Entered at the poet office at Barnwell S. C., aa second-claaa matter. SUBSCRIPTION RATES: Year 81.60 Montha — JO Three Month* ,60 (Strictly in Advance.) • THURSDAY, APRIL 30TH. 1931. Well, junt what did Governor Black wood say at that now famous supper in Columbia? v " In a speech one day last week, State Senator John F. Williams, of Aiken, declared that the new>Tpapers “ain’t worth a damn.” The news papers have the tame opinion about a lot of th e legislators. State Senator John F. Williams, of Aiken, is said to have “sobbed” dur ing one of his speeches in the Senate a few days affo. Far be it from us to sURge-t that he now be referred tW as “Cryin’ John” Williams. Representative Max A.. Green, of Anderson has drawn a bill to increase the pay of members of th,. genet ul aasembiy from $400 to $1,000 a year, if it be true that the laborer is worthy uf his hire, then some of the members are over-paid now. After mature deliberation, we haw come to the conclusion that four- year terms for Stat t . off ic a Is are not the penacea for our political ills that they wete cracked up to Ik*. It may Le true that they “do not hav e to play politic*" in the administration of their office*, hut by the same t ken it gives them more latitude for “the public be damned” attitude com mon to the peanut-type <»f politician. After all is said and done, four-year terms seem to favor the politicians more than they do the "deer peepul.” gene. A bonus would come in mighty handy right now.” , SUDIE: “Lookat old Mrs. Crabtree over there trying on that pink lingerie. If I had her figger. I’d go to a cotton gin and have them bale me up with bagging and ties. She looks like a bungalow in transit.” JUDIE1 “I liave been leaning a lit tle towards over-weight myself her e of late, hut yeast and leaving off Irish a pair of cotton hose, but they looked fine—aa liar as I could see. potatoes ia holding me <k>wn. By the *® P rov ' of vcr » much benem ^ thc way, got ft stick of gum; Tin sorter !<>uth - "*» ^ if y ou ’ U do Wrigley.” SUDIE: “Ain't got none." Tell me the Redds i« about busted. The old man couldn’t meet 4>ia last Buildinir and Loan, and the man told John that they-= didn’t intend to 'let him skip more than two dues. Thank goodness we have kept ours up, but you see, John re-financed hisself.” JUDIE: Things is mighty this spring with everything else so* cheap. ThfTn hose there ought to fetch about 25 cents and no more. I got a pair of ’em last week and I had to leave Mrs. Smith’.* before the party was half over. They stajrted a njn at my ankle and the last timej looked down, they wak still tunning and they self—‘$1.98 gone; and in a minute L was gone too. Couldn’t possibly stay :.r halT 0ndre*sed.” SUDIE: “Get a servant now?” * JUDIE: “Nope- YqqJ” SUDIE: “A girl comes every Tues day and stays till Wednesday. Hafter give het a dollar iusL-Xjr that.

The attitude of many members of the genera assembly in rcguid to tax ing “big business” for fear it will “drive new indus*^!.-* from the State" reminds us of Aesop’s Fable about the deg crossing a stieam with a piece of meat in his mouth. He »w hi 8 greatly magnified reflection *■ the water and dropped the meat that he had in a fruitless effort to get what he thought wa* a larger piece. - The pioposed hydro-electne tax was fought by members of the House ^ l of Representatives on the ground that it would discourage the location of new industries ia South Carolina, this chimera totally obscuring their vision of the plight that agi icuJture, the basic industry, is now in. They mre willing to continue burdening real estate with taxes while refusing to levy a tax on electric current which Senator Biown, of Barnwell, says is sold in many instances for 16 times the coat of production. * While we do net advocate "new source? of revenue" for th t . put pose of keeping up State officials’ and em ployees’ war tim? standard of living, we do advocate them for the purpose of reducing the property tax. - doe- without! or get s something at the cuffing shop.” JUDIE: “You shipping this morn* ing too?” ...
