Ej Krida>, January 20, 1933 THK I KCIKCA ITKK The Cenerul Aaaembly, now in its ill; second week, seem* to mean business. ' The House organised with Mr <?il>son. of Dillon, as Speaker, and that J gentleman is showing some real leadership. A laige plaeai<1 hangs over his desk, keeping ever I*Cure the eyes of the members, his determination to iwind up the business in forty dayw. He has come out in no uncertain terms for the veryi strictest economy, for cutting to the bone all appropriations and abolishing useless offices and bureaus. Ho djdrt't mince matters the other day when he hit the lobbyists, especially former members, pgp who are in constant attendance, legKrjtlK the representatives for one purpose or another, and who gieutly it turd the business of the House. There is no doubt but that the temper of both the House and Senate is to materially lighten the tax burden, to balance the budget and to get South Carolina out of the red, reinstating it insofar as possible in the good graces of the New York bankers, from whom the Statu must borrow. We despot believe that the most ardent. iSliever in lower taxes will have cause for disappointment at the S siz.o of this year's -apply bill. What may be feared. howc\er. i< that in their cut hu-iasm valuable agencies may be -<< liiiain f^ly embarrassed that their work may bo seriously inik\ paired or that some of these agencies |hfr- " nm-t needed by the people, and especiallv bv t he burners, iuay.be abolLII ...i i-.heu ii,together. The farm and home dem..n>tration work appears to be slated tor the axe. If this i, aeeomplislied, one of the severest blows evei^M^Mt agriculture and the farming people of South Carolina will have been administered. A large portion of the money to maintain this work is furnished by the National Government. If we do not wateh it we lose our share of - -- that appropriation. Not more than ten ot* (iftoon cents out of each one hundred dollars of taxes paid by our people goes toward the maintenance of the offices of the farm demonstrat- j or and the home demonstrator and their salaries; that is, a taxpayer who pays one hundred dollars taxes only pays ten or fifteen cents for those purposes. Kershaw county and South Carolina cannot afford to forego the advantages afforded by this work .or the measly pittance the tax payers have t" pay for it. 1'his is about the ; only direct benefit the farmers get j -j *< ou? ,->f our government, but we gn-ata , Jv b ar trial unless the interested people of Kef-haw county and South ||| Carolina make their wishes known in no uncertain terms immed.ately, the work w.!l he lost. It is up to us to ;j get !>u-y and commuifeitc ,w ith our M-niitor amf representatives at once. . WHO SDK A K KB GIBSON IS f^... Native of Marlboro County from Two it, Prominent Families I here.

The direct preparation of I the dinner was* superintended by Mrs. I.I. A. Stern, of the Camden Hotel, [assisted by a group of young married, i women. The two long tables were j beautifully de<orated and at sevon| forty-llve, the big ball literally swarmed with jolly boys and girls. The objective of the dinner program was t*> interest and solicit the ! group of young people, ranging be1 twccn the high school ages and the age of mature church life. I he affair went over in line shape. Rev. ,1. 11. Canton, the pastor of the Baptist church, was a guest and made the principal address., Dr.. \\ imborly, tin* pastor, presided and also addressed the crowd on the specific objects of the gathering. The ultimate aim "of the banquet was to organize a large Sunday school class composed of both sexes, but under separate leadership for each group. Miss Elizabeth McCaskill was elected as I the president of the young women's] division and William Nettles the president of the young men. Each of these leaders selected with them three assistants to aid in keeping in I dose touch with the members of their jie-pevlive groups.

