THE TENANT PROBLEM
For seventy years the Houth bus
utruggled with the tenant problem.
That In, the owiuth of land have
struggled with the problem. The tenant,
an a rule, had no worry over It.
J!e knew land had to he worked and
If he could not "iqadi^j wdth Mr.
Hrnith, there wuh Mr. Jones a few
miles away, or Mr. Brown a few
'vt> miles up or down the road. Bolug
In debt never guvo the tenant, thV> i
colored tenant especially, any serious
concern. To him thy whole matter
of money and debt wan a needless
confusion. At the end of the year
he expected a new deal not like the
one we now capitalize, lie went on
the simple hut all embracing theory I
that "every year must Htand for itnelf."
If he happened to "come out j
behind" that wan a part of the Ken- <
oral ''scheme of thingH and wuh to i
be put behind one like a hint year's
cloud which could not be recalled. I
In 18C.r>, here and elsewhere, the 1
newly frood men and women tilled 1
thi- roads with aimless going to and '
fro. Tho right to do as they pleased 1
was exercised to the full. A few 1
tired of It In a very short time utid
wanted to be regularly at work even
If it was on their own responsibility. 1
The others in time hud to go to
work, but they did not do so with 1
any enthusiasm or zest. In time the '
new system or the new adjustment
came* I rack to one phase of the situation
"before the War," the lauderlord
stood in the shoes of the former
master in that he became the one
responsible for food no matter what
happened. Also lie wuh the one who
supplied shelter. Clothing and other
things were managed somehow or
somehow other. But in unusually
tight tinn-s even' these had to he supplied
hy the landlord.
From IMF, on, the problem has
been not un the shoulders of the tenant.
but on tho shoulders of the landlord
lie h;in had to "tote the misers'
as the (dd colored woman said.
Some landlords have been harsh
pel haps iii their treatment, but If we
take the whole population of landlord
ami tenant into consideration it
is rather safe to say that the tenant
has been supported and fed and
carried along generally hy the landlord
On the basis of capital invested
and the value of his time the landlord
has received a very, very small
return through tho years.
Toifny a hue and cry has been
raised against all landlords and In
behalf, it is shouted, of the poor op-1
pressed tenant.
It is either mistaken zeal or downright
malicious Interference in many
cases. In fact, for most sections of I
tiie South it is the landlord who needs i
sv input hy and help, lie is the man'
who kept on trying to farm, kept on I
trying to buy food Jand fertilizers t

THE
GREAT F0RRE8T
The late Capt. H. K. White, of Fqrt
Mill, maternal grandfather of Cupt.
10. W. Spring*, never neglected un
opportunity to hIiow his devotion to
the "Cause of the South" and to the
heroes of the Confederate army., A
good many years ago, Capt. White
was Invited hy the town council of
l-'ort Mill to suggest names for the
town's streets. Ho did so and his
suggestions were adopted. The name
lie suggested for the street runulng
west from the grounds of Unity Presbyterian
church was Forrest?not
"Forest," us was erroneously painted
op a street sign some two or three
\ears ago. The street was named in
honor of General Nathan Bedford Forrest,
of Tennessee, the only soldier
In the Civil War to rise from the runk
uf private to lieutenant general. Al
though he hud been to school little,
Forrest was about as far removed
from lacking intelligence und inltialive
tis it is possible to imagine one.
lieneral Joseph K. Johnston, able and
llseriminating Confederate commandit,
said that if Forrest had had the
advantages of military training lie
would iiave been "the great central
figure of the war." Forrest was a
lighter and knew how to win buttles.
At the outbreak of the war he was
a cotton planter in northern Mississippi,
near Memphis, lie advunced
rapidly in rank after raising a
cavalry battalion for the Confederate
army. At Fort Uonelson, Tennessee,
Forrest refused to surrender with
other Confederate commands, although
in a seemingly hopeless situation.
Instead, he cut his way out
of the encircling Union forces with
all the mounted troops lie commanded
in action there. He raided the
Union lines almost tit will, always
wiili boldness and skill that brought
praise from his comrades and chagrin
to tin* enemy. His command took
part in many important engagements,
not the l?*asl or which perhaps was
the assault and capture of Fort Billow.
Teiim-ssee, where the garrison
was composed principally of negroes,
lew of whom lived to tell tile tale.
After the war General Forrest became
a railroad president. In bis brain
was conceived the idea of the old
Kit Klttx Klan, that did much to save
tin- Smith's civilization. General Forrest
died in Memphis, October 2K,

