THURSDAY, JANUARY^rl926. Barnwell now boasts of The Best Pharmacy and the only Deason Drug Store in Barnwell County. Hellup! ‘Let Them Stay North.” Under the above caption the News and Courier comments on the state ment credited to the Charlotte Ob server that many negroes are return ing from the North. When the exo dus first began, many newspapers and public officials in Ihe State almost tore their hair in the fear that it Would play havoc with the South. At that time, however, The PeopleTSenti- nel expressed the opinion that it was one of the very best things that could happen for this section of the country and we hoped then—and we hope now—that those who went would stay. We do not recall the attitude of the News and Courier at that time, but we are glad to see that Editor Lathan now agrees with the view taken by this newspper. His editorial is as follows: Reports that a good many of the Negroes who went North during the post-war exodus are returning to the South to stay are credited to The (Charlotte Observer. But the percent age of Negroes who come back per manently will not be large non is it desirable that it should be. Of course when so many Negroes left this section in the course of a very short period some labor shortage was experienced but it was not gen eral or set-ious and most observers will now testify that the Negro exodus from this section was a good thing for the South and a good thing for those Negroes who stayed, what ever may have proved the case as to those who were left. The South is con tent that the Negroes who went North should stay North. ii 1 With such a development (n process it is, therefore, safe to conclude that smoking "hy women is merely a symp tom and .not a “disease.” But the growth of the practice focuses, or snould focus, the thought of the na tion upon the very root of the whole matter and that is the home. Girls are the product of the home and what the homes are the girls will be. 1 would .not concern- myself so much about one particular practice, but JL would urge the wisdom of looking into nome conditions ami t ^ len let the girls .ake care of themselves. Survey By Federation The General Federation of Women’a Clubs has just made a survey of ap- proxiiflately half a million homes throughout the country amounting to a cross-section of American home life. The general conclusion reached from the canvass is that the American home at present is neither meeting ita requirements nor .fulfilling its oppor tunities and that women and girls no longer will endure drabness and drudgery. * Mrs. John D. Sherman, President of the General Federation, truly says: ‘‘In Jhe heart of the home-maker performing her daily tasks in the old and wasteful way lurks a discontent, a sense of injustice, a resentment over the drudgery involved in home-malt ing. Over other inadequately equip ped home-makers spreads an apatny and resignation which argues arrested growth and an indifference to stand ards of living.” Housewife's Dread A preliminary report of the survey says: “The housewife does not mind washing stacks of dishes* under the glow of an electric globe, but the task doubles or trebles if she must do it by the smoky dim light from a kerosene lamp. \$ne does not mind sweeping the lower floor of Uie house if she knows that at the end of her task she can s.t down and chat via the tele phone with a neighbor five miles away.” In no uncertain terms does Mrs. Sherman declare ihat “the public utilities have become the most impor tant single factor in home-making.” “And, she adds, "the fact we now wisfi to get into tnc mind of the Am erican womaji public is that public ut.lilies—water, sewer, gas, eiectric light—are vital pans of toe American nome organizations.” Home ia the Solution * The campaign under way fhe' Federation is for tne purpose of rais ing home standards. Relieved of drudgery, the housewife has ipora time to devote to the thought and care of her children and more time to im- prpve herself and lit herself for mo therhood. 1 believe we cannot over estimate the damage to human life caused by drudgery in a drab hoirfc. A cheerfully lighted, easily operated home, is the best guarantee against poorly-reared children. So the question as to whether or not girls who smoke are morally cul pable does not seem to me tne vital point. In the midst of this social up heaval it behooves us to guard the source of all inspiration—tne home; for, from that wul be determined not merely individual ha hits but th« moral sianuarOa of the nation. WOMEN'S CMJB LEADER ANALY ZES MODERN SOCIAL TREND. THE HOME IS THE SOLUTION BY MitS. L. H JENNINGS Men! of th« South Carolina State Federation of Women's Clubs, Writing la Public Service, Issued by the North and South Carolina Public Utility In formation Bureau. Colleges, newspapers and the public •anarally are considerably agitated -04 present over the “fitf and cigar r problem. There are' those who inwsifh bitterly against the habit and declare with finality “they shall not moke.” Others grant them the same privilege in thia matter as men enjoy. It is the belief of many leaders uf thought that smoking is a matter of morality while with others it is only manners or taste. A few days ago I noted a statement by Mr. A. T. Allen, Superintendent of Public Instruction of North Carolina, to the effect that all the coilegea would sooner or later fallow the example of Bryn Mawr and establish smoking rooms for their girls. I disagree with Mr. Allen and unqualifiedly disapprove the practice of girls smoking. But the fact remains that girls do smoke and it ia f«r saner to face a fact than to inveigh against a theory. Sm 'king on Increase ' Girls and women are smoking to vastly greater extent today than they did ten years ago, and so far as I can see there is no reformer’s dictum that can atop them. As to whether it ia wrong for a girl to smoke I leave it to the reader’s personal view for discus sion of that particular phase of the matter ia not my purpose. As 1 see it, girl smokers are a pro duct of changing social order, and I am not blaming the war for it There if now In process a most radical revo lution—or evo’ution, if you will, in so- cioty. Tb^t t.olution is natural and would have come war or no war; per haps the war did hasten it and give it momentum. But the “pedestal wo man'* ia gone. The change now in process ia the breaking down of dia- tinctions between the sexes.
