THAT LITTLE GAME”*
SALVING A CRAB
The General Assembly.
{fe"
A visitor to the State House in
Columbia can hardly help but be im
pressed with the fact that a majority
of the members of the general as
sembly aie apparently honestly striv
ing to solve some of the grave prob
lems that are today facing our peo
ple and to keep the appropriations for
the State government within the esti
mated revenue and the ability of the
people to pay. At least, that Was the
impression made upon the writer on
the occasion of a recent visit to the
capital city.
It gives us special pleasure to
record that Barnwell County’s mem
bers of the asssembly are right on the
* job, being prompt in attendance upon
the sessions of the legislature and
taking an active and influential part
in its deliberations. Although a new
member of the house, Representative
Solomon Blatt, of Barnwell, is rapidly
making a place for himself in that
body. Both he, Representative Win
chester C. Smith, Jr., of Williston,
and Senator Edgar A. Brown are
popular with their fellow members
and their combined influence should
have weight in shaping the destinies
of the State for the next few years.
True, there are acme free spenders
in both brandies of the general as
sembly who are still “wedded to their
idols,” but on the whole there seems
to be an honest effort to reduce ex
penses to the ability of the people to
pay. Thursday night, during the
debate on the appropriations bill,
when an attempt was being made to
increase the item for the operation
of the 6-0-1 school law from $1,051,-
600, as provided by the ways and
mean s committee, to $2,800,000, Colo
nel Blatt said: “IT. never vote for an
appropriation bill larger than the
anticipated revenue, and I am a
friend of the public schools.”
And that’s the meat in the cacoanut.
South Carolina already has a deficit
cf some $5,000,000 which has accumu
lated during the pad few years be
cause the legislatute has peisisted in
appropriating beyond the State’s
revenue. It is estimated that the
revenue this year will not exceed six
and a half million dollars. To appro
priate that amount will mean no re
duction in the tax burden under which
the pecple are now staggering. Pro
vision must also be made for retiring
the deficit if,the State is to regain its
financial credit.
Like Colonel Blatt, The People-Sen
tinel is a friend cf the public schools,
but we do not believe in the sacrifice
of homes and farms and businesses to
the fetish of education. Let the
legislature reduce every department-of
State government as drastically, as
/possible and then appropriate as
much as possible to the public schools,
within the ability of the people to pay.
That, after all, is the real test. Cer
tainly we do not owe the youth of the
State anything beyond l h at -
We sympathize with the members
of the general assemblby. They have
real problemi to solve and they should
be given the sympathetic cooperation
of the people of the State in helping
in their solution. We believe that if
the house will stick to the course it
is now steering and if the s enate will
approve what the house does, an
easier road is ahead for the taxpayers
of the. -State. _

All of which is well said. Every
once in a while crime gets so rampant
in a big city that the police stage a
mock crusade against criminals, de
spite the graft and their protection
by politicians. Usually the crusade
hag as its objective driving known
criminals out of those cities. That is

I think it would he much better if
we would se'l the Philippines to Japan
instead of just turning ’em over to
her. We might as well move out and

ought to fetch about 1,000,000 yen

I have tried to trade my car for

to accept it as the “down payment”
and, naturally, that a!way 8 broke up

I usually park my car in front of my

then I park it in front of my office as

Schilletter, extension horticulturist,
urging again also that plenty cf vege
tables and greens* are essential to the
best health, especialy children’s
hea’th.
“One of, the first things to do now,”
says Mr. Schilletter in making gen
eral suggestions for planning and
starting a garden, “is to take a new
1933 catalog and make out a list of
the seed you intend to plant—then go
right ahead an< I send in your order
so as to have the setd on hand when
you get ready to plant. This making
out of your order helps you to plan
your garden and decide just what
and how much of each vegetable you
intend t° plant. Do not depend on
cheap seed or those that are easy to
get. Order from a reliable seedsman,
because if you start out with poor
seed all of youi later efforts will be
wasted.

I was talking to a man the other
day ( and he said. “Everything in the
world ha 3 gone down; why ain’t con
ditions normal?” I explained to him
that while everything in the world
that grows out of the earth or is dug
coo of the earth is cheaper, the follow
ing things have not declined:
1.—Postage stamps.
1.—Freight rates.
S.—^Telephone rates, (yet.)
4.—Passenger fares (generally.)
&—Pullman fares.
\
7.—Street ear ride*.
8—Hospital costs.
%—Cutting out gall stones. .
Last Thursday, I walked out to
get in the said car, and - 0 m y very
best friends—friends from whom I
borrow money—had fastened a large
/placard on my sedan which read as
follows:
FOR SALE.
Price, with license tag $15.00
Price, minus license tag 3.00
And that’# what hurt my feelings.
I bought that car brand, spankfired
new in November, 1926. I had it
washed in 1929, painted in 1930, and
washed again in 1931. So you see, I
have taken good care of it. I had the
roof patched in 3 place 3 riot over a
year ago.
