WHAT! NO KISSING?
M. R. EMPLOYES “GET THEIRS.'
MEW INDUSTRIES.
WHAT PRICE LIVESTOCK?
FARMERS DISAGREE.
The Irish! Well all my life I've
thought of the Irish as a romantic
people, hissing and drinking—and
adl that. But I have just read a
story in The State (United Press,
Oct. 23.) telling that a girl had
been banished from Ireland “for
kissing her boy friend in public.”
And this tender exchange took
place in a churchyard, too. The
bey friend was fined $10. And all
this, mark you, was under a law
nrtiich forbids “any act offending
modesty or causing scandal or in
juring the morals of the communi
ty.”
If this had happened in Scotland
I should have thought the whole
stir was motivated by a desire to
pot the town budget “in balance;"
bat in Ireland!
We hear much about “balancing
the budget” of our national govern
ment. Many men say that because
the “budget is out of balance” all
sorts of things may happen. Well,
whst's wrong? A budget is out
of balance when the Government
spends more than it receives in
taxes. It means, then, that it is
living beyond it’s means. What
does the Government do in such
circumstances ? It raises more
money “on the side.” How? It
sells bonds or notes. What are
they? They are promises to pay
at a future time and the payment
must be made out of money receiv
ed from taxes, or from the sale of
more bonds or notes. It is bad
bosiness, as a rule.
What is the old-time, common-
sense attitude about this ? Here we
have our Government expecting a
deficit of $695,245,000,—which is
$277,000,000 more than was expect
ed—and it talks about “balancing
the budget.” If the Government
should reduce its expenditures by
$695,245,000 the budget would
“balance.” So why not do this'?
Why continue the W. P. A. with
a billion and a half dollars? If the
W. P. A. must be continued at all
reduce it by $695,245,000. Looks
simple, eh?
Fanners, here’s how its done:
The railroad employees are already
receiving as much wages as they
received in the bcom times of 1929.
Certainly the purchasing power of
tbeir wages makes them in better
condition today than in 1929 and
far better than in 1926, which the
Government has set up as a sort
of noi'mal year. If the farmers
were receiving pay on the basis of
1926 cotton would be seventeen
cents a pound. But it isn’t bring
ing seventeen cents, is it? More
nearly seven than seventeen. How
ever, the railroad unions—called
brotherhoods—decided that they
should have more pay. The rail
roads said they were not earning
enough to pay more. Then came
tbe reply “we don’t care what you
earn; we want more money.” All
right, brave boys; that’s the milk
in the cocoanut; they don’t care.
I think the railroads should have
refused the raise. Strike? Cer
tainly; but can the railroads be
forced to pay more than they earn ?
But the companies acceded to the
demand and so five hundred million
dollars was added to the expenses
of the “Roads.” Now the Inter-
atatc Commerce Commission has
allowed certain increased rates
which will yield forty-seven mil
Um dollars. So it is five hundred
nail lion against forty-seven million.
Now if the railroads are allowed
additional increases in rates to
■Mfce up the difference between
farty seven million and five hun-
drad million who will pay the bill ?
AD of ue who boy goods. Once
labor become* tbe om-prirfl-
And. mark yea, while tbe mil-
art trying to moke economies
so ae to earn expenses, we have
a bill in Congress—already passed
one House- to limit the length of
a train.
We may not be as thoroughly
socialised as Russia, but if the
Government regulates rate, length
of trains, number of men—and all
that—why not take over the roads
by law before the brotherhoods
confiscate them by wages beyond
their earnings? Railroads can
not continue indefinitely to operate
at a loss. So far as the Govern
ment has power to fix rates, why
not fix wages, guaranteeing a fair
rate on the investment?
DEATHS
The Manufacturers Record tells
us that in 1936 “New plants were
established in the South for the
productions of thirty-eight differ
ent products.” The big question
for us is this. How many of those
new plants came to South Caro
lina?
