"7IM belk *Out
of tho one hundred and twcn'
ty four member* of the last house of
representative* of >Sol,th Carolina,
only thirty were renominated in the
.recent primaries. This is perhaps |
tho largest record of casualties
anionic pepre?int?tlve? that tho state
has ever had. The condition of af-1
fairs throughout the country, tho
burdensome taxes and the unrest naturally
resulting therefrom, contributed
largely to the placing of now
faces in the legislative hallA for the
ensuing term.
It is significant to note, though,
that while other leaders in the house
were l?Vitig cast aside by their people,
J. R. (dim) Hoik was returned
by the voters ofSis couitty by one of
tho most overwhelming majorities
ever given a candidate for re-election.
Under existing conditions his
receiving practically throe-fourths of
the votes in Kershaw county is one
of the finest tributes ever paid to a
man here. His zeal and untiring efforts
in behalf of the people; his valiant
fight against high appropna-1
tlons, and his frankness in discussing
issues, held to him all of his old
friends and made many more for him.
Kershnw county is most fortunate
that among the now and untried it
will have the benefit of the experience
and ability of Jim Belk in tho
next house.
Mr. Belk and Mr. Getty* represented
Kershaw county in the house
two sessions with pronounced ability,"
and we believe that if Mr. Gettys had
consented to offer for re-election he
would likewise have been returned,
it is quite likely that the other gentleman
aspiring would not have offered
had he been inclined to again
represent the people. The people of
the county feel, however, that in Mr.
Bowcn. Mr. Belk will have a worthy,
colleague in the house.
TWO BOYS AND A MULE
This is the story of two little jboys
and a mule. ,
Together they Have worked a cotton
patch by daybreak and moonlight.
and the patch is the pride of
the Abbeville Red Cross colony.
11 happened like this. The father
of the two children has one great
rawboned mulo which he uses to work
tho family crop. Naturally during
the plowing season he used it all day,
so the boys had no chance to have a
cotton patch of their own, except one
which they made for themselves.
They tumbled out of bed each morning
as soon as there was enough light
to see outside, hitched the mule to
the plow and took turns breaking up
the earth. By the time the father had
his breakfast it was nearly sun-up
and the boys had plowed several
rows.
At night, when the father came in
at "dusk dark" from the fields and
went in t<? get his supper the boys
again took the mule and plowed in
their patch many times by moonlight.
At last the cotton was planted
and now it is waist high.
The mule has worked both crops
and so after all isn't this a story of
the mule as well as two energetic
boys??-Greenville News.
EMPLOYMENT AND THE COST
OF GOVERNMENT
Some persons argue that drastic
cuts in the cost of government will
make the unemployment problem stin
more intense. They reason that the
dismissal of employes now drawing a
living from the public treasury, would
-till further contract purchasing powe
and rn js.? additional retrenchment.
The effect should be ju<t the opposite.

CHEATING OUR8KLVK8
The story is told of a dishonest
worker. He ami his family were roofless,
whereupon a certain good Samaritan
decided to surprise this poor
man with a comfortable home. So,
without telling his purpose, he hired
the builder at u fair wage to build
u hoi**** on a sunny hill, and then
went on business to a far-away country.
The builder was left at work
with no watchman but bis own honor.
' Ha," said he in his heart. "1 can
skimp the material and jwatpp the
| work." So he went on spinning out
the time, putting Jin poor service,
poor nails, poor timbors.
When the good Samaritan returned,
the builder said: "That's a One house
1 built on the hill." "Good," was the
reply. "(Jo move your folks into it
at once for the house is your*. Here
is the deed." The builder was thunderstruck.
'He realized thht, instead
of cheating his friend, he had been
industriously cheating himself when
he <lid not know it was his own house
he was building.
TH'at illustration reminds us vividly
of the predicament our voters and
' taxpayers find themselves in today.
They suffer under a burden that has
become almost unbearable. They
wail loud ami long about the burdens
of taxation, wasteful and foolish governmental
expenditure, graft and
cheap politics. Hut are they not criticizing
the house they built themselves.
Hack a short time ago when most
of us ha<{ more money than brains
and when we were drunk on the, power
of the almighty dollar, we openly
voted for and supported candidates of
a spendthrift character, knowing
when we did so that we were "slipping
in hhoddy materials" in the governmental
structure we were building.
We knew that government,
justly and economically administered,
| required our sober thought and honest
action, yet we dismissed the thought
with the snap of a finger and went
right along with our own selfish pursuit
of the dollar. We didn't have
time t?> vote intelligently. '
Now we are reaping the rewards.
Of course the house-we built leaks
and cracks- and threatens to collapse.
Hut we can't blame it on the other
follow. We built it ourselves.
Ivot us profit by our lesson and
build the next house as it should be.
Our democratic government isn't at
fault. The fault lies with the voters
who built it. We have been cheating
ourselves. ? Hatesville (Ark.)