Capital Observations Washington, Jan. 17,?A bill has passed the House of Representatives for the relief of the agricultural interests. It embraces what has been termed1 the "allotment plan," and is' rather complicated in details outlined for its operation. It remains to be seen how it wHl fare in the Senate, as to its main features, and what its fate will be at the hands of President Hoover. Senator Smith has expressed himself in opposition to the bill as it stands. Roosevelt's campaign manager, known familiarly among his friends as "Jim" Farley, is believed to be slated as the next postmaster general. No announcement has yet been made, i but a custom has grown up making such designation to be expected. This | is because the manager 6f the camI paign becomes actively acquainted j with reliable party workers, and is best qualified to know to whom po! litical appointments should bo accorded, especially in the postal service. Farley is well qualified for such responsibility, being a shrewd New York organization politician, as well as an unqualified party adherent. As was expected President Hoover vetoed the bill granting indei>endenco to the Philippine Islands, but in the ! House of Representatives is was immediately passed over his veto by a vote of 271 to 94, far more than the necessary two-thirds majority. Only | one Democrat voted to sustain the po- j i sition of the president, while hisl [own party split almost evenly on the question. The time for the inauguration ofj the new president approaches and in spite of the depression indications are thai it yyill l>e one of the greatest ' celebrations of the kind ever held, in 1 point of numbers attending, anyhow, j In the national field the Democrats' have had little to celebrate or be j thankful for politically during the past twelve years, and it is now time for the faithful to rejoice and be glad. Daniel ('. Roper, a former South Carolinian, is chairman of an [important, sub - committee dealing [with arrangements. ! When or if the eighteenth amendment is repealed an interesting situation will arise as to how fntoxicating liquors shall be legally handled and sold in such States as may decide not to remain dry. A prominent feature will be whether the open saloon is to be banned. Perhaps the old South Carolina dispensary plan, in operation before the State wfcnt dry, may come up for consideration in some quarters. When is a -war.jiot a war? The answer would seem to'be-*wb on 'he belligerents are members of the League of Nations. Japan and China are now engaged in active hostilities again without a declaration, or it is more to the point to say that the Chinese are endeavoiing to r pel Japanese aggre-sion in efforts to extend the limits of Manchuria which was subjugated by Japan, and where a puppet government was set up^ Active fighting has been going on with heavy losses on each side. There is no justification for Japan's course unless the plea as to the necessity for expansion is accepted. Their little island empire is now overcrowded, and an outlet must be had, the rights of China to the contrary, notwithstanding. Ihiring his eight years as vicepresident and president, Calvin Coolidge became endeared with Washington, and took pride in its expansion and beaatification. The following from his pen is admirably expraasive of sentiments on the subject: "If our country wishes to compete with others, let it not be in the support of armaments but in the making of a beautiful capital city. "Let is express the soul of America. "Where'er an American is at the seat of his Government, however traveled and cultured he may be, he ought to find a city of stately ]>roI portion, symmetrically laid out and | adorned w.th the be?*t tha' there is : in. :ir\ h. t? tare, which would a:<uso T i.. - .n?iif,iiat.i.r. and .*t.r pal. .ut:c ' it.

Payrolls Loaded With Relatives Washington, Jan. 15.?Taking the fullest advantage of their last opportunity to pluck a few extra dollars from Uncle Sam's treasury, a large number of lame duck members of I Congress have loaded down their pay rolls with non-working relatives. Nepotism was an laue in a number j of congresional campaigns in the last i election and just what effect this will i have in breaking up pay roll racke[ teering in the next Congress will not ! be known until after the fourth of ! March. At the present the federal pay 1 rolls remain honey-combed with reli atives, a few of whom do no work, 1 . and there is a noticeable increase of nepotists in the lame duck ranks. Representative Thatcher, lame duck of Kentucky, has his wffo on his pay roll at a monthly salary of $131.94, and another relative draws a salary of $250. In other words, the entire clerk hire fund allowed to this representative remains in the family. Representative Brand, of Ohio, has a son, Vance, drawing $325 a month and another relative Is on the roll at $56.94. Brand is another lame duck who is letting nothing get away from him during his remaining weeks in congress. There are a number of other lame ducks who save all their 1 J'.. . -L clerk hire going into pockets of those in the family circle, including Representative Williams, of Texas, and Goodwin, of Minnesota. Representative Chafer, of Wisconsin, who has emerged as the selfappointed critic of democratic policies and defeiydsr of the Hoover administration:-^tAoe his defeat last November hat* his wife on his pay roll at a salary of $273.01 per month. , i : The nepotists are attempting to pull a fast one these days in hiding their practice from the press. Instead of a solon putting his own relative on the roll he uses the name of a rela- \ tive of his secretary but on the first day of each month a portion of the clerk hire's fund finds its way into the congressman's pocket just the same. .
