A PLEA FOR TOLERANCE
"The shouting and the tumult dies."
South Carolina's biennial primary
1 h over and all of um may now Mettle
down for a while to eouelder other
matters. In fact the people generally
were not itpparently nearly mo inter*
e?ted thin year as they have been in
punt year?, if the vote in thi? county
may be taken as a criterion. About
3,500 of enrolled voterw failed to vote.
We are not prepared to nay how
those who absented themselves lelt
toward the Governor in his ilgbt
against the State Highway Department,
but wo do know that they
did not go to the trouble of registering
their feelings at the ballot box. |
We know too that many of I hone who
did vote, and who voted for lcglslattve
candidates who had voiced approval
of the Governor's cour?e, do
not fuvor the Governor. There are
many fine people In Kershaw county
who are Htrongly agaltiHt the State
Highway Department as now const!tuted
and Htrongly behind the governor.
With them we have no quarrel.
Hut nlnce the battle Ih over, in ho far
uh the voterH are concerned, we do
humbly suggest that a little more tolerance
might be shown to thoHo who
may have differed with them. The
votors of Barnwell county, who routed
th? Johnnton candldatea by a vote
of five to one; those In Damberg
county who cauHed to be left at the
post the Governor's Hell Weather,
Senator Folk; the electorate In Spar/
tunburg county wtyo snowed under
the Johnston candidates; those In
Georgetown county who reelected Dr.
Olln Sawyer, arch foe of the Governor;
tho largo majority In Marlboro
county who returned Neville Henuett
to the House; the citizens of Aiken
county who reelected Senator John
Williams; the voters in Chorokee,
Charleston, Orangeburg, Colleton,
Horkely, and a number of other counties
giving majorities to tho autlJohnstonltes,
are not crooks and foolB.
The rank and file of them were JuBt
uh honest and sincere as any Johnston
supporter. Thousands of them
are poor people, but being poor, are
Just as much entitled to their opinions
as any one else. Wo mention
tiiis merely to suggest that almost invariably
there are two sides to questions,
and it Is seldom that one finds
all the wrong or all the right on one
side. Wo are satisfied that the great
majority of the followers of Governor
Johnston in this county have been
thoroughly honest in their convictions,
but we are afraid that some mighty
good people have shut their minds to
any reasoning that might have been
offered from the other side. Good
people have been too ready to accuse
those who havo differed with them of
crookedness aud self-seeking, many
times when the very man they would
hang in effigy has labored and fought
unselfishly in their interest.
We have hoard it said and seen It
publishod time after time that the
present Highway Commission law is
almost identical with a bill introduced
by Governor Johnston when he
was a member of the General Assembly.
This law does guarantee to Kershaw
county one of the Highway Commissioners
half of the time, whereas
under the Governor's proposal it is
doubtful if we would ever havo a
Highway Commissioner, as most of
the votes in this Congressional District
ure in York. Cherokee and Chester
counties. It will be remembered
to<f, that the governor in his inaugural
address and throughout the 1935
session of the general assembly demanded
the right to appoint the commissioners,
whereas in 1936, he proclaimed
the right of the people to
elect them. Also when the governor
was a member of the house of representatives
from Spartanburg county,
und when he was a member of the
house from Anderson county, no one
ever heard him raise a hue and cry
for the election of the members of
our Judiciary by direct vote of the
people. But now when our supreme
court and some of our circuit Judges
have been compelled to hold against
him, because the law and the facts
were agninst him, he wants these
wearers of tho ermine to be thrown
out into the hustings, and the offices
requiring the highest degree of legal
learning and ability to fill, to be made
political footballs of. We are perfectly
satisfied that most of the good people
of South Carolina do not want j
our circuit Judges and members of
our supreme court to have to go around
poltticing and slinging billingsgate
and being forced Into the chicanery
common to politicians. South
Carolina's Judges are ranked among
the best bud ablest in this country.
The average man (not because of a
leek of intelligence, but becauee he
doeen't give theee matters ooost deration)
Islta't kamw and reeeet gtre
- -----
the names of half of the supreme
court or circuit Judges of South Carolina.
The popular election of Judges
has been n failure wherever tried.
Ilen Tillman, South Carolina's great
commoner, and friend of the people,
who rested our state government from
the hands of the few, never one time
suggested that our Judiciary be elocted
by a direct vote. We hope that
the time may never come In this
stato when the passions of our people
may be so Inflamed that such an
order may be Instituted. The state
has sufferod much and is yet suffering
much, because of the doings of
petty politicians who have been swept
In office on waves of hate and prejudice,
engendered by themselves or by
others upon whose coat tails they
clung..
We hope that the next two years
may be peaceful years for our people,
that tho turmoil through which we
have been passing may cease; that
the highway controversy may be forgotten
and that our governor and our
goneral assembly may be able to addross
themselves to the task of making
a better state In which to live,
both for ourselves and our posterity,
and to this end wo beg of the people
that they be sympathetic and considerate.
If the Ideas of some of the
newly elected members of the general
asnembly should undergo a change after
they have gotten a better Insight
Into our governmental affairs, we
hope that they will have the courage
to admit any mistakes they have
made and to follow the dictates of
their conscience. It Is a serious mistake
for a candidate for legislative
honors to declare himself one hundred
per cent behind any governor no
matter what he might do, but we are
counting on the inherent honesty of
our legislators to do that which la
right, siiscttng fee their lights

