APPROPRIATIONS OF i908 FAR
BELOW PRESENT; S. 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.

ST. 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

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.
The December meeting will be 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.”
