‘‘The HumbuK Danger.”
“ ‘We were close to a revolution
when Roosevelt took office,’ Governor
taxation ?
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 populatii n enjoys the
luxuries of life. It is this changed
condition and the problems it has
created that the News and Courier re
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 antii 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 e tton dropped be
low five cents a pound Nobody grab
bed a gun.
In March, 1933, when Mr. Roosevelt
tork office the cotton mills had been
running about as usual s inoe October,
1932. Thee was no problem of unem
ployment in them.
Nowhere in S:,uth 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 would have reopen
ed anyway.
The fact is that between 1922 and
January 15, 1932, three or four times
as many banks “went br~ke” in South
Carolina as after that time.
If losses and depression be excuse
for “revolution” we South Carolinians
-St*
should have resorted to it ten years
before Mr. Roosevelt arrived to stop it.
The naked fact is that in 1933 we
had had most 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 3 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 readly 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
that “nothing go J can come out of
Nazarath"—that it is probably a waste
of time to remind our Charleston con-
temp'rai y 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 * f forc
ing living prices therefor.
The people generally had 1 entirely
lost confidence in the hank 3 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 bl ody revolu
tion in South Carolina, but we have
been told that merchants in Colum
bia and other cities of the State were
fearfud in th se dark days that whole
sale looting was “just around the cor
ner” where prosperity was supposed
to be.
There is no d'enying the fact that
the pe pie ns a whole were in the
depths of despair and almost without
hope in the closing days 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

A comparison of the hopeless despair
cf those days with the cheerful opti

the News and Courier. It may agree
wdth General Johnson Hagood that our
money is “stage money," but even
that i s better than no money at all.
It is also true that the News and

cotton dropped below five cents a

that five cent s cdtfbn in 1932 was
more ruinous to the farmers than a

to, due to the fact that the c:sts of

I selected a day type soil and turned
it early in February. 1 believe in winter
plowing because the soil has a chance
to pulverize before planting time, thus
insuring a better stand; and the water
holding capacity of the soil is increased.
Early breaking of soil also aids in the
control of insects and diseases.

most cotton possible per acre at the low

cultivation methods; and then the most
important factor was keeping neat, ac

that I did produce certified seed was
another very important factor in my
winning.
