SUBSCRIPTION RATES: One Year — $1.50 Six Months .90 Three Months : .50 (Strictlj In Advance.) .THURSDAY,. MAY. 5TH,. 1932.. Shades of Abe Lincoln! A writer usinjf the nom de plume, “A Consistent Republican,” in an ar ticle in Monday’s issue if The State, ascribes the follorwinK quotation to Peter Barnum: “You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can’t fool all of the people all of the time.” Shades of old Abe Lincoln, the patron saint of the G. O. P.! He could tell “A Consistent Republican” that what friend Barnum said was “a sucker is bom every minute,” but they'll have to be bom at a faster rate than that befor^ the Republican party will ever (ret anywhere in South Carolina. . “A Consistent Republican” was badly addled in the matter of the au thor of the above quotation, but even at that he seems to have been about a» well informed as were the delegates to the Hambrbiirht Republican conven tion when they elected two niffirer delegates and two nigger alternates to the national contention without knowing what it wa« all about. or to forward by truck to nearby or diatant ibarkta at auch rates as they can secure from dasr to day from availably truck operators. ' The express company’s service, Mr. Mahaffey stated, is preferred by both growers and dealers and commission house g at the principal markets as the uncontrolled movement by highway truck and the sale of a large part of the crop to the peddlers, it has been found, tends to demoralize markets, which must serve the greatest part of the consuming public. The exprss company has for many years handled the less-than-carload movement of fruits and vegetables from this section and in an-effort to preserve this traffic and aid in the orderly marketing of the coming crop it has reduced it g rates from 25 to 33 1-3 per cent or to practical ly the pre-war level. This reduction is intended a s an experiment to determine whether the growers prefer to continue the long established marketing by express or whether the growing practice of sell ing to highway truckmen and the consequent demoralization of markets and price s to be continued. The Xigirer in the W<odpile. Oh-ho! And likewise, ha-ha! There wa, , a nigger in the woodpile after all. In fact, there were several nig gers carefully tucked away in the list of “lily white” delegates to the national Republican c mention elect ed by the Hambright faction at the State convention in Columbia last week. That body of men and women. H seems, elected two negro delegate* and two negro alternates to the G. O. P. Convention—and, believe it or not, the hand-picked delegates from the various counties didn’t seem to know that they had smeared the spot- lea* ermine of their political robe with the indelible stain of the sons of Ham! So repugnant was this action that two leaders of the State Republican party—George D. Shore, Jr., of Sum ter. and Harry V. Salmons, of Char- leaton—have withdrawn their mem bership*. and the former, h lifelong Republican, made the following state ment in the daily newspapers: “I feel that being brought to the point of doing a thing so repugnant to the nature of a decent white man by man date is even more repulsive than be ing represented by an entire black delegation pickd by choice.” 'If such acti in i* so repugnant to the sensibilities of a man who has been a lifelong R« publican, what an awful stench it must be in the nos trils of recently converted lifelong Democrat# whose forbear* fought for and restorad white supremacy to South Carolina! The leopard cannot change its spots, nor the Ethiopian his hue, nor can the Republican party in South Carolina get away fr m the black and tans. It would seem that other with- drawals from the Republican party in ibis State are ncvw in order. Bears’ Complete Stupor When a bear retires for the winter, his sleep Is very little like ordinary sleep. The state of unconsiousness is muJi deeper aod far more difficult to break. Only one tiling can break this death-like sleep, and that Is tem perature. A rise In temperature quick ly wilt thaw out frogs, toadr and snakes, which, while not listed among the “seven sleepers.” spend the win ter In complete torpor, at about the temperature of the earth around them.
