Home, Sweet Home
? Not long ago a real estate dealer
in a large city, {While in a pessimistic
mood, was heard to say: "The
demand for city homes igrfalling offevery
day. The average man Is living
at his club or in his automobile.
jHis wife's. time is taken up ,; with
bridge, parties and other outside affairs.
All they want is a place in
which to rest their tired bodies when
midnight comes^and there is no place
to go." It used to be said that the
heaVthstone was the foundation on
which civilization rested. If this is
true it is obvious that civilization's
foundation 1s crumbling. The pleasures
and attractions of the big world
on the outside have drawn heavily on

Representative Dominick placed in
the record newspaper article from a
candidate for the Anderson-post office
who said .he was told he would have
t? Pay $1,250 for the appointment.
There were three eligibles, but
Mr. Ddminick indicated that, he did
not believe the present postmaster
was the author odf the unsigned statement.
Representative Hare told the committee
he had no direct evidence- to
prove that Tolbert and his henchmati
had collected money, allegedly for
ments concerning ^contributions'*
Were common knowledge in South
Carolina. a
Some df the affidavits could be
summarized as follows: J. W. Johnson,
pf Gray Court; voluntary con-:
tributions of $150 to Tolbert in sevaiii<
years; Jesse W. Bird, of Inihan, no;
demand, voluntarily contributions of
small sums;-John W. Geraty, of
Youngs Jsland,. $500 to Tolbert for
tbe 1923 Republican campaign fund,
$500 also in 1927 to Tolbert, and
$350 for the Grace campaign fund in
Charleston.
, From Fountain Inn came the affidavit
of Melvin L. Sips, who said 1
that in 1923, Tolbert ^Sold Sipe's ;
fatber-jn-law,' T. B. Martin, that the
poatmastership would be vacant, and
urged Martin to try for it. Martin
did not want it, and Sipe was suggested.
It was intimated that $200
would be the proper sum to get the
job. ..
A. D. Webster, a "Republican leader
in South Carolina, reported from
Orangeburg that he had contributed
^liberallyM as a privale citlzen."
. H. N. Folk stated from Bamberg
that he had given each year since
he attained legal manhood.
-1 F. B. Gaffney of Gaffney swore
that he had given $500' In cash to
Tolbert.
" 'jHi" Rnpnhlinnn mktinnwl rnmmitteQman,
Gaffney said, did not stipulate
any sum,~ but' said that all postmasters
were expected to contribute.
Gaffney said he gave $50, through
Former Congressman Finley during
the Democratic administration at
Washington.
<;< Julia E. D. Tolbert, of Ninety-Six,
said she gave $25 voluntarily to L.
W. O. Blalock in 1908 and $50 ip
1924 to Tolbert.
John R, Tolbert, of 'Abbeville contributed
to aid the party, he said
Llda E. Sesler of Cowpens also gave
"voluntarily" to Tolbert for political
workT^handing Him the money as
^referee" during the past seven years.
|?a. R. Barrttt -ttf Rock Hill paid
$125 voluntarily to Tolbert, and the
Walfcalla postmaster gave $100ijn the
same way just before the Kansas