Hopes Huey Will Come To Hlsself
In his controversy wltli Senator
Huey P. Long, following la an extract
from the remark* of Hon. Henry F.
Ashurst, of Arizouu, as It uppeared in
the Congressional Record:
"It 1h not for me to pass Judgment
upon the Senator from Louisiana. He
bus a* much right to put** judgment
upon me as I h^ve to uppralae him.
An attitude of censorlousnes* is the
one attitude the Senate never tolerates,
and never forgives any of its
members, but venture the suggestion
Ihut if the Senator from Louisiana
should look through this telescope objectively,
as he doubtless will some
day, Tor he is of an Inquiring mind,
lie will distinctly perceive a man frequently
disrespectful of the rights and
feelings of others, exalting himself
witli an unwarranted sense of superiority
over Others less gifted and less
fortunate than himself; a man too
often taking undue advantage of hie
privileged position here; a man of
reckless abandon in speech and relentless
in his forays upon those who
disagree witli him.
"Aeschylus, the earliest of the three
great Greek tragic poets, was born
about 500 11. C. When the poet left
Athens he took up residence In Sicily.
It will bo recalled that the eagles in
Sicily hud a habit at that time of
pouncing down upon large turtles;
then, after ascending to a considerable
height, dropping the turtles upon,
stones, cracking the shells, and obtaining
the turtles' flesh for a meal.
"A legend of doubtful authenticity
states that Aeschylus was killed by a
turtle which am eagle let fall upon
the head of the poet, mistaking the
poet's head for a large stone.
"1 express the hope that the American
eagle will not be required to drop
something upon the head of the Senator
from Ixjuisinana before he takes
a hint and recognizes his true relation
to the Senate and the country."
Sheeps Ousted For Birds
Gouts have long been gone fiom
Goat Island, off tlie coast of Oregon,
but In recent years stockmen pastured
sheep there. However, close cropping
of the grass by the sheep was
exposing the soil to erosion by wind

useless for the anklets, petrels and
tufted puffins which nest in burrows.
Since this island is the only one for
miles along the coast suitable for
these burrowing nesters President
Roosevelt issued a recent executive
order creating the Goat Island Bird

