The world wa s made in seven dajs
but there wasn’t any code then.
And in just a few short weeks,
some wise guy will -ne asking, “Is it
code enough for you?”
Our idea of an optimist is a pro
hibitionist who thinks that there is
still a chance to defeat the lepeal of
the 18th Amendment.
While “the forgotten man” has
Iroen c-auaing President Roosevelt some
concern the "forgetting man” has
been causing business people to sit
up nights and worry.
France wants to buy three million
bales of American cotton on credit.
Let's »ee—how many bales did she buy
with American loans that she now
generously offers to settle at ten
cent* on the dollar?
We see by the papers that in the
list of delegates appointed by Gover
nor Blackwood to carry the farmers’
message to Pre«ident Roosevelt,
Claud N. Sapp is designated a "farm
er-lawyer” while Neville Bennett i* a
“lawyer-farmer.” Is this a distinc
tion without a difference?
We see by The Press and Standard
that the Walterboro mayor had 11
men before him one day recently on
charges of being drunk and disoidcr-
ly and that ut least one a day was
the record for the remainder of the
week. That sound,, funny—happening
in the home town of Editor W W,
8m ak, one of the Itading exponents
of prohibition in the State. Hut, on
second though', pci haps Brother
Hmoak «ill u-e it as an aigurm-nt
agam«t the repeal of the IHth Amend
ment— how much wotse conditions
w-uld hr if we reaPy had liquor?
Ami now the farmers of Rambeig
County are protesting against the R
F. C. paying negro laborers 30 cents
ap hout. They complain that su« h
high wage* are luinmg fann lalw*r
Dia*at i«faction also seems to ho I
growing in s me counties over the
costs rf administration, together w th
charges of favoiitism in the disiM-ns
#•11 I
mg of jobs. It is probably hup|>cning
in this a* in so many other public af
fails—that when a little p wrr is I
given to those who are supposed to
be the servants of the people they
immediately try to u>urp the authori
ty of a master.
Cash—Not More Credit.
Neville Bennett, one of Marlboro
County',, representatives in the House
and a recognized leader of that body,
strikes the nail squarely on the head
when, before departing for Washing
ton in the interest of higher prices
for cotton and seed, he said: "We are
tired of having the relief of great
credit and longer term loans. We
can’t pay debts by borrowing every
year from another new crowd to pay
off the old crowd. We want cash for
a change, and we want cash enough
to pay what we owe and have some
thing left for Christmas.”
The mirage of easy credit has been,
in large measure, responsible for
leading the farmer into the morass of
debt in which he now finds himself.
In the past that ha§ been held out as
a cure-all of all the ills to which the
farmer is heir. Instead, it ha s proved
to be his undoing. f
Borrowing from Peter to pay Paul
will never get the agricultural classes
—nor any other class—on a firm
foundation of financial stability. What
is needed i 8 a fair price for what the
farmer produces—a pi ice in keeping
with the wages paid to industrial
labor. If and when that is done, there
will be no need for the R. F. C. and the
N. R. A. and many other agencies with
names so long that it has been neces
sary to denote them with initials.
P»y the producers a profitable piice
for their products and all the rest
will take care of itself a s surely as
the night follows the day. Fail or
refuse to do that, and the N. R. A.
program will coUapae in the cotton
beN. That i g Mr. Bennett’s predic
tion and it was voiced by The People-
Sentinel some weeks ago.

If California has a few more
earthquakes and England an

come back into her own.
Secretary Wallace figgers that
the cotton processing tax adds only
4 cents to a gingham dress, and in
creased wages add only 4 cents, and
short hours add on ^y * cents, thus
making n 12-eent dres s cost only 24
cents. The farmer figgers that he
pays the whole tax, as it has hammer
ed his cotton down to the tune of $20
per bale, dress or no dt;ess. What he
wants is redress.
