BO (Strlctlj in Adranee.) THURSDAY, JANUARY SI, 1935. And now rnmaa tha neera that Ad- miral Byrd has claimed 200,000 square miles of territory in Antarctica for Uncle Sam when the old gentleman already has more frozen assets than he knows what to do with. A headline in a Kansas City news paper reads, “To Wed Widow’s Sister,” and the Literary Digest asks us to figure it out. Well, the only solution we can offer is that the bride-to-be is the sister of her prospective hus- i hand’s divorced wife—his “grass- widow.” In view of the fact that a supposedly mad dog bit a number of other canines in and around Barnwell > last week, would H not be well and wise for the city fathers to require owners to keep their dogs confined and under observa tion for a while and to have all stray dogs put to death? The life of one person is worth infinitely more than all the dogs in town. We still don’t understand all t^at we know about the government’s poli cies. F’rinatance, private industry is urged to shorten hours, increase wages and put more people back' to work, while the policy of the post office de partment is to throw men out of work through tha. consolidation of mail routes. True, some money will be saved through the consolidation of the two routes at Barnwell and the one at Kline, but it is a safe bet to make that three good men can be secured ■to serve the three old routes fpf the same money that will be paid for the two consolidated ones. While they have no LEGAL right to demand this “back, pay,” many of them doubtless feel that they have a MORAL right in view of the decision in the Grimball case. 1 An<| whit of the thousands of the rest of us who suffered loss in income and reduction in salaries ? We doubt less fell that we have a HUMAN right to ask that such losses be made good—but by whom ? ——-——I We submit that'a judge drawing $7,- 600 a year could better stand a 10 per cent, cut than could a public ser vant (not a constitutional officer) whose pay was only $2,500 a year. But this, of course, is aside from the point. \. As a matter law, there are doubtless many things { that an individual may do legally that are frowned upon by public opinion, and the action of the judges in this matter happens to be one of them. When the reduction was made, the judge! tacitly acquiesced i: the action of the general asseml None of them protested—none of them resigned rather than accept la lower wage—none of them brought a test case. The public was led to believe that the cut was perfectly/Satisfactory to them, aiv! it was the subsequent ac tion of the judges aa'a result of the primball case that/:rankled in the minds of many pebple. We also agree 7 with The State that the judiciary should not be held in subjection by the general assembly, but it is bard to see how the matter of adjusting their salaries when occas± ion demands can hold them in subjec tion any more than does the fact that they are elected by the legislature. (Apparently it was perfectly all right to adjust them upwards a few years ago.) Like Caesar’s wife, the judiciary phould be above reproach, and many think thty have done more by their own action to lose the respect and confidence of the laymen as a whole than anything that the general assem bly or any other one agency could have accomplished. A New Model Political Machine? Congratulations. The Wplterboro Press and Standard announces that it will be published semi-weekly, beginning February 5th. The days' of issue will be Tuesday and Friday. The People-Sentinel congratu lates Editor Smoak on thr proposed change. The Press and Standard is an excellent paper in a splendid town. May they both continue to grow. The Governor's Friends Deserting Him? There are indications that some of Governor Johnston’s ardent support ers of last summer are losing some of their ardor as a result of his efforts to. oust the members' of the State highway commission. We have heard Last week a bill to “reorganize” the highway department was introduced in the legislature. It is sponsored by 56 members, and Governor Johnston has termed it a “Declaration of Bide- pendience” from ring rule in South Carolina. Evidently, it is the vehicle by which he hopes to carry out one of his campaign promises of last to the people of the State. The highway commission has been attacked on the ground that it is “a . political machine." JSQ. .£ar .as_wfi now, no charges of malfeasance in office have been lodged against any of the members nor ’proof of such of fered. Therefore, it is reasonable to suppose that the present chief execu tive is opposed to the present set-up because he believes it is a political ma chine that is not operating in the best interest of the people of South Caro lina. The bill now before the general as sembly provides that the number of members’be reduced from 14 to seven —one from each of the six Congres sional Districts, with the governor as r •• v <r A The Extra Bolls Are The Profit V - 'OU have gat to produce a certain amount of cotton to pay for the labor, fertilizer and other incidental expenses. If you v A_ A produce only the number of bolls necessary to pay these expenses. you will have no profit left. It is from the extra bolls on each stalk that your profit comes. Therefore, it is only natural that what ydu are looking for is a fertilizer that will put these extra; bd/llS’ Xiw every stalk. For fifty years Royster has done nothing but study plant foods for various crops—cotton in particular. It has been our life work to produce an early-maturing, heavy-producing cotton plant, and we feel that our efforts have met with success. It stands to reason that one who has spent a life-time at one job must succeed. Be sure you get the extra bolls that mean profit. See your Royster agent and let him know how many tons of Royster Field i ■ Tested Cotton Fertilizer ^ou will need. FIELD TESTED FERTILIZERS iMll 3SS&: ’SSI 4 A F.S.

Farewell Party. of at least one instance of supporters of the chief executive, who are like- ^ member ex officio without pay. The —t v _ wise friends of one of the members of the commission, attempting to block his efforts, and the Walterboro Press and Standard, which was out spoken in its advocacy of Governor Johnston’s candidacy, now takes issue with him and predicts that the present governor will get no farther than did Governor Richards in his fight oti the State tax commission. Editor Smoak concludes his-editorial as follows: “Governor, we are with you in many of your suggested reforms, but we cannot stand w’ith you in this highway controversy.” /’ . The Press and Standard supported Mr. Johnston in spite of the fact that he was pledged to “get rid of Ben Sawyer” and reorganize the depart ment. Oh, well, Governor Johnston will probably lose support in some quar ters and gain it in others. Only “yes men” will applaud all that he does merely because he was their choice in the primary, and constructive criti cism from his friends may do more to temper his judgment than adverse criticism from his political opponents. t More About the Judiciary. The People-Sentinel agrees with- the newspaper defenders of the State’s judiciary that the judges were within their LEGAL rights in demanding and neeervtng ,the “bapk pay” withheld from them by the legislature under the atreas of the depression and the to economise in government, salaries were cut 10 per cent. As “constitutional” officers they had a legal right. ngr abdu But what about those holding of- Bces other than “constitutional offi- cee”? What of the school teachers? AO are servants of the State and suf- TRY A BUSINESS Mae 10 per cent, redaction. FOB SATISFACTORY/ members would be appointed by the governor. A similar bill was introduc ed last year by Representative Solo mon Blatt, of Barnwell, but with this differeence: that the members be elected by tjie general assembly. So far as the people of the State are concerned, there is little difference in wjh^tber a “political machine” is operated by Governor Johnston or some other chief executive, and it would probably be as safe in his hands as in any others. Therefore, if he be sincere in his efforts to protect the people of the State from this “political machine” in the future, would it not be better for him to advocate the elec tion of the highway commissioners by the legislature rather than their ap pointment by the governor? This point, we understand, has been brought out in Columbia and the gov ernor’s friends stress the fact that he #■ l^ex officio chairman of the boards qf trustees of the various State colleges. The answer to that is the fact that the trustees are elected by the legisla ture and not appointed by the gov ernor.
