TIIB 8TKIKK
We are happy to number many of
the workers in the two mills here,
among our 'best friend* and we sympathize
with them all greatly at this
time. We cannot help but feel that
thev are being made tools of for the
benefit of others. This is the first
time that general strike has oocurred
in the textile industry in South Carolina.
.looking over the figures we
hote that in .Massachusetts, where
there are hundred* of cotton mills,
operations continue at practically .full
t4*st, very few of the operatives
having struck. We are sure that conditions
among mill workers in SoUth
Carolina are just as good, if not better
than they aro iri Massachusetts.
That state used to be fertile ground
for the agitators. Our guess la that
it is not fertile ground any longer,
and that the workers in Massachusetts
have had a stomach full of
striking; and we predict that when
the operatives in South Carolina have
finished with this experience Mr.
Gorman and his cohorts will not ,W
welcome down this way. We know
that the men and women who are
striking here are doing so honestly,
but we are just as sure that the
strike will result in no good to them;
on the other hand, that it is going
to do them untold harm and that
they and their neighbors will 8^orWe
are told that there is only enough
money in the Union treasury to feod
the striking members two or three
days. If the strike continued our
friends at the mills will have to spend
any money they have saved ngainst
a rainy day and will then be compolled
to join the relief rolls. Conditions
may <vjt have been altogether
ideal, but everyone has Wen up
against it for tt>e past several years
and the average mill worker has gotten
along just as well, if not bettei
than his fellows in other" walks of
v life.
The strike coming jus', at (Vis time
i'? hound to seriously injure the farmer.
who v ill n"t he able to sell his
ret ton if i' cannot be manufactured,
and if it continues for any appreciable
length of time it will paralyze
bu.-ine.? throughout the South, and,
r - before stated, we do not believe
that the operatives are going to get
any' where bv striking. We haven't
anything to say against Labor Oig.ini/.ing,
hut we do not think that the
workers of South Carolina should be
called upon to jeopardize themselves
nnd their families and to injure their
friends and neighbors at the whim of
the big dogs in the organization who,
to tell the truth, know nothing about
them and care less. Mr. Gorman gets
his pay?big pay. The others under
him, who have fomented this strike,
get theirs and will continue to get it,
while the good pedple, whom they
are making cats' paws out of, will
suffer.
We want to say to our friends at
the Wateree and Hermitage Mills
that we hope they will give this matter
further and more serious consideration,
and question among themselves
if they are helping themselves,
if they are helping our President in
trying to brit>g prosperity back, if
they are fair to their families, their
employers and their neighbors. And
when the matter has had their sober,
-. nous thought, we hope and belies e
that the slr'tke will collapse.
We don't own a dollar'- *{<-? k in
any cotton null. Me are wnt;ng this
O.au-t v.i believe that there are
} [ (!:< >!.- of operatives here, who are
acting against their better judgment,
ami with the earnest hope that they
Urolled, and that upon reflection
we may again hear the whistles blow
and in parsing through the villages
see happy and contented faces instead
..f despair.
NOT IN TUB GOVERNOR'S
PROVINCE
The voters may well remember
that the governor cannot reduce the
cost of license plates. This must be
done, f done at all, by legislative enactment.
The last general assembly
rut the cost of plates in half. We
do ah* very seriously if another legislature
will further reduce the cost,
o matter who is governor. There
a-e certain obligations of fho State
of South Carolina in connection with
>,, hu.lding and maintenance of its
- .a.'.- that must be met." no matter
who is in authority and whether they
k. k Hen Sawyer out or not.
A SUGGESTION
Wo want to suggest to the Kershaw
County Democratic Executive Committee
and to the officers and members
of the Camden Club that this
precinct be divided. There is no reason
why there should not be two polling
precincts in (amden, and the
congestion at the boxes and the^iaftg
delay necessary in counting theNfctfcs
make the need for the change obvious.
"Page Roy Stone"
"Page E. Roy Stone, political
propnostigator," ww the cry on the
streets of Greenville Wednesday
morning,' the cry coming from hundreds
of Democratic voters who had
read the prediction o^ the results, in
detail, of the primary held the day
before,
Mr. Stone, endowed with a master
mind (?) made his prediction niter
having toured the state, county
by county, the week before the election,
"meeting and mingling with the
leading men in all the counties."
Mr. StOne, posing as the original
political prognostigator of South
Carolina, went into all the courttfes of
the state advising with leading men
in each county, being able, through
his convincing story, to get several
newspaper men ijn different sections
of the state to carry articles with
prominent headlines, boosting him
(Stone) as *% political-sure-shotprognostigator."
After having completed his campaign,
gathering information relative
to his scheme, Mr. Stone rides back
to Greenville in his high powered auto,
procures a printer and gets "sureshot-dope"
out and distributes his valuable
literature on Saturday before
the election on Tuesday. The joke
is not only on Mr. Stone, but all who
had anything to do with his scheme,
feel that part of the joke falls upon
their shoulderB.
