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."

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.

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
