Bright Idea That May Have Averted Tragedy Allusions to the effective use of ridi cule against his opponents made by the late Lord Balfour during the term of his chief secretaryship for Ireland recalls an incident of long ago, when a body of convicted prisoners who had been concerned In one of the rebel lions—the 1848—had to be marched through the streets of Dublin. The authorities had been warned that a desperate attempt at rescue might be made by the mob and even though a military escort had been provided, there was some uneasiness. In these circumstances a really brilliant notion occurred to the officer in command of the troops. He gave instructions at the last moment that the suspender buttons on the trousers of the prison ers were to be cut off and thus they bad to walk through tho streets hold ing up their tronsers. The spectacle was greeted with roars of laughter by the crowd, and no more was heard of the attempted rescue.—Montreal Fam ily Herald. v , ' ^ \ Males Alone Vocal The fabled henpecked husband may well took with envy upon life in the Insect world, for there, according to Kayuipnd L. Ditmars of the New York zoological gardens writing in Boys’ life, ft is the male who makes all the noise, the female being condemned to eternal silence. The chief singing insects, says Mr. Ditmars. are crickets, locusts and katydids., The males of ‘‘all these in jects sing by rubbing the forward edges of the wings, which, when close ly examined, look like mica. These •re the resonating or striduluting or gans. In the female they are lacking. However, t^e males more than make up for their mutes’ silence. The vol- tune of sound produced by these small creatures is astonishing.” Relatives Benny-, age eight, had attended a tamlly reunion and was one of the most Interested of all the guests. He heard his mother later telling a friend about the gathering. “And all our Tn-laws’ were there, too,” she said. Next day Benny was assigned to •■tectain a caller, president of the cul ture club his mother belonged to while his mother slipped Into another dress. Benny drew on all his powers of de- seription in telling her about the fam ily reunion. “And all our outlaws were there, too,” he said proudly. *TUas« Stand By” This phrase, so commonly used by radio broadcasters, signifies “Be ready, 4a wait for further messages or pro- ■grum, keeping the receiver In opera tion and tuned to the same frequency.” This use has probably been adopted from the nautical term “to stand by,” because the radio at first was em ployed largely in connection with ship ping. The sailor is ordered to stand by the anchor or the main sheet, in readiness for the nest order with re gard to it.

INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP IC—Anawering God’s Call. TOUNO PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP IC—Work That Scrvea God. *■ h* we e I. The Call of Amos (1:1). He was a herdsman and gatherer of sycamore fruit (7:14). As a herds man his Income was not sufficient, therefore, he supplemented it by sell ing sycamore fruit. He was not a prophet by succession, neither was he trained In the prophetic schools. He sat not at the feet of any great teach er. God called him from a humble 'life to stand before the king. A proph et is one who forthtells more espe cially than foretells. His primary work was proclaiming God’s message rather than predicting events to come. II. To Whom Was Amos Sent (1:!)? God sent him primarily to Israel, the northern nation. Though he was from Judah, his ministry was to be pri marily to Israel. It was during the reign of Jeroboam II when the north ern kingdom had reached its highest state of prosperity. This prosperity, as is usually the case, was accom panied with a condition of luxury, cor ruption. and gross wickedness. III. Amos' Message. 1. Sins denounced (2:6-8; 6:1-6). (1) Avaricious greed (2:6-8). a. Sold the righteous for silver (v. 6). • The judge for a bribe of silver de clared the innocent ty be guilty. b. Sold the poor for a pair of shoes. The word ’‘shoes” doubtless means sandals, the price of which was com paratively small. c. Pants after the dust of the earth (v. 7). The word “pant” means to eagerly desire. So avaricious had these men become that they even grasped after the earth which the downtrodden poor cast upon their heads in mourning their misery. , d. Turned aside the way of the meek. These grasping rich men turned aside those who did not stand up for their rights. e. Licentiousness (v. 7). It was not merely the case of fall ing Into sensuous sin but indulgence with a definite purpose of insulting God and dishonoring his holy name. ‘ (2) Reckless security (6:1-3). They were living In a “fool’s para dise” and closing their eyes to the ap proaching storm of judgment predicted by the prophet. They regarded their city us impregnable. The strength of a nation is Us righteousness, not its wealth and armaments. (3) Luxury (vv. 4-6). Their luxury expressed Itself in: a. Extravagant furniture (v. 4). They had beds of ivory, which means perhaps wood inlaid with Ivory. b. Laziness (v. 4). Many stretched themselves on their couches, living lives of Indolence. c. Feasted on delicacies (v. 4). They bought what they desired re gardless of its cost. d. Adprned their feasts with music (v. 5). They sang idle songs, even invented musical instruments for this purpose. e. They drank wine (v. 6). They drank from bowls, indicating excessive drinking. Though their feasts were adorned with refinement of mus ic, they ended in drunkenness. (4) They failed to grieve for Joseph (v.6). Joseph here stands for Ephraim and Manasseh. 