For reasons that become self-evi
dent after a perusal of Doctor-Editor
T. H. Dreher’s latest brainstorm in
The Calhoun Times, the editor of The
People-Sentinel must decline to pro-'
long the discussion. There are limits
to the subjects, that may properly
come up for editorial; discussion.
So far as we are conferned, the in-
eident is closed."
Should Keep Clooe Watch.
A short time ago The People- Sen
tinel commented on President Roose-
velt’s assertion that “it is your busi-
and mine” to see that unworthy
are. kept from the “relief rolls”
this winter and we took the position
that it is the business of the Presi
dent's many thousands of paid helpers
to do this very important piece of
work. In this connection, we repro
duce in this issue an editorial from
The State in which cases from a Wis
consin town are cited that parallel re
ports that one hears from various sec
tions of South Carolina as to the many
abuses of the “dole.”
Of course, there are many needy
cases in South Carolina that must be
taken care of—there always have been
and always will be. On the other
hand, there are many able-bodied men
and women like those cited in the
Wisconsin letter who are constitu
tionally opposed to honest work of any
kind. It is silly to say that these
should be supported at public expense
“You and I" may know who they are—
they throng the relief offices through
out the State almost daily—but it is
not “our” business to “show them up.”
At best, the job of administering re
lief is a trying and, for the most part
a thankless task, and those who are
honestly doing their best to attain an
unpartial administration have The
People-Sentinel’s sincere sympathy
With hundreds and thousands of peo
pie greedily trying to get a share o'
Uncle Sam’s largesse, there are bound
to be impositions, but that is all the
more reason for the employes of the
various relief forces So- redouble thetr
efforts to weed out the unworthy. It
is those glaring impositions that oc
casion the unpleasant criticisms of
the relief work as a whole, and they
may be the cause of frustrating Pres
ident Roosevelt’s noble efforts to re
lieve real distress and suffering.
Therefore, what we have to say on
the subject is not with the purpose of
trying to tear down by baseless criti
cism, but rather to assist in building
up. The relief woilcers themselves
can do much to restore a waning pub
lic confidence in the work of relief by
a careful application of the pruning
knife.
extraordinarily good one, both from
an educational and entertainment
standpoint. Demand for exhibit space
has been the best in years. The fair
is expecting a great attendance and is
warranted in reaching this conclusion.
During the year improvements have
been made, including a fence entirely
around the property. The old football
stands of wood have- been torn' away
and in their stead—on a different
location, just beyond the race track—
has risen a modern steel and concrete
stadium seating 18,000 persons. This
will be )»ed for the Garolina-Clemson
Classic at high noon Thursday, Octo
ber 21>th. The old space will be used
for expansion of the Midway, which
by the way, will be the biggest ever
brought to the Fair.
Special attention is being called to
the electric display, sponsored by the
Railroad, Commission. It is non-com
mercial and is designed to show the
advantages of rural electrification. a A
headliner will be the House of Magic,
which will come direct from the
World’s Fair, Chicago, and will be
shown in the South for the first time
in Columbia. This alone will be worth
the price of admission? Every bit of
space in the Steel Building will be
used this year. Quite a contrast to
what it was last year.
The Fair is the “Meeting Place” of
South Carolina and it looks as if
there will be more people to meet than
ever before. The fact that the
premium money all goes to South
Carolinians has stimulated interest in
entries and those exhibiting will no
longer compete with what might be
termed professionals.

Williston, Oct. 13.—Mr. Walter
Ashley Toole died in a naval hospital
in San Francisco Thursday after fn
Alness of several months. Shortly
after graduation from high school
here he enlisted in the navy, where
he had remained for six years. It is
with regret that Williston learns of

he has always been very popular
among his friends and schoolmates.
He had just passed his 23rd birthday.
Mr. Toole is survived by his mother,
Mary Allen Toole; one sister,

Strike Troubles Have Reached
Flat Rock.
deer mr. edditor:—
our town and community is tore all
to peaces onner count of labor trub-
bles, as the goVverment has quit
paying the farmers for not raising
hogs, and has allso quit paying them
to plow up cotton ansoforth, 50 per
cent of same have gone out on strike
and won’t plant nothing a-tall.
about 60 percent of the farmers
decided that they wanted to keep on
farming and raising pigs and other
.hings for their families to eat, and
did not walk out, so a flying souad-
ron appeared in our midst from cedar
lane yisterday and picketed their
barns and tool houses and hog pens,
and closed up ever farm and cow pas
tor in this section, and now every
thing is dead.
the farmers who have struck is
taking the jobs away from the reg-
gular rfc workers who has benn on
uncle sammies payrool for several
months, and it looks like a clash be
twixt them; the rfc workers are not
willing for the strikers to ride on
their gravy trains, so a battle is lia
ble to burst out anny minnet betwixt
.he rfc hands and fanners who are
fighting for the bitter end.
OF
our case is a badly mixed mess, if
the strikers take the jobs away from
the rfc workers, the rfc workers
mought as well go on a strike allso
and jine the u. f. h. o. t. u. s.—trans
lation: united farms hands of the
united states—and they can form a
bigger flying squadron and make
ever farmer in the whole country
quit raising anything to eat, wear,
drink, chaw or rub with, the local
pressident of the u. f. h. o. t. u. s.
says that he is going to show the gov-
verment up.
it looks like if all of the farmers
go on a strike as planned by the
squadrons and take all of the rfc
workers jobs for theirselves, the gov-
verment will have to feed everboddy
rom the man who wont work to the
man who wont let the man work who
wants to work, the fanners claim
the gowerment ought to pay them
'or a hog apd a half where no hog at
all is grown, and vic-versy on cows.
the pressident, mr. snueel, says that
he gowerment can settle this strike
by making the plowmules walk slower,
as the present gaits of the mules
causes the farmers to stretch out and
walk faster, and allso pay them for
plowing up 10 acres at the same rate
hat they jpaid them last year for
plowing up 15 acres, and allso .in
crease the .price of everything the
farmer has to sell, and reduce the
price on everything he ha^to buy.
our poleesman mought have to call
out the raillisher to keep peace be
twixt the atrikers and the rfc work
ers and the non-strikers who want to
work, but can’t.
