THURSDAY, MARCH 4TH, 1937. Cause for Rejoicing*. J We rejoice that in one State at least the courts and law enforcement officers refuse to sanction the substi- tion of the right to trespass for that of property rights, as witness the ac tion last week of the Los Angeles County (Calif.) grand jury in induc ing “sit-down” strikers on charge^ of illegal seizure of buildings of the Douglas Aircraft Corporation. Among those named were two organizers for the committee for industrial'organiza tion—supporter of a number of strikes across the nation. Not only were the strikers indicted, but “three hundred peace officers, equipped with side arms and tear gas bombs, moved on the big Douglas air craft plant at Santa Monica, Calif., to arrest 400 men involved) in the 'sit down’ seige of the company and gov ernment property there.” In view of what has happened in similar strikes elsewhere, there is cause for rejoicing in this particular instance. At any moment one of the many me chanical defects may at long last give up the ghost and play havoc with the five passengers in the brand new auto which happened to be passing at that moment; or with the three or four little children who are playing on thf sidewal^. Several v States do have these laws as to brakes, lights am other parts which are more or less vital to the driver who wishes to have his car under control at all times. Why not Barnwell and South-Carolina ? What Price Cotton? One day last week The State had a sane, temperate and well considered editorial anent the loss of the South’s monopoly on cotton to foreign nations as the resit of the pegging of the price of the fleecy staple at around 12 to 13 cents a pound. The editorial was in reply to a query from a Bates burg farmer as to the advisability of moving to South America, against which Editor Gonzales cautioned. The State reviewed its opposition to government-controlled prices dur ing the past several years and pointed to reductions in the high tariff as a remedy, realizing that otherwise cot ton under 10c a pound is ruinous to the Southern farmers. The State, how ever, well knows that there will be ho reduction in the tariff wall, what with industrial labbr’s continual de mands for shorter hours and higher wages, which most certainly add to the cost of the finished products. American industrial labor is not ex pected to compete with poorly paid labor in foreign countries. There is the so-called American “standard of living” to maintain—the “more abun dant life.” What, then, is to become of the American cotton farmer? He is losing his world markets because cot ton is selling for around 13 cents a pound, which, undey'bqll weevil condi tions, is not commensurate with the prices he is forced to pay for what he must buy. The People-Sentinel still thinks that, in view of economic conditions at home and abroad, the debenture plan is the only sensible solution of the problem. We fail to see wherein it would work a hardship upon the American people to pay such a tax to help the cotton farmer when they are now paying a high tar- iL tax to help the industrial worker. The only difference is that the federal government would collect and disburse the former, while the manufacturers will continue to collect and disburse the latter. What thinks The State? Many “Rambling Wrecks. The effort of the Florence police department to make for safety by in vestigating the brakes on suspected automobiles unfit for service and con stituting a menace to other drivers are being operated in Florence. A Statewide dr:ve on such automobiles would result in reducing the number of accidents on the highways.—Flor ence Morning News. And that, mine friends, is some thing which the town of Barnwell and the State as a whole would be very wise in following. With approximately 3(i,000 deaths in these United States last year direct ly caused by automobiles, we go on and on without taking simple pre cautionary methods to cut down on our annual fattlity toll. Why should n’t brakes be tested regularly by some law officer? Why shouldn’t law's be made and ENFORCED as to the mechanical fitness of the cars we drive as well as to the speed which we drive them? To the average motorist or pedes trian a “rambling wreck” is a taget for jokes by those more fortunate, but in reality it is a potential killer. And while we are on the subject of autos and fast driving, isn’t there a speed law as to trucks within the city limits of our city? Sometimes when we, watch the (Drivers of some of the trucks and delivery vehicles- dashing through town we can’t be lieve that there is. Or do the drivers imagine that they ai£ driving Are trucks and answering a three alarm fire call? NOTICE OF DISCHARGE.

Light is spread without "glossy” reflection. Pavement edges are clearly defined. Concrete meets the ideal for a r avement as defined by the nternational Illumination Congress of 1928. This is im portant to you because sur veys show that the rate of death per accident is 43 per cent higher during darkness. Concrete, smooth but non- skid, insures a quifk, certain stop even in the rain. Blow outs, spring breakage, steer ing gear failures, accidents of til kinds are less apt to hap pen on concrete. Yet concrete is not only safe —it is more comfortable—it saves in driving costs—it costs less for upkeep—and cost of construction is less than that of any other pavement of equal load-tarrying capacity.
