COMMENTS ON MKN AND THINGS (By Bp??ctMU>r) / Many leader* teem to have slight ' Knowledge of the principle of aeon- j omUts Four yeara ago we heard I of the dire threat to our productive ; manhood through what Waa called technocracy. We heard that all that had beeu waa out of joint and that t linen had eo greatly changed tuat we bad grown up lu these times aud under these conditions were ourselves like old broken down paits of au englue. We have a number of men who are always pointing out horrific dan* > gers and viewing with alarm something or other. 1 might say that we ( live in a day of headlines and wake ' up to the morning news fearful lest we be outmoded by our sleep. Years ago few men owned a fine carriage ami u handsome pair of horses. The value of dhat might easily be several thousand dollars. Today > any man driving the cheapest and ' oldest car in the road has more com-1 fort, more speed, more service than the proudest millionaire of fifty years ! ago with his carriage and pair. The cheapest car on the market, i 1 am Informed, would cost four times its present price If it were produced . specially for one man. 1 am aware > that it could not be produced at all,I perhaps, without the tools and machinery of today, but using the same machinery and material it would cost! four times the present price. How, then, do you account for so good an article for so cheap a price? Every j part used and the material for the ' making of that part is produced in 1 such quantity that not only will a small profit on each swell into a great sum for the total, but that very tact goes back to the purchase of materials. Economies of a hundred kinds result from the making of a million cars that could not be realized in making a hundred thousand cars, as-1 i auming maximum efficiency all the time. What is the result? The more tars made the cheaper the cost of making each car; so the lower the ( price. Now then as the price is re-, duced, so more will buy. As more buy the cost Is still further reduced? ; and so on, until you get to bed rock.! During the intermediate stages new inventions do away with hand labor. As machines put out nieu the article becomes cheaper; and as the article becomes cheaper more can buy; and as more can buy the price can be still cheaper. That creates demand for more men?and after a while a vastly greater number of men will work on this than ever were displac-, ed in it. If you Undertake to stabilize a con-; dition you block all progress. If au-j tomobiles had been stabilized at $2,- j UUo you and I might not have one. j Nothing can be stabilized; all prog-1 ress flows like water seeking it's lev- J el. | Our friends who advocate shorter" working hours in order to relieve unemployment are bad guessers unless they mean to reduce wages?and hu-j man nature is not so generous as that. Given any article, you will usually Hud that labor Is the heaviest item of cost. Now if more labor is used for the same article what must be the effect? The price will rise. If the price goes up what will bo the effect?, Fewer people will be uble ro buy it. If fewer people can buy it what will result?- Fewer articles will be mado. j And what will result from that? Few-! rr people will be employed or wages must be reduced. Therefore, as 1 see it, the idea of shorter hours tends ultimately against labor. 1 hear complaining about so much rain. Well that shows that the Lord himself cannot please us. Thut good crop of 1930 was due to the rains of the winter and spring, the floods, if you please, lots and lots of moisture, for wheat, oats, rye, vetch, barley and winter peas, and lots utore rain for the corn of next summer. -Take your blessings and ask the Lord to help you use them wisely. 1 respectfully suggest that the following bo given consideration by members wishing a rule to go by: Oppose any new tax. Oppose the Increase of any existing taxes. Oppose any new bond issues( except for refinancing at lower interest) Insist on a commission to propose a plan of government within the state so as to modernize the state, county and municipal governments and determine the status of our schools, whether they be state institutions or not. Repeal the five mill State Property tax. Work for the application of any current surplus to the existing state debts. If present rates are not reduced, then apply all surplus to support of the schools, repealing special district or county taxes pro rata by the same statute. Provide that state, county and other taxes may be paid by the month, the collecting officer to keep a special installment book for that purpose. Require all money paid by the state directly or Indirectly to be paid to Four SufferJfarni Frost-Bitten Feet | Pa* Vegas, Jfev., Jip. If,?rojir persons nursed frostbitten feet today, aL teriuath of a 7-day vigil In a blixtardtrapped motor car from which one of their party ventured to hie death. Mr. and Mre. Janice Poe, Mrs. Lee .Pretty roan and a/negro cook, Dorin Dunn, Buffered from shock and exposure. A rescue caravan brought them there from the Kelfy mine, 125 miles north of here, after a two-day battle through drifts so deep that automobiles had to be dragged across some mountain a l ope a by tractor. They also brought back the body of Fred Miller, 45, who froxe to death going for