HOLMbS 1840-1912 1 : X SUBSCRIPTION RATES: One Year $1.60 Six Months .90 Three Months .60 (Strictly in Advance.) B. P. DAVIES. Editor and Proprietor. Woodrow Wilson. Woodrow Wilson—gentle*man. schol ar, statesman—is dead. .The announcement of his death, hourly expected for two days, was flashed to the wo-Id* Sunday mominK And carried with it universal sorrow that tins' great man is no more. To many, it carried a sense of personal, bereavement, so closely was he iden tified .with lives of millions of Ameri cans. „ w For more than four years, Mr. W-il- son was a mast appealing figure. Stricken physically while, batting for his high ideals, he fought a game but losing fight to regain hi.+ health. His •uncomplaining attitude, his lack, of bitterness against those who slander ed him, endeared him to the' Ameri- van people. .—>— Mr. Wilson has been referred to repeatedly of late as “the war presi- dent.” This would -seem to he a mis nomer. While he was called upon to serve as the Chief Executive of this great nation during the 'World War, he was an apostle of peace rather than e.n exponent of militarism. His place is secure in history. No thing that The People might say can add to thd glory r of»h*s achievement, nor can anything that his enemies might .say dim its shining lustre. Woodro^v Wolson is dead.and the world loses on«* of the greatest men of all time, but his memory lives on.

And it was- -t-knougb the medium of the radio that his death was first known in Barnwell, a mes sage being received here shortly af ter 12 o’clock-Sunday afternoon. Shortly before midnight Saturday, when all hope had been abandoned for Mr. Wolson\s recovery, the organ ist of an Atlanta church rendered that dear old hymn. “Load Kindly Light.’’ which was broadcast by the Atlanta Journal, (doming as it did out of thej^n through the medium of thr.t tpysieribus invention, the radio, it vj'as like listening to a prayer being waited to heaven in behalf of a great soul' on the threshold * of the Eternal. . , \ i *- * The People * feels sure that" his spirit has l-een given “that^ peace which the \yorld cannot give." as a £host/ <o* : * * '* r ' ' The wonderful Willys-Knight sleeve- valve engine gives you quiet,silky action.
