TREES.
T (Kink that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree.
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.

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-

ism, nor did he attempt to array class
again>t class in his campaign, with
the resultant bitterness and ill feel
ing. 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

The inter-state commerce com
mission has certainly been a friend to
the truck and but operators. 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.

New York.—^Liverpool came in nine
points lower/than due in sympathy
with the yeak-dollcD. The market
fluctuated/modestly today and eased
off near/noon cr possibly later. De
mand appeared predicated by politics,
and so did stocks ami bonds. New
Orleans was easier cn advice from Hoo
eyy Long who can’t be sued for any-
ing, but they say that long was
short after the election. Spots sold
lower on boll weevil and rain news
from Texas. Some plowing up of
cotton has taken place in poor spots
by the department of agriculture and
at least 25 acres will be destroyed
next I during the growing season—which
will reduce cultivated acreage to 48,-
