Central Hnmmerall, president of
Tha Citadel, told tha Columbia chamber
of commerce that South Carolina
should, can and must balance it* budget
and live within ite mean*, a* people
must do. lie eaid the Citadel i*
doing that and arid continue to do it.
Overheard:
"Who's going to buy a license plate
next January?"
"The damphooi*."
"Welti I'm not, after the way they
made a sucker of me thi* year, and:
got me.to pay full price for a license
plate."
Reflection: The only way to effectively
show their displeasure is to
vote against every aolon next time,
who voted for that auto license rebate
to slow payers this year. But
they will have forgotten it by that
time.?Yorkville Enquirer.
DOLLARS COMB HOME
Trace the oeurse of a dollar spent
for property improvement, repairs or
replacement.
Part of it goes to local merchants,
who provide the needed materials.
Another part goes to the workman on
the job.
The workman spends his part for
the necessities of life. The comer
Ifrocery, the drug store, the department
store get it?and through them
it goes to their employes, to the farmer
and the manufacturer. Then the
circle begins again?the money enters
new pockets, passes through other
industries, travels to other sections
of the country.
The part of the dollar going to the
store providing the supplies follows
much the same course. It pays thei
store's porkers. It pays bills. It>
goes to factories to purchase new
stock. From the factory it goes to
other workmen, to related industries
supplying raw materiaLs, to investors.
And, at last, the dollar come* back,
through one channel or another, to
the original spender.
In a short length of time that dollar
has a thousand uses. It has done
the work of a thousand, dollars.
That's the l>eauty of money which
is actually circulating'?it is used aa
indefinite number of times, and it
(does much good each time.
Now is the time to obtain needed
repairs at the lowest cost in decades
?and at the same time do your bit in
fighting depression.
Jobs are cheaper than charity?and
without the jobs, there won't be anything
for charity.
Whose Money Are You Spending?
Yours? You earned it? Think a
moment.
If you have $100 and you owe $100
on past due" accounts, you have . no
money. You are spending money that
belongs to your creditors.
There is the matter of honesty involved,
but consider, instead, the matter
of sportsmanship.
When you opened that account
which is still unpaid you said to the
merchant, "I want this merchandise
but I haven't the money available to
pay for it. Ij&t me have the goods
and I will pay you in thirty days."
So the merchant trusted you and
gave you the goods which cost him
actual money.
It'a not the "sporting" thing to do,
to let your friend, the merchant, hold
the bag for you indefinitely. He
needs the money to buy new merchandise
so he can sell it again.
That's the way he makes his living.
If you have his money and hold it,
you are keeping him from earning as
much money as he ought. Sometimes
merchants actually fail in business
because too many of their friends
don't think it necessary to pay their
bills.
I>o the sporting thing. Pay the
bills ynu owe Release the money
that i- t od up in your accounts.
If you haven't the money to pay,
go to the nit chants you owe and tell
them frankly You will find them
fair and wM,o.^ v..a :r. any
way to conveniently liquidate the
debt.
Any debt - a debt of honor. Particularly
so ./hen the transaction is
based solely on your word ?on your
promise, "1 will pay in thirty days."

Capital Observations
( Special Correspondence)
Washington. April* 4,?Very eooo
"the flower* tthat bloom m the
Spring" will put in their appearance
in full force, and the peak of the
tourist xeaaon will be at hand. A
much greater stream of thoee who
j?till have the price of railroad fare,
or who can buy a few gallons of gaa
to move the old machine, will be advancing
on Washington. It is an excellent
tune to visit. In fact any
time is opportune to come to this
beautiful, magnificent city. 'as*
A book just published, "Woodrbw;
Wilson: the Mam Who Lives On," -U
from the pen of John K. Winkler, a!
j Camden boy, later of New York,,
where he has attained prominence as
a writer and author. Its appearance,
is perhaps timely, at the beginning of j
the first Democratic administration j
since Wilson's day. The book is not j
so voluminous as to preclude attention
by the average reader, and will j
be found to be an interesting biography,
whether or not one agrees with s
all the views presented. The life of
our great war president is treated as
a tragedy, and in a sense it was.
