" GOVKRNOH JOHNSTON
The curtain cornea down on the
1034 South Carolina campaign, with
' the elevation of the 38-year-old Olin
D. Johnston to the governorship of
th# state. He i? one of the youngest
men ever to-be elected governor of
South Carolina. Four years ago he
made a vigorous campaign and was
barely defeated by the (present governor
Ibra C. Blackwood, many people
believing that he had actually received
a majority of the votes cast,
serious questions having been rjilaed
as to the vote at Charleston. However,
the state Democratic Executive
Committee gave the nomination to
Blackwood and thia tended to populism
Johnston in his campaign this
year. IBs attacks on the State Highway
Apartment and his promise of
a thr#5 dollat license plate likewise
made him thousands of votes over the
stato.We
do not know whether those in
charge of our iState Highway Department
ought to be kicked out or
not, but in justice to the members of
that board and the others in authority
there, as well as in the interest
of the taxpayers, a most thorough
and searching investigation should bo
made, and if it develops that the Department
is being operated economically,
honestly* and efficiently, the
people should know it. If on the
other hand there should be anything
that smacks of graft, inefficiency and
waste, the white light of publicity
should be thrown on that. There has
been so much talk that the people
over the state want to know, and
ought to know just what the situation
is. The members of the Commission
should welcome the investigation. If
they have been wrongly maligned
they should have vindication.
We are very doubtful if Mr. Johnston
can give the people three dollar
license plates. We don t know enough
about the financial condition of the
-late and the highway department to
say that the state could afford to
further reduce the automobile*licence
tax. Too. many people believe that
the person who owns and operates a
large car should bear a larger portion
of the burden, than the small man
ip and the small car. Whatever relief
that may he afforded must be done
1 v the general assembly in cooperation
with the governor. We h*>po
and believe that wo can look to them
confidently for appropriate action.
Mr. Johnston has the opportunity
to make the state one of its best governors.
The State Highway Department
is not the only branch of our
. state government that has come in
for criticism. All of our offices, bureaus
and commissions should be
housecleaned, and those found to be
unnecessary should be abolished.
Those, thftt are serving efficiently, economically,
honestly and faithfully
should be continued. Wherever possible
without impairment to the orderly
administration of our affairs,
expenses should be cut. The tax burden
should, if possible, be still further
reduced, and certainly not made heavier.
The government of a state has
grown to be a complex thing. It will
challenge the ability, the integrity,
the industry and the statesmanship
of Mr. Johnston however able he may
be. He is the people's choice and the ;
people of'South Carolina, those who j
voted for him and those who voted j
against him, should fall in behind ;
him ahd give him their unqualified
support in his efforts; and we believe
that ho will have < be good wishes and
cooperation of the people of* the state i
so long as he has an eye single to
troir welfare.
CRTS BE FRIENDS
The primary is over. It resulted i
in the defeat of good men and in the ';
election of good men. In the heat
of the campaign things were said and
done by partisans and perhaps by the
candidates themselves, that might
have been better left unsaid or undone,
but one of our saving graces is
that while our temperaments are to
some extent volatile, they easily rev.ime
placidity. Animosities engendered
will soon be forgotten (the sooner
the better) and as we all go about,
our daily*tanks and in our daily intercourse
with our neighbors we will find
that the -ante strong bonds of friendship
still hind us and that petty po
i. a 1 rivalries cannot lessen our good)
will oi;e for another.
The very Rev. N. A. Murphy, pas-j
tor of St,. Peters Catholic church in i
Columbia, died in Falls River, Mass.,
from a cerebral hemorrhage.
By yesterday morning there were
21 National Guard companies ir. act
.ve scr\ ice in this state and 17 of
them were in the Greenville .section of
the state.
Robert Mais, second member of the
tri-state gang to stand trial at Richmond,
Va., for a holdup murder there,
was convicted and has been sentenced
to die in the electric "chair November
1. Mais was one of the gang that held
up a Reserve bank truck and
killed the driver.
PROTECTION OF OUR FORESTS
NOT ENTIRELY HOMELESS
Many members of the Kikuyu Tribe
in the Kenyu Colony of the British
territory in Fast Africa were once
known as ''Forest Destroyers." Due
to skillful organising of these savages
by an English official, Mi. Bt.
Barbe Baker, who appreciates trees
and understands these natives, they
have become forest builders.
Mr. Baker brought them together
under an organisation called tho
"Watu wa Mlti," or "Men of the
Trees." During an initiation ceremony,
like the Boy Scoi^ta and the
Girl Guides, they make the following
promise: "I promise before N'Gui
(The High God) to do at least one
good deed each day?to plant at least
ten trees egch year?and to take care
of trees' everywhere." Each member
is provided with a beaded badge showing
a* green tree on a beaded hackground.
When the badge is tied on
tho left*'wrist, each is given the secret
sign and password. He is then
told that, the tre is to r?mind hlm
of his aim hnd the white that his
"heart must be safl, or clean."
