OLD JOHN BARLEY CORN ON THE RUN AGAIN Liquor is a great evil. It has never been settled since Noah got drunk, and probably never will be. This ref erendum was quiet and fair. We have heard little or nothing about it this summer. 1 In so short a time it is sur prising that there is a mandate to return to prohibition which was un doubtedly a failure. What is the ex planation? There are several reasons. Too many liquor shops were estab lished. We agree with the Greenwood Index-Journal oh that. The Journal says further that stamped liquor was sold at all hours df the night. We did not know or suspect it, if it happen ed in Calhoun County, which loves liquor, and voted against the referen dum. We are told by a prominent pro hibitionist that the heaviest majorities about 4 to 1 in favor of prohobition were in the leading Piedmont coun ties. , Hie women it' is said, in the textile mills, were i disgusted with their husbands coming home drtmk. During our former prohibition period we often thought of an incident in old Andrew Jackson’s 'presidential career, about lands and Indians in Georgia. Jackson was urged to 1 in terfere but refused to dispute the Georgia courts. The case was car ried to the U. $. Supreme Court, and John Marshall: Chief Justice did not agree. Jackson’s comment was: “John Marshall made the few. Now let him enforce it.” The preachers, the women, and a minority of stal wart male prohibitionist* gave us prohibition and then went to sleep on the enforcement end. We know, beeause then'a fanatical pro. It will again, a* it did before help the colored people' because it was reasonably enforced. We do not recall a single white voter who pick ed any rocks. i «»->*» • " We are not -free of Wind tigers. They will bloom Again as ; the green bay tree. They will gWfc the revenue and you will pay the taxes. A shabby argument, of course, 1 if prohibition could be made a success. Something else will happen. A i sales tax will cer tainly be clapped 1 on. - Then when they change again to liquor, as they prob&ibly will, that sales tax will never be clapped; off - . (Theses are just our views withoutithe.'Slightest bit terness. This paper lay low before the election. It .will continue that policy. We sincerely hope, if put across that it will work. It was cer tainly a failure before.—Calhoun Times. NEWBERRY PARK OPENING POSTPONED UNTIL SPRING The formal public opening of New berry County’s 300-acre park in his toric Lynch Woods has been postponed until next spring. This announce ment comes today through the New berry Chamber of Commerce, from the joint committee handling the af fair. Previous announcements stated that the celebration would be held on Wednesday, August 14. However, th e postponement became necessary because of the heavy rains following the recent coastal hurricane; further Ians for a later celebration have _een abandoned because of work which has begun on the new National Guard Armory, located at th e main entrance to the County Park. Authorities state that the new Na tional Guard Armory will be com pleted this winter, and it is hoped that a joint mammoth celebration may be arranged for dedication of the park and armory at one time. Trust no one unless you have eat en much salt with him.—Cicero. I NO ACT OF WAR (Christian Science Monitor)-*i' Intentionally or untentionalfy Some thing of a smoke screen has tk»n laid down around the proposal* 1 ‘ td sell American destroyers to Great Britain. One question around which murk has settled is : legality.' Senator Lee of Oklahoma said the other day that Senators appeared readjr to debate that issue “until Christmas.” Eminent lawyers have given learned opinions om both side*. The question will be settled by pnblic opinion. One point on which the layman ought to be able-to decide quickly is the claim of the opponents that for America to sell destroyers to Britain would be “An act of war.” Those ver sed in international law can argue the technicaltties as long as they like. We believe' the ordinary citizen ohly wants ‘to 1 know whether such sale would put the United States trtto ■vihn*. * J " : 11,1,1 To us the plain answer is, No. The Last thing the Nazis wish is tb' draw America into the war. If they wait ed''to take on the United States at this stage 1 they cobld find wa^s td do it—as they have found whenever they considered 'if useful to bring other countries in. They would have ho more excuse for calling sale of des troyers through 1 private contractors an' abt Of war than the sale of army planes and guns'already made by 1 this method. ■ ■ We do' not believe patriotic Oppon ents of the sale of destroyers really wish to strain international law tb fit the 1 purpose of the totalitariahs. That was 'done when Germany and Italy intervened in Spain under the “non intervention” farce. The surest way toimake mter nation ah low moan: some thing La i to- help stop dndrchy produc ed by those who recognize no law but force. :'' .... Hat i-.in .11 r Let public opinion 'be clear as . to where the.' real, interests of the Uniti ad States and of world order lie "in thin issue and there will be no dan ger of playing the totalitarians’ garrte with “talky-talk” over technicalities. r., ItO. t—< 1 ."O'"- I'iT <i >i ‘BoubtfuLState i" >' "Campaign Orator: This is a de mocracy.

