dotted WHAT YOU OWE HIM
rn# -mo ?' ST~ ' , !
The tiro demon has four times in
- recent years laid its relentless hand
"" on one of our good citizens. In no
case has ho been ft beneficiary. Each
time Buffering a heavy loss. The last
one, just at the beginning of a new
year it took his house, his furniture
and all his belongings?even to his,
his wife's, and his children's wearing
apparel. This man is a druggist; and
during fat years and lean years he
has tendered credit to tho old and
>*?, , J the infiriu, and to thoso who were
ablelo'pay and wouldn't. We gather
?not from him?but those closo to
him that he has en his Imehs accounts
ranging upward of $20,000
things that cost him cash money-which
he has put out throughout this
vltown and County to alleviate suffering
humanity. Ho has been doalt% a
hard blow t,o begin the new year
with.' Yet, hV goes on, uncomplaining?meeting
overyono with a smile,
as . though nothing had happene^.
This man is in need of what you owe
him and if you want to do the manly
thing toward a good citizen who is
carrying on under great handicaps,
go to him an<l pay him what you owe
him?if not all, at least a substantial
part because he needs it.
Better luck to you in 1933, Luther
Sowell!
KEEP THE COUNTY AGENTS
In another column of 1 he Chronicle
we are carrying an article on the
government of Chester countj. We
are publishing this largely for the
benefit of our new hoard of directors
and the legislative delegation.
There is no doubt but that there
lias been money foolishly spent in
roud.s, schools and other governmental
departments, both state and county,
hut those in authority have not
been nearly as much to blame as the
people themselves. The people clamored
for these improvements and in
many instances voted the increased
taxes on themselves. Now they want
to blame somebody. This is, of
course, only human nature. What
we most fear is that the [politicians,
and especially the members of the
legislature. in responding to the
cries of economy, will really do damage.
The people will be just as quick
to resent this as they are to cry for
economy. For instance, there is talk
of doing away with the farm and
home demonstration work. Tho farm
and home demonstration agents in
Kershaw county have boon untiring in
their efforts to improve tfitC conditions
on the farm. They have earned
their small wages hundreds of times
over. Conditions on the farms generally
would he infinitely worse had
it not been for what they are worth.
We. say in all candor to the delegations
from this county that if this
' work is discontinued the thinking
people will be quick to voice their disapproval.
The Marlboro relief committee have |
075 men at work, cleaning up ceme-; ,
teries, ' working streets, cleaning up .
school house grounds and at road (
work, in all tho towns and townships |
of the county. Wages started at 75 (
cents a day ami were reduced to 50 j j
cents a day. Nine-tenths of the labor | ,
is colored. Tho money came from ]
the allotment to iSouth Carolina as a
loan from the R. F. C. and the $1,500,
received in December will be aug- j
men ted by $12,500 in January.

THK KINO 18 1>KAI>
LONG UVK THK KINO
The year 1932, liice all year^that
have come before, good, bad and indifferent,
in now In the discard, with
it* joys and sorrow* and it* disappointments,
which to a lot of us have
been many! Hut looking back over
the three hundred and sixty-aix days,
and taking all things into consideration,
maybe it wasn't such a bad year
after all. Whether we like to admit
it or not, we had been given a long
thrilling joy ride for a decade and
u half. We have lived like king*.
The veriest luxuries had become necessities
and wo had become so busy
j enjoying our new found wealth and
the so-called higher scale of living,
that wo had really forgotten the essentials
of life. No one can lift the
veil that clouds the future and none
of us are able to predict what 1933
has in store for us. We do know that
the depression is not ended. It is up
to us?ami to each of us?-to understand
that there is now a new order
of things; that luxurious living, for
most of us is a thing of the past and
we must1"'turn to other things for
compensation. Wo will have a chance
to take stock of ourselves, to commune
more with nature and with our
fdllowmnn and, what is much more
important than all the rest, to again
get closer to our God. We do not
deny that there has been some suffering,
but we believe firmly that if
every man had accepted the new conditions
as they are and had done his
best to meet the situation, the Associated
Charities would have had less
to do and there would bav? been
less panhandling upon the streets.
The time has come now to quit bellyaching
a$d go to building. No more
can the artisan live in luxury by
working three days a week. It takes
now six days work to get the ordinary
necessaries and comforts of life,
but we do not believe that there is
an able-bodied man in Kershaw
county who could not, even under
these conditions, find something to do
whereby he n?ight feed . and clothe
himself and those dependent upon
him. We know that there will be
those who will say that we do not
know what we are talking about. We
think that we do. We have seen on
the streets' able-bodied intelligent
men sitting around the street corners
and in the drug stores bemoaning
conditions, while their fellows, no
more fortunately endowed than they,
have been making, a good living.
