Well, we hope they’ll make monkeys oat of that Rang that wants to teach the theory of evolution in this country. The Home Bank is Riving its cus tomers some mighty good advice in that “Pick, Poison and Plow” circu lar. The People-Sentinel is not going to argue the question as to whether or not it pays to poison the weevil nor whether to apply the poison in dry or liquid form. That is a question for each farmer to decide for himself. But whether or not he believes that ‘ it will pay to apply calcium arsenate, there is no denying the fact that pick ing up the first squares, together with rapid cultivation, will go a long way towards making a cotton crop. eous crime murder ie in itself ; a crime against the individual, a crime against society, a crime against God. “Our present indifference to its prevalence is an offence to heaven,” says the News and Courier. “It con demns ut as s people.” U.

Carter, of Bamberg, for the poet of Aaaoeiate , Justice of the Supreme court, made vacant by the death a short time ago of Justice Thomas B. Fra sier. The People-Sentinel seconds the endorsement of the local Bar, be lieves as it does that no better man can be found for the position, al though of course there are many in the State Who are no doubt just aa capable as Mr. Carter, who is one of the leading lawyers of this section. He is a kindly, courteous gentleman and has won for himself a warm place in the hearts of the local attorneys. On a previous occasion, when Mr. Carter Was a candidate for Associate Justice, he led the field for 40 ballots, finally allowing his name to be with drawn to relieve a deadlock. Fo»r that reason, many people think that he has an added claim to the position. At present, he is -State Senator from Bamberg County. He is well known in this county, being a brother of So licitor Berte D. Carter. Barnwell County people have some claim to Whenever a young man leaves his home-town to try his mej-al in a larger arena, and makes good ih the ’broader field, It is always a pleasure to his friends at home to learn of such A success. It sends a glow of mingled pride and pleasure over us, land we unconsciously accept a part of if. as personal to ourseiye*uJJEbjs is one of the few forms of egotism wholly admirable and uplifting. It helps us, generally, to a spirit of gen erosity that silences jealousy and not only gives us pleasure, but more healthful f-houghts; and it harms no one. Recent news item from Washing ton, D. C., "tell us of our young friend, John G. Simms, as enacting the part of the “Young Man from His Home Town”, and I am sure that his wide circle of friends in our community will be glad f-o hear about it. As already known, Jo^n G. -Simms is the oldest son of our distinguished fellow citizen, Hon. C. C. Simms, and that he was graduated from the Law School of the University of | South Carolina with honor as of f-he class of 1919. He was, then, too young to practice that profession in the State, and a special act of the Legislature was passed for his beneAt to over come the difficulty. Very shortly af ter his admission to the Bar, young ! Simms went West wifh the view of him also, as he married a girl from , wem west wij. Kline. Here** hoping that he will be "tudying human-nature in the raw, the .choice of the General Assembly. A Glimmer of Hope—at Last. Senator Underwood, in his tax speech at Montgomery, Ala., Friday night, advocated giving the President blanket authority to abolish govern ment bureaus. His declaration was the occasion for prolonged applause from big hearers,, showing that he had struck n respen*lv« chord, There is **a movement on foot Sn this Slate at the present time looking to the con solidation of some of the departments of government with a view to econo my. Consolidation of some of the various agencies will probably be a good thing, but complete abolition of a number of useless bureaus that only serve to give somebody a job and in crease the tax burden would be even better. The people are sick and tired of taxes mounting higher and higher each year. Vox populi was heard in the matter of tie 20 per cent, tax on coafnetics, which was reduced to four per cent, last week, and we now have some faint hope that it is beginning to reach the ears of the powers that be in other matters. The sooner they realize that economy in government what the taxpayers want, the bet ter it will be for everybody concerned. An Awful Record. & The editor of The People-Sentinel is not an anti-prohibitionist. So far as he is personally concerned, it would suit him O. K. if there were not a drop of whiskey manbfactured, 8bld”6Fcbh-” sumed in this great country of ours. But it is a remarkable fact, and one , that is worthy of serious considera tion, that in spite of nearly a decade of Volsteadism, the homicide record in 1924 in the United States was the highest it has ever been, more than 11,000 murders having been commit ted in that year, or nearly 1,000 a month. And the awful part of the whole business is that such an astounding and bloody record makes so little impression on us. We boast , of our civilization and our Christian ity and send missionaries to “heathen , pountries”! We wonder sometimes what the benighted people of those uncivilized and un-Christianized coun tries really think atm.
