Otiober 5, 1934 the strike is over The entire community i* glad that we attain hear the whistle* and the hum of machinery at the Kendall and Hermitage Milia. here. The opei alive* have gone Wick to work; we have not been advised just what the terms of the settlement were, but it is our understanding that all differences will be ironed out by a commission or board, chosen under a plan agreed upon. We sincerely trust that the settlement may be definite and final and that.it will be a long while, if ever, before the wheels are permitted to stop again. r The strike coming as it did just as cotton, which is just about ?ur onty money crop, was going on the market, had a most disheartening effect on the people of the South, und there has been great rejoicing that it has been ended so soon. The folks at the mills here are to he complimented for the fine, spirit evidenced by them throughout. They conducted themselves in a most orderly manner and the friendliest feelings between those in authority and the workors prevailed. This was just what was to be expected from the hifrh type of citizenship inhabiting our two mill villages. We are sure that there has been no rift in the friendly regard between the owners and the operatives and we know that those two fine institutions and these fine people will continue to have their important places in the life of this community. VOTING FOR COl'NTY DIRECTORS While talking with one of Kershaw county's best known and most,useful public men a few days ago, he suggested that the voters all over the county .should pass upon those Who >eek to serve the county as county directors, and upon seiious reflection we believe this would be a wj.-e thing tn do. Town-hip lines h:?ve been nine. oblitera'ed, The county direct?>; - manage and control the bu.-:nc-> < : . w hole county. We believe that uide: tea' '..'icy might be p.a.'vu - o;.;ly am! in order that each -i c-j might have proper i epi c-mii la-. ; one of the direct'.f- ,-houl ! oi *. f! ,..m each of the towr. - p.-; : nt w > be.ieve the voters all over t!i# \ -i.ou. i vo.i on ti.em and tne i i.didate> from each township Venning a majority of the votes over the county >huuld Ik- declared elected. Of course, this might cause some second races, but we have to have second primaries anyway. We see no g<K>d reason why the people all over the county should not have a voice in choosing the men who shall manage their affairs. The directors are not township directors but county directors, and they should be vitally interested in every section of the county; whereas, as the custom now is, a director is voted upon only in his own township and he is answerable only to the people of his own township. If the people all over the county should have a voice in his selection the director from Buffalo Township would then be interested in Wateree Township and vice versa. Too, while we are satisfied that we have a mighty good set of directors now, we believe that in the long?a'un the county a- a whole would profit if the met "no i -ugge.-te<l by our friend should he followed. We do not know whethi i .1 w..u!?i t.ikc action by the County Delegation to accomplish this end or ..t We rather believe, offhand, 'hat he ?\>ur.tv 1 ?eir.m rati .* Executive < . ninn 'ee ro.iM take < are of the sit.at . but of Ihi- we are not sure. We thought the suggestion to be, of n.er.t ami worthy of publicity. We m-;>e that the powers that be will give it consideration. REFRESH INC, The Aiken Standard in its last is-ue features this hit of refreshing business news or. its front page: "Business must be brighter throughout thi.- section. At least, things are looking up for one operator of a >ma!l country store. "This .store owner paid a call this week to Verenes Brothers, local wholesale grocers, and calmly announced to an astounded office force : hat he had come to pay an account of approximately $">0 that he had owed the firm for the past seven years. The account had been considered bv the firm to be uncollectable, and had h>*n "led inked." but the matter was Iu. k 1 y -traightened out and the bill marked "paid." The honesty and good intention- of t lie storekeeper made a profound impression at Yerer.es Brother*. and created an atmosphere of optimism about the office. The storekeeper ?nid that his business had improved considerably, and that he was glad to settle his just debts." A manual of the traffic laws of .South Carolina, of 61 pages, goes to every motorist in this state with hia license plate, this month* RELIEF'* ACTS LIKE NARCOTIC The only improvement I #ee is the result of the Spending of charity money. Instead of charity money 1 should sny tax money. For all this will he collected back in higher taxea until the national debt is paid off. Cotton and tobacco crops turned out no more than parity prices as averaged through a number of years. The truck crops failed as they have for several years. In the effort to cut production the Farm Administration has been exceeded _ by .storm, drought and flood. The NKA lessened the hours of work and undertook to increase the pay of labor. But the money in pay envelopes now will not buy more than sixty per cent of what that money used to buy. The paying out of millions of dollar.