One Day’s Death Toll. The following headlines appeared on the front page of Monday’ s issue of The State: “Five Meet End at Rail Crossing,” “Five Men Killed at Rail Crossing,” “Two Meet Doom in Road Mishap” and “Two Lose Lives in Lake Mishap.” Twelve of the 14 fatalities reported were the result of automo bile accidents. Up in North Carolina an epidemic of infantile paralysis is raging, but so far the death toll has not been as great from this dreaded disease as Sunday’s automobile fatal ities. We worry about epidemics of j disease—and, take traffic accidents as a matter of/course. Why? South—following the example of this State in acceding from- the.. Union—* with crystalizing latent opposition to Wounding man in altercation, ij.rape, the present administration? "The fought a bloody war in defense of the question of State’s rights, and all signs now point to that issue being injected into the campaign in 1936. Whether it will bring about the de feat of Senator Byrnes and 1 the defec tion of South Carolina from the nation al Democratic party, of course, remain s to be seen, but a brisk, bloodless bat tle will no doubt be fought out on the hustings next summer. Already, Former Senator Cole I*. Blease (who onfy a few days before ba4 announced that he would not be a candidate for the Senate in cithet 1936 or 1938 but would rurt for gover nor three years hence) has publicly stated that “if necessary” he ^»^ aidh ^ even Ynow'could h^t again oppose Senator Byrnes next 1; murder, 2.

Ever since that doctor . r ~- ' * told me te get off of a jiifthhorse be- ' » i it cause of my unsatisfactory blood pressure, I have been ailing all over. J hurt frequently in place s thaK^I Blease and the Constitution. Not so many years ago, Former Senator (then Governor) Cole L. Blease was quoted as saying “to hell with the constitution” when the sub ject under discussion was the lynch law. Now he is advocating constitu tional government and says that he will oppose Senator Byrnes for re- election next year “if necessary to de fend State’s rights” should they be threatened by proposed amendments to the fedferal constitution. Mr. Blase i g no different from many other politicians and people, who are for or against the constitution (State or national) as their present needs and purposes require. Mr. Furman H. Dicks. The editor of The People-Sentinel feels a sense of personal loss in the death of Mr. Furman H. Dicks, who passed awtay at his home near Dun barton Spnday afternoon. The writer first became acquainted ’with Mr. Dicks while" serving his apprenticeship with The Barnwell People, and on the occasions of his visits to the late Maj. John W. Helmes* he always had a pleasant word for “the boys” in the office. When We later became editor of the paper, the early acquaintance ship ripened into friendship, and he was always a welcome caJler at this office on his visits to Barnwell Mr. Dicks was a kindly-, courteous gentleman of the old school, a Christ ian, a devoted' husband and father and a loyal friend. He will be greatly missed in his church and community. Peace to hig ashes. Senator year “in defense of StateVT-ights,” and The Newberry Herald and News a couple of weeks ago called on For mer Congressman Butler B. Hare, of the old Second District, to offer for “the vacancy created by Senator Byrnes.” It doesn’t require a great stretch of the imagination to envision Senator Blease finding it “necessary” to enter the lists in 1936. He ha s been run ning so long that it has become a habit with him* but would his advocacy of State’s rights regain the ground that ,he has Jost in many quarters in the past few years ? Organized labor was blamed for hi s defeat by Senator Byrnes in 1930, and 1 the labor vote was pretty solidly against him in his race against Governor Olin D. Johnston a year ago. In this connection it ig in teresting to note that at an organized labor meeting in the Horse Creek Val ley last week he was condemned for hi s criticism-of the Wagener labor disputes bill recently passed by Con gress. Frankly, we don’t know what will be the outcome of the political battles » of 1936. Many people believe that the huge relief appropriation of $4,- 800,000,000 will return President Roosevelt to the White House for an other term. The campaign cry will probably be, “He brought us out of the depression,” just as in 1916 Presi dent Wilson was re-elected because “He kept u s out of war.” But only a few months later we were in the war up to our necks and in 1920 the Demo cratic party went down in ignominious defeat and 1 the Republicans returned to power for another 12 years. His tory has recorded what they did to the country during that time. • So, a s to what is going to happen, your guess is ag good as ours and “we shall see what we shall see”—and that will probably be plenty. __I thought I was improving till I picked up an almanac and read a few verses in it the other day. It began to ask questions, such as: “Do you feel a fullness after eating?” (I do). “Do you sweat suddenly after meals in hot weather?” / (Whyj that’s me all over.) v __“Do you suffer sudden pains in your stuftmick while galloping on a horse?” Well, I don’t gallop on no horse, but I ride in a Ford, and those pains he is Wking about are dimply terrible. “Do you feel dizzy after looking straight up at the star ^ctaurus?” Folks, when I lean back and look at that star, I become so dizzy I have to sit down. -.“Do you imagine that you are troubl ed with skipping of the hear:?” There ain’t an hour in the day or night but what my heart skips at least 5 beats out of 50, and I a'm sure I have caught it jumping and skipping (at the same time) as many a s 6 beats out of 15; but, of course, this only takes place after I try to beat a train to the crossing or go past a red light.

(Now, I am willing to answer that last question, but I prefer that my answer be kept strict ly confidential: I do). I am guilty of being afflicted with all this guy sug gests.

Just what ig going to happen in national and State politics next year,- no nun living can safely predict, but coming events are casting such shad ows as to lead one to believe that something going to happen. It hasn’t Been so very long since The News ano\Courier was the only newspaper in South Carolina with the temerity to criticise the New Deal— and this it has donP, in and out of season. If the casual Racier had not known that it wa s published in the Palmetto State, famous foi\ its rock- ribbed Democracy, he could hot have been blamed' for jumping to thV con- dusion that the Charleston papeh is a Republican organ. But times , change, and men and newspapers with them. Here and there among our exchanges we are beginning to see out-croppings of op- position to New Deal policies, while in some instances they have burst forth into full bloom. The Newberry Herald and News is fast becoming almost as bitter in its eriticisra as The News and Courier, and only last week our Charleston contemporary praised Editor Arm- field's editorial page for it s pithiness, And why shouldn’t Doctor Ball praise it? It was devoted mostly to attacks on the New Deal and he could hardly have done a better job himself. And among the editorials was one in which Editor Armfield draws the conclusion that The. Greenville News, long a staunch advocate of the Roose- veH. administration, is preparing to linekip against the New Deal. The Greenville Observer ig another South Carolina paper that hurls barbed shafts at New Deal policies. What does all of this portend? And tam the explosion that followed Sena tor Byrnes’ alleged report to Presi- 4ent Roosevelt on political conditions in Booth Carolina had anything to do The members of Siloam ^Church are asked to meet at the church on Wed nesday morning, July 17th, for the purpose of cleaning up the grounds. Those who cannot come are asked to send someone who will help in their stead. Committee. BlackviUe Playground Opens.

If that fails, I will take a swing at fruit and vegetables, with an occasional sodia cracker. If I don’t improve after these experiments, I might quit working but 14 hours per day, and take a vacation of 2 or 3 who'le day s nexjt, year. You may rest assured that I intend to improve my condition, even if . I have to‘spend a day or so at a health, resort in Au gust. . Yours nervously, , Gee McGee.