However, the expression is made that
"At the end he went down fighting.
His was the real glory of the conquered."
Although losing his fight to
have the United States enter the
League of Nations, Woodrow Wilson
could not be considered as conquered.
In addition to rating him as one of
the most eminent men of all time,
aside from military leaders, history
will accord to him along with Clemenceau
and Lloyd George a place flmong
the victors, as primarily instrumental
in the winning of the terrific
struggle.
In the cabinet the secretary of the;
treasury is1 second only to the sec re-;
tary of state, and to fill the position
President Roosevelt chose William H.
Wood in, a Pennsylvania!!, who has ,
lately had his residence in Now \ork..
Ho has figured largely as a business
executive, having been president of
the American Oar &. Foundry Co., and
connected with sundry other organi-i
zations. Under the law a secretary,
of the treasury must relinquish all j
business before assuming his official ,
position. Politically until recently he-;
was affiliated with the Republican!
party, and left only when he experienced
a change of heart because of
the drift of his party away from fche
interests of the people?the common
people, as Bryan used to call them.
Woodin is inimical to plutocracy and
to the conduct of the government in
the interests of the wealthy, and bis
designation has given general satisfaction
to the elements that elected
Roosevelt. He bears the additional
distinction of being a musical composer
of merit, and wrote a march
that was played during the inaugural
parade.
During national campaigns the cry
isTaiHed in the north that, if the.
Democrats win the south will be in |
the saddle. It is largely true and
should be so. In the present organization
of the senate, of the chairmanships
of committees nineteen of thirty-three
are hold by southerners, and
in the house of representatives twenty-seven
of forty-four went south of
Mason and Dixon's line. Experience
has shown that seniority is the fairest
ami most peaceable method of
disposing of the places of honor and
authority. As a general rule the
south retains her senators and representatives
for long periods, and
rarely are there breaks in party regularity,
exceptions occurring only in
years such as 1D20 and 1928. In the
remainder of the country Democracy
can claim with certainty only a few
of the senatorships regularly, and the
same may be said regarding members
of the house. The elections go alternately
to one party and then to the
other, thus allowing only limited opportunity
for the establishment of
continuous service. For instance in
.1920 tho state of Indiana sent a solid
; Republican delegation to Congress,
whereas now the delegation in tHe^
i house is entirely Democratic. In both
1 "f t'ne year-, menf. -ned South tare-;
iir.a and nearly all of the Sout.hvwi
states M-nt solid I >em<*-rata* delega-!
The Federa. !>.-ei~~""bfy also legalized
wine of no greater -trength, but j
practically this will be of little effect,
as it :s held that palatable wine t annot
!% made that is no stronger than
an aeoh?dic content of 3.2 per cent,
i The action taken was probably largely
for effect, with a view of apparent
[ compliance with the demand of the j
Democratic national platform of last j
i year;
] Already during the four weeks of |
j his administration President RooseI
velt has accomplished, aside from ^
mere routine proceedings, more sub-;
[ stantial constructive legislation thru;
congress than did Hoover during his j
entire four years. Furthermore lie is i
fulfilling promises and meeting ex-j

ECONOMIC HIGHLIGHTS
During and eince th? bank holiday*
th? b**t new* of each week Ha* been
of a psychological character. It haaj
three phase*: faith in the new AdiA
in titration, demonstrated by the
support it i* giv?n by organisation*
and individual* of all political divisions;
confidence in the future of the
country; a belief that recovery la underway.
Moat important of these is
confidence. So far as the public
mind generally is concerned, the daya
of gloom are over. The spirit of inertia
that gripped so many millions
a few months ago, haa been replaced
j by ti spirit of aggressiveness and acI
tkm. c .
j This spirit is naturally" reflected in
the attitude of industrial organisms.
Of great interest is a survey recently
made by a press association among
the major industries of the country.
'It produced opinion as follows:
vfteel?Prospect for recovery brighter
than at any time in past few years, _
Metals?An unmistakable return of
confidence is felt.
Cement?Slow but certain change
for the better anticipated.
Machinery?'Stimulated sales looked
for.
Meat Products?Supplies on hand
not excessive, and price rise expected.
