There are many things, an we ore accustomed to admit from time to (lirt'tf, which puzzle us mightily, and The Yorkvill* Enquirer, long yviclely known as one of the very best of country newspapers of the United States, calls attention to one of the situations which we have tided vainly to comprehend. During the fiscal year ending last July l, The Enquirer finds, York county motorists uaed more than .V 200,0U0 gallons of gasoline and during July and August they used 506,$00 gallons. The Enquirer estimates that the people of its county are traveling something like &3,000,000 miles a year. It also estimates that they are spending in excess of #040,000 a year for gasoline, or about #13 pef capita, this expenditure amounting to more half the value of the county's cotton crop. * York, just over the line, from this , stato in South Carolina, and a favorite resort for Tarheel couples averse to marrying at home, is a good solid county and its people have never been wholly dependent on cotton. But cotton is probably their main cash cixtp and the figures The Enquirer gives leave u? wondering how they can spend half their income from cotton for gasoline apd still find the money they need for other things. We wish that The Enquirer would pursue its investigations further and enlighten us if it can.?Ashoville Citizen, BACK TO THE FARM! National interest has been aroused in a suggestion made a short time ago by Editor Walter P. McGuire of the Southside Virginia News, Peteraburg, Virginia; tlid suggestion being that farm boys keep on the farm. It's a simple suggestion, and a very sound one. llow much unemployment has been caused by the trek from farm tb city is problematical?but it would make an impressive total. These young men, for the most part, are untrained and inexperienced and unfitted for factory work. They rarely find jobs above the common labor level. They are the first to bo dismissed when times get hard?and the last to be taken back when recovery starts. They know farming?and the farm is where they belong, for their own good nnd for that of the nation. It is on the farm that they have their chance to prosper and live happy and useful lives. It's time the trend was reversed?with the farm-boys-turncdcity-boys going home- again.?Industrial News Review. State Senator W. 11. Nicholson, of Greenwood, has been lighting in the supreme court for several days in an effort to prevent his disbarment as an attorney,,because he was not able to replace some trust funds in his hands. He resigned from the bar of Greenwood county, as disbarment proceedings were imminent,"- a year and a half ago, and now asks the supreme court to allow him to withdraw his resignation and confirm his status as' a member of the bar. The lawyers of Greenwood are nearly all for him, but several persons whose money ho could not pay over, on an accounting, are resisting the efforts to rehabilitate him as an attorney.

It, Weathers, residing on route 1, whs showing a Chronicle man a letter received from his son, Private Kugene Weathers, who is now stationed at Shanghai, China. He is with the Marines in Chinese waters and writes interestingly of his experiences. Accompanying his letter were clippings and photos from The China Press, an American daily.paper published in> Shanghai. When his letter was written they weiV- having one of those terrible typhoons, commonly visited upon China..* He writes: "Don't know how long we uie going to hi' he\;e fojty we are hnvipg some bad weather here now and can't go to sea. A typhoon has just hit here an^l the Whang Poo river overflowed its banks. I went ashore Saturday and couldn't get back until Monday, The streets were knee deep in water and farther up .the river there were lots of houses and people destroyed; but this isn't anything new in China for they have those floods every year."

A large cabin cruiser motor boat capable of sailing the raging main, with accommodations for feeding and sleeping eight persona, was built this summer and completed recently on the upper stretch of the Pee Dee river at Cashua Ferry, in Marlboro county. The builder and owner is D. M. Rood, of Philadelphia, for a lifetime engaged in navy yards and at pattern making, who discovered excellent woods, while visiting his uncle at Drake, and stayed to build the boat. It was formally christened 'by his aunt in the presence of about 50 guests, before Mr. and Mrs. Reed started in it, the other day, for Georgetown, Gharleston and Florida ports. K. Johnson Brown, of I^atta, died on a trai^v as it nc-ared his home from Washington, where he had been attending a grand council of Masons meeting. Ho was grand junior wardon of the grand council of America. He w is -J.'{ years old and a druggist with hi< father. The physicians said la u'r indigestion caused his death.

