PAGE POUR THE SUE FRIDAY, JUNE 24, 1938 Gftft &mt 1218 College Street Newberry, S. C. O. F. ARMFIELD Editor and Publisher One Year $1.00 Published Every Friday Entered as second-class matter December 6, 1937, at the post office at Newberry, South Carolina, under the Act of March 3, 1879. SHORT CUT TO EASE What the yearly income of the av erage South Carolina farmer is, this paper does not know. But our guess is that it is not more than $300. An other guess is that there are cotton farmers in South Carolina who do not get their hands on $200 a year. Still another guess is that we have negro farm hands who do not handle $60 a year. Ther e isn’t much actual mo ney in farming in South Carolina, so poverty and the host of ills that stem from it are widespread. However, we have in our midst at least two classes of people who fare much better. They are the reliefers and the COC boys. According to Senator Harry F. Byrd of Virginia relief costs the national government $1 ,000 a head per year and General Robt. Fechner says the upkeep of the OCC boys is $1,200 each a year, Of course, the reliefers and the OCC-ers get only a small part of this money. The • rest goes for ex penses and the fellows who dish out. So it appears that the short cut to the “abundant life” in South Car olina is to enlist in the CCC or join the WPA. it SO MOTE IT BE! The smashing failure of th e new dealers to defeat Senator Gillette in the Iowa primary is a sign that old fashioned American domocracy is still active among the people. The result of that primary proves again that our people will not be dictated to by the White House or such sig nificant gentlemen as Hen- Hopkins, the Crown Prince Jim, or Benny Co hen. The campaign which these now de feated heroes waged against the Io wa senator was based, it is said, on hi* refusal to vote for the un- American court packing scheme of Dr. Roosevelt. It was a part of their far flung battle scheme to “purge” the party of Democrats who refuse to say “Yes, Frankie” every time the order comes down the line to do so. The sound thrashing they got is a thorough vindication of the right of a representative of the PEOPLE to vote as he thinks best! HIGH WAGES—MORE RELIEF The crowd that is running the works in Washington insists that what « “feudal” South needs to make it happy and prosperous is a floor under wages and a ceiling over hours; that our chief trouble is star vation wages and unendurably long hours. Is this crowd sincere? Let their own acts answer the question. Here are some as given by Senator Bailey of North Carolina: For the fiscal year 1937, the fed eral gevemment spent on the WPA in eleven Southern states where 28,- 761,000 people live $210,000,000 while- it spent in the lone state of Pennsyl vania, with some 9,000,000 population and the blessings of high wages $214,- 000,000. Why is three times as much money per capita required to maintain the destitute in a state of high wages as is allotted to those in a section whose wage scale is said to be a re proach to the nation! It might be because it was thought necessary to wean Pennsylvania away from its al legiance to the Republican party. If Mr. Hopkins hadn’t said cate gorically that there was no politics in relief expenditures, we would have some dark suspicions. SPECTATOR PROFANES US Spectator may have considered the mouthings of this writer beneath his notice, but in order to keep his tory straight, we must take excep tion to this part of his letter in this week’s issue: “The News and Courier is gratified to observe the inde pendence of the other South Car olina papers. It is notable. For a long time the torch was borne by the News and Courier and H. H. Woodward of Conway, with Dr. Dreher of St. Matthews in terposing a pungent comment now and then; the rest of us C eil pushers looked for the lable aims to engage our thoughts and saw nothing but the sun behind the clouds.” Neither the News and Courier, Woodward, nor Dr. Dreher have been more independent or outspoken, and we didn’t start yesterday, Mr. Spec tator! ITlTNAMES BAKER; 14,000 MAJORITY Indianapolis, June 17.—The board of electors of the International Typo graphical union announced tonight Claude M. Baker of San Francisco had defeated Charles P. Howard of Chicago, incumbent, for international president of th e union by almost 14,- 000 votes. The final count from the 807 locals was: Baker 37,229, Howard, 23,344. Howard is secretary of John L. Lewis’ Committee for Industrial or ganization while Baker has retained a close connection with the Ar-cri- can Federation of Labor, with which the ITU is affiliated. Their divergent union affiliations constituted one of the main issues in the election May 26. Howard has been president since 1926. Spectator Th e News and Courier is gratified to learn the independence of the other South Carolina papers. It is notable. For a long time th e torch was borne by the News and Courier and H. H. Woodward of Conway, with Dr. Dreher of St. Matthews in terposing a pungent comment now and then; the rest of us pencil push ers looked for the