A NKW YKAR-?A NKW DAY
. Th; year 11W3 tamo upon a downhearted
and a discouraged people.
The depression, which began four
yours before, had, instead of lighten
in r, grown steadily worse until the
wliolt nation was in despair; but in
March.- 1 a new administration was
inaugurated at Washington?an ad4
ministration pledged to use every
means to restore order out of chaos
and to reliove the despair that had
fallen upon us. Immediately upon
taking office President Roosevelt
went to work with a vim. Tho bank,ing
holiday, the washing out of worthless
bank assets and the re-establishment
of our banking system on a
sound basis; tWe Home Owners Loan
Corporation; tho loan agencies fqr
tthe rcljof of farmers about to lose
their farms; the C. C. C, Camps, putting
hundreds of thousands of our
young men to work; the employment
of millions of those who had long
been idle Hnder the R. F. C. and allied
organizations; tho inauguration of a
great building program by tho government;
movements looking to the
betterment of prices of cotton and
other farm products; and a multitude
of other enterprises have been
instituted by Mr. Roosevolt and those
under him looking to a restoration of
prosperity to tho people. The President
cannot personally attend to
everything. Many mistakes have
been made by those in charge and by
local administrations, but his schemes,
one and all, have clicked, and on
millions of faces which a year ago
was written blank despair we now
see hope atld gladness.
Rome was not built in a day. Complete
adjustment cannot be. made all
at once, It is going to take more
time to bring about a full return to
normal conditions; but with the confidence
and cooperation of the people
behind him, our President is going
to achieve what he started out to do,
and soon again the people all over
this land will be happy and contented.
Hut the people, one and all, muat
help. The fellow who has gotten it
into his head that, from now on he
is\ going to got a MveUivpod without
effort and ho a pensioner oiv our government
is going to bo hiistahen; but
those who honestly and sincerely want
lo work and live bettor aro going to
find an opportunity to . do so. Million*
are already "thanking God for
Roosevelt." Millions more will be
doing so by the time another winter
rolls around. Christmas 1933. was
the happiest Yuletido since 1928. The
next one will be happier still.
everything is not right yet. Still
more mislays will bo made and many
adjustments 'pot have to come, bub?
A new day ha* broken?the sun
has risen.
A GREAT GENIUS
GuUon liorgium, sculptor, artist
and politician, has "broken out" in
Texas. He will bo remembered as
tho genius who began the work on
the Confederate memorial on Stone
Mountain, loft K in a huff, and was
afterward recalled to Anish it. Between
his disappearance from Atlanta
and his return ho followed Horaco
Greely's advico and went Weat to
carve another giant memo^jal on the
face of the Black Hills in South Dakota,
and it was while on that job
that he expressed disapproval of the
inscription which had been laboriously
prepared tby President Coolidge. He
.didn't choose the Coolidge diction.
Now wo And Mr. Borglum in Texas
as chairman of the advisory comrnit*?0
of the CWA and what is he domg?
lie is persuading the Texas
school authorities that the walls of
every school house in the Lone Star
State should be decorated with fairy
tale pictures, and those of historic
events and he is about to get away
with it. He would "bike the men who
are digging ditches atuj raking leaves
and make them artists. Ve^mtilc,

The .ML Pisgah Baptist Church
There will be services at the Mt.
! Pisgah Baptist church next Lord's

the* B. Y. P. U.'s will meet at 6:15

! The past, year was literally satur-**
I ated with blessings so graciously
I lavished upon us by the bountiful
! hand of a loving Heavenly Father,
land for these innumerable blessings
1 1 am sure that we are profoundly
.grateful. The blessings of the past
year fortify us for the work of God's
kingdom this new year. We ure conj
tcmplating greater accomplishments
1 in the kingdom of God by the local
[ church this year. Our members
J manifest a spirit of consecration and
enthusiasm, and therefore the pastor
is prompted to make this expression
j of faith and confidence. Our chief
objective this year is "Soul Winning."
In Daniel 12:3 we And this scripture:
. "They that bo wise shall shine as the
; brightness of the Armament: and they
i that turn many to righteousness as
Kthe stars: for ever and ever." We
j want to be far more evangelistic this
year than ever.
Are we going to do business for
"King of Kings and Lord of
Lord's" this year in reference to the
"God's Acre Plan?" The members
say absolutely. This proposition was
discussed at the monthly deacon's
meeting Monday evening. The pastor
suggested that wo do our best to
raise two thousand dollars this year
from tho "(rod's Acre Plan" source,
but others said we much not stop
there. "Let's make it twonty-Ave
hundred dollars, they replied." It
was decided that we begin enlisting
the members on the God's Acre Plan
now, and those who were present at
the deacon's meeting subscribed sixj
Iceland a half acres. A great start,
j isnt it ?
The public is most cordially invited
j to worship with us.
Luther Knight, Pastor.

