Spectator Traces Klai^s Rising
To Roosevelt’s Policies
Farmers, it might be wise to sow
oats and wheat in a larger acreage
than usual. This, of course, is the
time to sow oats. There is a possi
bility of higher commodity prices.
Any farmer who has to buy for him
self or his stock may have to buy on
a high market, although he has just
sold his crop on a very low market.
If you make a big crop of oats
you won’t need so much corn. As all
farming is a tremendous hazard it
is prudent to make what you can
when you can. A barn full of oats
will carry you even with a short
corn crop. But if you fail on one
you may hit it right with the other.
If you make two big crops your ship
will have come in.
“Skit” Wideman, once a Senator,
but now a good agriculturist enjoy
ing his friends and enjoying his
friends and spreading happines and
good cheer wherever he goes, told
Spectator that he—Spectator—was
all wrpng about needing go-getters,
instead of men rejoicing in barbecue,
fish-stew, clam-bake, and all that.
You old Carolina men remember
“Skit”? He and Tommy McMillan
were stars at Carolina, “Skit” being
captain. Skit became a small star
in the big league—no, that’s wrong.
“Wide” was a big star in a small
league—and that’s what he is now—
a big heart and cheery spirit in a
small place.
Well, anyhow, Mr. Wideman says
that “go-getters” work themselves
into 3 lather chasing this or that
phantom, hoping to be happy some
day, overlooking all the happiness
that might be had today. And, he
says, the man who throws away his
cares and goes fishing; or who revels
in a fish stew r or barbecue is getting
happiness today, enjoying good fel
lowship; and that the man wdio is a
go-getter all the time is chasing a
rainbow.
I have a friend, a practical phil
osopher, over in Hartesville. He is a
go-getter until go-getting palls on
him, then he steals away in his car
to a delightful camp and takes a
nap to the murmuring lulaby of a
swift moving waterfall. There I
found him one day sleeping like a
baby, and rudely roused him, from
dreams of the three little fishes,-to
the demands of the wicked world.
nounced and condemned by those of
our foremost public men who spea"k
out, but even some of them are not
entirely wrought up about it when
speaking in private.
The present emergence of the Klan
arises from conditions which Mr.
Roosevelt has brought about and
which every thoughtful white man
was anxious to avoi(J.
The Colored people — ninety-five
per cent of them—live in peace and
contentment with their white neigh
bors. A small group of colored poli
ticians, and some whites truckling
to them, will upset all the good work
of White and Colored leaders for
three generations, unless they are
nipped in the bud.
Spectator is not a Klansman; he
knows nothing about the Klan except
what he reads in the papers. He is
not an apologist for the Klan. He
knows, however, as a man horn and
bred in the South that some of our
thinkers and leaders are grossly mis
informed if they think there is no
threat on the horizon. In a number
of South Carolina communities the
very best men can—and do—tell in
private about conditions which should
not be allowed to develop. They
have talked to me, always denounc
ing the Klan publicly, however.
Almost in every way the combin
ation of Northern Democrats, com
munists, negroes, faddists, theorists,
dreamers and know-alls have betray
ed us Southern Democrats for a mess
of pottage.
all business -executives crazy.
Spectator attended the National
Cotton Festival in Greenville last
week and enjoyed the festivities of
that thriving city. Greenville is for
tunate in having the means to do
big things, but she also has the peo
ple who will throw themselves with
all their ability into public move
ments and celebrations.
Thursday afternoon I stood on the
street and admired some fine floats.
| While there I saw “Cotton Ed” on
i his throne, riding through the streets,
1 all agog and beaming like a small
I boy at a picnic. Down the streets
j came a wagon loaded with cotton and
| atop the load sat “Cotton Ed” on a
bale.
The pageant Thursday night, the
crowning of the King and Queen, was
a fine production, both in costume
and in performance. Spectator
thought the young King and Queen
( very regal indeed, but Mr. Protor
i Bronham, the King’s Equerry, and
M" T. M. Marchant, the Cardinal,
acted their parts to a queen’s taste—
and moreover, looked the parts.
Spectator was not allowed to stay
in a hotel, but enjoyed the hospitali
ty of a gracious host and hostess m
a home of congenial spirits.
Through the courtesy of Mr. Mar-
chant I visited a textile plant of the
most recent machinery and observed
with interest the operations.
Friday I met another Cotton Coun
cil friend, Mr. J. Robert Lindsay, and
with him sat in the studio while Os
car Johnston delivered his broadcast
to twenty million people.
Greenville has so many executives
of outstanding ability that if the
whole executive direction of the
United States government were as-
South American trade isn’t worth
having if South American nations
can’t pay for what they buy.
To sell on long terms to concerns
of established or proved credit is
all right, for we have the capital as
well as the credit facilities; but to
rush pell-mell into trade with South
America merely to imagine that we
are doing business is foolish.
Under the plan of transforming
this nation in a day Congress en
acted the National Labor Relations
Bill and established the National
Labor Relations Board. Under the
administration of that law the mills
are always condemned in advance. It
has worked out worse than a dream
of Czarist Russia.
The United States has become a
land of petty administrative despots
The Ku Kluckers are being de- ' whose activities are about to drive
signed to Greenville there would be
no difficulty in filling all key posi
tions over night.
I went to see the County Treasur
er to pay my taxes, Saturday. To
my amazement a half dozen gentle
men and one lady stood in line—and
business had been brisk all day. Un
doubtedly that is due to our appreci
ation of a grand county and our keen
desire to pay up so that there may
be no talk of joining us to neighbor
ing counties.
DOWN ON THE FARM
.... The harvest is about over. Now before the work starts in earnest
again, Newberry farmers will want to take a few days off for the Fair,
and to see what the other fellow has been doing this year.
It has been our privelege to serve an increasing number of New
berry county farmers and we are glad to note that yields on the farms
this year seem to be bountiful.

