Iuse of the term "welfare
workers" in last week's chain-gang
story The Chronicle referred to any
man or act of men whose efforts
have been directed toward alleviating
the pain and embarrassment of convicted
criminals serving time in the
Kershaw county prison camps or in
prisons outside the limits of this
county.
It is only at the greatest outlay'
of Lime, energy and money that
authorities ure successful in bringing
to trial such characters as Gibson,
Gap and Cody and, upon conviction,
these men should be shown about as
much consideration as they themselves
displayed while on their froe
and reckless march through this section.
Any white man who will stoop to
steal another's automobile or bK>ak
down his store to cart away half a
stock of goods is just as guilty as
the negro who steals a pig or runs
a still and for which offenses the
black man always serves time in the
same old-fashioned way. One is as
much a criminal as Jhe other and if
any favors are to be extended it
should be upon the class who look j
toward the white man as their
guardian and example.
Prisons and gang encampments
were never intended for intelligent
men. white or1 black, but because
they voluntarily select one or the
other as their abiding place is no just
reason for changing traditional
standads of discipline and markings
to harmonize with their own extravagant
notions.
There is very little difference in a
full day's labor, he it rendered in
shop or office or on the gang, but
when a man is assured of hard sorvi*
ude, without a hand of maudlin
sympathizers to brighter, his time, he
will ponder long and much more
seriously before terrorizing a peaceloving
community in an effort to
gain his daily bread in stripes and
shackles.
The Chronicle has no personality

we'fare work among criminals but it
cii; with all propriety venture the
<<p Nion that it but seldom, if ever,
pa\ -> to shout the hallelujah with
;li,i ks of reprobates who have so
lb roughly and successfully demons'rated
that they can't carry straight
th. tunc.
A few* days ago we read of certain
t :n < ! vitizem* having been arrested
..'.I hp led into a magistrates court
hoeauM- 'hey were fcjund seated in

re ..! ,i strict ban by Governor
Ki-hnsds against boxing in the prize
ring within the State, with instruc:on.>
accordingly to Sheriffs. Now.
wo are wondering whether those who
hert after listen in on a blow-by-blow
pi ize fight somewhere over the radio
will not do so at the peril of their
liberty and peace of mind? Surely,
the latter case will be as reasonable
as the first stated, and we have not
heard of Governor Richards' having
removed from office, or even
reprimanding the Sumter officers
for having interfered with citizens
because of an unreasonable assumption
of breach of law.
"Crime and its Prevention" is to
be the main topic for discussion at
the statewide conference to be held
at Rock Hill this month of the
social workers. Good. Use every
effort in the world to prevent crime
but after it has been committed it
should be punished. It is painful
of course to do this but justice demands.
it. It is painful to a parent
to correct his erring boy but justice
and the good of the boy demand it.
If some worker pads the pants of the
bad boy so thnt the switch will make
no red marks upon his anatomy,
wont the boy be in a position to
make faces at the old man, wave a
saucy salute and be ready for another
piece of devilment?

Thr One-Kyv Automobile
In spite of the trite observation
that a half loaf is much better than
no bread, thefe are many thirty
very seriously damaged by such
division. We know of none where?
more damage it> wrought than is
seen in the one-eye automobile. To
have such a deformity come flying
down the highway at night, at a
puce somewhere neur a mile ,a
minute, and to he totally unable to
locate the right of left side of the
approaching monster, is very much
more than disturbing. The glare of
two lights is more than enough, but,
paradoxical as it may seem, the
one-eye car is us dangerous at the
average. war-time bomb.
There is but Jittlc excuse for the
widespread disregard of laws pertaining
to safety of life and limb on
our highways. They are violated as
fast, as accurately and as numerously
us are the prohibition laws. And
strange to say, the s&me evasion of
enforcing the penalty is also seen
with reference to violation of the
laws regulating the use of motordriven
vehicles. "JBy accident," in
connection with a verdict of a jury,
or of a coroner, after an automobile
accident is as commonplace as the
"line busy" sentence is when imposed.
This should not be, and were
rural and city police as rigid in this
as they are in almost every duty,
there would be an improved situation
where improvement is badly needed.
In large cities the law has provided
a penalty which works; it has
been tried and found not Wanting.
This is to immediately, permanently!
within the limits of the prescribed
law, recall the license and ^top the
career of the driver for awhile. This
seems to have more terror than any
other device known to the promoters
of safety. Disregard for the pedes-i
trian, motor rivalry, winning a race,
whirling corners, flying from a side
street into a populou^s thoroughfare,
everything but the road hog pales into
comparison with the one-eye
automobile. 1 his should be summarily
and permanently stopped.?

THK TIIIKF HIGHKK I I'
Plain Comments on tile Matter of
. .i .1...... HI if HttTM I ill If ii
t ? ,
In commenting on a recent pardon
of u well-known bank official by the
governor of South Carolina, the
Page land Journal haa the following
to say. We leave our readera to
judge aa to the t^uth of the Journal's
deductions, in view of the ' many
bank official* in this state who have
robbed and wrecked banks arid still
hold their prestige in the community
as "good citizens." Justice in this
state as regards the conduct of
public affairs is almost unknown,
says, the Dorchester Eagle. But
read on:
Then there are cases where money
has been stolen from widows, or-?
phans and hardworking depositors
by bank presidents, cashiers, or of
other institutions who have never
even been tried. They afe basking
in their ill gotten gain while those
they robbed are suffering. A premium
hua been put on dishonesty.
The thieves in high life are given
protection and their victims have
none. Rarely is it ever the case that
a bank robber of the kind named
above is given a sentence commensurate
with the crime he has committed.
Of course to be in prison a
year, two years or possibly five years
is hard, but from a money consideration
it pays. Not half the labor is
done by such prison birds during
their confinement as would be done
by them through the years that it
would take for them ttr make onehalf
the money made by the dishonest
transaction.
"If anyone can rise up in his seat
and name a case where a bank official
has received a sentence in proportion
to his crime and served it
out, we would like to Jiave the information.
We would lay hands on
many cases of where the "nigger"
and poor white has been soaked for
the crime of stealing a little candy,
a chicken, a razorback pig, and
such like. In their case it is plain
stealing, but in the case of bank and
building and loan and other highbrow
officials it is embezzling, absconding
and other high-sounding
terms, but God says plainly, THIEF.
N'o difference, except the black son
of Ham or the white son of Ham's
brother who steal is the most respectable
of the two and more deserving
of sympathy and a pardon."

