Link I Quite often one hears football fans remark that a coach at such-and-such cflUege or university “won” or “lost” so many games during a reason, and he is praised or blamed as the case may be. They entirely lo.*e sight of the fact that it was the team that won or lo*t. Then, too, they lose sight of the fact that it is, or should be, a coach’s business to build men, as was pointed out la?t week by a Col umbia pastor in a letter to The State’s sports writer. Victory, while always welcome if achieved in a fair, sports manlike way, should not be the sole objective. Yost and Sbagg did not al ways have winning football teams, but they rank high in the annals of the sport. In football, as in life, it Is always well to remember that— “When the one Great Scorer comes To write against your name, He writes not that you lost or won But how you played the game.” -(*6 pooa \ (aostc *tcuu'(ou owe om k Ouo MICH./-" _ " _ yjts HPtO 0\j(2 (iGGocIkn LIU GfSMB S*roru>Ptf NIGHT AMti NICV4 \WAS ^ SauATTiN' IN AS USuAU C ANO H»cKi w& \wAS IN A BAO STREAK HEto HAWB LOST HIS SUIT \T HAli FIT AhW OF OS,—* ^ ANyHOvO, \T WAS TiME FOR TH6 ♦ CONSOLATION'ANt> -\ KJEPT "t6 LUN* e.MeaT\2)ooN To MAue \t a nice Pot * Pott Nick, \ sa\t> it So often Ano seaiooscf THAT I HAt> huh bFuev/vH* HE WAS Goin' To WlN IT- B0*O% DIDN’T WIN FT, ANG NE WAS sore AS A Boil AT ANTb SATS ° I THOUGHT Too SA\o I WAS Going •v To ) WIN IT.

Dr. Joseph Morse, professor of philosophy at the University of South Carolina, addressed the Columbia Lions Club* last week. Among other things he said that the railroads have recently adopted a policy that was suggested by him some months ago— that of reducing passenger fares to a point where people could affoni to ride—and in that connection- he ad monished the medical profession as follows: “Doctors, no not charge so much that we have to wait for the under taker. Cut your fees so we can call you as soon as we are ill. Now we feel that we cannot call, for we know that it will cost us $3 for just the first ?hot. If there are other calls, the cost will mount higher. We can’t afford it.” The lat? lamented Dr. D. K. Briggs, of Blackville, once remarked to the writer that “it costs loo much to come into this world and too much to leave it” He was an advocate of lower medi cal fees. a mortgage debt when current ex penses go unpaid. 1 On the other hand, it is pointed out that now is a good time to erect the building for the reason that 30 per cent, of the cost will be paid by the federal government. That is a strong argument in its favor. We believe that the law require. 8 a petition from two-thirds of the free holders before an election on- a bond issue can be called. Many are misled into signing such petitions by the ar gument that it does not necessarily bind the signer to vote for. the bond I issue, but once the election has been , called it is a foregone conclusion that j it will be carried, as any qualified elector, regardless of whether or not i he or she is a property owner, is eli gible to vote. The election cannot be | called unless the freeholders favor it. Once more, we uige every citizen ' and taxpayer to attend tomorrow’s meeting. Discuss the matter in a bus- i incsslike way and, if the decision be to erect the new building, let’s not have any grouching in the future ovqr the increased tax burden. i Nobody’s Business \ Tomorrow’s Meeting. Col. Solomon Blatt, secretary of the local school board of trustees, has called a meeting for tomorrow (Fri day) afternoon to discuss the proposal to erect a n^w high school building in Barnwell He* urges every citizen and taxpayer to be present, and The Peo ple-Sentinel wishes to second this invi tation. This proposal is one that should be thoroughly discussed before a final de cision is reached. During the part few years, the taxpayers have been crying for relief from their burden and, for the most part, blaming their representatives in the legislature and their county officials for high taxes, when, as a matter of fact, most of the burden has come from bond issues vo ted by the people themselves.-, - As we understand it, the bonds for the present school building will ma ture next May and will Jbe retired from the sinking fund, thus relieving the taxpayers o$rthe Barnwell school district of a se^en prills levy. If the people decide to build «a new school building here, it will be necessary to put back, three of the seven nulls. In the various other districts comprising the Barnwell high school district will mean an additional three mills levy, as they will not share in the seven-mill reduction. We are not making these statements for the pur pose of “throwing cold water” on the proposition, but merely for the in formation of our readers, so that, in the event that the New Deal does not have all the results heped for and taxes begin to pinch again in the next few years, they will not again blame their public servants for taxes votecl on themselves. It has happened in the quite recent past that the salaries of schqol teach ers went unpaid for months a time, although we pgiderstand that this dis trict ended the phst fiscal year with a cash balance on hand. Some districts say still find it difficult tt> pay their teachers.

I Am Always Worrying About Something to Worry About. * Nearly^aJl of us ate creatures of imagination, especially as relates to our physical selves.

In fact, the doc tor traces all of my woriies and symp toms and diseases to some indiscre tion on my part, and I am getting tired of that; he surely can find Much the clearest and most com pact statement regarding the positiorr and prospect of American cotton is this paragraph, from the pamphlet, “The Agricultural Outlook for 1934,” issued last week by the department of agriculture in Wa-hington: “Present prospects are that the supply of American cotton in 1934- 35 will be materia'ly jess than that of 1932-33. If world consumption this sea-on equals or exceeds that of 1932-33, a- is indicated at present, the world carry-over on August J, 1934, would be reduced to less than 10,- 50QJ)00 bale.^ Furthermore, the program announced by the agricul tural adjustment administration calls for a restriction in the 1934 cotton crop to 25,000,000 acres, which if yields should be equal to the average of the last ten years, would give a crop of around 8,800,000 bale-. This would give a supply for the 1934-35 season of less tha^i 20,000,000 balers compared with the 1933-34 indicated supply of 24,500,000 bales, a 26,000,- 000-bale supply for the 1931-1932 and the 1932-33 -easons, and a ten-year average of approxmately 18,500,000 bales. With the 1934 crop restricted to 25,000,000 .acres, th^ 1934 crop would probably still be materally less than that of 1933, even if the more pro ductive soils are uti' zeu, the crop is more intensively cultivated, and larger quantities of fertilizers aie ap plied, resulting in yields par acre Ccnsiderably above the 1932-33 aver age. For the production from 25,- 000,000 acres to equal the October es timate of the 1933 cro p, average yield would hove to be 79 pounds ox 47 per cent, above the 167 pound aver age of the last ten years, 41 pounds per aete above, the high yields indicat ed for 1933, and 23 pounds above the Treasurer’s Tax Notice The County Treasurer’s office will be open from September 15th, 1933, to March 15th, 1934, for collecting 1933 taxes, which include real and per sonal property, poll and road tax. All taxes due and payable between September 15 and December 31, 1933, will be collected without penalty. All taxes pot paid as stated will be subject to penalties as provided by law. January 1st, 1934, one per cent, will be added. February. 1st, 1934, two per cent, will be added. March 1st to 15th, 1934, seven per cent, will be added. Executions will be placed in the hands of the Sheriff for collection af ter March 15th, 1934. When writing for amount of taxes, be sure and give school district if property is in more than one school district.

Without acreage-control measures the improved returns from cotton, an abundant labor supply, and somewhat improved credit conditions might easily stimulate the planting of an acreage in 1934 in excess of the 4J 80Q,000 acres planted in 1933.’ ~'-_A few years ago, up over-night cn my left cheeji wife knew it staa ting off just like the cancer that killed her John.