* from the proceeds of increased federal taxes and the loans from rich men and banks, the payment of otht er milliops to farmers out of the proceeds ,or processing taxes on the necessities of life, has had the effect of a narcotic upon nine out of every ten of the common run of voters in this state. ?Once they were awake and trying to shift for themselves. They saw and understood the bad financial conditions of their state. They ^alized the heavy burden of titxes. They were willing to help lift that burden. By their votes they would put out high-spenders. They wanted economy in all public offices. They were opposed to issuing public bonds. All this has been greatly changed by the conduct of national lawmakers who let down the bars to the greatest spending of public money ever known. It is true that appropriations have been reduced by our general assemblies. But not enough. The burden of taxes is still on us. The enforced collection of taxes is stayed by moratoriums and because property, real and personal, could not be sold for taxes in the absence of buyers. Tax delinquencies, have increased. Officers prate about the immense amount of uncollected taxes and talk about just what we could do if the taxes were in hand. But they a i e not in hand and no vol1 will be." The bulk of the delinquent taxes r.i>\y existing cannot ever be paid. Their lollection will not he forced. I -1end of moie money in eireu.a..;on. out of which taxes may be paid promptly and with ease, there is !e.-s an i !e.-- ca>h available. It takes nmre tnnn ever before to .-.and the high <(?-: of living arid ever, then a poor living. In.-tead of getting out , of trouble we are in deeper than hefore, and the worst of it is that we do not seem to know it. Bonded debts] have a way of maturing, and the interest on renewed obligations is growing. The relief money so freely paid out and which we took as n reborn, prosperity is sooh gone and we cry for more. We still have the old habit of buying new cars and spending all we can get in the pursuit of pleasure, while we should be paying old debts and establishing industry and business. In the face of NRA and its code we have a general strike in the textile industry and the government will feed the strikers and communities while they are at it. I The re is one thing I would like to do and that is to awaken the people to their real condition. If I could| nlake them see and feel their condition. they would be willing to help in the effort to bring things back to -unity and common sense in the management of public and private affairs. T hope they can l>e made t<> see this a- then- dutv. Many are awake to the banger further spending and ate afraid of the high-spenders who w ai'.ii turn u- .-till further vvnen they /.

State Fair Plans Get Under Way The ?ixty-Afth annual South Carolina State Fair, October 22-27, will be more of an all South Carolina exhibition than ever before, since all the premium money will go to people of this stute. * The society decided to limit the premium money to South Carolina exhibits, thus encouraging more people from this state to participate in the fair. Heretofore wonderful diSplaya, somewhat professional, since they were sent to so many fairs, have come to Columbl* and being of gregt educational value, but have been perhaps unfair competition for the man who hasn't the money to buy hia exhibits but must raise them, or arrange them at home. Last year this rule brought many additional state exhibits and we are expecting greater things this year as word seems to have gotten around that it is a South Carolina Fair. "The ideal situation," according to Paul V. Moore, secretary, woiild be to have two classes?open to the world and state owned?but due to the absence of money for worthwhile premiums in both classes, the society decreed that all money go to home grown products. Never in the history ha^ there been such a demand for space. The Steel Building is comparativelys filled now and the fair ivdthree/weefc^ off. Mr. Moore * hastened tb say that while the prize riionay-was limited to South Carolina and there is still plenty of time for all interested in entering their exhibits, there would also be plenty of outside exhibits, though they would not be in competition. Workmen are busy at the Fair Grounds putting>jt in shape. One improvement during the summer has been a new fence, enclosing the whole property. The biggest improvement, of course, is the erection of the new $K3,000 stadium, which with the hind included represents an investment of nearly $100,000 and which will be available for Fair Week. The Clemson-Carolina classic at noon Thurs; day will be played/in this commodious athletic arena, which will be used for the first time October 0. The second collegiate game will be the Annual