A Scandal Brewing

One sure way of losing the
confidence of the average man
in his government is. the trad
ing or selling of Federal patron
age. 1t may be good politics to
allow the victor to take the
spoils, but when the victor per-
mits the spoils to be traded for;
sold to the highest bidder;
snapped and trafficed for, the
party in power is sure to forfeit
the confidence of the voters.
Senator Walter F. George,
according to press dispatches,
has evidenced that this sort of
practice is now taking part in
Georgia; and that the negro Re-
publican boss, Henry Lincoln
Johnson or his agents, are re-
sponsible.
The Junior Georgia Senator
has presented the situation to
the President with the request
that he act. Should the Presi-
dent FAIL Senator George says
there will be a fight all along
the line. And Senator George
is just the man to live up to his
promises.
The Republican party has
time and again expressed its
desire to break the Solid South;
to establish itself down in
Dixie. If that desire is gen
uine, the C. o. P. should first
sci e ct REPRESENTATIVE
white Republicans to manage its
affairs and distribute its patron
age down in Dixie"
There are such men in the
Georgia party and to have
placed negro national commit
teeman over them, and later
add a negress as national COM.
mitteewoman, is, to say the
least, poor politics, faulty iudg-
ment and an insult to its white
adherents.
The manner in which Repub-
lican affairs have been handled
in Georgia for the past several
years has been little short of
criminal. An impartial invest
cation may show that a really
wholesome scandal exists. And
While we are Democrats, still we
are Americans and this is OUR
government and not a lame
horse to be kicked about by a
bunch of ignorant grasping UNI
principled whites and blacks
a scandal is brewing in the

The High Cost of Poor
Farming


in every line of business now
adays to insure a degree Of &C
curacy regarding operations,
notes the Augusta Chronicle. 1t
is a notable thing that until re-
Gently but little has been done
in a definite way to acquaint
farmers with their own affairs.
The average farmer has
ben going along planting so
many acres in cotton, so many in
corn, and so many other crops
without regard to result" says
the Moultrie Observer. The
idea seems to have been just to
get something to do regardless
of the outcome"
Clemson College has issued
a booklet on farm operations
and the cost Of production in
Anderson County, South Caro-
lima, that should be in the hands
of every farmer in the South.
1t shows what is being done in
this representative agricultural
section.
A total of 33 farms were
handled in the work, which was
done in 1922, and the wide
range of output and cost con-
stitute an amazing state of af-
fairs in Southern agriculture.
The average income per farm
was 1887, of which the tenant
farmers was $500 and the own
er operators $4l4. The aver
age laborer received 1892 per
farm and the average return on
farm investments amounted to
8 per cent, which certainly was
not bad, considering everything.
1t is shown that the average
owner, or operator, expended
$277 in labor per farm. which
was charged out before profits
were figured, though $122 of
family labor was thrown in, for
good measure.
Cost of cotton production av-
eraged 20.4 cents per pound,
but the range in cost was from
8 cents to $l.16 per pound.
Corn cost an average of $l.45
per bushel, oats 81 cents per
bushel, hay $l6.77 per ton,
wheat $l.95 per bushel.
One thing that may be said of
Anderson county certainly cam
not be said of the average farm
er's family. The Clemson Col
lege booklet states that they
consumed 333 gallons of milk
or nearly a gallon day, 1876
pounds of butter, 66 dozen
eggs, SO worth of meats, IL
bushels of meal, 10 bushels of
flour. or wheat, six gallons of
syrup, u bushels of potatoes
and $40 worth of garden prod
ucts. On the whole they sure
ly were pretty well fed, besides
living in house that had an av-
erage rental value of $l92 a
year.
A striking feature of the re-
port is the fact that analysis
shows that the most profitable
crop on the land was oats, fol-
lowed by cowpeas, the two
crops being the most profitable
grown in the county. This
doubtless holds true the coun-
try over, especially the South
east.
The time will come when the
farmers will keep books on their
farming operations, make a
summary of their business at the
end of the year and start out
next season with a more intelli-
gent idea of what can be &C
complished.

A STITCH
IN TIME.

During the past month two stores
have been burglarized in Americas.
Thieves came into both of the stores
through windows in the rear. Nei-
Their of these windows had bars
across them. It proved an easy
matter for the pillagers to come in
the stores, open the doors and help
themselves.
Some have said, where was the
policeman? This is unfair, the qucs
ton of most Importance is, how did
the burglars get in? No criticism
should be heaped on the heads OF
the local police force for these two
robberies. The best thing the criti-
cizers can do, if they be merchants,
is to place heavy iron bars across
all windows in the rear of tier
stores and shut up these entrances
which are the same as Ewelcorae'
signs to the burglar

LIGHTNING

All important so-called mysteries

latest to be solved is the age-old
mystery of what's known as ball

Money collected in taxes by Uncle
Sam in four months up to Nov. l
totaled roughly 1856 milliCnd dollars.
This was over 70 millions less than
in the corresponding months of
1928. The slump was mainly due
to business depression.
With prosperity returning, 1925
should fill the peoples wallets. That
means, bigger incomes to tax. If
Congress curbs its spending, chances
are that substantial hole can be
cut in the national debt.

laws. He adds that the same is true

about new and terrible gases.
After all, modern warfare is
