With the nomination of Herbert Hoover practically assured and his election a certainty unless the threat ened farm revolt in the West mater-" ialixes, the outlook for a^ricultural prosperity continues dark indeed. The farmers’ one hope is in the election of a Democratic President. ’Sfunny, that General Motors (which includes Buick and Vcfritfidaire), the South Carolina National Bank, the* Southern Railway, the manufacturers of Chesterfield and Lucky Strike cigar ettes, the Standard Oil Company, the Ford Motor Company and other con- eems of like character should continue to use the advertising columns of The Pfcople-Sentinel and other weekly newspapers when they could easily Hsrertain from certain local business (?) men that “advertising ' doesn’t pay” and thus save thousands of dol lars annually that go into the till of the aforesaid newspapers. One has only to compare the com mercial success of the said certain local business (?) men with that of the corporations named above to know to e certainty which school of thought is correct.

The increased rate will apply to large as well as small shipments, and will, of course, be paid by the farmer. The day that the Tetter was written the price of cotton declined $1.50 a bale. This is just another one of the many instances ■where the farmers are faced with in creased costs of production and de creased prices for their products. Perhaps concerted and immediate action on the part of merchants, farm- ers and legislators, might prevent this Urn *atened increase. Politics in Dorchester. In marked contrast to the quiet campaign in Barnwell County this •summer is the tempestuous political •situation in> Dorchester County, where Ihe fight betweep the Limehouse and the opposing factions has been car ried even into school commencement exercises. From the Dorchester ('ovlnty Record we' learn ‘ that the closing exercises at the Ridgeville school were marked by personal en counters, the direct result of a speech made by a candidate for the State Senate. After giving a lenffthy ac count of the incident leading up to the trouble, The Record stated: “Mr. Wannamaker (superintendent of the Ridgeville school) appealed for order. —f— ————•=— He sapi the children were yet to get their diplomas, etc. Many of thechil- thneri were crying and others had run out of the room.” f Cmi readers of The People-Sentinel , muneLne such a condtion of affairs ex isting in Barnwell County? We know nothing of the merits of the case, other than the account we saw in* the St. George paper, but it has indeed crw»e to a pretty pass in county politics \when such things oc:ur. The Dorchester campaign opened with a stormy session two or three wreks ago, and judging from the at tacks and counter-attacks in the two SL George papers the outcome of the election in> August will be interesting, to say the least. the incoming council could save a like amount and put the money into per manent improvemets, now that the floating |debt is out of the way.

Offict*$Bftunting is becoming or has become a disease that is a public af fliction. When day after day is ob served entries into this race or that race, the citizen, who is an office- seeker but who does advocate efficient government, naturally asks himself. Why the contests? There are cases where the public is fallly content with the officials in office; there are some, even, where the observing public recognizes that satis factory, efficient .service has been rendered arjd wishes no change. If the public were consulted there would be no. effort to effect changes. But'the public is not consulted; its views are not asked. Candidate^ seeking to oust those who are in jump into the arena.

Candidates, nominate themselves, and with personal friendilf begin! to plan and scheme and work for their personal advantage. They strive to wini, not for the public, but for purely selfish motives. They make ail sorts of promises and start all sorts of stories. And there is no peace in the land.— The .State. ■ “Scientists Seek to Kill Disease Bacilli by Radio”—News Headline.
