Friday, June 12, 1931 G'ainden auto ownern who put out twelve good sound dollar* to become member* of the American Automobile Association last year can hardly read with pleasure the followipg which ap|>eare<i in the (Columbia State of recent date! "American Automobile association issues a* of April 15, 1031, an "Official Jtoad Map of the United States", which does not designate Camden aa a tourist center at all, makes Aiken a sort of appanage to Auguata ami aay? that South Carolina does not re-quire a driver's license." THE LITTLE FELLOW LOSES The jfcyiall country printer is the principal sufferer from government sale of stamped, return-addressed envelopes. Government envelopes with return addresses printed on them, are sold at the same unit price whether the purchaser takes five hundred or a million. The loss sustained by the government on small orders ia made up by high profits on quantity orders. As a result, -private envelope manufacturing concerns can furnish the large consumer printed envelopes at less thari the government's figures. But the small printer is powerless. He would be the natural recipient of the five hundred or one thousand lot orders that large manufacturers would not bother with. It is this kind of business that government competition takes away from him. The government is using all the ad vantages of its credit and purchasing power, conferred on it by the people, and encroaching on the livlihood of some of its citizens. Those politicians who are now busy telling us how to bring back prosperity might take time to reflect that one way to bring prosperity to the country printer would be to give him a chance to pursue his business without government competition. & Farmers Were Hit Hard Then This section of the state has passed through many ups and downs in the past years and has always come back and carried on. In looking up our files for "Looking Backward," thirty years ago, we find the following doleful lament from the I^ancaster I^edger, long since gone out of business: "The creeks scarcely get into their banks before another big rain comes along and puts them over the bottoms agnin. The heavy rains last Friday did considerable damage in the vicinity of Lindsay. Saturday afternoon's rain extended nearly over the en tire county and on Sunday night the heaviest rain of the protracted wet spell fell. Aside from the injury to hinds by washing, the damage to crops is incalculable. Grass has taken all the farms ami it is doubtful if half the -cotton planted can ever be hoed out. June is here and many farmers have not chopped out half their cotton crop. Thousands of acres will t.r> ahn.nrirvn?wt T*Via crop promises to be even more of a failure than the cotton crop. Oats and wheat where they have b^en cut and not hauled out of the fields are ruined. We don't remember ever to have seen our farmers look so discouraged and talk so disparagingly of making a crop." A Nt|r?'i Ackievcmeat ( Further reminder that talent and | geniu* are no raapectora of color line* comae in the recent unveiling at Tuekegee Institute of a bronae plaque in honor of Dr. George Washington Carver, (presented by Tom Hqston, of Colunfeua, Georgia. ' Dr. Carver has achieved national prominence and fatne for his research and experimental work in the development of new and useful products from southern agricultural products. He, has for instance, introduced more than !i00 by-products from the peanut und almost as many from the sweet (potato, and from clays native to the South he has developed a wide variety of1 paints and pigments. I>r. (Carver was bom in slavery in Missouri during the war of 1#61-<J6. After emancipation he worked his way through Iowa University, and later became a member of the faculty of thkt institution as a professor of chemistry. His association with Tuskegee dates back to 1896, since which time he has carried forward his research work with a painstaking zeal and with such fruitful results that he has been made a Fellow of the British Royal Society and has received a number of awards in recognition of his scientific achievements. Modest ai)d retiring despite all his honors, Dr. Carver continues to work with indefatigable industry in his laboratory. His fruitful career has been of great benefit to the iSouth, and Southern people, particularly, are gratified that a member of his race has received the recognition that has been given him for his notable work. ?Greenville News. We'll Gome Out On Top Many of our economic ills, thinks The Calhoun Times, are traceable to the automobile age in which we arc living or existing. "That machine," says The Times, "is the most powerful and bloodless revolutionizer the world has ever known. It has sent its thousand volts through the body of economy, integrity ;ind labor. The unemployment and 'hard times' bugbear can 'be traced mainly to its baneful influence." That is a pretty severe indictment, but there is no doubting the fact that the automobile has reversed the economic, social and even the religious life of the world. In other words, It has turned the world upside down. While stores and other small enterprises are closing up and going out of business nerw filling stations are being erected on every corner. At present rate of increase it will not be very long before half the world's population will be ipaking automobiles or selling gas and oils and the other half will have to find a way to pay the bill. But the automobile is here to stay ; and if it has created a bad situation we may as well try to make the best of it. The difference between the --pronont 11 n<j rprnuimit s:,wi?l <?'onomic' upheavals is that the latter have adjusted themselves to the world while the world is faced with the difficult task of adjusting itself to the former. The world has been victorious in all the battles it has fought in the past and will no doubt come out with flying colors in the present conflict, but the old veteran is pretty apt to carry some oemts i over ii long period of yTars.?Dillon Herald. % A Sumter boy, Donovan B.
