A I)ISTIN(T COMPLIMENT
Kershaw County boasts of having
one of her fanners, Mr. J. L. Gettys,
among fifteen Master Farmers who
have been chosen from u list of more
than forty outstanding farmers, in
South Carolina whose farms were
visited by Mr. (J. L. Newman, Associate
Editor of the Progressive Farmer,
and Mr. A. A. McKeown, District
Extension Agent, and scored according
to a rigid score card.
It is a distinct honor to Kershaw
County to have one of her farmers
recognized in this manner and Kershaw
County is justly proud of the
fact that Mr. Gettys has brought
this honor to the County as well as
to himself. Much interest has been
shown in connection with the Master
Farmer movement during the past
two years throughout the United
States. This is the first year that
South Carolina has named Muster
Farmers, Mr. Gettys was nominated
by a local committee of which the
< ounly Agent was chairman and the
Home Agent and others were members.
Each County in the State was
allowed one nominee from which
fifteen were to be finally chosen for
this honor. This does not mean that
Kershaw County hus no others
who could score high enough to he
classed as Master Farmers, but it
does indicate that there is one or
more who get a higK_jitandar<i and
maintains it on a Kershaw County
farm.
Mr. Gettys along with the other
fourteen Muster Farmers from the
State will lie given recognition of
their achievements at Clemsoti College
on Thursday of Farmers Week.
To Direct Campaign
The following from the Columbus
((wi.( Ledger will be read with interest
here, where Hicks F'ort at one
time made his home. He is now a
prominent attorney of Columbus:
"Governor L. G. Hnrdmaa has i
named Hon. T. Hicks F'ort and Hon j
Sam A. Nunn to manage his cam-!
paign for renomination as chief ox-'
ecutive in the coining State primary.!
'rt doing he has placed his in- !
terests in good hands.
"Colonel Fort, now a memiber or j
the Governor's official staff", has been
an ardent supporter of the Hardrartn
administration. He was president of
the Muscogee county Hardman club
in the last campaign, and contributed*
much towards its success. Mr. Nunn
was a.so active in the former campaign.
and both are staunch backers
>f the executive.
"Governor Hardman expects to open
his campaign next week, when he will
confer with Colonel Fort and others,
before outlining his platform. He is
to be congratulated on his selection
of these leading Georgians to direct
his race for re-election."
If AI Smith can get all of the
Smiths in line and split even on the
.Jones's and Brown's Hoover and his
.Republican purty will be out of luck.
A Miami newspaper consisting of
2ti pages has 21 solid pages listing
city lots at Coral Gables which arc
advertised for public sale on account
of non-payment of taxes. The owners
of the lots are marked as "unknown."
What a story of wild
i aims, shattered hopes and sad
hearts this reveals!
\ crnon Lyles, a farmer living near
Concord, was leading a cow across
the Southern Railroad at a road
crossing in front of a train. He got
safely across, but returned* to pull
the cow over by her chain. He was
thrown some distance and killed, and
the cow was so tangled up with the
underworks of the engine that the
track was blocked for an hour. The
man was <5 years old and leaves a
widow and several children.
James W. Holt, a prominent mill
man, died Tuesday at Maiden, N. C.,
aged 76 years, and the funeral was
held Wednesday from the Methodist
church. His wife died only 11 weeks
ago. He was born in Orange county
and reared in Rockingham.

EUREKA HARRER .SFH>P.
I. B RNOLBSH, Proprietor.
Am The Rural I'rrmn Sees It
The weekly arid semi-weekly press
of South Carol ma views the present
political situation from a number of
Interesting angles. They range from
the liquor issue to the so-called "nigger
issue" and from the encourage;
mailt of bolting to a condemnation
I of the practice, says The Greenville
News.
