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-

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

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!”

The extra 50-cent charge on all the
automobile license applications for
1931, mailed from Columbia yesterday,
is, according to the 1930 legislative
act, for the enforcement of motor ve
hicle laws.
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.

FARMERS IN S. C. PLANNING
AGRICULTURAL REVOLUTION
(CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE.)
cotton next year. 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,

but it must be done economically.’
Those present at the meeting went
on record as endorsing the program
outlined by Mr. Wiggins, which was
worked out by the bankers and agri
cultural experts of the State, and
agreed to put it into practice on their
farms during the coming year.
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.
