PUT IT UNDERGROUND
Since it has been decided to rebuild
the power lines over the city why not
put them underground ? Even if the
cost were more it would be cheaper in
the long run and the removal of poles
and wires from the streets is certain
ly to be desired. And too, by putting
the wires underground the matter of
cutting our beautiful shade trees will
be forever settled.
If the commission does not have the
money on hand to lay all the wires
underground, let them do such of the
work as their money will cover and
do the rest later. There is nothing
wrong with the distributing system
as it stands so far as the immediate
future is concerned. The service is
good and will remain so for a long
enough period to enable the commis
sion to do the work as it should be
done.
HARE HITS ITS SOLAR PLEXUS
News & Courier.
If one would be versed in philoso
phy, economics, politics, and, casually,
even in religion, one has but to read
the reports of the orations of candi
dates in South Carolina telling of their
“records.” Por example, a candidate
for prosecuting officer relates that he
has been energetic, diligent in “service
clubs,” at which one may satisfy his
hunger.
Of moving (Mr. Scoop Latimer
would say “emoting”) interest was the
address the other day of Mr. B. B.
Hare, candidate for re-election to the
national house of representatives, who
said that he had “introduced a bill for
the purchase of 2,000,000 bales of cot
ton to be turned into ammunition and
stored for future use.
“My purpose in doing this was two
fold, first, as a preparation for future
events such as the world now faces,
and socond, to remove that mfich
cheap cotton from the market. Ef the
bill had passed, and if it were now in
operation we should have a supply of
ammunition to be passed on to the
nations of Europe who have needed
it so sorely during the past year.
“He told of other bills he had spon
sored and of appropriations and enact
ments favored by him which have be
come almose prophetic in the light of
present events. He mentioned speci-
fieially the addition of 6,000 airplanes
in February, 1939, an increase in the
navy appropriation, and double the
navy amount in army funds.”
Conceding for the sake of sage dis
cussion that this was a bill of note
worthy merit, “almost prophetic in
the light of present events,” why was
the bill not parsed?
Further, Mr. Hare concluded, “I am
not boastful, but I have been asked to
the White House and have talked
across the table with Mr. Roosevelt
as to military affairs here and in the
Orient and have been called upon by
Secretary Cordell Hull in connection
with certain ohases of the program.”
Alas and alackaday! Mr. Hare’s
bill for the purchase of 2,000,000 bales
of cotton and its conversion into am
munition was not enacted, notwith
standing that he had “talked across
the table” with Mr Roosevelt. Is it
conceivable that a candidate for con
gress is slyly rebuking the command
er-in-chief for neglecting his sugges
tion, or measure, dating from Febru
ary, 1939, for “the addition of 6,000
airplanes, an increase in the navy ap
propriations and double the navy
amount in army funds?”
In all of that (mark, it was about
fourteen months before the command
er-in-chief awoke to the necessity for
preparedness and called Knox, Stim-
son, Knudsen, Stettinius, Forestal
and other “economic royalists” and
Old Guard Republicans to his aid) Mr.
Hare was sound and far-seeing—and
to all that the president and his con
gress were indifferent.
They were concerned for “social
gains/’ which make votes for con
gressmen in their districts and states.
“Across the table” it seems that
the president was no more heedful of
Mr. Hare than a king would have been
of a cat that looked at him. Yet Mr.
Hare was right, as to appropriations
for the army and navy—and President
Roosevelt and his majority in congress
gave him no more attention than they
gave to Barnard Baruch in 1938.
Why did they sit down on Mr.
Hare? They are appropriating the
money now—and if the defenses of
the United States had been improved
since February, 1939, this Hitler would
not now threaten to bestride, like a
Colossus, the narrow world. He would
have listened to reason from the
United States—and the reasoning
would have been airplanes, more ships
and more soldiers.
The News and Courier would not
suggest that Representative Hare had
the purpose in mind, but his speech
In Greenwood last Tuesday telling of
his “record” landed on the solar plexus
of the “record” of President Roosevelt
and the New Deal.

Hare and Old Age
Pensions
The position of Congressman Butler
B. Hare on Old Age Pensions is best
stated in this extract from a speech
made my him in the present Congress.
Far from being opposed to pensions
for the aged, Mr. Hare has sought to
bring about a condition that will in
sure even larger amounts to those
unable to make their own living. Mr.
Hare’s remarks follow:
“Mr. Chairman, as nothing has been
said in this debate so far about a
change in the ratio between the Fed
eral contribution and the States’ for
old-age assistance, I would like to
call attention to some of the testi
mony before the Committee which
suggests a more equitable arrange
ment than the 50-50 provision of the
existing law.
“Under the present law the Federal
Government contributes dollar for
dollar to the States up to $20 per
month for every needy person over
65 years of age who can qualify und
er the State law. Under this arrange
ment the average monthly payment
ranges from about $6 per month to
$32 in the several States, and it is
generally known there are many needy
people ovr 65 years of age whose ap
plications have not been approved in a
number of States for the reason that
such States have not been financially
able to meet their part of the pay
ments. There was testimony submit
ted to your Committee to the effect
that the present arrangement oper
ates as an actual burden to a number
of States where the per capita wealth
is low. To illustrate: One State may
contribute only $6 per month and an
other may contribute $2C per month,
but the former will be contributing
more in proportion to its per capita
wealth than the latter. At the same
time, the poor States contribute their
share to the contribution made by
the Federal Government, and in actual
operation the wealthier States, while
making a greater contribution to the
needy old-age persons, are actually
placing an additional burden on tne
poorer States to assist in the contri
bution made by the Federal Govern
ment to the wealthier States.
“I think, it is generally understood
the present arrangement is not satis
factory, and an effort was made last
year to change the uniform matching
ration from 50-50 to 75-25. That is,
in the latter case the Federal Gov
ernment would pay 75 cents to the
States’ 25 cents of each dollar paid in
the way of old-age assistance. Of
course, this would improve the cit-
uation, in the minds of many of us,
because it would decrease the contri
bution made by the States directly, but
at the same time it would force the
States to increase their contribution
to the Federal Government to meet
its proportionate share.
“It has been suggested by the Social
Security Board there ought to be a
system of variable grants to the
States by the Federal Government in
stead of the flat matching, and that
the variable grant should be related
to the economic capacity and the need
of the individual States. According
to the testimony of Dr. Altmeyer,
Chairman of the Board, such a plan
should not be very difficult to admin
ister for the reason that statistics of