laudable aims to engage our thoughts and saw nothing but sun behind the clouds. The State was so straight and stalwart that it walked sway backed. What’s the matter now? How is it that our politicians tumble over one another in swearing allegiance to any and everything, while our newspapers speak out critically? It is because newspapers have a tradition of inde pendence; they may be wrong, but they do not deliberately muzzle them selves for political reasons; nor will they swallow just anything because the label is attractive. We who read the South Carolina newspapers observe from week to week vigorous discussions of public questions. A politician watches to see how the wind is blowing; but our editors start a little breeze of their own, without consulting any body. Did you observe that the politi cians thought our recent Democratic State Convention would not touch Rule 32? And the politicians would not have touched it—or come near it. But the newspapers, from Charleston to the mountains called on the people to proclaim their in dependence of Tammany politicians and Northern meddlers. Result? The Convention voted overwhelming ly to amend Rule 32. The politicians were amazed; they were flabbergast ed. They had not reckoned on the force and influence of an untrammel ed press. Are the newspapers engaged in a campaign today? Yes, decidedly so. From Charleston to the mountains again the press is assailing the 100 per cent me-too-ers. South Carolina will not elect any man to office who proclaims his unfitness for public office by promising to be guided by some one else. What sort of men should we elect to the Legislature? There is no more important question for our con sideration just now. One point I’m sure of: if you have a man who really serves the State it would be advisable to re-elect him. A new man, however capable in some aff airs, is as green as grass for a year or two in the Legislature. If, how ever, you have a man who votes wrong, let him stay at home. South Carolina is spending forty- odd million dollars a year. It is, then, a pretty large business. Few men, very, very few, ever learn much about th e business of the State; most of our legislators vote for or against a measure because of some man, they don’t know the real “innerds” of the affair. A mere handful of men know what is going on. So if your man is a true-blue, a clear and level-head ed man you will gain by sending hem back. I remark as indicating a good legislator: a. An economist; b. A man who surveys the whole State and tries to serve all the State; c. A man without any isms or pet projects or fanciful schemes; d. A man who knows that we must earn our bread by the sweat of our brow anafwho will not for get that when Sailed on to vote for appropriations; e. A man who is not representing any group or class; f. A man who will do what is right, regardless of his political future. W e need men who will try to serve the State even though a powerful special group of men threaten them with defeat. We need men— that’s all— MEN!! THE STATE NEEDS MEN! out that I made as much hay using two bushels of peas to the acre as I previously had made with three bushels. One of my farm partners poured out peas at the rate of sev en bushels to the acre in one small place, I think to raise the level of the land; but we didn’t receive a pro portionate benefit. From the deeply ingrained habit of a teacher let me take two more cases. You’ve heard it said that a tree with fifty peaches will produce larger fruit if it is thin ned out. So let’s knock off twenty- five peaches. Then why not knock off twenty-four more leaving one. Will that one remaining peach be as large as the fifty? Must be a limit somewhere, eh? Well, well! That principle applies to money and labor, too. I know the weather is hot—real cotton-sizzler—and all that; but let me propound this: If you feed five meals at one time to one man, will he do as much work as five men? Or, conversely, if you take one meal and feed it to five will they—all together —do only as much as one man? Af ter all is said and done it would be more enjoyable to catch red breasts in Little Hell in Allendale County than to worry with these figures. I wandered a long way from the 40-hour week, didn’t I? Well, that’s the way it is in hunting and fishing: You go a long "spell” before getting a bird or a “bite.” If you want to build our little State we must remember that States compete with one another for fac tories and citizens, just as individual merchants on Main street vie for business. We as Carolinians must bring in more business, must get new industries and must make this an inviting place for new citizens. We want people with money; we al ready have a heavy consuming popu lation Let us stop our habit of free spending and ill-advised restrictions on industry so that we may have a chance to make our State the play ground of the nation, a place in which people would like to establish homes and invest their money. If we continue as we are now going, Green ville, Spartanburg, Anderson, Green wood—and all our piedmont