Red Notwork CITY FILLING STATION DAVIS SERVICE STATION MARION'S SERVICE STATION C0MMENT80N MEN AND THING* ; (By Spectator). -Must Fngland go dowu In defeat because of superior enginery of war produced by German genius under the compulsion of a Dictator? Are wuih always decided by uuinbera of artillery? !h life, even something which develops along the lines of planning?Are we not ofton fashioned by the imponderables, the unforeseen things which In all time have upset the plans of men? Napoleon had a .splendid military fhachtne and the tlnest military brain, A rare man Napoleon in many iields of activity. Deeply read in military history, he mastered the campaigns, the strategy i and tho tactics of great geherals of all time; and he knew when to use ills knowledge; but much Of Napoleon's main strategy was the element of surprise, with speod as its handmaiden, and a disposition of his troops so that even if out-numbered, army for army, he throw a greater number into the main point of attack than the enemy had to opposo him. With all his genius, ho never overlooked the smallest details of equipment. So he and his army were ready; and they struck with the weight and force of tactical advantage. But Napoleon, yet in the full flower of his genius, fell, Are there no more sunken reads in i this day? 1 do not mean literally the sunken road which cost Napoleon so dearly, but aro there not other factors which may Intervene? Of course there are. There Is the God of Battles who has many times humbled the mighty of the Karth and hurled thom from their seats. Can the despoiler win? Hitler has disregarded the right of many nations to live tholr own lives. Must we believe that tho Supreme and Omlpotent One "will let uny mere man control the earth? In our Civil War General Lee had every reason to count on a victory j at Gettysburg. If tho order to take t certain height's at four o'clock In the morning had been carried out, victory would almost surely have been with the South. Gettysburg was the turning point and it turned lAward the North. Fervent prayers hnd been offered by many devout souls of the North and tho South that Jehovah's will might he done. We sons of the South have accepted the outcome and have been ready to prove by a full measure of devotion our firm adhesion to the flag of the Union. A niere chance, as it were, cost General Lee a great victory, just as It was an incident that caused General Warran to defend the heights. So history tells of the unforeseen Incidents which turn the tide of battle. Hitler is stretching and straining his lines, and the strain may p^ove j more than the center can stand. Whenever the full power of America j is made effective his defeat will be certnin. 7'hu Governor Is not lacking in' spunk: he must have known that'"1 when he appointed a personal friend of his as SherifT of Barnwell County without a by-your-leave, or eveh polite j recognition of the powers-thnt-be, he lie was asking for trouble in large, measures. At once a bill was Intro-1 dticed taking a big share of the sheriff's power away. Then the Governor vetoed tho bill. This week the veto came up und the Governor was over ruled by unanimous vote In both the Senate and House. This, accord- | ing to clerks and others of Senate and House was an unprecedented procedure. | The*Governor Is right in saying that [ he exercised the authority conforrod | on him by law; but the issue was t put to a test whother tho Legislature ] will support the Governor In the full , exercise of his powers; or whether that body will support the Legislative delegation from Barnwell in maintaining the sum-emady of a delegation in , matters affecting its County. Quite apart from the outcome of) this veto the safest prediction is that) this sheriff will not bn chosen in th?| n?-M i ) -no urn i ic Primary?unless! liim-s have changed and the whang-j' i|"i'd)e mourneth not forevermore. j( Any one wishing to have a lively 1 , time might move to Barnwell County I now so as to he ready for the next) I it.nun i at ic Primary.

