Charleston Opens Ancient Theatre Charleston, Nov. 26.?More than 500 flrst-nlghters, including scores of prominent public officials, packed the small auditorium and the gallery boxes of the reconstructed Dock Street Theatre tonight and applauded the presentation of Charleston's Ijfttle Theatre group of "The Recruiting Officer," the same flve-act play which was producted at the formal opening of the theatre in 1736. Harry L. Hopkins, Works Progress Adn^lnstrator, formally presented the thoatre and the companion Planters Hotel to the city a few minutes before Edward L. Worthlngton, who had the title role of Captain Plume, recited tho apodal prologue written by DuUoso Heyward, Charleston author. Mayor Hurnet R. Maybank introduced Mr. Hopkins and received from , him the key to the theatre. The theatre, one of tho city's most historic landmarks, was restorod by the Federal Government at a cost of 3350,000. Mombers of the Charleston String Symphony were in lacy colonial dress, forming a picture of eighteenth century society. The Society for the Preservation of Spirituals, which had a part in the program, was similarly attired. IrlHh potatoes are stems and sweet potatoes are roots.

The University of Pittsburgh "Panthers" defeated the "Blue Devils" of Duke University at Durham, N. C., in a football game witnessed by 40,000 fans, by a score of 10 to 0. COMMENT8 ON MEN AND THING? I . (By Spectator) Business is 6.6 per cent below th'e r or cms time last year and 16.6 per cent below September of this year. For the week ending November 6, railroad car loadings were 39,610 below those of the same period last year. This is the fifth consecutive week of declining freight. These things are happening while our Institutions are asking for more of the taxpayer's money. A policy of prudence would be to reduce every appropriation at least fifteen per cent, making this effective today. Why wait for disaster? Don't we ever learn anything? Congressman Richards is quoted as saying that if the Wage-Hour bill would be against the south he would oppose it. The Springfield Republican, published in Springfield, Mass., carries a dispatch from Washington under the date of November 14, saying: "Two measures for consideration at the special session of congress will pit New Knglanders against Southerners. In the house, New Eng-? land Democrats declared they would attempt to have the Federal Wage and Hour bill passed; and in the senate the Ami-lynching bill will havu New Englanders' support. The twelve Democrats from Massachuaelts, Rhode Island and Connecticut favorirniftediate passage of a Wage-Hour bill which was blocked at the last session by the rules committee." Representatives of northern mills have oalled on northern congressmen to support the Wage-Hour bill as a part of the fight on the industries of the south; and as a part of the campaign to defeat the efforts of the south to attract new industries to the Southern states. What kind of political company is Congressman Richards keeping? Is he working to build up South Carolina, or is he working for the New England states? Much has been said about the looseness of our county government in South Carolina. Senator Henry R. Sims, of Orangeburg, a studious, thoughtful man, has made Borne pertinent comments on conditions. Much of the criticism of county government strikes me as Just a habit. Where is tho trouble, or what is it? Is county government extravagant? Well, take a look at the state government before you answer. Is municipal gov-' ernment economical? Well, is the national government economical? The truth is that we Americans bore with a large auger and talk about econorpy only as a subject of conversation. We don't do anything about it and we don't mean to do anything about it. Senator Sims thinks a county [should have a "head." a general manager. Why? Has the state a "head," a general manager? No, Indeed! The governor of South Carolina, though "tho supreme executive authority," hasn't much more authority than the mayor of Cayce. The legislature has shorn him of everything but the authority to travel about and make speeches. Even the authority conferred on the governor by the Constitution has ben taken from him as surely as Samson was weakened by the cutting of hia curls. Do we want to deal with auditors and treasurers? Well, the state pays two-thlrdP of tholr salaries and the governor appoints them?after hearing what we say in the"primaries. Why a head for the county? Would ! he direct and control the sheriff, or ' the supervisor, or the clerk of court, or whom ? I do not oppose reorganizing the counties, or eliminating them entirely. | just wonder if some of the criticism la too general to be;, helpful. Of course we might simplify many things Without removing county lines, but changes to be worth anything should be constructively helpful, not r merely changes In name, i The evils to the county?if evfla , are there?are dee te the eritsei else its will in the name of the gen- j eral assembly. That is exactly what' happens, the delegation from Greenville will alow the delegation from Charleston to pass any law for Charleston because the Charleston dele- ( gation will alow the Greenville dele- j gation to pass Just anything for J Greenville. These county bills and ( county laws are sometimes passed ' when there is not a corporal's guard ; present. But it is all done in the name of the general assembly aud feigned by the governor. <X course that is not only unconstitutional, but York can do exactly as it pleases, in Columbia, in the name of the general assembly, why not let it sit in the court house in York and legislate, in the presence of the citizens of York? Senator Sims probably knows that the Constitution, as it is today, permits the general assembly to clothe a county board with certain legislative powers, among them the power to fix the county tax levy. (Constitution of South Carolina, Article 10, Section 5). It would be interesting if Mr. Sims would introduce a state-' wide bill empowering county boards to legislate in public sessions at stat-^ <d Intervals, limiting their tax-levying to one meeting, advertised for that purpose. Then if the state-wide measure aeeihed likely to die on the calendar Mr. Sims might put it through for Orangeburg county and. so set an example. John L. Lewis is said to insist that the Wages and Hours bill "should be passed immediately to protect the workers against the encroaching business recession." "God save me from my friends; I can watch my enemies myself," said somebody. 1 think he, was right. If a business recedes, or falls off, will the employees be pro , fited by a wage higher than the com- j pany can afford to pay? Certainly, not; they will be dropped; the con-' tern will shut down. There is a lot of muddy thinking about wages. Wages are paid from I profits. If there are not sufficient, profits how long can any business pay wages? When times are dull I'm ready to i do away with pies and cakes and j settle down to plain, plain rations. i So are we, all. Why is congress trying pass an Iantl-lynching bill? What has the national government to do with crimes committed within our state except certain offenses within the Constitutional powers of the nation? The bright lawyers who framed this bill must have figured It out that all men who aro lynched would have run to another state and that the lynching obstructed Inter-State Commerce! Wo are Democrats,' but this antilynching bill is sponsored by Northcm Democrats and, if passed, will be a law with the Democrats in full power! Nothing like being sold otK by your friends and kindred, eh? *r . - - - ? , The 8tate Welfare board asks for two million, one hundred thirty-five thousand, eight hundred twenty-five dollars for the next fiscal year. That is Shout six hnndred thnnsand dollars more thna for this prilMt year. Spectator frequently said last year that this would ooet between two mBmmmSm cost about $800,000. Well, we have Just started. ,! Raises, raises, increases, increases, as our institutions, boards and others'! come before the Budget Commlsion. All want more. And in the meantime just look at what has happened to the business of the country! Verily we *have lived in a fool's paradise for several years and only disaster can teach us anything. , So the state fair society wants sev- : en thousand, five hundred dollars from?the -state.?Why, pray?- If the ~ state fair is not earning a profit we ! may well suggest that it needs overhauling. Spectator does not presume to say much about a purely private enterprise, but beyond a doubt five or six business men could be found to take over the fair, paying for the privilege. So why ask money from the state? ' Well, now, here's something about the cotton crop this year: American crop 18,243,000 bales; foreign crop 20,000,000 bales; world carry-over from last year 13,000,000 bales; total cotton available this year 51,000,000 bal^Fi?world consumption for l5f36T~ 30,000,000 bales.