contributor to the Republican cause

John D. Carson, postmaster at
Spartanburg, said ho handed G. II.
Smith, the negro county chairman.
$25 in March, 1928, to pay 'tfanaportation
of five delegates to the
state convention, and gave Smith $10
thirty days later, for a Spartanburg 1
meeting. , _ i
$125 voluntarily to Tolbert., and the i
James II.. McCord,.of Hodges, told!
of how It. H. Tolbert came to him1
in 1924 and asked for $100 for the,
political campaign. MeCord saysj
he has paid, during the last four J
years, three sums of $100, and one|
of $50, It. It. Tolbert objected to
this, and told MeCord he "should do
better."
George 11. Patrick, of Bowman,
said in his affidavit that he paid $100,
in October, 1027, $150 in December
of the same year, to B. J. Mixon,
who said contributions were custom
ary, but not demanded. !
It appeared to be suggested that!
since Patrick had received appoint-!
ment, he should pay $250 which he
did. Other affidavits carried this
data: Paul M. Davis, of Donalds,
voluntary contributions; John S.
Cathcart, of Hartsville, voluntary
contributions of $125 each in 1020
and 1027, and $50 in 1028. Luther J
V. Martin, of Mullins, $100 to Tolbert
in 1024 for Republican work;
William H. Lott, of St. George;
amounts of $5 to $10 since 1922, for
local Republican work; J. W. Karnes,
of Georgetown, $100 in 1924 and $100
in 1028, both through Tolbert; Nettie
C. Moore, of Honeu Path, amounts ;
of $20 to $40. John A. Chase of
Florence, was ached for money in
l.ie Wilson administration This hj>pos^ed
tp be a Democratic contribution.
'
Cecil S. Rice, of Denmark, said he
gave voluntarily to the Democratic,
national committee during the Wlson
administration.
1 rom Piedmont, O. M. Huff stated
that Tolbert raid he heard that people
were demanding money for-jobs.
Tolbert, according to Huff, advised
telling the solicitors "to go to hell"
and aovised that no money be paid
out for influence.
Dr. Frank Crane Says:
r (This newspaper will-for some
weeks continue to publish the work
of the late Dr. Frank Crane. . Dr
Crane recently passed away at Nice
France. Before leaving for Europe,
he had prepared a number of articles
in advance.) .
?-?? - ijuik ~~
Milk is perhaps the most ideal food
f6r a human being. It is our only
food in infancy and a food too little
used by adults. It has been called
"the perfect food." I
It is a food, however, that is hard
to keep, for it readily spoils at too
great a temperature.
We have oreserved all other kinds
of foods, we have salted ftah, canned
. ii11..wim
vegetables and fruit, canned meat
and smoked ham.
^ In 1851 a man went to England
with a meat biscuit he had invented.
On the ship on which he traveled
there were cows to give froBh milk.
At that time most vessels resembled
floating barnyards, that is, most vessels
that pretended to give human
comfort. The inventor observed on
his Return trip home in the sumttter
that the cows were sea sick, the milk
was bad and many babies died.
Coming home he devised a process
of drying milk and canning it. After
much difficulty the enterprise was
successful.
It grew to great proportions during
the Civil War, when the government
bought the entire. output of his fac*
tories. 7 7
Since then preserved milk has been
a lx>on"to aTTexplorers whether Jin
the froien regions of the north or in
darkest Africa.
Herbert Hoover preserved the liv#fc
and health of some 1,200,000 Belgian
children by condensed milk.
Our own-Mr. Strauss has provided
himself a public benefactor by supply-*
ing pure milk fqr babies.
" i
Any traveler in Europe is familiar
witti the dirty milk that is supplied
everywhere from milkmen's cans.
These have befcn replaced almost entirely
in America by the bottle.
Still about 6,000,000 children in the
.United States between the ages of
two and fourteen are undernourished.
They are stunted(/ for lack of proper
food, usually for lack of milk. The
various companies .handling milk have
done much good_ by diseminating
knowledge as to the value of pure
I milk. Pure milk has as much to do
with preventing infant'mortality as r
any other one thing. In China, years
I ago,, when they had plenty of*cows,J
they created a great civilization, now
that they have cut down their forests
and eateh their cow>. they kill as
"many babies as thiy fSt?6~. Y?TB|m* ~'~
not bring Up a child, with success,
ontaa."?-y
Those health departments in the
.various cities which are insisting on
pure milk end the companies which
owe their, success to the distribution
of pure milk, deserve all encouragement.
Nothing could, be of more importance
to the public health than the
maintenance of a supply of pure milk.
Throw out the old calendar and
get a new one?make your resolutions?it's
New Year's! We hope
the New Year will be as wonderful
for you as you have made the past
_year for us.