region— will lose their mills and become like deserted villages. Mr. William A. Moorehead, Man ager of one of the largest and most modem cotton mills in South Caro lina, has prepared a report in his character as chairman of the Power Committee of the Cotton Mills. Af ter comparing the rates charged by four power companies—all out of this State except Duke—says that the Duke Power Co. has reduced its rate twenty per cent since 1929, but its taxes in South Carolina ‘have increas ed in the same period from $818,000 to $1,767,000 and now pays in taxes 22 per cent of its gross income. Now if we produce power under tax-ex empt conditions—with Government money—who will pay the taxes? ‘A 100 PER CENTER* (From The Columbia State) One of Columbia’s most interesting and energetic citizens is, according to his own statement, a 100 per center. “Yes sir!” he declared in a discussion overheard by the State, “I am 100 per cent for Roosevelt.” His friend surprised at the outburst asked the 100 per center when he changed his ideas about liquor. “I have not changed them,” asserted the 100 per center. “I believe in pro hibition, and in the enforcement of it. On that point I do not agree with Roosevelt at all. He said the saloon would not be allowed to come back, but it is back, and I’m against him there.” This same 100 per center is also a defender of the Confederate faith, an ardent believer in the sanctity of the South’s long lost cause. His friend asked if the 100 per center thought the president should have encouraged th e negro voters of the North, and won them, as he Has done. “No,” said the 10C per center. Next, the friend asked on what ba sis relief money should have been and should be approtioned among the states ? “On the basis of need.” “Do you think it has been apportion ed on that basis?” "No,” again replied the 100 per cen ter. It has not, and the president was wrong when he did not so appor tion it.” WEST END, MOLLOHON AND OAKLAND BOYS COMPETE Nathan Kinard pitched the West End Juniors to a 9 to 4 victory over Oakland Thursday a. m.

R E V I E W of NEW BOOKS PAUL B. CLARK, PH. D. 1736 Woodbum Ave. Covington, Ky. NEWBERRY BOYS AT OLD INDIAN This office receives many inquiries relative to the gentlemen who have announced themselves as candidates for the Senate or the House. We be lieve that our State can develop best through the encouragement of in dustries to come here. We do not think it necessary to give concessions but we think we should create an at mosphere favorable to th e develop ment of our commerce. We think our major problem is to create work for our people who want to work and a market for the things we make. All of us are probably in agreement about that; but when it comes to carrying the idea into effect we are very much at variance. We can’t become any richer by further dividing what we already have. If we have a million dollars in a com munity in the hands of a half million people the community will not be richer by putting the same million dollars into the hands of a million people. The result is the same—one million dollars. Obviously the com munity canont become still richer by taking the same million dollars and giving it to two million people. Of course I know that a million dollars in the hands of a thousand men is worth more than a million in the hands of one man. There is a limit, however, as to the progressive development of that; it is known to Economists as the law of diminishing returns. Before some one makes a protest, let us prov e it: If 100 lbs. of 10-4-4 per acre will make an av erage of 200 lbs. of lint and 200 lbs. will make 400 lbs. and 400 lbs will make 800 lbs., is it true that 800 lbs. will make 1600 lbs. of lint? Not a chance, buddy, not a chance. If it worked out like that, we poor cotton farmers would put all our fertilizer on one acre and guide our feet through th e coton jungle with a com pass as Editor Hucks of Monck’s Comer has to do when he travels the great swamps of Santee studying the Santee Canal. Miss Katherine Lamoreux, who To. know how far he can add fer-1 teaches in Orangeburg, is home for tilizer with a profit—that’s quite a the summer with her father, Dr. F. problem for the farmer. I once found O. Lamoreux and sister Lillian. Henry Burton Wells, Bill Denning, Joe Wei born, Forrest Carpenter, Bill Dufford and Carl Longshore, six New berry boys, are now attending camp at Camp Old Indian, official scout camp for Blue Ridge boys. The six local lads are attending a period set aside for boys between the ages of nine and twelve and are listed on the camp roster along with some 84 boys from all over the coun cil. Young Wells is serving as leader for the boys. They have been placed in Cabin 9 along with four other boys, who are also under Wells’ di rection. Welcomed into camp with an im pressive Indian ceremonial campfire, the Newberry contingent entered upon an active program including swim ming, hiking, handicraft, campfires, athletics instruction, and other out door activities. The six youngsters trekked to the top of Old Indian, a nearby! mountain