United States, going wherever
they thought that they could earn
an honorable maintenance. While
many sought employment in Wash

footsteps to the great city of New

ever work their hands found to do.
Among these who are at work in

Lexingtoa Blanks Barnwell.
Lexington, Sept 24.—Lexington
high defeated Barnwell’s lighter
eleven here this afternoon 14 to
0, in an easy victory. AH point*
were scored in the second quarter
and 13 of them were made by Tay
lor, who starred for Lexington.
Schwartz scored the extra point.
The first quarter was spent
swapping the ball, neither side ac
complishing much. The second
was Lexington’s throughout. In
the third Barnwell made its only
threat getting in scoring distance
but losing the ball on a fumble.
Coach Bird ran in the second team
in the fourth and the boys showed
up well.

Aiken, Sept. 24.—Taking advan
tage of a fumble on the kickoff Ai
ken defeated Blackville, 6 to 0, in
the opening game of football which
was played here today. Verenes,
for Aiken, pushed across the win
ning tally when Aiken recovered a
fumble by Delk of Blackville on
the third play of the game.
Two passes from M. Still to Delk
netted the Blackville teams gains
of more than 30 yards. A pass
from Delk intended for Still was
intercepted by Blake of Aiken, who
then caught a pass from F. Major
for the only first down for the Ai
ken team. Delk was responsible
for four of the team’s six first
downs. The broken field running
by Major who played his first
game for Aiken, was the feature
of the game. Burckhalter and
George and DeLoach* of Aiken
and Bodiford of Blackville ma<fc
good gains and tackles. P. Ma
jor received a fractured knee on
the last quarter and will be out
several weeks. Jk

a control government for some
purpose*. It had no president and
it had no courts. It had only a
Congress which ths Sts toe didn’t
respect much. After some yesrs
there were tariffs and trade dis
putes among the States—each of
which was jealous of its authority
snd independence (sovereignty). A
conference was called to work out
better plans of co-operation. Thi*
Conference called another Confer
ence. The second Conference took
on itself—without authority and
without even the knowledge of the
States—to prepare a new agree
ment or constitution for co-opera
tion among the States. This Con
ference drew up the Constitution
of the United States “in order to
form a more perfect union.” It
provided for three departments of
the government—executive, legisla
tive and judicial. The States were
not enthusiastic; they wanted to
reserve virtually all power tothem-
selves. Af^r a great struggle the
States ratified the Constitution, the
opposition having been due to the
fear that Congress might usurp
the powers of the States. Within
4 years 10 amendments were adopt
ed to safeguard the powers of the
States and to hold Congress in
check. So greatly concerned were
the States to maintain the powers
of the states that they incorporated
a provision that the States reserv
ed to themselves or to the people
all powers not expressly granted
to Congress.
True it is that the Constitution
is a document which must respond
to the expertenc* and needs of our
people, but it can be amended.
Why, then, try to steal up on the
flank and tear it to pieces by sur
prise? It was amended ao as to
include the 18th Amendment and
then it was amended ao as to strike
out the 18th Amendment So why
not tq^th* issue to the poople in
correctmanner ? If the Courtmay
interpret the Constituttoa to please
the President it may interpret th*
Constitution to please itself. That,
I think, needs no argument. If the
Court is above th* Const i tot km
just to please th* President then
th* Conrt Is no safeguard for th*
citiaens.

What is the farmer's problem,
so far as cotton is concerned? He
must produce cotton in s world
market and sell it on a world-mar
ket price. Now is that correct?
No, I fumbled that a bit. Th*
farmer rents his land or pays his
taxes on a strictly local market,
there being no uniformity among
the counties in taxes, nor among
landlords as to rent. Then the
farmer employs “hands." There
being no governing standard of
wages, nowadays the pay for pick
ing cotton ranges from thirty five
cents a hundred to a dollar. Con
siderable spread-that. Then the
farmer buys his fertilizers at a
more or less uniform price.
Now when it comes to selling!
The price is not “fixed” in Ander
son and Orangeburg; nor, yet, even
in Charleston and Wilmington.
Liverpool dominates the cotton
market, just as London dictates the
metal prices, etc. Well, the farm
er of North Providence, in Orange
burg County, and the farmer of
Pudding Swamp, in Clarendon
County, just as truly as the produ
cer of Pea Ridge, in Union County,
must pull the bell cord over a mule
all the year for a price which
Liverpool prescribes. It is a
world affair, our Horry County
cotton selling in competition with
the cotton of Peru, Egypt, Brazil,
India, and others. If we reduce
our production they will increase
"ftheir production and grow richer
and richer, as we grow poorer, for
they can sell at eight cents and

Braille System for Ibe Blind
A Frenchman of a century ago
enabled thousands to lead success
ful lives despite blindness. Louis
Braille perfected an earlier system
of teaching the blind to read raised
letters with their fingers. Instead of
using raised letters, he used per
forations in paper. Briefly, his sys
tem is an alphabet consisting of
holes in paper arranged in various
combinations. For instance, “b” is
two vertical dots. Numbers from 1
to 10 are the first 10 letters of the
alphabet, preceded by a number
sign.
