C. PAID PRIZES FOR CEREALS Columbia, Nov. 6. — Prizes for growing cereals and funds to quaran tine the state against contagious diseases had a berth in the 1908 state appropriation act, a survey showed today. State officers’ salaries and the total appropriations, on the other hand, were far below the stipulations in the current measure. The act of three decades ago car ried $8,000 for the health depart ment to use in “carrying out the provisions of an act quarantining the state against contagions and infec tious disease.” Foresaw King Cotton Losing It allowed $600 “to be expended as state prizes for the growing of cereals per acre,” evidencing' possi bly then a desire to weaken the hold of king cotton by legislation. That money measure, totaling over a million dollars, was approximately a tenth of the size of the new act now financing the state's machinery. Salaries, like appropriations for many institutions, have jumped tre mendously. The present private secretary of the goverhor, for ex ample. receives more than the gover nor of 1908. The chief executive received $3,000 annually 30 years back and his sec retary $1,500. The salary now is $7,500, and $3,432 for the secretary. The state hospital superintendent received $3,000 in 1908. The amount this year is $7,600—on a par now, as then, with the .-•'vemor’s. Most Salaries Doubled The secretary of state, comptroller general* treasurer,'superintendent of education, adjutant general, and com missioner of agriculture, and attor ney general were paid $1,900 a year. Their salaries range today from $3,- 600 to $5,000. Salaries of judges were approximately half the present- day figures. Explanation of the $12,562,413 to tal of the current money act lies not entirely in increases, such as from $170,000 for the hospital to $1,175,- 620. Newcomers to the state’s family Account for a considerable amount of the higher “cost of living?”—the two-year-old welfare department, for example, with an appropriation of $1,824,715. More and more inmates at the hospital and students at the insti tutions of higher learning have gradually produced greater demands on the tstate pocketibook, although current funds for educational insti tutions are below the 1928 level. Other Appropriations Up The hospital’s 1908 fund of $170,- 000 jumped to $616,496 in 1918 and to 949,721 in 1928. The university was provided $43,744 in 1908, 136,300 in 1918, $439,827 in 1928 and $325,000 this year. Winthrop college received $64,535 in 1908, $196,326 in 1918, $449,362 in 1928 and $265,000 this year. The present appropriation of $4,- 506,391 for education towers high above the 1908 money measure’s to tal.

PHILIPS NOTES The St. Philips and St. Paul’s 'hurches and Bachman Chapel will hold joint Thanksgiving services next Thusday morning at 8 o’clock at the St. Philips church conducted by the Rev. Emmet Roof. A large crowd is expected to attend. Some of the farmers of this sec tion have pretty stands of grrain. We’re having some wonderful weath er now. However, Jack Frost will drop in at any time. Mr. and Mrs. David Kibler of Texas have returned to their home after visiting relatives. Mr. Kibler stated that crops were very short in Texas this year. He remarked that some planters would get only five bales of cotton to 40 acres, and that the com crop was also short. THE HOPKINS POLITICS The News and Courier: “We will spend and spend, and tax and tax, and elect and elect.” Those words were used last sum mer in Saratoga by Harry Hopkins, director of the WPA, “according to people usually reliable,” Arthur Krock, Washington correspondent of the New York Times, asserts in The Times. If in the United States there be a newspaper correspondent “usual ly reliable,” who is careful of what he says, It is Arthur Krock. Mr. Krock continues: “This atti tude helps to explain why he (Hop kins) brought to Hyde Park glowing and confident reports that Governor Murphy, Mr. Ely, and others popular with the relief establishment were certain of election.” So this man Hopkins, the national almoner, said that the United States should spend and spend, that the people should be taxed and taxed, and with the money thereby raised they could be bought. Therefore, in that faith in money, he told the presi dent at Hyde Park that Murphy and Ely and ^thers would be elected. Taat the words of Hopkins meant, or they were meaningless. In the history of the United States was ever a more shameful or more sinister utterance—if Arthur Krock has not libelled him—made by an American in office? Arthur Krock, mind, does not write an accusation of that kind unless he knows where of he speaks. He does not risk his great reputation for accuracy and veracity by repeating idle rumors. Belknap in President Grant’s Cabi net, Fall and Daugherty in Harding’s, and others, were corruptionists, but never was one of them so dangerous as this Hopkins. Never did a mere corruptionist lining his own purse de clare that the American electorate could and should be bought by taxes wrung from the Americans by tax ation. That is what Hopkins said, unless Arthur Krock has greatly misrepre sented him. Unless Mr. Hopkins is prepared to prove that what Mr. Krock wrote is a lie, President Roosevelt should kick him out of government and that with out ceremony. If Hopkins used the words tliat Mr. Krock attributes to him his as sociation with the president disgraces that grentleman and he owes it to himself to thrust Hopkins out of his sight. Hopkins is not personally venal. He is worse. He would bribe his country with his countrymen’s money.