for which the camp is named, on Fri day, accompanied by around seventy other campers. The complete roll of Cabin 9, in which the Newberry boys were plac-’ ed, includes Henry Burton Wells, Bill Denning, Joe Welborn, Forrest Carpenter Bill Dufford, and Carl Longshore from Newberry; Billy Lewis and Thomas Scott from Whit mire; Jerome Trotter and Eugene Welborn from Pelzer. SOUTHERN POETS. By Ed Win field Parks. American Book Com pany. SOUTHERN POETS, in AMERI CAN WRITERS SERIES, Harry Hayden Clark, General Editor, will interest any true sc uthemer and any fond reader of good literature. In this most attractive and arresting lit tle volume Dr. Parks deals with real southern poets and their message in verse. He means by “southern” those men and women who were bom in the South, or those who lived there for years and who came to consider them selves as native to it. «, The book has a rather brilliant and enlightening Introduction of about 130 pages, dealing with how Captain John Smith “brought with him an English attitude which distrusted all things foreign to his own race and tradition.” Other subjects are: The implanting of the idea of aristocracy, established religion, slavery, the Eng lish educational system, and the in fluence of three philosophers—the physiocratic agrarianism of Jeffer son, the imperialism of Calhoun, and the frontier. While the influence of Locke ws giving the American mind its political idea of democracy, the later political doctrine of the South, together with its economic doctrine, came largely from Quesnay and the French Physiocrats. And the South remains a batlefield between indus trialism and agrariarism. The theory and practice of Poetry in the South may be said to be traditional; it has presented ideas as well as emotions; it has retained a warmth and grace which is characterictic of the South; and, above all, it has remained south ern. There are 18 pages of selected bib liography on Anthologies, general lit erature, authors, and negro songs and spirituals . There are 319 pages of selections; selections including THE STAR SPANGLED BANNER of Francis Scott Key and poems from a host of authors—Wilde, Dickson, Pinkney, Simms, Chivers, Poe, Cooke, Timrod, Hayne, Ryan, Tabb, Cawein, etc. The appendix is very valuable; it gives theories of poetry by Souther ners as found in original source ma terials; W. G. SIMMS: Letter to T. H. Chivers; T. H Chivers: Letter to W. G. Simms, etc. This charming little volume is still enriched by notes by the author. It deserves a place on the shelf of those interested in the better things of life. QUALITATIVE ANALYSIS. By W. B. Meldrum and E. R. Flesdorf. The American Book Company. William Buell Meldrum, Professor of Chemistry, Haverford College, and Earl William Flosdorf, Assistant Professor of Bacteriology, University of Pennsylvania, present this college text of qualitative analysis of inor ganic materials which is servicable in a triple way: (1) it provides an ade quate system for the separating and identifying of the inorganic consti tuents of complex materials; (2) it gives adequate training in the tech nique which is quite essential for meeting the exact requirements of quantitative procedures to b e met in later courses; and (3) it lays a solid foundation for the study of the phy sical chemistry of solutions. Funda mental principles ar e dealt with in Part I—Scope and methods of Quali tative Analysis; Symbols and Abbre viations The Ionic Theory; and Quantitative Applications; Ionic Some of The Efforts And Achievements of B. B. Hare During His Term of Office as a Member of Congress 1. Author of the anti-dumping or Produce Agency Act, which makes it unlawful for a Commission Mer chant to make a false report to the shipper as to the condition, sale, or disposition of any perishable farm crop, the penalty being a fine of not less than $300 or more than $3,000, or imprisonment for one year, or both, within the discretion of the Court. 2. .Took active part in passing Act enlarging consular offices for the purpose of locating and expanding foreign markets for American Prod ucts. 3. Succeeded in having Federal Trade Commission make investigation for Department of Justice which re sulted in 36 fertilizer manufacturing companies pleading guilty to enter ing into price agreements in viola tion of law. 4.

Introduced and insisted upon passage of bill making provision for free rural delivery service by sub stitute carriers on all holidays except Sundays. 6. Introduced and urged passage of bill requiring industrial plants to give 30 days notice to both govern ment and employees before closing such plants in order that government may have time to investigate to see whether such closing would be viol ation of law. 7. Responsible for bill which re sulted in Act making it unlawful to misbrand or adulterate seed for planting purposes and then offer to sell such seeds for such purposes. 8. Took part in preparing and pro moting the original farm seed loan act providing emergency loans to farmers to be used in purchasing seed, feed, and fertilizers. 9.

