COMMENTS ON MEN AND NEWS
By SPECTATOR.
I ■
The Speakership race has been set
tled by the election of Mr. Solomon
Blatt. Now, gentlemen, let’s get to
gether for South Carolina. In this
day of intelligence and in the face of
grave problems our State should not
be “pro” or “anti” Johnston; nor
should the House of Representatives
be “pro” or “anti” Blatt. Let us be
South Carolinians, eager to promote
the vital interests of the State.
South Carolina has brains enough
to solve her problems; and in the gen
eral assembly are men desirous of
serving the State wisely. Let’s use
our brains more and our prejudices
less.
Mr. Blatt has begun well by putting
himself above pettiness. He is a
capable man and will prove one of
the ablest Speakers we have had. I
expect real, definite leadership from
Mr. Blatt and congratulate, not only
Barnwell County, but our State on
having such excellent presiding offi
cers as Lieut.-Governor Harley Sn&

USE EXTRA POTASH
FOR EXTRA YIELDS
AND QUALITY
For EACH asparagus bud to produce a
fancy spear, it must have an abundant
supply of reserve food material. To pro
vide this, successful growers have found
that an application of 2,000 pounds
gf a 5-7-5 fertilizer per acre is neces
sary when the plants are set. Then they
make additional applications of muriate
of potash amounting to 200 to 300
pounds per acre to replenish the supply
of this plant food. Growers who follow
this practice each year are making
good yields of high quality asparagus.
Consult your county agent
or experiment station. Write
us for further information.

Speaker Blatt I don’t know now
whether to move to Barnwell or Spar
tanburg in order to achieve political
honors; but I must go and go soon to
one or the other.
Two large new enterprises have re
cently come to South Carolina, the
paper mills at Charleston and George
town, with the prosepct of a third
mill soon. These mills will spend
hundreds of thousands of dollars a
year for wages and the money will
go immediately into the channels of
retail business. Within thirty
it will have reached the wholesaler,
the jobber, and the manufacturer.
Within 12 months the churches, the
insurance agencies—and others—will
have received 1 some benefits from the
wages paid. At the same time the
money paid for timber will have cir
culated through all the channels of
business. And as trade expands the
pfiblic service receives a contribution
in taxes. Not only will the big mills
pay taxes but through a hundred ave
nues will come revenue to the State.
Gasoline, soft drinks (and possibly
some not so soft) cigarettes, movie
tickets, etc., etc., will yield a steady
stream of income to the State. Even
if the mill itself paid no tax it would
make a rich indirect contribution to
us.
This State must move to recovery
through the channels of industrializa
tion. Not only the State, but the na
tions of the world, are engaged in the
sharpest competition for new indus
trial establishments. All sorts if in
ducements are offered so we should
enter the field. Whatever persuasion
we can make should be made. To boil
it down, we need new money and a lot
of it in South Carolina. We are
spending—and sending out of the
State—for automobiles and other
things—more than we receive for all
our crops. We need industries that
will produce for the national and
world markets in order to restore the
balance and yield us a margin of prof
it.
South Carolna had more manufac
turing establishments in 1919 than
in 1936; it received 1 vastly more for
its crops in 1919 than in 1936. I need
not take such a banner year as 1919;
even some of the lean years will show
that. When our cotton crop falls off
seven hundred thousand bales in one
year we can calculate our loss as at
least sixty million dollars a year
While our income fails our pubilc
expenditures increase and our taxes
have enormously increased. In 1919
the cotton crop brought about three
hundred million dollais to the farm
ers, as compared with $53,000,000 for
the 1936 crop. In 1919 the State gov
ernment cost about $4,000,000; where
as in 1936 it cost about $20,000,00,
though camouflaged 1 to appear $8,305,-
715.32. Since the days of 1919 we
have passed through three terrific ex
periences; in 1920 began the Defla
tion which brought into a whirlpool
of disaster farmers, merchants, manu
facturers, bankers and depositors; in
1921 began the boll weevil, which ate
what little the Deflation left. Strug
gling from 1920 to 1929 our people
saw their farms foreclosed, their stores
bankiupt, their banks insolvent.
Then just as a few of the hardiest
began to get a fresh grip a suffocat
ing blanket of Depression was thrown
over the whole world. But in all these
years of tribulation our public under
takings and expenditures increased
year by year.
intelligent championship oY wise and
prudent measures. I do not make
that statement at random. Anyone
who tries to withstand the avalanche
of special pleaders for public appro
priations will find most of our business
men so absorbed at their own desks
that they fail to act in their own in
terest.
1 am interested in this organization
because it is evident that those men
in the legislature who oppose the in
roads of highly emotional advocates
all sorts of new things need an or
ganization to arouse the taxpayers to
support their efforts. I have no quar
rel with the gentlement of the legis
lature; they see so many good 1 people
clamoring for all sorts of things that
they yield to the importunities of the
advocates. Now who pleads against
all those well-meaning people? That’s
why I say that we taxpayers frequent
ly lose the war without even a battle
In fact, the sponsors of new things
get a judgment by default because
the taxpayer doesn’t even appear.
You will find many Senators and
Representatives who have not bowed
to Baal; but sometimes I feel like
crying aloud as Elijah did that I, only,
am left.

