- m : t* ’ / .. JOHN W. HOLMES 1S49—1911. B. P. DAVIES, Editor and Proprietor. Entered at the post office at Barnwell, S. C., as second-class matter. SUBSCRIPTION RATES: One Year $1.60 Six Months .90 Three Months .60 (Strictly in Adraneo.) THURSDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1933. In withdrawing from the League of Nations, Germany’s theme 'song wa.« probably “Who’s Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf?’’ Talmadge Is Right. Governor Talmadge is exactly right when he takes the position that relief work pay should be p little lower than the prevailing wage .scale for labor in « community, Alan Johnstone, region al relief administrator, to the contrary notwithstanding. It would seem that the chief object of relief work should be to tide the unemployed over an emergency until they are able to se cure jobs with private industry and should not be put in competition there with. John-tone takes the positi in that one of the South’s greatest afflictions is a “psychology of poverty that makes it afraid to pay real wages for real work.’’ We would say that it is not “p-ychology” that makes the South afraid but rather the “actuali ty’’ that makes it impossible to pay what Mr. Johnstone terms “real wages for real work.” This is particularly tiue of agriculture. It is apparent that the farmer ha. absolutely no c n- trol over the price- that he is paid for his products and it is silly for any well-informed man to say that he should pay a high scale of wage- when his cotton and hi^ ci in and his wheat are seMing Ik*1i w production costs based on a low scale of wages. On the other hand, manufacturers base their prices on the various costs entering into the pioduction of their goods such as labor, law materials, etc. When these costs advance, they likewise advance their selling prices, as witness the marked advance* in wholesale and retail prices dining the past several week'. While this is true, we have witnessed a steady de cline in the pi ices of farm products, with cotton down about $16 a ba!g and wheat 60 cents a bushel fiom the high.; of three m mths ago. How. then, can the fatmer compete with a 30 cents an hour calc of wages, even though the relief worker gets only eight or ten hou:s of work a week? Who thinks for a minute that a mgr will woi k on a farm for ">0 cents a day, or $3 a week, when he can make a- much in a few hours “working for de guv’munt’’? We have said before, and we repeat it again, that no real prosperity can or will i nu* to this nati; n until the prices of faim products and other raw materials are put otf a profitable ba sis. If and when this i- done, we *hall have no need for the NRA, for pros perity in all other lines will follow as the. night follows the day. Under the present program of boo ting whole sale and retail prices, coup'ed with the steady decline in commodities, we aie but adding to the farmer’s burden by icducing his purchasing p; wer and increasing the co'ts if what he must buy. As Govemor William Larger, of North Dakota, tritely says in prohib iting the shipment of wheat beyond the borders of his State in an effoit to obtain higher prices, the farmer is “the foigotten man of the NR.A.” Pay him a decent price for what he produces and he will pay his labor a living wage. 1 sorrow with the president of the Pennsylvania railroad who has recently had his salary operated upon. Henceforth the poor fellow will have to try to get along on only $60,000.00 per year. I had my salary cut last week to $900.00 a year and I know what it means to get cut. $60,000.00 wont buy but 1,200 bales of cotton, and it takes only about 60 men, 100 mules, and 600 tons of fertilizer to produce that much cotton Jp^a year. It means le^s caviar for him, thaUs all. The department of agriculture seems to want high wheat, low flour, low cotton, cheap clothes, high wages, low food, no rent, low-salary jobs, no money, and plenty bull.

Noth- - Well, it looks like the government has gone and fixed the price of cotton at 10 cents per pound.

I remember that he had the pneumonia one year and a saw-milljand a cotton gin and typhoid fever and a threshing machine and mea«les and a molasses cane mHl and a crowd of younguns. The wost thing a person can have in my opinion, is a saw-mill. A small, portable saw-mill will work a man to death and bust him besides.
