Bry are through?they never pay a

B|irt a dime in 9 years, nobody heard
Bdrop.
A young lounge-lizard friend of
Brim made up his mind once that
Bt *** poing to tithe his income,

1350 the ft rot week and gradually
pve less and less till he stopped
tirely. I asked him what had
Become of his tithe-agreement. He
Bud that he tithed as long as he
Bid anything to tithe, but after he
tot through paying his board and
Blrious and sundry installments for
Blinds he diddent need, he . actually
Bid to borrow a few tithes from his
Brother to make ends meet. He inBisiea
that if he tithed, he coulddent

Every Day In Every Way, We Get

I have been trying for the past
HYeral days to analyze our..preset
depression, commonly called hard
times. Parking space is about as
bwce as it Was a year ago when
the Republicans, were saying: "Yes,
w, Democrats, we did it with OUR
iWfl administration.'*
A man and 91 wotaail came to my
It week begging. They
ig in a fairly resrpecAable
Sedan. jTasked the. man
idxv't sell his car, and he
told me that if he got'
cur, he wouldn't have anybeg

man dropped in yesterday

of tobfKJCo and 2 boxes
Tor his oM lady. Some one
fice offered to give him a
rown's Mule, but he said?
nothing but Navy?if you
that, don't give me nothin'."
rot nothing, not even the
cotch for "Judy and the

olic servants (t), meaning
who get their "satin'" from

mills in less than 3 years. The cosK
of our holdings will be only a song
and we will have it sun* for them.
There is much talk about tponey in
the banks, but whose money is it?
And you hear of cheap money, but
borrow it if you can. If a furmer
engages the services of a tenant and
his flock, he has to feed that flock
for a year, rain or shine?-but not
so with industry. When (Earnings
fall off, babor drops out and the
shop''shuts up,. The nw material
producer is the goat and the boys
who use their brawn to convert said
raw materials into something useful
for the millionaires are the goat's
little billies. But we will get over
it sooner or later, and then we will
ride again in comfort.

The body of Rutledge Robinson,

Union early Tuesday morning. The
coroner decided he came tp his death
as the result of a blow from a blunt
instrument. The theory was advanced
that he was one of the negro
chicken thieves wiho killed Deputy j
Sheriff Riilph Kitchens at Spartan-I

could be obtained.

S I
South Carolina's Main Dependence
Even During Periods of Depression
I I
? t
During this period of depression, when hope is faint, confidence is shaken, bubbles burst, dreams fade away?when we are
brought suddenly face to face with realities and return to "Rock Bottom"?then of all times can we fully appreciate the value of
the textile industry. I I
\\ hen agriculture is forsaken, real estate it^ depressed, local money is scarce, investments are disappointing, retail trade is I j
slack, the public has largely ceased buying; when nothing will sell well and credit is ^withdrawn, it is comforting to realize that the I
sustaining influence of cotton mill payrolls is still felt. |' I
The true value jof a dependable, local industry is best appreciated in times such as we are now experiencing.
a ??
While unavoidable circumstances have caused recessions even in cotton mill pay rolls during the months just passed, and while II
all the mills may not toe able to return to full (operation for some time to come; even with curtailment, the cotton mills hare been,
in instances, the financial salvation of South (Carolina communities; and the commercial and financial .welfare of the state will be II
largely measured ^>y the future prosperity of the same mills. , II'
During they ear 1929, the cotton mills of South Carolina, I]
(notwithstanding heavy curtailment throughout the year,) * ',)
gave employment to 72,223 people - Ml
paying total wages of $51,927,757.00 11
(not including salaries.)
I
They consumed 1,311,119 bales of cotton.
(466,119 more bales than were raised in the state)
(All of the above figures (are taken from the 1929 Year Book of the Department of Agriculture, Commerce and Industries of
' South Carolina.)
How would South Carolina have fared (without this? If the price of cotton is Jow now, where would it have been had the mills M
not used the crop?/ What would the 72,223 employees and a hundred thousand or more dependents have done for a living?
These facts are presented by the industry, with a feeling of deep responsibility for the welfare of the State, and with the hope I
that cotton manufacturing through the years tp come will always, as in the past, bear its responsibility well and become an even I I
more important factor in safeguarding the ^interests of the state and its peopl^. I j