Qneen
A survey should be made to deter
mine what governmental agencies we
need and what instructions we can
foster. The habit of yielding to every
humanitarian impulse has resulted in
creations of many kinds. Perhaps a
rule should be adopted that the State
should adequately support certain in
stitutions that directly and immediate
ly touch every family and withdraw
from undertakings, however good,
which it cannot adequately support.
Certain it is we must stop imitating
Massachusetts, New Jersey and New

Power to day is in the hands of
those who have no stake in the land;
the man with a stake would do well
to think about this and* take measures
for his own protection.

Sulu, deep liver-end-
white pointer bitch,
owned by A. Q. C.
Sage, New York. Han-
dltd by Clyde Mottoo.
H ERE is an action picture
of the famous Sulu, the
pointer who swept every
thing before her at National
Field Trials of 1936 at Grand
Junction, Tenn. Sulu, the queen
of them all!
Thousands of bird dogs range
the fields... but there’s only one
Sulu. To this glorious creature
Nature gave her greatest gift, a
perfect balance of the vital ele
ments; speed, scent, endurance,
instinct and intelligence. An
other pointer may be just as good
to look at, but Sulu has that vital
spark—everything in perfect bal
ance. So Sulu is the queen; the
other is just a dog.
Just as Nature favored Sulu,
she favored Natural Chilean Ni
trate of Soda. Just as Sulu has
many elements in Nature’s bal
ance, so has this nitrogen fer
tilizer. Nature aged and blended
into Natural Chilean, more than
thirty "impurities”, or vital ele
ments that your crops need to
grow and to produce their best.
These vital elements are in
addition to Natural Chilean’s
quick-acting nitrogen. That’s
why Natural Chilean is so good
for your land and your crops.
Our entire governmental structure
needs reconstruction. It would 1 be ted
ious to listen to that in detail, but I
suggest that the policing policy alone
will show how arc&ic our set up is.
Crime today is using brains and it
employs the machinery of the day.
Fast cars, airplanes, motor boats, me-
chineguns, gas bombs, these are the
tools of organized crime. We oppose
to that county and city peace officers
who cannot leave their precincts -
and a few traffic policemen who are
severely limited in authority. Obvi
ously we must prepare to cope w’ith
criminals. The usual method would
be to add just another department
and support it with new or additional
taxes, whereas a thorough-going re
grouping of our governmental services
would provide for an efficient system
without additional expenditure. As
a first step I should suggest the in
clusion of all field workers of the
State and all county and city law-en
forcement officials 4n a State Police
System, with a radio broadcasting
system or an arrangement with Co
lumbia’s broadcasting system, which
would be better. This might be done
by giving to all a State Commission
without interfering with their purely
local duties. It would serve as a first
step and would obliterate city and
county limits in the pursuit of crimi
nals.
Our men of affairs have been too
supine in their acquiscence. While
the legislature is in session they us
ually make light of H or denounce it;
but they seldom unite their force in

The New Year Will Bring
NEW NEWS
JUST AS THE YEAR 1936 was replete with thrills and new happenings—so will 1937 bring forth something
never before heard of. Revolutionary changes are taking place and never a day passes but that we read
and learn something new.
CRYSTAL GAZERS again predict war between Russia and Japan during 1937. And if such happens there
will be plenty news during 1937 as the wise men claim both China and Russia will take the field against
Japan.
ON THE OTHER HAND, recent developments in China indicate secret preparations for war afoot and if
the cover was lifted w’e would find France, England, Russia and prob»bIy the United States giving finan
cial aid to China.
THE PRESIDENT OF CUBA w T as impeached to pave the way for a military dictator and the people are told
it is a blessing towards freedom. The people will find it is the beginning of the end for freedom.
• AN UNOFFICIAL WAR is going on in Spain, with Italy and Germany on one side and Russia on the other.
A new w r rinkle, w’hy mar the country side of the home land when you can take the battle to your neigh
bors back yard?
NORWAY DEPORTS LEON TROTSKY, the revolutionist, to Mexico and now he nestles among the hills
across the border in Mexico. Government officials claim Trotsky started the conflict raging in Spain. If
true, then we can look for things to pop in Mexico any time during 1937.
FRANCE, prepared more so than any other European country for war, continues to be bulldozed by Ger
many because of internal strife.
PEOPLE OF THE BRITISH EMPIRE were startled when they learned of King Edward’s love for Mrs.
Wally Simpson—stunned when he gave up the throne—and next comes the marriage. A blue ribbon story
in 1936—what will it be in 1937?
WITH ROOSEVELT AS OUR LEADER for the next four years, the depression well spent, congress and
.State legislature in session, it looks as though 1937 will be a big year. But to watch the trend of events
and keep abreast of times, it’s important that you subscribe to a newspaper that you can depend on to
print the news as it happens. By that w-e mean—unbiased—uncolored. THE STATE is that kind of a
newspaper. For -local news, we suggest you read YOUR HOME TOWN NEWSPAPER.