JIMMY QUITS WHITE HOUSE Washington, Nov. 15.— President Roosevelt announced 'today that his son James had resigned from the White House secretariat because of illness, but expressed hope that a complete recuperation would permit him to resume his duties next spring. Mr. Roosevelt said that James’s physicians had prescribed complete rest to facilitate his recuperation front a recent operation for a gastric ulcer. The operation was performed at the Mayo clinic in Rochester, Minn. The president said that no success or had been named. James is now resting in California. JERICHO CAPTURED AFTER TWO MONTHS Jericho, Palestine, Nov. 13.—Jeri cho fell into the hands of the British army today after two months of oc cupation by Arab rebels. The clay walls of the old city fell this time not at the sound of Joshua’s rams horn trumpets, but from the thundering rumble of scores of Bri tish army tanks and atillery and a long column of trucks carrying Bri tish soldiers. The first rays of dawn lighted up the barren Moab mountains over looking the Dead Sea where Moses caught his first glimpses of the prom ised land when the British forces, led by a squadron of royal air force planes, surprised the sleeping popu lation. Immediately the frightened popu lation fled, attempting to cross the salt marshes of the Dead Sea, fleeing toward Jordan, or seeking shelter in hermit caves in the hills overlook ing the famous Wadi Kelt canyon. But all were forced to return by the British cordon of soldiers. The troops immediately cordoned off the town, and made house to house searches. They met almost no resistance, although those refusing to surrender or firing at the planes were vigor ously vanquished. An inspection of the city which Antony presented to Cleopatra as a gift at the height of the Roman em pire disclosed the rebels had burned the police station, post office and cus toms house and established their own headquarters in a hotel. Six planes swooped down Jordan valley early this morning, dropping leaflets and advising the inhabitants they would not be harmed if they of fered no resistance and remained In doors. FRESHMEN MEET P. C. IN FINAL GAME Coach “Tater” Harmon is working his Newberry Papooses hard in order to have them at top form for their game with the ?. C. Baby Blue Hose which will be played on the local field Friday night at 8 o’clock. The P. C. Anklets give promise of being the toughest opposition that the New berry Frosh have faced all year. P. C. has lost but one game and that to the fast-stepping Carolina Chicks by the score of 6-0. The Newberry Freshmen are undefeated and will give all they have to keep their rec ord clear. Football fans in this section have not seen a Newberry College team defeated this year. Both varsity and freshmen have won all games played on the home field. The Papooses have to their credit a startling vic tory over the Furman first year men. They have also defeated Brevard junior college and tue Erskine Baby Fleet. This will be the last opport unity for the fans to see the Frosh perform this season. The team is in good shape for the game. “Slasher” Hoag, Newberry boy, has recovered from a bruised back and will see plenty of action in the game. Holt, Power, DePrima, Roos, Graves, We ber, and Lewis are a few of the first year men who are counted upon to be of great help to the 1939 Newberry varsity. GAME GROUP MEETS The November session of the county chapter of the Fish and Game Association was held Monday night at the Bush River school, with 60 members present. A supper was ser ved by the ladies of the community. Because of the absence of the exe cutive officers who were called out of town, no business program was held.

PASTOR INSTRUCTS FARMER The following from the Edgefield Advertiser, handed us by Carl Ep- ting, will be of interest here where Rev. Haltiwanger is well and favor ably known: “Mr. A. A. Derrick, Who lives a few miles south of Johnston, can well boast of having the finest turnip patch in Edgefield county. His tur nip tops are more than knee high to the average person. He invited Ms neighbors to come and get all the tur nip salad they would want. He has found a ready market for his salad at the local stores. “Although Mr. Derrick is an ex cellent farmer and a good gardener, he gives credit to his pastor. Rev. W. D. Haltiwanger, for showing him how to prepare his patch to make big turnips and fine salad. Mr. Der rick made two sowings in his patch, a deep sowing and a shallow sowing. The seed covered at some depth were the first to germinate, and they are responsible for the present big yield. The shallow sowing began coming up about three weeks or a month af ter the deep sowing. Mr. Derrick is thoroughly sold on his pastor’s way of sowing turnips.” NOTICE OF JURY DRAWING We the undersigned Jury Com- miseioners of Newberry County, 8.
