So is the <fctt>p of peanut politicians. Ain’t nature grand? With Democratic victory seemingly assured this year, somehow we just can’t help feeling a little bit sorry for some of our fellow citizens in the county who forsook the party of their fathers and “jined up” with the Republicans in the hope of getting a place at the pie-counter. It is not at all surprising to clear thinking people to learn that another one and a half million dollars will be added to the State deficit thi* year because revenue fails to meet expenditures. The last legislature .wa» amply warned of existing condi tions artu in fairness to Barnwell County’s representatives in the House and Senate we are glad to recall that -they worked for a reduction in the appropriation bill. Many of the high-taxers fell by the wayside in the .recent primaiy elections and it is believed that the incoming solons will take cognizance of the inability of (the people to continue to pay and pay and pay for wasteful extrava gance. The only hopeful thing about the present condition of South Caro lina’s finances is the inability of the State to borrow any more money. Barnwell Is an “Average County.’ Tuesday afternoon of last week, when the writer was repotting Barn well County election returns to the Associated Press in Charlotte, N. C., he asked the A. P. man how the sena torial election was running through out South Carolina. “The vote for Senator Smith is running about like it is in your coun ty,” he replied. His reply was snap judgment, of course, but just to . e ee how near right he was, we figured the percentage of Senator Smith’s vote with reference to the total number of ballots cast for him and former Senator Blease in the second primary election and found that it was about 67 percent, while in Barnwell County his per centage was a little more than 58. When it comes to voting, therefoie, Barnwell is an “average county” in comparison with the rest of the State. In many other respects it is well above -the average. The Perennial Candidate. “The talking 1$ all over now for two yearsr. That’s all I can say now.” Thus spoke the perennial candidate, Coleman Livingston Blease, who has probably sought public office and been defeated more often than any other man in South Carolina today, follow- iag his recent defeat by Senator Smith. The record shows that he fl/st became a candidate for an office when barely 21 years of age—and he haa been a • vote-seeker regularly since then. His first public statement after the second primary last week is in- terjxrtetted by some political obser vers to mean that he may throw his hat in the ring for governor two years hence, there being an election for that office in 1934. Each time in the past that “Coley” haa gone down in defeat, his oppon- aata have heaved a sigh of relief and hoped that South Carolina was through with his candidacies for good nmi all.'' In the face of his over whelming defeat September 13th, hi? latest cryptic pronbuncement shows that he is still a glutton for punish- ment. livan, who feared months ago that the nomination of Franklin D. Roose velt would 1 spell the inevitable defeat of Herbert Hoover, did his utmost to persuade the Democrats not to nomi* nate the New York governor, day by day impressing upon them the futili ty of such a course if they hoped to win. Referring to the Republican de bacle in Maine, Mr. Sullivan writes in part as follows: “The Democrats have the Republi cans on a hot-spot. The Republicans are the victims of a ‘squeeze play.’ ” Never before, in 76 years, has a straight Democratic candidate for governor of Maine won on the eve of an election for the presidency. And the Maine barometer is not alone in forecasting the outcome of the battle of the ballots in November. Straws show the way the wind is blowing and all “.straw ballots” so far show Roosevelt leading Hoover. First re turns in * the Literary^ Digest’s poll, which is held to be very accurate, forecast the election of Roosevelt. When the Maine election was held only 79 ballots from that State had been received by The Digest. Forty of them were for Roosevelt and 39 were for Hoover, which, The Digest claims, is about the margin of Demo cratic victory in Maine last week. Early returns in The Digest poll from New York and Pennsylvania showed Roosevelt in the lead, and a few of the polls taken in widely separated sections of the country have shown the following results: Minnesota State. Fair polling booth at St. Paul: Roosevelt 10,697; Hoover 4,826. Asbury Park (N. J.) Press, firtal vote, Monmouth County: Roosevelt 4,773; Hoover 2,324. Final vote in Ocean County: Roosevelt 512; Hoover 348. Point Pleasant (N. J.) Tribune: Roosevelt 92; Hoover 53. Dayton (Ohio) News: Roosevelt 2,- 080; Hoover 998. M ichigan City (Indiana) News: Roosevelt 136; Hoover 72. Springfield (Illinois) State Regis ter: Roosevelt 2,966; Hoover 904. St. Cloud (Minn.) Times-Journal: Roosevelt 523; Hoover 155. Denver News: Roosevelt 336; Hoover 140. Seattle Times: Roosevelt 7,890; Hoover 2,430. Sacramento Bee: Roosevelt 2,590; Hoover 183. (This is in Hoover’s own State of California.) .Apparently, the only hope that the Republican high command has at this time is that the Democrats will commit some costly blunder in the six weeks before the genera! election. Otherwise, it appears now that Hoover will taste the same bitter cup of defeat that he handed to his opponent, A1 Smith, four years ago. ing “pork”—and spending money foolishly. Five year-old billy goats would use better judgment than some of our public servants (?.) have used in their: political tirades during the past few years. Is the citizenship of the country 4ick and tired of this thing? You just wait till the votes are counted. There are going to be hundreds of high hats vthat will be retired to the clothes closets at home by the time frost setles itself On the punkin vines. • 1 ain’t exactly mad at anybody, but I don’t like to lick 3-cent stamps, nor do I enjoy paying too much for gas and oil, neither can I smile when my bank book is returned with a 2- cent debit for every check I have been able to float during the previous month, and then there are many other things worse than these. I am going to stop fight here before I pay sometl'lhg that the printer won’t won’t print. Love Is Blind, But Not Dumb. 1 went to a picture show last night. There wasn’t anything unus-* ual about that:—I go nearly every time I get