SUBSCRIPTION RATES: One Year - IU60 Six Months Three Months — f W) (Strictly hi Advance.) THURSDAY, JUNE 20TH, 1929. The old fashioned hoop-skirt will toon have evolved into the hip-skirt. Famous and infamous tea parties: The Boston, Mrs. Hoover’s. Most any time now we expect t 0 see some up-to-the-minute depart ment store advertising the latest de signs in fig leaves. In view of the heavy boll weevil anfestationi, why not a gubernatorial | proclamation prohibiting the pest from working on Sunday? “When better painting is done the flapperg will do it,” opines The Au- gusta Chronicle. Yeah, and when shorter skirts are worn the flappers will wear ’em. We wonder in our idle way if Presi dent Hoover will also refer to Hs wife’s tea party as “a noble experi ment?” At any rate it promises to be “far reaching.” The longest word in the English language ia “proantitransuhstantianal- ist,” which means ore who is in favor of the theory that holds that the theory of transubstantiation is un founded. Well, after all, Southern Hoover- crata will doubtless agree that mythi cal domination by the Pope is to be preferred to subserviencey, social ard otherwise, to an aggressive “nigger” and his wife from Chicago. We disagree with The News and Courier and The State that there are no stateawomen in America. Any woman worthy of the name of wife •rd homemaker can certainly qualify for the title. No mere politician is equal to the task. A Sad Spectacle. Durirg the last Presidential cam paign the opponents of Alfred E. Smith apparently stopped at nothing to insure his defeat. Among other things they circulated what purported to be the picture of & New York ne gro— Morton by name—dictating to a white stenographer. It was used in an effort to show that Governor Smith favored social equality. It was proved that Morton was appointed af ter having stood a civil service ex amination and there was no connec tion whatever between the Democratic nominee and the negro’s appointment, but the dirty charge had its effect. Last week dispatches from Wash ington stated that Mrs. Herbert Hoover, wife of President Herbert Hoover and, by virtue of her husband’s office, the “first lady of the land,” en tertained a negro woman, the wife of the only negro in Congress, at a tea at the White House, i Far be it from us to chortle over this sad and sorry social spectacle. We would be more inclired to hang our head in shame over the plight in which a woman of very evident re finement found herself but for the re marks of the negress’ husband, Oscar DePriest, who said: “Yes, my wife at tended Mrs. Hoover's tea at the White House. She enjoyed the ex perience and the social contacts very i^uch. She was treated excellently and there was no indication of any sort of a desire to discriminate in her case.” Had Mrs. Hoover shown any dis taste in being forced to act as hostess to a negro woman that would at least been an extenuating circumstance, but one gathers from DePriest’s remarks that the President’s wife was the •‘perfect hostess.” Somehow we can- ilot envisage Mrs. Alfred E. Smith in a like role. The incident is respectfully referred to those Democrats and champions of white supremacy in South Carolina «ad elsewhere who cast their ballots November for Candidate Herbert Hoover. We know now that he never as under the present economical ad ministration of the town government it has been possible to pay off debts in the amount of about $6,000 contracted by a previous administration. This has been done out the usual reve nues arri we understand that the town is row being run on a cash basis. The members of council deserve the thanks of the taxpayers for making this possible. And speaking of licenses, we also understand that practical|y every line of business in Bamwel pays a license with the possible exception of hotels and boarding houses. Nobody en gages in the business of operating a hotel or boarding house without the expectation) of making money—in other words, they are not philanthropic institutions—and it seems reasonable that such businesses should help bear their just share of the burden alortg with “the butcher, the baker and the candJestick maker.” , Until a few years ago, hotels and boarding houses were required to pay Ifcenses in Barnwell, but it later de veloped that some were paying and some were not. Following the line of least resistance, of late years none of them has been required to pay. This does not seem fair to those business houses who are now required to pay licenses and The People-Sentirtel re spectfully suggests that the city coun cil forthwith adopt a license ordi nance covering hotels ard boarding houses. With the number of such businesses now being operated here it would seem that a substantial sum could be collected for the city treasury. Safeguarding Health. #■ *' * Raising the Seaffi ill •1 y ■.

South Carolina’s State food research commission has been, busy recently discovering iodine in vegetables. Dr. Roe E. Remington, laboratory direc tor, is now turning his attention to iron. He believes that there may be a sufficient quantity of iron to be of medicinal value in the produce of the State’s soil. He has very lately been investigating asparagus for iodine with very satisfactory results. Sam ples of the vegetables have been pouring into the laboratory in Char leston at a great rate. A new laboratory is soon to be equipped on Mill street. This re moval from the Medical college build ing will be effected next month. Add ed space will thus be secured and the staff, which now consists of Dr. Rem ington, two chemists, and a secretary, will then be increased. Two chemists may be added.

Swarms of college students are now at home for a three month’s vacation. Many others are merely continuing the vacation they have enjoyed dur ing nine months on the campus. For the rest of the summer they will adorn the local drug stores, drive the old man’s car all over the country, flirt with flappers, and use many other devices to <frive dull care away. No need to worry about money—the old man' will come across liberally on request. Anyway, a fellow at home needs only about a dolar or two a day for sperding money. He doesn’t have to pay board. There’s one who warvT spend "his vacation in such ways. He had to work hard to get to col lege and to stay there. To get enough money to put him self through, he has sold p&petp, ped dled vegetables, worked in the mill, taken all sorts of odd jobs. A popular student, he could go to many house parties this summer. , He has to work. He has no choice. He will work all summer. If he can’ get lighter work, h* will spend the greater part of his ^vacation at ordi nary labor in a mill. With a cherry smile he said yes terday, “You know, I worked all sum mer last year, ard when I had paid al my expenaea, I had just $2.50 left for spending money.” Two dollars and a half!
