Well, friends, that's a subject that has given a headaehe in the solving to many of the master minds of the country, including the brain trust. Suppose you were a nigger, had no job, and could get on the relief wagon at 30 cents an hour for 20 hours a week. There would accrue to the worker all of $6 for a little mpre than two days work. If the colored man should accept a job, even for a short time at a dollar a day he would automatically be shut off from the good old CWA that requires short hours, and so far. regular jobs. Farmers all over the country complain that workers are few and becoming more dilficult to manage. In other words, tenants more and more are using farmers' houses and wood as a convenient place to stay?and work for the CWA. How long will such conditions last? In my humble opinion, well into the present summer season. A desperate effort will be made to secure homes on farms for willing workers, but' there are many families who will be left high and dry when Santa Claus ceases to function.?Monroe Enquirer. Honte-Made Aquarium. Columbia, January 22.?Would you ike an aquarium of your own? John A. Crawford, director of physical education for men in the University of South Carolina, gives a few tips on how to make one. If you cannot afTord to buy tropical fish, make a seine of burlap. Any number of choice specimens can be gotten from small streams and edges of ponds. Small silver roaches, gizzard shad, and mud minnows are attractive in an aquarium. Keep them in the pond water, add spigot' water from time to time, and the fish will thrive. Add to the collection a pair of killifish, generally known as brass heads or top minnows. Don't get the brass head confused with another top minnow, the pot-belly. The latter is vicious and will eat the tails and fins off the other fish. Any fish collected can be kept, even the voracious type, bass and jack. But these fish must be small and of the same size to keep th^ni from eating one another. A very small mudfish is beautiful, says Mr. Crawford. t Boy Skater Meets Death Anderson, Jan. 14.?Gus Heartly, 12, was almost instantly killed here this afternoon while skating on a street when he was struck by an automobile driven by "Milton Angelo Angelakos, 16. The accident was held by a coroner's jury to be unavoidable. Angelakos said it was impossible :o avoid striking the boy as he came suddenly from behind a wagon traveling in a direction opposite to that jf the car. Miss Nash Got Best Of Gorman The textile industry of the South read with much interest the recent statement of Miss Carrie Nash, former financial secretary of textile union No. 2171 at Greenwood, S. (\, ami the reply to same by Francis J. Gorman, vice-president of the United Textile Workers, as issued from Washington, U'S' The statements of Miss Nash may be listed as follows: That she was financial secretary of textile union No. 2171 at Greenwood, S. C. That each month she mailed to Francis J. Gorman's secretary u money order for approximately $150 and, that ufter each remittance, a letter of thanks came immediately. That prior to the strike she had sent to the secretary of Francis J. Gorman approximately $1,500. That when, during the strike, the local treasury became depleted, she, upon the order of the local union president, sent Francis J. Gorman a special delivery letter notifying him of that fact and that whereas remittances had always been promptly acknowledged, no reply was ever niude to that or any other request for assistance. That at a convention in Gaffney, S. C., a resolution was drawn and | telegraphed to Francis J. Gorman asking that a commissary be set up in Greenwood for the relief of union members but no reply was made to that appeal. That in spite of the fact that textile union No. 2171 sent the secretary of Francis J. Gorman $1,500 prior to the strike, all of which was promptly ackowledged, all requests for relief during the strike were ignored and no relief was sent 'by Francis J. Gorman or any of his associates. Gorman's Reply. Francis J. Gorman, in a letter from Washington, D. C., daited January 3, 1935, says: That there is a code of ethics in the labor movement which is upheld by all decent people, thereby implying that it was wrong for anybody to question him about union fund? or iibout his failure to afford relief 'o hungry strikers. That he hoped Miss Nash would attend a meeting which he would address at Newberry, S. C., on January 5, 1935. He failed to say why no relief wa.sent or why he ignored letters abou: the need for relief funds. M iss Nash's Reply. That the charges she made against Francis J. Gorman are true and thai she can prove them. That she did not see any necessity for going to Newberry to attend a Meeting, as no meeting could alter the facts. The Present Status. Francis J. Gorman has not attempted to deny: That Miss Nash, as financial secretary of local No. 2171. sent him $1,500 prior to the strike. That when the members of textile union No. 2171 found themselves in distress during the strike and called upon him for relief, he ignored all communications and sent neither funds nor any other form of relief. Our Belief. That Francis J. Gorman and his associates kept all the money collected as initiation feea and dues prior to the strike. That during the strike they deliberately and with carefully planned statements stalled the strikers about the relief to be sent. That none of the money collected from union members prior to the strike was ever sent South except as salaries and expenses for state and district representatives of the Gorman organization, most of whom lived in luxury at the best hotels. That Miss Nash told the truth and that Francis J. Gorman dares not answer her except evasively. That her story is that of almost every local textile union in the South >ut that few other financial secretaries have nerve enough to tell the truth.?Textile Bulletin. Pebbles Fell on Charleston. Columbia, January 22.?A shower of pebbles fell on Charleston during the earthquake of 1886, according to an old newspaper on file in the South Carolina room at the University of South Carolina. The first fall occurred at 7:30 a. m. September 1 and a second was noticed at 11. The shower appeared to fall in a slanting direction, from north to outh. Included were morsels of flint. All were plainly abraded by the action of water. A few had sharp fractures and had evidently been recently broken. The heaviest shower was reported to have fallen around the News and Courier office. .