I \ fAGB TWO. TUB BARNWELL PEOPLE-SENTINEL. BARN WED BSDAY, NOVEMBER 2. 1933. Tb<Barnwell People-Sentinel JOHN W. HOLMES 1840—1912. “Why Not Candid Robbery?’ “If inflation will help the debtor class, which means most of us, it can not come too quickly,” The Greenville Observer comments on the sayinjr of The News and Courier that only a •man who owes mcney can by any pos sibility be assisted by inflation.” If it be right and wise to cancel or fcale debts, why resort to the devious and hypocritical device of inflation? Why not have the congress and SUte legislatures to pass acts re ducing all debts by half or three- fourths, or wiping them out alto gether? A.® compared with inflation the Russian, or Bojshevik, method has the virtue of candor. In Russia not only have debts to the bourgeosie been cancelled, but the bourgeosise have had their throats cut. The Russians are the most logical people in the world and, so far, they have not been hypocrites. » They have taken the land from the well-to-do farmer and, if he pr-tested, they have sent him a prisonar to the 3 other things not fit to eat either, mines. Why not do that m South Carolina? Take the land from the farmer, the Bull fighting is the chief sport in Spain, while bull vshooting satisfies B. P. DAVIES, Editor and Proprietor.

What’s in a name? Sixty per cent, of the children b:>rn on the Virgin Is lands are said to be illegitimate. A daily newspaper reports having received for publication an account of a wedding from which the bride groom’s name was omitted by an oversight. Nobody can be blamed for omitting anything so unimportant as that. Mrs. L. M. Alexander, of Baldwin, Kans., who ."ays she thinks best while doing housework, has thought up a novel which has won a $10,000 prize, That should be an incentive for house wives to put a little more thought in to their task.-. bond from him if he has a mortgage Washington just as well. They are on a neighbor's land, the bonds and going to inflate as soon as the coun- Well, the Columbia papers are now’ writinff'about Carolina’s “iron man feat” in defeating thtee football teams in ton days. That should be pleasing to Clemson supporters who had grown tired of reading about Caro lina’s showing against Auburn last fall. “Before it (the IHth Amendment) was adopted the prohibitionists prom- ised that it would save the country from poverty and from crime. . The banks were to be trammed with coin and the jails were to be emptied say« the News and Courier. And what happened was that the jails were crammed and the banks were emptied, though it would hardly be fair to charge it all against pr hity- tion. The News and Courier ’ protests against the practice of some truck driver- in crowding passenger cars rff the highways and the excessive r ate of speed at whi h trucks are operated. Only the other day w'e heard a driver boasting of his feat in driving a heavy truck fr.;m Charleston to Barnwell—a distance of over 100 mile —in slightly more than two hours. The legal rate of speed for trucks, we believe, is .’{5 miles an hour. The Repeal Election. The voters of S iuth Carolina will go to the iMtlis next Tue day to vote on the question of repealing the 18th Amendment. 'lire People-Sentinel «Les n t presume to tel! them how they snould vote. National prohibition has been in effect about 13 years. During that time the people of the United States have had the opportunity to witness’ its operation. They are now required to render thei* verdict as to its suc cess or failure. .To date, thirty-odd State’s have voted on the question and all have\ voted for the repeal of the Amend ment—that i>, "wet.” Three other States will vote Tuesday along with South Carolina, and it is believed that the death-knell of national prohibition will be sounded November 7th. Therefore, it seems that the out come of the election in this State is Jiot of as much concern a< is the method of liquor control after repeal. So don’t get “het up” next Tuesday and fall out with your neighbor Ire- Cause he may disagree with you. Cast your ballot for or against repeal in accordance with your honest opinion. the stocks of the manufacturer, bank er, merchant. Why not? The Russians have done a thorough going job cf robbery.—News and Courier. Well, in thu country, lands have been taken from the well'-to-do farm ers and others under mortgage fore closures as a result of too drastic de-; flation, resulting in the panic and de pression. Whether or not that is hy pocrisy is for the News and Courier to say. . .. In arguing against inflation, the Charleston newspaper takes, pretty much the same position as do the prohibitionists on the repeal of the 18th Amendment. The “drys” (most of them) work on the theory that there has been no liquor since the adoption of the 18th Amendment and that it is sinful to “bring it back.” Editor Ball's viewpoint *eems to he that the present value of the dollar is the normal one and that, therefore, it is wiong to cheapen it jn relation to commodity prices. He persistently ignores the fact that, xmly a few years ago, we had a “cheap dollar” and that million- cf dollars in debts were con tracted on the basis of that cheap dol lar. President Roosevelt’s sole aim in adopting a “managed currency” is to enable debtors to pay back, (as nearly as is humanly possible) the same sort of dollars that they bor rowed. For instance, a man who bor rowed $1,000) when cotton was 20 cents a pound got the equivalent of 10 ba 1 es of the fleecy staple. With cot- top at five cent", he is requiredito pay back the equivalent of 40 bales and at 10 cents the equivalent of 20 bales. Is there anything equitable in that arrangement ? What neither the News and C urier nor Wall Street seems to comprehend is that President Roo.-evelt is fighting to prevent a bloody revolution in this country. We are going through an ec nomic ievolution in an effort to forestall what happened in Russia. Alieady one hears whisperings that if NRA fails, revolution will follow. If we were President, we would bring these Wall Street boys and such \cther unruly fePows as Editor Ball intoy nsultation and say: “See here—1 am doing my utmost to Save a part of what you have by giving the average man a square deal. If you don’t put' your shoulder to the wheel and help in the task, you are going to lose your material wealth and perhaps your lives in the bargain.” ~rjur ;! ebtor c!as-es of the country are not asking for unbridled inflation —they do not want that any more than dies Editor Ball—hut if a man aged cun ency or reflation \is needed to e’ase the burden, thin the quickeY we have it the better for all cdiieern* ed. Failing in that, then it might be wise for Congress to pas- acts ie- ducing debts to an equitable basts. OtheiAfrise, as in Ru-sia, “the debts to the bourgeosie” may be cancelled and the hourgcc-ie may have theii throats cut to boot. try is so perforated that it won’t hold wind. Cotton Letter.