' SENATOR UDE RETURNS
? (Marlon BU?r)
When the Democrat! of Marion

the auggeatlon of Governor Olln D.
Johnston and renominated State Senator
L, D. Lide on the first ballot,
over two opponent!, both of whom
were Johnston adherent!, it waa a

Senator Lide defeated two good

he wilfully and deliberately attacked
Mr. Lide, without Jurladlctlon, and
with little regard for true facta and

EXCHANGE CLUB NOTES
Miss Sarah Crawford, director of
I Public Welfare for Kershaw county,
j was the guest speaker at thiB week's
I luncheon. She delivered an enllghtI
ening address on the Social Security
I Act, passed at the last session of the
I Generul Assembly, and urged that all
I voters vote for the Congressional
amendment which is required to put
I this Act into effect. This CongressI
ional amendment will be voted on
at the general election in November.
1 She explained clearly and conciseI
ly the provisions for old age pensions
land unemployment insurance, and 11I
lustrated in a forceful way the necesI
slty for social socurity in South CaroI
lina. Many states have already adoptI
ed similar measures. The Federal
I government assists in carrying out
the program in a financial and supervisory
way. The aim of the legislation
is to insure people against want
and privation when they become too
lold to work, or become physically inI
capacitated, or are without a Job
through no fault of their own. It is
a big step forward, she explained,
for the protection of all the people.
| The meeting was well attended.

