No doubt the farming lass has b-een frightfully discrim natel against in taxation. There omes a time iwhen everything the armer produces fails to make him any rollt and there is not hinng with which o pay taxes; yet, a great proportion if the profit producing class esen.es axes entirely, but the farmilet never scapes his. 'T'lhe question that the aimers have .got to aWk thmesIelves s can and will the old line politician, rhether in tihe general assembly or .s governor, Imake any at tempt to hange these con(litions? I think not. lOnce, the imperative need of clean ng out the old liiners and putting in , farmer for governor and a general ssenibly of farmers and business men vho would give all the people a just nd fair deal without strife and dis .raceful contention as has so often haracterized political affairs in South ,arolina 'before. Wh'llo can measure the responsibility if the old, staid farmer as from day o (lay lie goes over the hills and hrough the valleys communing with iature's God?
