RECREATION NEWS

Gil fares the land, to fastening
ills a prey, where wealth accumu-
lates and men decay" AS much
care and thought should be given
to deciding what to do with our free
time, as to the choice of vacation.
''The time spent in recreation at
present influences the majority of
people far more profoundly than
that spent at school or church." A
recreation project planned by the
Morgan County Emergency School
Council and financed from FERA
works division funds has been sub
mitted to the Columbus office for
approval. This program provides
for eight playground leaders super
vising Is centers for period of IL
weeks. County Supervisor III. v.
Edwards and several prospective
leaders attended four day train
ing institute at Ohio University last
week. Mr.. Edwards is planning a
training institute to be held next
week for the leaders of this county.
A high type of leadership will be Sc
lected and trained. The recreation
program includes adult games, a
softball league, baseball, volley ball
tennis, horseshoes, community night
programs, clubs, story telling, dra-
matics, pageants, music, community
singing, folk dancing, gymnastics
track and field events, children s
games, handicraft, hobbies, nature
study trips, swimming, croquet, and
tournaments of various types. The
participants will be divided into
four different age groups, so that
the midgats, juniors, seniors, and
adults will find something of inter
est for them in competition with
others of their age. Mr.. Edwards
is anticipating the approval of the
project this week, so that the pro-
gram can be started next week.
More detailed information may be
obtained from Mr.. Edwards at the
Morgan county relief office.-XX.

SUSPENDED SENTENCES

The suspended sentence, has been badly abused
bv aw-breakers of this county and doubtless
throughout the state where it has been put into
praetice. The average criminal who is given a sus-
pended sentence as rule relies upon the foreet1u-
moss of the Judge and the solicitor, smugy accepts
the condition of his suspended judgment, and goes
away from the court to do about as he pleases
But the courts do not always forget and some
times men under suspended judgment are faced
with the reality that this type Of justice is real ana
stern. "A citizen in this county few months ago
was tried and convicted of violating the prohlol-
ton laws, and he was given road sentence "t
two years, suspended upon the condition that ne
refrain from the use of liquor for that period OF
time Twice since his trial he has been hailed into
court The first time there was some doubt about
his conduct and the matter not pushed he
was again brought to court this week and this time
the evidence was clear and convincing, and Judge
Aycock calmly committed him to the terms of his
suspended judgment. Then for the first time the
man realized that he was facing two-year SEN
tence on the county roads He gave notice of an
appeal but under the law his appeal will avail
him nothing, as Immediately upon the case reaching
the Superior court it will be remanded to the Re-
corders court for execution.
Suspended judgments are often trtled with, but
every now and then their force is felt: If they
were followed up with diligence than is usual
" exercised they would undoubtedly be an efficient
means of keeping the peace.-Smithtield Herald

MISREPRESENTATION IN CONGRESS

The Charlotte Observer, very friendly t.
the Washington administration, but too
honest to swallow and approve everything
that is going on up there, has this to say
about the way the country is being misrep
resented in Congress:
The public is told by the Associated Press that
IAN actual majority of the House members OPP
posed the Wagner Labor Disputes bill which was
passed without roll call.
And the Associated Press is not given to guess
ing or specializing. 1t must have known what It
was talking about when this was sent over the
wires.
Being accepted, therefore, as an accurate
statement of fact, the information nauseates
=, When it is analysed, it makes one almost shud-
der in contemplation of such surrender to ex-
pediency on the part of those who are elected
to make the nations laws by the people and
elected to fairly, faithfully represent ALL THE
PEOPLE
The statement simply connotes that Congress
men knew this was bad measure and should not
be passed but supinely sat silently by while lts
advocates were permitted to rush 1t through
without roll call which would have put mem
bers of the body on record.
What this lacks of being misrepresentation III
Congress is not enough to make point about.
The foregoing criticism is mild, and 1t /:
certain that much stronger criticism is mer
tied by Congress. What shall we say Of
men elected by the people of this country
to represent all classes and to make theil
first consideration the country's welfare
who deliberately vote for, measures thej
do not approve simply because that cours'
puts them in line with the program of TIN
President, but out of line with the platfor!i
on which he and they were elected9 ~
No Congressman included in the case re
ferred to by the Charlotte Observer Shouts
be reelected.
The country is going to find it absolutel
necessary to send men of character, eour
age and honesty of purpose to Washing
ton, if the interests of the country are {
be conserved and the American system o
government is to be perpetuated! Can
be said that Congressman meet these re
quirements when they vote for bill afte
bill which they condemn, simply becaus'
they are playing politics?

NEWSPAPERS RS o OPINION :
WHAT ARE THESE AMONG so MANY?

The point that is being made by the President
that his taxation scheme upon the rich inhertanees
is, TO be commended because it viii be applied to
the cancellation of the national debt is not i'm
pressiye.
AT best such policy of taxation as he is recon-
mendng could hardly be expected to produce more
than two three hundred millions and that is no
more than a drop in the bucket compared to the
: billions that are being spent and added to the OBJ
! legations of the future.
In 1888 taxes were paid on 1913 estates valued at
. more than million each and these produced only
700 in revenues, the net wort. of all them
J. being s2ss,O0O.OOO.
3 As the Greenyille News pointedly remarks, IF
: the government had actually seized the whole Of
all these estates Of million dollars it would
have got only 1855 100000 more than it did, And
in the year. there were just 46 persons with
taxable incomes of over million; and if the gov
eernment had taken the entire taxable income oi
these citizens it would have got only $4,000 00C
NOR ethan it did. And to the increased taxes
the incomes of big corporations, the proposition
here is also to reduce the tax rate on the smalle,
corporations, the chief idea being to penalizs big
tness." The total revenue received would not b.
very greatly inereased-on 1892 corporate incomes
for instance, the increase, it is calculated would
have bseR about $40 900 e0eS Charlotte Observer

POLITICAL CORRUPTION

-
The Brookings Institute, an organization for the
survey and study of POLITICAL, social and industrial
conditions said recently regarding the Agricultural
Adjustment Administration: sytitf.~ Ia. 'r.n..'
while the AAA has striyen in the main with
considerable, success to prevent political influence
from determining its wheat program, there is q
tendency for the spread of sinister form of po-
htical corruption which even its benehciaries do
not recognize SUCH ,:.' ''.r '.'.''' ''H, 49, .'
Which means plainly that the money which
American farmers have been receiving on their
various adjustment contracts with the government
has influenced and determined the way they have
voted on the question of continuing the various
adjustment programs. 81 ~'-''t.''.
The AAA administration did not so intend it.
The farmers were' perhaps EttIe conscious of l..
But the money which the United States govern
ment is doing out is a subtle sort of bride to the
men who are receiving it. i
There's nothing new in this. =
1t has been so always, with allsgoyernments' ~
all time. ,s ~ %rSt..
The distribution of government funds, when the
recipient receives something for@ nothing, cannot
fail to be "a sinister form of political corruption,
and especially so because the ibenehciaries may not
recognize it as such.-Rock Hill, S. G., Herald,

and helpless Confederate soldier born in South

The future of the United States, especially the
future of South Carolina, turns upon "the spirit OF
