THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER 7. 1933
The Augusta Chronicle evidently
thinks that Barnwell is a “royal”
town. A couple of week g ago, one
writer referred to Mayor C. G. Fuller
as the “near-emperor” of this baili
wick and a few days later as “King
Fuller.” The Georgia paper’s latest
reference to local “royalty” was a
headline calling Lloyd Plexico “motor-
boat racing king of Barnwell.”
The Initial Age.
Down through the centurie g the pro
gress of mankind has been marked by
various “ages”—the stone age, the
bronze age, . . the machine age.
Now, we seem to be in the initial age,
what with F. D. R. and R. F. C. and
N. R. A. and F. E. R. A. and N. I. R.
A. and so on ad infinitum. “Initial”
means “of or pertaining to the begin
ning.” The beginning of—what?
Why Not a Cotton Holiday.”?
The governor of North Carolina, in
an effort to boost the price of tobac
co in his State, has declared a “tobac
co holiday” and ha, asked the farm-
ara. warehousemen and others to co
operate in keeping the “weed" off of
the market. He also asked Governor
Blackwi'd to take similar action in
South Carolina.
If the plan meets with success, why
not a "cotton holiday” throughout
the South until the price of the
fleecy staple reaches a profitable
price ?
Abolish Government Competition.
The “New Deal” Wages.
The “new deal” wages of SO cents
an hour for common labor, now being
paid by the federal government in re
lief work, are evidently demoralizing
labor in many sectiorig of the State.
A dispatch from Kingstree says that
it is even causing unrest among ser
vants, some of whom are demanding
more pay or shorter hours. “From
farms come reports that negroes who
have been content to work for a dollar
a day . cording wood and other jobs
now openly state they will have to
have their ’thirty cent a hour like de
guv’ment pay.’ ”
A local busines g man expressed the
opinion a short time ago that it is
folly to lead this class of labor, to
believe that they are worth 30 cents
an hour and that it would b* mucli
better to give them the money direct
as a dole. We all know that the
farmer,, cannot pay such unreasonable
wages, even though cotton should
bring a much higher price. Such
wages were not paid when the staple
was 40 cents a pound. It seems to
us that it would be better to refuse
the money entirely rather than
foment unrest and dissatisfaction.

it looks like we make mofe stuff

she do not come under the n. r. a., but

Whither Are We Drifting?
Adclf Hitii^ the German dictator,
scoffs at the democratic doctrine that
“all men are created free and equal.”
It was written into our Declaration of
Independence more than a century ami
a half ag"- Sinc> that time we, as a
nation, have travelt**! "high, wide and
handsome.” Precious little freedom
remains and sundry social skirmishes
ar\d various battles of the ballots have
disproved the equality idea, to say
nothing of the favoritism and nepo
tism practiced by those in authority.
In the closing days of the W’orld
War, the German people revolted
against their kaiser and set up a de
mocracy. In les a than 15 years they
made Hitler dictator, and events in
Germany seem to be shaping them-
aelves for a return to a monarhial
form of government.
The Russian s murdered their czar
and inaugurated a communistic form
of government, with its alleged equali
ty of all classes and its Five-Year
Plan.
After 157 years the American peo
ple—citizens of the greatest demo
cracy the world has ever known—have
given their President wartime power
and authority in a time of peace. He
is to all intents and ipurpose s a dicta-/
tor, though fortunately a benign one
who i s striving to restore some seth-
blance of our vanished and vaunted
prosperity. Various phases of “relief
wqrk,” whereby government under
takes to support the people, inaugu
rated during the incumbency of Her
bert Hoover, have supplanted the
axiomatic truth that the people should
rapport the government.
Will Editor W. W. Ball, of The
Jfew 8 and Courier, follow thia line of
Ifecaght bo its logics! conclusion?
Every once in so often the use of
cotton bagging instead of jute is ad
vocated but in spite of the support/df
the press and the endorsement of the
International Master Cotton Spin
ners’ Association, port authorities,
the agricultural department of the
States and many farmers, slow pro
gress has been made in displacing im
ported J ute -
In commenting on the substitution
of cotton bagging for imported jute.
The Spartanburg Herald says:
“A good quality of cotton bagging
weighs 44 pound, to the bale while
jute weight 12 pounds, a difference of
74 pound*. Cotton js sold by gross
weight and since jute costs lesa than
cotton the farmers have not en-
thus«^ ov cr the proposed change.
They have mt taken into considera
tion that cotton bagging is slow-
burning, while the jute covering is
easily ignited and burn, rapidly. And
i* may be said that most farmers have I
ignored the fact that the covering of
the cotton crop with cotton bagging
would create an annual market for |
300,000 hales of low grade cotton.
"A campaign in the interest of cot- I
ton bagging might he successful at
thi, time when extraordinary effort* <
are hem* made to find new uses for j
cotton. If the cotton grower, would
unite in a movement to uae bagging
A Request Granted.
A pretty little biue-eyed brun
ette approached me the other day and
said—“Say there, mister—I want
you to write me up.” I asked her
what she had done to deserve a terri
ble punishment/and she said she had
n’t done anjfthing, but thought it
would be nice to be written up.
I tolti her I’d take her to ride but
wouldnrt write her up. She sai<i her
pa vyas powerful strict on her; every
she stayed out as late as mid-

it. Once he actually cussed about it,
but that was the time she didn’t get
home till morning.
. i
I asked her if she were a domes
tic type of girl and she said no; and
then she explained* that she didn’t
have time to do no domestics as she
had to cook, and wash dishes and help
with her little brothers and sisters,
but she said she could lean backwards
and touch the ground with he^ nose
and bend back up again. Well, that
shows that she ha
domestics to some extent.

CITATION NOTICE.
flat rock, s. C., sept. 1, 1933 Th e State cf South Carolina,
deer mr. editor:—
please allow me space in yore val-
luble paper to rite a peace for yore
open ferrum on inflation ansoforth.
i think curransey should be inflated
at once and scattered about where the
farmer can get holt to same without
givving his stuff away.
ie secont plank in my flatform
will/be to turn off the highway com
mission and do away with the rail-
ryad commission kind other useless
iuroes that can’t get nothing done
Except where price s of service is to
1>c raised, this seems to he a very
popular plank to run on allso. i will
allso annuli the drivers licents, an
soforth.
i will reckermend the merging of
the penitentiary and the asylum and
the leggislature with the state tax
commission and put the game warden
and fish warden in the offis of the
feed inspector without pay or work,
i will aliao reduce all state, county,
citty and school district taxes 15
mill, or more.
it looks like uncle sam missed a
mighty good chance to inflate when
he put that prossessing tax on cotton
and wheat which it now seems the
poor old farmer is having to absorb,
if he had of inflated his currancey
and paid this tax hisself with same,
and paid all hi s other bills and bonds
and soldiers ansoforth, then cotton
and wheat mought of hell the high
pricses.
i thing it would be a good plan
to make it against the law for a
farmer to pick over half of his cotton
this year and plant but ever third
row next year and kill ever other
mule that is used in growing cotton,
all the wheat on hand excepp enuff
to live on 6 month, ought to be
dumped into lake mitchigan.
