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?”

The Savannah Evening Press thinks from a litle boy who was also fishing,
that the regulation is. a natural one

follows: Beginning at a point on Ihe

of Ellenton and running south to the

In a iccent editorial, The St.-.te ,Hs-1
cus.-ed the strike of housewiveg inj
Middle Village, New York, against
the high 1 price,, charged by butchers
and green grocers at a time “ *hen
meat pioducts are exceptionally low
As a result they forced a cut in the
price of lamb cKops from ♦»() cent* to
38 cents a pound, while the price of
chickens dropped 10 to 12 cent'* and
that of beef 13 cents.. 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?

vocating a compulsory school attend-

school authorities in Savannah, Ga.,

Many times during the day or week or month, in the ordinary

of the telephone and realize the indispensable part it plays in_
every business and social activity.
Men transact a great part of their business over it Women
use it constantly to rave steps and time in social and household
