sorry that Miss Fewell could not be
with them, but they are looking forward

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

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,

total of twelve passengers, are reported
as missing since Monday in the

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

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.)
