, “Peanut Crop Larger Than Was
Anticipated.”—Headline. 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

retired to the clothes closets at home

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

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.

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.