The Marion Star, for instance is
seriously concerned over the maintenance
of white supremacy, and says
that "he is indeed a poor sport wno
went or sent to Houston, hoping to
defeat Smith arid then losing, refuses
to bow to the majority." Smith, it
says, is "doubtless not the choice of
many of us, but we have the makings
of a bigger fight, right here at home,
than Catholicism versus Protestantism,
or prohibition versus liquor?and
that fight is a fight between the white
man and the black man?a fight
which is sure to come if southern
Democracy fails to stand staunchly
together as a unit, barring political
equality to the ignorant negro masses."
On the other hand the Greer
Citizen notes much frank discussion
of way^of voting against Smith without
violating the party oath. "The
seriousness of these conversations indicates
the end of party coercion in
the general election," it says. "It
will not come to pass this year, but
the idea is growing. The 'nigger'
scare is losing its potency."
The Keowee Courier remarks that
every day the party seems to be getting
wetter and wetter, and it fears
for the future. While it may be doing
a wise thing politically this year,
the future must be reckoned with.
Our party may win a victory with a
whisky label in 11K>H and regret it for
many- years to come," it says. The
Courier says the "solid South" is to
be used this year "to help pull the
stopper out of the bungholo for wet
New York" and other states, and that
the party is catering to the wet interests.
It asks "how long is the South
going to be certainly Democratic under
such conditions?" There is already
a tendency to cast aside party
affiliations, it says, and while that
is not healthy in its party aspects,
"it is indeed healthy in its general
and wider trend,;' It predicts that
"the time will come when the South
cannot be counted on as certainly
Democratic" that the trend is" toward
independentism, which is a "health v
sign."
Quite another view of the liquor
angle comes from the Camden Chronicle
which is moved to smiles at the
Yorkvilie Enquirer's declaration that
we would oppose St. Peter himself
if he was running on a wet platform."
The Chronicle says Smith is "most assuredly
not running on a wet platform,
but that on the contrary his
election "will mean the most rigid enforcement
humanly possible since
liquor revenues w^re diverted from
government coffers to strictly private
enterprises, the bootleggers and
, oui questionable type of prohibition
| agents." Those who say Smith is
wet could draw u similar indictment
ngainst the whole country, says
the ( hronicle, and it remarks that
there is a feeble possibility that
some prohibitionists ure perfectly
satisfied with prohibition as handled
during the past eight years."
It hopes are held," it concludes,
that our next President will change
the liquor situation we should usk ony
one of two things: Give us less
liquor or give us better liquor. Certainly
none need ask for more liquor;
it s too plentiful now!"
The Pickens Sentinel denounces the
blacklist book" of the Greenville
county executive committee and says
is is the work of men who "have more
zeal than wisdom, and it is likely that
its adoption in other counties would
cause a revolt of voters." In another
comment, The Sentinel says that
the Democratic label has been stolen
by the "Hum-Rome-Tammany coalition
which has wiped its feet on and
chucked out the real Democratic
party and formed a new party of its
own." At the head of the new patry,
it says we have three men who belong
to an organization that believes
in the doctrine of union of church and
state; two of them belong to an
organization that believes m unrestricted
immigration, and all of them
opposed !o prohibition. And they
call themselves Democrats!"
The Sentinel has no objection "to
the new party entering the field,"
and censures nobody for supporting it,
Jut,it "strenuously objects to its disfranchisement
in the white man's primary
in South Carolina of those
voters whose conscientious belief will
not allow them to swallow the slimy
mess concocted by Tammany and it's
alien associates." The Sentinel, of
course, denounces Rule 32.
The Williston Way observes unusual
activity on the part of the Republican
leaders of. the state and
thinks Democrats should take note of
this opposition and prepare to cast
their ballots. It says Tolbert "appears
jublilant," will organiz? Hoover
clubs everywhere, "predicts at
least one active Republican candidate
for Congress and that a full electora.
ticket will be put out and looks for
a heavy Hoover vote in South Carolina.
No one has yet predicted that
Hoover w,II carry South Carolina.
JW.Ji* J*"- 'but 'f Democrat,
reel that they can remain awav from
the polls in November in perfect safety,
they should observe the Repub;
Mean activity about them."
