To Plant Tung OH :
Trees In Georgia
Jacksonville, Fla., Oct. 20,?Henry
Ford is the latest entrant in an infant
enterprise that may bring the
southeast millions of dollars annually
by breaking China's stranglehold on
tung oil production.
On his 8,000-acre plantation at
Waws, Ga., near Savannah, the manufacturer
has ordered planted 200
acres of 4ung trees. Pedigreed nursery
stock and seed will be furnished
by Harry W. Bennett, owner of a
large grove near Gainesville, Fla.
From the trees is taken an oil indispensable
in , the manufacture of
some paints, lacquers, varnishes and
enameis. The paint industry, it is
estimated, spends $1,000,000 a year
either for tung oil or less satisfactory
substitutes. Ford's industries use
much of the oil imported.
In years of experimenting at his
Gainesville grove, pennett has found
60 tung trees an acre will yield annually,
wittn six to eight years of
their planting, enough fruit, to produce
1,000 to 1,500 pounds of oil at a
cost of five cents a pound. The 10year
average selling price for Chinese
tung oil was said by Bennett to be
15 cents a pound.
Government chemists say the oil
produce^ in the United States is superior
in to the Chinese oil.
The liquid also is a preserver of
wood and cloth. It does not destrdy
the pigments of the paints in which
it is used.
Small, inexpensive mills can be set
up to press the oil from tung nuts in
a manner more efficient than China's
hand labor.

board one day last week approved
plans for the sterilization of 21 persons.