of Waterbury, Conn., has announced
a 6 per cent increase of pay

CARGOES OF NEW WORLD GOLD
Were Onee Landed at Cadiz, One of
Spain'a Main Seaporta.
In the harbor of Cadiz, where treas
ure galleons once rode at anchor and
Hir Franc la Drake "pinged the King
of Spain's Heard" and in a daring raid
In 1 &87, naval gun* have been reported
boombing again recently in
the Bpaniah civil war.
Cadiz, city or dazzling-whlte house*
aliuoat aurrounded by the blue water
of it* magnificent harbor, haa seen
ship* and prosperity come and go
aiuce the day* of the ancient Phoenlcclans,
says a bulletin from the Washington,
D. C., headquarters of the National
Geographic Society. <*
"Today, perched on the rocky end
of a narrow sandy spit projecting five
miles out Into the Atlantic ocean,
Just north of tjie Strait of Gibraltar,
It dream* of the vanished glories of
other days. Outshone by other seaport*
now, Cadiz is estimated to have
been richer than Ixmdon when Spain's
colonic* In the New World were pouring
wealth across the Atlantic to the
mother country.
For a time Cadiz enjoyed a monopoly
of the trade with the Spanish
colonic*, and gold and silver worth
$25,000,000, wa* unloaded every year
on It* bustling dock*. But the revolt
of the coloules In the early 19th century,
struck a heavy blow at Cadiz,
and the lo** of Cuba and Puerto Rico
In the Spanish-American war, brought
It* trade to a still lower ebb.
With 75,000 people, a little smaller
I than Harri*burg, Pennsylvania, Cadiz
must get its drinking water from a
supply brought by a 30-mile-long
aqueduct, augmented by rain collected
on the flat roofs of its Moorish style
houses. Only one fresh water spring
exists within the city, and it bubbles
up beneath the high altar of the old
cathedral, finished In the year 1284.
Defended by strong walls on the sea
front, and with only a single land gate
opening on the narrow isthmus, Cadiz
in the days of its glory was a tempting
prize but a hard nut to crack.
Barbary corsairs attacked it many
times, only to be beaten off. An English
attack In 1596 was more successful,
and the rich city was sacked, but
Cadiz rose again to Its old preeminence.
For a time, when Napoleon's armies
were sweeping Europe, Cadiz became
the capital of what little of Spain had
not been annexed by the French.
Cadiz today has a fortress, a naval
arsenal and radio station.' Prominent
on the skyline are the yellow dome of
the new cathedral, finished about
1832, and the high watch tower in the
center of the city from which all arriving
and departing ships are signaled.
Wine, olives, figs, salt, cork, and
salt fish, In their barrels, boxes, bags,
and bales, are the chief products that
pass across Cadiz wharves to the outside
world.
TOURI8T8 PACK EUROPE
Hardy American tourists have demonstrated
this summer that strikes
and fights hold few terrors for th6m.
Showing a fine disdain for Europe's
troubles in general, more tourists sailed
across the North Atlantic from
America this year than at any time
since the fabulous year of 1929. There
were 189,901 who crossed from January
1 to July 18 this year, while in
the same period of 1935 there were
I only 161,626.
| Travel companies, unanimously de|
daring this to be the best since the
stock market crash some years back,
expect the rush to continue through
the month of September.
The upturn in numbers, after six
dull yoars, brought changes in the
tourists and their habits. In Paris
they turned away from the old haunts
to the very places where trouble
might be brewing. They deserted the
cafes of the boulevards for the sidewalk
terraces on smaller streets
where political demonstrations and police
have clashed.
Many stayed at more expensive hotels,
took costlier tours, and traveled
one class higher than in previous
years. As usual, however, the favorite
Paris theater was the Follies
Bergere, and the most familiar sightseeing
centers were the same?Notre
Dame, the I.?ouvre, Montmorte, and
Montparnasse.
Hotels reported they had some, but
not many cancelations despite the occupation
strikes for the two days In
June when guests had to make their
own beds, ran thotr own elevators,
and generally tend to their own needs.
In the French chamber of deputies
Charles Splnasse, minister of national
economy, answered a charge that
France's tourist traffic had fallen off
from 12,000,000,000 francs in 1927 to
less than 2,000,000,000 francs In 1935
by stating that this year the number
^ of foreign tourists coming to France
was as much as 40 per cent, higher
than last year, which was a good season.

