COMMENTS ON MEN AND THINGS
(By Spectator)
ldfc. you know, la tho total of one's
^P^rtences and hopes. Wo can t
^Iv know our fellowmen unless we
-n sympathise with them, and we
[-n't sympathise in very truth unless
ye buve had somewhat similar experience*
How, for example, could a
erusty old bachelor sympathize with
young father who falls asleep at
kla desk, following'an all-night promenade
with his sick child? So we grow
L We feel the sufferings of others.
Spectator hua grown a lot recently:
^ fact if he had grown In height according
to his recent, growth in expe-!
rieuce he would almost rival the Elf j
(el Tower. Spectator has joined tho'
ranks of the hay-fever sufferers. Do
you know anything about it? Well,'
je now has the most profound sympathy
for all the tribe of sneezers, of
whom he regards himself now as the
chlefest. Now he fain would renounce.
relinquish and forever part
ylth that chleftainsy.
There is a chance that the hay-fe-,
rer addicts may solve our cotton problem
by heavy handkerchief purchases
and those handkerchiefs
should be of the similitude of a towel;
or, say. kin to those brown ones
which the Red Cross gave away overseas.
one being so large as to make,
vou feel that you had stuffed the family
laundry in your pocket.
Spectator has been proud of his'
(arm and of his hay. He has had
hay-fever for years in the sense of an
exuberant fancy for planting legumes
for hay. but not this hay-fever which
makes one indifferent to Hitler and
the Sudetens, or the ciisastrous bust
of the Roosevelt purge, or the outcome
of the Governor's mllitaiy regime
which HitlerlzeB our South Carolina
Democracy. Yes, sir, in this
gavage mood one would be Justified
In challenging Dr. Ball to debate the
excellence of New Deal plans, one
might, indeed, take on Editor McDavid
Horton and split an infinitive with
him.
Governor Johnston had no legal
right to call out the National Guard
to hold the ballot boxes in Charleston.
The militia Is not the plaything of a
governor; It Is a part of the police
force of the state for use in extreme
emergencies. It is to be used In time
of public disorder which is so serious
to be beyond the power of the civil
police
What is the condition? An election
had been held. Whether there was
Irregularity or fraud Is to be proved,
.but certainly there was no breach of
the peace, nor had the usual processes
of law been Invoked.
Why does not the governor declare
tnartial law in Charleston so that the
military powers might assume the
functions of the Civil officials? It
would be more logical to dive In headlong
than Just to muddy the waters.
Ther>- seems to have been a number
Of Irregularities in the second primary
In Charleston. In the excitement of
fervtnt partisanship things were done
which threaten the integrity of our
primary.
Before we become disposed to throw
too many rocks, however, let us make
two points, namely, that Mr. Maybank
was not a rty to the wrong-doing
and irregularities might be found in
other places. Considering the inexpert
help at many boxes one Is disposed
to marvel that so few errors
are made or exposed.
Is it likely that other great voting
centers of the state never have irregolaritl.-s?
Are we up-country men prepared
to assume a smug superior
righteousness?
We South Carolinians spend a lot
of money In political campaign*. If
we don't call a halt we Bhall virtually
sell our offices to U?e highest hid dor*
or compel a good man to plunge into
bankruptcy in order to serve the publie.
The question arises: Is a candidate
offering to serve himself and
those who contribute to his campaign
or is he chosen to serve the people?
If we don't find the means to check
free spending in political campaign we
shall debauch the electorate and buy
the office.
There Is no legal justification for
calling out the militia in Charleston.
If there is one principle of government
that is clear beyond nil civil It
is that the military force is not to
be used in the processes of the Civil
Administration; nor at any time when
the courts are availuble. The very
use of the military Implies forces, and
force is contrary to the genius of our
institutions. Until the usual processes
of the courts shall have proved incapable
of meeting a condition resting
In force or violence wo are bound a>?
citizens to submit our causes to the
courts.
Unless the governor can lawfully
claim a state of insurrection, or a degree
of violence beyond the control of
local authorities, he has no lawful
right to use the National Guard.
If there has been fraud the fullest
investigation should bo made, but that
still does not require soldiers.
Hitler is grasping; he is ambitious,
but he is risking all gains by asking
too much. Germany will probably get
the Sudeten part of Checho-Slovakia
but she will arouse the British, French
and Russians and sooner or later the
world will crush Germany again.
Napoleon achieved much more than
Hitler, but his empire stirred the rest
of Europe to fervent opposition. We
may all be reconciled to the further
expansion of Germany and Japan, but
history repeats itself and that means
a crash of both Germany and Japan.
' If Hitler would only be content to
enjoy the great realm he governs what
a name he would leave! But just a
little more and he will be remembered
as one of the great blunderers.
Verily we live In a hectic time. Over
in Europe the Spaniards are shooting
one another to pieces and destroying
their country; Mussolini thunders now
and again and threatens to tear the
world asunder; Hitler upsets the British.
Russians and French as he prepares
to absorb a part of Checho-Slovakia;
farther away still, the Japs
are takirfg Chinese territory-and not
a declaration of war anywhere. Fighting
while still at peace, you knovr^
But with all this war-like bellelcoslty
in the air we must not be ^prised
that Governor Johnston, likewise without
declaration of war, or anything
else, calls out the military forces of
lh0 state and takes forcible posses;
slon of the ballot boxes of the Char