2. The remedy proposed (5:4-9). The prophet called upon them to return to God. He said, “Seek ye me and ye shall live.” The implication is that while as yet the divine judgments are stayed an opportunity is offered for them to turn to God. “Seek” means applying for help. The time to repent is while judgment is stayed. In their turning to God they were to renounce: (1) Idolatry (vv. 5,6). They were to turn away from the places of idolatry—Bethel, Gilgal. and Beersheba. Gods judgment was to strike these places. (2) Cease to perxert judgment (v 7). Turning Judgment to wormwood Im plies the bitterness of the perversion of Judgment to the Injured. (3) Cease to dethroae righteousness. Leaving off righteousness Is thought to mean that unrighteousness was al lowed to take lt« place. He now for the third time urged them to seek the Lord Point A half re* to nr and more the Repub lican party ha« been erecting tariff laws to protect Aeriran labor from the competition of “the pauper labor of Europe.** At the same time, the protected manufacturers imported millions of pauper laborers of Europe, Italians, Poles, Slavs and others, espe cially from Southern and Southeastern Europe, to work in the iron foundries, steel mills and factories of Pennsyl vania, New Jersey and the other manufacturing centers. Until comparartively recent years the standard of living in the mill dis- vtricts of Pittsburgh, for example, was actually low’er than it was on the plantations of the Southern States when they were operated by slave labor. For proof of the statement, see Theodore Dreiser’s descriptions. Hundreds of millionaires and multi millionaires were created in the East by the Republican tariffs and the vast importations of European work ers wore given long hours at low wages, and so they drove out thous ands of native Americans. That was how the protective tariff law g affected American industry until at last the people became alarmed and the Congress adopted measures re stricting immigration. “Protection of American labor’’ was a lie and a sham until it was pro tected from invading hordes of im poverished Europeans. The “pauper goods” were kept out of the country and the paupers them selves were imported. Farmers and others, deprived of European gbods, paid the high prices that the tariffs imposed and thus cresfted the multi millionaires. A similar process with precisely the same effect is going on in agriculture in California, Arizona and parts Texas. Th&WL great planters, many of them corporation planters, largely on lands made fertile by irrigation at government expense, are producing cotton with imported Mexican labor. These Mexicans are brought across the border and employed in great numbers espeeillay at cotton picking time and other seasons when demand for workers is at peak. Picture a cot ton plantation in one of the South-; western States owned by a corpora tion and having 5,000 acres in culti vation. How is the cotton to be pick ed? These States have not large negro populations. 1 There are industries paying higher wages that attract native workers, in cluding negroes. Thus are million aires created in the cotton business, and many of them live thousands of miles from the plantations. The abuse is even gi eater thanl was that of the importation of Europeans to wark in the Eastern factories. The Europeans came with the intent of being converted ultimately into Am erican citizens. Most of them now are naturalized American citizens ; but the Mexicans remain Mexicans. Their labor produces hundreds of thousands of bales of cotton to be sold in competition with the cotton of Alabama and South’Carolina. The great plantations of the Southwest could not be operated without them. It is a fact that nobody denies. Is it any wonder that white men and their families are driven from South Carolina farms to beg for work in cotton mills and that the wages in the cotton mills are kept down? Such is the argument that James F. Byrnes has rung the changes upon in his contest for United States sena tes The beauty of it is that it is a practical point. It actually contains the promise of substantial relief and help to the cotton farmer. , It is one of the few proposals of assistance to the cotton grower found ed in plain common sense and common justice that has been made in the last ten or twenty years. These Southwestern planters are allowed to pursue precisely the same course that is pursued by the gieat mine owners of South Africa who use negro tribesmen and Asiatic coolies by tens of thousands. The system is so patently opposed to American policy that even a Demo cratic mintxity ia congress would pro bably tBrreed »* breaking >: up What mdmd In • loader to make the ?! milled. He e*e 1* «••greet le hero pervetsed It or te he** thought the expoeere of It worth while Byrne* It. He has studied It and he understands It He has hit upon the moot practical plan for the help of the cotton grower that ha s been suggested. At least the South Carolina growers of cotton should be saved from unfair competition with the labor of foreign peons. For that Byrnes is fighting. It is a fight founded in justice and in common sense. It is a fight for fain play. , IT IS A GOOD FIGHT.—News and Courier. 6 6 6 Relieves s Headache or Neuralgia in 30 minutes, checks n Cold the first day, and checks Malaria in three days. 666 also in Tablets Legal Advertisements NOTICE FOR BIDS FOR TRANSPORTATION OF PUPILS In compliance with Section 3 of Act No. 806 passed by the 1930 session of the South Caiolina General Assembly, notice is hereby given that bids will be received on August 29th t 1930, by the Barnwell County Board of Education for the transportation of high school pupils in the following districts: Long Branch, District No. 8, to Barnwell High School.
