The People challenges "the claim of any other newspaper in Barnwell County to a larger county circulation than is enjoyed by this paper. 2. The People challenges the claim of any newspaper that is edited in one county and “set" and printed in another county to style itself “the only all-homeprint newspaper in County.” The People does not c laim to he an “aU-homeprint newspaper,” but it does claim to "set” and print MORE of its paper at home than any other newspaper in Barnwell County. The People believes in "Truth in Advertising,” whethers it be adver tising concerning itself or others. The People is a paper “of the peo ple, for the people, and by the m-ople.

Meinhardi, the well known Kx- pert-from Chicago, will personally be at the Genesta Hotel, Augusta, Ga , on Saturday only, April 2*5th. Mr. Meinhardi says "The Vacuum Rupture Shield” will not only hold the Rupture .perfectly, but will /ontract the opening in ton days on the average case—usually giving instantaneous relief withstanding alf strain regard less of the size and location of the Rupture. This instrument is highly indorsed for producing results in the United Statesman! foreign countrit 1 ?^ without the use of surgery, medical treatment, prescriptions or injections. —Caution: ' Ruptured, persons should beware, of old style trusses with un der-straps. These trusses usually place the pad on the lump and not pn the rupture opening. This often causes serious trouble resulting in strangulation and necessitating a surgical operation. Mr? Meinliardi will be- glad to demonstrate free to all who call at the hotel- from 10 a. m. to 4 p. m., the unusually .rapid results- produced by “The Vacuum Shield.” The largest and most diffi- t-ult cases are especially desired. Only gentlemen are invited to call on the above date* asc'a special visit will be- made here at a later date for women and children. Notice: Do not wrtte asking to be fitted by mail as this is impossible. Every case must be seen personally. If interested, you must call at this hotel on the above date. Business demands prevent stopping at any othep place in this section.—adv.

After reliable figures were gathered the Japanese foreign office estimated the loss at $933,000,- ■sK*. This uncertainty in news is mo^t apparent when disasters occur. First reports seldom are correct; the tacts • ither are exaggerated or underesti mated. In some cases the truth re mains obscured tor days or weeks. Reports of less sensational news ot- !<*n fluctuate in a similar manner. Statements made one day are con tradicted the next. Sometimes one small item will grow into a story.yf several columns, while on the otb**r- hand a big piece of news may prove in a short time to have nu substantial foundation of fact. The People tries to give its readers each week this foundation of fact in its News Review of Current Events. Written by Edward W. Pickard, this resume of world happenings comes io you as predigested news. Mr. Pick ard is a seasoned newspaper man, writer tuid traveler. He is in touch constantly with most of the reliable sources of world news. It is not his duty to censor, but merely to refine this vast supply of raw material into dear, intelligible and unbiased accountings of what has happened, together with an expres sion of its relative importance to all of us. Manv of our subscribers are con ternatiortal news. The People at all times seeks to offer the most interest- mg and important local ncw^. If we T didn't We couldn't continue. By of fering this News Review of Uurrert Events, we believ** we are satisfying the demand for accurate information concerning the world at large.
