JANUARY 80TH, 1930. Putting on style and putting off creditors usually go hand in l^an^d. Business in 1930. ing the have been Many expressions co business outlook for published at the turn ^f the year, the consensus appearing to be that while there may be a perceptible slowing down here and there the general pros pect is favorable. One of the most conservative state ments recently issued, afid one which well represents the average opinion of business leaders is that of John E. Edgerton, president of .the National Association of Manufacturers. Not ing that the pessimists are forecasting storms, while the optimists see only blue skies, Mr. Edgerton says: “Taking the middle position, I can observe little on the horizon today to give us undue or great concern. Barring a few inevitable disruptions liere and there, I believe the immedi ate future-is safe.” Out of a large number of members of his association recently questioned, 69 per cent report an increase in their forces, while 91 per cent have in creased wage payments, and 74 per cent are increasing production, as compared with last year. There has been sonje slowing down in automobile lines, chemicals, furni ture, iron and steel, and a few other industries. On the other hand, ex pansion on a large scale is promised t in public utilities and railroads, an unusual program for the construction of public buildings, roads and other public works is announced by the government and various Ststes, sales efforts in practically all will be pushed with vigor. From present indications should be at least an everage business year, if not above the average. their cotton fields. When an object hits bottom it flther lie* dormant or rebounds, and Barnwell rebounded. Hon. J. E. Harley, a member of the House from Barnwell, cites figures which show, how hig county redis covered the road to prosperity after being lost in the wilderness of pov erty for several years. According to Mr. Harley, 1 Barnwell’s asparagus, watermelon and cucumber crops brought into the county thig year the total of $1,006,000. The returns from cotton (and this was a good cotton year) brought $975,000. Before the advent of the boll weevil Barnwell was a big cotton producing county. Its normal crop was around 40,000 bales. This year it made only 13,000 bales, but the million dollars the county received from its trucking industry more than offsets the losses shown in the difference between the present and former cotton yields.

The Barnwell grand jury talked right out in meeting recently. Here is a paragraph from the presentment it made: M We beg most seriously to call to the court’s attention the fact that, in our opinion there is an apparent wilful negligence on the part of the officers of the county charged with the en- forcementi'of the prohibition law. They bring before us only small trivial cases and fail absolutely in appre hending the well known and notorious violators of the law.” Barnwell is not the only county in which that alleged condition is be lieved to exist. All over the country there is a feeling that the higher-ups an violation of the prohibition law those who make big money out of moenshining or bootlegging, go un- whipt of justice while, from time to tame, their catspaws are taken in the toil*.- - It is even alleged fhat when the retailing agents are jailed or put on the gang, the higher-ups arrange Tx>nd, 'employ counsel and everr pay their agents a salary while they are Incarcerated, so as to keep them from squealing. Soon as released they re turn to their old haunts and pursuits. Violation of the prohibition law can Wo more be broken up by such tactics than disease can be cured by treating its symptoms instead of its cause. * What is needed is to put the higher Wps where they belong, in stripes at hard labor on the public works.— Dorchester County Record.
