THURSDAY, JUNE 20TH, 1935. A code of fair practice,debtors 'would' probably do more (if ob served) to restore prosperity than the NRA codes outlawed' by the Supreme Court recently, And then there is the man who, when his newspaper is discontinued for non payment of dues, continues to enlighten himself by borrowing friend neighbor’s copy. We see by the papers that girl triplets were born in Goldsboro, N. C., while the father was at a ball game. The moral i s for expectant fathers not to attend ball games. It is said that “one half of the world doesn’t know how the other Ikalf lives.” Well, if they fail to pay all of their debts like they do the email amounts due us, we’ve a pretty good idea The late Capt Isaac A. Dyches, of Hilda, on a visit to Barnwell in June, 1910, recalled an incident of the cyclone^ that swept through Sleigh- town on Aprl 23rd, 1883, we learn from an old copy of The Barnwell Peo ple. We quote as follows: “On the morning after, Capt. Dyches, having heard nothng of its destructiveness, started to see Mr. Gorge W. Morris, three miles distant, on some school matter. Before reach ing his destination he was forced to leave the road and pick his way through the woods. On gettng to the settlement he found: that every house on the place had been blown down on the day before. Mr. Morris was em ployed in picking up his hams from the ruins of his smoke house, throwing they have a right to more than a bare} CITATION NOTICE, existence?

Anothtf* thing Brother Davies leaves i but - of his reckoning: Farmers are not the dumb, mute, submissive creatures “It was not thought that the dis continuance of direct relief would cause curtailment in administration personnel.”—News dispatch from Co lumbia. Of course not. People have ceased to hope that there will be any curtailment—or even a change—in administration personnel. Representative Allen Treadway (Re publican), of Massachusetts, complains against the AAA’s practice of “im posing taxes on one section of our citizens to pay bounties to another.” And this complaint comes from the representative of a section that has used the high tariff to bleed consumers white for generations. Don’t make us laugh! The State says that “A copy of pos sibly the only issue of a newspaper printed entirely in red ink in the his tory of South Carolina if not Ameri can journalism—the “Red Shirt” Is sue of the Edgefield Advertiser Aug ust 16, 1878—has just been presented to the South Carolina collection of the TTniversity of South CaroTTnaT” "While the issue is distinctive because of its i association with the “Red Shirt” cause, we beg to remind The State that The Calhqun Times, published at St. Matthews by our good friend, Runyan Morris, formerly of Barnwell, has is sued several “Christmas editions” printed entirely in red ink. theip in « pile. Capt. Dyches said to his neighbor: ‘You are ruined,’ to whch Mr. Morrs replied, ‘A man is never ruined until his neck is broken.” His gratitudfe that his family had es caped unhurt over weighed the loss of his buildings. He went to work energetically and soon recovered from the storm damages.” That was more than a half-century ago. Compare that picture with what would doubtless happed should such a disaster visit mpny present-day farm ers. In the first place, there probably wouldn’t be any hams to pick up from the ruins of the smoke house and throw into a pile, andl instead of go ing “to work energetically” and s oon recovering “from the storm damages,” there would be a great temptation to hot-fot it to the nearest relief office for help from Uncle Samuel, and the loss that had been sustained would serve forever after as an excuse to evade payment of honest debts. Don’t Be So Gloom, Brother. “But, hell! What’s the use?” So Col. Ben P. Davies winds up an editorial in the esteemed Barnwell People-Sehtinel. He was deprecating the $19 minimum monthly wage paid the most common type of labor in the South by PWA as compared with a $40 minimum in the North and West. We quote: “We have a region favored by na ture with an almost ideal climate. Al most any crop can be produced in our long growing season. Yet, we are not allowed to “cash in” on that God-given asset. Instead, we are penalized in order that favored classes in less fav ored regions may profit. We are handicapped in order that the dwellers in the big cities may pay less for what they consume and thereby be enabled to pay more in rents to main tain the fine stores and office build County of Barnwell.