IMant Winter Crops Without Delay
Clemson College, Oct. 11.? Bountiful
showers having fallen practically
throughout the State. the
planting of winter crops-} can go
forward without delay, and there
should be no delay, advises T. S.
Buie chief agronomist, who reminds
us that the essential factor in the
growing of any winter crop is for
it to be planted early enough to
have a root system established before
cold weather.
The South Carolina farmer who
considers the fall as a time for
harvesting only, and does not plant
crops at that season, as well as in
the spring, is Mr. Buie says, neglecting
a wonderful opportunity to utilize.
his soil climate.
Some of the crops which may be
planted at this season are oats, rye,
wheat, barley, vetch, Austrian winter
peas, various clovers and alfalfa, to
say nothing of the many horticultural
'"ctf&pS. ?
For winter grazing, rye with or
without a legume is excellent. Oats
and barley produce splendid crops
of grain or forage, especially oats
planted with vetch. Wheat makes
grain for the family. The various
winter legumes adapted to local conditions
are especially valuable as
cover crops. Planted after the reg- "
ular summer crop, they serve as
"nitrogen factories" throughout the
winter, for the bacteria which live
in the nodules on their roots gathering
nitroger^from the air, and* when
the crop is plowed under, this increased
supply of nitrogen i.<* |tft in
the soil for the benefit of following
crop.

THIS WEEK j
By Arthur
Mr. Brisbane'* editorials are published
as expressions of opinions
of the world's highest-salaried
editor and The Chronicle does not
necessarily endorse all of his
views and conclusions.
The American Legion in Paris
last week adopted the report of its
National1 Defense Committee, demanding
establishment of a national
air force as a separate department,
with an "Air Force Secretary"
in the Cabinet. Common
sense.
The man that had employed a
coachman got a chauffeur when the
automobile came in. Intelligent nations
will add to their Secretary
of War and Secretary of the Navy
a Secretary of the Air, now that
flying machines havjj come.
The National Machine Tool
Builders' Exposition in Cleveland,
recently was a concentrated demonstration
of industrial genius and
of Ihe tools that have built prosperity
and civilization.
Man differs from all other animals
in that he is a tool-using creature.
Animals work with their bodies,]
the beaver with teeth and broad
tail, the woodpecker with his beak,
the mud wasp with her sting, putting
stunned caterpillars in cold
storage for her unborn children.
Man with his brain, creates tools
outside of his body, then he harnesses
the ox, horse, elephant, Niagara
Falls, and the lightning to work
those tools.
Cleveland's exhibition contained
300 carloads of machinery sent
from eighty cities by 180 compan-j
ies. There were machines that will
turn thirteen-irreh guns, others
measure a light wave, a million
waves or so to the inch.
Lightning struck u barn in Virginia,
killed four persons, and two
mules, paralyzed a dog and stunned
two men. Modern lightning rods
properly installed would have prevented
that disaster Modern
protectjbn against lightning
is included in the recent White
House alteration. All around the]
balustrade above the White House]
roof, sharp, short, copper points
stand at close intervals, connected bv,
a copper cable, the whole system being
connected with the earth, also
by copper conductors, buried deep
enough in the ground to reach perpetual
moisture.
Such lightning rods give real protection.
Insurance companies recognize
that in lower rates for factories
thus protected. Old fashioned,
ba Uy installed, cheap lightning rod
constiuction is worthless or even
dangerous.
Mrs. Smith h<nl n baby in a
Cleveland hospital. She and her
husband said - it was a boy, when
they gave her a girl baby to nurse.
The father says: "They can keep
that girl, so far as I am concerned,
unless they prove it is mine." Something
of a prejudice against girl
babies in that, perhaps.
'/ One proof offered is that the girl
baby's ears are exactly like those
of the mother. That is most important.
Human ears and the "Darwinian
tubercle" that sometimes
goes with them are often inherited
from generation to generation, and
prove heredity at a glance.
Anyhow, any girl baby will repay
richly any one that takes care
of her.
Young William B. Leads, son of
the "Tin Plate King," started, his
Fokker three-motor engine flying
for Chicago last week with six
passengers and a relief pilot, he
Leeds, running the machine. They
were to stop at Cleveland, then on
to Chicago. '' Young n|en with money
can promote flying in this day as
W. K. Vanderbilt, Jr., and other
young men with money promoted
motoring twenty-five yeaTs ago.
In Little Hollo's day a good boy
would stoop to pick up a pin. The
rich, observant banker would notice
ttim, employ him, marry hifti to his
laughter, leave him -his fortune.
Economy was the watchword.Modern
James McStowe, of Canton,
Ohio, says it's an exploded
watchword.. In .Chicago he picked
Kn dlnte from the floor and as he
