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.

views and conclusions.
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.

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.

MRS. 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