There used to be a saying among farmers,
"There is more in the man than
there is in the land." Changing the
verbage a little, this homely adage
is apropos to the present situation.
"There is more in the man than there
is in the conditions." and every man
can better his condition if he will quit
futily quarreling about the situation,
discussing national and international
affairs, about which he knows
nothing, and buckle down and try to
improve his own lot. This is a lesson
we have all got. to learn before
times get better, in our judgment,
and we might just as well face the I
facts.
THE GOOD FELLOWS CLUB
The Goodfellows club was successful
in getting out more Christmas
baskets this year than at any time
since the club was started several
years ago. This year the club got
aut one hundred and forty eight baskets,
most of which went to the "most
deserving cases" in Camden and the
immediate vicinity. The baskets this
year were most of them accompanied
by a twenty-four-pound bag of flour.
The baskets contained this year:
Moat, grits, lard, sugar, coffee, raisins,
candy, apples and oranges.
The success of this year's Christmas
baskets was due to the untiring
efforts of Mrs. W. L. Wright. Mrs.
Eugene Clarke. Mrs. Samuel Russell,
Mrs. "\\ . J. Mayfield and many other
ladies and they deserve many thanks
for their hard work and persistence
in securing enough money to buy this
food and pack and distribute it to
ho poor and unemployed of Camden.

Washington Items
and Observations
(Special Correspondence)
Washington. Jan. 3,?In a way this
city i? largely a collection of hotels,
boarding and rooming houses. (There
are about sixty hotels of varying degrees
of sue, equipment, style and
costliness. A very considerable proportion
of the residences are open for
the accommodation of boarders, roomers
and transients.
It has long been a favorite campaign
mfithoti of Republican forces in
presidential election years to endeavor
to discredit the national Democratic
party by reference to alleged
subserviency to." "Tammany," and to
exploiting the charge of "Tammany
rottenness." There may be and
doubtless is a degree of irregular and
lawless proceedings in political management
in all large cities, and it
is a well known fact that the Republican
city of Philadelphia is one of
the worst. The press there is almost
exclusively Republican, so but little
is heard of it. In the last election
that party, Contrary to the usual custom,
did not carry Pennsylvania by a
large majority, and it is now charged
that a recount would show that actually
a greater number of Democratic
votes was cast. HQwevcr, to try
to take away one of the pitiful number
of six states that Hoover carried
would be like the proverbial complaint
of trying to tak$ candy from a baby.
?With the expiration of the present
Congress ,,there will comedo an end
the chairmanship of two committees
now held by iSouth Carolinians, that
is Representatives Stevenson and
Hare, who will not be members of
the next House.
The best Democratic minds are
now engaged in earnest efforts to devise
some plan for^the relief of the
agricultural interests to counterbalance
or equal the benefits which the
tariff bestows upon the manufacturing
interests, located principally in
the New England and Eastern States.
It is universally believed that the
farmer needs something more than
the opportunity to borrow money in
order for him to bo placed upon an
equality with others who receive
"protection" under the guise of government
sanction. The "domestic allotment
plan" and variations thereof
are being thoroughly threshed gut.
Concurrent with the increasing opposition
to prohibition there has been
agitation for the legalization of light
wines as well as beer. A beer bill
is now before congress hut prior to
the expected repeal of the eighteenth
amendment it appears that there will
be no effort made to legalize the commercial
manufacture and sale of
wines, "light" or otherwise. The explanation
is that it would be much
more difficult to demonstrate the justification
thereof under the prohibition
law than it would be in the ca-e
of beer. This is a great disappointment
to the grape growers of California,
New York and other states.
It is announced apparently with au|
thority that President-elect Roosevelt
is opposed to the enactment of a national
sales tax law, and consequently
it is unlikely that any effort will
be made in that direction. This is in
accordance with views expressed by
him in written articles in the past
that it is desirable that the fields of
national and state taxation be kept
separate as far as practicable. .Some
states have already enacted sales tax
laws.
It is becoming more like a certainty
than a probability that there will
be an extra session of congress during
the spring, because of the difficulty
of securing the passage of laws,
satisfactory to the incoming administration
through the senate and the
house as now constituted and of the
probability of a veto by President
Hoover in the event of anything more
than routine measures getting b/.
The regular appropriation bills will
all likely^ become laws, but there is
no certAirtty of anything else. Concerning
the lack of reliable assistance
on the part of trea-ury officials Democratic
floor leader Rair.ey has had
this to say:
