OLIN THE RABBLE- ROLSER
Rabble-rouser Olin Johnston who
has no highway issue in this cam
paign with which to rouse the rabble
is trying to make one out of Senator
Wheeler. “I won’t sent! out any let
ters telling soldiers w hat to do” he
is reported to have said at Walter-
'boro. Mr. Johnston known as all
newspaper readers know that Sena
tor Wheeler did not send out his
cards to soldiers. Secretary Knox
charging that he did later apologized
and admitted that he did not, all of
which was duly reported in the press.
The ex-governor does not seem to be
very well informed.
No, he won’t send out any cards;
not as a United States senator. We
can sort of put up with some of our
politicians making asses of them
selves within the state, but we cannot
risk such cattle as Olin in Washing
ton. Maybank and Bryson, neither of
■whom is a heavy-weight, at least
seem to know how to conduct them
selves in high positions.
SATURDAY AT SALUDA
Newberrians who have ties in Salu
da, and there are many of us, will
want to attend the big doings over
there Saturday. Celebration of the
45th anniversary of the founding of
the cobnty is expected' to attract
many hundreds of people from ail
around. Dedication exercises, high
light of which is an address by Judge
E. S. Blease, gets under way in the
morning hours, perhaps about 10
o’clock. The politicians will be there
in the afternoon and speak from the
courthouse, beginning about 2:30.
HERE IS TO EUGENE BLEASE
All cats look alike in the dark.
And most, if not all, politicians in
these “diggins” look alike and talk
alike, day or night. We have not
whooped up the cause of any ‘Me
Too”. We are still hooking no clay
nor raising dust in anybody’s behalf,
or against anybody. We deplore the
quick and sad death of U. S. Senator
Lumpkin. To take his 4-month shoes,
Eugene Blease is the best shot men
tioned so far. We break out of a
straight jacket and endorse Blease.—
Calhoun Times.
Coming Saturday Is
Big Day For Saluda
Saluda is planning to celebrate on
August sixteenth, the 45th anniver

of their first court house building

establishment of Saluda County by
the Constitutional Convention of
1895. This latter event is being anti
cipated by about 60 days in order to
celebrate both events on the same
day.
Saluda is expecting to have with
on that occasion the six surviving
members of the 1895 convention that
gave us our fundamental laws and
also created the new county of Salu
da—t'^e only one established by that
body of the more than a dozen pro
posed counties that were presented.
These survivors—only six out of
160—are Governor John Gary Evans,
formerly of Aiken now of Spartan
burg; Judge C. M. Effird of Lexing
ton; Hon. Thos. I. Rodgers of Marl

now of Columbia; Judge George F.
Von Kolnits of Charltston, and Hon.

county, now of Columbia.
Judge Eugene S. Blease of Newber
ry will be the principal speaker,for
the occasion. Others will be heard
also.
It is to be a state-wide affair and
Saluda is extending to all a cordial
invitation.
The exercises will begin by a huge

Urges A Sales Tax
For Federal Revenue
Washington, Aug. 12.—The senate
comittee hegpd proposals from sev
eral business spokesmen today for
imposition of a general manufacur
ers sales tax in place of the excise
taxes on so-called luxury items eon
tained in the pending $3,236,700,000
revenue bill.
Senator Vandenberg (R.-Mich,r ex
pressed agreement with one witness
that such a tax would simplify the
work of the internal revenue bureau
and eliminate many objections pre
sented to the committee by repres
sentatives of industries affected by
the proposed excise taxes.
Chairman George (D-GA.) of the
committee told reporters later that
he believed there was considerable
support for a manufacturers sales
tax within the committee, but that
opposition by the administration
would make it unlikely that Congress
or the committee would approve it.
The canufacturers sales tax was
advocated by Hugh Satterlee, chair
man of the committee on taxation
of the New York Lawyers associa
tion; Jay Iglauer, chairman of tha
taxation committee of the National
Retail Dry Goods association, and
N. W. Hart, president of the Com
mercial Refrigerator Manufacturers
association.

BASEBALL AT JOLLY STREET
MRS. NANNIE HESTER DIES
THEY KNEW HIM WHEN
Raleigh News and Observer.
A terse war bulletin last week,
quoting Col. Kunio Akiyams as the
“Japanese army spokesman” after a
Japanese-Russian clash, . along the
Siberian frontier, snapped a lot of old
Wake Forest college graduates to at
tention and put them to scratching
their heads.
“Is not this important Japanese of
ficial the K. Aklyama who graduated
(BA) at Wake Forrest in Governor
J. M. Broughton’s class of 1»I0?”
wondered W. F. Marshall of Hillcrest
Road here. “In the class Howler
for that year appears a portrait of
the Japanese graduate of whom it
was said that he has been with us
only two years but, nevertheless, has
made friends of us all, and we hope
to hear of him as a bright and shin
ing star in the political arena of his
country.”
Small world! That “bright and shin
ing” star pops up in the military
arena, instead of the political ,if
there is any difference in Japan.
Ironically enough, the college sketch
is introduced by a quotation: “Tis
for the good of my country that I
should be abroad.”
Mrs. Nannie Keisler Hester, 64, of
Whitmire passed away Tuesday at
the Newberry County hospital after
an illness of about six weeks.
Funeral services were held Wednes-