Flour?Moderate price advance, at
least, assured. ;
Textiles?GreAter buying activity ,
and firmer price levels anticipated.
Department Stores?Predict rise in <
prices.
Shoes and I^eather?Any change ]
will be up, not down.
These forecasts reflect the attitude j
of the leaders of most other indua- ,
tries. '
The department of Agriculture ,
forecasts a general reduction in acre- <
age of major crops t^his year. De- j
creases of 3.5 per cent in corn for <
harvest; 3 per cent in spring wheat j
and in oats; 13 per cent in flax-seed, j
rice and sweet potatoes; 5.4 per cent j
m potatoes are indicated. Contrary ,
to the general trend is tobacco, for ,
which a 22. per cent increase in acre- ,
age i* predicted. ]
Farm leaders made a dramatic move j
when, led by Secretary Wallace, they ,
called on President Roosevelt and j
asked him to request Congress for ]
dictatorial powers in the matter of ]
farm products. Under their proposed p
legislation, the President would have j
absolute power in fixing the price of
wheat, corn, cotton, hogs, cattle, dairy
products, etc. Purpose of the legis- i
lation would be to bring about paTity j
of farm prices between agricultural <
and industrial commodities. The pro- <
posal, if it becomes a law, would give 1
president Roosevelt even greater 1
powers than were given President
Wilson under the 'Food Administra-*
tion Act made necessary by the war. (
Farm mortgages remain a pressing ,
jagricultural problem. The Administration
will give every effort to find- (
ing means of equitably solving it. It
is not, however, a new problem. A
survey has shown, for example, that
45.2 per cent of all farms in New (
York are undgr mortgage?and this1
is precisely the same percentage that
was mortgaged in 1900. Best year
was 1925, when the percentage dropped
to 38.7.
Farm prices have remained fairly
steady, and there have been a number
of advances. It is doubtful if any
major recession will set in.
Aftermath of the banking difficulties
is a drive to bring all of the 12,I
000 state banks into the Federal Reserve
System. Some observers hold
that this is rvpt enough?in 1932, over
80 per cent of bank failures involved j
banks of less than $200,000 capital
and they believe this to be proof of
a need for extension of branch bank- 1
ing. Others point to the fact that ;
thousands of small banks are excellently
managed, and are as sound or
sounder than many big banks, and i
hold that banking legislation should
simply seek to eliminate poor man- .
agement and dubious practices,
whether the product of dishonesty or
ine xperience.

In tikis economic crisis ,tk# press
knowing that under our sjstem ?1
government the people had to be en
lightened, acted with the safety ?i
the nation in mind.
It didnt become hysterical, it didst
lose its balance. It told the truth, th?
dark side, and when it could, tin
bright side. It certainly kept dowi
wild rumors. In the, presentation ?1
news I believe it has been non-partisan,
and certainly it made it the business
of the moment to publish tl^ the
plans for recovery. It interpreted
these, advocating the constructive, rejecting
the false or chimerical.
The fact is that through all the
stress the papers have been showing
championship form. First, they have
been true to thair ethical ideals and
second, the industry, as such, has been
intelligently managed. Compared to
activities in other lines of business
there have been few failures, practically
no speculative loss, and no .scandals.
The flag has been held high,
and practically, remember, the same
mass of news and comment has been
carried through as in 1929. When the
first signs of an upturn appeared in
July* the papers, of course, became
the heralds of hope.
But great as has been t'he contribution
of the papers to the mere mechanics
of recovery, they are doing
even greater work. They are laying
the foundations for the new social otder,
the new order of human relations
that is dawning with the .acknowledged
necessary readjustments in tbe
American program. The discussion
is now going on in the public forum
:>f the press.
The day of so-called "rugged individualism"
is over. A new era is
lawning in which industry itself will
provide for the workers greater security
and leisure. -Stabilization for
ndustry and capital and stabilization
for laboT now being promoted by the
press constitutes the greatest movement
that has been launched in gen;rations.
A new leadership is on the
way that will not recognize merely
profits, pomp and circumstances but
ilso social responsibilities and the
rightful aspirations of humanity. All
in all, this crisis has accentuated the
nobility of our profession.?Thomas
