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.

Methodist Young People's Banquet
One of tho most delightful social
and religious events of the season
j wax the banquet hold at the Masonic
j Hall last Friday evening., 'Notwithstanding
the visitation of a-.-nearj
blizzard, about seventy young men
and women enjoyed a splendid three
course dinner, prepare*! and served by
the ladies of the church under the
direction <?f the Woman's Missionary
Society. 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.

workers. wet e appointed as a com-,

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

I was naked the other day ^bout
this unemployment money that is being

of course, but I said: "Take it."
If "Uncle Sam" is dead bent on beipg
a fool, who not get some graft along
with the rest. It may not be exactly
biblical, but in these piping times, it
is useless to climb to the pinnacle
and shout "virtue" when everybody is j
rucking off with the loot. It used
to bo said that fully 3 out of 4 bipeds !
in breeches und frocks need guardians, j
We can now safely and truthfully go i
a step .further by saying that fully.
3 out of every 4 guardians also need
gunrdians. The percentage is still

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.
