I “THAT JJTTLE By B. 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.”

Railroads and Doctors.
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. It is bad policy to contract

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

Without acreage-control measures the
improved returns from cotton, an