His wife. Miss Addie Chandler, of the same county, died 15 years ago, and he leaves three sons and two daughters. The safe of the Buffalo Mills store at Union was blown open early Monday morning, and $1,000 taken from it by yeggs. The safe and office were wrecked by the explosion sot by Amateur:., and a cos i!z_. calculating machine was ruined. Residents of the "town heard the noise, hut no investigation was made until the office was opened in routine practice about 5:30 " o'clock yesterday morning. o Capital Observations Washington, Oct. 17.?In its issue of a couple of days ago there appeared In the Raleigh, N, O,, News and Observer, the following item: "In Washington they have doleful spells becauHe they fear prices aren't going up fast enough to help the farmers. In North Carolina the state purchasing department U crying aloud that If prices keep on going up there won't be enough tax payers' money to do the buying. Seems to be need for h bigger and better department of co-ordination," Regarding the present status of economic conditions, in addition to entertaining hope and expressing confidence, there is nece.^ity for exercising patience. * * Next month New York City will hold^an election for mayor, and the campaign is attracting general interest throughout the country far mofy than would be the case in any other place, and for sufficient reasons, Differing from other very large cities New York is overwhelmingly Democratic, and for that reason the oppsition press is always especially active. The local Democratic organization is dominated by Tammany Hall, which, like the controlling forces elsewhere, gives evidence of political irregularities and a lack of a high moral standing. Tammany shortcomings are gonerally emphasized and magnified with a view of discrediting the Democratic party, but the fact remains that the organization's boast of political regularity Is borne out at election times, and last year Roosevelt received in the city the largest yote ever cast there, In spite of his nomination having been opposed. Frequently during off .years efforts are made to wrest control from Tammany, and that is the case this year in pushing the candidacy of an independent Democraat, Joseph V. I McKee, who entered at a late day, after refusing the fusion nomination in the spring. 0 This has hurt his J chances, while he is able and politic-i ally clean, having served temporal ilyj as mayor for a few months last year. J The fusion nomination went to Flor- I ello H. LaGuardia, who has had a J varied political career, having in .he I past been elected to Congress as a Socialist and a Republican He was defeated in the landslide last .year. The third formidable contender is John P. O'Brien, the regular Demo-1 cratic nominee, who is now mayor. The race bids fair to be very close and no candidate ^seems to have any decided advantage. * # * The legislature of another Southern state, Texas, has refused ^to ratify the so-called child labor amendment to the Federal constitution, which would give Congress power to regulate or prohibit work on the part of young people under eighteen years of age. Thus another step is taken to prevent its ultimate adoption, * + ? The twentieth amendment to the constitution of the United States, which abolished lame duck sessions of Congress, establishlished two records in American history. It required the shortest time for ratification, that is within somewhat less than a year, and it is the only change in the constitution which has had the unanimous approval of the forty-eight states, v ? General Johnston, national recovery administrator, was recently asked when he intended to relinquish tys position. His reply was, "When my I job is finished." A late wisecrack about the Blue Eagle is the NRA means ""National Recovery Assured." Perhaps the administrator thinks that his job will not be finished until then. I Republicans of high standing are ready to jump on the administration promptly upon evidence of failure of the recovery efforts, or upon indications that it will not result in any material good, and some of them are already jumping in advance. Former Senator James E. Watson, of Indiana, who was defeated last year, has m ide a speech condemning the recovt ry program, hut his views have 1 </n endorsed to only a very limited ( xter.t by hi- partisans. It i> especially i to i>e noted that former President) Hoover has declined or failed to g /e any encouragement to the critics of the administration's program. * * , Several stales have abolished capI ital * punishment, but the age-old remains as to its efficacy. However, there can be no question that it is effective in the individual instances where applied. A prominent legislator, upon being asked if he believed that capital punishment would deter crime, replied that he did not know, as he had never tried it.

C., Oct. 20, 1933 # County Agent Has Been a Busy Man According to information from the office of County Agent Henry D. Green, Kershaw county has received 1719 cotton checks, the whole amounting to $110^46.89. Thin is not the full number due the county but the balance is expected within the nextj few days. Notices are sent out ^pj the producers as soon as their checks arrive and they are requested to call at the agents office and receive their check Immediately after they get their notice. Not only has Mr. Green handled these cotton checks, but he has had to handle in connection with Supervisor W. C. Parham the seed loan fund, all of which made the huge sum of $910,000 passing through Jus office, Jn ^conversation with Supervisor Parham this week he told us that the work handled by Mr. Green had been done without a penny being out of balance, and no lost checks. He has carried on this work in connection with the other di^i,df the farm agents office. He has also put Kershaw county in the lead in the j growing of crotalaria, Austrian peas, ] vetch and has assisted very mater- , ially in making Kershaw fcounty one ( of the leading forestry counties. Su- j pervisor Parham says that he ^kas j never had heartier cooperation from ( any agent than that given him by Mr. , Green. He also stated that he cpn- ] siders the present cbunty agent one \ of the best in the state and believes, he has done more for the farmers of | this county than the great majority of agents qf the state. I This newspaper is glad to hear j these good reports of his work. With pleasant association with him . for the past four years we know that they are true and he has labored hard to be of service to the farming interests of the county.
