The Sinclair crowd is now tryinK to pour oil on troubled waters. ThTT^MeJon Plan may be all riprht, but what we are interested in ju-it now is the cominjr melon crop. Women use mud baths to make ♦ themselves more beautiful. Politic ians resort to mud-slinging to get elected to office. The Dutch Weather Prophet says that 1924 will be an “anti-boll weevil year” so far as seasons are concern ed. Here’s hopin’. League of Nations controversy is no reason why he should be invited’. At a time when the whole world is hon oring the memory of America's great est President, the presence of k <Jim Reed in South Carolina to preach his brand of Democracy is particularly objectionable* to the followers of Woodrow Wilson. , • j L - * The People believcs'that Mr. Brad ford's resolution was a mistake. We are quite'fctire that many members of the legislature voted for it without due 4«1 iteration, or without carefully considering how a large number of South Oarblinians fee! towards the Missouri Senator. In deference to these. The-People hopes that the Gen eral Assembly will withdraw its invi tation to Senator Reed. or the sound of his footsteps. Gone, gone, but never will he be forgotten, Mr. Hair was 73 years of age and had been in b6d health for some time, ,Ji£, leaves his wife and five sups^to mourn his death. Oh, how we hope to meet him face to face in the resur rection morning, when the dear Lord cpmes to make up :ils jewels, never fto part again, is our prayer. One Who Loved Him. >, ertvd4 v Resolutions of Respect. The latest version of ^When Dido found Aneas would not come, she wept in silence- and was- di-do^dum,” ir as follows: "When Congress found that Albert would not come, it raged in public and was Teapot Dome.” German Physchology. Since the above was put into type, the House of Representatives has adopted , a resolution, after spirited debate, withdrawing the invitation to Senator, Reed. During the discussion he was ^branded Jis & ‘’traitor,” one who was “disloyal” and one who “should have been placed with his back to the wall during the war.” ’ The People > congratulates the House on its action and is glad to note that Barnwell County’s repres entatives heartily supported-the*, reso lution to withdraw the invitation. Death of Mr. J. A. Hair. The German mind moyfes in a mys terious, way its blunders to perform! For a day or two following the death of Woodrow Wilson, the Ger man embassy in Washington, acting presumably under orders .from Bei lin, refused to fly its "flag at half- mast in token of respect to the mem ory of one of the greatest men ' the ' world has ever produced. Ft \v is not until public opinion voiced its protest and u small American flag was planted on the lawn of the em bassy that the German government awoke to the fact thr4 if had made another of its many physchologiciil blunders that the flag was lowered to half-mast. There is too. much maudlin senti ment iir this country for a defeated people whose ambition was to rule the world with the mailed fist of militarism and lo grind civilization under the iron heel of Prus-ian bar barism. Even jit the time of. the flag episode, efforts were being made in this country’ to raise, fiilnls for the re lief of starving German children. Bytter that they die in the innocence of infancy than be raised up in hat red as a future menace to our own children. This latest incident would seem to indicate that "The Hymn of Hate” is still being played minus the soft peddle. Denmark, Feb.

It is so hard to see one taken away wHo has been with us so long, nevjr to see him or hear his welcome voice The following resolutions of re spect on the death of Eunice Owens were passed by the Long Branch Sunday School: ‘ Whereas, the Death Angel has again visited our Sunday school and taken from us the bright little eleven year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. 0.

That a copy of these resolu tions be published in the county pa pers and that a copy be sent to the bereaved family. S. B.
