THE BABNWELL PB0PLB-8KNTINBL. BARNWELL. SOUTH CAROLINA
Spectator does not wish to become
a political gossip, but he thinks he
may tell what is being said—at times.
Gossip has it that one group or
faction will have as its candidate for
Kovernor Burnett R. Maybank, of
and he will always command a good
vote. *
Men have said that Dr. Carl B.
Epps, of Sumter, will be a candidate
for governor. Nobody knows whether
he will be a candidate, not even the
Charleston, Wyndham M. Manning, of handsome doctor himself. “Doc" isn’t
Sumter, and Neville Bennett, of Marl
boro; while the other faction will
have Ben E. Adams, of Columbia and
H. C. Godfrey.
I think it absurd to imagine Gov
ernor Johnston resigning in order to
become a candidate for governor a
second time. No amount of quibbling
eould obscure the wholly obvious pur
pose to evade the Constitution. Of
course—as I’ve hinted a time or two—
the Constitution is a small potato be- n j ng> Maybank and Pearce—I sup-
a politician, but he loves public af
fairs. He is a fine surgeon and has a
big practice, but if he should decide
that the State needed him he would
offer himself. And he doesn’t care
whether he is elected v or defeated. He
is no trimmer and doesn’t know how
to side-sten.
Now look what a line-up: Adams,
Bennett, Blease, Epps, Godfrey, Man-
4
tween friends, but it would look like
a big potato patch in a race for gov-
ernor, with high feeling throughout
the State. >?Eloquence would burst
forth like the water at Moses’ touch
and lawyers would redfdicate them
selves to the sacred palladium—and
all that sort of thing, you know. Of
course some lawyers don’t know much
about the Constitution but a little
thing like that would not be allowed
to stem the rolling billows of forensic
oratory. Nay, Nay.
pose, all in all, the ablest group to be
considered for the governorship—and
there are others.
I don’t know whether Doctor
Owens will offer again. The doctor is
a hard-working mayor and' always on
the job for Columbia.
What has occasioned a lively bit of
talk is the rumor that there will be
a coalition of the Blease and John
ston forces against Neville Bennett.
I think there is small probability of
this. In the first place, Cole L.
Blease never has been a trader; he
lets others ride on his wagon, but he
does the driving. Mr. Blease is too
old a man to change his tactics. A-
gain, Ben E. Adams does not need a
coalition. Maybank, Bennett, Adams
and Blease are capable and attractive
men on the stump and will be the
atrongest team of speakers in a gov
ernor’s race in many a moon. Nor
must we overlook Tom B. Pearce and
Wyndham Manning, who have their
friends and whose candidacy coiq-
mands not only great respect but a
numerous support.
If Mr. Godfrey enters the race he
will appeal to the cotton mill vote.
I doubt whether he could carry it
against Mr. Adams. Furthermore,
There seems to be a day of reckon
ing for everybody. Not only do bank
ers and merchants want their money
but even Uncle Sam calls for his. We
have seen the government collectors
chasing poor white and colored farm
ers around tobacco warehouses and
cotton lots, a calling for what was bor
rowed from the National treasury.
Of course the government is easy
on the nations of Europe which owe
us billions, but it is diligent in going
after the one-galus farmer. But a
while back Uncle Sam lent us money
to save our homes from rapacious
money-lenders and now behold 1 ! The
Home Owners Loan Corporation has
foreclosed mortgages on 62,221 pieces
of property up to the end of Novem
ber, 1936. Well, well. So we must
pay after all.
Spectator wishes to be progressive,
but suggests that most people don’t
know anything about the proposed
Child-labor amendment to the Fed
eral Constitution. * The fact that
Piesident Roosevelt wishes this a-
mendment adopted is no reason why
this State should adopt a blind me-
Blease is far from dead, politically,' too policy of follow the leader. The

CuCUMBERS develop a deeper green color,
firmer flesh, better shape (with fewer crooked
and constricted tips, swollen middles,
and lengthy "strings") and produce larger
yields when the fertilizer contains plenty of
potash CANTALOUPES grown with
higher amounts of potash produce a better
set, which means greater yields.' The fruit

growers find that potash is the most important
element in the fertilizer mixture for produc
ing quality melons. It reduces white heart,
makes the melons sweeter and more uniform
in size, and improves the shipping quality.
You will be surprised how little it costs to
get more potash in your fertilizer. A good
mixture for vine crops is 5-7-7 (NPK) ap
plied at the rate of 1,000 pounds per acre.

President has served the country no
bly and heroically and is entitled to
our eternal admiration and gratitude,
but he is, after all, only a man, how-
beit a great one. North Carolina re
pudiates the proposed amendment and
so does the governor of Massachu
setts—a Democrat, too. Let’s look
into this a bit—calmly. Mr. Roose
velt has a supernatural responsibility
to the ages, for he not only does his
own thinking, but the thinking for
thousands of men in public life. No
sooner dees the President emit a
thought than they rush into print,
telegraph and mails declaring them
selves two hundred and one per cent
for the proposal. It may seem to j
some of them that the President is
incapable of error, his motive being
exalted, but even Mr. Roosevelt may
nod once in a while, though one would
have to be uncommonly wide awake
to notice it.
The President’s proposals relative
to the courts contain so much meat
for thought that I can’t understand
how any citizen can rush into ecstasy
and vociferous applause.
I wish I might present this as a
great proposal of transcendent im
portance and discuss it as a matter
of government instead of as a recom
mendation savoring strongly of poli
tical expediency.
\
The President is impatient with
the Supreme Court because it has
thrown out some of the New Deal
measures as unconstitutional. He
thinks the Court is obstructing pro
gress; he believes that the court is an
obstacle to plans for social progress.
I know that judges are just human
and I ascribe no superior wisdom or
merit to them; but the President—a
Democrat—is today more like Hamil
ton than Hamilton himself. That may
be all right. I merely call attention
to the strong swing of our party from
the old! faith of our fathers. Of
course our fathers are dead end we
the living must solve the problems of
the living.
Now let’s reason together. Is this
a nation of States; or is it a.compact,
homogeneous body with certain sub
divisions called States ? If the States
are just geographical expressions,
then let us face the facta. If the
Constitution is a compact by which
the States make a nation then the
jealous States still have all their
sovereign dignity and power. I ad
mit that it is hard to maintain any
such thesis. How can we talk about
the dangers of Federal encroachment
when we vie* with* one another in ask
ing the National Government even to
feed our hungry? But, assuming
that the State don’t amount to any
thing anymore, what about the Na
tion? Shall the President have a me-
too Congress? Even though the
Court were in error shall we sacrifice
the independence of the courts?
Even if the President were always
right there is the possibility that
some other President may sometimes
make mistakes. We might weigh the
importance of establishing a precedent
of putting the courts somewhat under
executive supervision.
It seems to me that the Court
should never declare an act of Con
gress unconstitutional except by un
animous vote. But if social theorists
and faddists are appointed to the
bench there will never be unanimity.
The inferior Courts should not be al
lowed to declare acts of Congress in
valid except in cases affecting per
sonal liberty. In all other cases it
might be best to certify the issues to
the Supreme Court, with the trial
judge’s opinion. ,
