Midway Club NoUm The Midway Home Demonstration club held Its spring meeting on Frl duy, April ?, at the home of Mrs. Lena (.'aloe, with thirty membera and three visitors present. We were welcomed Into the living room which wan beau tlfully decorated. The uioetlflfc wan called to order by the president. The devotional waa given by Mm. U. h. Morton. Then the club repented the Lord's pruyer. The roll wae called and minutes read by the aocretary, Mra. H. C. McCoy. Each member answered the roll with their favorite flower. The prealdent then turned the meeting over to our county agent. Mlaa Margaret Fewell The club Hung "Believe Me, If All Those Endearing Young Charms." Miss Fewell talked to us concerning the county fair and the Kershaw County Council. Then she took up the subject for the month, "Decorative Objects and Pictures in the Home." She told us to be careful in selecting and arranging things In the living room. Also the color and to consider the different objects of decoration such as books, magazines, mirrors, flower containers, cushions, candlesticks, foot stools and many other things that are used to decorate the room. Also to be careful about balancing the mantel and the table; to be sure not to put a large container 011 one end und a small one on the other end Next, she talked 011 what kind of pictures were appropriate for each room of the homo. First, she took the pictures for the living room, such as landscapes, sea views, reproductions of famous portraits and other pictures that are attractive to the eye. Next came the bedroom, pictures of. the family, friends, views of trips, dogs, ships and other pictures of the like were suitable. Also pictures of fiowers of a cheerful color, garden scenes and bunting prints were appropriate tor the dining room. She then talked on grouping pictures to each" other and with the furniture. Also, that pictures should fit the space In which they were hung*, and many other things of interest and help to the home. We then had a flower arrangement contest The prize was won by Mrs. W. C. West. Then the hostess, assisted by her mother. Mrs. (J. S. Kodgers invited the club to the dining room where a beautiful table was spread with delicious food. The song of thanks was sung by all the club members, led b> Miss Fewell. Everyone enjoyed the evening with Joy and interest. OPEN TENNIS TOURNAMENT TO BE HELD AT KERSHAW!

A governor uml a United Hiatus senator, all the elective state officials, the represetitu lives In congress, the representatives , in the legislature and some atate senators. The people, the taxpayera will be the pampered and apoiled darlings of the aeekera ufter office. Verily the people will rule?until after the election, then we ahull huve the usual aurrender to .thoae who call for more and more public money. Do you think, can you imagine a speech like thia; "Fellow citizens. I will not do anything to reduce taxes; I don't want to add anything to your taxee, but I muat take care of this and that program and 1 muat vote more money for our institutions, morei pay for our officials, create more corn* miaaionH and other Jobs* I'd like to reduce your taxea, but I tell you now us man to man that my first duty is to our iiibt It ittfonh and programs and not to the taxpayers." Will anybody make a speech like that? Nay, nay,| my brother, there lives not the man who would tell you that. But how do the gentlemen act? Well, moat of them act Just as though they had made that sort of speech. If there is any man who Is the forgotten man It. la the taxpayer, he Is the fifth wheel to the wagon, the Inflamed vermiform appendix adhering to the body politic?and he feels as though gangrene hail "set in." It is a sad story. A citizen, voter and taxpayer writes suggesting that we publish the record of each member of the general assembly On every Important matter. I frankly don't favor that, strange as It may seem. If all our people were keenly interested in public uffairs I should favor publication of all votes But a few people, very few people, are really willing to participate In public affairs. If they vote?that "let's I them out." They cuss about the legisj lature and politics and politicians? I but they don't do anything about it. The organized minorities make sin h ja noise with a few bugles and drums that the legislature thinks an overwhelming army is approaching. The only chance to get anything done is to. get it done without publicity. Sounds bad, doesn't it? But its the truth. What's wrong with the legislature? Let's be serious. What sort of men compose it? What are the influences that motivate them? Disregarding the order of the questions, let us see: The legislature is a pretty fair sample of the people. There are some fine gentlemen in it who command my respectful regard? in both the senate and the house. There are some economists (take my word for It, whether appearances belle it or not), though they are so few fthat they have lost their courage and feel like strangers in a weary land. Then there are, some ambitious men, "seeking the bauble reputation" not ut the cannon's mouth, but at the spending end of the public purse. Then* there are some?the big majority?who have no plan, no program, who make no speeches, but vote, vote, vote-^overwholmed by the sentiment of the bold and vigorous few who have plans and purposes and resolves ?and whatnot. Some are ready of speech, like Aaron; while others, like Moses, are slow of speech. Now the resemblance stops right there, for though, like Aaron, some may watch the crowd how to the golden calf, 1 doubt if a Moses can be found, though the spirit of the general assembly tends strongly toward getting water front rocks. After all Is said and done, there may bo quite a bit of the Moses in the general assembly, for Moses led his crowd into the wilderness aud the crowd had to he fed on manna from heaven. It looks as though we were in the wilderness (or are we just in the air?) and any help that the taxpayers get will have to come ' fro in above. Charleston. Society Hill. Edgefield, i Chesterfield?are these our most productive places of genius? Charleston '?well. Charleston is Charleston?and | has been all these years.

I have devoted many hours to a study of economics, but I dou't understand the reasoning of some of our preaent-day experts. In the general assembly of our state moat of the members are either convinced that we are prosperous today ?or that it doesn't matter whether we are prosperous or not. The fact of a tax delinquency of at least twenty-seven million dollars (state, coun-1 ty, school district and municipal taxes unpaid to date); together with an! enormous mortgage debt to the Feder-! a I lending agencies on real and per-j sonal property does not impress them; J nor the fact that congress is being1 besieged by the mayors of the big I cities to appropriate at least two billions for relief for next year carry any lesson. In part the general confusion is intensified by the national government Itself. It strove hard and valiantly to raise commodity prices to the 1926 level. It has not reached that level yet. 13ut the 1926 level was on the gold staudard. We have not reached the 1926 level, even on the standard of a dollar worth sixty-five cents, yet the government now talks against high prices and precipitates a sharp reaction, or reduction in prices. If there are seven million people unemployed the great problem is to absorb at least half of them In Industry. Industry can only absorb them if Industry thrives. Whenever industry thrives prices go up. Now how is industry to thrive and absorb the idle with low demand? One of the strongest reasons for higher prices Is highel wages. Shall the wages be reduced? If not, then just what are we driving at? What makes the appropriation bill so high? Well, sometimes its like tills: ] he national research council toi improving bedbugs tells some man or woman that lie or she has been chosen as chairman of the South Carolina chapter of this council and should put on a drive at once. Straightway, Honorable X, with live or six earnest associates, asks for an initial appropriation of $ 10,000 so as to have a Seci etar\, postage and stationery allowance. office, telephone, association fees and expenses to the annual convention in Miami, Florida, in February and liar Harbor, Maine, in July. The second year, much progress having been made, and it being proved that Georgia is overrun with bedbugs, which are mobilizing on the banks of the Savannah river, fifty thousand dollars is asked, with privilege of supplementary funds from the Contingent Fund of the state. The third year we, having become bug minded, If not actually "buggy," see bedbugs as the great enemy which is sapping the vitality of the children and costing us hundreds of millions in anaemic citizens. Then we get into the bug business in a big way, setting aside one' half the tax on chewing gum as a perpetual bug fund. l? nine some memhers become "buggy." Uiat ia> they think, talk and dream bugs on all occasions. So that's how it is. Contemplate our an commission. What reason was tlu-re tor it? Yet there it is.
