THE PEOPLE
PLEASE, BOSS
The president, that is, FDR, has
shown many times his preference for
the aristocracy. The president does
n’t like the smell of we lowbrows.
Johnston exudes the odor of the spin
dle, tKe looper and the loom but when
Maybanik sweeps into the presidential
presence bhrere is a scent of 18th cen
tury drawing rooms, old lace and lav
ender, and finely-gowned women with
piled up hair whirling about the dance
floor with gentlemen in tight britches
and side bums. When FDR gets a
whiff of this he is completely disarm
ed and shells out power dams like all
thunder.
Now, a little thing like a few mil
lions to help our poor farmers ought
to be arranged between these two ar
istocratic gentlemen without the
least hitch. The aristocrats look down
on us low bromis but they love us—
there wouldn’t be aristocrats if there
were no low-brows. So, as I say, they
love us, bad smelling as we are, and
if wo send Burnet up there they will
help u®.
Someday we ill-smelling folk will
come into our own. We will have us
a president who smells of the good
earth, one who will open the portals
of the White House as a bam door and
bid us enter, smell and all. We’ll rule
the earth, we common people, before
time shall have passed, but just now
we are on the outside and must pe*
our crumbs from the table of the
aristocracy.
The vote Tuesday shows we common
people realize the situation and ac
cept it for what it is—we are sen
sible if not sweet.
Now, Burnet, we are going to do our
best to send you to Washington, on
the 16th and your chances are good.
When you take office, yea, even the
day after you are elected, go to Wash
ington. and. tell your friend FDR that
our farmers are in a most hell of a
fix—tell him there are plenty-of them
who won’t pick a boll of cotton; that,
though they are common people, they
have bellies, even as aristocrats, and
they like to eat.
Tell him, Burnet, that a lot of little
South Carolina boys are going to feel,
the blast of wintry winds on their j
tails thru tattered and worn-out i
britches unless he helps us. They |
are common little boys of course and |
smell perhaps even worse than their
elders but their little tails are sensi-1
tive to cold, even as yours and FDR’s.
In short, Burnet, go on up there
and start pitching. Forget for the
nonce power dams and such but re-1
member that people here in the state i
we believe you love are going to suf- !
fer if help does not come to them.
You have proclaimed your interest
in the farmer. We are going to take
you at your word and vote for you.
But remember Mr. Senator, if you fall
down on us we’ll give you the devil
next summer.
Easterlin Wants More
For Aged of The State
Easterlin Appears Before Legislative
Committee at Columbia
A request for an additional million
dollar appropriation was laid before a
committee to investigate needs for
the aged', blind and dependent chil
dren Wednesday morning at Colum
bia.
F. M. Easterlin of Spartanburg,
state president of the old-age pension
association, asked for the appropria-
tion, suggesting as a means of reve
nue at 10 per cent cut in the presen c
appropriations of all existing depart
ments of state government. Excluded
from this plan would be hospitaliza
tion costs and salaries set by consti
tutional limitation.
Mr. Easterlin, appearing before
the committee at 10 a. m. yesterday,
said that if the money was raised, the
federal government would match it
with another million.
Under the plan of the organization,
no additional taxes would be imposed
on the people but over a million dol
lars realized from the cut in other de
partments, Mr. Easterlin said.
cident this week. Billy, now the ful-
fledged devil in The Sun sanctum
wanted a quarter Tuesday to, to quote
him “get his ears lowered”.
“Where the devil is that dollar I
gave you Saturday,” quoth I. “Oh,
that dollar. Well, you know Dad a
dollar don’t last long.”
I dont know what he did' with the
dollar in two day’s time. I do know
that he had money and could have
bought candy if he had wanted ft.
For that I am, thankful. I don’t want
him to be a Socialist!
FARMERS OPINION OF FARMERS
Talking with a farmer Saturday
who doubted if the tenant farmer de
served any help. He isn’t worth a
cuss anyway, according to this far
mer who held that if given more he
would be much sorrier.
That is without doubt true in many
instances, but I cannot help but look
beyond the sorry iparent to the child.
Nature, in due course, will rid the
earth of the lazy and incompetent, but
we have a duty to their children if we
are ever to raise the standard of citi
zenship. We cannot allow poverty to
turn his children into thieves and
whores. I say we cannot allow it.
Better put would be to say that we
cannot continue to allow it, as my in
formation is that some Newberry
county girls are being picked up by a
strumpet and hauled to Fort Jackson
weekly.
TUESDAY’S VOTE
Those who like to analyze election
returns can find some interesting
figures in Tuesday’s election. For in
stance, why should Chesterfield coun
ty vote for Johnston almost two to
one when he didn’t anything like ap
proach that figure elsewhere in the
state, not even in his native county
nor in his adopted county? Chester
field is rural almost entirely, but
there are a number of rural counties
in the state. Whry did he not carry
Lee, for instance, by the same ma
jority, if we assume the rural vote
to be partial to Johnston?
Again, why did he carry mill boxes
in Newberry and Laurens, and Lan
caster and Chester, by large mapori-
tdes, and lose by equally large maj
orities mill boxes nearer his home?
Further noodle-scratching might
be employed in doping out why Lit
tle Mountain voted so lustily for Bry
son when no other precinct in the
county did'. And those 16 or 18 votes
he got in traditionally wet Peak. Has
Peak climbed on the wagon ?
Votes in the counties noted in the
dlaily and weekly press present some
strange contrasts in many precincts.
Certainly the voters followed no
pattern in this election.
Maybe it’s the weather, or the war,
or even the New Deal!
ANTIDOTE FOR SOCIALISM
I am a socialist at heart. I was
reared as poor as any kid ever was
and I’m still mad about it, and I al
ways will be. I have a couple of dol