We concede that the farmer in many ways is much better off that he was when President Roosevelt was in augurated and that this great leader has done more in an attempt to better conditions in the agricultural sections I than any of his predecessors.

And Editor Armfield can, by no stretch of the imagination, class us with those who do not desire to see the farmer come into his own.

But it is discouraging to see industrial labor faring ^o much better than the farm ers—and quite of:en at the expense |of agridultune—and there certainly isn’t anything encouraging in the ex- isting wage differential. ffe repeat what we have said many times before: What the farmer re ceives for what he produces must be brought in closer price relationship with what he buys, either by govern ment subsidy or the lowering of tariff walls. We can never be prosperous as long as we are forced, to buy in a protected market and sell in a world market. Foreign Papers, Please Copy.

The honorable social worker gets mileage for her car and a salary that would! make the average woman weep for joy, while the unfortunate widow with seveial Final! children must furnish her own sawing machine and 1 work like a dog in order to make 75 cents a day .... If anyone frauds the government out. cf a dol lar’s worth of stamps, they will put “him in prison. But a ui*n or woman -can go to the ‘government’ awl telHr falsehood and get several dollars worth of goods, or a big salary, and they think nothing of it.” Are such conditions as these gen eral in the administration of federal relief in South Carolina s 4<> coun ties? Is it possible thst there are men and women in this proud old State who are telling falsehoods in order to get “several dollars worth of goods, or a big salary’ ? Do you, dear reader, know of any such in- atances? — instances of men and women wtih other sources cf income who are drawing fat salaries^ (plus mileage in gome cases) while “widows with several small children” work like -dogs “in order to make 75 cents a Ay?" If the picture painted by The News and Courier’s St. George corrcspond- «nt is true, then it it not «t all surpris ing to hear caustic criticism of federal relief administration in the Sfkte. How much longer will those charged with administering relief keep silent in the face of such charges^ Why doesn't the State administrator’s of- ungs and homes.’ Mr. Davies then asks how we can maintain our “vaunted standard of living” where such great discrepan cies in wages exist and continues: “If wages in the South were on the same scale as in the North and East, this section w’ould be one of the most prosperous in the worldi Farm pro ducts-^wnutdr-bririg-liIgtreT prices. Our people would have more money- twice as much—to spend. Farm lands would enhance in value. Homes and business houses would get much need ed repairs. “But the other sections of the coun try would not fare quite as well as in the past, and for that reason none of these things will come to pass in your lifetime or mine. We will con tinue under a double standhrd o4 wages, North and South,—struggling to make cur $19 wages buy enough of the things made with $40 wages to eke out a bare existence.” We agree fully with what is said in the first paragraph, but must dissent from some prophecies made in the second We do not believe—maybe it is based on mere hope—that the South will continue to be what Doctor Ball calls “the kitchen maid of the nation,” jeered at and fleeced and' neglected This newspaper has been critical of many phass of the New Deal, but we have had his solace: It is doing things to the established social and economic orders that ar? bound # tq— since you can’t bust a water pitcher and put it together again exactly as it was—make them far different from what they ever were in the past. He doesn’t^say so, he may not even realize it—often we suspect he doesn’t—but Mr. Roosevelt is taking the country apart; maybe when jjt i§ put back to gether again we will be more happily situated. This much we know: we won’t be situated* as we were. Let us ask Brother Davies some questions to illustrate our notion: Did he think five years ago he would ever see farmers paid a subsidy out of the United States treasury? Doesn’t it not seem to him a litle incongruous to see a soiled farmer walking around ynth a government check in his paw—a handout which, if asked five years ago, would have been considered a piece of sheer gall ? •thing to do; because Finland can af- ford to pay; because the debt, strictly speaking, is a post-war debt which ■biought relief to Finland when such relief.was vital to the welfare of the country.”- The newspapers of France, Great Britan, Italy and other, nations in debted' to the United States will please copy.
