Bi ble; Dr. Smith, English; Dr. Nelson, Education; Dr. Chappel, Social Sciences; Prof. Gaver, Mathematics; Prof. Park, Natural Sciences; Pi-of. Epting, Modem Languages; Prof. Moore, Voice; Prof. Feld, Violin. John Erickson, Rotarian and Prof essor of piano, introduced the facul ty members and called on them to make brief talks in order to acquaint the Rotarians with the work that is being done at Newberry college. At the conclusion of these talks, which were snappy and full of in formation, all members of the Rotary club felt that they were much closer in spirit to Newberry college. Several of the members of the faculty were so loosened up by the- fellowship and spirit of goodwill that pervaded the meeting that they brought out sev eral of their pet jokes and left their hearers rolling in the aisles with mer riment. For the third successive meeting the Rotary club has had a 100% at tendance. Payment For Small Farmer Recommended AGAINST THE PLUTOCRAT (From the Walterboro Press and Standard) Not yet has any “leader” or news paper in South Carolina except The News & Courier, proposed that the primary system be changed so that a man or woman in moderate circuim- stances. or poor can enter a state wide contest. The News and Courier opposes the existing plutocrat system. The Press and Standard has de cided against such excessive assess ments for the privilege of offering for public office in South Carolina. These entrance fees have become so great in almost every county in South Carolina, that it is impossible for a poor man, however worthy, to think of becoming a candidate. Why, even in Charleston county, we understand that it costs a candidate $2,000 for the privilege of entering the race for sheriff, and almost as much for some of the other county offices. The en trance fee for state and district offi ces is so great that only “plutocrats” can enter races for these offices. The result is that the government, in even the smallest political unit, has been turned over to the wealthy or the well-to-do. A poor, honest, deserving and capable man cannot afford to be come a candidate. Another condition has become com mon, also, which is a further deter rent for any but the wealthy to be come candidates. That is the cost of a campaign. One need not “buy" votes to make a campaign expensive. There are demands for pay to “haul” voters to the polls, and believe it or not, many voters engage in a sit- down strike the day of election, and will not budge to go to the polls till some “hauler” comes along and off ers an automobile ride to the polls and back. Then there are advertising, circulars, letters to all the voters, workers at the polls, etc., etc., which will eat into the bank roll of even a wealthy candidate. High entrance fees exist only in boss-ridden counties such as Charles ton and Barnwell. Here in demo cratic Newberry the poor and 1 the plute pay the same low fee, and har mony hereabouts on election years is actually rampant. The democratic spirit is all-prevailing here in old Newberry for everyone has a fair chance to get to the trough. Here in Newberry you can run for the house and get to be a judge, all for $25! or, for $75 and enough votes you may become high sheriff. No candidate in Newberry ever has to pay more than $75 to run for office and in most offices the fees are much less than that.

Ruff, who has been a patient in the Columbia hospital for three weeks, remains about the same. Recommendation of a special pari-, ty payment to farmers who planted cotton and tobacco in 1941 and who| produce less than 50 per cent of their 1941 marketing quotas was' made by tuie state agricultural plan ning committee at its regular meet ing in Columbia Tuesday. The following report on the meet ing made by the committee secretary, D. W. Watkins: “As a result of unfavorable weath er conditions and unusually heavy boll weevil damage, a large percen tage of South Carolina farmers have suffered a disastrous failure of their cotton crop in 1941, and face the prospect of the shortest cotton crop in over 50 years. “Many tobacco farmers have also as a result of weather conditions suf fered heavy losses in their tobacco yields. “In addition, these unfavorable con. ditions have prevented large numbers of farmers from producing food and feed in sufficient quantities to carry them through the winter. “The estimated 1941 yield of lint cotton in South Carolina is 165 pounds per acre, and the past five- year average yield of 300 pounds per acre. However, in the face of this estimated 1941 yield of 165 pounds of lint per acre, there are thousands of South Carolina farmers who have suffered a complete loss of their cot ton crop, and many more thousands of farmers who will ’.^rvest all the way from below 50 r r cent of a nor mal crop down to practically nothing, j “This disastrous situation, when considered in the light of the rising prices farmers are having to pay for the things they buy, is bound to res. ult in hardship and malnutrition for large numbers of farm people thru- out the state. Thousands of substan tial farmers face backruptcy and ruin, and many small farmers, ten ants, and sharecroppers and wage hands will endure untold human suf fering unless some form of aid can be extended to partly compensate for this loss of income. . • “In addition, this lose of .income will cause many farm families to be unable to participate in the 1942 na tionwide agricultural program for the production of farm commodities vital to national defense and welfare because of their inability to seed and fertilize needed crops and expand, or in many cases even maintain their present production of poultry, dairy and livestock products. “In view of the fact that there was crop insurance on wheat in 1941, but not on cotton, it is only fair to cot ton farmers that some help be made available to them in this emergency.: “It is therefore recommended that a special parity payment be made to those farmers who planted cotton or tobacco in 1941, and who produce less than 50 per cent of their 1941 market ing quotas of cotton or tobacco such payment, in the case of each fanner entitled to it, to be at parity price on that poundage equal to the difference between his 1941 production and 50 per cent of his 1941 marketing quota. “It is realized that the above rec ommendation will not fully compen sate farmers for their reduced income and since this loss of income will greatly reduce the farmer’s ability to provide sufficient food and feed for his family and livestock, and, thus, retard the national defense program, it is further recommended that sur plus wheat be distributed to farm families who have gross incomes of less than $500 in 1941.” through the various county AAA of fices to date amount to $3,768,935 and tobacco parity payments paid to date amount to $264,536. the acreage allotment this year aaul- tiplied by the five-year average cot ton yield.

FARMERS WILL RECEIVE 17 MILLION DOLLARS South Carolina farmers will re ceive approximately $17,000,000 in government payments through the agricultural adjustment adminlstra. tion this year, R. W. Hamilton, state AAA director announced. Mr. Hamilton pointed out that $4,- 015,401 had been paid, to cotton and tobacco growers and explained that the rest of the total payment would be made this year. I “In view of the disastrous crop sit uation in South Carolina, the agri cultural adjustment administration is making every effort to expedite cotton and tobacco payments to far mers,” he said. “Immediately after November 30 agricultural conservation payments of the AAA program will be made as rapidly as possible,” he explained. The director said that “all pay ments to farmers permissible under the terms of the act of congress, providing for the payments, will be made. The limitations and restric-1 tions of the act prevent any addition al payments due to crop disaster. However, crop disaster will not cause any decrease in the 1941 payments.” Cotton farmers will receive approx, imately $5,000,000 in parity pay ments and tobacco growers will get about $500,000 in parity payments. Under the conservation program the farmers will share between $11,000,- 000 and $12,000,000 to be paid begin ning the first of December. The rate of parity payment oh tot. ton is 1.38 cents per pound based on . Congratulations! WELLS THEATRE ON YOUR FORMAL OPENING Monday, October 13th - C..D. COLEMAN CO.
