THURSDAY, JUNE 6TH, 1935. Relief Rolls Decline—Costs Increase Paradoxical as it may seem, the number of families on relief rolls throughout the country during April was 3.6 per cent, below the March figure, while on the other hand, the costs of relief gained! nearly one per cent, in the same period. In South Carolina there were 6,500 fewer fami lies on relief in April than in March, a decrease of 12.4 per cent. No figures were available a s to whether Or not there was an increase in costs in this State. Should Not Ignore Charges. Mr. Ben E. Adams, editor of The Carolina Free Press, a weekly news paper published at Columbia, prefer red a number of grave charges against the administration of federal relief in South Carolina in an editorial pub lished on ihe front page of last week’$ edition of that newspaper. It is re produced in this issue of The People- Sentinel for the information of our readers. Mr. Adams’ allegations that county relief offices are being mal-adminis- tered should' not be allowed to go un challenged by those charged with the administering of fedeial relief funds in this State. They should not be ig nored. While Mr. Adams is not specific in his allegations—that' is, he does not name any specific county administra tion in his editorial—the State ad ministrator should clear the county administrations of the charges, or 'dear them out. Mr. Adams says: "Those in charge have become more and more arrogant. They have now assumed the position that they are above the reach of the law and not accountable to any agency. They are badly fooled. Perhaps they can pad payrolls; misappropriate commodSties; fatten expense accounts and £ et by ■with it. But when they assume the attitude of dictators and treat honest, 'willing-to-work men and women like a gallon of corn whisey was found in the otter-mobeel of art square by the poleesman Sunday’afternoon be twixt the outskirts and the liberty not -poured ries of a’l such employes?’ Will he tell how to set about ousting ‘em ployes that are objec-tienable to the public?’ From what we hear there are many such on the various relief rolls, their ‘objectionable’ nature be- out, and that the poleesman was saw wearing a new stutson hat the next dlay. no case was docketed, it looks .like he was forbid with the hat and half of the it looks like a divorce case betwixt iperry winkle and his wife, they have benn fussing end scrapping for 6 weeks onner count of he don’t want the mdther-in-law to live in the same house with him. he flung a waiter bucket at her on a recent date and knocked her specks off and budted'Jt against the looking glass in the set ting-room. ing due to a variety of causes, chief among; which seems to be the em ployment of men and women Vith other sources of income which keej) the postmaster is short about 23$ and it soury like 1 year and! 1 day for him in atlanta on a vissit. he says he can explain it all as the monney or der has benn found which his wife cashed 'While he was off on a fishing trip enduiing last month, he will make up the shortage, she spent it on the down payment for a set of false teeth with the footh dentist, but they won’t stay in. mr. holsum moore (the husband of the informant) will possibly be named as permanent relief addministrator at an early date. mrs. holsum more her self, will have as dinner guesses next Sunday, the governor of thd state, all- so hooey long and seeker-terry ickes. sallie may moore will possibly be mar ried in June to scott emulsion, grand son of mr. vanderbilk of new york. and then she went home. yores trulie, mike Clark, rfdl, corry spondent.
