Another “business upturn” has been seen by the president of a larfre corporation. Funny how the depres sion continues in the face of so many Hoover-inspired “upwaid trend” pre dictions. Labor unions are fiRhtinc proposed cats in wuffes,* arffuinj; that high wages alone can lead us out of the slough cf depression. But how can employers pay high wages when they cannot sell their high priced goods to producers of low priced farm pro ducts? There can be no return to real prosperity as long as manufac tured goods remain high in price and farm products, the real foundation of the nation’s wealth, continue below the cost of production. The workman can live more cheaply than he could a year or two ago and the maintenance of the old wage scale amounts to a substantial raise m wages in the in dustrial centers while the farmers are hardly able to eke out an existence. 'Raise the price of farm products to a profitable Iwsis and see how quickly the wheels of prosperity will turn again. ‘ - Prohibition Enforcement. The Southern Baptist Convention congratulates President Hoover on his enforcement of the prohibition Jsw. Commenting thereon, The.Bal timore Evening Sun says that ftO.OOO person,, are sent to jail annually; that it costs $f>0,000,000 to catch them, to say nothing of what it costs to keep them after they are caught and in addition the loss in revenue amounts to $480,000,000 a year. And now comes the Association Against the Prohibition Amendment with the statement that there has been an increase of more than $1,000,- 000 a year in the liquor tratTic since the adoption of the eighteenth amendment and that there has been also an increase in the per capita con- aomption. What whould the mcrea-e have amounted to if President Hoover had not been so zealous in the enforce ment of “the noble experiment?” be allowed to impose upon the time | returned Itome and told hi 8 wife that and patience of the teachers and dower ! he diddefit get a v bite, not. even a the school average of the pupilp who nibble, and explained that he bought are ambitious and word hard/' | the 6 fine trout (he fetched home) The Savannah Evening Press thinks from a litle boy who was also fishing, that the regulation is. a natural one mentioned tract land laid off as follows: Beginning at a point on Ihe public road lea(^§g from th e home place of Samuel J r Bailey to the town of Ellenton and running south to the first corner of the land of C.

The housewives lived on vegetables for five weeks un til the retailed cut their pi ices. Last week several Barmyell ladies visitad a neighboring city where a “Wear More Cotton Movement” was under way. Cotton wealing apparel, including sylish dresses, was * being featured in what, purported to_be an tffoit to help restore King Cotton to; his throne by increasing the demand ; for cotton products.*Instead, however, of finding dresses reasonably priced, as one would naturally expect, the visitors found the reverse to In* true, which causes one to question whether the movement is really designed to help the pioducers of cotton or the city merchants who sell the TTnTfched goods. The demand for cqftoh goods can l>e*t be stimulated by offering real values at reasonable prices, and if the retailers are attempting to pro- ; fitter, a worthwhile movement is drtomed to failure at the outset. As The State pointed out in its editorial relative to the strike of housewives in New York State against high meat prices, there is too much “spread” between the price received by the ptoducerand that paid by the eonsumer, and herein lie* the real “farm problem.” The exper ience <;f the Barnwell ladies would in dicate that the butchers and green gmcers are not the only offenders.

CITATION NOTICE. The Teacher Surplus. Last week five Hungariah-Amei i- cans from Chicago and - Milwaukee toured the eastern and southem counties of South Carolina for the'' purpo*,. of looking over “the lay of the land” in behalf of several thous and* of their compatriots who are now living in the cities of the .Great l^kes region. Usually these immi grants from central and northern Europe make very desirable citizens, in direct contrast to the Capones and others of like ilk from southern Europe: It will be to South Carolina’s advantage to induce them to settle here. We would welcome a “colony” of them in Barnwell County. But while effoits were being made to “sell’ the visitors on South Caro lina, the newspapers were publishing a statement by H. B. Dominick, direc tor of the board of certification of the State department of education, to the effect that this summer there will be about 16,000 white teacher* in this State seeking the 8,800 jobs, or leas, that will be open in South Caro lina; in other words, about two appli cants for every available job. Why go to Chicago and Wilwaukee for land settlers with seveial thous and idle teachers in the State? W« The State of South Carolina, County of Barnweii. By - John K. SnelTing, Esq., Probate j Judge.

MASTER’S SALE.’ A New Departure. W’hile many of South Carolina’s leading educators and others are ad vocating a compulsory school attend- -ance law “with teeth” as a solution to all the ills to which the flesh is heir, school authorities in Savannah, Ga., “have taken a radical step in the op posite direction by ‘dropping from the roll s of students in the high >choolg of that city thos^ who are patently and persistently indifferent to their studies/ Commenting on the new policy, The Columbus, (Ga.) En- <iairer-Sun says: “It is a drastic ac tion, yet one which ig probably neces- dw the schools to idifferent can lower tne morale of ?nany pupils. | function properly.
