Dr. Epps 8tates His Position
Editor The Camden Chronicle:
My attention has been called to a
recent letter in the News and Courier
written by A. B. Nimitz, of Mount
Pleasant, S. C. The author criticizes
me for being State President of (he
South Carolina Farmers and Taxpayers'
League and at the same time
State President of the South Carolina
Roosevelt for Re-election Club,
lie claims that the ainiB of these two
organizations are entirely incompatible.
He says, in part, "It must be
very convenient to have a mind that
allows one to praise first this and
then that which is the direct opposite
of the first, whenever tjie occasion
calls for such praise, and one must
have a very active mind to Jump from
one side of the fence to the other
side. Dr. Epps, I envy you or I wonder
if I do."
Nothing but ignorance of one of the
first and chief aims of both the Farmers
and Taxpayers' League and of the
Roosevelt administration could cause
Mr. Nimitz to thus accuse me of inconsistency.
This first and chief aim
was and is the Saving of the farms
and homes of the people. 1 have the
honor of being a charter member, one
of the fifteen men who founded the
Farmers and Taxpayers' League about
seven years ago. One of our very
acts was to petition the Federal government,
through our'natlonal legislators,
to put a stop to the cruel sales
*" of our farms and homes for taxes and
mortgages, giving the owners a chance
to save them. And the response of
Roosevelt's administration in doing
that so successfully is a matter of j
history that even his and the people's
bitterest enemies cannot deny. Not
only has Roosevelt saved the farms
and homes, but industries of all kinds,
such as textile industries, banks, and
railroadk, owe himr* debt of deepest
gratitude, although many of them are
now biting tfee hand that fed them.
The Farmers and Taxpayers' League
and Roosevelt are fcoth against waste
in government. No doubt there has
been some waste in the tremendous
Federal, activities,, but Roosevelt has
not been to blame. With such extensive
operations it is of course impossible
to.have all agents honest and efficient.
The great expenditures of
the New Deal have been necessary
to save human lives and to prevent
human suffering, and to prevent a
bloody revolution. Perhaps Mr.
Nimitz is one of those mentioned by
President Roosevelt in his Atlanta
speech, the unenviable type of man
who cares not a fiddler's dam for the
other fellow so long as his own feet
are cocked up before a warm-fire and
his own stomach full of good rations.
Roosevelt and the League are both
fighting to protect the rights of the
people. They are fighting for honesty,
efficiency and economy in government.
The government that does not
! stand for the rights of the people is
neither honest in purpose, efficient
in administration, or economical in
| accomplishment.
Roosevelt Is striving to bring about
a balancing of the national budget
just as soon as it tfs humanly and
humanely possible. But he does not
propose to balance it by crushing the
last spark' Of "life out of the deserv
ing but unfortunate American citizens.
He prefers to mash some of
the ill-gotten millions out of the overstuffed
pockets of the unscrupulous
robbers who put the poyerty stricken
people in the bjread-lines. And listen
just a minute, Mr. Nimltz, and all others
who think as you do; If President
Roosevelt is blocked in his efforts
to protect the people with legislation
the people are going to rise
up and protect themselves with shotguns.
CARL B. EPPS, President,
South Carolina Roosevelt for Re-election
Club.

