-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. Those of us;,
from Counties of undlstuioed tv.nr-;(
nullity will try to get seats on 'ho'?
! side-lines?but out of range.
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?

"Inasmuch as the sponsors and W.

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
