POISON PEN THE BIG NOISE
We Understand

A plea for teeth" in the trans
portation act, giving the railroad
labor board power to inflict pen
alties for violations of it's deci-
sions, was made here Monday by
Ben w. Hooper. vice chairman of
the board and former governor of
Tennessee, in a speech before the
twenty-third annual meeting of
the National Civic Federation.
This power is needed "a hun
dred-fold more on account of the
carriers than on account of the
employees" Mr.. Hooper declared.
80 far there have been practi-
cally no violations OF the boards
decisions by employees" he said.
The instances in which carriers
have ignored and fiouted the de-
cisions of the board are too nu-
merous to mention.
"A carrier may refuse to re-
store to the service. an employe
wrongfully discharged, or may re-
duce wages without authority, or
may ignore working rule duly
promulgated by the board. The
employees are absolutely helpless
and their only remedy is the
doubtful one of the strike. Then
they receive the condemnation OF
the public for interrupting traffic,
when, as matter of fact, the car
rier is responsible for the trouble
IF congress would confer upon
the railroad labor board power to
enforce its decisions, there is not
a railroad in the United States
that would not be brought into
prompt compliance with the rul-
ings of the board.
1.-The transportation act will
never be repealed. 1t has pre-
vented railroad strikes for nearly !
two years. 1t has settled 1,222
disputes of all sorts. The country
will never go back to a system |
that has no tribunal of any char
acter for the adjustment of rail
road labor disputes"
Referring to the proposal of |
functions of the rail
road labor board to the interstate |
commerce commission, Mr.. Hoo
per said that propaganda Ito the
effect that rates and wages would |
be fixed by the same body is falla-
cious."
Wages cannot be made con-
tingent on rates" he said. THE
ability of the carrier to pay cam
not be treated as a primary con-
in fixing wages. Neces-
sary considerations include the |
cost of living, hazards of employ
ment, training and skill required,
degree of responsibility and the
~ "a ri " 20
Demand that the United States
railroad labor board be abolished /
was made by Glenn e. Plumb,
speaking as representative of Il.
NJ. Jewell, president of the Rail
way Employees department, Amer
lean Federation of Labor.
1--WE believe the board should
never have been established, that
it is unscientific in principle, un-
economic in theory and imprac-
ticabile in operation" declared
Plumb.
"The principle Of giving to the
railroad labor board the authority /
to decide the future destinies of
2, 100000 railway workers and
those dependent upon them, is un-
sound and unworkable. 1t places
the lives and fortunes of these men
at the disposition of a human
Judgment which is unskilled and
inexperienced and unjustified.
The board should be abolished"
Industrial warfare will be stop
ped, according to Plumb, only
when the railroad corporations ad-
Just more equitably income and
wages paid employees.

CORUNNA TOSSERS
LOSE To HOLLY

CORUNNA, Feb. 3.-The ride
from Corunna to Holly was all too
quickly passed and our sad finish
began. The games were not so bad
it was the score. The girls were
overwhelmed in the first half, but
in spite of the hard luck, retained
their fighting spirit to the last,
when the score stood 22-1O.
The boys were badly beaten, the
first half the score standing 20 to
in favor of Holly. Holly has a
fine team and plays fast, snappy
ball, basket from any place on
the floor being easy for them. The
second half was not so bad as the
first, but by putting the two halves
together you find final score of
&C to 16 in favor of Holly.

WORDS OF WISE MEN

Remember your failures are but
your stepping stones to success.
Fiction has a higher aim than fact
1t is the possible when compared with
the merely positive.
An able man shows the spirit by
gentle words and resolute actions. de
is neither hot nor tlmid.
Under all the false and overloaded
and glItterlng masquerade there Is In
every man a noble nature.
The art Of using moderate abilities
to advantage often acquires more rep
utation than real brilliancy:
The great end Of the modern, civ
Illzed war Is to reach state OF peace
In the soonest possible time.
Every experience that we live
through will lead on to a lower or
higher experience, as we choose.
DO not weaken and distract yourself
looking forward to things you cannot
see and could not understand If you
saw.
You may salute man and exchange
compliments daily yet know nothing OF
his character, his inmost tastes and
feelings.
Love labor, If you do not want 1t
for food you may for physlc. 1t is
wholesome for the body and good for
the mind.
If there is any one quality Of the
mind in which the really great have
conspired, as it were, to surpass other
men, 1t is moral courage.
History is never hysterical, never
proceeds by catastrophes and cata-
clysms, and it is only by remembering
this that we can comprehend its high
er meaning.

