We wonder what our Hoovercrat friends think now of President Hoover’s attitude towards the South, whose solidarity was broken for him for the first time since the War Be tween the States? f Of course, there was no pressing iehHgation on his part to appoint a Southerner as a member of his cabinet, although* strong pressure was brought to bear to have him make such an appointment, but common justice seemed to demand that the South should have representation or. the recently created farm relief board, which many now take as merely a sop that the Republican administration has thrown to the disgruntled wheat farmers of the West. The nearest approach that this section has to representation is the appointment of an Oklahoman who is supposed to represent the cotton growing irter- ests, but by no stretch of the imagina tion can Oklahoma be regarded strict ly as a Southern State. The Presidnet’s attitude on this ques tion, together with the atttude of both himself and his wife or the negro question, should disabuse the mind of any Southerner that Mr. Hoover is “friendly” to this section. If there is a single Hoovercrat in Ba rrwell or elsewhere in South Caro lina who is still proud of his vote in the last Presidential election. The Ptople-Sentirel will gladly publish ' Ms letter of approvsl of the present administration. Speak out. frier da, —such letters would make interesting reading. •v.*.*.>;C. it to the tratrix, or her attorneys, ..Mess. Brown and Bush, of Barnwell, S.

The Democratic senators have in this tariff battle shown a front more resrly united than has been the case in many years. The public service they have rendered will not be forgot ten. If the country's gratitude is commensurate with the country's gain because of their efforts, the Corgress to be elected next year will show many seats now Republican filled by Demo crats.

The LaaoJme Tax. £;Y The Automobile Association of America has adopted a resolution ex pressing thu opinion that gasoline tax money should be used only for con- ■tnsetton ar cHnaintensnce of roads and regulation of traffic, and a commit tee was appointed to request President Hoover to rame a commission to study the conditions and obtain data as to the States that divert part of this tax to school construction ard other work. In the first place, we fail to see wherein it is ar y business of the federal government as to how gasoline taxes are used by the individual States State taxation is a matter that should be managed strictly by the States themselves, and the request of the A. A. A. is just srother instance of rushing to a paternal federal gov ernment to regulate States*’ rights. For that reason, we are “agin” it. In the secord place, rot all of the gasoline sold to consumers and on which the road tax is paid is used in automobiles and trucks. For ix- starce, The People-Sentinel uses an average of five gallons a week to bsat the metal used by our Linotype. Tbe tax paid is 30 cents per week or $15.60 a year—considerably more than a lot of people pay on real estate and personal property! Before we re placed our gasoline engine with an electric motor some years ago, the amount was even larger. There are doubtless many smajl gasoline engines on farms throughout the State that use road-taxed gasoline. Aeroplares consume quite a lot and weekly motorboat races held at Col umbia and Clear Pond and other places account for some more. While all of the gasoline taxes collected in South Carolina are supposed to be used or. the State ard county roads, it will be seen from the above that part of the money could be diverted to other pur poses without robbing the automobile and truck owners of any road funds to which they are entitled lawfully. However, the point we wish to make is that, until the federal government takes over the entire road system of the United States and fixes a gasoline tax for the construction and maintenance of the highways, the manner in which the individual States collect and dis horn gasoline taxes does not concern it in the least. inson, of Arkansas, they have exposed the iniquities of the schedules pro posed in the House bill, and through them the people have become aroused to the same fury of indigr ation as caused the wreck of the Taft Admiris- tration over the Payne-Aldrich tariff. As a result the Administration Sena tors, who purposed driving through that measure with additional exac- tiors, have been driven into a huddle and are now planning secret sessions of the part of the Finance Commit tee, with the Demo rats excluded, to decide whst residue of the loot they da.e attempt to save. When the directors of Republicar. strategy in the House of Representa tives—after consultation with* Presi dent Hoover—jettisoned his pledge that tariff revision should be cor ftf ed to schedules pertinent to Farm Re lief, and such few others a s applied to indusUies that might show tangi-, those womanly qualities of modesty, ble evidence of depression because of gentlenes* and sweetness, which* are foreigr competitior, the assumption so precious in the sight of our saviour, was that the Senate would follow what Early in life she united with the has beer its course, whenever it had Baptist Church. She was faithful in s Republican majority, and add an- her stter dance at church and untiring other story to the skyscraper charmc- in her Christian duty. Her Christian ter of the tariff bill. i mfluerce and splendid training, r.o Then we heard Senator Watsor, of doubt will bear fruit in the Sunday Ir diana, the Administrative leader, an- School class which she taught for over nouncing complete revision of the thirty-five years.

Smoot, of Utah, proclaimed that the She lives on earth in thought—and i sugar duty would be high enough to, died as truly, as she lives in Heaven. ADMINISTRATRIX'S SALE.
