A tree whose hungry mouth is prest Against the earth’s sweet flowing breast; A tree that looks at God all day And lifts her leafy arms to pray; A tree that may in Summer wear A nest of r'obins in her hair; Upon whose bosom snow has lain; Who intimately lives with rain. Poems are made by fool* like me, But only God can make a tree. —Joyce Kilmer. Correct this sentence: * Some of the other teams in the league: “We are not going to de liberately ‘throw’ this game, but we would like to see Barnwell win the pennant.” * Oh, yeah! The Cotton Reduction Movement. As these words are being written, the success or ?ailure of the cotton re duction plan, inaugurated by Preil- dent Roosevelt in an attempt to re- atore prices to a profitable level, is hanging in the balance. Secratary of Agriculture Wallace has put a ban on issuing information about the pro- grea* being made in the effort to get the farmers to sign a sufficient num ber of contract a to curtail production from two million to three mrllion bales this year, so none of us knows what the outcome of the campaign will be. However, one of two things is as sure as death is now and taxes used to be: Either the farmers will cooperate and reduce their acreage now, with resuttant higher pi ices and prosperity, or the plan will fail and the South be doomed to more years of low prices and poverty, the end of which no man can foresee. "The Ix>rd helps those who help themselvee,” and it is also true that the federal government is offering to help the cotton farmers if they will only help themselves. I.et the Southern farmers turn down this opportunity of restoring prices to a profitable level and in the future they wrll be "as one crying in a wilderness" for help, so far as the government is concerned. Let them not forget that. Presidwit Roosevelt cannot h y himself alone put the price of cotton to 12 or 15 cents a pound, nor can any other mortal man. But the farmers • themselves, working along the plan he has mapped out, can do so and with them rests the success or failure of the plan—they and they alone must decide whether cotton will sell for a high price or a low’ one. And once they have written their verdict, let them stand by it and not beg for charity at the hands of the federal government a few shoit months from now. Bleasc and Blackwood. Governor B'.ackw’ood’s pardoning record promf?e? to equal, Tf not sur pass, that of former Governor Blease, whose exercise of executive clemency was roundly scored by the press of the State a couple of decades ago. Governor Blackwood has not issued “a blanket pardon,” as did Mr. Blease on one occasion and we do not have th? figures shewing the number of par dons and paroles issued by the present chief executive, but in a little moie than a month following the adjourn ment of the general assembly May 17th he granted executive clemency at the rate of 3 pardons every 2 days. Prior to that, he had been rather lib eral in the matter of liberating con victs, and with his record as solicitor in mind, prior to his election as gov ernor, the Y'orkville Enquirer re marked last week, “Governor Black wood as a solicitor used to put ’em in the pen, and now as governor his pen turns ’em out.” A. few newspapers have taken Gov ernor Blackwood to task for his rather free use of the pardoning power, .but as a whole their condemnation has not been as bitter as was heaped upon Mr. Blease. One reason for this rasy be found in the fact that the present chief executive had not been in State politics long enough before his elec- “that Little StOAiaHT- Puustl vi carl**, c^h.y.—By B.

He lacks Mr. Blease’s pe.sonali- iy ar.d picturesquenes-, and the strong part’ianship of other campaign years wa* ifc<king whti he nnd Olm D. .’rn i>on made the second race for governor hi 1930. True, air eleventh hour attempt was made to inject fac tionalism and partisanship into that election, but the contest resolve! itseFf more into a campaign of Issues tljnn of men, Blackwood favoring the high way bond isue and Johnson opposing it But if Gcverm r Blackwo >d has gone out of his way to pardon men who were serving just sentences, he should be condemned ju«t as strongly as was Mr. Blease. The exercise of executive clemency was granted to the governor solely for the purpose of correcting a miscarriage of justice, and was not intended to make the chief executive, a sort of super-suprerffb court or to givers politician in that office the rp- p. itumty to reward his "friends ", fcy a wholesale pardoning :f crimmals. Of course, we are n«r. ccquairted with the facts in the rn«es in which Governor Blackwood ha* ’xeiciseJ th* pardoning power. For all we know, each ami every man (or woman) par doned was emitted to the mercy vhown him (or her).

It re fused to let railroads cut fares end freight rates cr meet competition otherwise. Statistics show that 85 percent fewer automobiles ran into trains or vice versa in 1932 than in 1925. That is due to the fact that we have 85 percent fewer trains to get in our way. Yep, they’ve just about busted the railroads.
