COLLEGE CANTEEN ERECTED
Individual Mail Boxes Are Installed
An attractive canteen is being
erected on the campus of Newberry
College, it was learned by a reporter
of the Sun in an interview with Presi
dent Kinard. The primary purpose
of this building is to house individual
mail boxes for the boarding students.
Each student will have his own box
at a nominal rate and this plan will
insure the proper and safe handling
of all student mail.
Refreshments and light lunches will
be served, particularly for the bene
fit of the day students who have to
spend the day on the campus.
The project has been worked out so
as to be self-supporting and at the
same time of convenience to the
students. The plan as operated at
Newberry will be that by which
many other colleges maintain similar
campus canteens.
COTTON GINNED INCREASES
Census report shows that 17,824
bales of cotton were ginned in New
berry county from the crop of 1937
prior to December 1st as compared
with 14,920 bales ginned to Decem
ber 1st crop of 1936.
COLLEGE HOLIDAYS
The Christmas holidays for New-
bery colllege students and faculty
begin upon the completion of the re
gularly scheduled first term exami
nations Friday. Classes will be re

THE
Spectator
A Stale police system is again be
ing urged. As usual the suggestion
appears to contemplate just an
other creation of jobs; just another
demand on the taxpayers.
Let us look into this. Is it neces
sary to have a new staff, a new body
of men, another group of people on
the public pay roll? Or may we not
accomplish what is necessary with
what we have?
A State police force i needed be
cause local policing agencies are in
capable of coping with some crimi
nals. Criminals in swift cars
quickly get beyond the limits of
counties in which they commit crimes.
Since it is the automobile—and soon
the airplane and motorboat—that
moves too fast for the local city and
county authorities, we might make a
very substantial beginning without
spending any additional money. The
plan, obviously, should be to confer a
State Commission on all municipial &
county policing authorities so that
they might pursue offenders unim
peded by local jurisdictional limita
tions. It follows logically that the
active heart of a State system must
be the Highway Patrol, a trained,
efficient and well equipped force.
Such agencies as the sea-going force
of the fi'heries Commission should be
incorporated, for of course their func
tion is policing. Then we already
have an air force, for which we have
m» earthly reason or excuse today. So,
by emmissioning local officials, in
corporating the air force and the
State navy, the Hifhway Patrol
might become an effective police
force.
Now the trouble with this is that
it doesn’t make room for any friend
or kindred.
There would be some small addi
tional emense. When county or mu
nicipal officers passed beyond their
countv or municipal boundaries they
should have their additional expenses
covered by the state. Likewise there

