They have been deluded, misled, deceived and wilfully wronged by unprincipled and irresponsible leaders, who have incited them^ to take this step. The workers deserve sympathy as the victims of bad leadership. Hundreds and hundreds have been led to believe that they were doing the right thing in quitting their jobs and running rampant over the cotfntry in the wake of these hoodlums and ruffians who make up the "strikers." The Gaiette will wager and stake a large sum on the showdown that the large majority of the members' of these so-called "flying squadrons" j are rner. and boys who do not work; wne.r. they have a job; they do not ] want to work.

Thus old "Vox Pop." "Pro Bono Publico," "Citizen" *nd '-Taxpayer," *s well a* the three little tailor* of Threadneedle street have not appeared in the column* of this paper for so long a time, except in other reference*, as to make them scarcely more than a mattar of recollection of another day and time. There is what the editor believes good reason for this rule. It iq that the contributor who hides behind the pantaloons of the editor and the shield of a pseudonym takes the same rank with the pure and unadulterated anonymous writer, whose | shameless cowardice deprives him or her of all regard for decent consideration. That is to say, this paper bei lieves old "Vox Pop" is little better than the wielder of the poisoned pen, and in some attempted cases ranks with the blackmailer, the artful dodger, the blackjacker and the racketeer. Kxperience is a pretty good guide. Over the years The Telegram has [found that lev.er.? from friends and I -eaaers command attention and re\ spect when they are s.gned by their 'author-. that there is .eis trouble and : confusion. fewer suspicions of ulterior de-igr.-. clearer understanding of the i . unjecti Jrscus-ed,d*?- bitter parti>ar.-r.ip and a more ail around fee.; .:.g of co-ope-at:on ar.d honesty than under tne ar.cient ,-ystem of blind' bandage offerings, which it is hoped mav a- -urely become obsolete as they a pi car to be obsolescent. 1 The rule ha.- rut been followed al-j I together a- a means of individual } distinction, convenience or atlectior.. It is belies ed that it represents a better, more careful, more honest, more sincere and less frivolous spirit of modern newspaper publishing and marks a sign of the moral and intellectual progress the newspapers of today have achieved over those published ih former years.?Clarksburg (W.

TAXES CAST MORE THAN FOOD( Last year, according to the United States News, the American people paid $1,035,000,000 for medical services, ,.$2,160,00fc*00 for fuel and light. $3,000,000,000 each for clothing and for home rental, $7,650,000,000 for the most basic necessity of all, f00j?and $9,000,000,000 for taxes! The increase in taxation ? local, vate and national?is the most startling and menacing economic development since the world war. It was not so long ago that we used to pity overtaxed Kuropean countries, in the belief "That we were escaping their _?vrr?^ fee of all form? of government -oaring in fa-.e >'f iim;r,<?r.:r.g taxable asard f-arr..n.g-. we are very close to the Kuropean level. Recently Kr.g.ard, one of the heaviest taxed : Mur.tries. enjoyed a general tax re i'jction. made in the interest of industrial recovery. The United States, unhappily, ha- no sucr. prorpect. A great part of the tax money does nothing to encourage industry?some of it is actually used for projects ar.d experi mer.ts which discourage ar.d throttle private initiative, retarding employment, rather than inc-easing it. It is a bar. not a spur, to purchasing power. It stands in the way of investment, industrial expansion. farm ar.d home ownership. It is creating a vast, wasteful and inefficient bureaucracy which waxes fat while the public which supports it starves. Industrial recovery and employment are inextricably bound up with the tax p-ob!em. Ur.ti! governmer.t ret re r.c ne>. all our efforts to go foruar i will be largely futile.

We broke financing England, France and a fewother European countries to whip the best citizens of the lot?the Germans ?and now to repay us, they give us the hee-haw. But we presume things will continue like this as long as we par.der to politicians instead of statesmen.

Town and County Papers I tead them with great pleasure. | My fbgret is that I cannot spend more time reading them. I find ?nl most of them a portrayal of the simple life, of wholesome and worthy ideals, of the thoughts and deeds of wholesome people and things. In them are recorded the simple annals of the poor, their births and marriages and parties and deaths, of faith and work and play, of the long day and the end of the long way, and the heart* that break as their loved ones go to the far country. They tell us of the country churche* with their tender memories and rich fellowship, and the preacher and his flock. It is possible that I am wrong, but it seems to me as I read these paper*, that are so close to the peopie and | the soil, that most of these, as least, are courageous in speaking the truth and standing for what is right, and feeding the minds of the people with , the eternal simplicities. They talk entrancingly of vegetable gardens , and growing fruits and the best seed , to sow and what the neighbo-s are , -ay:rg. Their editorials are shot , through with the tang of the soil, j ar.-i the people are taught e".h:_- and , the relative value of things. I am ( convinced that these papers do more , good ir. this land of ours thar. the great metropolitan dailies. I -end ( my greetings to them and every good wish that I car. think of.?(R. (J.