Last week a friend sent me a
clipping from a paper showing that
a big industry had decided to build
new branch factories in Virginia
and Florida. Jumped right over
us, didn’t it? Why? We men of
South Carolina must ask ourselves
the question and then find the ans
wer. Once we have the answer,
we shall have to find a remedy.
Let’s go out and get the business;
we need it.
The highly esteemed Anderson
Independent comments editorially
on the sale by the county of nine
cows and one mule fer $233. If
the mule is able to move under his
own power he should be worth at
least $40, leaving the average value
per cow about twenty-one dollars
But the mule seems to have ap
pealed to Andersen farmers only
to the amount of $26. But Editor
Hall must consider the possible
mule-power which said mule can
generate. If able to walk unaided
he is clearly worth $26. Now, what
the mule may be worth if made in
to coats and clcaks for the ladies
my ignorance surpasses all bounds.
I have attended a number of
meetings of farmers recently and
have found the greatest lack of
agreement among them on the
subject of farm-relief. And there
is a reason; there are powerful
reasons. Unless one should have
a clear understanding of world
conditions he cannot really think
intelligently on the subject. Our
leaders in Washington—I mean the
officials of the Department ofj
Agriculture—arc in position to
have the facts. Let us get the
facts and then discuss plans. This
is no time for small politics.

HOW TO KEEP OUR WELL
WATER SAFE AND PURE
W. R. Carroll, of the Barnwell
County Health Department, has re
quested publication of the follow
ing article in the hope that it may
tend to promote better health con
ditions:
“Pure water is cne of nature’s
greatest gifts to man. It is a
source of life and health. Like
wise polluted water is a great men
ace to life and health. Ordinarily
the only water likely to produce
disease in man is water which has
already been polluted by man. Man
himself is the greatest offender.
He it is that furnishes most of the
pollution that makes his wells and
springs dangerous.
“The most common mode of pol
lution of wells is the conveyance
of tiny particles of germ laden
bowel discharge from one or many
human beings or other animals to
the water in the well or spring.
This pollution is spread in many
ways, but open wells with buckets
and chains or ropes is one of the
most common ways.
“Human hands are nearly always
more or less dirty and contamina
ted, and such hands touch the well
bucket, germs are rinsed off and
transferred to the bucket and
to tbe water. Another
common moans of polluting wells
is by carrying filth and fecal mat
ter on our shoos and on the feet of
chickens, dogs and other domestic
animals to or near the well plat
form or top. These tiny particles
may drop off or be rinsed off in
the waste water around a well top
and readily find their way down
into the well.
“Surface wash is also dangerous,
particularly if there is an open
back privy nearby or other soil pol
lution, present. In such cases
dangerous pollution may be w'asRed
into or near a well or so scattered
that it readily finds its way into
the well. If the well is properly
constructed this cannot happen.
“Once it is understood that pol
lution usually reaches wells
through the open tops, from human
hands touching buckets and chains
and through surface wash and
waste the remedy is self evident.
Simply make the well water tight
with a concrete top or cover, use a
pump; drain the surface wash
away from the well top and remove
or abolish potent sources of pol
lution such as open back privies.
“No open back privies should
ever be used, largely because the
fecal matter is so readily scattered
by wind, surface wash, domestic
animals, and chickens, some of it
sooner or later finds its way into
practically all open top wells.
“All open back privies should be
replaced with pit privies or the
house connected, either to a sewer
system or septic tank. No privy
or sewerage disposal plant should
be located nearer than 50 feet
from well, and always on ground
lower than the well top with the
drainage away from the well.
“The sanitary officer of the
county health department will be
glad to assist any one who is in
terested in securing a safe water
supply.”
Harvest Day.
The members of the Reedy
Branch Baptist Church will observe
today (Thursday as “Harvest Day,”
and the membership as a whole
will join in making this the great
est Harvest Day of them all. Ser
vices will begin at 11 a. m. Sev
eral visitors are expected for the
occasion.
