SUBSCRIPTION RATES: One Year ^ $1.50 : Six Months I .90 • Three Months .60 (Strictly In Adrance.) THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1933 If Uncle Sam recojoiizea Russia he ■will accomplish a feat that has been impossible for many Russians. In the repeal parade of the States, North and South Carolina are like the recruit in the aimy—they’re all out of step but us. Dame Fashion, alias Mae West, has decreed the return of feminine curves. Well, we hope the girls will be able to control ’em. Ed Wynn says that Peggy Joyce is to re-marry one of her ex-husbands. Ed is sure that hubby will be happy this time, as he will be re-Joyceing. Speaking of vegetables—when buy ing a diamond it is not necessaiy for the purchaser to “know his onion.*’’ but he should be familiar with his carats. ise hogs should take Farmers who^rais courage. Hollywood reports that Three Little Pigs has already earned a million dollars.—The Buffalo (N. A writer in the Calhoun Times doesn’t think much of many features of present-day government activities. He tells of going into a store in Calhoun County where he wa^ inform ed that the merchant had to pay a tax of $700 on the cotton goods on his shelves and expressed the fear that he would have to close his dbors. Continuing the writer said: “Then I walked down the street near a filling station where a crowd was gathered. There free bacon (or ham) was being handed out to whites and blacks. I noticed one colored man take his and go over and get in an automo bile, drive up to the filling station and pay money for gasoline. Then I noticed another colored man drive up in one of the ancient model *T’s.’ I peeped’over to seeifhewa s carrying home the bacon. HeVas. No money to buy meat, bifKsmoney to run old automobiles. “Free bacon, free Aour,^ Tr_ee Prosperity For the Farmer Is Still Just Around the Corner. Speaking of farm relief, at the t^me this is written, it requires a bushel of oats on a Kansas farm to buy a package of cigarettes; a bushel of corn will pay for 1 plug of Brown’s Mule tobacco. It costs twice as much to ship a bushel of oats 800 miles by railroad as the farmer gets for them. Our Southern cotton farmers are being paid 60 cent* per hundred pounds for their cotton seed. A ton of cot ton seed will fetch enough cash to pay for 180 pounds of lard made from cotton seed. If you own 10 pounds of cotton ybu .can sell- it for 90lc— which will pay for a cotton shirt weighing 12 ounces. Y.) Times. Yeah, but they (or it) away to the unemployed, didn’t come from the farm. * ' When Greece refused to surrender Samuel Insull to Uniter! States au- authorities, he said: “I intend to stay the remainder of my life in Greece as my own country.” If Sam follows the same financial practice# there that he is alleged to have pursued in this country, then God help the Greeks! Support the Team. The woeful lack of support of the Barnwell high school football team by local people is a surprising disap pointment and a disappointing -ui- prise to the members of the team as well as the loyal few who attend the games and give the boys their moral and financial support. This lack of support was especially noticeable Fri day afternoon when the attendance was probably the smallest in the his tory of local football. And this cannot be charged to the eggs, milk, chickens and beef. “Why work when we have such a good government? The man who works goe# in to buy his rations, and besides the market price he must pay an additional 30 cents a bushel on flour for his bread; 30 cents a bushel on corn for his grits; four cents a pound on his cotton shirt; two cents a pound on hi# lard and bacon. “The farmer sells his hogs to the government for four cents a pound so that the government can give this Then the farmer must help pay for that meat through Taxes to enable the govern ment to give it away. The same is true of other farm commodities.” Rather a strong indictment, but who can deny the truth therein? No doubt the incident he mentioned is being duplicated in hundreds of other towns throughout the country. Many local citizen# remarked on the large crowd gathered here last Wednesday Afternoon for the distribution of free meat. We do not know that any of it was carried away in automobiles. The Calhoun County writer further complains of the high wages being paid to indu.