WHAT IS YOUR MONEY WORTH

Money as a purchasing agent,
means 100 cents to dollar. Bat
the greatest spending value OF
money is in what it will buy ju-
dicioasly. Money value and econo-
my are often mistaken for the same
thing. A wooden house costs about
two thirds of the price of a brick
one, but it is economy to put more
money in the more substantial
building.
So it is with the purchase of the
commodities of every day use. A
shoe with hole in it will destroy
more hose than II new pair or
half sole will cost. So it is an
economy to spend money for the
new shoes.
Your local merchant carries two
or three grades Of almost every
staple article and the close observ-
er can easily see that the best value
for your money lies not in price
but in service.
The practice of sending money
away from home for articles to
save what may seem a substantial
reduction from the local merchants
price is often q waste OF money
Your local merchants offers you a.
choice of several grades and almost
inevitably stands ready to adjust
any shortcomings the articles may
later be found to have. His success
depends upon your future pat
ropage. The local merchant uses
his long established business as an
asset. The mail order house does
not care about their past perform.
ance, for some often change their
names every year. Some people
though, are like the fish that tries
every hook on the stream.
If all the members employed in
the building trades in this section
sent their money off for goods that
they could buy at home, how long
would they be able to find remun-
erative employment?
BY patronizing local merchants
and home industries you are using
the only method of keeping pros
perity in your community. The
economy of money value lies IN the
good yon receive not only directly |
hut indirectly from what you spend.
One Of the truest notices ever
posted in a thriving town reads:
Remember, you get just exactly
what you pay for" Whether gro.
ceries, hardware, lumber or bricks,
you do not find anyone selling an
article for less than it cost.
You would be afraid to eat steak
that some man was selling for 10
cents pound when you knew that
every other merchant in town had
to charge 25 cents to make a living
profit.
Think it over. Every dollar you
spend at home gives you a golden
opportunity to get that same dollar

PICKUPS

A success is a man who has
gone little way but is anxious
to 60 further.
Few men az preciate the Joy
Of having work to do until they
get out Of job.
The man who Is always look
ing for a little the best Of it US
ually picks up much the worst

think you are i.oing to get.

AN INSPIRING STORY OF A
COUNTRY BANK

The Herald the other day. print
ed at some length the inspiring
story of what one country bank in
Georgia did for the farmers Of its
county and for the business inter-
ests OF its town during the past
year. Briefly this was its contri-
button to its community's progress
and welfare:
/. Distributed $50 settings of
pure bred eggs, in order to stan
dardize the raising Of poultry in
its county.
2. Furnished best grade Of sweet
potato slips to every farmer who
wanted them, furnished crates for
shipping these potatoes when
grown, built a curing house, and
helped in the marketing. 1t IN
creased sweet potato production in
its county from 5000 bushels to
$4,000 bushels, and the crop was
sold for an average Of 80 cents a
bushel, most of it going to the
West.
3. Furnished best types OF cots
ton seed for planting under boil
weevil conditions, and also furnish
ed the money for farmers to buy
calcium arsenate. 1t is estimated
that four-fifths of the cotton raised
in Campbell county this year was
raised under the above conditions
and with the help Of this country
bank. About 500 bales were raised
and many farmers were thus taught
how to successfully fight the boil
weevil during the coming year.
A. This country bank also en-
couraged in every way the raising
of hogs, cattle, dairying and the
cultivation OF berries, blackberries,
and raspberries.
AS result of the help and en-
enlargement of this country bank,
there are 400 farmers in its county
who have corn in the crib, meat
in the smokehouse, quantities of
chickens and eggs, a nice herd OF
dairy cattle started and plenty Of
hay and other roughage.
No more inspiring contribution
to the caurs of prosperity for the
farms of the south has been made
than that of Mr.. G. X. Harvey,
President of the Bank of Campbell
County at Fairburn, Ga. Doubt
less there are many other country
banks that are pioneering the way
in their counties along the lines of |
the Bank of Campbell County |
throughout Georgia and South
Carolina. We have an idea that
the Bank of Barnwell has done
good work along these lines, and
there are doubtless many. many
others. II so. they should not hide
their light under bushel. A con-
seryative statement Of what the
country banks of this section are
doing to bring about prosperity for
the farms of the South would be
an inspiration tosall our people.
