I THE BARNWELL PEOPLE Entered at the poet office et Barnwell, 8. C., a* eecond-claes matter. JOHN W. HOLMES 1840-1912 B. P. DAVIES, Editor and Proprietor. THURSDAY, MAY 29TH, 1924. Boys will be boys and some men .act like boys. Perhaps a sausage factory would be the solution of what to do with stray do^s. It’s a jfood tiling that the bobbc<}r hair damsels are not dependent upon their tresses as was Sampson of old. Many people are sneeringly referred to as “rubber stamps” for a more dominating personality. But even a rubber stamp makes an impression. Mow times have changed. Delilah bobbed Sampson’s hair in order that be might lie taken into captivity. The modern girl bobs her own hair in order that her Sampson may be taken rn matrimony. • | It’s a pity that all of the candi- J dates to Congress can’t be elected. If we (and in this instance we are not using the editorial “we”) could get all they promise us, this section would be Utopia indeed. Some famous waves:' Marcel. Tidal. Permanent. Crime. ) Radio. ' Sad sea. And now we are forced to view the shameful-spectacle of United States Senator Norris, of Nebraska, vehem ently denying that he kissed a pretty Southern girl on the occasion of a visit to Muscle Shoalls, declaring that the p. S. g. Kissed him! A man wno would make such a denial and counter allegation isn’t (it to repres ent the great commonwealth of Nebraska, which abounds in great open spaces and nature’s noblemen, if we are to believe the writers of Western -drama. In calling upon the K. K. K. to clean up certain immoral conditions in and around Raleigh, N. vt, a preacher made the following statement: “1 do not know anything about the K. K. K., and, therefore, 1 can talk about it.” A strange attitude forsooth, but perhaps that explains why so . many people think that they can publish a newspaper better than the man who has made it his life-work—knowing nothing about the newspaper game, they feel qualified to run a newspaper. , ^ 1 . • 1 the good citizens with them in their efforts to curb bootlegging in the town and community. After Bamberg has been cleaned up -up, it is planned to extend the move ment so as to include the whode coun ty- The People congratulates the good people of Bamberg on the stand which they have taken. They are going to put forth their best efforts to rid thcr town of blind-tiger whiskey, whicn ‘they feel is at the bottom of a majori ty of the crimes that are committed. But Bamberg is rotralohe in having this problem to face—mere are hun dreds of other towns in South Caroli na who-e citizens hang their heads, in shame because of existing condi tions. In the platform of the Democratic party adopted at Columbia last week was the folowing: "The disregard for law is alarming. We demand by all officers' of the gov ernment the strict enforcement of all laws, including the Volstead act, and oppose any fundamental amendment to the Volstead act, as well as a strict observance - t all laws upon the part of the people themselves. The enforcement of law is [n a large measure a matter cf public conscience and the duty of the citizens in this respect is no less than the duty of the officers of the law.” We regard that as the most impor tant plank in the platform. Law en forcement officers are to be selected E> in Barnwell and other counties of the State this year and that plank is, or should be, binding upon each and every one of them, from the highest to the lowest and if the men selected prove derelict in their duty they should be forced by indignant peo ple to resign their ottices torthwith. To guard against this, however, a careful selection shou.d be made in the beginning. It might be a good idea for the voters to question the different candidates as to their at titude on this impuiiant question and LL any try to evade the issue, reject them in the coming primaries. In an open forum conducted in Pittsburgh, Pa., a short time ago and broadcast to radio listeners, a mother asked the question whether or not education could accomplish what law has apparently failefi to accomplish. The answer was that neither can suc ceed without the other. Let us in still into the minds of the younger generation a proper regard and re spect for the law through education, hut at the same time we must curb the activities of law violators by a stringent enforcement of the laws, or our educational effoits along this line will gol for naught. In the meantime, the campaign in Bamberg will be watched with inter est.

As the result of the killing of an innocent hoy by an alleged drunken negro a few days ago, indignant citi zens of Bamberg have inaugurated r. campaign against the bootleggers and other violators of the law in that city. The pastor of the Bamberg Methodist Church preached a stirring sermon on the morning following the homicide. Committees from the Bap tist, Methodist and Presbyterian churches were appointed to cooperate with the officers in the enforcement of the law. This committee met the next day, says a dispatch to the daily papers of this State, and discussed among themselves the problems of the town, and later asked for -P con ference with the city council, the police department and the sheriff, which was held. At this meeting the town’s af fairs were aired considerably, and tnded with the appointment of ,^.,a committee of seven ■ representative citizens of Bamberg to cooperate.with the sheriff-in putting an end to some resorts alleged to he known as law breakers. As a consequence of the naming of thi'* eopimittee, in.eompany with Sheriff H :1 y. several establish ments of alleged disreputable notor iety were visited and given some sage advice, the exact nature of which was not disclosed, hut :r the temper of the conference was carried out they were notified to either reform or shut up and leave town. It is said that there has been a noticeable change of front in some of these places since that time. The conference with the authorities was not in the nature of any criticism of the acts of the officers. The com*, mittee seemed to feel that the best officers in the world could not en force the liquor law unless they have the moral as well as the physical backing of the people they serve, and it was to offer this assistance and cooperation that the meeting was held. It is felt that there is now a much better understanding all round and that the officers will know th^t ithey have at least a large number of *K,.„ - ■ . .

My case was a pretty tough one, I know, so 1 kept on faithfully. After the fourth bottle, I began to feel very much better, so much so that I was surprised at myself.
