Horse-Play In Columbia
^ (Senator John Williams, of Aiken,
objects to publishing the names of
those whose drivera.licenses have been
revoked. The senator says there are
eight or ten John Williamses in Aiken
county,' and IT one of them should
have hi9 license revoked, folks might
think it is the senator, and "what redress
would I have, under this bill in
a case like that?"
Well, that's something to think
about. Tho only hope we can see,
senator, Is to have the legislature
change your name. That might help.
A resolution was introduced in tho
house the other day endorsing J. h.
McLure for United States marshal. It
passed. The next day they got to
thinking about it, and decided there
might be some other good men' who
wanted the job, and withdrew the endorsement.
Oh, yes, the people are paying the
legislators for the time they take up
in this sort of horse-play. "Bamberg

THE WOKId) IN A IdOHT (iLOBEj
When you switch on an electric
lamp, you're using materials that |
came originally from almost every
country in the world. In that little j
globe that cost you 20 or 30 cents, I
there's antimony from Mexico, thoria
from Brazil, niter and silica from
Chile, cobalt and nickel from New
Caledonia, bismuth from Australia,
tin from the Malay Peninsula, manganese
from India, potash from Russia,
sodium carbonate from East j
Africa, arsenic from (Ireenland?and
so it goes down a long similar list
of items.
As has been .said, the electric lamp
is literally the light of the world.
PRIVATE ENTERPRISE SCORES
The Union Pacific Railroad started
something new in transportation with
its stream-line, three-car train. A1-.
ways a pioneer, this railroad has set
a pace that will revolutionize passenger
transportation in the United
States.
The fastest trains now take 70
hours from coast to coast. Ihis new
type train can probably cover the distance
in 3?x hours, or less, as roadbeds
are improved.
From the standpoint of comfort,
these new trains will surpass anything
ever before offered to the tia\eler.
From tho standpoint of safety,
they are following modern automotive
methods. Center of gravity will be
20 per cent lower than in old railroad
ears., putting the weight nearer the
ground where it ought to be. Ihisj
will give better balance, less sway
when taking the curves and cause the
cars to "hug the rails."
Just as the modern automobile combines
greater safety with greater
speed, so will tluvso trains bring a
new day in railroad transportation.
Thus does this railroad pioneer j
slay the ghost of antiquated methods.

Capital Observations
(Special Correspondence)
Washington, Feb. 6.--By executive
i order, the gold value of the dollar
was fixed at 59.06 cents. Among the
common run of citizens the effect
will be negligible, at least for some
time. A man will have the samo
amount of money in the bank and
change is his pocket, and his cash
will continue t<^ accomplish what it
ordinarily does. But the change
marks a history-making epoch in the
nation's financial history, and is a
revolutionary departure in the realm
of foreign exchange. The American
dollar is now worth only about sixty
cents in foreign countries, and. has
been near that figure in anticipation
of tiie coming event, ever since our
government went off the gold standard^
Vhile in the United States no
immediate great change is apparent,
it is confidently expected that there
will continue a rise in the price of
commodities and in the opportunities
for work, Some economists believe
that in time prices will double, or
nearly so, but that remains to be
seen, and is doubtful. If the reaction
should be too great, congress and the
president could take steps to reverse
or halt the tendency.
* * *
President,'"'Roosevelt has strongly
expressed disapproval of any national
^committeeman appearing before a
governmental agency in advocacy of
any measure. Several members of the
Democratic committee had opened offices
here for the practice of law or
for mere lobbying, and such have now
resigned from the committee. Republican
committeemen are not much
concerned, as any advocacy on their
part would not be calculated to be
very efficacious. Public criticism has
also been expressed over the fact that
Postmaster General Farley remains
as chairman of the national Democratic
committee, and he will likely
get out before long. His departure
would not be a matter of regjet among
Southern Congressmen. He is,
however, a shrewd and vigilant politician
and with great success engineered
into the White House 1* rankli'n
D. Roosevelt, who holds him in
high esteem, and of course feels unI
der obligation to him, hut in 1932
| anybody could have successfully conducted
a winning campaign for the
| Democratic national ticket.
* ?
In some responsible quarters it is
held possible that there may be in
(time war between Japan and the
j United States. The Japanese, are a
| proud, arrogant and resentful people,
and war would be probable if they
ever thought they could cope successfully
with our country. They are especially
resentful because along with
[the Chinese they are excluded from
[immigration, and it is believed that
! Japan casts longing eyes towards the
Philippines. Among the leading naj
val powers a treaty exists limiting
[the building of war vessels, and the
agreement expires after next year.
; The' ratio between the British kmI
pise and Japan is 0-5-3. and the Ja;
panose minister of the navy has stalled
that by 1936 the navy of that nation
will in some respects be superior
to that of the United States. The
facts of the case have brought to
congress a realization of the desirability
if not the actual necessity of
building up the American navy,
which is now considerably behind the
treaty limitations. A bill has passed
the house of representatives and is
before the senate looking toward that
end. A program is outlined for the
expenditure in time of nearly a half
billion dollars on naval vessels, and
$95,000,000 for the construction of
over eleven hundred airplanes. When
the contemplated consummation is
reached this country will have a navy
| inferior to none in the world.
