The article did not tell the whole story. Instead of the cotton farmer receiving the budgeted cotton cash, he was penalised heavily on every hale for" having over-produced. He was paid much leas for the record- breaking crop last year than he re ceived from a much smaller one in 1928. J Many people learn by experience, but it seems hard for the farmer to learn his lesson. V <4 Give Them Intellectual Liberty. Senator Blease and Tax Reduction. The editor of The People-Sentinel, •s everybody in Barnwell County owe, is not a Bleaseite but he he re* in "giving the devil his due”— meaning, of course, that Senator ilssse is a devil, although at one time almost believed that he sported a sloven hoof—and it might be well to State some of the facte in connection With his having voted last week with' the Republicans ag^inet. federal tax deduction and in fstbr of using the excess money in the treasury towards reducing the public debt There ap- Pears to be a surplus of some $386,- 000,000 in the United States Treasury. An effort was made to reduce federal taxes by giving this money back to R*e taxpayers—the big corporations, Sta A large part of the surplus came from taxes paid by automobile buyers to the manufacturers and in turn paid t>y them to the government. It would be manifestly unjust to the owners of automobiles who had paid these taxes Presumably tP the government to have thie money presented as a free gift to manufacturers. That, we understand, Is the position that Senator Blease took and we fail to see wherein he was wrong, if our understanding of 4he matter is correct To return the money to the people who paid itr—that is, the automobile buyers—would have just but not to the manufactur- ives. Radicals opposed Ito the rights of school teachers to intellectual liberty and free speech received a bloody nose when they went to listen to President S. S. Mengen of the National Security League. He said: “No man is good enough to do another man’s thinking, and teachers, who are in the main hard-working, self-sacrificing, grossly underpaid public servants, should not be humiliated by being de nied the righto of free thought and free speech.” .i * - ii —* Isn’t there a world of truth in those few wiords? "'If any class of people should be able to stand on their own feet, hold their heads high, do their own thinking and have the right to express their opinions, it is the teacher. Humiliation such as some of our (teachers throughout the nation are subjected to is bad for society, bad for the teachers, bad for the taught. We want no moulding of the minds of youth by sneaks or slaves. Kansas did away with bootleggers —cigarette bootleggers. Simple man ner. It repealed the cigarette law.

Why Not a Knockout. * 'McAdoo's apeechik Toledo, where- ta he took up the off banner against the Smith wets, a nd started a general reugfe house in Democratic ranks, rnmld easily be the end toward a final st of whether we are to re dry or go back to the refresh »t stand. Senator Walsh, a wet Massaohueetta, made very wise nt on the McAdoo speech. He "It is serving an excellent pur pose in preparing the way for a defi ■lie determination by the Democratic ^rty as .to whether it will line up with Prohibition or against it. It is an irrepressible conflict that cwnnot ha escaped. By throwing down the gagv of battle in behalf of the dry*, the McAdoo speech serves a useful are thinking men everywhere who are of the opinion that the heal- tfcitat thing that could now happen * be for the Republican party to the same thing to pass within Hh .ranks. If someone like Senator IRhdaworth. New York wet Rapubli- Nicholaa Murray Sutler, a factor, would force the party to the issue—in presenting a wet candidate -and insisting upon a wet Phik—as Governor Smith is doing in th* Democratic ranks, then we would be ’fetti ng somewhere.

An Okeechobee, Fla . new« article, printed elsewhere in this is sue, tells of 400 Swedish and German farmers of Ohio, Wisconsin and low Who will locate on' 10,000 acres of Florida land which has been cut into small farms. New blood is what the South needs. New blood brings new ideas. We have been trained through generations to think in terms of cot ton. Our system of agriculture ha been built on cotton. It is hard to throw off the habits acquired through several generations. The Swede or German from the West does not know cotton. He thinks in terms of grains, milk, butter, chickens and eggs. He is thrifty and does not know how to live 365 days on 100 days’ work. The new South may be long in the making but a new South is coming. The North, the Middle West and the West have had their booms. The next big boom will be in the South. The wise man will plan for it.—Dillon Herald. Prof. Robison Resigns. Prof. J. D.
