I >4 I " THURSDAY, JANUARY 14, 1926. Helping the Parmer. The CoolidKe administration is ap parently “all het up” over the plight of the Western farmer, brought about by overproduction and the con sequent low prices for Wesstem agri cultural products. Nowhere, how ever, have we seen where the. adminis- tratjonJs losing any sleep over a’simi lar situation in which the Southern •(Vxtton farmer finds himself. The answer, of course, is easy to find. The agricultural States of the West are “doubtful” States-^that is, they may be in the Republican column one election year and in the Democratic column the next. Thus, low prices during a Republican administration are naturally causing the powers that be some alarm. Fear is expressed in some quarters that agriculture in this country ip being subordinated to industry, as* is the case in England. As Mark Sul livan points out, the Washington ad ministration tells the farmers to limit pfoduction to the needs wf the American people and at the same time tells tne manufacturers to pro duce in quantity and flood the mar kets of the world with American made goods. So far the only relief that the administration has been able to suggest lies in cooperative marketing, and apparently this is well nigh a physical impossibility, if the experience of the cotton coopera tive marketing association is any in dex. In theory, cooperatve market ing is an excellent thing, but in ac tual practice it is mighty hard to get the farmers as a whole to “cO-op." As with many other things, it seems to be a case of “let George do it.” The cooperative marketing associa tions cannot control the prices of farm products unless they can con trol a substantial pcicentagc of the farm products themselves. However, as stated above, the plight of the Southern farmer appar ently isn’t worrying the administra tion, but we fail to see how relief can be extended the Western farmer wthout at the same time helping^ his brother in the South. The outcome of the present situation will be watched with interest.

Many people (the writer in cluded) opposed the latter because of his record along this line. Somehow, the newspapers of the State (or at least most of them) have been strangely silent about the present Governor’s pardon record. Why?. Is it because he will retire from poli tics at the expiration of this, his second, term? But whether or not this is the answer, why condone in one Governor what we condemned in anotheV ? In many ways Governor McLeod has made a good chief executive and is*! splendid Christian gentleman, so far 9S we know, but in other ways he has been a sad disapointmen^ as witness the tremendous “protest” vote poll ed against him in the last primary election. _—— T.

Those early weeks of 1926 arc a good time to look ahead into the com ing year with some effort to plan the things we hope to accomplish. The foxy old timers knew that if they simply told a boy in a gefierbl way to saw up that woodpilg^ whole year might pass before his tired saw would have severed the last stick. But if they intimated that his reputation as a woodpile artist de pended on finishing the job by March 1st, the neighborhood would resound with the buzz pf the saw and the clip of his axe. Boys and girls of an ol der growth also do well to cherish aims of achievement. Some probably feel that 1925 was a punk pld year for them and that 1926 will, be no better. All they can do is to drill along in the same old rut. Such ones might well think back to the old pioneers who built up this country and ask how far they would have gone if they had manifest ed that spirit. Those folks toiled and sweated, they cut the forest and ploughed the fields and built cities, meanwhile fighting the savages in their odd mo ments. And when they had nothing else to do, they fought two wars to establish independence. They had a glorious old time working 12 to 16 hours a day, but we pity ourselves as enslaved toilers if we have to play the gaihe fof eight or nine. W|th their superb energy they fought the good fight and enjoyed if. They created the most abundant in- - v dustrial opportunity and the best government on earth, apd handed the same over to us as a free gift . With a little of their spirit, we shall set some big “stints,” as the old timers used * to say, for ourselves, fcoth m our (individual occupations and in our efforts to make better towns and a still grander country. As we see it, there is a wide open opportunity in the golden days of 1926. State of South Carolina, County of Barnwell. By John K. Snelling, Esq., Probate Judyge.
