of which there was already a snrplas
would receive only the ntnnber of dol
lars sot down in the budget.
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.

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

st of whether we are to re

Massaohueetta, made very wise

"It is serving an excellent pur
pose in preparing the way for a defi

^rty as .to whether it will line up

gagv of battle in behalf of the dry*,

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. It is conceded
by toany that there anil never be a

Wofah of wool purchased $1.1* worth

Thirty-two men and women have

frauds which leads one to think maybe
Vare’s majority there will be cut in the

We now have k straight from his
tory that a pretty woman persuaded

beauty shops after all.

Ten billion more cigarettes were
consumed by American people in 192<
than in the year before, which is an

The New South’s Pioneers.
Here is what will make the new
South. 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. Robison, formerly super
intendent of the Barnwell High School
and for the past several months super
intendent of the Abbeville schools, was
p visitor here last week. His friends
will be interested to know that he has
reriffhpd his position in Abbeville to
«ell school supplitt, in which line of
work he has met with considerable
success during the summer vacation.
He wiH be located in Columbia. Prof.
E. R. Crowe, principal of the Union
City schools, has been elected to-suc
ceed Prof. Robison at Abbeville.
