GOOD ROADS BILL. The papers carry the announce ment that the Highway Commission is drafting a bill for good ropds, which will short)y-'be sent to the for thetr perusal. Since the legis lators strive to represent their con stituents it might not be a~bad plan to* place a copy 6f"this draft into the” manner it would be brought directly to.the attnetion of the voters. The matter could be discussed in the col umns of the papers. The various views could clarified and harmonized Doe* anybody remember the day when frying size chickens cost twenty cent*? It is surprising to see what little things some big men will sometimes do. If you are looking for a worth while investment, invest yourself in the “smile that ti worth while." The average handler of gossip has unfailing symptom of insanity. He talks as if he believed that every body told the truth. Barnwell county has more ponds of water then in the past ten years. We don't remember that the crops ruined by these flooded areas would have paid ten tinfes over for the cost of clearing out the ditches. The country man may not have as Many labor saving conveniences as are found in town, but the towns have never yet produced anything that can come up to the week of pro tracted meeting. *^he reason that women take suf frage as readily as a duck to water is because they are always ready to vote for the best man. The credit for this should be given to one of Barnwell’s brightest girls. An observant farmer of Barnwell county says that half the farms in the county would now have been owned by tenants and' share croppers if they had not found enough automo biles to invest their money in. If the dogs could get together on matters affecting the welfare of their race they would provide safe and sane speed limits for automo biles going through iiowhs. As it is they have become almost as rare as the Indian. There is a rumor that the rains have increased the mosquito popula tion in the county to that extent that many of them have to wait for their places at the dinner tables because there isnt room enough on the bodies of our citizens Tor all to feed at the aamh- time.— — : — Some young men of marriagable age evidently believe^ that only at mountain and seaside resorts are to be found the fairest of the fair. If they had stopped to earefully observe the girls who have remained at home they’ wouldn’t have given-ail that money to the railroads and boarding fcoaaes. - — • in the county papers as no where else. Our people are ready to pay for good roads. They apjAeciate their ad vantages, but they really want an opportunity to say how they shall be paid for. The people of Barnwell county realize that good roads will enhance the value of farm property as nothing alsa-will do. They are willing for a general tax to be laid on farm values to build these roads. The man who hauls guano in the winter months and- watermelons in the summer knows the value of good roads in the saving of his stock. If he is the right sort of a. man he does not want the automobile to bear the entire responsibility and expense of his good roads. The judgment of the rpn^ and file of the people back home may not be the best authority on the technical side of road build ing, but it can be depended on when we come to the question of how they shall be paid for.. THE PLACE OF THE CHURCH. One of the hopeful signs of the times is found in the fact that the newspapers have begun to discuss the place end function of the church in the daily life of the people. Some papers are looking at the matter from the standpoint of helpful criticism. They recognize the fact that the church Is not making the appeal to the children that it did 1 to the fathers. It is their earnest desire to see it fill a larger place than it does. One of our exchanges carried an editorial* last week in which comment was made and deductions were drawn from the fact that ore a recent Sun day in Washington 7,000 persons were found in all the churches of the city while on the same day *50,- 000 people attended the moving pic tures. What legitimate influences may be drawn from the fact that the church finds competitors for attendance? The above mentioned instance is only one of many that are used against the church. . In general there funs through all such comments the open message from eternity*- to time ean meet these. Somehow there may foe an eternal fitness "In the fact ttiat socialism recognizes the church as it* chief enemy. The coming battle will be between these two. J The great majority will line up With the church because they dare not swallow all that Socialism stands for*. ' THE H. C. L. 7, 'rtie above words stand for the big gest question in the minds of, the people, today, the high cost of living. Some folks are getting rich on it. Politicians are making platforms on it. The average man is getting in dignant about it. It is simply out rageous the way that the cost; of liv ing has soared when according to all standards it should have fallen. We were patriotic when told that high prices were necessary to' ^win the war. We were charitable when told that it was necessary to . fead the starving refugees of warswept Europq^_ Mfe were unselfish . when hands of the county papers. In this-|t51d that it was necessary for us to rebuild the battle scarred towns of France.- These have been met in part, but prices keep on climbing up ward. Then we were told that the whole matter w$_s due to a scarcity of labor, but the number of unim- pleyed in each city disproved this. So we have been reluctantly forced to the conclusion that some folks have gotten rich by lying. The mat ter has gone far enough. Last week President Wilson went before Con gress to ask for laws that will put profiteers rii jail. The guilty parties, are beginning to uncover their hoarded supplies. It was found that one dealer had 1,000,000 pounds of ham in storage. Another had 10,- 000,900 pounds of sugar in his ware house. The rest of the food hoarders are getting scared. We don’t mind paying a high price when we have to help on some good and worthy cause by it, but we are not willing to let profiteers get rich on us. All honor- tt> Woodrow Wilson MAJ. P. J. DREW. The announcement on Saturday morning of the death of Maj. P. J. ! Drew which occured at his late resi- ‘ dence in Barnwell on Friday night, was received by great surprise by all of his many friends. While it was known that he was not in the best of his end was so near. He was sixty years of age. He was a native of Ireland first coming to Blackville where so many came to Blackville where* so many ‘ good citizens of that island reside. He early became identified with the best interests of his adopted land. About eight years ago he removed to Barnwell and was deeply interested in the upbuilding of everything that made for progress. He enjoyed the friendship of an unusually large num ber of people, being possessed of a frank and genial disposition. He found a genuine pleasure in military affairs having risen to the rank of quartermaster general on the staff of the governor, which office he was compelled to resign on account of his health. For a number of years he bad been one of the foremost travel ing men of the south, representing or implied opinion that the fault for I the Craddock Terry Shoe Co., of We are second to NONE in efficiency.

THE BARNWELL SENTINEL this condition is in the church and not elsewhere. The editorial re ferred to suggests that the church is behind the times and its necessity is to modernize itself by installing a series of moving pictures. In other words borrow a leaf from the book of its competitor for the Sunday crowds. The fundamental difference between the appeals made by these two agencies to the public is that the movie aims to entertain. While en tertainment may be a minor part of the aim of the church, the reason for its existence is to bring men v to~God. When it has failed in this manner hf rightly declaring the thing that' be longs to the soul, it has surrendered its right to appeal as a church to the people. If in its appeal there are elements which are found also in the circus, lyceum, chautauqua or con cert, these matters should not obscure its primary message for eternal life. The question^ that T is involved in a larger attendance at the movies- than the- church is not whether the church has failed to hold the people and need to amend its ways, but whether the people who leave the church do not thereby indicate their choice for en tertainment of the body rather than uplift of the souTT That is the fun damental issue involved in a dwind ling congregation.
