THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 1980 - .IN I — fM- Good fJttlo Men. The style in which the Barnwel boys played football Friday oftemoon against the Columbia high “B” team is just another instance where “good little men” proved themselves the equal of “good big men.” In fact, the Barnwell good little men proved them selves better than the good big men, for whereas the score might indicate an even game, jt must be remembered that the local lad s were handicapped by the lack of reserve strength while the visitors had an impressive array of fresh material which they could and did send in against boys that had been tired and weakened in a gruel ling contest. v The fact that the Co lumbians could not win with the ad vantage of both weight and reserve strength in their favor speakg highly for the fighting spirit of the Barnwell boys and the excellent tactics that have been taught them by their coach, Prof. W. R. Price, who is himself a football player of great ability. The Barnwell team has played great brand of football throughout the entire season and the spirited fight that its members staged Friday was all that any team’s supporters could ask for or expect. All of us are proud of the record “our boys” hav<* made under “Monkey” Price’s ,direc tion, and it is understood that some thing more than mere words of praise will be given them to show that ap preciation. To the Fourth Generalion. r Mr. Quincy A. Kennedy, II, of Wil- liaton, S. C., brought a picture of Quincy A., HI, to Mr. David Slusky yesterday and promised to bring the young man himself up sometime soon and thus introduce Mr. Slusky to the fourth generation of the W. H. Ken nedy family. The busineM connection and per- •onal friendship between Mr. Slusky amd the Kennedys began in 1888, when Mr. Slusky, who had then been in business for himself only three years, placed a roof on a brick store for Captain W. H. Kennedy, who was a prominent merchant of Williston, and ever since that time the Kennedy Department store at Williston has bandied Slusky products and there has been a close friendship between the veteran Augusta merchant and capi talist and the Kennedy family. Mr. Q. A. Kennedy, son of Captain W. H. Kennedy, continued the connection with Mr. Slusky after his father died and Mr. Quincy Kennedy, the second, when he entered the firm, became a close friend of Mr. Slusky and now, ms stated, the fourth generation is brought into the picture upon the in troduction to_Mr. Slusky of Quincy A., Ill, a great grandson of Captain W. H. Kennedy. He is a lad of about five year s of age. The Chronicle points to this story •with pride since it shows that for practicaly forty years theie have been close business and personal re lations between the House of Ken nedy on the one hand and the House of Slusky on the other, and each, with principles of high integrity and fair dealing, has gone along through the years and prospered. Mr. Slusky has in business with bim hi 8 ? on, Mr. Moses Slusky, and the career begun in 1886, 44 years ago, has continued through the years 4md the business of Slusky ha s pros pered, while its founder has taken a foremost part in civic affair s of the community, being a recognized leader In all things pertaining to the good of Augusta. The Kennedys have been the same type of citizens of Williston that Mr. Slusky and son have been in Au gusta and The Chronicle contratu- lates them both, and we predict that both establishments will operate on tlurough the years, growing in pros- ferity and /public esteem because they recognize that any business that is mot founded on the highest principles of honesty and integrity is a business that is not worthy of the name.—Au- Chronicle. Officer of Bamberg Is AUedgely Short Misappropriation of $5,224.57 School Funds la Charged in Report of Grand Jury. Bamberg, Nov. 20.—W. D. Rowell, auditor and superintendent of educa tion of Bamberg County, is charged in a special report of the county grand jury, filed last night in the clerk of court's office, with forgery, fraud and official misconduct, and the solic itor ig directed to accordingly prepare bills of indictment against the official to present to the grand jury at the next term of court which convenes in February. The clerk of court is also directed to immediately forward a copy of the presentment together with a copy of the special account ants report, to Governor John G. Richards, with the petition that Row ell be suspended and removed from office. The special presentment follows an investigation continuing over a period of several weeks. The investigation was begun at the September term of general sessions court, and when it was found that it could not be com pleted in time for regular present ment to the court, Acting Judge Geo- Warren, of Hampton, authorized the grand jury to proceed with its in vestigation and file the report with the clerk of court. In Office Ten Years. Rowell ha,} been auditor and sup erintendent of education for some ten or twelve years, succeeding his father, R. W. D. Rowell, who had held office for a number of years. The officer is specifically charged with issuing school warrants to him self for teachers’ dues to the state' association, issuing school warrants for furniture and fixtures which he i 8 unable to account for, issuing war rants for school furniture after the furniture had been returned, raising a county board voucher after it had been signed, issuing warrants to him self for summer schooj teachers' sal aries, converting to hig personal use funds paid him by Barnwell and Beaufort Counties for the Southeast ern Summer school, converting to his own use funds paid to him by patrons of the Ehrhmrdt school district, fixing the name of E. P. Allen, superintend- of the Bamberg public schoolg and s member of the board of education, to the greater portion of these illegal warrants without authority. The report of the accountant, W. H. Rousseau, of Orangeburg, who was employed by the grand jury, accord ing to the presentment, shows that Rowell has illegally appropriated to his personal use school fund* of Bamberg County in a total amount of $5,224.57, and the officers are called upon to immediately take steps to collect the bond of the officer which is for $3,000.00. Advise Higher Bonds. The leport further calls attention to the alleged fact that in many of the smaller schools of the county a heavy burden i s imposed on the taxpayers because of the small enrollment, and it is further stated the grand jury has received information that some teachers in ruial schools do not hold the required certificates and do not attend summer school. More ade quate bonds for all county officers are recommended, and a new form of school voucher is suggested which will require itemized statements of the amounts claimed. The presentment is signed by J. H. A. Carter, foreman, and all of the other seventeen members of the grand jury. For the last several weeks Mr. Row ell has been confined to his home by illness, but is now able to be out. In addition to his duties as dual county official, he is also editor of the Bam berg County ' Times.—News* and Courier. the Vice-Presidency and was again defeated. In 1858 he was defeated by Douglas. One failure after another—bad fail ures—great setbacks. In the face of all this he eventually became one of the country’s greatest men, if not the greatest. fr When you think of a series of set backs like this, don’t it make you feel small to become discouraged just be cause you think you are having a hard time in life?—Business Machines. Senate Office Building Get* a Beauty Parlor Washington.—The senate bss taken a long step toward equal rights for women. A beauty parlor has been e» tahllshed In the senate office building! It was installed primarily for the convenience of the many stenog raphers and secretaries employed by senators, although the senate candi dacy of Ruth Hanna McCormick of Illinois also may have had something to do with it. The senate, known as a club for “men only,” first showed signs of weakening last session when it per mitted women in the senate chamber for the first time. The Easiest Way A young girl was talking the other day of what she desired to do with her life. While nobody appeared to know of any special aptitude she had for anything, she discussed the pos sibility of becoming an artist or writer. It was evident that these tilings sag gested effort, for after a while she said languidly: “T don’t know. Perhaps I shall just marry.” v Nautical Difficulties Sharon’s mother bought her a toy sailboat and fold her to put some water In the Imthtuh and sail. Fif teen minutes later Sharon came out on the front porch with the toy boat in her hand. **Why aren’t you sailing your boat?” asked her mother “Oh. the tub ran over and the boat kept falling out,” replied Sharon calm ly, “and I got tired of putting It back In!” Local and Personal News from Ellenton ARE YOU DISCOURAGED?