Salaries Of Judges
The following article written by A.
K, Smoke, of Stv Matthews appeared
in the Newa & Courier, of Charleston
recently:
The suit of Judge Grimball against
the state to collect a questionable salary
is unfortunate in many respects,
and not calculated to elevate the dignity
of the judiciary in the public
mind. .
It is no time for offensive personalities,
but it is time for some truthful
plain talk on conditions in our state.
This is not a pleasant duty for good
citizens. Th<?y greatly prefer to
dwell on the virtues, not on the defects
of their fellow mortals. However,
we must admit that the average
citizen is entirely too meek and mild
about recorgnizing public iniquities.
Among other regrettable features
of this action, is the fact, that, right,
or wrong, the public has, or will reach
the conclusion, that Judge Grimball
has \>een made Vthe scapegoat," by
other judges and constitutional officialsr
whose affected salaries we are
told, ''totals some two hundred thousand
dollars."
Justly, or unjustly, the masses, even
of fair-minded men and women,
will entertain the suspicion, that all,
or most of these officials are silently
wishing Judge Grimball "God speed,"
but maintained a discreet silence during
the recent campaign, not daring
to air so important a matter before
the voters, as it should have been,
while the candidates could be pledged
against this injustice, as the masses
regard it. This does not seem to be
a strained conclusion, when you recall
that the judge brought suit in
less than thirty days after the last
primary.
As. quoted iji the press of the state,
Judge Grimball alleges "that the compensation
of his office, fixed in the
constitution, is $7,500 per year." That
amount must be fixed in the constitution,
" a la Grimball," it certainly4
cannot be found in the constitution
of 1895, even though that instrument
has largely been reduced to a scrap
of paper, by a majority of the legislature,
a minority of the supreme
court, and a majority of circuit judge,
especially, in' relation to the $65,000,000
bond issue, and increased
judge's salaries, during their terms
of office.
He further sets forth that the constitution
provides that compensation
is not to be diminished during one's
term of office." True, but why
should even an interested judge, forget,
or orrtit to state the truth, the
whole truth, and nothing but the
truth? I cannot believe that the
judge is guilty of willful misrepresentation,
but his statement is amazing
The constitution, as Judge Grimball
should know, provides that the salaries
of judges and constitutional officers,
cannot be increased, or decreased,
durnig their term of office.
That judges' compensation has been
fixed at $7,500 is an unblushing violation
of constitutional mandates,
that reflects no enduring reputation
or honor on the legislature that enacted,
or the judges that permitted,
and accepted it. r
It is greatly to be regretted, but
without question, the judiciary, as a
whole, no longer commands the respect
of the masses, that they once
did, for which unfortunate fact, they
are largely responsible. Their record
is associated in the public mind, with
unconstitutional bond issues, "expense
money" hold ups, enormous deficits,
and devious legislative jugglery
to increase their own salaries to $7,500
per annum.
Perhaps the most pitiful plea presented
by the judge against a really
bankrupt treasury, "too thin and
bare to hide offence,' is this: "I am
informed that durnig the 1934 session,
the state had a surplus of $400,000."
It is not a question of treasury surplus,
but of the real honesty, legality,
and morality of originally increasing
judges' salaries, during their terms
of o'ffice, contrary7 to constitutional
restrictions.
"Four hundred thousand in the
treasury,'* with millions of indebtedness;
it won't pay interest! The
judge may be innocent of such intention,
and I hope he is, but the public
will probably suspect that this suit
is not merely intended to collect
the $242.50, (for we are told that "we
are similarly situated*") but is the
first light tap of the sledge hammer,
that anticipates smashing the door of
your state treasury, for a "two hundred
thousand dollar," raid on the
distressed taxpayers.
It would seem that the idea prevails
in some minds, that the best
place to balance their budgets, is on
the back of the taxpayer's neck, and
our people had better realize before
it is too late, that our state can only
balance its budget, by unbalancing
some of the budget makers.
The writer sympathizes with the
judges, and is one of their best
friends. He is not their^ enemy, because
he tells them the truth. Doubtr
less, some of thern regret this unfortunate
suit, but they must remember,
that, truth is truth, to the end# of
reckoning. "This way of the transgressor
is hard." " "Whatsoever we
sow, that will we also reap." They
aj*o now, and will continue to experience
the penalty of violated law, even
if ignorantly and conscientiously
indulged in. The law is inexorable,
"be sure your sins have, and will find
you out," you are arraigned before
the bar of public opinion, and even
Governor Blackwood can't pardon or
parplo you.
Respectfully, candidly, and pleasantly,
does it not seem that the lo&L
cal and truly open way out of this
embarassing (many say disgraceful)
situation, is for judge Grimball to
withdraw action against his bankrupt
state. Then the other judges
to notify the "live men, learned in the
law, charged by their request, and .
the authority of ?the governor, with
the duty of teaching them common
law, and of interpreting moral obligation,
that their services are no
longer required. For truly, "who to
himself is law, no law doth need, offends
no law, and is a king" indeed."
Then the entire judiciary, and constitutional
officers assemble, say in
the supreme court room, and unanimously
adopt the prayer and confession
of "Zaccheus, the chief Publican."
"Behold Lord, if I have taken
anything from any man by oppression,"
or have .accepted increased unconstitutional
salaries, "I restore
him," or my beloved distressed state,
"four fold."
Try it, judges! "Quit yourselves
like men." Go, sin no more, and relaize
that God and your oppressed fellow
citizens will forgive past transgressions,
and will extend to you the
right hand of fellowship.
It is said to his honor, that the late
Judge T. P^ Cothran consistently re
fused to be a party, to the salary
legerdemain feats, all too common
during recent years in South Carolina.
It takes more than money to
make a man; and when T.'P. Cothran
stands before "the great white
throne," the embleifi of purity, we
are warranted in believing that Deity
will say to Gabriel with pardonable
pride: "Here comes a man."
Interested reader, will you emulate
his example, and prove worthy of
such a eulogy?

Why Doctors Favor
i a Liquid Laxative
A doctor will tell you that the care- J
less use of strong laxatives may do more
harm than good.
Harsh laxatives often drain the *
system, weaken the bowel muscles,
and even affect the liver and kidneys.
Fortunately, th? public is fast
returning to laxatives in liquid form.
The dose of a liquid laxative can be
measured. The action can thus be
regulated to suit individual need. It
forms no habit; you needn't take a ' !?
"double dose" a day or two later.
