. \ THURSDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1125. \ TUB BARNWELL PEOPLE-SENTINEL, BARNWELL, SOUTH CAROLINA COMMENTS ON MEN AND NEWS By SPECTATOR. The General Assembly of 1935— this present Legislature, of course— enacted a law allowing counties- to is sue bonds for roads, with a reimburse ment agreement with the State High way Department. Governor Johnston has not signed the Act. In fact, there are several of these Acts, more or less of the same tfort. Act 595 authorizes the State Highway Commission “to make an agreement or agreements with the road officials of any county pro-- viding for the advance by such coun ty of money.? necessary for the con struction of State Highways to the State Highway Commission and for the reimbursement of such moneys; to provide - fot the issuance of county bonds by any county for said purposes and to provide for payment of said bonds.” Another of these Acts is 597, to “provide for the construction of certain highways in Colleton County, pursuant to reimbursement agreement between the State Highway Commis sion and Colleton County,” etc. Do our people really^know what is of our cotton mills and power com panies as rebuilolers? We, the sons and grandsons of those who struggled' to build on the ruins of the old South are more ready to curb industry than to promote it. We ,have lost our per spective. Whait we most udgently need is pnore industry, more invest ment, more dievelopment, more mar kets for our products, more opportuni ties for our labor. South Carolina is proud of its land-marks, proud of its traditions, but the State Isn’t a muse um; it is or must be a hive of indus try. Give business its head and let it go; we already have all the regula- Vtory power we need to protect con sumers. Conditions Are Better. We are all confident that conditions are better than in 1932 and 1933. When President Roosevelt assumed his duties the country not only was in a bad way, but there seemed no hope. We can find fault with the means employed, but we are able to complain, at least; whereas, in 1933 we were about to quit. That doesn’t mean that GYLES RE-ELECTED BLACKVILLE MAYOR and then the Legislature made the Highway Department assume more than forty million dollars of road obli gations of some counties. That was a poor business and it has been so in equitable as to be iniquitous. Fbr ex ample, if your county had no roads you got no reimbursement. Worse than that, you don’t get any more new roads than the county with fat reim bursement. / The Highway Department was or ganized to build roads for the State— State'roads. Of course the temptation to play politics was—and is—very strong. Some counties backed in the full light of favor and others didn’t do much basking. Why was that? Ws, why was that? Well, some senators and representatives are go- getters. That is they capitalize their going on 7 First we have authorized a ^ixty-five million dollar bond issue an y P e c u l^ r sanctity attaches to the influence (ur power) and >inke terror measures arid means used by the Government to bring about recovery. A lot of’waste there has been, a lot of bally-hoo—but something has been accomplished, however stupendous the price. Now, whether more might have been accompished is a fair question. Judging conditions this year by last year I think we have lost ground 1 in agriculture. I know all about the fig ures of production of certain basic in dustries—steel, for example — but steel doesn’t make business in a large basic sense; it reflects conditions. Agriculture is a basic producer and upon it rests most of our economic well-being. This year I find corn sell ing for less than last year, and, of course, cotton is appreciably lower. These two commodities mean a lot to u-< in South Carolina, though we sell Tobacco has Blackville, Oct. 16.—Dr. Ryan A. Gyles was re-elected to serve as mayor of Blackville Monday. J. S. Creech, re-elected and S. G. Lowe, W < A. Fickling and John O’Gorman were elected as councilmen. The same voting ticket called for a change from intendant to mayor and wardens to councilmen^ Outgoing wardfens were G. F. Posey, L. Wengrow and W. H. Hightower. * Not only is Doctor Gyles BlajJc- ville’s first mayor, but heiihgs the dis tinction of having succeeded himself with no opposition. At the council meeting Monday evening, H. L. Buist was retained as clerk and treasurer. George Gray will continue as chief of police and Isaac Still as night police man. ’ V Son Freed of B|pme. Darlington, Oct. 17.—Howard Mc- Iver, 20, was absolved of blame by a coroner’s jury today following an inquest into the tragic accident in which his mother was fatally shot at the Mclver home in the Leavenworth section yesterday. Mrs. Lila Victor Mclver woke her son some time after midnight to in vestigate a disturbance in the chicken yard, according to testimony present ed at the inquest. Young toward got up and, without lighting a lamp, started toward the door with his shot gun. He walked into the door-facing in the dlark and the gun discharged accidently, the full load entering his mother’s head. Sanders by C. F.