< Plows At Eighty Ehrhardt, Jan. 12.?Howard Polk, now in his eighty-first year, is one of the hardest working men around Ehrhardt. Toward the close of last month land breaking was begun on hit plantation near here. He waa one of the main plowmen on the farm.' For years he has plowed daily without becoming fatigued, hi- fi 4 A f t u - . ^ i Would Not Accept Fee From Robbers *> ? The opinion of Solicitor Finb-y. i.ut the Miller family knew when hid the bulk of the money ubu.md by the bandits who robbed the bp? nig null pay car near Lancaster, was - .> tained early Sunday morning, when $13,32*2 of it was found under the house in Gastonia of a brother of the two Millers in jail for the crime confessed to have ibeen buried by the father of the Miller brothers. Officers said they are sure that Will Miller, the owner of the house, knew nothing about it being there. Sunday afternoon officers from $40U more near the first cache. This leaves about $3,000 of the money missing yet. Ami that missing money had reper- j cushions in Yorkville over the "week end, when a considerable attorney fee. was refused by a Yorkville lawyer, without proof that the fee was not being paid out of the loot, for the defense of the Miller brothers under arrest. Manuel and Jim Miller have confessed enought to officers to indicate that they will plead guilty when arraigned at I^ancaster before lung. They live in Charlotte and got a Charlotte law firm, Carswell and Ervin, for their attorneys. That legal firm wrote Attorney Thomas F. McDow, of Yorkville, past president of the state bar association and chief justice of the ad litom supreme court deciding the judges' salary case, asking to have him associated as counsel at Ijancaster, to make an argument to the court. *!rhe preliminaries went smoothly, the fee as agreed upon, and then Lawyer McDow imposed a condition precedent. It was that no part of the money paid him could be part of the loot of the payroll car. The Charlotte lawyers at once agreed with his position and started an enquiry about the source of the money promised to be paid the attorneys, before the finding of most of it at Gastonia. The result of candid talks with the officers in charge of the case against the men arrested, and a full investigation, made the Charlotte attorneys believe their fee could not be paid, except with part of the stolen money. At once. Lawyer McDow declined lo become attorney for the bandits in any way, and the Charlotte firm of attorneys joined him in this and so notified the prospective clients. Tliis seems to be the first published instance of lawyers conforming to the urge of the United States attorney general, the Roosevelt administration, the American Bar association, and many state bars, that attorneys do j not participate in the distribution of bandit loot, by taking stolen money | from crooks as fees. ".Some people think a lawyer can be hired to do anything by any blankety blank anybody, but that isn't true," was the comment of Attorney McDow when confronted with the story of his declining a fiat fee from the bandits arrested for the payroll robbery near Lancaster recently.?Yorkville Enquirer. The ( ruzy Clerk' A register sheet for passing visitors would mark a needed civic improvement if the uctiona of * certain lady here the other day is any criterion. Saturday afternoon a rather buxom lady of middle1 nge approached the clerk in the Rockingham hotel, rr. J "Is this where they sign?" she ask- t ed. . ' '\fl ?i The clerk answered in the affirmative. "' "idTf?. "I think I will sign then," she said. "This is the first time I ever stopped in Rockingham." Whereupon she wrote her name and' address on the hotel register. Then she turned away and sat in a nearby chair. "Bath?" asked the clerk. "I'm surprised you should ask me ' such a question. No, of course not!" she replied indignantly. The clerk quickly realized the room that wquld be suitable. A single, without on the third floor. Of course. Then he asked if she was ready tQ go up. "Up where?" replied the lady who was in the act of picking up her hoggage. "I'm going to Charleston," she replied with feeling, "and can't see why I you should be so dern inquisitive. 1 i put my name on your register and ! now you a^k me if I need a bath. I 'think you're plumb .crazy." The clerk held his tongue, but felt like doing some regal cussing. Auto-Hog Collision Mr. .John A.

Flying High And Buzzing Louder Here's u little classic which is passed along for your edification: Perhaps the maylly, living but a few hours, wjth no food problems to solve, and spending its whole life in whirling flight, thinks, if it thinks at all, that the earth iB something that happened to be here when it arrived and many may be gone tomorrow. Man knows that it has been here for countless thousands of years and that his brief span of years here is of little more importance to the world thin that of the mayfly. ^ Hia flight, while it seems longer, is _%B purposeless.