HEALTH OF SCHOOL CHILDREN
( By P. D. Urooker, I>. D. 8.)
"Tooth doc-ay" among school children
can and muat bo prevented aud
controlled. This Is not only the problem
of your State Hoard of Health;
the Dental Profession and the newspaper
which brings you this message,
but the responsibility rests primarily
upon those who are the parents or
teachers of ciilldren and all of those
who have the supervision of their
training and health.
This problem reaches the peak of
Us importance on the eye of the opening
of the school term. It Is very essential
for the adequate protection of
community health that school children's
mouths shall not be a breeding
ground tor the germs of infectious
and contagious diseases nor should
a mouth In which there are decayed,
rotting and abscessed teeth be permitted
to Interfere with a child's
growth, development and mental and
physical efficiency in school work.
In class children will be brought
Into close association at work and at
play. They will handle many objects
in common, in,- many instances will
drink from unsterillzed glasses or
cups and go to lunch rooms without
udequate. facilities for thoroughly
washing their hands. Children are
very prone to transfer germs of disease
to the Hps by putting their
hands into or about their mouths. It
is in this way that most of the'Contaglpus
diseases are spread.
It is definitely certain that in every
classroom under the present conditions
of the neglect of this problem
that there will be many children In
various stages of the disease of dental
carles ("tooth decay") and these
will harbor millions of germs of diseases.
These are readily transferred
to companions and the poisonous products
of bacterial activity will slowly
sap the health and vitality of such a
child. There will be many other children
In which the dally home cleaning
of the mouth will be Indifferently
performed or wholly neglected. Under
these conditions there cannot be
a satisfactory control of either individual
health or of contagious diseases.
It Is all the more deplorable, that a
great many children must now lose
their teeth In order to protect their
health and go toothless for a number
of years. More than fifty per cent
of children under present conditions
will lose one or more of the sixthyear
molar, the most important of all
the teeth, before they are eleven
years of age. The premature loss of
children's teeth will transform many
beautiful young faces Into caricatures
of what they might have become In
beauty and symetry in later years.
Take the children to the dentist
now in order to save all teeth not already
hopeless and start the younger
ones from two to six upon a regular
routine of having the dentist eliminate
all defects which are the principle
cause of about 80 per cent of the
carles now present in the older children.
Then a regular routine of dally
cleansing with toothbrush and a good
dentifrice will serve greatly to reduce
the Insanitary condition of the mouth
and itB danger as a factor in contagious
disease.

FORE8T8 SEEN AS BA8IC SOURCE
OF NATION'8 POWER IN FUTURE"
The forests of America are a basic
source of power, and a continuing
source that can be maintained when
the world's supplies of coal, oil and
gas are depleted, according to a booklet,
"Here Are Forests," prepared by
the Forest Service, U. 8. Department
of Agriculture, for distribution today
to delegates to the Thifft World Power
conference, now meeting at Washington,
D. C.
The forests are cited as sources of
water power suitable for the generation
of electric power, and of wood
which may be resolved by chemical
treatment into a variety of power producing
fuels.
"The only limit to the power to be
derived from our 660 million acres of
forest land is their ability to grow
trees," the booklet states. "To create
an inexhaustible supply of fuel is the
direct part forests can play in the production
of power.
"Their indirect, indispensable part
Is a service function; they act like
the throttle of an automobile; they
are part of the mechanism to even
up the flow of streams from which
hydroelectricity is produced; they can
balk the attempt of the water to run
too fast downhill."
"Here Are Forest" tells the story
of the management of 170 million
acres of national forests by the Federal
government so that maintenance
of tree and plant cover can prevent
excess erosion and subsequent runoff
of silt which clogs and fills the reservoirs
xot hydroelectric plants. Maintenance
of this forest cover also conserves
moisture and thereby aids in
stabilizing the amount and rapidity of
the flow from the watersheds.
The booklet sketches the result of
the spoliation of much of America's
forest land in the past, and details
the efforts of the Forest Service to
produce a maximum, permanent supply
of forest resources without tapping
the capital stock of growing
trees. To do this, the Forest Service
explains, forest fires must be controlled,
devastated areas must be reforested,
forests must be protected from insects
and diseases. Along with this
protection and development work a
program is followed which allows the
forests to provide grazing lands for
livestock, shelter for wildlife and public
recreational opportunities. Such a
balanced management program automatically
insures a perpetual source r
of water supply as basic power and
source as well as a permanent supply
of wood products as a source of
fuel.
Distribution of "Here Are Forests"
to the World Power Conference is
part of the Forest Service's contribution
to a discussion of national and
regional planning and their relation
to the conservation of natural resources.
