The Hauren Farm Bill.
We suppose that the officials of the
S. C. Cotton Marketing Association,
hn endorsing the Hautfen farm relief
hUl, and Congrekaman Bultler B.
Hare, of this District, in declaring
that he will support it, know what
they are doing and fully expect that
the present condition of the cotton
fanner will be bettered by its pas
sage, but if the information that we
have is correct it is rather hard to un
derstand. how the cotton tot is to be
benefit ted.
As we understand the proposition,
the relief to be gotten as a result of
the passage of the bill is based on a
protective tariff, which applies to
wheat, com, cattle, swine and butter
and the idea is to limit these crops
• toi what could be sold in America nt
the price protected by the tariff and
the farmer is to be penalized for rais
ing a surplus by assessing him with
an equalization tax to meet the
losses sustained in selling the surplus
abroad, together with the other loss-
«s involved in price fixing. Later, in
order to gain the support of South-
«m Democrats, cotton was ad
ded to the list. But there is no
tariff on cotton as there is on the
other products mentioned above.
Therefore, we f«il to'see why • the
cotton farmers are interested in a
fixed pri?e based on the tariff as an
element, nor should we lose sight of
the fact that about two-thirds of the
American cotton crop is sold abroad.
Thus, it is seen that if we are to
avoid an export surplus we must
limit our prediction to some four
million er five million bales annually.
Of course, there is probably , con
siderable price manipulation in deal
ing in all of these commodities and
we believe that some relief could b**
had by regulating things along this
line, but the old law of supply and
demand is inexorable. If the farmers
insist on over-producing in the face
of prices claimed to be below the
cost of production, who can estimate
the surplus crops if they are stimu
lated to further production by a gov
ernment subsidy?
The farmers have the remedy in
their own hands—acreage reduction
Thev saw their 1925 crops sell chean-
!y because the harvest was bountiful
and they were warned that large
crops again this year would mean
stHI lower prioea. They know that
they can get more in actual dollars
and cents for a twelve million bale
cotton crop than they can for one
of sixteen million bales and that the
production costs are less. If they
foHon the dictates of wisdom and
sound business logic, we would hear
nothing whatever of farm relief bills
of the Haugen type nor of any other
-type. They wouldn’t be necessary.
There is just *s much sense for the
'armo a of the United States to pro-
dace more than they can sell at at
profit and then ask the government
to take car eof this surplus as there
would be for the publisher of The
People-Sentinel and the publishers of
other newspapers in the country to
print more papers than there is a
demand for and export the govern
ment to take the surplus off of their
hands. Or for the merchant to over-
stock his shelves and.'then demand
government relief.
We are writing as the friend of the
farmer. We want to see him get s
•decent profit on every pound of cot
ton or bushr* of com that he grows,
fbr the extent of our prosperity de
pends in large measure on the pros
perity of the farmer, and we believe
that every tree friend of the farmer
will agree with us in what we have
aaid. If it were possible to grow
‘ twenty million bales and get 40 cents
* pound, wo would say, ?t5o to it!”
»But we all know that* any such
dream will hardly bo real-
latlon and use the formidable weapon
’that we have. Labor has forced its
demands for higher wages and better
living conditions by striking. Let
the farmer follow his example and
strike by refusing to produce more

the ground “that she had spoken
against him, and the church agreed
to take it up.” Some wise counsels
evidently prevailed in the matter for
after many months . the offending
sister “made satisfaction to Bro.
Peeples and to the church.”
A very fine and tender note is
found in the attituda of the church
toward its members of color who
were the slaves’ of their masters. As
these fell from the path of Christian
service, we find the church appoint
ing committees of its leading mem
bers, who were not owners of the slaves
in question to discover the truth in
the questions in dispute,’ “and to
labor wit> them to restore them to
Christian fellowship.” We also find
the church publicly setting apart a
day when negroes who felt called to
preach the gospel, should before the
church exercise their gifts in preach
ing. ! Some of them were publicly
commended in the church minutes,
while others were by the chruch “re-
ouested to refrain.” In 1819 the
Barnwell church writes to Columbia
church (located at Pattersons Mill)
dismissing to that church “our mem
bers who an? now living in the bounds
of that church.” They evidently felt
a deep Christian responsibility for
these people, as shown by the varied
references to them in the minutes.
In 1827 we find that the church in
respons? to a request from certain
people living in the “Hercules Creek
neighborhood sent Brethren Jennings
O’Bannon, David Cave Littleberry
Nix, Charles Still and David Stokes
to receive experiences ami administer
the ordinance of baptism.” Then fol
lows a list of the names of those who
were organized into the church in
“the Slii Town neighborhood.” This
is evidently the founding of the
Friendship church. In 1827, we find
that Brother Hagood was honored
with membership on an important
committee. During all these early
years of the church the names of
Still and Morris ane legion in num
ber.
While passing upon the varied mat
ters which occupied the Barnwell
Baptist church in these early days,
one might conclude that they were
hunting trifles, yet there is evident
ly a growth of Christian conscience
in' Weeping with the spirit of the
times. In the early history of the
church, members were brought be
fore the church “for-over indulgence
in the use of ardent spirits.” While
some latitude seems to have been
permitted its members in this mat
ter. the church reserved to itself the
right to draw the line in the lives
of its members between indulgence
and over indulgence “in ardent spir
its.” In 1829, the church had pro
gressed in the matter to where “Bro.
Tarlcton Cave and wife were ap
pointed to visit Sister . . . and
enquire whether she had bee/5 intoxi
cated as reported.” The sister in
question reported to the church that
she was suffering from a violent
colic, was advised by her husband to
take ardent spirits for relief, and that
she took too much. Under the cir
cumstances the church forgave her!”
Yet behind all the varied causes for
decipline there shines out a clear
sense of loyalty for their Christian
oversight and watch care for each
other, and exaltation of hifh Chrit-
ian living in the world.
The church has always been mark
ed by a high sense of cooperation
with denominational affairs. In. 1916
the church ia response to a request
froq^ toseobro church , sent “Bro.
Gardner- and O’Bfcmnon to that
church to assist them in composing a
difference which had arisen between
two members of that church.” No re
port of their success or failure it re
corded. Each year the church ia care
ful to prepare letters and s« l «ct dele
gates to represent the chureh at the
Suvqnnah River Association
Tract Society in Charleston.” In 1829
by virtue of a contribution made by
the church to Columbian College in
Washtagtwn; “Dr C., “Brother Dar
ling Peeples was elected to vote for
the trustees of this college.” In 1845,
the causes which foreshadowed the
civil conflict between the states had
already resulted in the formation of
the Southern Baptist Convention iri
Augusta, Ga., on May 8th. “On the
Sabbath before that date the Barn
well Baptist Church solemnly ^en
dorsed that Convention, and trfok
steps in the church membership to
“organize societies auxiliary to the
Southern Baptist Convention.” An
interesting sidelight is found in a
record made in 1832 “When the Heal
ings Springs church asked the Barn
well ehnwrji tq rplgasw Bm TY^yltny Qpe member in question was excom-
, Peeples that he might become their
pastor.” They replied to-that letter
“that they had no disposition to part
with him.” In this connection it may
be noted that he had already been
their pastor for thirty years. In
1832 is given a list of the members
who went out from the church forty-
five in number to organize the church
on Hercules Creek. Another item of
interest is found in an entry in 1836
when “the church unanimously re

church felt its tides of ebb and flood.
In the early forties the church was
confronted with such a non-atten
dance of its members that it was
compelled to publicly cite them be

neglect. A little later the church
for the first time in its history is
faced with lack of financial support
