The remedy i* to proclaim martial
law m every county in which-there

MORE TO BE PITIED THAN

The misguided textile worker* in
thi* communis ufVmore to be pitied
than blamed.
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;

They have been forced from their

join the union and ally themselves
with the strikers. The demands of the
* strikers came at a most unfortunate
time. Investigation showed that the
mills could not stand any increases at
this time. It was an unpropitious
time for a strike.
We repeat that the poor deluded,
victims of the strike are more to be I

IHk HIDING WRITE*
As moat of iu reader* are aware,
this newspaper ha* for many year*
refrained from publishing latter*
pseudonyms The requirement i*
that names must be signed to such
messages not only for the personal
satisfaction of the editor* and for
what spove editor* are diFpdsad to
characterize as a matter of good
faith, but also for straightforward,
fearless and unashamed publication
with the contribution*.
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

It is belies ed that it represents a

marks a sign of the moral and intellectual
progress the newspapers of

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

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

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

St'RVBYIXC THB MBNAGBRIB
There vert bo shocks, mysteries
or grool surprise* over the outeoaas
of the second n*? ior governor and
lieutenant-governor. 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.?

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.