lars now, but that don't compensate
for the saliva that trickled down my
throat as a kid when I watched other
kids in the town drug store eating
ice cream and store candy while I
sucked pensively at a dirty thumb.
Nothing I have now, or will ever have,
will repay me for having to wear
Jeans britches while other boys wore
Knickerbockers with room in them
to put their hands while mine hardly
covered all that should be covered.
Fame, nor riches, nor any other crea
ture will ever erase from my mind
the times I crammed my feet under
the chair when I went out for a lit
tle sparking to keep my girl from
glaring at my brass-tipped shoes.
So much as a prelude to an in-
BANK CASE SETTLED
A compromise has been reached
between Eugene S. Blease, repre
senting the stockholders of the de
funct Exchange bank and the coun
ty legislative delegation, affecting
the office building known as the Ex
change bank building. Details of the
compromise could not be readily
learned but the building now belongs,
lock, stock and barrel to Newberry
county. Some 20-odd thousands of
dollars had accumulated from rents
since the matter has been in litiga
tion. This large amount accumulated
on account of not being able to make
much needed repairs on the building,
the rents being held in escrow. The
case arose when the county bought
the building in for secured deposits
in the Exchange bank. Stockholders
retained Judge Blease to contest the
sale on grounds that officers of the
bank acted illegally when they pledg
ed the structure for county deposits
without first obtaining the consent of
the bank directorate. Rents hereto
fore collected by the treasurer's of
fice will in the future be collected by
Frank Sanders, clerk of the county
board of commissioners. If you have
about $55,000 ini loose change around
and need a good building, you can get
up a deal with the county delegation.
The building fully rented would
yield about $8,000 per annum. Taxes
should not be over $1,500, conse
quently it is a nice investment for
some plutocrat like Jimmie Johnson.
Boys Are Well Fed
In Uncle Sam’s Army
Much has been made in these stren
uous times of the new weapons of de
fense and offense. There has been
little written about one of the hard
est, most important, and most fascin
ating jobs in this defense effort of
ours.
Few words of praise have been said
of the task of clothing and feeding the
men, furnishing transportation, gaso
line and routings for the army—the
“house-keeping” of our all-out effort.
This job is that of the Quartermaa.
ter Corps of the Army.
In the current maneuvers in Louis
iana between the Second and Third
Armies, the Quartermaster of the
Fourth Corps Area has the gigantic
duty of supplying the 303,000 men
of the Third Army with subsitenee,
clothing, and the gasoline needed for
the mechanized Army.
The amounts of food that will be
consumed in these maneuvers is stu
pendous. Enough coffee will be drunk
to float at 20,000 ton ship. A freight
train two and one-half miles long
would be necessary to carry the 6,-
696,300 pounds of beef the boys will
eat.
If all the frankfurters to be con
sumed were laid end to end, they
would reach from Norfolk, Va., to
New Orleans and have enough left
over to encircle both cities.
One hundred and six.,/ three thous-
i and hogs will lay down their lives for
I Uncle Sam to keep the men of the
| Third Army supplied with hog for
the coming maneuvers. The rest of
| the animal will be utilized, in sausage,
hot-dogs, salt pork, and the like.
It would take a champion, egg-a-
day hen 100,000 years to lay enough
eggs to supply the boys with break
fasts.
Quantities of some of the items of
food to be consumed by the Third
Army on maneuvers are astronomical:
Potatoes, 8,756,700 pounds.
Oranges, 13,680.
Evaporated milk, 2,478,540 14 1-2
oz. cans.
Fresh eggs, 2,498,991 dozen.
Coffee, 2,060,400 pounds.
Butter, 1,624,080 pounds.
Bread, 11,271,600 pounds.
Apples, 10,852,550.
Sugar, 2,402,790 pounds.
In fact, half the people in
United States could sit down
make a meal of what the Third Army
will consume in the sixty days of the
maneuvers.
The job done by the Quartermaster
is the closest and at the same time the
least conspicuous to the average sol
dier. As one old-timer aptly put it:
“Withini three hours after a recruit
is sworn in, the Quartermaster pro
vides his first meal; within ten hours,
his first army bed; within twenty-four
hours, his first transportation, and
within three days, his first uniform.
Thereafter, whenever he serves, from
the fogs of Newfoundland to Zam
boanga’s vales, the Quartermaster
meets his every demand. When his
left sleeve is like a barber pole with
ten enlistment stripes won under sun
and winter blasts and he turns from
his last parade to retirement, the
Quartermaster moves him family
home. After the gray-headed citi
zen soldier has answered his last roll
call, the Quartermaster provides a
military funeral with burial in a na
tional cemetery, a soldier’s head-
stone.and keeps his grave green for
ever after."
With the enormity of the task the
Quartermaster will do in the coming
maneuvers let’s not forget, when the
story of the maneuvers is being told,
that the backbone of the Army is the
Quartermaster Corps. Without food
a soldier can’t fight and without gaso
line a tank can’t run. The man who
does these jobs is the Quartermaster.
MAYBANK LEADS
IN THIS COUNTY
About the only spirit shown in the
primary here Tuesday, If indeed that
could be called a display of spirit, oc-
cured when the Blast Riverside box
cast all its 10 votes for Maybank. In
terest was at a low ebb. In at least
one instance the manager of a town
box hailed a few passing voters and
asked them to come in and vote but
they declined the invitation.
Newberry county mills remained
loyal to Johnston, giving him 460
against 296 for both his opponents
Mollohon went overwhelmingly for
the former governor, giving him 218
votes against 53 for Maybank and 1
for Bryson.
Maybank ran well in the rural part
of the county, and easily carried the
up-town boxes.
A second primary will be necessary
to nominate and it will be held Tues
day, September 16th. The same man.
agers will act in so far as possible.
NATION-WIDE UNASSEMBLED

