For COLDS, COUGHS Sore throat, muscular rheumatic aches&pains,apply Mu*> terole, the "counter-irritant* AT ALL P1H?GCI8T^~ v I ' ' "Technocracy" New Revolutionary Plan HocUa poena! Abracadabra! l'reato, change! Watch me close, good people! I have no mustache to deceive you! Pick the pea under the shell! Now you see it and now you don't! In terms very much like these the exploiters of ' technocracy" are trying | to explain to a gaping populace what this now scheme is. Almost ever night "technocracy" has become a leading topic of gossip? worldwide | fad. An air of mystery has purposely been thrown about it, for if it was brought right out in the open it would probably attract very few dupes. We have to go back to the annals of perpetual motion, the discoveries of Marco Polo, the tales of Baron Munchausen, the tulip craze in Holland, the South Sea bubble, the Keeley motor and cases of that sort to find a parallel for this sensation, _ The Pathfinder has had to deal with so many such things that it is frankly skeptical^ When a boy in the West several years ago was proclaimed as having invented an electric contraption which was to take power from nowhere apd "revolutionize" the world, The Pathfinder was skeptical. When an inventor * named GArabed several years ago got a bunch of Congressmen to believe that he had discovered a way to get energy out of the air and this was to "revolutionize" the world, The Pathfinder was again skeptical. Hence, until "technocracy" is brought out into the open, Tho Pathfinder will treat it as hocus-pocus. It doesn't cm at ter if a thousand professors have examined into the scheme and sagely declared that it is destined to "revolutionize" organized society. We are not going to close The Pathfinder plant and cease sending you | your paper each week just because a (bunch of "technicians" and "engineers" calling themselves "technocrats" have gone into a huddle somewhere and laid down the dictum that newspapers?among other things must "go." The Pathfinder is "going" now, and it expects to'keep on going. It doesn't intend to quit because those "technocrats" say that publishing newspapers and books is just a part of the wood pulp industry and hence there will in the future be no paper to print anything .on. First, the SUP* ply of wood is not going to give out. If it did we would make paper from a great variety of crops grown on the farms. It could only be a bunch of inexperienced youths who could base a scheme of chnnge on anything so false as this. Judging "technocracy" therefore from the one angle we know most about, we pronounce it unworthy of receiving the vast amount of boosting and publicity it is now enjoying. For some time there had been rumors in the air about this new "revolutionary" idea, scheme, doctrine, science, fake, fad, social system or what not. The promoters could never be got to talk in plain English about their pet theory. Finally they announced that on a certain day they would make an "official" statement. Now that this statement has appeared, the whole idea js still exactly as clear as mud. The "technocrats" seem to have been badly bit by the "efficiency" bug. They cite how labor-saving machines and time-saving methods have greatly increased production?and working from this narrow angle they picture a time in the future when everybody will have so much of everything that the existing system, which is based on "prices," will just have to fall of its own weight. They aro feeling bad over what people will do when that state of things comes to pass. Instead of ( trusting the people of the future to settle their own matters and dispose ! of their own interests for themselves, these "technocrats" claim tho privi- ( , lego of planning everything out age? , < in advance. And they say that nobody but '"technicians and engineers" has the 1 knowledge requisite to shape, such a ' program. This in itself is enough to condemn the plan, for if there is anj 1 thing the people are fed up on. it is ( this same domination by men of that , very type, claiming to be exports but . I found totally wanting when it comes j to serving humanity- ?? Tho Now York Herald-Tribune has published an exposure of the scheme, after a thorough investigation. Those articles charged that the man who is i the guiding genius of the cult is an old agitator of the I. W. W. organization, who was accused of sabotage on government work during the World j war. Critics therefore declare that the; whole scheme of "technocracy** Is nothing but a brand of communism, revamped so as to give it a more sci-' cntific and rational look- William H. Smyth, a Berkely, Cal., economist,! states that even the term "technoc-1 racy" does not belong to the group who are now trying to exploit it. He says that he coined the word some 14 years ago. Tho nirb of the doctrine, if it has any, seems to be that this machine age is producing more products than can he sold, that prices are bound to go down and down, without striking any bottom?and that within a short time now our whole existing system will come tumbling down. We are exi>ected to pick ourselves out of the ruins and then turn t-> the "technocrats" as our saviors. They are then to get together around tables. as they do in Russia, and an inner circle of them are to decide the fortunes of the great masses of tho people. It is impossible of course to say at this time Just-what is behind this forcing of "technocracy" into the spotlight. It may he it is just a part of a slick free-publicity enterprise similar to that which put "Trader Horn's" book over and brought "huge profits to the promoters. Dupes in due time will no doubt be offered a chance to buy stock, buy a book?or perhaps just pay a good entrance fee to go behind^the screen TrmHsee- whet the thing looks like. It may be advertised like Barnum's mermaid or the Cardiff giant or the Wild Man from Borneo. When more is known, The Pathfinder will tell jou. ?From The Pathfinder; - j' * - j jit r'rT i i erf-r^iiiiTii' W* Monthly Report Of Associated Charities i .. i -*-/ Report of the Associated Charities of Camden and Kershaw County for December, 1932, as rendered by Warren H.