Secured authorization and ap propriation of $12,500 to be used in establishing a station to conduct ex periments for the eradication of wire worms in coastal counties of State. 13. Introduced and urged passage of bill insuring bank deposits, which was on e of the first bills enacted under the present; administration. 14. Introduced bill and secured fav orable report thereon from Judiciary Committee providing for refund of tax collected on cotton by the Govern ment immediately following the Civil War. 15. Introduced bill providing for two-year moratorium on farm mort gages, particularly those held by Fed eral Land Banks and Joint Stock Land Banks, which furnished the ba sis for the Frazier-Lemke Act, sub sequently passed by the present ad ministration and found to be consti tutional by the U. S. Supreme Court. 16. Was the author of bill provid ing for the erection of U. S. Post office buildings to accommodate sec ond and third class post offices in all the states. He would probably say that this was the first WPA bill introduced in congress. 17. He drafted and engineered through congress over the president’s veto the bill predding for the inde pendence of th e Philippine Islands and the withdrawal of American sov ereignty therefrom at the end of eight years after its passage. It was here that Mr. Hare, as chairman of the Insular Affairs Committee of the House, had an opportunity to demonstrate his ability and influence in Congress. 18. Introduced bill and secured authorization for appropriation of $190,000 for erection of federal court house at Aiken, S. C. 19. He made one of the most deter mined and aggressive fights against 23. He succeeded in having the federal government provide markers to graves of Confederate soldiers, this being one of the few times, if not th e first time, in history where the federal government gave recog nition of the soldiers who followed Le e and Jackson. 24. He took a decided stand in an effort to have the Adjusted Service certificates of World War veterans paid before he retired from congress, and he endeavored to secure compen sation for widows and children of de ceased vetrans. 26. It should be noted that four of th e bills referred to herein were before congress when Mr. Hare re tired and were among the first to be recognized and enacted into law un der the New Deal administration. First was the bill providing for in suring bank deposits; second was one making provision for a morator ium on farm mortgages, which be came the basis of the Frazier-Lemke Act; third was the bill providing for loans direct to farmers through the Intermediate Credit Banks; and fourth was the bill providing for the erection of post office buildings in all towns and villages with second and third class offices, which would have been the beginning of the Public Works Administration, and should he be returned to congress we predict that he will renew his efforts to have these buildings included in the public works program. the Smoot-Hawley tariff bill, the passage of which, according to the belief of many, was primarily re sponsible for our present depression. 20. His bill providing for loans di rect to farmers through the Inter mediate Credit Banks is said to be the beginning of the present law which permits these banks to advance money for production loans to farm ers through credit corporations. 21. He introduced and secured fav orable report on bill by Banking and Currency Committee requiring Joint Stock Land Banks to accept theii* own 'bonds in satisfaction of mort gages when presented by the- mort gagor himself, this bill being on the calendar when he retired from con gress. 22. Was the author of two farm re lief bills under a Republican admin istration that attracted attention and favorable consideration from many of the farm leaders from dif ferent sections of the country.

The miraculous story of the Grand Duchess Anastasia, on e of the four daughters of former Emperor Nich olas II of Russia. The Author open ly states the fact that he writes “in response to countless enquiries on the subject addressed to me in the course of the last ten years.” Part of the Publisher’s Note says: We also shar ed the opinion of Allen W. Porter field who wrote in The New Outlook at the time that ‘American people would be interested in not only help ing to prove her identity, but to do something for her.’” The author has one wish: The opinion of each of us constitutes a part of what is known as public opinion and the force of pub lic opinion is great and many a wrong has been righted by that force alone. He points out that the reader can help immensely by admitting without fear the fact that this Mrs. Tschaikovsky is not just another Imposter but the unfortunate Grand Duchess Anasta sia who mysterious!;*, miraculously, but really, escaped death at the time of the Ekaterinburg massacre; that she survived her wounds and bruises; that she made the long trek to less dangerous territory. The author knew Anastasia as a child and he uses his former information .to en hance the story he has now to tell— about the one who stood before him,’ whom he 'believed for nine years to be dead. The story is held on a high plane—The Meeting, Seeon Castle, A Dilemma, Conclusive Evidence Further Difficulties, Arrival in the United States, In Hiding from Re porters, With Miss Jennings, Oyster Bay, In the Nick of Time, Leaving Xenia, The Signed Statement, Secrets of Russian Royalty. Here are thrills without fiction, a story easier to be lieve than disbelieve. And the world needs to know the whole drama; and to know this one would see into the machinations of those who know who Anastasia is and yet turn a deaf ear to her and to the author. Her e is a keen book in the political aspects of social psychology as it affects not only the downfall of Russia and the plight of Anastasia but as it shows how the feminine element in the whole story of Russia’s downfall and the same element, bloodkin, now at work against recognizing her, worked and works. It should matter to the whole world who she is, who anybody is. The book deserves a wide reading, a reading that deserves time for re flection.