Treasurer Newberry County.
might be some fee to be paid for the
privilege of using the Columbia and
other broadcasting stations.
The general administrative direc
tion might be taken over from the
Highway Department or continued
there, as preferred. I merely make
the point that there is already an ef
ficient organization from top to
bottom—which can be quickly ex
panded without expense of manage
ment.
Now for the expense that may be
unaviodable: Let all fees and fines
collected for and by the State Patrol
pass to the police management and
let all "ees and fines collected by any
one else acting for the state outside
of his own proper territory be allcat-
ed to tie state. By that I mean that
the police of Greenville, within the
city of Greenville, pay the fines col
lected to the city; so would the county
officers within Hie counties; but when
a Greenville county deputy arrests a
fugitive in another county that would
accrue to the State and the expenses
of the officer would be paid by the
State.
For a long time'I have been in
clined to think the talk about com
munists and communism—and all
the other isms—was a sort of bogey
or nightmare. I really felt a little
superior about all this and patted
myself on the chest and inwardly
exclaimed “I am not nervous and ex
citable and imaginative; there is
nothing to fear.” But I think there
is somthing to fear; and we are in
danger in our country and the danger
is reaching us here in old Carolina,
though most of us are native sons
and can trace our ancestry to many
generations of Carolinians.
This dange: is coming to us from
and through our'national government.
I am not seeing spooks; I wish I
were. I am awake at last. In some
manner all sorts of theorists became
popular in Washington. We can un
derstand that, at least in part, be
cause we all begged for help ad cried
aloud for a Moses to lead us out of
the Depression. Since nqjther the
bankers nor the brokers, the manu
facturers nor the merchants, the
famers, lawyers, doctors knew what
to do, and even our great enginees
President lost the prosperity “just
around the comer” and couldn’t lo
cate it again, there was need for some
prescription of new remedies. So in
trooped the theorists, speculative^
philosophers, economists at variance
with one another, and all sorts of
people. Some of these were true
men, ready to serve the nation;
others were faddists and communists
and others “ists", zealous to rebuild
the nation on different foundations.
And so began the great work of con
tusion, or contradiction. All sorts of
half-baked scemes were undertaken.
While the government undertook to
reclaim great tracts of land and re
store them it gave a bonus to take
vast tracts out of cultivation, while
it boasted of trying to raise the prices
of farm products to the level of 1926
(seventeen cents for cotton) it set
out vigorously to raise everything
which the farmer has to buy and the
farmer is still wondering about it.
The Government calls the Congress
in special sesssion to pass a law which
must inevitably increase the prices
paid by the farmer. And when Con
gress was called and when Congress
met the prices of farm products had
THE SUN
slumped greatly under the prices of
1936. Did the Government hold up?
No; it is making a major drive to
pass the Wage and Hour bill. This
Wage and Hour bill may deceive la
bor today, but it promises to be a
boomerang that will cause labor many
a pain. Lgbor leadership is woefully
inept if it allows the Government to
fix wages and time. But if this bill
should become a law and result badly
for our country labor must submit to
have wages cut and hours mcreased
by law. I repeat, it is poor jolicy for
labor to let Congress control it.
Three great groups are supposed to
have special claims on the Govern
ment of today, Labor, Farmers, and
Negroes. The CIO certainly has
claimed everywhere that the Presi
dent is with it. Handbills have been
distributed widely proclaiming that.
And the attitude or the Government
was so strongly in favor of the CIO
that the secretary of Labor tele
phoned to the Governor or Ohio to
have subpoenas issued for Girdler
and others—heads of big mills—and
to held them until they signed con
tracts with the CIO. The Secretary
said to the Governor, by the way of
explaining, “We must not let our la
bor friends down.” Well, do you get
the full import of that? This is—
or was—the United States, the land
of the free—and all that. Verily,
after reading of the violence used by
the CIO, I fear our flag is now the
Star-bangled Spannfelr, spanner be-
ng what the English call a monkey
wrench.
Well, then, where do the farmers
“come in”'? Frankly I don’t know
yet. I have great confidence in Sec-
retarys Wallace’s readiness to serve
the farmer, and “Cotton Ed” and
‘Hamp Fulmer” are still functioning
n the agricultural committees of
the Senate and House.
And lastly comes the colored man.
Our colored people of the South have
found it a wise policy to steer clear
of troubles between white men. The
Negro of the South is doing well, his
rise from slavery has been a marvel;
he has a fair chance usually.
I have some colored tenants who
are strictly honorable men. I trust
them and they trust me . We have
no written contracts, but go on
year by year in mutual confidence.
Many Colored men have established
good credit; they can buy on time as
readily as anyone—and on open ac
count,too. That is the road to a
Colored Man’s success in life in the
South.
Now the Democratic party having
bargained with the two million North
ern negroes for their votes, is pushing
through an anti-lynching bill to
please them.
I do not defend lynching; a great
body of opinion has been developed
in the South against it; but I am not
discusssing lynching; I am discussing
the right of; any Federal authority to
meddle with the police affairs of the
State. If tne Federal Government
may do that, it may enter a State and
do anything. It is so serious an af
front to the dignity and sovereinty
of the States that the General Ass
embly itself should re-assert the au
thority of its autonomy.
These things are being done in
Washington in the name of and by
the votes of our Democratic party,
for we control the Government ab
solutely. Many of our people, even
many in high official position, have

At last the Christmas rush has be
gun to commence to start. In spite
of constant warnings and pleas year
in and year out to “do your Christ
mas shopping early,” the majority of
us wait until the last minute. It just
wouldn’t be Christmas to lots of us
unless we could get in the rush and
mob at the last minute. So if you

buying for yourself or others, a real

When Santa paused at R. M. Lom-
inack’s hardware I think his bag
must have been spilled because here
are gifts galore. For children are
oicycles, tricycles, wagons, air rifles.
For the gentlemen of the family
Santa left guns, hunting coats, boots,
rods and reels, and other fishing
tackle. And not forgetting the lad
ies, Santa suggested that Lominacks
carry such stand-by gifts as electric
irons, toasters, waffle irons, hot
plates, ranges, and even G. E. radios.
Might I suggest you look over the
Lominack stock before completing
your list?
Some prefer the ice and snow of

that is that all the employees had

What good will result from this?
Can they demand more pay or shorter
