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?

you’re safe on CONCRETE
AT night you app
crete all the
jreciate con-
more be
cause its light gray surface
helps you see down the road.
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.