Girl Lets Rattler
Bite Her In Test
New York, July 12.?Beebe do la
Fontulno either wan nursing a double
rattlesnake bite Friday or else Broadway
had witnessed one of the most
exciting hoaxes In years.
Most observers agreed that the slim
brunet dancer actually was bitten
when she thrust her hand before the
gaping Juws of a six-foot Florida rattler
Thursday night In an effort Ho
prove that a vegeturlan diet had made
her Immune of its poison.
But the skeptics, who wore turned
back when they sought to examine
the girl's liund afterward, were not
entirely convinced.
The performance, which kept a
couple of hundred spectators 011 edge
for several minutes, came as the climax
to a health lecture by Dr. Lloyd
C. Shankln in a West Forty-eighth
street auditorium.
The duncer threw open a green
wicker busket, grasped the rattler behind
its head, and lifted it out.
Several times she extended her
bared right arm toward the snake,
hesitated, and drew it back. Then
she slowly moved her arm near the
wide open jaws.
Suddenly she screamed, snapped
back her arm and stood swaying with
tho rattler held at arm's length. She
burled it into the basket and slammed
the cover down.
She was sobbing when Dr. Irene
Austin, assistant to Dr. Shankln, led
her backstage. Persons who clustered
around a closed door, heard two
shrieks at long intervals, and then
saw her taken out of the building,
weeping and speechless. The third
linger and thumb of her right hand
were bandaged.
Dr. Shaukiu, who said the snake
was shipped up from his farm near
Miami, said she would be 0,11 the platform
with him Friday night, alive
and well, to demonstrate the efficacy
of a vegetable diet.
500 Workers Stage
Walkout At Sumter
Sumter, July 8.?More than H00
workmen at the plants of the Williams
Furniture company and the O.
L. Williams Veneer company went
out 011 strike this afternoon.
It is understood a series of conferences
were held this morning between
representatives of the workmen
and the management and that
the operators refused to meet the demands
of the workers. The workers
are said to be demanding NRA hours
and wages. Noither representatives
of the. workmen nor management
would give out statements this afternoon.
Only a few workers returned to
tin- plants after luncheon and both
plants were forced to close down.
GROUP SEEKS HOME;
NOBODY WANTS THEM
Shunted from one place to another a
hand of people, believed to be Crooks,
are seeking a home in the British
West Indies where they may settle
down In peace. Last year a vessel to?.k
then, front Honduras to the island of
Little Cayman and deserted them. They
wore without food or water, and mothers
with infants suffered greatly until
found and taken to a little village.
The Caymnnlnns then shipped them ,
to Jamaica, hut Jamaica claimed their
passports wore not correctly filled out.
Halt! repulsed an ntrompt to land them
there. Jamaica stopped a second effort
to leave them on that island, so
the wanderers were returned to the
Cayman Islands. Caymanlans declare
that damage by .hurricanes have left
them In a serious plight and they can- ]
not care for visitors. .
Sheltered Sea in Canada
From Vancouver to Prince Itupert,
British Columbia, there is a natural
sheltered salt water seaway which
is used by ships plying up and down
the coast. The route lies between the
mainland and off-shore islands and js
comparable to the fjords of Norway bocause
both mainland and tslands are
very mountainous. This route Is
known as the Inside Passage.
Monte Criito Treasure
The old legend of the treasure cave
on Monte Crlsto. made famous by the
novel of Alexander Dumas, has been
recalled by the recent visit of some
Coirsican fishermen to that little Island.
While seeking shelter from a gale on
the shore of Monte Crlsto they came
upon se\eral Eighteenth century gold
coins near the ruins of the watch tower.
Perfectly normal weather is rare In
any locality.
Russia To Buy
American Cotton
Moscow, July 15.?An Increasing ft*.
muiui by the Soviet for raw cotton
from the United States was predicted
by some observers as a result
of the new trade agreement between
the two countries. I
This commodity, it was believed I
might ilgure largely iu fulfillment of I
Russia's promise to take 100 per cent
more imports from America than U I
had in the last three years.
Americans In Moscow were happy I
over the agreement, not merely be- fl
cause it meant an increasing trade I
turnover but because they believed
it would have a general suluiory efv I
feet on Russo-American relations.
Since the breakdown of previous
negotiations, many American business H
representatives had been uneasy H
about future orders and some flrtng I
were arranging to close their Moscow
offices.
While the sum Involved in the
agreement was relatively small, it 1
was pointed out it did not necessarily I
fix a limit. * i
The newspaper, Za Industrillzatziu.
organ of heavy industry, today called H
the agreement a stepping stone to H
efforts to reach a more comprehens- I
ive solution of trade relations. H
"The significance of the agreement I
lies in the fact it is the first attempt I
at a real practical solution of at least I
part of the problem of Soviet-Ameri- H
can trade relations," the publication H
said.
"The agreement will finally put an 1 j
end to the possibility of discrimina- 1
tlon against Soviet exports to Ameri- HI
ca and will thus guarantee an income I !
to the U. S. S. R. which is a neces- H
sary factor for an increase in Soviet I
imports from the United States."
There were official expressions o( H
satisfaction, but no information was I
offered about purchases the Russians I
planned to make from America.
CHASING THE BOOTLEGGER*
If every county In South Carolina
is on par with Calhoun, the bottleg- I (
gers are up against lean pickings and H J
tough operative sailing. There are I
reasons for this. In the first place
the new law brings in revenue. Sec- I
ondly the upper crusters that drink I
liquor (and many do) can now get ^B
the grade they wish, without snoop- I {
lng, and forsaking the "fire-water' H
of the "leggers." * Thirdly the legal I
liquor fraternity is naturally against I
the outlaws who dodge the license H
fee and taxes, and who sell their hog- I j
wash at cutrate prices. j
The palmy days of bootleggers are
over, for the present at least... The
next problem to be watched with in- ^B

upon crime.?Calhoun Times. i