He was born in Philadelphia 74 years ago, was graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in 1880, and later, studied theology and in Germany. He was on the faculty of Newberry college and the theological seminary there before becoming its president. He was a very scholarly man. Three members of the J. L. Taylor family at Laurens have maintained a perfect record for attendance at Sunday school for 24 years. One is a banker, one a lawyer and one a book store manager. People Swarm Back To Farms - Cincinnati, Dec. 29.?America i? poUring bnck to the farm, the American economic association was told today, as much as it. ever flocked to the cities in the prosperous days of 1920-80. The year 1082 may be the nrst year in which modern American cities have suffered a marked loss in population, reported P. K. Whelpton, of Miami university, Coral Gables, Fla., in its train, he said, the back-to-the-farm movement is threatening the farmer with too much labor, stripping him of his city markets and bringing rural slum conditions such as cities only now are beginning to effectively combat, Actual movement from the farm to the city, he sui<h exceeded 2,000,000 a year from 1921 to 1920, chiefly in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, I1Hjnois, Missouri, Virginia, South Carolina, Georgia and Kentucky. Now the farmer is paying at home, he said, and his city cousin is pouring out to live with him?at the rpto of 1,746,000 and more a year. 44A few years ago," he continued, "many dads and mothers on the old farm may have received quite a little from the. good wages their grown children were earning in the city. But in 1932 the situation has been reversed. Instead of much money being sent froi|a the city to the country, many sons and daughters who could *hot find work in the city flocked back to the farm, believing there would be enough to eat even though corn is selling for 10 cents a bushel and ready money is scarce as hon's teeth." On top of that he reported is the "to the land" movement of city dwellers looking fd* a place to live and raise what food they can. ? But it won't last, he went on. All indications are, he said, that city lights will be more popular than ever when jobs are easy to get once more. . ft* * A1 Capone's Car In Chester The A1 Capone car from Chicago, while en route to show at the Florida fairs, is on exhibit in Chester on the Douglas lot on Gadsden street for a few days, under the auspice's of the American Legion. .... The car is 21 1-2 feet in length, as in comparison to other cars it is compared as a battleship to a row boat. It does not appear to the public and on the road other than a large car. From examination it is found to be considerably more, containing 1,000 pounds of bullet and shatterproof glasp, a smoke screen, siren, pistols, bombs and loop holes for machine guns. It also has 17 secret compartments for hiding weapons. The car has a steel ceiling and a lead floor and weighs 9,700 pounds. It is a Cadillac and is capable of going 125 miles per hour and gets only 3 1-2 miles-to the gallon of gas. The car was built under the direction of A1 Capone himself, at a cost of $20,000 and was used for killing and gangster purposes only. The principal object, the management says, in showing this car is to show to the world just what the larger cities are up against in fighting racketeering.?Chester Reporter. During last year 260 persons were killed on \South Carolina highways, a decrease of ?even and a half per cent from the previous year, when 281 were killed. The decrease in this state was about half that in the South Atlantic states and the country at large. In this state there was in 1931 an increase in deaths per accident and in the number injured per accident. That spells fewer accidents and more violent ones. James N. Pearman, resigned as penitentiary superintendent, announces that he will be a candidate before the next legislature for commissioner of agriculture, commerce and industry, vice J. W. Shealy, who has resigned from the latter position, into which may be merged the position of warehouse commissioner. . CITATION The State of South Carolina County of Kershaw (By L. R.
