' We disagree with everything that cer tain persons say and respectfully de cline to defend with our life their right to say it. Colonel Fulp, recently appointed State administrator of federal relief, declared last week that administrative rpsts in South Carolina have been 66 per cent., which is to say that it has cost $2 to distribute $1 among the needy people. Mr. Baker, a former administrator, questioned the accuracy of Colonel Fulp’s figures, declaring that administrative costs had not ex ceeded 21 iper cent. Well, both of these gentlemen can’t be correct in their assertions. The Plight of Cotton Mills. Another cotton mil lin the upper part of this State has closed down for an indefinite period. It is located at Anderson and the underlying cause making this curtailment necessary i is the fact that the mill has been losing money “on account of the condition of the market." The situation is fur ther aggravated by the fact that the plant is located within the incorporate limits of Anderson and,Jn addition to all other taxes, must pay a heavy city tax on its property amounting to $100 for every working day of the year. In other words, the mill must .first make a profit of $100 a working day before it can start even with mills not located in that city. This mill is only one of several In the two Carolinas to suspend opera tions recently. And yet there are members of the general assembly who are hell-bent on making bad conditions worse by saddling restrictive measures on the struggling industry. "caught in political cross currents." Mr. Adams and Mr. Roy Powell, Governor Johnston’s "private secretary, are said to have conferred with Mr. Gerald Smith, representative of U. S. Senator Huey Long, at the time that an invitation was extended to the Louisiana "Kingfish" to speak in Co lumbia. GrtvemolS ' Johnston subse- < V A quetnly disclaimed any connection with the invitation. Mr. Adams introduced Senator Long in Columbia Saturday afternoon and, with Mr. Powell and Representative Godfrey, of Spartan burg, another administration spokes man, sat” on the \ speaker's - stands Senator Long is said to have called dh Governor Johnston at his office in th^ State House, from \y!hich meeting newspaper reporters wehe excluded. Senator Long is waging a bitter FORD V-8 fight against the Roosevelt adipinistra- a<uninr tion and many shrewd politicalx obser vers fear that he is destined toVreck the Democratic Party in 1936 Nand bring about the election of a Repul^i- can President.— Federal Relief Administrator Harry Hopkins is described by The Columbia Record as having been “dfispleased” because Governor Johnston, who was expected to be in Charleston on the occasion of Mr. Hopkins’ visit last Friday, was in Charlojtte, N. C., where he spoke over the radio that night. Senator Long was in Charlotte at the same time and referred in complimen tary terms to South Carolina’s chief executive. x Over in Georgia, Governor Tal- rhadge assailed the Federal relief ad ministration and, we believe, took is sue w^th the Roosevelt administration, with the lesult that a change was made in that State similar to the one that is indicated for South Carolina. But Governor Johnston has appar ently stood high in the good graces of the national administration and wo know of no crifcism that he has made of it. He has paid \a personal call on the President and wX were under the impression that he w’ks a welcome visitor at the White Hou^e* Is it possible that the Roosevelt od- ministration has read into aU of this a significance that is not'justified?— that it is displeased with Governor Johnston’s association with Senator Long—a bitter enemy of the adminis tration—indirect though it may be? Frankly, we don’t know the answer, but without a doubt there is ipuch more to these mysterious moves on the part of the Washington govern ment than has appeared on the sur face so far. It would be a pity for South Carolina to lose prestige with the national administration because of a, demagogue like Huey Long, and it is to be hoped that Governor John ston will soon be able to iron out any existing friction. What’s'the Answer? Tuesday afternoon’s issue of The Columbia Record announced the fact that there may be an entirely new set up of the FERA in South Carolina, with the federal government taking active control of the administration of relief funds in this State, as it has done in Georgia an* two or three other States. Just what is back of all of this? Friends of' Governor. Johnston pro fess to believe that^Senator James F. — JByrnes is pulling the strings; but the junior Senator dtenies that he has any thing whatever to do with the situa tion in South Carolina. Representative Ben E. Adams, of Richland, who has been accused on the floor of the House of “flirting ■with the Republican party in 1928— although he stoutly denied having ever voted the Republican ticket—led the fight against the State relief ad ministration last summer, forced the resignation of Malcolm Miller—who \ was promoted to a better job—and was himself elected 1 to the legislature. Mr. Adams is said to be one of the present administration’s floor leaders in the House. About the time that Mr. Fred M. Baker resigned as State administra- * tor. Governor Johnston appointed Mr. Adams as chairman of theHSouth Caro Itaa Relief Council. The governor was promptly informed by Washington that the council would not function. Jnfde Miller-F-oster was appointed to Mr. Baker, bat resigned with in a month, stating that he had been MRS. BROWN HOSTESS TO U. 1). C. CHAPTER. Mrs. F. S. Brown was hostess to the members of the Johnson Ha good *. » v Chapter, U. D. C., on Friday evening at her home on upper Main Street. The rooms were made attractive by tastefully arranged spring flowers. After a short business session, pre sided over by Mrs. .Brown, president, in which several matters of import ance to the chapter were discussed and passed upon, the historical ■ p^per for the evening was given by Mrs. G. M. Greene, whose subject was “The Four Flags of the Confederacy.” 1 In the drive sponsored by the U. D. C.’s for the planting of memorial trees to Robert E. Lee, this chapter pledged a tree, for each member, one of which will be placed on the Court House grounds during the coming week. During the social half-hour, several unique contests were entered into with zest, prizes being won hy Mrs. J. N. Dicks, Mrs. P. W. Price a ricTM rs. G. M.

The Ford enable^ you to step up into the fine-car class in per formance, beauty, corhfort and safety. But there is no stepping up in price.
