that President C. Coolidge invited
a bunch of bombastic, bull dozing Republicans
to a White {louse breakfast

coffees and water they discussed the
Republican campaign of 1928, Among
those present, the papers said, was

this scribe one of the most able of

Wisconsin.
Governor Up Against it
Governor Richards faces the hardest,
the most stormy time of any Governor
since Cole L. Rleu.se. The "high
tax advocates and plutes," as Dr.
Dreher, the bold editor of the Calhoun

McLaurlu Talks of Future
The above in a nut-shell, are the
vlewa of ea-lJnit. d Senator
John L. McLaurin of Bennetts vilk,
who talked most interestingly to this
correspondent relative to the political
situation. MoLaurin hus had his ups
and his down in the political puff
His hair is whiter thai, ever to.iay.
It is thinner. The vicissitudes of
three decades and more have passed
over his gentle brow; but his eye is
still keen; his mind is us bright and
biilliant ami alert as ever. He keeps
that eye out for to see what is going
on; both at home and abroad. He is
mentally and physically busy all the
while. Recently he has written a
book ty be called "White Indian."
lie luughed when u New York publisher
offered him $1,500 for it. He
figures that the moving picture rights
will be worth several times that much.
And they will.
Discussing South Carolina's new
governor, Mr. Richards, for whom he
has great admiration, and looking
into the jKilitical future in the way
characteristic of him, Mr. 'Md.aurin
among other things remarked:
Governor Richards "deserves the
support of every person in South
Carolina who wants lower taxes, just
as he is certain to have the opposition
of every man whose living depends
upon the job he holds. Candidly,
I don't blame those who have
jobs to fceJLthat way about it. Rut
most of us, my son, don't have political
jobs. Some of us, including myself,
who have hel l them, don't want
them any more. 1 had a job once as
United States Senator from South
Carolina. I had it for six years. It
paid $5,000 a year and cost me four
times that much a year to hold it.
And it is well I got out of it,>else 1
would no longer be in the land of the
living. But most of we South Carolinians
do not have political jobs; and
the burden, my boy, to support those
who do have them is growing greater
and greater. Governor Richards is
trying to reduce that burden. As I
have pointed out, it is a man's job?
hje the job of many men to bring
that about.
Cream For Columbia
It is to the business interests of
Columbia to constantly increase governmental
expenditures," the Benncttsville
statesman observed. Thus
it is the whole atmosphereAy which
the governor is surrounded is against
reduction of expenditures. If he uses
the veto power to the limit he can
force concessions; and by such veto
powerc is the only way it will come
at present. The legislature now at
work, or play, 1s the result of a primal
y where the issues were purely personal.
Jt is fortunate that the governor
now has a four-year term and
the legislature only two. If Mr.
Richards will crystallize sentiment in
the next two years and I believe he
will, then he himself will be the issue
in 1928, just as the late Senator Tillman
was in 1890.
"I may, not be Tiere to see it, bui
those who are still living in the Palmetto
State, I predict, will see the
hottest political fight since Tillman's
1890 campaign. Every cause needs a
leader and if the first message' of
Governor ^Richards may be taken as
an indication, he will (.eriuiidy piove
almost capable leader. In 1890 the
cry was, 'Are you for Tillman?' and
when Cole L. Blease came along the
Cry? was, 'Are you for Blease or
dgainst him?' So in 1928, I do believe,
the one question is bound to
be; 'Are you 4 bureaucrat or a Democrat?
Are you for' Richards or the
Ring?' Men always have - to rally
mound a leader?a ^omebod^W&O is
Oppression of their innermost
.soul. The'Reformer in 1890, rallied
around the 'Clemson Bequest.' It was
the only battle flag. Thus I say that
inscribed on the political banner of
lOUH will be ffirc yuu?for the .governor?'
Their Day About Done
"It is my belief/' continued Senator
McLaurin, that the time for the
fence straddling representative is
drawing to a close. While in Columbia
and around the State House recently
_JL couldi it. seemed, hear the
muttering# of the . Coming storm.
While many men in that body are
backing Richards, yet it seems to me
_(hey lack the elbow touch. Not so
with Richards' oppbsTlTdn which" is
plentiful. They are held in unity by
the,cohesive force of the public spoils
system, which is dominating in the
state and ^bankrupting the people. U
da they. da it/ you ask T.
"Why simply by running them
crazy over good roads, higher education
and everything else which ini
creases expenditures of government.
So far as hunting new sources of taxation
is concerned; that Will not help
the situation even should those new
sources be found. It would only
y
^ . -V _
^ 'N"** *v.iw -jf-"!aRsnpf
shift the burden; because it does uot
matter whether u tax is direct or indirect?in
the final analysis it is promotive
labor that pays the freight.
He who creates is he who pays arvl
when you destroy him, you deal the!
ieath bjow to the state.
"Ba<k Richards"
Nine out of ten men and women.
t>? whom one talks will say thai j
I South ( arolina could and should havyl
a more economical government that i
we aie going hog wild over education!
and good toads. The only way to j
bring absolute economy in govern- !
ment is to back the governor; and to
put a black murk against the nanus
of those opposing bis policies. Such
policy will bring about the desired
effect as I know from experience."
* Newspapers Should Help
Declaring that newspapers are the
greatest force on earth for molding
public opinion; and for bringing
about it-formation in any line needed,
Mr. Mcl.aui in said he believed every
newspaper in the stale should upifold
the bands of the chief executive?at
this time of ull tunes. The Yorkville
Enquirer and the South Carolina
Gazette ought to g i into every nook
and turner in this state.. They uro
doing wonderful woik. In 1890 wo
called on the people to take tho
l harleston World and there was H
most tenet-kable response. Those opposed
to us had to take the World
to tint out whut was going on.
"The same thing ought to be done
again. Never was there such need
for the people to be informed on public
matteis as now. The trouble with
the Enquirer and with Walter Duncan's
South Caiolina Guzette is that
they are too modest?not nearly so
aggressive in going after circulation
as Lhey should be. Both newspapers
should appeal to those who want n
more economical and more efficient
state government, to subscrbe. The
Enquirer and Gazette are really
state-wide papers and no man in pub- 1
lie life can afford to be without the
Enquirer's capitol correspondence and
Duncan's expert articles on taxation.
It is generally realized over the state
tlmt the trwo papers are thorns in the
flesh for the Bureaucrats and the
fight has only just begun.
''I could talk on and on all night
about the need for economy now as
never before, concluded McLaurin; J
and how the life is being squeezed out
of the' 'common herd.' H<-pe lies In
Richards?-great hope. He needs encouragement
now; but b<- will need
it more later on. Every citizen should
write him and tell him they are with
him to the limit. Every citizen should
wiite his oi her respective delegates
in the assembly and make the theme
of those letters h ; 'We are fur Ui.h
ard,s and nyabmt *.h. It'r.g. Are
you?'" -b.<. I). Grist.

