The unfortunate driver of the car was tfriefstricken, and it was not his fault. The little to', had darted out between parked cars into th$ mo%ing car, which was not traveling fast. The automobile' is here to stay and it is up to parents to begin a oampa.gn, teaching careful observance of the traffic rules to thna^'bridren. Santa Olaus. the pa*t Christmas, was lavish in his gift of bicycles to youngsters here and so numerous were they on the school grounds that racks had to be built for them. These irresponii* b'.e lads and la**ies are riding on trie streets unfnindful of the swift-moving motor vehicles. One of our most prominent tourist friends,' who has the welfare of children and all else at heart, told us of an instance lately where a lady driver came near killing two lads near the school building because of their not knowing on what side of the road to ride. He was following closely and barely escaped hitting the same two. Both drivers were almost completely unnerved. but the youngsters rode on, unmindful of their narrow escape. doinh a (iOOD work The ChronLle has been alive for quite some time t? the tine work that is be.ng done by the ministers of Camder. and community, and we have -from time to time, as our readers know, solicited the Christian people here to give them their earnest sup: port.

In speakTog before th*?Sumter County Dairymen's Association yesterday Wymtham Mannmg. whose i sole business is farming, ar.d who i# j a member ?.?? the Sumter delegation ;r\ ,the House of Representative* and candidate for jovvnor in this sutnI mer'.s primary, discussed the advan-< Itage* of co-operation with the administration's efforts to assist the farmer. "We should never forget." said Mr. Manning, "that self help is the best help; but it is equally certain that, so long as the Federal tariff laws give an unfair advantage to the manufacturer, it is necessary that that same federal government give a compensating advantage to agriculture. It is my view that the best solution of this problem lies in the law proposed by the president by which the president will be given the power to negotiate tar.itf and trade agreements with foreign countries. In discussing the Bankhead bill Mr. Manning pointed out the danger of a small and politically weak state .going into a field of national regulation of its agriculture. He pointed out that the agricultural problem of the southeast is different from that of the southwest, and somewhat an-1 tagoniAic. "In 1810." he said., Mr. Calhoun and Mr. Lowndes of South Carolina joined hands with Mr. Clay of Kentucky to impose the first tariff bill on this country. Their theory was that this bill w^yld encourage the upbuildingfvo? industry and thus would build up a market for our agricultural products. The tariff was imposed over the excited opposition of the northeast. In a few years Mr. Calhoun found that he was mistaker.; that the recent invention of , the cotton gin had made cotton dependent cm a foreign market, and that the taritf was injuring that mar, k.d1 But. in the meantime. the jr. rthea-t had beet'me concerted to I the taritf. and insisted on retaining it. and Mr. ( alhoun was po\yer 1 ess to j tindp what he had done.

Congressman Explains Bill Washington, D. C., June 7.?Trie bill introduced by Congressman J. P. Richards, of the Fifth Congressional District of South Carolina, at this session of congress extending the benefits of the Emergency Farm Mortgage Act was today passed by the House. The purpose of this legislation is to extend to farmers who have lost their farms by foreclosure, prior to July 1. 1931, the same privilege as ..is now extended under the law to ihofce who lost their farms by foreclosure since that date. Passage of this Mil will open up the possibility of securing Commissioner '.nans to many farmers throughout the country who have lost their farms and who could r.ot secure this aid under the Emergency Farm Mortgage Act of 1933. A similar bill was introduced by Senator Smith in the senate and passed that body yesterday. The Smith-Richards bill will r?* - ,rr.e law up r. the signature of the President.
