“Applauded Very Little.”
How can The Barnwell Sentinel say
that “The News and Courier has ap
plauded very little what President
Roosevelt has attempted to accom
plish?" /
The Newg and Courier ha s applaud
ed President Roosevelt for his im
mediate treatment of the banking
crisis when he came to office.
It has applauded him for hi 8 suc
cessful leadership in the repeal of the
Eighteenth amendment.
It has described him time and again
a 8 in honest gentleman.
It has applauded his antagonism to
lobbying and the practicing of law in
departments by congressmen.
It ha 8 applauded his veto of the
salary compensation and veterans’
hill.
It has applauded his condemnation
of federal officeholders soliciting cam
paign funds.
It has applauded his insistence on
isting problem'?
ton Chamber of Commerce, only a
short time ago, advise taro such
couples from New York not to at
tempt the experience? (This story,
we believe, appeared in the New g and
Courier.) /
“The hope for the farmer is in the
abolition of all subsidies to the city
and the country, leaving the firmer
free to swap a bale of Barnwell Coun
ty cotton for a bale of British wool
without paying the value of half a
the merit, or civil service, system—Jthe News and
bale of cotton to an American manu
facturer of wool." That, of course,
means the lowering of the tariff wall,
which, in many instances, is probably
too high, but is it desirable to lower
it to such an extent a■ will permit
the flooding of this county with
goods manufactured with cheap for
eign labor, with the resultant low
wages for industrial labor and lower
prices for farm products? Would it
not be better to raise the prices of
farm products to enable the farmers
to buy the articles manufactured by
their city cousins working on a decent
scale of wages t . ". • ..t- ^
Or does the editor of the News and
Courier advocate wholly the abandon
ment of the so-called “American
standard of living”? Would he—se
cure in his editorial sanctum and com
fortable home, with a high-powered
automobile to whisk him to the near
by beache 8 or the more distant moun
tains—be content with a return to the
meagre comforts of 50 or 75 years
ago? We do npt think that he, any
more than “the strikers, in Minneapo-*
is and Toledo, would swap places with
tenant farmers in Barnwell because
cotton is eleven cents a pound.”
But perhaps all this i 8 aside from
what we said in our original editorial
that elicited two rather lengthy re
plies from our good friend, Editor
Ball. If we have mistakenly read hig
pithy editorials, we are sorry. It was
thatf-
in which he is opposed and embar-
rasaed by nearly all his party. There
S 8 no hope for the New Deal without
the merit system—but where is the
South Carolinian who would consent
to an efficient Republ#an being kept
in office for the New Deal’s sake?
It defend 8 and urges the enactment
by congress of his reciprocal tariff
bills.
While opposed to the use of tax
payers’ money, for investments, it
declares that, if that principle is to
be violated, the purchase of forest
reservationg is wise and expedient.
It has repeatedly said that the re
sults of the NRA have been beneficial
to the textile industry in South Caro
lina and has approved the reduction of
the* working week to forty hours,
however, it does not endorse the prin-
ple of governmental interference with
industry.
Where is another newspaper in
South Carolina that has specifically
defended the president in his disposi
tion toward those of-his measures that
are unpopular in South Carolina?—
News and Courier.
The People-Sentinel is glad that
the News and Courier has applauded
so many of President Roosevelt’s
policies. .Somehow, from a perusal of
its editorial page from day to day,
we had gathered- the idea that our
Charleston contemporary was in op
position to most features of the New
Deal—a “reaction” that otherreaders
of that journal have shared in. For
instance, we don’t believe that the
News and Courier "applauded” the
nt of the gold standard or
the reffflrti
the reMetfon in the gold content of
thu dollar -two important monetary
policies of the administration design
ed to aid the debt-burdened agricul
tural classes. If we remember aright,
thi 8 opposition was based on the fact
that it would also relieve other debtor
classes and was, moreover, a “repudia
tion” of solemnly contracted debts.
A 8 we have pointed ot?t before, and
repeat again, • most of those debts
were contracted on the basis of
“cheap” money and to require their
repayment with deflated dollars was
a Shylock method of procedure. We
favor neither the inflation of post
war days nor the drastic deflation of
the past few years, but a happy
medium between the two—a goal that
the administration ha s been striving
for.
As the News and Courier admitted
in a second editorial Manday morn-
infi, it has not “applauded” the ef
forts of the Roosevelt administration
to boost farm prices through what it
terms “subsidies’
a sop
. flung
to the farmer s to keep them quiet.”
To quote: “The more the farmer shall
be subsidised the greater will be the
cost of the city man’s food and the
sharper will be the demand on gov
ernment to feed the city man lest he
riot, as he is rioting in Toledo and
Minneapolis.” Does the News anc
Courier mean that the alternative is to
keep the price 8 of farm products low ?
But the News and Courier contends
that “th£ hope and the °nly hope of
thig republic Is in million 8 of city
people coming to the lands.” With
country 7 trying to solve the prob-
r-preduction on the part of
idy on the lands, we must