THE remarkable success of Avery
"Bee Line" Middle Bursters la the
result of Ion# years of study of the
middle burster arid its use on the furm.
There Is nothing revolutionary in their
design. We huve merely ironed out the
troubles which huve beset the users of
middle bursters in the past.
For example, the tendency to duck
and dive hes been overcome. So has
the tendency to waver from aide to side.
You turn a "bee line" furrow from end
to end?and without the slightest
strain on your ni ms or back. You do
the work better and faster than you
ever before thought possible.
One important reason for all tills is
new and improved stinger. You ought
to see it. It's a ten! one. Tlfis stinger
_ is keen and sharp?cunnot act as a seesaw
for the bottom to teeter on. It
8TAYS sharp, too, because it is made
from thin section heat-treated steel. It
Is reversible, easily adjusted and Inc*i>cnalvc
to replace.
Avery "Bee Line" Middle Burster*
are worthy successors to the many
wonderful Avery middle bursters which
have preceded them. Bvrry good point
has been retained. Faults common to
ordinary bursters have been avoided.
They represent the latest and best
thought of the world's oldest farm implement
manufacturer on this important
subject.
There are three models of Avery "Bee
Line" Middle Bursters. The "Yellow
Jacket" model is specially designed for
use in black lund. The "Sand Fly"
model is just the tiling for mixed land
and the "Hornet" (chilled) is ideal for
sandy land. All models embody the
improvements outlined ul the left.
