Friday June ft,- 192.1 i The plant of the Barnwell Sentinel has boon acquired by the Barnwell People and hurj&aftor the paper will bo run under the name of the Barii (9 well People-Sentinel. Tho change waH made necessary because of the fact that the community was too .small to support the two papers, B. P. Davis is now editor and owner ; of hoth pap^rft. The Sentinel was established in 1852 and the People was' established in 1877. He Knew a (iood Thing 1 see by the papers where a CJer man scientist proposes to go into the wilds of Africa to study the theory of evolution first hand. The learned professor it is stated, will secure a dozen native bAbies, coral them in complete isolation, and note the re action in the days to come. N'o doubt it will be discovered that even when a human being is unnaturally confined In; will not lose all of his man-like attributes and not retro* gyulo into the ape class. All of which reminds me of a yarn 1 heard when a small boy. The story went that once a baby boy had a father who. desired to give him everything he desired, but to never lei him see a woman. lie was to become a superman? reared among men ? to that end. The boy at last reached his majority. Me had never spoken to a girl in all his life, nei ther had be seen one, On his twenty first birthday the father accompanied his manly son for a walk. They soon met- a pretty young woman, gaily tripping along, singing as she wont. "What on earth is that, father?'" inquired the astonished young man. "That my son, is nothing but a goose." "Well, father, you've always let mo have everything I'w wanted, and now I'll exchange it all for just one little gooke!" -Monroe ftnquiror. M.

A $2,000,000,000 Word Mr. Woodbridgo, now head of thi Advertising Clubs of the World, says newspaper* are the pro-eminent ad vertising medium for selling mer chandise quickly." To the real business man it is more than that! It is the only advertising force that can build up a name. Repe tition is reputation. And only newspapers can give a reputation the repetition that creates value. Dollars put into brick, mor tar, steel and glass will tear down. Money invested in advertising, build ing up a name worthy to be adver tised, will outlast all your factories. Ford's factories perhaps are worth fifty' millions. The one word "Ford" is worth at least two thousand mil lions. Nature In No Hurry South Africa, land that produces ! gold, returns to the gold standard, I imitating old Mother England, Down j there; below the equator, under the j hot sun, tens of thousands rush t.i a new gold field. About ten times as many blacks as whites are in the lush. Hut, needless to say, when j the dust settles the whites will hay i the gold difet. What would happen to the gold J standard and the world's finance if j this new gold field should suddenly ; multiply by two, or ten or twenty the world's gold supply? That, how-' ever, will surely not happen. All through the ages, while men have cut (jach other's throats to get j them, gold and silver have maintained ! their value, based on scarcity, withj slight fluctuations. Providence seems to have arranged- that- for its mys terious reasons. This is the only country that has any supply of helium gas worth while. We get it after it has leaked up through the earth and in pools of natural gas. According to Dr. IClind, chief of the Hureau of Mines, "it takes 20, 000,001) years for helium to leak from minerals and rocks and come within our reach." Many things happen in science that couldn't happen if this earth we re only (?,000 years old, as was once believed. It took millions of years for evolution to change a creature as big as a fox, with seven toes, into the horse of today. It takes 20,000,000 years for helium gas to become available. It will take our sun .'500, 000, 000 more years to cool off. Only Human Habies A New York lady ran a baby farm. T)u- babies died rapidly, especially if their board hills wire not paid. One poor infant dug up after burial had a fractured skull. The rate of mor tality was horrible. If anybody kept such a farm for baby dogs or cats, the "Cruelty to Animals Society" would' probably supervise and regulate it. How does :t happen that the so-called Society i'<>r the Prevention of Cruelty to < hildren kin w nothing about the baby farm or it* deaths?