What would you do with an o'dji .mule which has done good and faith-|l I'ul service for ten years, hut which jt now can't work, can't enjoy its food ?, is jnst wasting away? j* Some time ago my partner carried off an old horse which couldn't 'eat. We had no attachment for that old horse; but the old mule has been our strong support, he and his co-worker.' Other mules have died or been sold; i some of the early friends are still carrying on; but old George has passed his time. The pasture doesn't appeal to him; he can't get any strength from his food. We are putting him on i special tonic diet, hoping that his ia?t days may be restful and comfort- i able. i It is life's great tragedy?waning faculties, the dragging step, the fail-, ing memory, the cloudy outlook, the lack of hope, the loss of interest. , We remember old George, one of a pair of big. strong mules, fine, willing workers, toiling through the cold of winter and through the heat of long summer days. Ho was of the pair which broke the groun'd in early fall for small grain; then came the winter plowing, later spring and summer cultivation. He pulled the disc harrow. the plow, the reaper and hinder end the liny-baler. Now he has earned the reward due for long days of steady work. I Ihke old George, a'man loses his strength, his ability to stand the strain of his youth: his food goes >ack on him; he walks about waiting he end. What should wo do with old George? Senator Jdhmon State* HU Position On County Supply Bill (Continued from flret page) tit a U>h? to operate, because of the tact they are badly in need of repaira and it take* approximately one-third of the time pushing them off to start them. "Inasmuch as the sponsors and W. P. A. are very anxious that this project be pushed to an early date of completion, I recommend that we suspeud this Project temporarily until the necessary equipment can'be furnished to carry on work as it should he." Mr. Johnson States His Position . Senator Murdoch M. Johnson has addressed the following letter to W. T. Redfearn, and also seut a copy to Representative Arrants and Thornton and county attorney J. Team Gettys: "i duly received your favor . of April 21, addressed to the Kershaw county legislative delegation, advising of tho urgent' necessity that funds he supplied, for the continuation of VV. P. A. projects, for the payment of county officers, employees, and bUts lor necessary county supplies, and, responding thereto, i wish to advlpe that during the first few days of the present igeislatlve session Messrs. Arrants and Thornton, the members of the house of representatives from i Kershaw county, met with me in my i office and, after considerable discussion, wo agreed upon a supply bill, which I drafted And turned over to them with tho distinct understanding between us that they were to carry it to Columbia and have it re drafted in lite engrossing department of tho legislature, in accordance with requirements, and introduce it promptly with the view of getting it through early during tho session. They did not do this, hut a month later they introduced another supply ' bill?altogether'different from tlfe one we had agreed upon. The bill introduced by them made appropriations for only six months and provided for a change of the fiscal year for Kershaw county and provided further that the fiscal year should begin on July 1, and end on June .SO, of the next succeeding year. Their bill also provided that the officers should collect all fees provided by law to be collected by county officers, but that they j should not retain them but should turn them all over to the county treasurer and into a fund to be known and designated as a "free text-book fund." "When the bill passed the House and came over to the senate, I had it referred to me as senator from Kershaw county and I consulted with ' opunty officers and citizens over the county with respect to the provisions of the bill; and not one citizen expressed himself or herself in favor of free text-hooks or the creation of a free text-book fund; and all expressed themselves against the conn-' tv officers neing required to turn all tecs over to the county treasurer, the main objection being, as is now the case ahd as had been the case heretofore, with the county officers being Allowed td retain the few? collected by them they have bad the opportunity to favor needy people through* out the couuty, and practically of one uccord they have all done eo. It appeared to be the sentiment of the people generally that to adopt the plan of the houae members from Keri ahttw county to require the collection I of fees by county officers In all caaee and the payment thereof to the county treasurer would work a severe hardship on the poor people of the county; and believing that such action would militate against the needy poor of the county, I amended the supply bill which the house members had introduced and passed through the houae, striking out the provision for free text-books and, ap?o the provision for collection of all fees by the county officers and payment thereof by them over to the county treasurer; and, bocause I had found that a change of the fiscal year would probably be iu the interests of better government of the county, I wrote provision Into my amended bill, at the same tltno making appropriations for eighteen months instead of six mouths, so that we would not have