-trial workers and the elimination of child labor in faefories, while “mother-, wives, children and all” must work on the farm in order to eke out a bare existence while pro ducing food and clothing for the bet ter paid industrialists. "In this New Deal, the farmer didn’t get any trumps,” he declares. Where has the cog slipped? There I is no denying the fact that President When you buy a barrel of flour for $8.00, you are paying $6.60 for the flour and $1.40 a.s tax. The wheat farmer possibly gets 60c a bushel for his wheat, but the miller has to pay 90c for it, including the tax which he passes on. This processing tax is a wonderful way to build up larger sur pluses of the commodities it is placed upon. . * ■ . When flour is too high for poor folks to buy,' they eat something cheaper—combread and potatoes, and possibly a few biscuits for breakfast and on Sunday. The buying public thinks the merchants are profiteering, as stuff is so high, but they aie mis taken except in rare cases. The advance in wages at manu facturing plants, plu* the slight ad vance in raw materials, plus the shor ter hours with more pay or the same pay, plus the processing tax, plus th? increase in wages of mercantile help, makes nearly everything that is man- ufactured cost the consumer almost 100 percent more that the same things cost him 10 months ago. fact that Barnwell has a losing team, as shown by the fact that the local* Roosevelt has tried to help the agri- have won four out of the six games played this season, one of the de feat# coming at the hands of one of the >tlongest prep school teams in the State. Various explanations have been of fered. One is that baseball this sum mer killed off interest in the fall sport, but we had baseball in 1932 and fairly large crowds attended the football games that fall. The lack of money is another explanation, but the attendance at college game# this year is larger than in 1932. Be that as it may, the attendance is disappointing, to say the lea*t, and The People-Sentinel is making this appeal in behalf of the Iroys who prac tice faithfully four afternoon# every week in order that they may be in good shape on the fifth afternoon to give the fans a clean, creditable exhi- cultural classes but all that ha# been dene -o far has been to their detri ment. The prices of commodities have failed to keep pace with the prices of things that the farmers As a whole, the purchas- mu*t buy. ing ■prwrrs*of the framer- is less than it was a year ago. If government can fix a minimum wage for industrial labor, why can’t it fix a minimum living price for commodities? The Government Estimate. The 1933 cotton crop i# now esti mated at 13,100,000 bales, according to the government report made public yesterday morning. This is an in crease over a month ago but was smaller than the speculators antici pated and prices advanced. If there is any business of any kind in my neck of the woods making any money, I’d like to talk to the boss and get his prescript ion—-'cause my own business might need a little doc toring before it’s over. Nearly 100 percent of everybody’s troubles is debt, interest and taxe*. A man out of debt is in heaven at this time. If the farmer does not soon get a break so’s his head will stay above water, he will stay broke from now on. If there were no processing taxes, 1 sin cerely believe the farmer would be receiving a fair price for his stuff, fur-instance: 11c for cotton, $1.00 fof wheat, and other produce in propor tion. Mrs. Ethel Baxley rlartzog. Hilda, Nov. 7.—Mr-. Ethel Baxley Hartzog, wife of J. Brooker Hartzog, parsed away at her home here Mon day, October 30th, at six o'clock a. m., after an illness of more than a year. She was in her fortieth year and besides her husband is sufvived by her mother, Mrs. Emma Baxley; an aunt, Miss Addie Bonds; two uncles, A. J. and G. A. Bonds; several nieces and nephew# and other relatives! She had been a member of the Double Pond* Baptist Church since early life and funeral and interment took place there at five o’clock Mon day afternoon, the Rev. L. G. Payne, of Blackville, assisted by the Rev. Mr. Way, of the Olar circuit, con ducting the last sad rites. Mrs. Hartzog was a lovable Christ ian character and during her long and painful illness she was most patient and uncomplaining, faithful ly trusting in God and resigning her self to His will. Her passing has cast a deep gloom over the entire community and much symptahy is felt for the bereaved family. The large attendance at the funeral and the beautiful flowers that covered her last resting place bore sterling testi mony of the high esteem in which she wa# held by all who knew her.
