The Gaffney l-dger is rather inconsistent. In one paragraph it urges kemocratic voters to send in their dollar for the W'oodow Wilson campaign fund and in another it exclaims. "Our people get excited over imhtics too easily Answer this, will you'' What good do the ieople derive from iolitics': About the only fellow benefited i. the guy who gets the office." Still an other paragraph "good roads and education are worth more to this country than all the jmlitics ever dreamed of. Good roads and education mean something of real value to the people while politics generally means giving some fellow an easy job at a fat salary Now let s analyze t he situa t ion. Tin- 1 ,edger is right in em phasiing the value of good mads and education, and it might have gone furtlie!' and said something about the care of the insane and other unl'oitu nates by the State, the magniti cent work of the Departmiyit of Agriculture and other activities of the government. These activ ites should be directed by capa ble and wise men in the various public offices. These men should be paid approximately as much for their services by the people as they would be paid by a cor poration, or as much as they could earn in business for lliein sel ves. The trouble is that our people do not -combine business and politics. Kvery citizen gets something from the govern ment and he pays something for it. In casting his vote ho should consider the returns that he will receive in good, honest and respectable government and the various activities of that government alone. Our people, and no where is this change quite, so applicable as in South Carolina, have let their senti ments and feelings and pre judices cont role their voting in stead of home; rational about the matter, thinking it out and voting according to 1 he dictates of t heir reason Negro Kill Four People.
