WHY NICHOLS WON

(From the Newberry Observer.)
There was not much surprise when
it was announced Tuesday night thai
Sam Nichols, of Spartanburg, had
beaten "Tobe" Morgan for Congress
from the 4th district. Nichols had a
long lead on his competitor from the
first primary that every one knew
would be hard to overcome.
Nichols had popular ways. Te is a
particularly bright young man; was
9known when he was in the Legis-
llature three Years ago-not simple
Smart" but he is thinker. AS a
Nichols had popular ways. He is a
fine stump speaker, a good mixer
and has an attractive manner about
him.
1t was to be expected that he would
get the practically solid vote of the
faction with which he had been going
in politics; and in his race for Con-
gress he ignored factional lines alto
gether, and really made its campaign
on high plane and a broad one. So
far as we can recall, he did not at
tack criticize the State Administra-
tion. Very properly, he let it alone
it really had nothing to do with his
race for Congress. He came out very

up largely of Scotch-Irish and Eng

district that he has brother fighting
In the British army, who has been
severely wounded in battle.
These things were not dicussed on
the stump. but the people knew them
anyhow, and they had their influence.
In addition, Nichols father is one of
the most highly honored men in Spar
tanburg, and has been for years. The
older voters could easily recall the
time when, quite and modest as a
young man from the country, he ran
for Probate Judge and was elected
and he held the office against oppo-
sition or without opposition-mostly
without, for it was known it was nc
us to run against him-till he GOV
tired and quit. Nichols grandfather
was the late DR.. Samuel B. Jones, a
man of great ability, universally es-
teemed and honored throughout South
Carolina. The morning daily of Spar
tanburg supported Nichols heartily
So, MIR. Nichols had many things
in his favor-and he won. And
won, we hope that he will so conduct
himself in this high position as to be
an honor and blessing to the State
1t is, no disparagement to the other
members of Congress to say that, in
tellectually at least, he is the equal of
any man of that body from South
Carolina. The rest remains to be
proved

SEEING THEIR MISTAKE

A few weeks ago it was reported
that organizers were busy at An
derson, S. c., endeavoring to get up a
textile "union."
A week later there was strike in
one of the mills.
The operatives are reported to have
demanded raise in wages, approx
mating 20 per cent increase.
The mills was closed down, inde-
finitely.
thousand of dollars in wages that
would have been paid them had they
are willing to start back to work.
Petitions are now being circulated
among the operatives asking the
management to start the mills.
The help see their mistake and
ae willing to start back to work.
1t is the same old story-strikes
hurt all and help none.

there are hundreds of middling and

You can see what chance there is of
another good one there; perhaps one

Bad paint is dearest; middling is

became effective under an agreement
between the interstate commerce com
mission and the larger express com
panies, with the understanding that the
rates were to continue in force for
two years as a test of the contention
of the express companies that their
business could not be conducted prop
erly on this basis.
Some months ago, the express com
panies submitted figures for the first
10 months business under this sched-
uIe, showing an actual decrease in
gross earnings Of nearly $12,00O,0 900.
OF this, the proportion of the de-
creased revenue which was lost to the
railroad companies amounted to So
800 ,54634, leaving a decrease in the
treasures of the express companies of
$3.50, 1928. Allowing for curtail-
ment in the cost Of. operation and
other emergency methods, there was an
actual net loss to the express com
panies Of $2,760,S041S. After an in
vestigation, the interstate commerce
commission has modified the basis OF
rates previously given to the com
panies and authorized a general in
crease in rates on smaller parcels.