Statistics Show
Slight Increase
For the first time since the establishment
of the Bureau of Vital Statistics
of the South Carolina Board
of Health in 1916, the death rate from
tuberculosis in South Carolina failed
to show a decrease during the year
of 1934; instead there, was a slight
increase according to reports received
by the South Carolina, Tuberculosis
Association from the National Tuberculosis
Association. The information
from the National Tuberculosis Association
compiled from reports from
the vital statistics bureau of the forty-eight
states show that South Cart
Una was one of the five states which
showed a slight increase in the death
rate in 1934.
The National Tuberculosis Association
reports that a study of the tuberculosis
death rates of the fortyeight
states for the five year period
1930-1934 shows that there has been
a fairly uniform decline amounting to
twenty per cent. The decline in the
death rate for South Carolina, also
amounting to twenty per cent, showed
that during the first four years of the
period with the slight Increase during
the fifth year1. "'The total number of
deaths from tuberculosis in the state
during the five years was 5,905.
The study .also revealed that the
lowest death rate in the United States
was in Wyoming, and the highest in
Arizona. The very low rate in Wyoming,
the report says, was due to the
fact that the country is so sparsely
settled, while the high rate for Arizona
was attributed to the fact that
so many tuberculosis patients go to
Arizona for treatment. cv>
In its report the National Tuberculosis
Association expresses gratification
ihat the tuberculosis death rate
hav continued downward during the
Oppression. A warning, however, was
sounded against undue optlmlam. Tuberculosis,
it was emphasised^ is still
far from being under control and continues
to be the country's greatest
public health problem, causing a far
greater number of deaths in the productive
years between 15 and 45 than
any other disease.
Five companies of National Guards
were ordered to Pekin, Illinois, where
workers in liquor distilleries are on a
strike, with 2,000 men out. The town
of 17,000 is virtually paralyzed in so
far as business is concerned. No attempt
wasT being made to operate the
big distillery since Monday.

which crashed to earth with an explosion
of steam.
Fireman 8. A. Orr, also of Columbia,
wan taken by ambulance to the
Columbia hospital, badly scalded. He
died there seven hours after the accident.
Several pasesngers were reported
to have been shaken about, but none
was seriously Injured so far as could
be learned.
Railway officials began an Investigation
to determine the cause of the
wreck, but reached no immediate ^conclusion.
The first four units of the
traiil after the locomotive wore derailed
with It.
The train, a JaeksonvfHe-Colimtbia
local, had left Jacksonville last night
Sand was due to arrive at Columbia
two hours and ten minutes after the
accident but waa totally disabled.
A relief tra^p from Columbia pulled
in to clear the tracks and carry the
passengers to their destinations.
The engine half buried itself in the
earth as it plunged from the rails on
a curve. Only one Pullman, the last
car of the train, was left on the rails.
The baggage car was splintered but
the baggagemaster had just left it to j
go back into the day conch-when jthe I
(trash came. No one else was in tlie '
baggage coach.
A day coach and Pullman also left 1
the rails. The train was a five-car{
one.
One of the cars leaped out.onto
highway No. 28, coming to rest length
wise up and down the roadway which
was blocked.

portion of the Southern tracks in addition
to C. & W. C. tracks which

trainB were not delayed for that railroad

Raleigh, N. C., Fob, 7.?Two men
were asphyxiated and olio electrocutod
today at state's prison hero for
murder in the llrst such legal triple
execution performed east of the Mississippi
river.
All three wore negroes.
Will hong, 19, sentenced in Alamance
county, died in> the electric
chair first. His crime was committed
btToreT the1 gas law became effective
July 1. 1935.
J. T. Sail ford, 30, and Thomas Watson,
25, died by gas, Sanford^ first, for
a crime in Durham county.
Due to the necessity of completely
clearing the chamber of deadly fumes
of hydrocyanic gas between the last

kill the three men, and then some
20 minutes longer to again clear the
chamber of gas.

Ducks Dying
By Hundreds
Point Pleasant, N. J., Feb. 5.?
Throw another Uuck on tire tiro and "
keep out the winter cold.
That in wl^at former Mayor William
K. Blodgett bus been doing. Ho wrote
the United States'.Biological Survey
about it today, Baying tliut during the
?ecent cold wave-lie burned ducks?
broadbill ducks?In his furnace instead
of coal.
Broa'dbiU ducks have been dying
by the hundreds in llurn?gat Bay and
the river near here und Blodgett has
gathored the frozen bodies und used
them for fuel.
He thinks the government should
look Into the matter, not of ducks as
potential fuel, but of what makes them
die. Blodgett said the ducks were
dying because oil matted their feathers,
making it lmposible for them to
seek food or fly from' the cold.
Ducks get oil on their feathers when
they alight on waters around oil roflneries,
he said, and he thinks Uncle
Sum should keep either the ducks or
the oil off the waters in question.
