NO Liquor Advertisements accepted ^t any price. Friday, October 8, 1937 ~ FOR TILLMAN MEMORIAL As the public generally knows, syvoral years ago when lion. John 0. Richards was governor, the general assembly appropriated the stpn of $10,000 for the erection Of a monument on the state house grounds atl Columbia to the late R. 11. Tillman, this sum to be available when an additional $10,000 should be donated by the people of South Carolluu. A Tillman Memorial Commission was formed and started to work to raise the $10,000 but the depression came along about that time and the work stopped. Some months ago the commission again became active, with Governor Richards at Its head. Vacancies a monK the county chairmen were filled and the commissions set about the work of raising the $10,000, and It Is to be hoped and expected that the drive may be completed and the full amount rulsed by NovemboY 11?Armistice Day. Kershaw County's Quota Is not large and we should have little trouble In rulslng more than our share. No South Carolinian during the past sixty years has left the Impress upon his stuto that I3en Tillman has. The many noteworthy reforms that he brought about In our state government are too numerous to enumerate here. I might mention that through his efforts, more than those of any other person, the primary was t'stabllshed In South Carolina and the average person given the opportunity to have a voice and vote In the selection of our governmental offices? something that they had never had before. A farmer himself, he proved a veritable Moses in leading the far- ^ iners of this state out of the wilderness. To hid statesmanship, his vis- j Ion, his great abilities and bis untiring efforts, we ure indebted tor ^ two of the greutest educational lnstitutions in this country today, namely, W.inthrop College and Clemson College. Those are enduring monuments to his greatuoss, but 1 am sure thai a grateful people want to honor his memory?fcry the erection of a fitting monument to him on the grounds of 1 the state capitol. 1 wish that every patriotic man and ^ woman la Kershaw county could give ( something. I know that hundreds , will want to give who can't give j much. Any amount given will be gratefully received and promptly , acknowledged, and the Commission's { receipt therefor will be furnished. I j trust that It may not be necessary to f make an intensive canvass of the ( county to raise Its small quota, but j that all who desire to give will for- , ward their contributions to me | promptly. I hope. too. that every t Wiuthrup daughter and every Clem- | >?on son in the county will interest , themselves in this cause ami get us , many contributions as possible in t addition ! > ? out nbuting as generously a.- :h. > ?an Ile-iuselv1 Within the to \t ten da> s I hope top I;.,.. ::: t tt.g of tl.v,-.- niiei- , j in thi.-> ne>\, nun:. uotUe of w tilth Will be duly g:\-n In Cue a.ear.: line. I trust that those who arc l.".t< : ested will be good enough to get ni (.hi, h w ith me and give me the benefit of any suggestions they may have, at the same time making their . ontributions. Governor Richards, the state chairman of the Commission has headed the list of contributors in the county with a contribution of tea dollars die had already given -ome before and is giving a lot of his time to the campaign.) Kershaw county cannot fall.. I know it will uot fall. We should, and will, delight to honor the memory of Benjamin Ryan Tillman. Murdoch M. nson Kershaw County Chairman, Tillman M.-morial Commission. ; LET'S "DRAP" IT The sanest and most sensible suggestion about the Kl&n-Rlack business comes from The Monroe Journal, R F Beasley. editor. Says Mr. Bease1 p y : ' This whole court controversy and the charge that Judge Black once belonged to the Ku Klux Klan ought to be settled in thp way that Union county church conference once set-] tied the charge against a brother for making apple brandy. Way back yonder wbrtn the sons and daughters of temperance were very active and thinking that a Baptist deacon or a Preabyterian elder ought to be churched for making a little brandy, a good old brother was reported to the church conference on account of his activities la that direction The con fereuce assembled end the brother wtye ttikod If ho had b?cu bcIIIbS apylo brandy. All around hliu aat bis neighbors and brethren lu the church. The old brother was quit* ineek about It. He said yea, It wa? true that he had let aome persons have aoino branthe n#mea of aevoral of thoae prosMot aid stftt#4 how much he had let each have. And,' said he lQ conclusion, addressing the preacher who was lu the chair, 'you remember, brother moderator. I let you have u gallon,' Whereupon u deep silence fell upou the conference und the moderator asked whut should be done about the charge. 