All articles submitted for publication must be signed by the author FRIDAY, MAY 23, 1947 PEOPLE RESENT BONUS RUSH ^ Throughout the state there is deep resentment in evidence over the adjournment of the South Carolina General Assembly amidst a rush to college $700 extra pay bonuaea^under .aii iniunctlon threaL The press of the state, ranging from the metro politan dailies to the smallest weekly, are crying “shame” and declaring that South Carolinians have reason to hang their heads in shame. Reflecting the Wess condemnation is an edi torial in the Lancaste^News, w'hich frankly declares that the legislatures of the carpetbagger days of the early 1870's did not do anything worse than, the ‘ legislature just adjourned. , , Here is"what the News has to say in part: “If the members of the General Assembly can vote themselves $760 extra pay why can’t they vote themselves $10,00,0'pay? Who knows but next year there may be enough members of the house and senate get together and agree to do that and then retire from public office? They might figure that for $10,000 they would be willing to retire from public office and so go ahead and vote themselves that much extra pay. “One is beginning to wonder in view of current events whether or not our system of government is not going to fall down. It worked wonderfully in the early days when this country had patriotic men who were willing to serve their country as patriots should. But in this age of greed and graft it may not stand up to the test. ^‘It will be interesting to watch the reaction of the pubjic to this raid on the treasury. If there is not a strong uprising on the part of the people then noth ing will be done about it. But if the people rise up in mass in every section of the state there will be some hope.” Miss Buckley Is Again A Winner Miss PriBvIlla Duckluy defeated Miss Ida McDowell 5 and 4 in ihelr match in the women's Kolf tournament at Charlotte Wednes day.