GREENE, Master, Barnwell County. to highway officials; or, else, treat them so nicely that all comes to their door. But what is the Commission doing for the State as a whole if this little political play is essential means for getting roads? If Senator X and Senator Y get so much who, then, looks out for Podunk? Must Podrink elect a go-gutter, too? Then*the Conr- mission as & State agency isn’t func tioning. I say “isn't,” whereas it may he functioning now. But if you will ride around a bit you will see that not all sections, not all places have fared equally well. Of course not. If you think that the importance of the county determined this then you must ndmit that Batesburg and Leesville more tobacco than corn - , been the bright particular star— though only a small part of South Carolina enjoys the benefits of tobac co prices. I believe we should 1 hold all appro priations down and let the surplus revenue be used to pay debt?. The State should not spend even as much as it spent last year. We must hope the Legislature on the eve of an election will see the light; if not, we must a.*k the Governor to remember the .taxpayers. Next summer the taxpayer ought to be able to look out for himself. Legal Advertisements MASTER’S SALE.

Now, about these proposed new re imbursement agreements. That seems to take the matter out of the hands of the State again. Some counties will rush in and then the State must pay the bill! I think the Governor did well to refuse to sign thl*. If you agree with me then watch what is going on, for there will be an effort to override a veto. What Are CcJleges Doing? What sort of work is being done in our Colleges? Riding along the roads one can encounter a 4 dozen Clem- son cadlets trying to thumb a ride. Why aren’t our students occupied with literary societies on Saturdays? It is what the student does for himself that really counts. The old societiees compelled a man to reatfand think a little. Nowadays the habit of serious work seems to be lost sight of entirely. Not that we older ones worked all the time. No; not so; but what is the lad of today doing at school? Government Spending. • \ In the tobacco belt—parts of Claren don, Williamsburg, Florence, Horry, Marion, Darlington and Lee Counties —conditions are better; but with cot ton and corn selling f^r less than last year I think we are about holding our own, perhaps. Some construction is going on, but nothing like what we ex pected. The Government is still the principal spender. The overnment of South Carolina could be competently operated for much less than we are spending. Mast of our spending is dbne by men and women who pay very little in taxes. That is true everywhere. As soon as some one suggests a new or increased expenditure, they look about for some thing to tax. Only an aroused and militant opposition can prevent the virtual confiscation of business and homes through taxation. Our taxing bodies consider only their wants, not the condition of the taxpayer. The constant harrassment of business has nearly destroyed the incentive to invest. Without invest ment we can’t even hold our own. All that we have grow out of investments. Somebody or, some group saved and then hazarded the savings in some sort of enterprise. Those investments rebuilt the prostrate South after the Civil War. Who can masure the value Nogales, Mexico, Oct. 17.—Alarm spread through this border region to night with reports Mexican rebel raid ers were gaining recurits, receivng ammunition from the United States, and concentrating in the Altar area 50 miles southwest of Nogale?. Three Mexican fighting planes arm ed with machine guns left Nogales this morning to scout the Altar dis trict in search of the raiders, who have killed* at least nine persons in their uprising against the Sonora govern ment. How the rebels ootained ammunition from across the border remained a mystery of federal authorities here. It was reported much ammunition had been brought from Arizona by agents of the raiders. A large shipment wa.* reported to have passed through Sasabe, Arizona, last Tuesday. Miles Owen Brant.

In loving remembrance of my dear mother, Mrs. Julia E. Shepheard, who departed this life one year ago tbday. You, dear mother, fought the battle that we must all fight. Then you crossed over Jordan River to a home where comes no night. None knew how sad the parting, nor what the farewell cost, but God and Hi? fair Angels have gained what I have lost. I shall never cease to love you, though your form lies in the dust, and some day I hope to meet you, to this end, in God I trust. Her daughter, Maggie Black.
