The only known cause is that one of the professors is said to have written an article in which he flayed certain ministers for praying for better weather.

The tax commission Which met lately In Greenville, presided over impartially, was restricted in its mission to the bringing about an upward equalization of taxes, In order to meet past indebtedness and a present deficiency. Its powers were too narrow. One of the farmers present at the meeting said he had not made a clear dollar since 1920.

And outside of the meeting a farmer with a good plantation said he would not accept another farm as a free gift. Another ex-farmer living in the city expressed the same low satisfied with them, but as lor me, And never since have clouds been half so white, And never since has life seemed half so sweet; Stars do not shine as stars then shone at night give me The Greenville News every time.

Many men who do not care two straws who is governor of Mississippi will view this development with intense interest. It indicates there Is a possibility that Southern Democratic leaders, after all, may not be compelled to answer the question that has been giving them so much trouble, namely: How can a vote for Al be made to seem a vote for the Anti-Saloon league also?

And the present year, it seems, will prolong the agony in both re I building highways, the obligations to be retired exclusively out of gasoline and motor vehicle taxes. South Carolina has not been content to wait eighteen years for the slo working out of the pay-as-you-go plan to get modern highways. Yet the plan is absolutely sound financially and does not place any extra burden upon the general taxpayer. Greenville county may feel that it has played a very important part in bringing about this system which has resulted in such impressive growth of our paved highway mileage.

There is considerable difference between the duties of trustees in a private and state institution, however. When the trustees have only to account to a sect for their actions they are not under the responsibility of making public explanations of what is done. But the trustees of state institutions are serving the public at large and are under an implied responsibility of giving an ac motion.

There is no law to compel them to tell why they fire a professor, but they owe it to the public to explain why it is done when the professor says it was committed on undeserved grounds. And they owe it to the professor as an act of courtesy to give an explanation too.

It was the decision of the Greenville county delegation in 1926 to pave ail the state highways in the county, and to secure suitable legislation that would be held valid by the courts to make that program possible, that in very large degree initiated the great program of county cooperation in highway building that is now going forward over the state. powers in opposition to the dele If only I just one more step had taken, I might have saved a lonely one forsaken; If only I just one more loving word had spoken, I might have soothed a heart now broken.

STUDY THE "RULES INDIFFERENCE The story of Murray Roe is different from the story of other men only because Roe was prominent and rose to greater heights in his heyday than others.

Police found the body of this man propped up between two large rocks in Central Park. They searched his pockets and found $11. Indcntification proved him to be the son of tha Rev. J2. P.

Roe, the famous novelist who wrote "Barrier3 Burned Away," "Opening A I Chestnut Burr" and other titles. He was an engineer of promise only a few years ago. Less than a mile from where he died in poverty, disease and obscurity, was the cele- brated Riverside Drive Viaduct, which ha designed. Twenty years before the tragic date when death overtook him, Murray Roe was one of the lions of New York's social set. His fee on one project was $75,000 and he had thr money to splurge with the free-spenders.

He married in splendor to a society girl. Then came misfortune ill health and business reversal. Nobody knows just hotf serious and rapid were the sockdolagers, but Roe unostentatiously dropped from the select circle. He was not missed. His wife obtained a divorce on the ground of incompatibility.

Tuberculosis set in and he slunk to complete obscurity. After death it was revealed that at the age of 39, twenty-five years ago, he got a job as porter in the Palace Theatre where he spent the remainder of his life incognito. He possessed a magnetic personality and made friends among his co-workers. But in the theatre where he served many of the men and women with whom he once whiled away the time he never ascended to a better position than head usher. And nobody ever seemed to know him.

Say, if you will, that this is the penalty which one must pay in a big city where human contacts do not count for much, but only the man who has been through a trial like this knows the weight and oppression of the indifference that comes of defeat, no matter where he lives. The tragedy of the man who has tasted of the splendors of life and had to give them up is not so much the loss of those things as the ugly, contemptible indifference with which the world treats him after he has had his fling. The fine men and women who reveled in his companionship do not care enough for him to give him a shrug of their shoulders. And the fact that they do not even think of him any longer, when once he was constantly in their thoughts, sears his soul like a flame. H.

