requiring pre-license instruction. Last year automobiles killed nearly 50,000 person3. The opportunity for high schools to perform an invaluable service to (humanity could hardly be greater. LIBERTY AND TYRANNY The history of the world, since | t!he dawn of civilization, portrays a never-ending battle between the forces of Liberty and Tyranny. Tyranny is exemplified by such different theories as Monarchy, the Divine Right of Kings, Communism, Fascism. Liberty too ha.$ worn | many faces from the time the Magna Charta was wrung from King John, down to the establish ment of democracy as we know it now. Today the forces of Tyranny have come into i?wer in many great na tions. They have subjected whole peoples to their will, using as tih'eir weapons, terroism, assassination, suppression of freedom of speech, freedom of action, freedom of wor ship. Liberty is always wr?n with blood and sacrifice, and the United States was no exception to the rule. There is no more inspiring chapter in his tory than that telling of the lives and works of those who founded and maintained . this country ? of Washington, Adams, Jefferson, and the rest. Theirs is the spirit and tftite purpose which should govern, the thoughts, actions and emotions of the American people today. No American citizen would willingly accept Tyranny, whatever its form ? but there is grave danger, that, in our eagerness to solve the per plexities of the 'present, we will give up rights and prerogatives that are essential to the preservation of a free people. It makes little difference whether the individual is subjected to the dictatorship of kings or politicians. It makes little difference whether liberties are destroyed by law or by force of arms. If we, the American peotple, barter ancient principles for temporary benefits, the founders of the nation will have lived in vain.

Davis, AAA Administer recently. "Through organization, his strength multiplies. Only as he can and will express himself through organization is the fanner's influ ence felt ip national councils." That brief statement concerns every American f aimer. One of th'e greatest difficulties faced in the past, both by iprivate and public bodies, in seeking to stabilize ar.d improve farming conditions, has been lack of organization. Too many farmers existed solely as in dividuals, and had no one to speak for them. In brief, agriculture lacked centralized authorities of the farmer's own choosing, who could exert continued and aggressive ef forts to bettering his status. That was true, and is probaibly still true, ot the majority of farm ers. But a minority of farm pro ducers have a different story to present. These farmers have join ed in creating' great organization. They have elected directors who hire trained, experienced executives. And no or.e who tifas watched agri culture during recent years can help but be impressed by the progress these associations have rnnde. Deal ing in milk, cotton, fruits and other products, they have met and solved many problems. They have had their ups and downs. While they haven't brought about an agricul tural millenium, members of these cooperative farm organizations have had a mudh happier time of it than have unorganized farmers. The old saying that "In union theire is strength", was never more apt than it is today ? and .it goes for farmers as well a a all other work ers and producers. YOU I'AY THE BILL Accoiding to a recent survey, the total cost of government in the United States during 1934 will be about $17,000,000,000. Seven billion of this is being 3pent by the federal government, $2,000,000,000 iby the states, and $8,000,000,000 by local governments. In 1933, the total national income was slightly in excess of $40,000, OQijTOOOr"^Most economists believe 'that tW 1934 figure will be about t)he same. As a result, government spending for the current year will amount to 42 per cent of all the money we re ceive. The fact that part of the expen ditures are being made with the aid of bond issues, which will not have to be paid until some future date, does not affect the principle at stake. The main fact is that cost of government is reaching the point wilvere it will exceed the abil ity of the (public to pay. A substan tial part of the cost of everything wo buy is represented (by taxes. Taxes are part of the cost of a glass of beer or a gallon of gas: of a fur coat or a pair of shoes, of a town car or a coffee pot. The manufac turer who makes an article, the middleman who distributes it, the dealer who sells it ? all are heavily taxed, and each must pass his taxes on to the ultimate consumer ? you. It is to your interest, whether worker or employer, to demand that all h?raneho3 of government cut ex penses, precisely as busineses and individuals Ivavo been forced to do in order to survive.

D. i \ Game Association Meets Wednesday The next meeting of the Fish and Game Association of Kershaw County will be held on Wednesday, November 7th, at the American Legion Hall nt 7:30 p. m. The club is counting on having the state president, "Zan" Heyward that night and a full attendance is expect ed to be present to hear an interest ing talk by Mr. Heyward, who is very much interested in the conservation of fish and game. He is an authority on conservation and a lover of out door life. The club will dispense with the .ittle supper at this meeting, but members can get sandwiches and drinks from the fountains near the Legion Hall. The association had a most attract ive booth at the County Fair, which was in charge of Ralph Chase. Quite I a few new members were obtained by Mr. Chase and hiB assistants during the Fair. Many have paid their an nual dues. The annual dues are pay able October 1st, which is about the1 time the hunting season opens. A full program is being planned by the association for the coming year, including the state field trials in the Spring. A secret committee will be appointed by the president of the club to report violations of game laws, and to cooperate with the game warden. No one but the president knows who is a member of the committee. One thing this committee will be particu larly active in is breaking up of sell ing and buying partridges, shooting out of season and trapping fish. The person buying partridges is just as liable to a fine as the person selling them. Quite a number of ladies have joined the association and will be on hand at this meeting; also many tour- j ists, who are now arriving daily. The eeunty game warden and the members I of the county legislative delegation, .is well as the newly elected members are especially invited to attend this meeting. The association has received an in vitation to the Clover Leaf Field Trials, which are to be held at Clover, S. C., on Tuesdajf, November 20th. The amateur and all-age derby is open to pointers and setters to be handled by amateurs and silver tro phies to first, second and third win ners. There will also be an "open all-age derby, in which 75 per cent of the entryLfee will be divided three ways ? 50, 30 and 20 ? with an entry fee at $15.00. Mr. Hardin, president of that asso ciation, expects to have dogs from his section in the Camden field trials next Spring. SECOND RENTAL AND PARITY TO HE PAID SOON The county agent ha3 received notices of acceptance and prelimi nary papers in preparation for disbursing tfofle second rental pay-1 ment and the finat parity payment under the cotton contracts. Notices have been prepared in the county agent's office and will be dispatch ed t.o the farmers over the county within about 3 hours after the checks are received. It is expected that. these checks will bo distribut ed from Blaney, Bethune, Kershaw and Camden for the convenience of the farmers over tJfoe county, there by saving many of them the trip to Camden. The parity checks to be distributed in this group will amount to $28,585.13. The rental checks will amount to $46,511.60, or a total for thi.s disbursement of $75,096.73. All of the contarctsare :iot represented in this list but it is expected that, tho.^e not receiving payment out of this group of checks will receive their shortly thereafter. The iparity payment is (based on what the government feels m a fair price for cotton. The parity period on which it is figured is the time between 1910 and 1914 during which period cotton sold for enough money to buy sufficient amount of other commodities that, it was felt that cotton was on a parity with other c m modi ties. The cotton contracts state that the parity payment will be at loats 1 cent per pound on 40 per cent of the farm allotment. These parity paymonts which we exiptect to (71s burse within the next rfoveml days will be nt tho rnto of 1 cent per pound on 40 per cent of the farm allotments as indicated in the con tracts. It, will not be necessary to write to the county agent'* office regarding these checks notices will be mailed immediately upon receipt of the checks from Wash ington.? Henry D. Green, Co. Agt.

COTTON RENT A I, AND PARITY PAYMENTS ARE PART OK COTTON INCOME The rental hnd parity payments typing received by our farmers dhbuld be considered as a definite part of their cotton crop or cot to > enterprise. Many people t<> think that all the money they are making out, of their cotton under the adjusted program is what, they receive for the bales they sell.