'I move wo drup It,' said one of the brethren, and that wus the laat of the case." There seems, uftor all, nothing that can be done. Mr. Black can not be forced to resign, except In caae of mulfeasanco or by impeachment. No one Is going to bring any snob charges. The President Is in far oft Washington and British Columbia and, doubtless, glad of It. When he returns. Justice Black will have taken his seat on the Supreme Court, aud the hist hullabaloo will huvu died down. All of which has probably been planned by the President. He hopes that the matter can bo "drapped" as easily and quietly as Brother Beusoley'H Union county controversy was shelved?OaBtonia (N. C.) Gazette. BLACK BURIE8 HIS 8NIPER8 We will await, with Indifference, the further plans of the snivelers and tom tit politicians In this Blaok-Klan hullabaloo. It was the most raging tempest In the measliest teapot we have ever known. It turned out Just about as we expected. Ho honestly and candidly admitted that he was once a member of the organization, but resigned before accepting high office. It would be Interesting for others to o\fn up about membership or endorsement or worse aggregations thnn that of the Klan. A few, in the past, were run out of the country. In still others far better than the Klan, desperate efforts were made to exterminate them. We have no doubt about Masonry being the cleanest secret order, and more nearly a religious fraternity, than any In existence. Yet in 1828 there was an anti-Masonic party that tried hard to defeat "old Hickory, Andrew Jackson, for the presidency, ind to kill Masonry. It was a "fluke", just as this punctured balloon that tried to waft Judge Black out of of[)Ct,?Calhoun Times. A MI8TAKEN NEWSPAPER Via the editorial columns of the News aud Courier we readaJL-amaz--lug quotation from The New York Times. The Times, according to this quota- , tlon, says that "for years and years , southern newspaiyers have asked southern farmers to put all their lopes In one crop." This Is one of the worst libels the metropolitan press has ever published tg&inst the southern newspapers; ind it seems altogether Inexcusable, ilnce any editor or editorial writer >f these New York newspapers should iave been Informed about the crop-dlversification programs which have yeen almost religiously urged for almost the last generation by agriculural agents and the newspapers generally 111 the south as a means of <ettlug awav from the one-crop sys:em Tliis comment by The Times simply betrays an ignorance of southern conlitmus and the attitude of the southern press for which it is difficult to find an excuse for a newspaper of such national standing us The New York Times, it certainly would seem that such a newspaper would have the facilities and the will to be better Informed. The Times purports to be a national newspaper, with an understanding of conditions about which It wrlteB. BUt in this comment It Ib woefully lacking In understanding of conditions In the south. And we must say there la no excuse for Its lack of understanding. for even the most casual consideration of the attitude of southern newspapers over the last two decades would have given It a far more accurate Idea of the view of the southern press.?The GreenviU* News. REGISTRATION OF THE BLIND In compliance with the Public Welfare law, passed at the last session of the legislature, a complete registration of the blind In South Carolina Is now In the process of comptl| atlon by the State Department of Public Welfare, Columbia. S. C. Thomas H. Daniel, director, state department of Public Welfare, and Walter F. Going, chairman of the South Carolina Advisory Council for the Blind, urge that the names and addresses of each and every blind and partially blind person, white or colored, adult or child, In Kershaw county, bo forwarded as promptly as possible to* Mrs. Anne B. Owlngs.l chief of the division for the blind. South Carolina Department of Welfare It is necessary for the council to have a complete registration of all blind persons In the state In order that constructive planH may be formulated for Bight conservation, treatment and placement in industry of blind persona, or persons with ser lously defected vision. The Rehabilitation and Prevention program for the blind is a new one, made possible by state appropriations, and is unmatched by federal funds. The registration will facilitate the establishment of clinics, workshops, training centers, etc., in various counties in which the greatest number of blind persons may be found. Cooperation of every one concerned in human welfare Is requested In the registration of this group of society, which is admittedly the most handicapped of any group. Assistance rendered to it is undeniably worthwhile, and a paying Investment in human Independence on the part of those participating. Wben aided toward self-eupport, the blind automatically develop an independence which will become an economic and social asset to our great state. nMMBaaavaqnMMBrenMMaflBBBunaQKv Dog Show to Be a Feature at The Fair Surpassing any event of Jta kind ever held lu this section will be the dog allow to he held lu Caradeu In connection with the Kerahaw County Kulr, on Wednesday, October 13. at 3 o'clock, when canines from all over the atate, and possibly from other points, will ooinpete In ull atandarda of excellence.