50 YARD LINE
(By JERRY)
x ^?ev ^,*?,m ,
New York City, Sept 28.?Way up
here iu Yankee laiut where tl.? can't
talk about uny thing but Pitt and Ford-1
ham ... a couple of mtKhty Itnoj
teams, we admit, but we'll do our
tulklng about the Bulldogs back there
in Dixie.
I t
Well, that was a dull game to watch!
last Friday night What with tho
Camden eleven all wrapped up and
using none of the old rassle-daxxle,
and the very poor shewing made by
the grldders from Cayee . . . well. it
was just two bud. 86 to 0, O, hum!
Makes it a rather tuff Job to stack tho
Cold and Black up against Sumter in
a little pregaute dope. According to
some of the Brooklaud-Cayce lads, the
Gamecocks gave them a thorough going
over . . . they were big and heavy
?say they? and went after them every
minute . . . and the result?a 41
to 0 victory for Sumter
Well, we don't know how you're going
to dope it out, but let's take a slab
at it anyhow . . . from where we're
sitting, it didn't look as though the
Bulldogs were trying very hard to
make an impressive showing, especially
on those trys for the extra
point . . . so, while they did give the
1)C gang a good polishing, it did not
urtnaa>> t,, K.. . ?;?.? ? haft! job . C.'t
for the second stringers. We're going
to take a great big leap and put
a lot of weight on the shoulders of
Cox, West, Wooten and the rest of
the regulars . . . Canulcn should be
two touchdowns better than the Sumter
outfit! How come?
? %
O. K., mister, here's how we see
it . . . the Bulldogs have got a lot of
football in that backtield of theirs
.... they're shaping out much l
j ter than anyone had reason to expect.
Cox was a mighty good little football
player last year, hut this year he's
a real threat?plenty fast and shifty
?the same goes for West, who, in our
estimation, is just about as hard to
pull down us he was last year ....
'against the Mount Airy grldders,
Wooten showed that lie has what it
takes to tuek'er in when West starts
slinging the leather his way. The
line was a big question mark around
the first of September, but with the
exception of a few jitters in the opener,
McCa8kill, Merrill and the rest of
the forward wall have done some nice
work both on offense and defense.
But the Sumter game is going to be
a real test for the Bulldogs and It's
going to take a lot of good football
for them to celebrate a victory Friday
night . . . remember how the
Golden Avalanche rolled over the
Gamecocks last year 32 to 0? . . . you
can just bet about thirty good football
players from Sumter navep't forgotten
it . . . oh, boy, there is going
to be one swell battle out at Zemp
field tonight!
Sumter added another victory to
their 1938 belts last Friday when they
shut out a highly touted Andrews outfit
14 to 0 , . . that makes fifty-five
points to nothing for their opponents
In two starts . . . not bad at all!
*
Could it be that Washington's huskies
were a bit over-rated in pregame
sendoffs? It's either that or Minnesota
has come back stronger than
ever this year . . . Pitt, the rulers on
the east coast, sounded their big
drums last Saturday as Mrashall
Goldberg paced them in a brilliant
19 to 0 defeat of a strong West Virginia
team. The lads from Alabama
sure took sweet revenge a* they rolled
over Southern Cal . . . and last
Saturday's results would lead one to
believe that the Chapel Hill gang
aren't quite as tuff as they were doped
out ... . Duke's Blue Devils, on'
the other hand, can look for smooth
sailing after the fine performance of
their four sophomores.
It has been noised about that the
Gamecocks are going to Invade Zemp
field with a record-breaking gang of
rooters tonight . . . so let's see all the
loyal Bulldog fans out there to give
the boys the encouragement they deserve.

An Interesting probability Is that a
European war might end the Spanish
civil war quickly. it has been suggested
that French, colonial troops
would be routed from Africa through
Spain behind the present Spanish Insurgent
front. The Insurgents thus
might be overwhelmed and the civil
war resolved into a 1 xiyalist victory
which would release about 1,000,000
Spanish Loyalist troops, all seasoned
fighters, to aid Britain and France.

Keep Poultry Records
As Intelligent Guide
The poultry raiser who wants to
know how much It costs to feed a
hen a year and how much money can
be made on each hen in a year Is reminded
by County Agent W. C. McOarley
that there Is no way of getting ,
such facts except by keeping accurate
records.
Reminding Kershaw county poultrymen
that October begins a new poulry
demonstration year, the county ^
agent urges growers to secure from
his office the necessary poultry record
books and keep records on what
their poultry flocks are really doing.
/
Besides answering the questions of
costs and profits these records enable
the producer to j^nadyze his poultry
business and make corrections and
improvements where needed, Mr. McCarley
explains. *
"Success depends on efficiency and
efficiency depends on knowing the
facts In the poultry business as in
any kind of business," says the agen^t,
"and these records will enable the
flock owner to keep Intelligent tab on
what his chickens are doing."