hold of a dime, and that’s nearly once every month. Our pic ture shows take half of the time to explain what theyare going to ex ploit from now on. mmmmmmmmmrn After they got thru telling us on the screen what pictures they would have Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, next week, week after next, wreck after that, and sev eral more weeks, the main feature began. some hair, color gray onner count of age as he looked to be 45 years old and ewidently he worried hie hair gray since hoover prosperity set ity anyone wishing to claim his remains can have same by paying for digging him up and for the coffin which cost the county 11$ he had a mark on his inside coat pocket and the jury kinder thinks his name was mr. shaffer mark, but no address was on same, he wore a blue coat, and a white hat and black britches and a shirt at the time someboddy knocked him in the head with a fence rail and left him laying dead on the side of the highway. our poleesman says he has ty/o fine clues for the culprit who killed him. he won’t tell what it is, but the mayer thinks it is the tracks of a car that was running on 2 rims and allso a pair of specs, he was a mar ried man, you could tell this as none of his clothes had anny buttons on them, and his socks needed darning. .* A Nobody’s Business 1 By Gee McGee. X ♦♦♦❖❖❖***x»w~:~x~:->x~x~x-x* Subject: “The Mess We Are In.” When I look around I frequently wonder Jf our country could have been in any worse fix if we had ffone to some respectable asylum 8 or 10 years ago and picked out 25 or 30 of its nicest lunatics and turned our af- faiis of government over to them to be administered. About seven-eights of our States and counties and cities are busted, rim to center. They ar‘e without ca-'h or credit. They have bought and borrowed and bought until they don’t know which end itches. They have voted bonds at home and in the legislatures till they can’t even figger up one years interest much less pay it. Why, even our Uncle Sam my is as broke as a “bant.” Straws in the Wind. t The Democrats are jubilant over the results of the Maine election last •nek when that State’s voters turned ea the Republican party and elected • Democratic governor and two out ®f three congressmen. It presages victory for the hosts of Democracy November, this fact being recog- aisad by no leas a person than Mark MBvan himself, expert political for President Hoover. Mr. Sul- They have created bureaus, com missions and other agencies that overlaps one another like a blanket overlaps a katy-did. They have mil lions of men and women employed in perfectly useless undertakings and it is as hard to dislodge cne of these employees as it is to get rid of a bureau or a commission--and such a thing as that is impossible. It costs 75 cents |to sharpen a government pencil in Washington. It takes 4 dollars to unlqck the front door of an office building. Tf the front steps of the Capitol needs to be swept off, there’s 50 dollars more gone. They are tearing down, raz ing, destroying and wrecking as good budding* as any .wealthy nation ought to own—for no mason in the world except to waste more millicns, building better buildings that are not needed. This was a talking picture, .but the couple in front of me did ell of the talking. They were in love. Any body could .tell that from the way they leaned on one another. Every little while she’d look at him and grin like a screech owl and say “Joe, your hand is ju-X as cool.” And he’d say, “That means a hot heart, honey.” This was the first couple I ever saw that cou’d court, eat goobers enjoy a pictuie, hug, chew gum bump heads and look at a pictuie at the .-ame time. He ran a filling sta tion: I could tell by the gasoline. She clerked in a store, she had 2 lipsticks with her. Her head was as bushy as a bru-h. He had his head mushed up too. He was a “no hat” type boy. They talked aboyt the picture occasionally, but they did not seem to understand jt very well. Every time the hero would kiss the sh.ro, they would lean hauler and harder against one another.. They sat like this occasionally (o-o), but most of the time, they sat like this (oo). They couldn’t discern the difference between pathos and fun: they both laughed at the wrong time. A picture house ain’t a very goed place to make love. This boy and that girl had no idea that there was anybody in the theatre except them, the other 750 souls were not of a single thought—whose hearts beat as one—like their souls end heart.® were beating. They had some candy along.. And he had Yd see by her wrist-watch what time was about every 5 minutes, tfe gave her that watch at her last birthday, he told the stranger in front of them. 1 stood them and the show as long as I could. They were still af- fectionating when I left. They were on the verge of matrimony, it looked like to me. She seemed to be about 13, but he was at least 14. May they live happy ever after’, but I hope won’t pick my night to go to the talkies—to talk. Bad News From Flat Rock. a man was found dead on the south end of flat rock last week and he is unknown, he was advertised in the paper, but nobody claimed his corps, he looked verry much like a furriner, but was possibly a yankee, as he had some monney in his pocket which amounted to c85. a big inquest was hell over his remains and the evvidence looked like he was knocked in the head with a blunt instrument and robbed but the jury said he was not robbed as his monney was still intact in his pocket when the diseased was picked up. the kurriner sent the jury back for a better verdict and they then decided that he was struck betwixt the pavement and the railroad by a fast mowing object, and come to his death by being killed with an otter- mobeel or some other swift mowing vehicle unknown to the jury. Business and individuals are b.»- he was 6 feet long and had • ing taxed to death—just for the small beard and a few whiskers, color joy our politicians get out of crest- 1 black, and 2 eyes, \color blue r and It was a sad case: getting killed away from home, and a nice funnertd was giwen him by rehober church and a collection was took up to pay for a bunch of flwers which was sent by the town counsel which met in exective session after he was found dead near the city, i will rite or foam you if i find out who he * was and why he got killed. yores trulie, ^ s mike Clark, rfd. corry spondent. » ♦ ♦♦ ADVERTISE IN The People- Sentmel.
