The IIumbuK Danger/ “ ‘We were close to a revolution when Roosevelt took office,’ Governor Olin D. Johnston asserted,” an Asso ciated Press dispatch from Columbia reports. Where was the “revolution”? Where were the signs of it? They were not in Charleston. When the banks closed many people were alarmed andl ex cited, “panic” affected all of us—but nobody grabbed a gun. In South Carolina the writer has witnessed before 1932 two periods when the price of cotton dropped be low five cents a pound Nobody grab bed a gun. In March, 1933, when Mr. Roosevelt took office the cotton mills had been running about as usual s ince October, 1932. Thee was no problem of unem ployment in them. Nowhere in South Carolina during the first six months of 1933. three months before and three after Mr. Roosevelt took office, was unusual dis turbance or crime reported in South Carolina. After the “holiday” the banks that deserved to reopen woula 1 have reopen- ed anyway. The fact is that between 1922 and January 15, 1932, three or four times as many banks “went broke” in South Carolina as after that time. If losses and depression be excuse for “revolution” we South Carolinians should have resorted to it ten years before Mr. Roosevelt arrived to sto«p it- The naked fact is that in 1933 we had had meat of our losse s and not much remained to be lost in banks. The nearest approach to “revolu tion” or “insurrection” that we have seen in a long time in South Carolina was the textile strike. That wa s in 1934. Mr. Rooseveelt was president. Mr Roosevelt did not stop that vio lence. Our own people put a stop to it. When the South Carolinians are go d and ready for ‘revolution” no man will stop it without planty of cannon and machine guns. Danger of “revolution” in 1933! There was m re danger of humbug in South Carolina. That danger we still have with us.—News and Courier. The News and Courier is such a bitter and caustic critic of the New Deal—to such an extent that it think s i s no hope for the N the merit system—b South Carolinian wh to an efficient Repub in office for the Nev “It defends and urg by congress of hi 8 bills. “While opposed to payers’ money, for declares that if that be violated, the pur reservations is wise « “It has repeatedly » suits of the NRA hav to the textile industrj lina and has approved the working week t h wever, it does not e that “nothing go d can come out of ciple of government Nazarath”—that it is probably a waste of time to remind' our Charleston con- temp rary that in the closing days of the Hoover administration Mid-West farmers had resorted to shotguns to save their homes and farms fr m fore closure and dairy farmers were riot ing in an effort to keep their products from the market in the hope c f forc ing living prices therefor. The people generally bad 1 entirely lost confidence in the bank* and were withdrawing funds at such a rate that if Presdient Ro sevelt had not ordered a “bank holiday” there probably would have been no banks that “deserved to reopen.” True, there was no 1>1 ody revolu tion in South Carolina, but we have been told that merchants in Colum bia and other cities of the State* were fearful in th se dark days that whole sale 1 acting was “just around the cor- with industry. “Where jis anothei South Carolina that defended the presiden tion toward thi se of h are unpopular in Sou Wherein lies the gr« Danger” in South C assertions cf politiciai ial expressions of new In the words of the . boy, “We ask to know Presbyterian Chur Pn.byterian Churcl be conducted in the E Church Sunday afterr dock by the Rev.

There is no dtenying the fact that the pe pie as a whole were in the depths of despair and almost without hope in the closing clays of 1932 and anything could have happened but for the steadying influence ; f Mr. Roose velt’s election and the revival of hope in his leadership. The News and Courier itself admit* that “in 1933 we had had mod of our losses and n t much remained to be lost in banks.” A comparison of the hopeless despair cf those days with the cheerful opti mism of today cannot be ign red by the News and Courier. It may agree with General Johnson Hagood that our money is “stage money,” but even lhat i s better than no money at all. It is also true that the News and Courier ‘*writer has witnessed before 1932 two periods when the price of cotton dropped below five cents a pound,” but isn’t it equally as true that five centg cotton in 1932 was more ruinous ta the farmers than a like price in the two periods referred to, due to the fact that the costs of manufactured articles that the form ers had to huy were much higher, to gmj nothing of the increased burden of Mr. and Mrs. John nounce the birth of £ baby boy on March infant son has been n ryclear Seoville, Jr., i Advertise In The F Feeds, Se WE FEATURE SI AND GARDEN S MACHINERY.

Then, too, conditions a s a whole have Undergone a great change and the farmer g are no longer content to submit to the privations incident to five-cent cotton when a large per centage of the population enjoys the luxuries of life.

TROEGER I jA FRY girl loves pretty things to -j wear. It’s a craving found in all races and dimes. 'Fhe American tarm girl is no exception. No depression will crush her desire for ornamentation. This love of finery, when not satisfied, is pathetic. It cannot be swept aside with an amused smile or a stern man ner. It may induce a feeling of inferi ority; that her life is not worth while, or. that she has no chance in the world. Many girls leave home under such cir- lumstances; others become serious fam ily problems. (iirls and their tamilies are being saved from this sit uation through 4-H Club clothing proj ects. The girl enrolls in a group of her ow n age and inclin ations. She- chooses to carry a project or ’‘study” in sewing. She first learns how to sew In hand; later by machine. How to design and entrust such simple things as a towel or napkin. There are no 4-II C lub dues. Her local leader gives her time tree. She in turn is super vised by the county home demonstration or club agent. If the girl’s club entails any expenses it is because m embers choose to. Hut such amounts are small and the girl s through their club projects have a num ber of ways open to raise money. During the first year, the girl learns the fundamentals in sewing. In another year or two, the girl, ,if she has been industrious, is ready to make part or all of her own clothes. A girl can learn to launder her clothes to make them show to best advantage, and to remodel and obtain garments that are useful and beautiful. All this before she is out of her ’teens. Many a club girl after a few years of 4 H training becomes independent in matters of her clothes, even to paying for them. Girls become amazingly resourceful through 4-H clothing training., Laurine Varn, a South Carolina 4H er exhibited a dress at her state show which was so good it was entered in the national show in Chicago in 19JJ. A reporter described it: “Dainty as a humming bird’s plum age. but not fussy. If you saw it in a store window you would think the fab ric something new and fashionable.” Thi> dress was made out of sugar bags and it cost just 52 cents. 1 Another girl won first at the state fair, and it helped her win state honors and a free trip to the National Club Congress in Chicago where more than i,(*«> outstanding 4-H Club members of. the nation assemble annually. The girl# 1 remodeled an outfit. This was its his- tor\ : Her black skirt was once her moth er’s woolen dress, then her sister’s jum per: Her white vestee blouse was once a skirt, then a light jacket and pillow cover. Her black and whirr swagger coat once belonged to an aunt, then to her daughter, and before the club* girl got it. it was made into a Nhort full coat for her sister.