Tiger-Gamecock contest of fair wo k, 'WHO'S WHO IN AMERICA'* Several Camden Names Listed In Nationally Known Publication. The Columbia State of September 25, carried a list of names of South Carolinians listed in latest "Who's Who in America." Columbia heads the list with fifty-two notables. Camden has five named as follows: Clifford M. Leonard, Samuel Russell, Jr., ;John R. Todd, Egmont C. von Trpsckow and Rev. C. F. Wimberly. In this connection Rev. Wimberly, who is the pastor of the Lyttleton Street Methodist church, and who came here from 'St. iieorge, in Dorchester county, tells us that he has been listed in this publication in every issue since 1916, and that he is the author of more than twenty-five books and booklets, six of which were issued by Fleming H. Revell, of New York, and have been read all over the English-speaking world. Also that he is also listed in "Who's Who in North American Authors," "Who's who in Methodism," and has been invited to a place in the "Encyclopedia of American Biographers" ar.d "The Red Book." issued in England, France, Spain and the United States. Most of Rev. Wimberly's books have been on religious subjects, however, Rev. Wimberly says "I have written '.hreo books of fiction and many -hort -:<>ric<. and f<r.t i ibuied regula. y to i -"Vera! ivkgou- journal- throughout A merica." Rev. Wimberly being a very reson ed gentleman, many people in Camden did not know that we have such a noted author in our midst. Listed also from the county is the name of former Governor .John G. Richards, of Liberty Hill. Another native born is that of J. I'. Richards, formerly of Liberty Hill, who is listed from Lancaster along with George S. Harris and Mrs. Leroy Springs. Two undertaking establishments in Greenwood have abolished free ambulance service in order to comply with the funeral service code. Two new CCC camps are to be located on the Fnoree river near Whitmire. The men will bo transferred from camps now located in North Georgia.

Work Commenced At Haile Gold Mine Intensive preparations are being made to operate the Haile Mine near Kershaw as water pumps are busy night and day pumping water out of the old pits. Plans are being made to operate the first pit on the old road and the third pit known as the "blue hole" because of the color of the water is being drained as the water from the other two pits flow into this pit through underground passage^. A crew of eighteen men have been at work at the HaUe mine for several months. A dam has been built on the Haile mine*branch to store up water and the buildings a$d houses there have been repaired. Last week tHfe main stockholders of the Haile Gold Mining Company who live in New York were inspecting the mine and they expressed themselves as pleased with the progress that had been made. The "blue hole" which is being drained now goes down a distance of about 200 feet. It is about fifty yards wide and sixty yards long and the pumps have brought the water level down a distance of twelve and one-half feet. Hundreds of thousands of gallons of water have been pumped out of this pit. In the upper pit which will be worked there is only about seven feet of water. It is one of the smallest pits at the mine. What is known as the Haile Mine includes seven large pits, some of which go far down into the bowels of the earth and underground passages go out in several directions from these pits. At one time all these pits were in operation as the Haile Mine Ls one of the oldest in the state. John Faulkenberry who is in charge of the work going on there has lived at the mine since he was a baby and worked there for thirteen years before the mine was closed down. His uncle was in charge of the mine for twenty-eight years. This mine was closed clown in 1907 after a boiler explosion killed the superintendent who was a Scotchman named Thier. The mine proved to be a paying proposition up to about three months before its close, Mr. Faulkenberry said. He says that Mr. Thier told him just lx-fore his death that enough gold had been located to operate the mine for a generation. At the time the mine was closed down it had a stamp mill with a capacity of crushing 140 tons of ore per day. At that time they figured that the ore had to produce two dollars worth -of gold per ton to make it pay. Gold is now considerably higher than it was at that time and as a result gold mining is being revived in this state. At the mine now are some of the old railroad tracks and two small engines which were used back in 1907. Mr. Faulkenberry says that he never did believe that these were necessary when the mine was in operation before. Some gold has been obtained from this mine during the past few months by the use of rockers but these activities have been confined to the dust from the old stamp mill. When the mine was operated before the ore was brought up from the pits by hoists that were worked with air. The new proprietors, will put in either a stamp mill or a ball mill to crush the ore.?Lancaster News.
