We see by the papers that Allendale
is to have a new bank with “unauthor
ized” capital of $10,000. That should
be something new under the sun.
Well, Governor Blackwood’ con
tinues to run up his total ol pardons
and paroles, but that’s not news. The
day that he doesn’t turn convicts out
of the pen will be—somewhat like the
man biting the dog.
The News and Courier compares
the pardon records of Scott and Moses
with those made by Democratic gov-,
ernors of this State of a later time—
anj the comparison is very favorable
to South Carolina’s notorious carpet
bag governors.
Pre-legislative dope from Columbia
forecasts that the general assembly
may “go Washington” on a number
of pieces of legislation, such as State
unemployment relief fundls and old
age pensions. Just how the folks
back home are going to meet addi
tional taxes is another one of the lit
tle mysteries of life.

provide research for utilization *of
cotton stalks; standardize covering
for cotton, and regulate shipment of
the lint.
The department of agriculture al
ready maintains a research division
for waste agricultural products, but
Fulmer expressed belief that with addi
tional congressional aid a practical
method may be found to make money
from cottolrt stalks now plowed under
after the lint is picked.
The proposal to standardize cover
ing wouk? provide a maximum allow
ance of l4 pounds for the bagging and
tarag^, resulting in a saving in
freight and insurance costs.
The measure to regulate shipments
would authorize the interstate com-'
merce commission to give preferential
rates to high-density ginned com
pressed cotton. Railroads can carry
more bales of such cotton in a box
car than of ordinary ginned cotton,
but. Fulmer sai^l no provisiona were
made for this in rates.
Dramatic League Organized.
1 “Danger Ahead.”
Under the above caption, The Green
ville Observer warns members of the
legislature against the introduction of
“restrictive measures which they will
allege will be for the benefit of those
who work in the mills," citing the
fact that such measures forced the
removil of many cotton mills from
New England to the South and the
abandonment of numbers of others.
“The best way to help the mill work
ers of this State is to keep the milla,
to make their operation more profit
able,” says The Observer, which has
the following to say about Barnwell
County’s Senator in this connection:
Senator Edgar A. Brown, of Barn
well, is a politician. As such, of
course, he professes to be a friend of
labor, for labor has a very big vote
in this State. But he has too much
sense to believe that he will help labor
by favoring legislation which wdll
drive mills out of business, for the
mills not only add to the general pros
perity of the State but they are the
fcigge&t outlet for employment of the
State’s labor. According to Senator
Brown, South Carolina must reduce
its taxation of cotton mills or face a
danger of losing them because they
will go where taxation is lower, just
as so many of them moved here from
New England because at the thne they
were moved mill taxation was less in
this State than in New England. He
believes there is at present grave dan-
"ger that South Carolina may lose
many of its cotton mills, as well as
that there will be no new investment
In cotton mills in this State.
> New England and other Southern
States have reduced their tax burden
and are attracting textile plants with
increasing rapidSty, Senator Brown
said. If South Carolina does not do
so in the early future, Alabama, Geor
gia and other Southern States, as well
as New England, will take the textile
plants that rightly belong to this
fitater ha declared. ——~—
One South Carolina plant, located
in the Horse Creek section of Aiken
County, is to be dismantled and ship
ped to South America, Senator Brown
aaidl The company looked over all
of its mills and found the one in
South Carolina to be the least profit
able. Decision was then made to dis
mantle the equipment and transfer the
plant to South America.
Senator Brown said he preferred
aot to say which plant this was, but
iadicated it was now^idle^ He said
an appeal would be madfe to the South
Carolina tax commission to save this
industry.
“I think our State is virtually out
of the depression,” he said, “but one
more thing remains to be done. We
must protect our mills or lose them*
I am a> friend of labor, but we cannot
4drive our mills out of existence.”
On Monday afternoon at the Barn
well Court House, representative
members of Ellenton, Dunbarton and
Williston High Schools met with
Group leaders’of Ihe Baptist Building

Thursday morning was the coldlest
of the winter to date, the Barnwell and
Allendale thermometers agreeing that
14 degrees was the figure. A weather
observer tells us that it has not been
that cold here since 1898, when the
thermometer registered 9 degrees. In
that blizzard time, nearly 12* years
ago, there was good skating on the
Sherwood race track pond.