of the ground—if that be wha ;

srs of farm products and add them

IN CHEVROLET SALES !
Detroit Mich., May 10.—For the
first time in three years, sales of an
automobile manufacturer for a single
month topped the one hundred thousand
mark. This was brought out to#ay
in a statement issued by William E.
Holler, genaial sales manage n of
Chevrolet Motor Company, an
nouncing ' retail sales of Chev-
rolet passenger
cars and trucks
uring April of 100,046 units. This
figure includes Canadian, export and
domestic deliveries.
_ This compare s with 59,193 units in
April, 1933, and 96,693 units in March
of this year, accurdliig to the gt&W-
ment.
Retail sales the first four months
of this year totaled 281,033 as com
pared to 184,138 in the same period
a year ago an increase of 52 per
cent.
Chevrolet’s April retail aale 8 record
is considered significant in view of the
fact that this country hatg Ulffcredan
only recently advanced the premise
that the “drys” in the State Demo
cratic Convention could not refuse to
applaud the repeal of the 18th Amend
ment and at the same time endorse
the Roosevelt administration—or did
we mistakenly read that editorial al-
If hig premise as to the prohi
bitionists be correct, how will Editor
Ball vote in The Literary Digest poll
(if he be favored with a ballot) on the
question: “Do you approve on the
whole the Roosevelt policies?”
And just one more thing, Brother
Ball: It is The People-Sentinel—not
The Beople’s-Sentinel, although we
strive in our modest way, to be “the
people’s sentinel.”
E* Tu Brute?
In commenting on the sympathetic
attitude of the Boston Transcript (Re
publican) towards the Roosevelt ad
ministration, The State says in part:
“So far as we have observed „ Jbe
Transcript has confined derogatory
expressions to the reproduction of
comments by others, and so we find
in its columns almost daily those
paragraphic notes of apprehension
and gloom appearing in cur sincerely
esteemed contemporary, The Charles- j
ton News and Courier/’
Is it possible that The Transcript
and The State, like The People-Sen
tinel, have "mistakenly read” the
editorials of The News and Courier?
acute car shortage, practically since
the new 1934 models were introduced
and only now is catching up in a small
measure with the thousands of un
filled orders on its books. Retail sale 8
were higher than for any similar
period in 36 months, since April, 1981,
to be exact, and this tremendous re
tail volume, according to Mr. Holler,
is the direct result of the modern fea
tures and many unusual improve
ments incorporated in the new 1934
knee-action models. <

County £ey Bankers
Describing the activities of the Agri
cultural Commission of the American
Bankers Association, the Director, D.
H. Otis, says: “With 2,500 agricultural
ly minded bankers designated as
county key bankers, there is enlisted a
tremendous force for the improvement
of agriculture. These key bankers
bring organized assistance to progres
sive bankers, who are led to see the
possibility of agricultural work in
their communities. Banker • farmer
tours are emphasized as a means of
acquainting bankers, farmers and other
business men with first-hand knowl
edge of how agricultural Improvement
methods are working out in practice.
These give an opportunity for the key
hankers to coptact country bankers
and work out new ideas.”

CLAIM
Slot-Machines and Lotteries.
*
Another war on slot-machines in
this State appears imminent. Com
paint has been made in Columbia
parents and school authorities, ’>Vho
charge that school children us? the
money given them with which, to buy
lunches to play these machines of
chance ( ?) instead. The 7 State re
call? the war against riich* devices
that was wflged by Governor Rich
ards of South Carolina and Mayor
LaGuardia of New York City. The
claim is made that in New York City
alone the totial amount of money
garnered annually by 8 lot machines
exceeded that collected by the in-
iquitou s Cuban lottery, with the dif
ference that the Cuban government
got part of the spoils while the New r
York City government profited not
one penny. If that be true, what is
the annual toll paid throughout the en
tire United States? The total figures
must indeed be staggering.
A Futile Gesture.
The Act passed by the recent legis
lature, requiring that primary election
ballots be preserved for 30 day s fol
lowing an election,- seems to us-y
very futile gesture. If those who
control the election machinery, be
crooked enough in the first place to
“count out” any particlar candidate,
they would most certainly be shrewd
enough to “fix” the ballot boxes ac
cordingly. The main thing is to put
honest managers in charge of the elec
tions. The law, of course, seems to
be aimed at Charleston, where the
ballot 8 were burned immediately after
the State executive committee had de
clared Blackwood the nominee for
governor in 1930. Charges were
made at that time that Olin D. John
ston had been “counted out,” though
no concrete proof to substantiate the
Courier means, but if chBTg’iT’Wits ever offered. Strange
things happen in Charleston politics
but that-does not necessarily mean
that they are crooked. Candidates
and their friendg should not make
charge 8 of fraud and crookedness in
the conduct of primaries unless they
are prepared to substantiate them
with competent evidence. Baseless
rhai jrs o:.ly epi to w akeu tonli-
