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.

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.

THE HOME IS THE SOLUTION

Federation of Women's Clubs, Writing

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.