THE NEXT LEGISLATURE'S JOB
The People Expect Its Members to
Solve, Not Dodge Its Problems
The Anderson Mail says the next
general assembly will have many important
problems to solve and the peo!
pie will expect their state law-makers
J to solve them.
} Many new faces will be seen in the
legislative line-up and those new
i members, coming directly from the
I people, will have direct responsibilities.
They have pledged themselves
almost to the njan for a program of
I genuine economy and they will be exI
ported to make good on that program.
The people may be getting more
, government than in other days but
they are pnying far too much for that
government. They could get along
very well on much less in the way of
government if that reduction carried
with it a corresponding reduction in
the expenses the state treasury is
called on to finance.
The last session of the legislature
was labelled the "economy" session
and many members there were who
worked diligently to that end. However.
they needed more who thought
f as they did and had the courage to
act. In the new members named
this year should be sufficient numlnr
do get real results and if those results
are r.ot forthcoming it may
j mean the death blow to the confidence

"BOOTLEGGING GAS '
Defrauding1 South Carolina'a motorist*
through the mixing of gasoline
with taxkfrve liquids, such as kerosene
and naphtha, which are sufficiently
combustible to permit their use
in diluting motor fuels, but which are
?rot completely satisfactory as such
fuels, is believed by some to be rampant
in the state. It has been reported
from many quarters that
blended fuels are being sold the public
under tho guise of regular, (or
even high test) gasoline and that the
motorists are buying In good faith
fuels that are actually harmful to
their motors and do not give the performance
expected of today's cars.
Actual ijiaiaijrcs of such practice have
been foirbd toou wide-spread in other
states, arty there seems to be good
reason So believe that it also exists
here.
This is a case of evasion of the
six-cent gasoline tax imposed by the
state for construction and inaiqtenonce
of the highways, and is also a
direct violation of the law.
Motorists of South Carolina are entitled
to receive the products for
which they pay their money, and
should get gasoline when they ask for
it. All too often, however, when a
motorist drives up to a filling station
and asks for "gas" ho actually receives
a mixture of part gasoline and
part kerosene. While such n mixture
will operate tho motor of a car,
the performance obtained in the way
of speedy gotaway and mileage, fall
far short of that expected by the car
manufacturer and the infonmed car
owner.
Not only is this unscrupulous dealer
guilty of fraud and misrepresentation,
but he is ulso foisting on the
unsuspecting motorist a product which
will not give satisfaction, and in all
probability will result in early and
unduly large repair bills.
Then, too, tho mixer may be puying
tho state?his tax of six cents a
gallon on the actual gasoline^ content
of the fuel he sells,"but he pays no
tax on the balance of the mixture.
However, he collects the full tax for
the entire amount of fuel sold from
the purchaser, and pockets the difference.
Thus he is not only cheating
the customer in the product sold
him, but is actually robbing him of
the amount paid in tax on the adulterant
as well as robbing the state of
tho tax due it. This tax is .paid in
good faith, though frequently grunrbtingly,
with the idea that it Is to be
used in improving and expanding the
road system. When it does not reach
the point intended," it may well be
said that the people of the state are
actually being robbed of their roads.
Happily, this type of gasoline dealer
is decidedly in the minority. The
bulk of the dealers are honest and
pay the tax in full, assuring the public
of continued maintenance and construction
of the highway system of
which this state may well be proud.
That minority, however, that does engage
in evading the tax, must be
stamped out, for the benefit of the
tax paying motorist and of the honest
dealer who is forced by his operations
to meet dirty competition.
PROSPERITY ALWAYS RETURNS
During the past few weeks there
has been a new spirit df optimism
along the economic front. It is not
an optimism of the "prosperity is just
around the corner" variety. It is instead,
well grounded in fact.
The seasonal influences have been
favorable. Commodity prices have
shown a steady upward tendency.
Stocks of goods of all kinds are rapidly
becoming depleted, necessitating
new buying. The outward flow of
gold has been checked and reversed.
And, finally, conditions abroad have
definitely improved.
Best of all. is the feeling of confidence
that is growing in the public
mmd. There can be no recovery
without that. And when, along w;th
it. the economic indicators point the
' right way, we can look forward w ith
j a. feeling of hopefulness.

Thanks Her Friends for Re-Election
I desire to express to the Democratic
men and women ot Kershaw
County, my sincere appreciation for
the kind and generous support given
to me in the recent primaries, ami
which caused my ren o mi nation-Jto the
office of Superintendent of hduca*
tion. This loyal support in the face
of such strong and able competition,
and in spite of the f*ct tha* no superintendent
of education fM*
while has been able to succeed Turnself
or herself in office, makes me
very happy and at the same time
very humble. Any words that
might use would be wholly inadequate
to express my sincere appreciation,
but I want y*>u to know that I am
deeply grateful and that it is my purpose
to give expression to that gratitude
by the most capable and earnest
service that is possible for me to render.
My opponent fought a good,
clean tight. I have nothing but the
kindest feelings for those who saw
fit to support him, and I want them
to know that 1 am their servant and
the. servant of all the people.
Gratefully yours,
Kathleen B. Watts