SECOND PRIMARY
SEPTEMBER 16TH
Columbia, Sept. 2.—Governor Bur
net R. Maybank stepped out in front
of his two opponents with a big lead
in today’s special Democratic sena
torial primary, but lacked a few
thousand votes in the latest returns
of having the majority necessary to
give him the nomination.
•With 1,352 of the state’s 1,523 pre
cincts tabulated, the 42-year-old
Charleston business man had 56,795
votes. He was more than 18,000 votes
ahead of former Governor OUn D.
Johnston, Spartanburg lawyer, who
had 38,392. Representative Joseph R.
Bryson, Greenville lawyer, was far
back of the leaders with 29,826.
Boxes Widely Scattered
The 171 unreported precincts were
widely scattered throughout the
state, and it was, therefore, impos
sible to speculate upon their probable
bearing upon the final standing.
The second primary, which ap
parently is necessary, will be held two
weeks from today, and the election,
purely perfunctory in this almost
solidly democratic state, Sptember
30.
The winner, who will be the fourth
man to occupy the jaat this year, will,
take office about October 15. He will I
replace Senator Roger C. Peace,
Greenville publisher, now serving by i
appointment of Governor Maybank, I
and serve until January, 1943.
Peace was named to succeed Sen
ator Alva M. Lumpkin, who died
shortly after Maybank had appointed
him to the office vacated by Associate
Justice Jaimes F- Byrnes upon his
appointment to the U. S. supreme
court two months ago.
Strong in Low Country
Maybank, member of an old and
wealthy Charleston family and for
mer mayor of his home city, showed
his greatest strength generally in
central and lower South Carolina, al-