Colony Homecoming
Is Set For Sunday
The members of Colony Lutheran
church, through a committee compos
ed of Prof. J. H. Bedenbaugh, Mr. J.
M. Wilson, and Mr. L. C. FMlmer,
have arranged a very attractive pro
gram for their annual home-coming,
Sunday, August 18, to which all for
mer members and the general public
is invited.
The Sunday school will assemble at
10:30 a. m. The various classes will
meet at their respective places for a
brief period, after which they will re
assemble in the church auditorium to
hear an address by Prof. T. E. Epting
of Newberry college.
The chief service will begin at
11:15. The welcome address will be
delivered by Mr. Carlisle Fulmer, a
son of the congregation. The sermon
will be delivered by the Rev. W. D.
Haltiwanger, a classmate in Newber
ry college and a classmate and room
mate in the Southern Lutheran Semi
nary of the present pastor of Colony,
Rev. M. L. Kester. Pastor Haltiwan
ger is also the most recent former
pastor of Colony, having resigned the
Beth-Eden parish about six years ago
to accept a call to the Johnston par
ish. Mr. Haltiwanger served the
Beth-Eden parish for about 10 years.
He is well and favorably remembered
and no doubt a large congregation
will be present to hear him Sunday.
At 12:30 dinner will be served on
the church grounds.
At 2:00 p. m. all persons present
are asked to reassemble in the church
where, after devotions, an address
will be delivered by Dr. Jas. C. Kin
ard, president of Newberry college.
Nothing need be said for the speak
ers. They are all outstanding and it
is the hope of the congregation and
the committee in charge of the pro
gram that all present will avail
themselves of the privilege and op
portunity of hearing them.

DOWN MEMORY
LANE
20 YEARS AGO
Before a crowd of several thousand
persons who stood for nearly two
hours under a sweltering August
sun at Hyde Park, Franklin D. Roose
velt gave an address formally accept
ing the Democratic nomination for
vice president today. He urged rati
fication of the peace treaty, “which to
make it a real peace, must include a
league of nations.”
There was another fine barbecue at
the home of Mr. John Baker on Wed
nesday, this one for the benefit of
Long Lane school. The rains came in
the morning and at the dinner hour
and interfered somewhat with the
pleasure of the day, but the meats
were cooked fine and all the people
were fed and there was plenty of meat
for those who desired to take some
home with them for the folk who can-
hot get to the barbecues as often as
the candidates. The speaking that
had been advertised was called off and
the people just mingled with one an
other and enjoyed the day in this way,
and perhaps better than if there had
been an effort to speak between the
showers.
One citizen says he doesn’t under
stand why the Confederate monu
ment’s plat isn’t kept in good condi
tion all the time.
The choir at the Lutheran church
Sunday morning was exceptionally
good. The choir was small in num
bers, but it made up for that in “effi
ciency set to music”, with the duet by
Mrs. S. J. Derrick and Dr. Jno. B.
Setzler. The magnificent pipe organ,
under the perfect control of Mrs. E.
B. Setzler, gave out rich volumes of
melody. Sunday night the music was
of the same high order as usual.
A FOX HUNT
On Wednesday night, August 21, at
9 o’clock there will be a fox hunt on
the Enoree river farm of Hal Kohn,
known as The Q arters. Foxes in
that section have been doing damage
to poultry and permission has been
granted to have this hunt, even tho
out of season at this time.
This event has been set for Wednes
day evening so that many may attend
the very enjoyable Mt. Pleasant pig
foot supper, given for the benefit of
Mt. Pleasant church, and after a fine
supper travel a few miles down the
road for the fox hurt. Mr. Kohn is
cooperating with the supper commit
tee in inviting those who come out
Wednesday to enjoy the hunt.
To reach Mt. Pleasant church,
where the supper will be served, drive
down Winnsboro road about 9 miles.
Just beyond Keitt’s cross roads, turn
left, upon reaching Caldwell road
turn right and go down that road sev
eral miles. To reach the fox hunt you
turn left near Reece Mercantile Co.’s
store. A flare wil be burning at this
point to guide those who wish to at-
tent the fox hunt. Ellerbe Sease will
be master of the fox hounds and a
good spot has been selected to hear
the dogs run.