"The Lord Have Mercy" In Pennsylvania, William Oa\alier, fifteen years old, and a murderer, has been sentenced to die in the elec tric chair. The sentence wound up with "And may t he; l.ord have mercy on your soul." The reporters thought the boy winced a little at that, and a.L the words about "Death ? etectric current- ? passed through body ? until dead." The boy smiled as he left the court and a few minutes, later, in hi* cell, he was playing a popular song ,MK#tcrina," on his phonograph. Fred fanning, warden in cJ>?rg? . js?L- ? r._; ~ : ? OPFICKR KILLS ATTORNEY Claim* He Shot At Tire and Bullet (? I h need Kalcigh, N. C? June 1. Stephen S. Holt, prominent lawyer of Smithfield N. C., alleged to have been mistaken for a "rum runner" was shot and al most instantly killed by Jesse Wyatt, captain of the plain clothes depart ment of the Kalcigh police force, this afternoon about 3 o'clock. The shoot ing took place about one mile from Raleigh. Following a coroner's inquest this afternoon, Wyatt was remanded to jail without bail, the coroner's jury finding that Holt came to his death as the result of a pistol shot wound inflicted by Wyatt. According to witnesses testifying at the inquest, Holt, who had been in attendance at federal court here today was returning to his-fjome at Smith field in company with sevoral friends, the party occupying two ears. Whon near the point where the shooting Oc curred they parked their cars betfide the road and were overtaken by 'Wyatt and Chief of Police Winder! Bryan, who were on nn inspection tour. v Wyatt stated that he thought the cars were loaded with whiskey and when one of them started to move off he ordered i? to halt. He said that the order was disobeyed and that he fired at a rear tire. It was hist version of the -affair that the bul-j let glanced off the hard surface road and struck Holt. The bullet penetrated the rear cur tain of the car in which Holt was riding, entered his neck and ranged upward to the base of the brain. Hje died en route to a local hospital. Witnesses in the car with Holt -stated that there was no toder to halt and that , the first intimation they had. of trouble was the pistol shor. They also testified that neither Wyatt nor Chief Bryan were in uniform. No whiskey was found in the car, they testified and in this thev were cor vooo rated by Chief Bryan.

WILSON PKAD Was Widow of Colonel THomtm Wll won, of Humtcr Mrs. Thomas Wilson, widow of the I late ThosJ Wilson, died at her home on llroad street, at 1:20 p. m. Mon day. Mrs. Wilson, who was Misa Klizu beth McCormick of Airdrie, Scotland, was married to Thos. Wilson, also of Airdrie, on November 0, 1865. They hod been playmates and sweethearts since childhood and the bond of lovo and affection endured and made their life a happy one until July I, 1021, when 'Col. Wilson died in the city of Ne>v York. In 1860 Mr. and Mrs. Wilson imi grated to America. After living for a number of years i in the north, Mr. Witeon moved to North Carolina and later to South Carolina, making his home in Sumter about sixteen years ago. ' For 56 years Mrs. Wilson, a woman of fine ability, and rare judgment wan more than a helpmeet to her hus band. Colonel Wilson often said that much of his success in life was due to her splendid judgment and advice; his few failures being upon occasions when he went against her sugges tions in business matters. Mrs. Wilson had been an invalid for ten years and for the last three ?years! of her life had been confined to her bed a large part of the time. She was of an unusually bright and cheerful disposition and although the last eight months of her life was punctuated with pain and much suf fering, she still possessed so cheer ful an outlook upon people and the world that it continued to be a great .joy for her friends to assemble around her. On last Sunday, May 24th, she cel ebrated her 78th birthday, surround ed by loving friends, a devoted family and many beautiful tributes of love and appreciation. Mrs. Wilson is survived by the following daughters and sons: Miss Mary Wilson, who lived with her; Mrs. (?. A. Lcmmon, Mrs. R. D. Graham, and Mr. John Wilson of Sumter, Mr. Thos. Wilson, Jr., of Minden, La., and Mr. W. E. Wilson, of Tampa, Fla. ? Monday's . Sumter _ I Item.
