THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 1937 The “sit down” strike originated in Europe. Why not raise the tariff wall against such foreign Importations? Many men who pay their cooks $1.50 a week are loudest in their pro testations against the corporations paying “starvation wages.” Prognostications on the probable length of the present session of the general assembly range all the way from 40 dhys to 40 weeks . “1,760,000 Trees Go to Tennessee.” —Headline. But from the news dis patches from that commonwealth, it would seen that there is a sufficient number of block-heads to supply raw material for the lumber industry for quite some time to come. ' The American people take kindly to revolutionary ideas only when threat ened by revolution. Judging by the storm of protest which has greeted President Roosevelt’s proposed revo lutionary re-vamping of the U. S. Supreme Court, we take it that we are in no immediate danger of a revo lution. Bitter criticism has been leveled at Tennessee for allowing the marriage of a nine-year old girl to a 22-year old man. It is all true and deserved— but we have seen our own marriage laws permit the marriage of adult persona whose mentality was less than that of a nine-year old child. And. come to think of it, do our mar riage laws fix an age limit for the contracting parties? Congratulations! The People-Sentinel wishes to con gratulate the people of Barnwell Coun ty upon their generosity in respond ing to the appeal of the Red Cross for funds for the flood sufferers in the Middle West. This county’s quota was originally plsced at $80, which was subscribed five times over in the first two or three days. The quota was then placed .at $400—five times the original amount—and even this sum was over-subscribed about 75 per cent. To be exact, the amount report ed up to noon Monday was $685.46. The success of the drive in this goonty was due largely to the unself ish efforts of a small band of devoted men and women, and we hasten to commend them for their efforts in be half of the flood-stricken citizens of the Ohio and Mississippi valleys. EDUCATION ASSOCIATION TO MEET IN BLACKVILLE FEB. 18 The Barnwell County Education As sociation will meet at the Blackville High School on Thursday, Feb. 18th, at 4:00 p. m. An interesting program has been arranged. Speakers for the general meeting are J. P. Coates, sec retary of the South Carolina Educa tion Association, and Dr. Josiah Morse, of the University of South Carolina. In the departmental meetings, State Supervisor John G. Kelly will address the high school group. The elemen tary group will hear Miss Martha Thomas, director of elementary educa tion. Patrons of the schools are cordially invited to attend these meetings and hear the addresses. Card of Thanks. I wish to take this opportunity of thanking the people of the county, the various organizations and last but not least the county newspapers for their splendid work in behalf of the flood sufferers. I feel that it was largely through piTolicity by our loyal county papers that the excellent results were obtained. JENNIE P. GREENE, m Acting Chairman Barnwell County Red Cross. Hon. Neville Bennett. Those who carefully listened as Governor Olin Johnston read his an nual message to the General Assem bly noted one thing of great interest. He takes unto himself much credit for the splendid financial condition of the State- To the carefully inform- od it is apparent that the Governor km no claim to meh honor. He has done little or nothing to bring about this splendid financial situation. Hon Neville Bennett deserves the thanks of a grate (pi people for this great work more than any other man. Hon. Neville Bennett has been chairman of the ways and means com mittee for the past seven years. He took over where Hon. “Bob” McCas- lin left off. The period that McCaslan seved in this capacity saw the annual appropriation bill soar to its greatest height. Yet it was this same McCas lan that Governor Johnston and his followers desired to replace as chair man of the committee to displace Neville Bennett. The people of the State should thank their Maker that this desire was not carried out, and that the Marlboro solon will again lead this powerful house committee. During the past seven years Neville Bennett, with the aid and assistance of veteran legislators as Hon. J. M. Moorer, of Walterboro, Hon. W. G. Smith, of Williston, Hon. Calhoun Thomas, of Beaufort, Hon. Sol Blatt, of Barnwell, Hon. F. M. Roddy, of Winnsboro, Hon. J. B. Britton, of Sumter, and some others, fought for economy and accomplished the same. 11 The appropriation bill was radically reduced, and under Bennett’s leader ship legislation was enacted that quickly put the State on a cash basis, and for the past two years large sur pluses have been the results. This year the surplus is expected to be nearly one and one-half million (Hol lars. We quote the following com ment from a recent issue of The News and Courier aneut Mr. Bennett: In the opinion of The Greenville Ob server,, “A consensus of the views of the members of the South Carolina legislature would reveal that Neville Bennett, of Marbloro, is regarded as one of its strongest members.” Why “one of”? Why qualify? Governor Olin Johnston was not a member of the general assembly while Neville Bennett and his friends were bringing forward measures that saved the State. Governor Johnston has been in office only two years. These measures that have brought about the splendid conditions of which he so joyously speaks became effec- itve before his term of office began. In our opinion Neville Bennett de serves the credit, if any one single man does, for this re-birth financially of the State's official condition.—The Beaufort Gazette.
