UVK AT HOME Cora Harris, one of the most brilliant women of letters the South has produced, happening to know first* hand what living on a farm means, grows tired of that repeated admonitioft hurled at farmers by all other classes to this effect: "You mus-t live Ht home." lit a recent article in the Atlanta Journal she writes her protest, saying among other things: "The lordly advice urging the lui mcr to live at homo, intelligently interpreted means this?you are a pool man. You can't affort to buy anything. You must produce all you need for food arui shelter as Adam did by the sweat of your brow, and pick your overalls but of the patch. You may go to church on Sunday wearing clean ones, but you can't afford to have a wardrobe suitable for moving in polite society. >By our extravagance and our speculation wo have made you poor. We have taken the heart out of you, and the pride and ambition out of life. But you must stay at home and work, not only to feed yourselves, but to feed the rest of us, and the rtyw materials out of which our wealth comes. The sad condition in which the farmers find themselves is due to the underlying mind that inspires the phrase, 'the farmer must live at home.' " When the name of Mrs. Caro Harris is mentioned, one customarily thinks of the keen, penetrating student of human nature who wrote "The Circuit Riser's Widow," and other striking hooks, based on the experiences of life that are ingrained .. in the heart and mind. Here is another picture of this gifted woman, however, drawn by the Commissioner of Agriculture of the state of Georgia. Kugene Trtlmndire: "She is a \vi?low. lives on a farm about twelve, miles from Cartersvillo. near a little j .settlement named Rydall. Mrs. Har-( ris was left a widow at 40 years of j age' with $2.50, all of her earthly I possessions. Today Mrs. Hairis could live in as grand style as anybody in Georgia, hut she stays on the farm and lives in a log cabin on top of the mountain. In Mrs. Harris home there is no telephone and no radio."?Spartanburg Journal. CASH FOR NEWSPAPERS The weekly newspapers which have not already adopted the cash in advance subscription policy are going Hto he forced into it. owing to the! stringent times, and the fact thatj overs: hihg that goes into a printing; office has to ho paid for"at least ] once' :l month. Subscribers to daily i papers expect to pay in advance for them. They do not get them unless they do. and when the subscription, expires the p^per automatically stops. Then why should anybody expect to get their home paper which does not enjoy big business, on credit? And why should they complain when the ?*teps going to thPTlTT Tl is simply a business proposition with the woeklv papers and all of them are going to have to come to the cash in advance policy- ?They have lost thousands of dollars by not collecting in advance and have done this about as long as they can afford to.

The Democratic ticket for 1V32, chosen by the convention at Chicago on the fourth ballot for the presidential nomination will be received with , pleasure and satisfaction by the vast majority of the Democrats of the United States, particularly the members of the party in the South and West, The manner in which the national convention came around to its final decision is likewise a source of gratification. There was no "stampede" for Roosevelt in the early ballots and ample opportunity was provided for the opposition to show what strength it could muster and to center upon an opposing candidate, if it could. Hut when it became clear that the New York governor was the outstanding choice of the great majority of the delegates, the opposition?with but one notable exception?abandoned the light and came to the Roosevelt support, thus preventing any possibility of a -prolonged deadlock and declaring to the country that Franklin Delano Roosevelt is the choice of and has the enthusiastic support of (pore than four-fifths of the assembled delegates. In this development William Gibbs McAdoo has gone far to redeem himself in the public estimation from the criticism which was produced by his earlier movement to join forces with Smith in the attempt to "stop Roosevelt." Mr. McAdoo wished to see Garner nominated, hut he had no other points in common with Smith. When he saw that Earner could not win ho wisely declined to permit the Garner strength to he used as a mere cats paw for the .Smith ambitions. As a result of the convention's action, the Democratic party can go I forth into the campaign with a banj ner under which virtually all of its j elements are united in a harmonious j drive for victory. The one apparent exception to that statement lies in ; certain factions in the eastern states which have made a /ijaat-ditch fight against the New YorK governor untie i* the leadership of Alfred E. Smith, who held out to the last and is now said to be uncertain as to whether or not he will support the Democratic ticket. Under the Roosevelt 'banner, the Democratic party, however, looks for its support largely to the southern, western and border states, and the bitter fight upon him by Smith, apparently arising out of personal animus, will very probably have the effect of strengthening him in "the areas outside of the East. And it is not by any means certain that it will injure him seriously in the large eastern states. For it has become clearer in recent weeks that the attack upon! Roosevelt by Smith has been founded i in far greater degree, upon personal: motives than upon any really upbias- j cd appraisal of Roosevelt as a "weak candidate." That fact strongly discounts the Smith criticism even among his own followers. It goes a long way. indeed, to kill the Smith influence in the eastern wing of the party and should in the cmL_bring a reaction favorable to the governor. And it will not escape the attention of all citizens that the Tammany delegates refused to the last to join the Roosevelt band-wagon. There is great significance in that fact, for it portrays the Tammany crowd as so antagonistic to Roosevelt as to fail to adoft its usual political tactics of joining those it couldn't lick and thus getting in line for political consideration. Roosevelt was nominated without any help from Tammany; over its opposition in fact. As he goes into the campaign it can ho truly said that he is under absolutely no obligation whatever to Tammany. of even the slightest sort. The effect of Tammany hosility in a New York elec tion ? for a Demo- i . :at might ordinarily he considered; a- almost .rfupernh'.e handicap. Hut I > i :.. t, >?.<.. .. rt - .? iftim. *.?> .? ... ..

