C., as second-class matter. SUBSCRIPTION RATES: One Year i $1 60 Six Months - Three Months *60 (Strictly in Advance.) THURSDAY, MAY 2nd, 1929. “Extended Labcr—Is It Fair?” Under the above caption, the second of an interestipST and enllighteninp: series of advertisements by the Cot ton Manufacturers Assocation of South Carolina appears in this issue of The People-Sentinel. We arc dir ecting particular attention to these advertisements for the reason that quite often industrial conditions re sulting in strikes are not understood by the general public, and especially is this true in this case. There being no cotton mills in thus particular sec- tfon of the State, our people are not acquainted with the textile industry. While these advertisements are ex parte testimony, they are written in a very frand manner and bear the stamp of truth. In fact, we are assured that convincing proof will be furnish ed, upon request, of each and every atatement contained therein. The mills claim that they are faced “with a threatening competition which demands better cotton goods at lower prices.” That competition has to be met with improved machinery and South Carolina mills have spent mil lions of dollar* in the past few years in making the necessary installations. "Which is to be preferred—the instal lation of new machinery to meet pres ent-day conditions, thereby keeping labor employed, or 'lossei that invite bankruptcy and the closing of the mills for the owners and the losg of employment on the part of the opera tive* ? If the farmers of Barnwell County could produce cotton with machinery instead of the laborious and costly hand methodi that have been in use airce the early days of cotton produc tion, they could meet the • ruinous competition of Texas, where the staple ta produced much more cheaply than it is here—and they would be foolish not to use such machinery. Then why cer.aure the cotton mill* for reducing production costs in an effort to meet “a threatening compe tition” by the inatallation of improved machines and methods? We know a few cotton mill owners and they appesr to be just a* humsn ard humane at any other class of people. It is to their advantage to keep their employes contented and house them in comfortable dwellings. But they are forced to meot condi lions in the textile world and any thing new always invites oppositon from some quarter. We all remem ber the opposition to the automobile when that now very necessary vehicle was ftrtst inverted. Owners were subjected to all sort of annoyances, but all that ig changed today. We are told that the old South Carolina and Georgia Railroad was first sur veyed through Barnwell but the op position of land-owners and slave holders lost the road to this town, they being fearful that the “iron horse” would kill their young darkies and turkeys! Later the coming of other railroads was welcomed! In the not distant future, the cot ton mill operatives will be convinced that the principle of extended labor is sound and will wonder that they ever opposed it. In the meantime, read the advertisements appearing in The People-Sentinel. They are in structive, to say the least. In Other Sanctums No Offense, Brother. The Barnwell People-Sentinel cas tigates The Herald for what it con sidered an insinuation about Barn well County asparagus. The Herald hastens to disclaim an.y intention of reflecting on Barnwell County in any manner whatsoever. We never had any such thought in mind. Asparagus is proving to be such a good crop that perhaps we got a lit tle too enthusiastic about H, and any errors that we may have made were “of the head and not the heart." Edi tor Davies seems to think we may have been a little offensive in saying that our planters were shipping loag before the official but we ing Ultimatum ARE &OIH(p WOPk 6-\RpEM To IN THE Now AND 1$ (c^yrttKW.M.U.) merely going by published state ments. He .tays that a Barnwell man shipped one crate on March 2, al though the season did rot officially open until the 25th, when a carlot shipment was made. A Bamberg County man likewise sen* a small lot to market on March 2. We acknowledge our ignoran.e in the matter of white and green grass. The People-Sentinel puts us straight about thii by explaining that it all depends on wheru it is cut whether it is green or white. Our error, frierd. We ought to have known better, but people never kiow- things until they find them out. Bamberg County being a part of old Barnwell, naturally our soil must he good. We don’t claim that it is ary better than Barnwell’s but it is a fa«t that we are producing some mighty fine grass, and it is equally true that it has been bringing top prices. It would never do for Bam berg Courty to outdo Barnwell, its legal mother, but it does frequently happen that children have more mod ern ideas than their pamts. al though we don’t make this claim for Bamberg. Whatever helps Barnwell is bound to help Bamberg, and vice versa. There is glory enough to go round. What all of us want to do is to make the crops we arc espe.ially adapted to produce, and to make them just as bountifully and as good as possi ble. We are rot competing with Barnwell County.—Bamberg Herald. D Mrs. Lula Creech. Levied on and sold M property of J. M. Brabham. For tax a s for year ending Nov. 1,1928. No. 2. North by M. C.