The 2?P*#<i Jr all calculation* wm tH 4r?t contsat. After Blease and Johnston were left to fight it out, thousands of voters didn't care a rap about results. Even *trong Bleaae supporter*, aa a rule, admitted that the Johnston * lead waa too heavy to overcome. A ?urvey oi the votea easily explain* why Waa*# was overwhelmed. The Piedmont, a* usual, used iU heavy. artillery, while the middle and tywer country, generally. dropped away from Blease. Anderson. SparUnbutg. Pickens, Oconee, Laurens, Cherokee. Greenwood and Lancaeter swapped Blease. Coupled with their were Charleston, Colleton, Horry, Orangeburg and Kershaw with fierce balloting for a slaughter-pen. Another Blease ^ahdkap was the attitude of hi* old home eounty-w-Newberry?and his adopted, Richland county. In thev former, with fitOta than 7,000 votes polled, he got only a bare majority of about 600. In Richland, a measly 450 majority. On the other hand, the case was diametrically opposite, in the .lieutenantgovernor's rsce. The middle and low country backed Harley magnificently.To prove our contention of two weeks ago that the Piedmont wants all and gives little or nothing, scan the figures. There was Spartanburg gave Johnston 13,049 and still more to Bryson; the actual vote in Spartanburg was 14,967 for Bryson and 7,612 for Harley?just about half. In other words, Spartanburg was doing its utmost to cabbage the governor and lieutenant-governor not only from the Piedmont, but from adjoining counties. Greenville was not so sisterly and affectionate in the governor's f race, but doubled Harley for lieutenantgovernor. Anderson, Greenwood, Laurens and Pickens also moved heaven and earth to grab both govOur sincere hope is that Mr. Johnernor and lieutenant-governor, ston will pan out. He certainly can not fall below Mr. Blackwood. In the first race we supported neither Mr. Blease nor Mr. Johnston. The latter was after votes regardless. He hates the 30 million road bond issue. It is not a question now, of how it was .-addled upon the people. It must be paid. How? Not by that demagogic 3-dollar auto license tag tax. It may bring ballots, but not mor.ev to meet these bonds. Every square yard of land, every house, and every <^ore building are all in the clutch IP of those bonds and maj be .eft with the bag to hold. In all the Johnston promises, we recall not a single tear, nor the slightest concern about the plight of the farmer. We honor his rise in the world from humble beginnings, and will knowingly throw no unjust tack in his official path. Luckily he has little power to accomplish some foolish things that he promised on the stump. We await with interest to see, whether he will not make a much better governor than his platform and numerous promises would indicate.? Calhoun Times. Delivering Gin Tickets After arranging all details for distributing gin certificates at Bethune, Kershaw, Blaney and Camden at the iame time, it was ruled by higher authorities that this would not be permitted since it would be required :hat farmers receiving these gin ;ickets would have to sign their names to the large receipt sheet.-. 5n;y or.e copy of which is furnished me. A part of our otTice force had worked with me until very late Tuesday night printing the necessary !,iX)0 Power of Attorney forms which [ had intended using in lieu of the signatures on- the large sheets, but wnce this procedure will not be alowed, I expect to do the next best hing in the matter of accommodating :he farmers and we will expect to distribute gin tickets from Blaney, Thursday afternoon, September 27th 'rom 12 o'clock until midnight; Be,hune, Friday from 7 a. m. until 11 i. m.; Kers-haw, Friday from 1 p. m. intil 12 midnight; Camden, Saturday, September 29 from 6 a. m. until 12 midnight; Camden the balance of ime necessary to give out all of cerif:cates in the county. . I w;sh to assure our farmers ink h:? is absolutely the best arrang^Mfl nent I could work out for their con enienee and in keeping with Gov'rr.meni r^les, regulations, and retirements. Farme-s having contracts with 1933' ,nd 1934 bases will not receive gin erti/icates in this issue. Kershaw County farmers should | ongratulate themselves on having' heir County Committee and County; tgent handle their contracts in such j manner that the conversion factor pplied to their contract was 100 per ent (100.065 per cent to be exact), 'his means that instead of receiving nly about 70 per cent of what their ontracts called for as is the case in ertain counties adjoining Kershaw ounty our contract signers will re ceive 100 per cent in this first issue slone. While permanent gin certificates for Kershaw county have been delayed a few days longer than the counties adjoining us, it should not ?be overlooked that I have done everything in my power to protect the best interests of our farmers by providing temporary gin certificates known as Interim Certficates. There are at this time at least 6 counties east of Kershaw county which have not received their certificates and many counties in other parts of the State which have not received theirs. If our farmers will only be patient and have faith in their County Agent, they will be rewarded to an extent that they will appreciate more and more as the truth of the whole situation reveals itself to them. I wish to take this opportunity to express my sincere appreciation to the farmers of Kershaw county for the$f cooperation, understanding, patience and help and to assure them that continued cooperation on their part will work out for the good of our farm people in the long run.
