No I.htuor Advertisements accepted at any price Friday, May 27, 1938 A CHALLENGE TO SOUTH CAROLINA Hcruuso Senator lOUison I) Smith, of South Carolina, for nearly thirty yours a member of the upper chamber of Congress, has done IiIh duty during the Roosuvolt administration as he saw It. the White House haH showt rod lis blessings upon Governor Olin Johnston uitd bade him go forth as a cruauding New Dealer In his State and retire this veteran public servant from his post. At any rate, that la the impreaaion which Coventor Johnston desires that the public receive from his statement announcing his cundldacy. Hardly waiting until no could get to the newspaper reporters after visiting the President Governor Johnston stated that "1 huve just had a very pleasant conference with President Roosevelt at the White llouye on whose Invitation I came to Washington to dlst uss the political situation In South Carolina my camuuIku for the Senate will be based on a record of constant unshakeable loyalty to the Democratic platform and the head or our party, President Roosevelt." Two and two still make four. He visited the President who had invited li i in to discuss the political situation in South Carolina, the President wished Senator Smith to he beaten, the President placed Ills approval upon the Governors aiiihilion to i en for the Senate and the President sent him out to make the race with the benedictions of the White House upon his lo ad Well, there is this about tile matter thus early tin* frankness of the gent lemen is?admirable ! The voters of South Carolina are not leTl in the dark as to the issues. The President wants Senator Smith out <>I the Senate and Governor Joluiston in. Senator Smith has been with the President practically all the way, but tb'pai t>i tin* Nt w 1 i**ai coutse oil the wages-hours bill and the antl-lyuching bill, the latter largely inspired by the bailers of Hie negro vole in tlio President's own state of New York. This was more tlifffl the White House can tolerate of a Southern Senator, especially. Senator Smith opposed the wagehours hill because he argued that this measure would only increase the advantages Northern and Custom textile inanutaeturers and workers already hold over Southern textile manulacl urers and workers; because it would redound to the costly detiinieul| ,,j ijjo farmers of South Carolina and. of tile South, because it would place burdens upon industry which, would, further restrict and curtail operations, and only produce tlo-rehy moi e textile unemployment; because, instead of helping the textile operatives. it would more likely kili the goose that now lays lor theiil vvhat-j ever sort ul economic egg they pus-! sess. His position on this question is the position of Intelligent and patriotic citizens of thJ^jouth g'-nei tidy It if probable, now cv ei, that It was the hostile altitude of Senator Smith j to the President ially - favored ui.tilynching hill which bioke tin- back of the patience of the \N lute House ; with him. The Senator's straight-lac ?-d and invincibio loy alty to the tlc-iuoci >a y of his State and of the South in voting against this measure followed by the President and designed to capture the negro v'otes of New York and other Hastern States for the New: Deal was ins unforgivable sin He must be sent back to private! life for that, no matter how brilliant, and faithful to party or people the.

A llritlsh expedition of seven men has already established a base some twelve miles from the goal of their adventure. The men are trained climbers, used to great heights, blizzards, avalanches and all the perils of the dangerous ; attempt. It will proilt by tho experience of the expedition of 1933, which established six camps, the last at 27,390 feet. From their base, during tho early days, ihey will study the great mounts lot op through a big mounted telescope. The present Is the fifth llritlsh attempt to scale the mountain. After n/l vn ih'Iti y from i Lo niiiifl " by j minor bases to the loftier part of the 'mountain, the expedition will probably dispatch two or three men in a dash tor the top. Resides the other rinks they run, there is the danger that tho j monsoon, with enormous snows, will I make futile their efforts. When the I Miini.'n)ii:i bnaks is uncurtain.