DOUBLE-HEADER AT JOLLY ST.
Saturday, September 6th, Batesburg
will meet Jolly Street in a double-
header game on the Streeters dia
mond.
Jolly Street lost a heart-breaking
game to Prosperity Saturday, 5-4,
while Batesburg trimmed Chapin to
the tune of 12 - 0.
Saturday’s game with Batesburg, to
be played on the Jolly Street diamond
will begin at 3:00 p. m. (DST).
Batesburg needs only one victory to
cop the second half of the league.

ning of .Sumter.
Prediction bad been made that the
vote might reach 150,000. More than
350,000 persons were eligible to vote.
One Box Not Called For
In at least one instance interest
was so low, that the ballot box was
not sent our from the county seat.
That was reported in Fairfield.
The primary climaxed a speaking
campaign in which the three candi
dates spoke once in each of the state’s
14 judicial circuits instead of in each
of the 46 county seats, a custom Ben
Tillman’s time.
The campaign itinerary was cut
short because of limited amount of
thne allowed by law from Byrnes’
resignation to governor’s calling of
general election. The statute said
the general election must be called
within 90 days after vacancy occurs.
When the primary election was decid
ed upon, there was only a short time
in which to hold it before the general
election, which was set for Septem
ber 30. This was almost the last date
it can be held within law.

Mr. Hawkins has been a lifelong
resident of Newberry county. He was
connected with Sdhumpert Roller mill
for many years and at the thne of hie
death held a position with the Far
mers OH mill.
He was a member of the Ebenezer
Methodist church having joined when
he was a boy. He was a steward in the

30 YEARS AGO
The supervisor is doing some good
road work on the road to Prosperity
and in a few days will have the link
from the city limits to the mile of
government road completed. This
road, if built as he is now building it
all the way to Prosperity, will be a
beautiful boulevard connecting the
two towns, and it is of vital import
ance that arrangements should be
made to relocate the road from the
Boyd crossing to Mr. J. B. Fellers’
place, about a mile this side of Pros
perity. It can be relocated so as to
avoid all railroad crossings except
that of the Southern in the city limits
of Prosperity, and, as we see it, it
would almost be criminal to build such
a road without avoiding these grade
crossings. We have called attention
to this several times, and make this
last appeal to the people along the
road as well as the people of New
berry and Prosperity before the road
is built.
Mr. B. B. Leitzsey came home from
Charleston on Saturday morning to
spend Sunday at his home in this
county. Mr. Leitzsey’s many friends
here have been very much interested
in his graphic descriptions of the ter
rific hurricane which swept Charles
ton on Sunday night, August 27, an
Mr. Leitzsey did not tire in satisfying
their initerest. Messrs. Tom, Marion,
and Will Wicker, of Newberry, who
were in Charleston the night of the
storm, came home and told that Mr
Leitzsey sang hymns while the wind
was at its height. Mr. Leitzsey says
that not only is this true, but that he
led in the singing, and all the others
in the house joined' in heartily, and
then each for himself offered as fer
vent and sincere prayers as they ever
offered in their lives.
There were about 100 bales of cot
ton sold on the market at Newberry
on Saturday. Owing to the weather,
picking and ginning have not been as
rapid as it would be. The prevailing
price on Monday, though there was
very little cotton on the market, was
11 3-4. Our Pomaria correspondent
says the merchants at Pomaria are
paying 12 cents for cotton, and that
they have decided that the Pomaria
market shall be as high as any other
market, if not higher. That is the
spirit that will keep that market up,
and if it is kept up, the cotton will go
to it.

Dr. A. H. Meredith of Augusta, Ga.

second largest number, 9, bringing
him $2,030. Total sales of the day

than any in the past ten years.
