JOHN W. HOLME3 1S49—1912. B. P. DAWES, Editor and Proprietor. Entered at the poat office at Barnwell, 8. C., aa second-class matter. SUBSCRIPTION RATES: • One Year $1.50 Six Months - JM) Three Months — .50 (Strictly In Adrance.) THURSDAY, AUGUST 1ST, 1935. President Rosevelt has designed a new “midget money,” and just at a time when most of ua are finding it rather hard to make a regulation-size dollar bill do its duty and “bring home the bacon.” Indoor Sports. We note that an account of a mar riage was recently published on the sports page of a South Carolina daily newspaper. The editor probably de cided that it came under the classifi cation of indoor sports. A New Departure. We see by The State (Columbia) that the “Peoples Banking Company, Orangeburg,” has been granted a char ter “to manufactifre and sell bread and other edibles.” Well, many a de positor in a defunct bank can testify that his “goose was cooked” when the bank failed, but “to manufacture and ■sell bread and other edibles” is cer tainly a new departure for a solvent institution. American Cotton Production. Sixty per cent, of the world’s cotton is produced in the United States; 15.8 per cent, in India; 6.7 per cent, in Egypt, and 19 per cent, in the re mainder of the world. In 1932 the United States produced 13,000,000 bales, at an average of $37.42 a bale, including seed, and in 1934, 9,750,000 bales, at an average of $78.93 a bale, including seed, the value of the two year’s crops being $483,912,000 and $873,10&,000, respec tively. In other words Southern cot ton farmers received nearly twice as much for a crop of less than ten mil lion bales as they did for a 13-million bale crop. - ~. Unfair Charges. Flat Rock Bows to the NRA. well, mr. editor) the death of the nra diddn’t hurt flat rock verry much, it pleased 2 or 3 of bur bizness firms a' right's mart, but they dlidden’t do an- ny good befoar we had the nra and they didden’t dp anny good while we had the nra and noboddy expects them to do*’ aftny good without the nra. r , _—yore corry spopdent, mr. mike Clark, rfd, expects to run his beef market on the nra plfin, as it has proved to be of much help to him and his 2 employers, vizzly:~mr. mike Clark, his wife, and snowball while, as we did not gcrto work till 8 a. m. and always quit when the folk 8 stop ped trading at 5:30 p. m. moving very fast either, so it is pos sible that the sale of hard licker won't run hog-wild. For the life of me, I can’t figure who is going to buy it; school teachers, store clerks, rail road men, truck drivers, filling sta tion agents and other people who work can’t afford to fopl With it, therefore —it looks sorterjllike the loafer s and boss men and politicians will have to do most of the^ consuming, except what little (?) our menfolks and womenfolks drink .^at—night while bridjging or pokering or jUSt^-plain celebrating. For the most part, we have regard ed the editorials in The Greenville Ob server ag being fair and containing good hard common sense, but when Editor Koester, a bitter critic of the New Deal, quotes from an article in The Saturday Evening Post we are forced to accept his conclusions with reservations. Recently, The'Calhoun Times prais- «d President Roosevelt for the manner Sn which he handled the banking situa tion immediately after his inaugura tion, and The Observer seeks to die- tract from that great achievement In a series of misleading articles in The Saturday Evening Post (a notorious Republican publication), two writers sought to saddle the bank crisis aquarely upon President Roosevelt’s ■shoulders because of his “persistent silence” between the time that he was elected in November and‘inaugurated the following Maich. We are told that he was urged to make a reassuring statement by President Hoover and his secretary of the treasury, Ogden Mills, as well as Democratic leaders. The Observer does admit, however, that “Roosevelt’s silence did not whol ly create the banking situation which confronted him when he took the oath of office as president” but that “it was the major factor in producing that situation.” Why, Lord bless your soul, the banking panic started ‘way back in the early 20’s, it s first effects being felt in the South. President Hoover went into office at the crest, almost, of the Coolidge boom and in less than m year after his inauguration the financial bubble burst—in October, 1929, to be-exact. That was three years before Mr. Roosevelt’s, election, and, in the. meantime, conditions had gone from bad to worse, with banks ^hosting” right in the faces of their depositors. How any sane person, by any possible stretch of the imagina thm, cap place the blame for the bank •crisi r upon President Roosevelt is be yond our feeble comprehension. On the other hand!, we firmly believe that the re-election of Mr. Hoover would have brought a Moody revolution in the United States. We do not approve of all of the yolkies of the “New Deal, but to at-' jtenpt to charge President Roosevelt wth a condition for which the Repuhli «a» party is solely responsible is grossly unfair and unworthy of Ameri can journalism, no matter how parti- mm the writer may be. stop and start, a retail stoar, has newer liked the add-ministration an^ they are the ones that is the happiest, they failed to get a job handling the fera funds, and allso fell but with the ccc boss because he would not force his boys to trade at their stoar. they will return to their old lO-hours- a-day and as little as possible ^ per week for their 3 clerks. u some folks would not min<j seeing the farmers starve with c30 corn and c50 wheat and) c6 cotton if they could make c75 per day in their trading *and trafficking in excels of what they would make if the said farmers got a live-and-let-live price for the sweat of their brows, the govver- ment tried to help ourselves, but we ain’t going to be bossed by noboddy. Off to the Summer Resorts. Well, friends—it’s time to pack up and go to the beach, if you can make arrangements with your grocer to carry your March, April, May and June account till Fall, and then slip off without leaving your address so’s the installment agents won’t be pes tering you while you are vacationing. mr. edditor, we flat rock citizens hope we won’t go back to where the dimmercrats found! us, we don’t know what has hope us, but we Hn’t a- feared of our banks now^.and most of us have got some of our