Seven hundred una fifty workers liuve lost their jobs and now must ko out in a vain search for emldo>n?nt. A mill community herald* ?d us one Of the model communities of the nation now becomes a "ghost town with windows or beautiful littie homes boarded up, with churches, hospital und school, where the best Of American life held sway closed, perhaps never to again open for service. A community established and kept in comparative prosperity through the depression period with a1 payroll of 1400,000 annually, now sue( umbs to a hopeless depression made hy a few radical agitators whose excuse for their acthyis hinges on their endeavor to discourage efficiency. What- u shame! What a mistake! What a crime against the hundreds of Joyal American workers at the Chicopee mills. What an offense ugainst little children In the homes of the workers. The Cliicopee closing is a graphic example of the thing which happens in any industrial community when the workers allow the radical agitators to direct their affairs. W. L. Smith, president of the mills, in commenting on the closing said: "Wo just don't care to operate under conditions existing here." He said exactly what any other mill executive would have said. He said just what any true American workman would say if placed in a position of responsibility at the head of an industrial plant. No Industrialist, no business man, no worker placed in responsibility, but would make the same decision. Ttye business of manufacturing and selling is job enough to challenge the best metal of any organization and no concern can long stand the additional load of battling with a minority group of employes determined to war on every necessary business policy. Certainly, such unfortunate situations as that developed at the Cliicopee mills, will have the effect of teaching all of us that the agitators are our enemies. They take away the precious privilege of honest toil. They ruin homes and leave little children in rags. They succeed in denying the honest worker his right to work and put him adrift in a society already budened by the unemployed. If the workers at Gainesville, the business men of Gainesville and the mill executives of Gainesville had realized their common foe early in the game, perhaps there would have come that cooperation between all th^ groups necessary to save such situ-' ations. The agitators would have been kicked out on their ears and today .hundreds of workers who have lived happily through the depression in the employ of Chicopee, would continue to have jobs, their children good schooling, their sick good care and their families delightful cottage homes in which to live.?l>aGrange, Ga., News. The State Votes For Corn-Hog Program Florence, Nov. 4.?South Carolina, farmers voting in the recent corn-hog referendum voted overwhelmingly for continuation of the corn-hog adjustment program, according to figures compiled in the office of A. L. DuRant, extension livestock specialist here. Among contract signers the vote cast in the state was 1.3.V2 for and26 against the program, a ratio of 52 to one. Non-contract signers voting totaled 1111 for and 06 against, a ratio of 3.4 to one. These figures give a total vote of 1.G25 of which 1,543 were for the program and S2 against, or a ratio of 18.S to one. The heaviest voting was naturally in certain Pee Dee and Coastal Plains counties where commercial hog production* is most important. The largest vote was in Orangeburg, 214 for and 4 against. Hampton farmers voted 170 for, 3 against; Colleton 118 for, 1 against; Sumter 83 for, 2 against; IJamberg 119 for, 24 against. Figures from each of the 48 states show that more than 813,000 corn and hog producers out of 941,000 voting, or 86.3 per cent, voted to continue the corn-hog adjustment program. k Many Varieties Of Trees Columbia, Nov. 4.?"There arc over a hundred varieties of native trees on the University of South Carolina campus," said E. C. Coker, professor of mathematics at the University of South Carolinh. in an address to the Chester Garden Olub. "Probably no similar area in any part of the state boasts this number." For many years Professor Coker, who is chairman of the committee on buildings and grounds, has been securing South Carolina trees for the campus and has given much attention to landscaping it.