aid. The five left the Nevada Maryland mine to drive here. Their car stalled in snow. Miller set out for the mine twenty miles away? and never returned. Poe followed, qpeut the night In a cave, and the next day, on the verge of collapse staggered into the Kelly mine office. A truck from the mine reached the three women. They had existed seven days on a loaf of bread, three cans of corned beef and snow Miller's body was found in a drift. The rescue was headed by Lee Prettyinun, who left the mine several days ahead of his wife's party and was unable to return on a plane trip to the Kelly mine trying to contact the party, he learned by a message written in the snow that one had died. Were Joint Hostesses Lugoff, Jan. 19?Mrs. J. A. Rosborough and Miss Jamell Watts were joint hostesses in a party given for the recent bride, Mrs. Herman Watts, Tuesday afternon, at the home of Mrs. K. H. Watts. Thirty guests and relatives were present. Contests were enjoyed, the prizes being given to the honor guest. . The color scheme^eing pink and green, the bride's chair was marked with a pretty corsage of pink roses and green fern. Other vases had pink carnations and smilax. Late in the afternoon delightful refreshments were served. Then other friends of the couple dropped in to see the beautiful lot of miscellaneous gifts. the state treasurer and to be paid out by him in accordance with specific acts of the general assembly. For example, the fees of the colleges, all special revenue of the colleges, as fertilizer tax fees, the money allowed the schools, every dollar to be paid to and paid out by the treasurer and every bill, as required by the constitution. The speakership race has been settled by the election of Solomon Blatt. Now, gontlemen, let's get together for South Carolina. In this day of intelligence and in the face of grave problems our state should not be "pro" or "anti" Johnston; nor should the house of representatives be "pro" or "anti" Blatt. I*et us be South Carolinians, eager to promote the vital interests of the state. South Carolina has brains enough to solve her problems; and in the general assembly are men desirous of serving the state wisely. Let's use our brains more and our prejudices less. Mr. Blatt has begun well by putting himself above pettiness. He is a capable man and will prove one of the ablest speakers wo have had. I expect real, definite leadership from Mr. Blatt and congratulate not only Barnwell county but our state on having such excellent presiding officers as 4 Lieutenant Governor Harley and Speaker Blatt. I don't know now whether to move to Barnwell or Spartanburg in order to achieve political honors; but I must go and go soon to one or the other. The skeletons of sixteen persons, victims of the destruction of Pompeii, 79 A. D., were found in the ruins of Pompeii this week. Personal possessions of the long dead victims, were found scattered around them. Two passenger planes, carrying a total of twelve passengers, are reported as missing since Monday in the wild country near Minatitlan, Vera Cruz, Mexico. Hope of rescue has been Abandoned. Representative Vinson of Kentucky, has Introduced a bill in congress, by the terms of which all Federal taxes on tobacco and tobacco products would be cut 40 per cent. The'bill would cut the tax on cigarettes from $3 per thousand to $1.80. <i. i The Ella cotton mill, closed since July, 1935, at Shelby, N. C., is being put in operation again, and will give * work to 150 persons on two 40-hour shifts. Beware The Cough' From a common cold That Hangs On No matter how many medicines you have tried for your cough, chest cold or bronchial Irritation, you can get relief now with Creomulsion. Creomulaion not only contains the soothing elements common to many remedies; such as, Syrup of White Pine ComEsund with Tar, fluid extract of Icorice Root, fluid extract of Ipecac for its powerful phlegm loosening effect, fluid extract of Cascara for its mild laxative effect and, most Important of all, Beechwood Creosote Is perfectly blended with all of these to reach the source of the trouble from the inside. Creomulsion can be taken frequently and continuously by adults and children with remarkable results. ' Thousands of doctors use Creomulsion in their own families as well as in their practice knowing how Creomulsion aids nature to soothe the inflamed membranes and heal the trri tated tissues as the germ-laden phlegm Is loosened and expelled. Druggists also know the effectiveness of Beech wood Creosote and they rank Creomulsion top for coughs because you get a rea.1 dose of Creosote in Creomulsion, emulsified so that it is palatable, digestible and potent for going to the very seat of the trouble. Creomulslon is guaranteed satisfactory in the treatment of coughs, chest colds and bronchial irritations and especially those stubborn ones that start with a common cold and hang on for dreadful days and nights thereafter. Even if other remedies have failed, your druggist is authorized to guarantee Creomulslon and to refund every cent of your money if you are not satisfied with results from the very first bottle. Don't worry through another sleepless night?phone or go get a bottle of Creomulslon right now. (Adv.) Fertilizers and Farm Machinery RHAME BROS. Rutledge St. Camden, S. C.