Divorces are not granted in South
Carolina; nor are they easily recog
nized when granted by courts of
other states. If the purpose of seek
ing a divorce in Georgia is merely to
evade the South Carolina law—and
that usually is the truth—this State
will not reco-gnize the divorce, if the
question is brought before our courts.
Ordinarily the legality of a divorce,
or the validity of second marriages
of divorced persons is not challeng
ed, but if property rights should
hinge on the validity of the divorce
you will find a horse of another color.
A case of the sort recently came
before the Probate Court here in
Richland County involving property
rights of children under a divorce.
The decision of the Judge of Probate
is wholly sound, according to the de
cision of our Supreme Court. I
quote him: -“The woman was not a
bona fide resident of the State of
Georgia twelve months prior to the
filing of her petition for a divorce.
But if we admit that she did reside
there . . . we find that she immediate
ly returned to this State . . . which
convinces this Court that she went
to Georgia for the sole purpose of
getting a divorce.”
That is the law and this State does
not give its benediction those w-ho
seek to evade its law.

SEED GRAIN FOR SALE
The time has arrived to commence sowing. Remember when
the supply is large and prices are reasonable, quality should
count more than usual.
We are growers of selected seed grain grown from Pedigreed
stock and all of our seed have been recleaned and graded and our
prices are reasonable.
Full grain Oats. Second year from Coker 60c bu.
Full gain Oats first year from Coker $1.00 bu.
Redheart Wheat. Second year from Coker $1.25 bu.
Redheart Wheat. First year from Coker $1.50 bu.
Maretts Beardless Barley $1.00 bu.
Clemson Beardless Barley $1.00 bu.
Contact us for prices on large quantities.
Our advice to all farmers in this section is to plant more acres
in Beardless Bai ley and less acres in corn since Barley can be
raised for so much less. Corn is a very expensive crop. You can
plant the same acres in Barley and raise twice the number of
bushels with less expense and barley is just as good feed. Our
yield this year was 2871 bu. on 70 acres!

Efficient and happy housekeeping
depends on many factors besides reg
ular meals and clean and orderly
rooms. It can be an interesting and
absorbing business of providing a per
fect background for yourself and
your own special kind of living, rath
er than a dull routine of cooking and
dusting.
Naturally income, obligations, in
terests, friends and local customs in
fluence your scheme of living, be
cause these things determine very
definitely your mode of everyday liv
ing, as well as entertaining.
Clever management makes it possi
ble for the maid-less woman to en
tertain her friends just as delightful
ly as if she had a houseful of serv
ants. Keep your menus simple, serv
ing only the things that you are sure
will be easy to prepare and that re
quire no last-minute fussing.
Let your gtiests help and they will
enjoy your parties and remember
them with genuine enthusiasm. Give
them tasks that they can do such as
putting the salad together, pouring
the water, or setting the table. Logi
cal order in your kitchen and pantry
cupboards as well as your refrigerat
or and supply cabinets, will make it
easy for anyone to find his way
around to help you.
The gardener should store a box
of potting soil in his cellar, now,
before the ground freezes so he won’t
be able to dig it. When it comes
time to start seeds indoors next
soring, it may be well nigh impossi
ble to get the soil for the flats, and
all winter long house plants will be
needing a bit of fresh dirt around
them.
It’s a good idea to mulch newly-
planted daffodils the first year.
Leaves are splendid for bulbs you
are naturalizing, and of course peat
moss is desirable in a bed or border.
Speaking of leaves, there’s nothing
better to feed lilies-of-the-valley than
leaf mold.
Parsley plants and chives should
be potted for your kitchen window
garden.