This gentleman, E. Roy Stone, is
the same man who bolted the Democratic
party several years ago and
announced for office in the general
election against a man who had been
nominated in the summer primary.
But he did not stay in the race for
many days. At first he went to those
who he thought were his best friends
and asked for their support. All of
'Ihem saw the ridiculous sido of the
joke and laughed him out of the running
and Prognostigator Stone has
hud a rough road to travel in politics
from tha^day until now.' Mr.
Stone had not been "paged"
Wednesday afternoon. He will come
nut of his hull as soon as he has had
time to rest and dream another
story, hut he will not make any more
count y-to-county prognostigating
campaigns fur many years to come.
If he does venture out on another
wild-cat trip he will avoid those
| gentlemen who were "suckers" on his
i:i|? a few days ago.
For weeks to come voters here
will try to "page K. Roy Stone, the
official prognostigator."?Greenville

railroad bridge while constructing the
dam, and the South Carolina Highway
Department converted it into a
highway bridge by decking it with
concrete.

Farm Product Prices
Trend Toward Parity
Better than parity price* were received
by cooperating ^producer* on
their domestic allotment br other designated
portion of the production of
two major adjusted farm product* on
July i, 1934, and distinct gains toward
parity had been made in the
case of three other major products i
siftce the Agricultural Adjustment
Act went into effect.
The exchange value of farm price*
plus benefit payment* on cotton and
corn on that date were well above t|?e
exchange value of these product* during
the parity years 1910-14.
The farm price plus benefit payments
on wheat and cotton were
about two and one-third times the
price farmers were receiving for
these products just before the Act
went into effect, while the farm price
plus benefit payment* on corn was
nearly four and one-half the
farm price on March 15, 19:$, ^
Benefit payments added to the farm
price for hogs nearly doubled the
farm price of hogs on March 15, 1933.
On July 1 of this year farmers were
receiving approximately Z0 per cent
of parity on their allotted hog production.
.
Benefit payments constituted about
one-third of the price farmers were
receiving on their allotted production
of wheat, cotton, corn, and ho^s.
While the increase for the pibducts
on which adjustment programs are in
effect varied from 100 to about 450
per cent during the period covered
in the chart, the prices farmers paid
for the products they buy for use in
production and living increased an
average of only 22 per cent.
Farmers' Calendar
For September Jobs
Clemson College, Sept. 3.?'Busy
farmers are reminded that they cannot
afford to neglect the many important
jobs needing attention this
month, say extension specialists,
making these suggestions:
Use vetch and Austrian peas to
grow your next year's^ fertilizer.
Quality in ginned cotton will pay;
pick clean, store dry, gin carefully,
and top your market. There is phosphorus
and potash left over in your
cotton fields; plant oats and majve
use of it.
Keep strawberry beds free of weeds
and grass. Set some selected new
plants. Plant spinach seed in late
September for winter and spring use.
Sow turnips up to September 20,
Japanese foilage and Seventop for
greens, and White Egg for roots.
Keep full garden crops well cultivated
and fertilized. Study varities and
arrange for trees for the home orchard
for late fall setting. Sow seed
late in iSeptember for "frost-proof"
cabbage plants.
JU is not too late to Duild a trench
silo. Clean, oil, and store cultivating
machinery. Get hay mower and
rake in good condition. Special mower
attachments will help 'handle
heavy growth. Plan to build ratproof
grain storage buildings, tight
enough to fumigate for weevils.
Clean out grain bins before harvest
and be prepared to fumigate to kill
grain insects. - Plow under tobacco
stalks and other crop refuse to destroy
food and immature stages of
insects. Remove dead and dying orchard
trees and limbs and burn them
to control insects. Knock off all diseased
fruits after harvest to aid in
disease control. Prepare to treat
small grains for smut control. Requeen
bees.
End Of Ferguson Regime In Texas
The Fergusons have had a remarkable
run in Texas. Their control of
state politics for a score of years is
now brought to a close by the election
of James V. Allred, the 35-yearold
attorney general, who made Fergusonism
his issue.
But that the Fergusons have not
suffered an entire collapse in popular
favor is shown by the very substantial
vote given their candidate.
When Jim Ferguson was governor
of Texas scandals developed. Despite
his strength in the state the legislature
could not ignore the evidence
when he was impeached. He made
a desperate filght, however.
When he was forced from office,
and debarred by impeachment from
again becoming a candidate, it was
assumed that Jim had gone into the
political discards. Such assumption
proved to be quite erroneous, for
.Tim's wife, "Ma" Ferguson, became
Jim's candidate for governor in "a
vindication" campaign, and was elected.
It was a curious situation. Mrs.
Ferguson made her husband her
spokesman in most instances, and he,
the impeached governor, spent much
of his time in the executive offices,
dealing the political cards.
Again Texas seethed, but "M^"
was elected for a second term. Therefore
"Jim" Ferguson has "twice been
"vindicated" at the polls. Yet the
record on which the legislature acted
when he was tried has not been expunged.
We wonder what the majority
of Texan* really think of the
record.?The State.
