BOTH SIDES HEARD (Continued From Page One) Drinking of “these beverages is being suggested constantly over the radio, in our newspapers and in mag azines,” she said. This suggestion has caused more drinking Mrs. Smothers said. .Betts Also Speaks The Rev. A. D. Betts of Orange burg. executive secretary of the South Carolina Federated Forces for Temperance and Law enforcement, said the liquor traffic had been in jurious “everywhere”. “Science tells us that liquor is a poison,” a narcotic and a “habit-form ing drug and a five billion dollar .business” which he said was having a “big hand in running the govern ments of the states.” In a loud voice, Betts asserted R.

LOMINACK Hardware that several years ago the legisla ture “put a lie on the statute books” by declaring wine of less than 21 per cent alcoholic were non-intoxicating. The Rev. W. A. Tinsley of Ander son said he visited homes where fathers said thgy wished they could not get whiskey so easy.” “We have men who make only $10-|15 a week who say they are willing to pay more taxes to keep this sin from our children. The Rev. W. A. Loudermilk of Pickens county said, “You’ll never drink yourself sober or spend your selves to success.” If liquor must be sold, he said, “Why not brand it ‘poison’?” Of the revenue problem he said that “certainly a sales tax would take care of it as it has been the sal vation of Texas, Louisiana and other states.” Cherokee Minister Talks The Rev. W. W. Long of Blacks burg said that in Cherokee county, which ranked next to Pickens in its prepondently dry vote, “we have the chargin of having before us every day three liquor stores almost under the shadow of our church. “If the voice of the people does not have weight in the halls of this house, then what kind of govern ment do we have?” John E. Edens, Columbia attorney representing a liquor wholesaler, said that wholesalers would be un able to liquidate their affairs by July 1, when the dry proposal would take effect. “We are going to create a boot legging industry in South Carolina that no county or state can possibly regulate,” if the bill should pass, he said. The measure would “make graft ers and other violaters as before” under prohibition, he declared. J. W. Orvin, Charleston insurance executive said that if a new tax were provided, “for God’s sake don't put it on real estate . . . For God’s sake put on a sales tax” instead. Britton said the liquor-murder law comparison was improper. Laws For AH Offenses “We still have laws against drunk enness and disorder on our law books, and I think that is the proper com parison,” he said. “We’ll continue to have unlegal ized drinking in South Carolina, my dear friends, whether you pass a prohibition law or not.” He said that “I’ve heard a lot about the legalized sale of liquor” at the hearing, but not “a word »oout the unlegalized sale of liquor.” John B. Sloan of Greenwood, representing some bankers, said he was interested in “a balanced bud get” and said that the primary vot ers “distinctly had. rb- in mind that you would first find a source of revenue and then pass the prohibi tion act.” R. O. Bowden of Hampton said he voted dry last year and then declar ed: “I’m tired paying as much as I pay for liquor.” President E. R. Crow, said the South Carolina education association asked that other revenue be provid ed if prohibition was returned'. He explained that the constitution ear marked some liquor revenue for schools. Dr. J. C. Roper of Gaffney said, in rebuttal for the drys, that "You kill the goose with alcoholism.” The Loan Shop IN New Location 1006 Main Street In Building Formerly Occupied by Senn's Cash Grocery, opposite Memorial Square MONEY Loaned on Personal Property Merchandise For Sale Jewelry, Luggage, Suits, Overcoats Men’s and Boys’ Used Shoes.

Daniel, state director of Public Welfare, said today that statements appearing in a number of South Carolina newspapers indi cate considerable misunderstanding of the handling of surplus food com modities, which is supervised by the Department of Public Welfare. The distribution of surplus commo dities, Mr. Daniel said, is not prim arily a relief measure, -but is a meth od of the United States Department of Agriculture for preventing disast rous slumps in prices received by farmers who produce the commodi ties. Where a surplus of a commo dity is produced, the United States Department of Agriculture goes into the market and buys the indicated surplus, in order that prices may not break to a point below the cost of production. After purchasing these commodi ties the United States Department of Agriculture donates them to Wel fare agencies which agree to distri bute them according to regulations prescribed by ifihe Department of Ag riculture. The commodities are ship ped freight paid to destination points within the state. The function of the Department of Public Welfare is to investigate and determine eligibility of persons ap plying for commodities. If they are found eligible, according to stand ards established by the United States Department of Agriculture, they are given the commodities. No commodities are available for distribution except those of which a surplus has been produced and pur chased by the Department of Agricul ture. Neither the applicant nor the Department of Public Welfare has any discretion in the matter of select ing specific commodities. One of the chief requirements cov ered by regulations of the department of Agriculture is that commodities shall be distributed in such a way as not to interfere with normal trade in such commodities. In carrying out this requirement, the quantities avail able to any individual or family are extremely limited. They are not supposed to provide subsists nee, but to add to the food supplies normally available to the applicant. Under present regulations typical maximum monthly quantities which can be giv en to an individual are: flour, 4 lbs., dried skimmed milk, 2 lbs., rice, 2 lbs., potatoes, 10 lbs., canned veal, 2 lbs., canned beef, 2 H>s., canned fish, 4 lbs., dried peas, 1 lb., dried beans, 1 lb., etc. No person in the state, Mr. Daniel said, can obtain more than these maximum quantities within any one month, nor can he obtain any food commodities except those of which a surplus exists.

Along with Daisy Mae, the gal who thinks he “is just plain lovely” but can’t get him to make love, and all the other fantastic characters of Dogpatch, he steps right out of the funny papers onto the motion picture screen. The millions who grab the paper and turn first thing to “Li’l Abner’s” daily adventures, probably never thought that the movies could ever duplicate those fantastic characters created by Artist A1 Capp. But a remarkable job of expert type casting has been achieved by Vogue Pictures. All of the Dogpatch folks have been duplicated in the flesh. As a picture “Li’l Abner” is total ly different from any film ever made. It is a combination- of fantasy, ro mance, action and slapstick comedy, reaching beyond the realm of reality, yet so convincingly done that aud iences find themselves transported to Dogpatch, the backwoods community, which exists only in the mind of Capp and his cartoons. You have been reading the “Li’l Abner” comic strip in your daily papers, so now you have a chance to see him in a picture, which will be shown at the Opera House Monday and Tuesday, February the 16th and 11th. If you enjoy funny pictures, don’t miss this one. HAL’S ADLET’S. Mrs. Steven’s mints in half and pound boxes. A favorite with the ladies. Mrs. Steven’s Valentine can dy now here, 39c and up.

BARUCH RETAINS (Continued From Page Five) may have been his personal friends and associates. His dominating purpose was to “bring the people to realize their only business then was the business of war and to make the country so self-contained in an economic sense that it could, if necessary, continue to fight Independently and indefinite ly until victory was secured.” “Some of the war lords ot the world have said I was and am a war manger.” said Mr. Baruch. “If in- sistance that this country be armed to protect the life and the system that we have here is war mongering, then I am a war monger. Every thoughtful person knows that no one gains from war—conqueror, van quished and neutrals all lose. Those who think war will bring profit bo any nation are in error. It is only peace that can bring gain, spiritual or ma terial. The kind' of peace we should have is that which will permit in the whole world, the development of the individual, that he may be free to think, to work and to live as we have been privileged in this country.*' PIGS FOR SALE—See S.
