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.
