The Wall Street Joumtl uyi (Mon day, Aug 17) cotton cirryyver ia 5,- 477,000 bales, the smallest carry-over since 1930. Last year «t this time the carry-over was estimated 1 »t 7,- 208,000 bales and the carry-over in 1932 was 9,678,000 bales. The con sumption of cotton last year exceed ed the new production by 1,731,000 bales. <1 ' On the face of it that seems to ar gue for a good price for cotton; but every one knows that in cotton, as in drought, all signs fail. We Southern ers live and talk cotton—and produce it—but we can’t do anything about it. On the very day, on the same page as carried the item about smaller carry over there appears this item: “Cot ton Market ends 1 higher to 5 lower.” That’s cotton as we know it, eh? England can teach us many lessons. She seldom goes off half-cocked and she doesn’t try to reform the world over-night. Now how is this for good', sound, horse sense? Real estate is liable to taxation (in England) only while earning an income. A vacant house pays no taxes; if occupied by the owner he is taxed according to the estimated rental value of the house. In the same spirit the railroads pay on their right-of-way, the tax being a charge on earnings. nils do not recognise county and city boundaries and the police should not be impeded by them.

We could start a new po lice force by using all field officers in the employ of the State today under the adjutant general. Some day we should have a police college whose graduates will be commissioned as State policemen and lent to counties and towns for local policing, although continuing a part of the State system and always co-operating with it. Of course the counties and towns would bear their proper share of the expense of the local service and would control the police in local work. side. Attendance of necessity will be limited to 600 persons and, the com mittee said', the reservation list will be closed the evening of September 6. Most careful preparations are being made by local county, North Carolina and federal law enforcement office: s for the protection of the public during the rally. The route of the procession which President Roosevelt will lead from the railway station to the stadi um, a distance of about 25 blocks, will be guarded by uniformed and plain clothes officers and national guards men from several Carolina cities. Rogers is in charge of the team and they are playing with plenty of “pep”. Georgetown scored three runs in the gardening class, has declared a divi dend, as the money made on peas sold to the mess haa been enough to also make a profit for the boys who went into it. The Mullins News is a new paper in South Carolina. It is edited by Mrs. W. W. Jordan and is one of the newsiest and most readable papers in the State. Tobacco growers sold a million and a half pounds of tobacco on the Mullins market the opening day of the season, according to The Mul- lina News. I can remember when that would have seemed a good poundage for the entire season. In poundage that is equal to 3,000 bales of cotton and the price received was an aver age of 25 rents a pound. Just think of what a bnetie there would be in Orangeburg if three thousand bales of cotton should come in on any one day- And think of three hundred and fifty thousand dollars being ^>aid in one day! One point to remember is that since »e hav, enjoyed pave! rosds farmers rhooae their markets It is not unusual for a tobacco grower to carry his tobacco 75 or 100 miles to the market he prefers He carrtee it in trailers tnd trucks Sometimes I have visions and ^ream dreams Here go*e Our policing srrangemen't »re na- tt rtously inadequate for a day of long paved ro*d» which enable a rnmina to imaa from county to coun ty and State to St<t* with such rapidi ty that our arrangements in cities and counties cn’t cope with him. We »e- quire, then, a highly moWle police force tu. h as the highway traffic pc- lice, but we need them as a part of a genera' police organisation, not as part of the highway department. All police should be State police, whether aervmg in towns or counties. Crimt- Well, the first primary is over. It has weeded out the candidates. Inci dentally it has weeded out some of the best men in the race. Now let us be mindful of our rights as citizens and taxpayers and concentrate on those candidates for the legislature who will reduce taxes. If you^ don’t take enough interest in your own business to work for low-tax men then don’t grumble about the taxes and don’t grouch about the rottenness of poli tics. Here’s your chance, Buddy, get busy. Roosevelt to Visit Charlotte Sept. 10 Green Pastures Rally in Tar Heel State WiO Celebrate the Return of Happier Days Mm ' m Charlotte. N. C'^ Sept.

Great excitement was caused around camp when the flag was seen to be flying at half mast. Everybody rush ed to the office or first aid room to find out what boy had died. All were informed that it was lowered in re spect for George H. Dern, secretary or war, who died during the past week. Ball Game Lost to Georgetown. The ball team lost a fast and inter esting game to Georgetown on the camp diamond Saturday, 5 to 3. The game was called at the end of the 6th on account of rain, but before that we had about as gooo % game as the team haa played this summer, with possibly one exception. Lieut. Wm. first and two in the second, and Barn-1 pay for fertiliser, seed, and pepper well scored two in the first and one in and squash that wete a loss, and the third. During the fifth and sixth innings the Barnwell boya started hit ting the visiting pitcher easily, and we would have had a fine chance to win if the game had gone on. George town won championship of the dis trict for the first half of the series, and is likely to repeat., This coming Saturday we play Edis- to Island here. Pool Tables in Camp. One of the main topics of interest at the present time, and also one of the biggest improvements in the recre ational features of the camp to be added in some time are a couple of pool tables which have been placed in the recreation hall. The tables were purchased during the week from T. K. Bolen, who had them in the back of his store, in a condition of disre pair. One of them has been put in shape for playing, and the second is being worked on, anc! will be in shape soon. The repair work on the tables is being handled by Dunn, Merchant and your humble reporter. We would prcbably have been through by now except for the unfortunate accident which befell one of our chief opera tors. Dunn had a lot of tacks in his mouth, coughed, swallowed one, and is now in the hospital. We hope he will be back soon with the tack out of “tack.” In the Woods. Work has been substantially the same for several weeks now. The largest crew of men working from this camp is under E. M. Padgett, and is building a truck trail in the Savan nah river swamp. Mr. Gamble haa a crew of men surveying for the type jnap of the county, and Mr. Murray and Mr. Edgerton are working on the dwelling and the outbuildings at the Barnwell and Dunbarton towers. Educational Notea. Jennings Guerry, secretary of the NYA Educational Aid. The National Youth Administration will again furnish part-time scholar ships for over 3,000 grammar and high school students who have reach ed' their 16th but not their 26th birth day. Materials are being mailed eligi ble schols to which a quota of scholar ships averaging $4.00 a month will be assigned. As soon as the necessary data is available, the assignment of quotas will be made to the individual schools. In the meantime, ^students of eligible families may file applications with the school principal, who in turn will furnish NYA application forms to be supplied him by the Youth Adminis tration at an early date. Students who received the NYA aid this year must be approved by the official of the school to be attended and they must perform useful work under the supervision of the school authorities. Over 1,200 part-time ^scholarships, paying an average of $16.00 a month, will be allocated to the colleges of the State. Students will apply to the college of their choice, asking to be considered for this aid, which ia in tended for needy and worthy students. Naturally, dlue to limited funds, all worthy applicants cannot be helped. A college committee composed * of faculty members considers all appli cations end selects those to be grant ed this aid. • Mrs. A. W. Free. Mrs. A. W.