detts paid, and our childrens are wearing better clothes, and all of u s feels better and can hold our heads up higher. it mought not of benn the nra, but it was some of her brothers and sisters that turned the trick. our poleesman says he will stick to the nra hours regardless of the suppreme court, he will go to work after breakfast with 2 hours off for dinner and 1 hour off for a nap, and will stop work just befoar supper; this skedule .will keep him on and off his _____ beet 8 hours per day including. sud-j.R^m-p going to sleap, ^TiBia savlwJ days, jeggal hdliday g , and julie the 4th. everthing is getting along o. k. except the peeple and politicians. yors trulie, mike Clark, rfd., corry spondtent. What’ll You Have? -_ l Our government is going to get on its feet thru the whiskey tax, and naturally the repeal of prohibition takes the bootleggers (perhaps) off of the government’s feet. Anyway, all of us expect to see more money pass into the hands of the spenders to be spent without stint. Naturally all of us must drink lots and lots of this government licker. If we would have better schools, bet ter roads, better jails and better poor- houses. It^pouldn’t be right for Un cle Sam to permit the manufacture and sale of ^_ze,^£yJJignJ,gnore Kim and it. 1 --If the head pf the family will get drunk notless than twice a week and thus force his children to go partly naked and mostly hungry, he will af ford tuition and coal for a pupil in high school for nearly 3 minutes every day for 2 days. If he should get drunk 6 times a week, and run his wife a- way from home, multiply his usefull- ness by 3. --But mebbe folks won’t drink any more whiskey than they have been drinking. If that’s the case, thi new innovation will help a great deal. First, the government .will get the tax; Second), better stuff will possibly be available,- and Third—it will be easier to check up on church mem bers who must go into a whiskey store and come out the same door. -.The repeal of prohibition will cause thousands .upon .thousands of. stills, worms, beer vats, potash and lye troughs, and other moonshine equip ment to be junked, that is—if the new laws are enforced. Many store 8 will continue to sell bayrum and shoe polish and canned heat at bargain prices; therefore; if a man has only 25 cents to get drunk on, he.will have to resort to these cheaper 'pottages, as he cairt buy even a 1-minute whiff of legal Jbice for les 8 than 35c. —Beer didn’t go so hot, wine ain’t ——Our family i 8 making a home made sea-shore resart at our house. That’s as near the ocean as we will be able to get this season on account of the NRA. Our present plan is to work all day as usual. At night, when werall get through eating sup per (bread, butter, water, and more bread), we accumulate in the back yard. suits and Bevy-Dees. One of us takes the hose in one hand and a salt cellar in the other; we squirt water on the folks and throw salt in their eyes at the same time. To get the effect of rid ing the waves, we roll over a barrel every now and then. To obtain a natural ocean’s roar, we make our lit tle dog growl all the time while gnaw ing a bone. —After we get thru swimming, we sit around and make like each of us is some other person. We brak on how rich we are, how many cars we own, how many servants we employ, how many thousands of dollars we lost during the recent panic, and how close kin the Roosevelts and Tal- madges are to us. We also talk about not fetching our real nice clothes with us thi 8 summer. —^We retire after geting a suffi cient quantity of ozone breezes, lean ing that we go to bed. We have rent ed an electric fan; we trun that on so’s it will rake all 3 of the beds in the sleeping porch. We also hang a newspaper in front of the fan to keep’ up the effect of the murmuring break ers as they roll in from a distant shore. minutes about the poor food, • the hard beds, the stuck-up Smiths and the idiotic Jones, who evidently have plenty of money. —-When we want to spend a while in the mountains, we simply do away with the ocean’s roar and.the leaping waves. We still use the hose though, and the backyard and the bathing suits. We inhale the cool, sombre^ breezes that steal across the cedar- topped mountains, and talk about those wondterful 'balsam odors that flicker here and there within reach '•f %•* oqr noses. We retire and run the fan, pull 3 blankets over Us unti] we sweat ourselve s most to death, and then we throw them off and go to sleep . . . and dream of where we are want to be, but ain’t. and we had to endure the tortures jof thirst for 3 or 4 hours. I don’t sup pose any of us will ever forget the long hikes we took and the weary hours of drilling in the^rain and mud, for I think it rained every day while we were there. I spent Sunday, July 17th on top of Look-Oue Mountain, where one of the greatest battle^of the Civil War took place, and as J^stood on the edge of the mountain and lorfked down into the city I could well imagine why this battle was called the battle above the cl olid s. — I think we all enjoyed this trip, but The Rev. W. J. Snyder Improve*. The Barnwell friendi of the Rev. W. J. Snyder, pastor of the Conway Methodist Church, who has been quite ill at his home in Conway, will be glad to know that his 1 condition was “much improved” his week. While attending physicians said that . he .was by no means out of danger, they, now hold out some hope for his recovery.

We broke camp at sundown' *bedside. and marched until about mid-night then slept on a hill-side under our dog tents the remainder of the night. For breakfast we had hard-tacks, canned bacon and coffee, and about 9:00 o’ clock we bid farewell to the hills of Tennessee, and turned our faces home ward. About the only excitement on the return trip was Angus Patterson doing bayonet practice and challeng ing every stranger who happened to pass through the car. v I have no complete record) of the membership of the company, but as I remember them the names were as follows: Harold Simms, Captain; Frank Free, 1st Lieut.; George Cole, 2nd Lieut.; R.

The old company has long been disbanded, the boys have scattered to the four corners of the earth, and some have answered the final roll call. Just a few more years and! it will be “taps” for the rest of us. I am wondering how many pf us will be here to an swer to roH-call 25 years years from now—here’s hoping. 1 B. O. N.