Dangerous Weapon Judge: You say your wife attacked you with a death-dealing weapon ? What was the nature of that weapon ? Meeker: It was a fly swatter, your honor. Honest Girl Frank: When you proposed to her, I suppose she said: “This is so sud den!” Jack: No, she was honest and said: “The suspense has been terrible.” Discontent is the first step in the progress of a man or a nation.—Oscar Wilde. Rises But to Fall As the blessings of health and for tune have a beginning, so they must also find an end. Everything rises but to fall, and increases but to decay.- Sallust.

A state nan be' as foolish as individuals, even more foolish, because a State may issue notes and bond* without considerable swank until the invest ing i public walk out on it; 1 1111 There should be no deficit during this current.fiscal-year. As I’ve said once or twi^e, the law authorizes the State Budget Commission to reduce ajj, appropriations so as to bring the b^dgfjb.into balance. If the Court al lows the diversion of IJighway funds that will be two million dollars; but if the Court declares the diversion un r opnstiiiutional, the Budget Coirimisr Sion has the power to act at once to pr^vept a new deficit., S" I Oi . . Thepe is no unified control of ouf grtaite’f* finances. The Budget Com- piission prepares a total which is within, the expected total revenue; the Ways and means Gopunitifaee of the Hpuse does about the same, and then the House itself will add to the total,, ps favorite public, work .finds persistent champions on the floor- The Senate 'Finance Committee goes all Over jfc again and then the , Senate adds to- the total from the floor. When the bill reaches the Free Conference Oommitte it may be reborn iu another form. At no stage of the legislative proceeding has there been an inves tigation into the real work of the ser vice. A few questions may be asked— and that is all. What we need is about the same checking and over hauling that a big chain business gives its local branches about once a month. The present arrangement encourages each service to ask for everything imaginable, knowing that if it be reduced thirty per cent it will still be well favored. On the other hand, the Legislative Committees feel that they have made substantial reductions if they reduce them ten to fifteen per cent. The whole thing is more jockeying over totals than careful survey of need. One of our institutions which start ed out dedicated to plain living and high thinking has become so magni- ficantly housed that the plain living has obviously gone by the board, and one fears that the high thinking is in jeopardy. When a budget is submitted for one of our institutions it sounds like the the conclusion one reaches on hearing about our army. We spend millions and millions every year, but fahere are always in adequacies. Would it be possible to build a state on a firm foundation of service, or must we just play at this?

No soap for even toilet purposes except that made from “soap grease and lye leached from ashes.” No biscuits ex cept on Sunday mornings at break fast, no shoes, save those made by the neighborhood cobbler—these were in deed “hard times” to be telling about in after years. Granny and her contemporaries learned to brew all manner of herbs for home remedies — horehound tea, pine needle tea and honey and vinegar for colds and coughs—peachtree leaves stripped from nine new switches, “stripped the wrong way of the bark r and steeped nine minutes in hot water, for reducing fevers, also mullein pool tices for reducing fever and soreness in any part of the body; bear grass mixed with lard fbr rheumatism, as well as pokeberry juice and wine for the same ailment. Sage tea and alum for sore mouth; red oak bark, wild cherry bark, tansy, rue, balsam, and a garden full of other sweet smelling herbs which took the place of the mo dem apothecary’s shop. No drug bil 1 s, no doctors’ bills then; in fact, few doctors in Laurens county, or else where left after the war. A broken bone was a little thing in Granny’s early days. And give her time, and the benefit of her home remedies, Granny will no doubt over come her misfortune and hobble on toward her century mark. ^Scratching; Mim Itch Fast •rBsiflrBidl For quick relief from itching of eczema, pimples, athlete’s foot, scabies, rashes and other ex ternally caused skin troubles, use world-famous, cooling, antiseptic, liquid D.D.D.