Hut the state outside of the city in 1P30 returned a majority for | Roosevelt, and he would thus have! j won that race with even a 50-50 ; break in the city. Whether or not : he can do that this year running for president is. of course. a question. Hut the record furnishes some ground : for the claim of the Roosevelt sup! port that he does not need Tammany , to carry New York. And that enhances the prestige of the governor outside of New York and also, we ; believe, in New York city and state : among citiiens of both parties who , detest the Tammany machine. With its clear-cut, unequivocal I i platform, with candidates who are | popular and highly esteemed by the great masses of the people, the Demj ocratic party has an unusually good : opportunity this year to carry its banner to victory and return control of the government to the p*rty of' Jefferaon, Jackson, Cleveland and; Wilson.?Greenville News. / i I Local Man's Truck In Collision With Auto , * A meaaugo received in Canulen Thursday afternoon stated that one of J.-JJ.

THE PEOPLE PAY Particularly active are public offi* cials just prior to the time they seek a return to office. Thia spring the newspapers of South Carolina have been bombarded more or less with telegrams from Senator Smith, said telegrams involving official matters at Washington in which the senator has played a fairly important part. It needs to keen analytical mind to discover the fact that these telegrams are steeped with a political flavor tending' to help re-election. There can be no general objection to this practice as the newspapers can use the material for publication . or not. .? However, there is one most emphatic objection to the matter as far as the taxpayers are concerned. These telegrams are sent to newspapers at government expense. It is just one more channel through which federal monies are spent and that the taxpayer has to meet. It is our position that the government has absolutely no business to obligate itself in this matter. It is just one of the countless expenses that have caused federal governmental costs to mount to such gigantic proportions. The following letter is from the senator's secretary in response to a query from The Herald: Mr. A, W. Huckle, Editor and Publisher, The Evening Herald, Rock Hill, South Carolina, Dear Mr. Huckle: Your letter of June 11th was duly received, but as Senator Smith is on the campaign speaking tour he has, directed me to reply to the same. In reply to your inquiry, will state that the Government bears the exj^nse of all telegrams sent by members of Congress on Government business. Such telegrams are marked "Official Business." Of course you understand that the Government i? given an exceedingly low rate by nil | the telegraph companies. If you will l refer to the several messages sent you by Senator Smith, you will see that they all pertain to official business, and in practically every instance the messages were sent night letter Government, which, as stated above, go at a very low rate. In a few instances where the paper went to press soon after dispatch of the' telegram, they were sent day letter.' I am sorry that pressure ofr'buSH ness has delayed a reply to your letter. With kind regards, I am ?. Very truly yours, Chas. E. Jackson, Secretary ?Rock Hill Herald. STUNG! (By Amicus) "For two days, sir, I have not tasted bread, Will you give me something?

DOESN'T GO FAR ENOUGH*"" A candidate for the legislature in Greenville county advocates cutting the compensation of members of the general assembly 26 per cent. Th|t is good as far as it goes, but it falls short of the mark if real economy is the object sought. Compensation of legislators ought to be reduced, and ' * there ought to be a general, sweep, ing reduction of Jhe salaries and the wages of all who have their names on the state's payrolls and those of the county as well. Until the state gets on its feet financially and the products of its farms advance from tho present lowest of all levels there is no sound reason why pay shouldnot be cut. And along with it, the vast appropriations, even for such excellent objects as primary educa- , tion, state institutions and depart-, ments, should be spared to the bone. > Rigid economy has been applied by private individuals, corporations and concejrns to keep^their heads afloat in such times.
