HAD I BUT KNOWN.. W' e:. r Had I but known the words I spoke In anger would live on, And wound the hearts of many Long after wrath had gone, I would have curbed my passion Arid fought it out alone; Had I but known. Had I but known the frown I wore Made other lives more drear, And made me shunned by those I know, By those whom I hold dear, I would have smiled in spite of woe. And saved a wrinkle here;. Had I but known. Had * but known the flowers I grew Cheered the passer-by, And made the songbird sing more sweetly, I would not let them lie Withered 1 and choked by weeds, Which make them fade and die; Had I but known. Had I but known the one who came A stranger at my door, Was heartsick, tired and weary, With only one day more To trod the earth, I would have given freely of my meager store; Had I but known. Nellie E. Mitchell. Our good! friend, Ben ^E. Adams, solon-editor of the 'Carolina Free Press, who rode into office last sum mer on the wave of a bitter attack against the high cost of State and 'county relief administrations, during the incumbency of^Govemor Black- wood, met with a delegation, of the unemployed end “relief clients” in Columbia last week and seems to have done considerable soft-pedaling about the cost of the present adbninistrations. So far as we have been able to observe, if there has been any revision of the cost of administration it has been up ward, with the addition of various dis trict offices, and little, f any, reduc tion in county administration person nel. We are not saying that those en joying so-called “white-collar” jobs are not as deserving of relief as other classes of the unemployed, but are y calling attention- that administrative costs have appar ently been increased uncter the new set-up, in the face of which Mr. Adams is net us bitter in rus criticism as for merly. Should Be Investigated. The practice of allowing convicts in the State penitentiary or on the State farm to visit their families or friends in other parts of South Caro lina, even when such convicts are ac companied by armed guards, should be investigated. The latest such inci dent resulted in the escape of “Bo” Milter, a notorious convict from Barn- weU County, who had twice before evaded the clutches of’the law. Penitentiary authorities were warn- ^ by Sheriff J. B. Mortis of Miller’s dangerous proclivities in effecting his escape, and the prediction was made by the sheriff that he would escape fren the State penal authorities be- fbre the expiration of his term. His prediction came true Sunday, when ‘Bo’ retained to this county, accompanied by two guards, to visit his wife. We presume that the visit was financed by the State—the taxpayers. In this instance, at least, such gen erosity was not necessary, as Miller is said to receive a subtantial pension from the federal government each month. If he desires to see any mem ber of his family or one or more of his friends, it seems to us that he him self could have provided the necessary fonds out of the proceeds from one of his monthly checks. Why should he have been given a two-guard escort and an automobile ride from the State farm to his home in Barnwell County ? Governor Johnston, when he went into office, discarcled the practice, .in augurated by a previous adlministra- tion, of issuing “leaves of absence” and “furloughs” to convicts. We sin cerely hope that he will put his stamp of disapproval on this other practice. Jonhdoes) have a right to know these names, the facts, the figures. Aston- things. Their suppression incites , ad verse criticism—perhaps' unjust criti- cism. ; -v —r~ You Johnsmiths and'Johndoes have a right to know whether your tax money is being used tp support those who are actually in need Of relief. You are paying the bills, whether you actually realize it or jiot. Soft-Pedaling. “Corn’s com to a hog,” says The New and Courier in discussing edi torially “The Many Uses for Corn,” Yeah, and in the liquid state it makes hogs out of a lot of human bipeds. WHITE YOUTH IS KILLED BY HIT-AND-RUN DRIVER ___ > Malcolm Stevenson, 18-year old white youth, was killed some time Sat urday night or early Sunday morning when struck by a hit-and-run driver on the highway between Willistdn and White Pond, according to a report re ceived here. The hour of his death was fixed at approximately one o’ clock Sunday morning, as a companion with whom he is said to have left Wil- liston reported that he left Stevenson lying at the edge of the highway sortly before midnight. Stevenson is said to have complained of being tired and hungry and laid down to rest, his companion going on to his home. An inquest was held but no ver dict has yet been returned, according to Sheriff J. B. Morris. ishing things have come out in the aldermanic investigation in New York city, the case of Adolph Weiss, for example. As tong as the detail* of costs of federal administration of agencies shall be kept from the peo ple of South Carolina, the people of South Carolina will be suspicious and there will be word-of-mouth gossip, much of which will, be false. .

Will he tell how to) set about ousting “employes that are objectionable to the tpublic”? (From what we hear there are many such on the various relief rolls, their “objectionable” na- tore being due to a variety of causes, chief among which seems to be the employment of men and women with aourees of income which keep them from being objects of relief or pabHc charity.) Will he tell how the administrative peraoanel is selected—whether or not the actual need of the applicant out- weighs efficiency ? .