A BUSINESS BUILDER Remember this: When Abraham Lincoln was a young man he ran for he Legislature in Illinois, and was jadly swamped. He next entered business, failed, and spent seventeen years of his life paying up the debts of a worthless partner. He was in love with a beautiful, young woman, to whom he became engaged—then she died. Later he married a woman who was a constant burden to him. He then tried to get an appoint ment to the U. S. Land Office, but failed. - Entering politics again, he ran for Congreaa, and waa badly defeated. He became a candidate for the U. S.

The highway department placed the charge on the applications in accord ance with the section of the legislative act which authorized the 50-cent levy. Proceeds from this charge will go to the law enforcement division. A mail ing charge of 10-cents has been on the license applications before and re mains a part of the cost of the license. —The State. FARMERS IN S. C.

So what are we going to do about it ? “Ag a suggestion, the bankers, faimers and county agents should get together and work out a sound ag ricultural program and put it into effect in every county of the State. This must be done, or else the South Carolina farm will revert back to the sage brush whence it came. Permanent Program. “This program must be perihanent. South Carolina is traditionally a sin gle crop State, but such an idea is unsound uneconomical and hazardous, “We wantto raise the standard of ■"a living of the South Carolina farmer, and so, to accomplish this we have worked out five cardinal points which should revolutionize agriculture in the State.” Mr. Wiggins pointed out that credit for production next year would be smaller than it was this year, be cause the fanner hasn’t put the r oe, in the bulk. “ Bat,” be «id. “if you have a well balanced farm in stead of all the acreage devoted to cotton you won’t need so much money. “The banks” declared Mr. Wig gins, “have been the best frineds che farmer has had, but many of them have failed because they stretched the credit of the farmer. Farm credit in 1931 should be used for production and not for consumption. “A program must be worked out for a profitable, full-time, year-ar- ound farm. You are now working on a three-day week, and yet you ask the banks to lend you money to live on for a full year and you are only working 106 days cn the?farm each year.” Dr. Sarele said that it is estimated that there will be five per cent in crease per acre in cotton production next year in the entire cotton belt, while the estimated decrease in acre age will be six per cent. Business Depression. “Economists believe,” said Mr. Sarele, “that the present business de pression which has been in progress for 15 months, will not end until possibly next spring, and that it will be at least December, 1931, before business will be normal again. “Other countries are having their depressions, but they came later than in the United States, and so we can not expect the same support from them in consuming our cotton next year as was the case in the past. “In the last 40 years we have never had two successive years with bad cotton prices, but it is possible that this precedent might be broken now, and we would need to adopt the ‘live at home’ program. “You must cut the price of pro duction and continue to grow cotton, The New Tudor Sedan *495 (F.

The Allendale farmers learned from the speakers that they can make money on hogs during the com ing year. It was pointed out that there are less hogs in South Carolina at the present time than at any time during the past 50 years. The corn crop is short in the United States thi' year, and consequently the product will be relatively high and greater number of hogs will be put on, the market. But this will be made up for next spring, and the number of hogs on the market will be materi ally curtailed. Hog raising, therefore, will be pro fitable, it was pointed out, and a: the same time will allow the farmer^ to distribute some of his labor as called for in the new agricultural program.