\ movement has been started in

Capital Observations
(Special Correspondence)
Washinkrt'"i. ?*??? addrei*
of President RoosoveH to congress
upon its convening last Wednesday
niet with enthusiastically favorable
reception both at homo and alJJj id.
Its conciliatory tone was gratifying
to foreign nations and the I^atinAmerican
countries to the south of
us were particularly pleased with the
enunciation of the policy opposed to
military intervention. In fcfho past
grave apprehension has been caused
by tho presence of United States
troops in Nicaragua, Haiti and Cuba.
Tho president resumed the practice of
addressing congress in person upon
its opening session.
*
The first matter gf major importance
is the passage of a new law raising
the Federal tux upon alcoholic
beverages, As passed by the house
df representatives, tho new rate upon
whiskey will be two dollars a gallon,
with a varying1 rate upon wines and
champagne according to strength,
with five dollars a barrel on beer of
any grade, which is the same as at
present on beer of a strength of not
more than 8.2 per centof alcohol,
t Efforts are exerted to have the new
law become effective at tihe earliest
moment possible, as since the repeal
of the eighteenth amendment on December
fifth the government has been
losing a tremendous sum daily because
under the law still in force
until superseded there can be collected
a tax of only $1.10 a gallon on
whiskey.
? ?
In order r to keep the financial
wheel? of the government greased it
will be recessary for congress to
puss the regular appropriation bills,
eleven in number, for the coming fiscal
year. Other legislation likely to
be enacted is as follows: A general
tax measure, revising and tightening
the income law; further appropriations
for emergency relief; authorisation
for the continuation of the reconstruction
finance corporation and
the civilian conservation corps; prolongation
and amendment of the acts
under which the NRA and the agriculture
adjustment were foundej^
and probably authorization for the
president to negotiate reciprocal trade
agreements without submitting each
to the senate for ratification. Matters
.likely to be debated, some of
(vhich may be favorably acted upon,
include ratification of the St. Lawrence
waterway treaty; revision of
the banking laws; authorization for.
the president to declare arms embargoes
in co-operation with other
nations; regulation of stock exchanges;
and regulation of the communications
systems.
* * * *
The president has firmly expressed
his intention to advocate additional
appropriations for a further necessary
period in order to continue the
relief and recovery program, with a
view, however, to a diminuation of
expenditures as circumstances may
warrant, when conditions get better.
The-figures now almost stagger human
understanding. Whereas formerly
we dealt with millions as the
limit, now it is billions, and in the
emergency the credit of the national
government remains unimpaired,
showing the fait/h of the people of
the nation, and a realization of the
necessity for drastic and unprecedented
measures to meet an unprecedented
situation. Millf^jp have
been put to work, and to relegate
these mililons back to unemployment
would probably precipitate a situation
which the nation could not
quietly endure. The people are upholding
the president and apparently
are not wavering in their faith and
confidence.
* *
The South Carolina Society, a congenial
organization of natives of the
state in this city, will hold its opening
reception and dance of the season
on the night of the fifteenth instant.
Congressman II. P. Fulmer is now
president of the club and General
It. L. Carmichacl is first vice-president.
? t ? * t
The South Carolina legislature will
doubtless be confronted with several
difficult problems, not the least of
which is the question of a sales tax,
unpopular and burdensome, but difficult
to get around in view of the
cry for more revenue, with sources
for taxation so limited. It is understood
that ? majority of the members
are opposed to state prohibition, but
are in a quandary whether or not
they are obliged to accept as a mandate
the vote of the state against
the repeal of the eighteenth amendment
for continued state prohibition,
while realizing that a liquor tax
would bring in much badly needed
revenue. There probaUy will be and
ought to be efforts to abolish or curtail
some of the numerous costly
hoards and commissions which have
Ix-en brought into existence in recent
\ea r?
* * * *
On an occasion in the past the
[writer of this column expressed tho
4
opinion that it would bo well in advancing
the iodine idea to furnish
some tangible specific data or infor*
matron concerning the basis of claims
for the benefits derived from iodine
products, so that outsiders, or insiders
either, might understand or
realize that the contentions were
not mere buncum, so to speak. In
connection with the subject the following
item, appegr|>fg a few days
ago in a Washington newspaper, is
deemed worth while to reproduce
here:
"Lewis Wood, of the Now York
Times staff in Washington, a joyal
South Carolinian, thinks his native
heath ought to abolish the legend of
"The Iodine State," which now adorns
its automobile license ^igs. Mr.
Wood says "Palmetto State,'1 .South
Carolina's historic nickname, would
be a much more esthetic slogan, despite
the commendable desire to
mftke propaganda for iodine."
" __ _ ' 11 j i i i i THE
M*AN AND THE ERA
Capt. Hamel, editor, owner and
published of the Kershaw Era, has
a right to boast. Under his management
and bosship the paper has
reeled off 42 years, and still chalk- j
ing up the weeks. We lay emphasis
on this record for several reasons:
pi
1. Kershaw is not a wealthy and
populous county. The town of Kershaw
is small and not a county seat.
2. With rare exception, weeklies
uiyler. similar conditions, have either
been swallowed up, or gone on the
rocks.
3. It's subscription is two dollars
a year, which is higher than most
weeklies in South Carolina.
4. There is little or nothing about
it flashy, radical or sensational.
In short, jt is one of our most conservative
weeklies.
As we have said on prior occasions,
The Era is Capt. Hamel. That means
you can rely on everything in it as
the unadulterated truth, genuine merit
unadorned with gew-gaws and
furbelow, and substantial wisdom
without acidity or sting.
Being fashioned out of far more
progressive and aggressive clay, it
would be natural and justifiable,
from our angle, to marvel candidly
over- the loilg life and success, under
the handicaps mentioned, did we not
believe, in fact know, that Capt.
Hamel per se, is the explanation.
Long may both live and thrive.?

Business failures in the United
