If prices continue to soar, Barnwell soil will soon have to be sold by the square inch or tablespoonful. One of our best prophets sayg that 1910 bids fair to be as poor a crop year as 1881. We hear of one farmer who has 35 acres of wheat, five or ^ix acres of which will give a harvest of seven barrels of flour each. Mr. A. P.

Carolina Free Press Makes Grave Charges * 'Columbia Paper Says “It’s Time to . Kick Parasites Out of Relief Offices in This State.” The following editorial appeared on first page of last week’s issue of Carolina Free Press4 Ii*a time for action. The people of Asa State have been patiently expect ing a change for the better in the awiwiiiistration of relief. That change Mm* mot come. Ear two years this paper has expo?- the disgraceful way in which relief has been thrbwn away while men and women begged in vain ter a fair deal. For the past three aMBths we have kept quiet in the hope mad belief that a better day had ar rived. We were mistaken; we are dis- appomted. Conditions harve not chang- edtfcr the better. While a few changes base been made here and there the ^uawc old discrimination continues. There is no point in keeping quiet ■41 longer. We can not andi will not silent while administrators, iters, social workers, super- nrs, directors, political pets, social ■rites, and full time workers-ttraw ; salaries and waste money grid food, ie poor, unemployed men and beg for work while their chil- .«!*» irry for food. And that condition •'exists in South Carolina. The *drtor of this paper, speaking a mass meeting of unemployed at the Richland County court house re cently urged the people not to take dnartic action until they haj made an Konrst and fair appeal to Col. James D. Fulp, State administrator of relief. That advice was followed. An appeal was made. Whs.t good did it do? ?fox>r. Apparently the administrator is without authority to make changes. Therefore, there is no use in appeal ing to him. t J>ay after day The editor of this. paper listens to the plea of aged men and women who are without wbrk'and without hope. They are treated like outcasts when they go to the county relief offices. They are not allowed to see those in charge. Some of them get one day’s work a week at $1.80, and are told to take it andi get. out. At the same time social workers and office helpers get full time pay rang ing from $14 to $25 a week and auto mobile expenses. It’s time for a change. And the people who have been and are being mistreated might as well take the situation in hand. They have nothing to lose. If the money is going to be wasted and used to build up a political machine for Washington, the quicker it is stopped the better. From all parts of the State are re ports of mismanagement in the handl ing of relief. Those in charge have become more and more arrogant. law and not accountable to any agency. They are badly fooled. Per haps they can pad payrolls; misap propriate commodities; fatten expense accounts and get by with it. But when they assume the attitude of dic tators and treat honest, willing to work men and womeTi, like - slaves i nd beggars they go too far. A day of reckoning will-come. It is time for action. We must not let relief dictators ruin this country. The people have borne the yoke of discrimination and vile treatment bng enough. Washington may talk about sending millions to South Carolina for the needy; but the needy are not get ting it. And the quicker and more emphatic w/ arc in letting the public know it the better. Train Victim Is Identified. Williston, May 29.—A white man whose mangled body was found on the Southern railway tiacks two miles here early Monday was identi fied as Andrew E. Sfoudemire, of Gov. Johnston Urges Law Enforcemement Tells Statewide Meeting of Officers to Pay Particular Attention to Liquor Statute. Columbia, ^une 4.—Gcvernbr Olin D. Johnston organized his State con stabulary yesterday and clfargedl it with the prime responsibility of en forcing the new liquor law in a speech at a Statwide conference of laV en forcement officers here. He told several scores of officers assembled in the hall of the house cf representatives that ‘‘South Carolina is undertaking a big proposition in .

Lightsey, of legalizing liquor” and that “many | Brunson; J. H. Harbin, |pr., of Andfer- ishor questions” concerning the new law would arise in its enforcement. “We want enforcement of all the laws,” the governor asserted, “and particularly this new law just put on the statute books.” He added that its success depended upon its enforcement and said, “the less rigidiy it is enforced, the quicker it will be repealed.” Explaining he was a personal and political dry, he TdTd The 'bfficefs tHat “I never did anything that hurt me more’* than ^igning the liquor act but added he felt it was the will of the people. ^ He announced the appointment of his constabulary for the liquor law enforcement and asserted the mem bers would be forbidden to drink liquor “on or off duty.” He added that they would be ordered to en force not only the liquor law but “all the laws.” The governor, who presided, opened the meeting with a-brief invocation and then invited the officers to go to the executive mansion after the conference for refreshments. After the governor’s address, the meeting was tesolved into an open discussion of the new liquor law, with many officers asking' questions and Attorney-General John M. Dahiel, J. Fraser Lyon, tax commission, counsel, Chairman W. G. Query of .the com mission anj th® governor answering them. Questions such as: “May an officer sign a search warrant as informer i? upon information furnished by some one else?” “Shall confiscated un stamped liquor be destroyed on the spot or can it be sold at auction?” “Upon whom is the burden of proof if a dealer is found selling liquor to a minor who represented-himself as 21?” “May cities enact ordinances to forbid drinking at certain places?” “Can evidence illegally obtained bo Used against defendants in liquor cases?” and many others came in rapid fire order.

F. C. Robinson of the tax com mission, in charge of liquor revenue administratiqfn, urged the co-opena- ticn of the officers in furnishing in formation concerning applicants for licenses. “We have made every effort possi ble,” he said “to learn the history” of every applicant. He pledgee jthe co operation of the commission with the governor and the law enforcement of ficers. • The officers unanimously pledged their co-operation to the^governor, his constabulary and the tax commission with a rising vote, which’concluded the meeting. —■ ' ■: — Governor Johnston Names Constabulary Chief.Executive Announces Appoint ment of 21, Heeded by J.

Only ten per cent of the firms that start in business survive long enough to become known as established firms. The peicentage to reach the half cen tury mark is much smaller yet. But General Gilbert is of the opinion that the nation-wide search will find several thousand American establishments that “have made the grade and should be articulate in the formation of prin ciples to underlie business guidance and control.” “It will also be interesting to locate, and give prominence, to that concern in the* Unites States which has been in continuous operation for the .long est span of years,” he said. How many other concerns in Barn well County can qualify for member ship in the club? ’ ♦ » ■x~x»<~x»<k~x~X"X~x~x-:~> ‘i-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-r-x PROTECT YOUR FURS FROM MOTHS ■ FIRE - THEFT STORE THEM NOW! ^ Sn our cold storage vault of frigid temperature your fiirs will be safe from the,ravage of moths and safe from the ravage of Jtheft and fire.
