Columbia, Aug. 11.—Collector Cooper has given out the startling statement that out of 1200 gins in South Carolina that must furnish bonds to operate by obtaining bale tags, only 150 have qualified to date.

For while the men of power today are not quite so ruthless and pleasure-loving as those of Amos’ age, they are, nevertheless, the slaves of egoistic impulses. Robber barons we may call them who pat tern their conduct after the no torious model made infamous by the feudal lords of mediaeval Eu rope. One of the major factors in the present devastating depression is and repairing ip the fight for re covery was well summarized re cently by Bernard L. Johnson,,edi tor of the American Builder, when He said:< i ■ >' .■>./. \ . “The tremendous decline in ex penditures for home building from an average of $3,806,000,000 a year to Mss than $200,000/)00 in 1931 and 1932 was a major cause of de- preszion and > unemployment.

' Every type of business and work er is benefited when a wave of building and modernizing sweeps ttrough a community.

These corporations have been con ducted with such reckless individ ualism that we are now in the grip of suicidal social anarchy. There are still some 11,000,000 adult workers in the ranks of the unemployed. About 40 per cent of the farms in the^ountry are mort gaged, these mortgages composing the major item in a colossal farm debt of eleven and a half billions. Over a million persons without homes are wandering about the country like waifs. And yet there are many who squander unearned . fortunes to luxurious ease and even gilded vice. In the face of appalling need there are profiteers still able to pile up wealth for showy display. To be sure, many men of large holdings are conscientiously eager to dis pose of their property for the largest public good.

The Jews had light, and gladness, and joy, and honour. . . . And many of the people of the land became Jews; for the fear of the Jews came upon them. But these verses which make so brave a showing for the Jews, are not an historic document; only a pious hope. The Jews, in reading them, buckled their belts a little tighter and took courage. In taking leave of the Old Testa ment we must stop to pay reverent tribute to two great truths which give eternal significance to these ancient books. We have in the record of the di vision and downfall of the Jewish nation the first instance in human history where the god did not go with the land. In earlier days each tribe and nation had its own par ticular deity or set of deities, and when a man transferred from one country to another he, of course, changed gods.