Though we are regarded as over[
organized in this coi^try, some may
feel that there is some room for one
| mor? organization in which ruthless
destroyers of our trees, and cigarette
smokers who carelessly toss aside
their lighted stubs, may learn a lesson
in social similar to that taught
the savages of British East Africa.
The killing of six strikers at Honea
Path when the other faction was
deputized as officers and given guns
with which they shot at unarmed
men picketing the Chiquola mill, has
become nationally interesting news.
Secretary Perkins denounced caustically
the action of the sheriff in arming
one side against the other as sure
to cause rioting and deaths. The,
funeral of six of the victims on Saturday
was attended by 10,000 people,
and .speeches were made lauding the
dead as martyrs by really prominent
men, including the head of the Fedcrated
Churches of Christ in America,
Rev. James Myers, of New York,
representatives of the national labor
organization, state leaders from tlie
two Carolina*, six ministers and others.
"Here at Honea Path shall al-^
ways be a shrine for the future uplifting
of labor," was the keynote of
tlie speeches. The crowd was quiet
throughout the services.
Raymond Stevens of Dillon county
frightened when a tire blew out on
a truck on which he was riding,
jumped from a trailer and the back
of his head struck the pavement,
causing his death.
J. Moore Mars, who has been mayor
of Abbeville for 15 years, will resign
at the end of the year. Mr.
Mars was recently elected state senator
from that county and cannot
hold both jobs under the law.
Betty Joan Phillips, 13-months-old
child of Greenville, was drowned in
a lily pool at the home of her parents.
An enrollment of S50 is expected
at the Citadel this session. About
240 freshmen are expected.

The meeting of the weU at Columbia
to arrange a policy for action
in the next legislature was attended
by few members elect. It decided
to make a study of liquor control in
other states and counties and to meet
after the second primary, when it
hoped to have more solons present,
and would know who would be governor
and how much he woulij use
the veto power.

RELIEF ENCOURAGING
DEPENDENCE
. < T "
The public has known for some
time that the KooBevelt Administration,
through section 7A of the National
Recovery Act, has encouraged
strikes against industry. Only in the
past week has the revealing light of
publicity been thrown on the fact
that the government was also in a
measure financing these strikers. Revlation
came with the statement of
Harry L, Hopkins, Federal Relief Administrator,
that his relief agencies
would do their best to take care of
the striking textile workers. He further
stated that the Relief Administration
did not inquire in the causes
of a person's destitution, but slmplfr
made certain that he wks without any
means of support. make% no distinction
betweeh those voluntarily and
those involuntarily out of work.
It is about time that the taxpaying
portion of the public, who in the end"
must pay for all relief, be it municipal,
state or federal, understood the
full implication of the Administration's
attitude towards relief, as expressed
in the words of the Relief Ad- |
ministrator. According to Mr. Hopkins,
those who do not want to work,
for one reason or another, are equally
sure of being supported by the taxpayers'
as those who honestly attempt
to get jobs and who are unable due ,
to the scarcity of them. Through
some means or other the upright and
honorable citizens of this nation must
find the money to support all the lazy
and incompetent who are without
funds and who will not lift a hand,
beyond going to Mr. Hopkins' relief
agencies, to get any.
The appalling, effect of such an attitude,
if continued, on the' morale 6f
the nation is obvious. Strikers, making
any number of inordinate demands,
have no fear, for the Administration
will take care of them while
they are not working. Those lazy by
nature will see no use in attempting ,
to support"' themselves, when they
know that the Administration will
support them, those who are wOrking
and who are self-respecting and wish
to earn their sail will feel the futility,
of their efforts when they see their
neighbor getting along comfortably
on the Administration dole, and the
heads of industry, smarting under the
injustice of a system that use the
money they pay in taxes to finance
strikes against them, will give up the
ghost in disgust and cease all efforts
to create employment and stimulate
business. Eventually, the government
will be called on to support everybody.
As to the problem of where
the Administration will get the necessary
funds for this gigantic- undertaking,
we will not attempt to solv'e
it, but will leave it to the wizards in
Washington.
If this logical development of the
present system of doling out relief
funds is to be avoided, it becomes apparent
that sharp and drastic changes
in the policy of handling relief must
be made. The answer is not difficult.
None who are voluntarily out of work
should receive one cent, and strikers
should be included in this category.
The Administration should do everything
in its power to stimulate business
and not hamstring it. In so doing
it will the sooner endj the necessity
for relief. The powers that be
in Washington should immediately
drop the fanciful idea that half of the
people will be willing to support the
other half for ever and a day. They
i should concentrate on encouraging the
fine ideal of INDEPENDENCE, which
growth of this nation, and cease to
had so much to do. with b|rth and
growth of this nation, and cease the
miserable folly of trying to make
people believe that they will be taken
care of indefinitely regardless of what
efforts they themselves make in that
direction.?LeRoy Gazette News.
