THURSDAY, APRIL 19, 19S4. ****■- Mrs. Martin’* “Feature Story.” / Without in any way detracting from the splendid achievements of Mayor C. G. Fuller and Senator Ed gar A. Brown v in promoting the material welfare and progress of Barnwell in the past several months, we think that the “feature story” pre-- pared by Mrs. Chlotilde Martin for the April 15th edition of the News and Courier—and reproduced today in The People-Sentinel—is unfair v to other citizens of this city who have cooperated wholeheartedly with the Mayor and the Senator in the splendid work that has been accomplished, nor do we believe that these two estimable gentlement want all of the credit for what has been done. /Tor instance, there is the renova tion of the Court House, which pro ject was conceived by and carried out under the personal supervision of Mr.‘ R. R. Moore, a member of the board of county directors, who gave un- stintingly of his time, and the result is a monument to his efforts. Then, too, we bePDeve that Col. Solomon Rlatt deserves at least a part of the credit for getting the Albany base ball club to train here this spring, he having noted in an Augusta news paper that the club was without a training home, and it was at his sug gestion that the invitation was ex tended. \ Mayor Fuller and Senator Brown have proved themselves splendid lead ers and in her desire to pay them well-earned compliments Mrs. Martin overlooked the fact that even leaders must have the cooperation of those they seek to lead in the accomplish ment of anything worthwhile. There’s glory enough in what has been ac complished to go around and we are sure that the gentlemen in question would be the last to lay claim to any credit to whicK they are not en titled. went home, 147 of them to face elec tions this summer If they wis)i to re turn. Upon their re-election hinged chances that some of the bills may be reintroduced in 1985. Passed bill| and resolutions of State wide significance included three house measures described as being for the 'benefit of textile workers, eight liquor bills with various aims and measures to sterilize mental defectives, estab lish nurses' examining and sanitary water commissions and create a State police department.

A few years ago he ran against Senator E. D. Smith for the United States Senate, and gave Mr. Smith one of the rt runs” of his life. What may be Senator Brown’s Barnwell Legialatora. > In a review of the recent session of the general assembly, J. K. Aull, vet eran Colombia newspaper correspond ent, had the following to say of Barnwell County's senator and repre sentatives: Then there is Senator Edgar A. Brown of Barnwell, a former speaker of the house of representatives, one of the senate leaders. The Barnwell senator is regarded as authority on State finances. A veteran legislator, final rush in the senate. It was intro duced by Representatives Bennett, Glymph, Manning, McElveen, Sawyer, Weeks, Crenshaw, Bruce, Welbom and Beam as a companion bill to the San- tee-Cooper measure and passed the house. One measure which figured in one of the stormiest eepisodes of the ses- future political aspirations he; has not disclosed. During this session he has appeared to be content to repre sent the old county of v Barnwell, and the State as well, and let it go at sion, the trial of Senator H. K, Cooker -that.—Over iTitliffliouse Barnwell of Horry, ending in refusal to expel him, never obtained third reading in the senate. It provided for all legisla tors and State officials to register their connections with corporations. The 1933 house bill to abolish the “stretchout” system in textile mills died on the senate calendar along with house measures to prevent evictions during strikes and require sanitary sewerage in mill Villages.

Both these two gentlemen have / taken a prominent part in legislation; both have wielded an influence which has had its effect upon legislation. Negro Homicide Sunday. Lovey Braxton, colored, was killed Sunday afternoon at a house diTC. F. An Unfair Proposal. mk- It has been disclosed in Washing ton that the administration disap proves of legislation to release mil lions of dollars in closed banks in the United States, it_ being pointed out that “nearly half of the money to be distributed would be received by about 4 per centum of the depositors;” that it would represent a guaranty of bank deposits ‘past, presenl and future,” and that it would cost the taxpayers from $1,250,000,000 to $2,- 500,000,000.” Another angle that has perhaps been overlooked is the fact that hun dreds of banks have already been liquidated at great loss to depositors and stockholders, and it would be un fair to reimburse the depositors in banks now in process of liquidation without making good the losses of those in liquidated institutions. Nor can we exactly understand why the government should be expected to make good su(h losses. Why not ex tend it to include the losses of specu lators in the stock and commodity markets?—of dabblers in real es tate?—of any and every conceivable loss suffered as the result of the Re* publican party’s “abolition of pover ty” and establishment of eternal pros perity under the leadership of Cool- idge and Hoover? —t - T At any rate,, it is intei*estihg to note that “nearly half of the money would be received by about 4 per centum of the depositors.” fhat par tially bears out the assertion that 4 per cent, of the people control 80 per cent of the wealth ofthe/nation.
