Hom* Print and Local Adrertiainff.
One of our newspaper exchanges,
whose publisher prides himself on the
fact that hig is an M all home print”
weekly, last week carried about 15
columns of advertising and some 33
columns of news and other articles.
Hie publisher in question has a right
to be proud of his paper, because it
ig unquestioanbly one of the better
weeklies in the State.
The thing, however, that impressed
os was the small amount of local ad
vertising in his columns. Counting
legal notices there were, all told,
about six columns of strictly local
advertisements and about nine col
umns from out-of-county advertisers.
There we have a publisher who thinks
go well of his home town and county
that he exerts every effort to give
his subscribers a readable, well-print
ed newspaper—yet his efforts are ap
preciated so little by his local busi
ness people that he would find the
geiag very hard indeed but for the
patronage of advertisers in adjoining

Perspiration? Nay, Nay—sweat!
Nature rejoice* in many contradic
tions. The cotton farmer revels when
the sun comes down with blistering
force and when the night seems to
cover you like a woolen blanket.
When it is too hot to sleep, the cot
ton is singing a song in the fields.
So, now, which is better—to be a
farmer enjoying invigorating, COOL
NIGHTS, with fertiliser bills and
taxes looking down on you; or be a
farmer DRENCHED WITH SWEAT,
even in m the night-time, with pros
pects for a good yield? So you see
how wonderful nature is: You can
have cool weather with an empty barn
and meat house or sultry weather and
plenty of rations. How about it?
Nature intended to keep the farmer
busy. Just about when he la com
pletely exhausted and hardly able to
“hit a lick,” along comes some rain.

Miss Mamie Cohen.
The many friends of Miss Mamie
Cohen, 62, of Barnwell, will learn
with regret of her death, which oc
curred Sunday morning at the Co
lumbia hospital. She was born in
New York City February 12, 1875,
the daughter of Jacob and Rosa
Haynes Cohen, and made her home in
this city for many years.
Miss Cohen is survived by two
sisters, Mr*. Isadore Brown and Miss
Carrie Cohen, of Blarkvilk; three
Louis Cohen, of Barnwell;

in Uses $15,973,521. Quite • sum of
money, but not big enough to causa
concern in this day of big figures.
But see how it works out. That
company not only paid 14 cents in
taxes for each dollar taken in, but it
paid in taxes 43 per cent, of the whole
amount paid in wages. Now, that
looks big doesn’t it? Now, where
does a stockholder come in? We
hear so much about taxes and wages,
what does the real owner, the stock
holder get out of all this? So far as
I can see, he must get a lot of rich
experience, though at last accounts
none of the grocery stores seemed
willing to accept that in payment of
the weekly bill for food. But cheer
up, stockholders; the worst is yet to
come. Although the revenues of
the company increased 11 per cent,
over the year 1935, the taxes in
creased 13 per cent

Aa mayor of Charleston ho la worker.
In fact, Maybank is a business man
of the highest typo who can work aa
effectivriy in politics for his constitu
ent* as he worked for his own private
Mufaes*. Aa an executive and
leader his record in Charleston aa
mayor is worth studying, for it 1* a
record of useful achievement While
building, improving, getting new busi
ness—and all that—Maybank reduced
the mlHage, paid off the floating debt
and reduced the bonded Indebtedness.
Aa a speaker Mr. Maybank has tre
mendous appeal because he believes
what he says and says what he be
lieves.
Adams has twice swept Richland
County. He is bold in attacking what
he thinks is wrong or unfair or inad
visable and he makes a tremendous
appeal for what he thinks is right
In the House Mr. Adams is respected
as a debater of unusual preparedness
and power.
Mr. Adams is not a narrow man in
his sympathies. He has spoken for
the working man and has worked con
stantly for him, but he is not a dema
gogue; he does not try to destroy
something for the sake of making a
show. He has courage and brains and
a serious purpose to serve the State
with fairness to all.
Neither Maybank nor Adams is the
common type of politician; both are
forthright to the point of bluntness
although both are cultured and cour
teous gentlemen.

Toeodhy night, June 1st, *ti
hold a good attendance, with 439
known to bo preoenL After the count
ing Hopped, it was estimated that
around 40 more came. Foliar Park
and Barnwell County are being adver
tised through .these dances probably
more than any other activity ever
given here.
These dances were originated
through the recreational division of
the WPA. The first dance was given
in February, and every two weeks
since then Fuller Park has been
thrown open to the public Tor a night
of wholsesome fun. Up to date, nine
dances have been given, with an at
tendance of 2,916 actually known to
be present At the first dance 150
people were registered as compared
to 438 at the last dance.
As for order, it is almost perfect.
Charlie Brown, Sr., floor manager, and
“Chief” Ross have ushered out of the
hall anyone who seemed to be out of
place. It is now understood that no
disorderliness will be put up with.
The music has been one of the
drawing cards all the while. Mr.
Hubbard and Mr. Willis, two noted
fiddlers, along with Mr. Willis’ sister
at the piano, furnished music for
several of the dances. On two occas
ions negroes played. For the last
several dances, however, a group of
three or four men from Aiken have
supplied exceptionally good msic. Mr.
Peacock manages the string band.
The corps of recreational workers
in the county include Thos. D. Creigh
ton, Sr., who is manager of these
dances; Mrs. Mabel Gantt, Mrs. Thel
ma Keel, Mias Vera Givens, Mrs.
Edna Hall, Mrs. Elian Odom, Mias
