THE BARNWELL PEOPLE-SENTINEL, BARNWELL. SOUTH CAROLINA THURSDAY, JANUARY 28, ItST. >. - 1 *, PAGE FOUR. Th«Barnwll People-Sentiae JOHN W. HOLMES 1841—1911, B. P. DAVIES, Editor and Proprifr. Entered at the post office at Barnwell, S. C., aa eecond-claae matter. SUBSCRIPTION RATES: One Year —— 81.50 Six Months AO Three Months AO (Strictly In Adrance.) THURSDAY, JANUARY 28, 1937. Come to think of it, “Queenie” is not a very Democratic name for the mascot of the Party—it smacks too much of royalty. A “Hoover-cart" drawn by an ox was seen on the streets here Wednes day afternoon—a rather unusual sight on the day of President Roose velt’s second inauguration. Succeeding a gentleman like Capt. W. E. Gonzales as president of the South Carolina Press Association is pretty much in the same category as being the son of a famous father— there’s too much to try to live up to— and the record of Col. Theodore Roose velt, the younger, is too fresh in our mind for comfort. It was typical of President Frank* lin D. Roosevelt to have the plate- glass enclosure removed from his re viewing stand, saying that if the thousand^ gathered for his second inauguration could withstand the in clement weather he could “take it” also. But the American nation needs him too much in the next four years to have him taking needless chances of endangering his health . The Fanners Are Warned. Cully Cobb, Southern AAA admin istrator, has warned the farmers of the South that six-cent cotton will in evitably result from uncontrolled pro duction this year—and if farm activi ty in Barnwell County is a true index to conditions throughout the cotton belt, then we are headted straight for the ruinous prices that marked 1932. Mr. Cobb fixes 13 million bales as the maximum crop that can be market ed this year at fair prices—anything above that figure spells six-cent cot ton, he predicts. A bumper crop would have been produced in 1936 but for partial fail ures in the Southwest, where the bulk of the cotton is grown. For the most part, the farmers of this section made good crops, for which they averaged about 12 ft cents a pound. And, forgetting the disaster that overtook them during the depres sion years, they are apparently pre paring to “plant the fence corners” again this year! The 1937 cotton program, according to the AAA director, is designed to reimburse farmers up to 36 per cent, of the base for establishing crops other than cotton on cotton land. Un der this plan, cotton farmers would receive “somewhere between 125 mil lion and 150 million dollars,” a figure commensurate to the 8123,000,000 poured into the South under the 1936 soil conservation and crop diversifica tion program. We had hoped that the cottontots had learned their lesson through bit ter experience. If they have forgot ten, and now elect to disregard Mr. Cobb’s warning, they will have no one to blame but themsleves if they again pull down the economic structure upon themselves and their friends. In that event, government should turn a deaf ear to their appeals for help. ‘The Price He Paid—Suicide.” Under the above caption The York- •ville Enquirer discusses at some length the recent suicide of Capt. John W. Hamel, 75-year old editor of The Kershaw Era, and ascribes his death to discouragement over the lack of patronage support accorded him by the business people of his community, ■which was aggravated by the loss of hia printing plant by fire some time ago. The Enquirer’s editorial is re produced elsewhere in this issue of The People-Seneinel. Read it. And the facts presented about Edi tor Hamel’s case are equally true of many other followers of the Fourth Estate in South Carolina. A glance through the columns of their news papers shows that they are slowly but surely being starved to financial death. How some of them keep alive at all is one of the little mysteries of life. Yet, their editors and publish ers, like Editor Hamel, go on, week after week and month after month, rendering a service equaling that of the churches and the schools. Scarce ly ever do their efforts appear to nerit the voiced appreciation of the readers, but just let an editor make 4JHI editorial misstep, or publish an er roneous report, and see how quickly he is told of his heinous offense! Practically every weekly newspaper in the State conducts a job printing plant in connection, and whether or not Hie business people of the com munity “believe in advertising”—that is, that the costs justify the results— it does seem that the merchants and others (professed believers in the trade-at-home principle) would at least place their orders for job print ing locally, but that such is not the case is evidenced by the fact that many weekly paper publisers receive from their local merchants monthly state ments that were printed by some out-of-the-county concern. And yet the editor must help support the churches, the schools and other worth while civic organizations, and is being called upon, in and out of season, to contribute to various local enterprises. Perhaps the weekly newspaper edi tors and publishers are laying up treasures where thieves cannot break in and steal. It is certain that few of them are reaping in abundance the material rewards of this mundane sphere. Healing Springs Honor Roll.
