mlseryl Surely the sQuatters had suf-
fered in the past yearl Many q boy
had been taken from his home and
sent to France, and many a mother
had crept about the settlement with
grief-wOrn face, waiting for news from
over the sea.
Pollyop understood what war meant.
The squatters were always at war |
Granny Hope had explained to her
that, whenever people fought and were
cruel to one another, that was war.
Hadn't she warred but two nights ago
with Oscar Bennett1
She had not seen him since, and the
pain and humiliation he had dealt her
had been lightened by Granny Hopes
assurances that love was the leveler
Of hate. So Polly, having quantities
Of love and sympathy to spare, sent 1t
broadcast over the hopeless ones In
the settlement and promptly put Os-
car Benefits cruelty out of her mind.
She did not even remember sometimes
how much the milk Oscar had be-
grudglngly given her was missed in
the shack. To Offset that deprivation,
she was free from him and the ugly
quarrels she had had to settle almost
daily between him and Evelyn.
This morning, while Daddy Hopkins
was in Ithaca, Pollyop started out
with her many loves for a walk. On
her shoulder perched Wee Jerry; at
her side, In stately dignity, stalked the
billy goat, and tied to one Of her arms
by a small rope gamboled Mamie
Lamb Hopkins.
Through the Silent City she wan
dered, helping people here and there
to see the sunny side Of things. Be-
yond the row Of shacks was the fence
Marcus Mackenzie had erected to
keep the sQuatters from trespassiug
on his woodland, and in front of 1t
Polly Hopkins stood. A bill poster
had passed and left on the fence pic
ture that caught her attention.
II was a beautiful woman, her eyes
saddened with tears, and she looked
straight out Of exquisite coloring at
the wide-eyed sQuatter girl. In her
arms was a withered, sick, little man,
and POllyop knew that somewhere over
the ocean an enemy, perhaps man
like Old Marc, had hurt him. The
woman held him close as she looked
at Polly, and for moment the girls
eyes stung with tears. Then she went

Yesterday We published a letter
from Mr. II. NJ. Toney in which the
editor was asked to tell him how the
salary Of the boil weevil advisor was
10 be paid, and how much? The coun-
~ delegation appointed Mr.. Browning
70 the position and agreed that his
salary would be $500 year, Mr.
Browning to furnish his own trans
portation and expenses. We are not
now concerned in the matter Of argu-
ing pro and con as to Mr.. Browning 5
appointment. The delegation has as
sumed that responsibility and each
member is amcnabie TO the citizens of
Union County. But this one outstand-
ing fact Stares us in the face: Union
County is face to face with a real
crisis in the boil weevil menace. True,
as Mr.. Toncy says, The Times and
Mr.. Wood, to say nothing of other
agents and agencies, have been pass
ing on the information given out by
the government. But we are willing,
for our part, to have an additional
agent, even a paid agent. Such an
agent, specifically working upon the
matter of boil wecvil control, may be
worth his weight in gold in a crisis
such as that which faces US. We do
not feel inclined to crock the boat" in
this hour Of danger. The question Of
Mr. Browning's appointment, or that
Of any other man, is incidental. The
great question that faces US Is how to
meet the boil weevil? Mr.. Browning

THURSDAY, JANUARY 10, 1922.

The bill introduced in the house by
Representative Hamblin of Union and
Representative II. B. Hendricks of
Anderson, known as "the as hour
bill," would make it unlawful for any
textile industry, whether Incorporated
O. otherwise, TO require more than
as hours work per week." and which
would limit the working day to nine
hours, like all class legislation, is a
vicious piece of business, in our hum
bic Judgment. There are already too
many laws, arbitrary and subversive
Of the spirit of free action. Even
should the bill be good in most points,
which it is not, it should provide a
penalty for the man attempting to
work more than a stated number Of
hours as we'll as for the employer who
attempts TO compel work for 4 longer
period than eight hours. Why should
there be law against mill workers
or, for that matter, any workers, on
the farm, in the store or anywhere
else, making it crime against the
state for q worker to exceed the limit
Of eight hours? Will the next move
bc one that will make it a crime for
a farmer 10 work more than eight
hours in any given day? Will the
law be expanded so as to apply tc
stenographers and all others doing Of
flee work? Why not? One is as, jas
t!tiable as is the other. Will the work
ingman be really helped? We 10 rot
see how.
We do not oppose the eight hou@
day. One can do better work, hold up
better in the prosecution of that wo: K
and, We believe. get better results by
the eight hour work day than by one
greatly heightened. Industrial plants
and men conducting enterprises gem
orally are coming to realize this.
There is gradually coming about, by
mutual consent. the establishment of
the eight hour work day. Why seek
to force it through laws that penalize
industries? Already there are too
many handicaps to business and indus
try generally, and there is no greater
handicap, to our way Of thinking, than
a law that embodies class legislation.
We are not attempting to champion
the cause of the mill owners; we hold
no brief for them. Our sympathies
are with the working man. But why
seek to do by state law what can only
be we'll done by the operation of eco
nomc laws?
If the law is intended to help the
mill worker and we have no doubt it
is, we seriously doubt it attaining that
result II must be remembered that
If we are TO compete with European
nations with our manufactured prod
ucts, we cannot do so by shortening
the hours of labor and by laws that
make the operation of industries diff
cult. Germany is working ~ hours a
day, and Germany will soon outstrip
us in the entire field of exports.

and Mr.. Wood are visiting every sec
tion of the county. The very fact that
they are visiting the various sections
will stir up interest, serious thinking,
and will lend to helpful results. After
all is said, you are paying only Al
cents upon every thousand dollars of
the assessed valuation of your prop
erty, and for this you receive the serv-
ices of Mr.. Wood, Miss Mahala Smith
and Mr.. Browning. If you pay taxes
on farm valued at 81 900 it will cost
you Ill cents year to have all three
agents working. True, as Mr.. Tone
says, this last appointment may be
the straw that breaks the camel's
back" But We hardly think so. Any
way, now that we are going into a
critical year, we believe year Of
tremendous evolution, it may be best
to refuse turning aside from the at
tempt to solve our real problem, and
be weakened in fratrcidal fight.
This may not please you. We cannot
help it, if it does not. We are hon
estly trying to serve the best inter
ests of Union County. Taxes are
high, that we admit. We hope the
present legislature will find a way to
make the levy less heavy. But all
these are questions that may be dis
cusscd later Today and until this
years crop is made, we have need Of
all the information and of all the slim
ulous possible in our fight against the
boil weevil. Cotton can be grown un-
der boil weevil conditions, we honestly
believe. We must get all possible in
formation and then govern ourselves
accordingly. If, after Il fair trial this
year, it be found that all our agencies
and agents fail to help us, we can
then try something else or quit trying
altogether. The straw that breaks the
camel's back is not the issue Just now.
But we do not mean to condemn Mr..
Toncy. He has right to his opinions
And we say now, as we have said be
fore, The Times will give a fair hear
ilg to one and all--thosc who agree
with us and those who disagree with
us. Our only two requirements are:
You must sign your communication
IN your own name and you must not
write something that for US to publish
would lay us liable to a suit f,a. SLAM
der. You will agree, these two re-
qulrements are fair And we desire
to say further: The Times editor
really feels very humble in the whole
matter. 1t is only sincere desire to
help that actuates US. We are seek
ing no financial gains, no political hon
ors. We do crave the good will and
the friendship of all. But we put above
every other consideration our determi-