WHEN PROPHETS CONVENE Again the prophecy is made this time by four distinguished men at one gathering that the South and West will combine politically at some uncertain future date, with the East and North as opponents. The men who united in this judgment at the Williamstown Institute of Politics last week were Henry A.

Wallace, the former Secretary of Agriculture; Clarence Ousley, the former American Legion Commander; Dr. B. M. Kilgore, chairman of the board of the American Cotton Growers Association, and George A. Peek, president of the American Council of Agriculture.

These men are passionately Interested in agricultural success and are therefore apt to let prejudice influence their prophecy. For example, Mr. Wallace said that it is high time that "agriculturists of the South and West get together in a political way, cooperating at times with eastern labor to hold in check the rapid exploitation of natural resources and industrialization of the country." Which indicates that he is making the wish the father of the hope. Without debating the fallacious theory of Mr. Wallace that there is a conflict between industry and agriculture, when as a matter of fact the two are vitally interdependent, we are curious to see leaders of this type ignore the fact that the West and South have consistently refused to work together in national politics because their interests lie The explanation is that the mortality rate of boy babies is greater than among girls, and men are more liable to death by accident than are women.

Capper's weekly More Good Country show the light Trustees of educational institutions should lead the way into the light THE OPPOSITION GROWS The drift to the camp for the abolition of the political circus in South Carolina continues unabated. The Williston Way, The Spartanburg Journal and The Florence News-Review are among the papers that have spoken in favor of doing away with the antiquated vaudeville show in the future.

The Florence paper says that "for a num ber of years the people have been tiring of the campaign idea and we believe would welcome some action on the part of the state convention to abolish it altogether." It hits the bulls-eye as definitely as anybody could when it declares that "the fact that the meetings are so poorly patronized is sufficient to establish the fact that they are practically worthless as vote getters." Nobody has satisfactorily answered the question: Why is it worthwhile to hold meetings day after day when only a handful of people attend? The people have read in the newspapers long before the candidates arrive what they have to say, what their platforms are, what they propose to do to save the state from perdition. Unless there are pyrotechnics of a personal nature, which contribute less than nothing to the advancement of South Carolina, they stay home when the candidates are in town. In the days of slow transportation and small circulation of newspapers, the political circus served a good purpose. But it is as useless now as the town-crier. Every other state that ever had it has done away with it South Carolina is foolish if it does not too.

Diogenes And The Tub The often-repeated story that the Greek cynic Diogenes lived in a tub is regarded as a myth by most historians. According to one version of the story Diogenes lived in a tub or cask belonging to the temple of Cybele at Athens.

It is said that he wore the tub on his head, during the day and slept in it at night. According to another version, the vessel was not a tub, but a discarded earthen Jar which had been used as a container for wine and oil at the sacrifices in the temple. Diogenes is supposed to have died in the Jar, which was large enough for him to lie in at full length.

It did little or nothing for the cotton farmers. Many of the Southern representatives were swooped into camp because of the catch-phrase "doing something for the farmer," but it was not a bill for the South by any means.

There are many matters of an agricultural nature in which the South and West should combine for their mutual advancement And yet the West shows no disposition whatever to assist in legislation designed especially to help the Southern farmer. On the contrary, the threat of an embargo on cottonseed products persistently arises in western legislatures. It is an erroneous idea anyway that coalition in government should be developed for the objective of promoting the interests of one class of people in one section or another. The theory of Democracy is "the greatest good for the greatest number" and is opposed to combinations and blocks for the purpose of promoting exclusively the welfare of a subdivision. It used to be that when big men got together they would discuss the principles of government and its shortcomings in dealing justice to men.

DO THE JOB The Dillon Herald tells this anecdote: "Not many months ago a party of au-tomobilists stalled in the deep sand on the beach front of a popular South Carolina summer resort In a few minutes the automobile was surrounded by a dozen idlers, each of whom was offering the distressed automobilist a differ- ent suggestion on how to get the car out of its difficulties. Then came from one of the nearby cottages a man with a shovel on his shoulder.

He offered no advice but proceeded to dig the sand away from the locked wheels. The sand removed the car proceeded on its way. The man of the shovel is one of the biggest men in South Carolina. His reputation as a constructive genius extends over several states." No comment can add an ounce to the force of this incident. But it is a good guess that the man in question had spent many a day with the shovel, while the advisers were not even on speaking1 terms with it.