to pass another supply bjll during this session of the general assembly. The appropriations iu this amended bill prepared by me wore practically on the same basis (except for a few minor changes) as the appropriations provided in the v?rlgnlal bill drawu in my office. When my amended bill went back to the house, Messrs. Arrants and Thornton refused to concur therein and the result was that the Kershaw county supply bill went to free conference, the conferees on the part of tho senate, in addition to myself, being Senator McKachln of Florence and Senator Raskin of Lee. Tho conferees appointed on the part of the house were Representative Arrants and Thornton, and Representative Williams of Lancaster county. During the first week after the Conferees I wore appointed, wo were unable to hold a meeting becauso of the death of a relative of Senator Baskin and since" then Senator McEachin lias been at home sick; however, he is returning this week and I believe the conferees can hold a meeting'almost any day this week that Messrs. Arrants and Thornton may* suggest. I might say, however, that it is not my purpose to abandon the principle for which I stand, namely; that the county* officers of Kershaw county be continued the authority to give the poor people of the county remission of fees, and so long as I am in the senate, I will never agree to any provision that will require the collection of all these fees in full. There are a lot of good people In Kershaw county who are poor and I do not Intend that they shall be hurt by any official act of mine. "Last week, under the authority given in the 1940 supply bill for Kershaw county. I prepared three resolutolno making appropriations?one for an npproprlatoirt to supplement State and Federal funds for the Department of Public Welfare. I signed, that resolution and handed it to Miss Sarah Crawford, director of, the Department of Public Welfare of Kershaw county. This Resolution was presented by Miss Crawford to Representative Thornton, who refused to sign it. I prepared another resolution for an appropriation for the aviation ^school at the Camden and Kersliaw county airport for. the purpose of aiding in the contemplated enlargement of the school. I sent this resolution to Representative Thornton with the request that he sign it and present it to Representative Arrants to sign. Mr. Thornton called mv office on last Saturday morning, is my absence, and adyised my secretary that he would not sign the resolution, at the same time "stating his and Mr. Arrants's opposition to the delegation making appropriations by resolutions and also stating that this appropriation was provided for in the supply hill lie and Mr. Arrants had introduced. On Saturday. April 26, I prepared 'another resolution providing for an appropriation to carry on the W. P. A. road and bridge building projects in the county. I signed! that resolution and mailed it to Messrs. Thornton and Arrants. hut I have not yet heard from them. In writing Messrs. . Thornton and Arrants. I sent you a copy of my letter. "I realize, of course, thai it is the duty of tlie members of the delegation | to provide funds for the payment of county officers and to carry on tho necessary work of thft county, the purchase of supplies, as well as to make the necessary appropriations of tills county for the W. P. A. road and *1 Department of Public Welfare, and 9 other W- P. A. projects in tin- county 9 Evon though we may not agree o?h9 a supply bill, there is no sensible 1 reason why y(e should not provide 9 for the payment of the officers and 9 employees of the county and the operation of the county govornmflSL 9 as well as furnishing the necessary \ Y funds to the agencies and projects to 1 which the county is committed. To J9 my miud, it is unthinkable that any 9 member, or1 members, of the delegl* 9 tlon should refuse to Join in any of .;9 these necessary appropriations 9 with the idee in mind of forcing J another methber of the delegation | | to come around to his, or their, way *1 I of thinking. "Please be assured that as senator 9 from Kershaw county, I am happy to 9 be of any possible service to the county and its duly constituted authorities 9 in helping to insure a continuance 0f ~ ]9 the orderly and business-like manage- 9 ment of tne bounty that we have ha4 I for the phBt^ several years. May 1 J9 say, also. tlfiU in my opinion the ..^9 county-is to be congratulated upon <9 the busineSs-like administration of its 9 affairs by the County Board of Dime* j tors and other officers of the county .J9 during the past several years, which *9 has resulted in placing Kershaw coun- J ; ty in an enviable position financially." 9 In fact, as I understand it, our sooty .?j9 has one of the highest credit ratings 9 of any county In the state. It is my yj earnest desire that its present 9 standing may be maintained and I .9 am conynitted to do everything in my 9 power in that direction. i "As above stated, I shall be glad v^9 to join with the members of the how 9 from this county in adopting resoh-'~ tions for appropriations for any and 9 all the purposes above enumerated." 9 The slang expression, "apple pie 9 order," was used in writings by Scott 9 as early as 1813. In medieval times, the horny cal- jr losity. or "chestnut," found on the 9 inner side of a horse's legs, was used 9 in medicine. -^9 Robert Branham I Of Blaney Di^s J -Robert J.
