Do It Now. The People dislikes very much to have to call the attention of its readers to the ruling of the Post Office Department in regard to expired subscriptions—that is, those who ar^ in arrears more than twelve months. We do not wish to appear insistant, but as we are given no Choice whatever in the matter, we must again ask those who are due us for over a year's back subscription to kind ly let us have the amount AT ONCE. If it isn’t convenient to pay tt all now, pay pan of it and let us know definitely just when | t«re mav expect the balance. This is (it accordance with the rule referred to above and which we published in full several weeks ago We have received numbers of compliments on the improvement in The People .Tberrfwre, with out any egotism on our part, we believe that the paper is well worth the small price asked for it The editor has to live, his printers must receive their wages, rent, light, taxes, license, and other bills have to !>«■ met So once more we ask that those who are behind w ith their dues to kindly remit same to us as soon as possible If our sub scribers will do their part we will continue to give them whut some have characterised as the best paper published in Barnwell County.” W on't you do you’, part, dear delinquent subscp',er? The improvements tj^ ^e make from now^j*Ci will depend very lUciHCl'pon the way m which you comply with our request. DO IT NOW! I. 1 Editor* Got in Bod. It is getting to be a favorite diversion to bring suit against newspapers for libel. Mr. Ed Decamp, editor of the Gaffney^Ledger,^ is being sued for $25,000 for^an alleged libelous editorial that was published during the heat of last summer’s campaign. The Appeal to Reason, a Socialist newspaper published at Girard, Kan sas, has instructed its attorney to bring immediate suit against twelve news papers for publishing an article about its founder, who committed suicide. Among the number is the State Dis patch, a weekly newspaper published at Burlington, N. C. The good suggestions made by the Rev. W. M. Jones, of Williston, in last week’s issue of The People, are being very favorably commented on. A trus tee of one of the districts in this county was in our office last week and said that he would be glad to petition the Board to change the name of his dis trict to the “John W. Holmes School District,” but as Major Holmes did not teach in that school he thinks it would be more appropriate to name the dis trict in which he did teach in his honor.

Pai/is, XttoriK n at Law That the teaching of agriculture and home economics in the rural schools tends to keep the boys and girls on the farm has been very conclusively proved in Iowa. For several years these branches have been taught in Wright County, that SUte. Before commenc ing the work the teachers had been in the habit of asking the boys and girls whether they preferred staying on the farms or not after they grew- up. 157 boys and 163 girls wished to leave; 7 boys and 11 girls wished to stay. After three years of agriculture and home economics in the schools, the same questions were aski?d in the same school. The answers this time were more surprising even than before: 162 boys and 161 girls wished to stay and only 12 boys a nd 17 girls wished to leave the farm. What’s the answer? Hav e there) been any more revolu tions in Central or South America with in the (iast day or two, or is China Mill the "youngest republic:" Ty Cobb is back in the game, so why should baseball fans in tins section worry about the price of .cotton tins fall? “When is a biped a not biped’:'" That’s easy.

The Field, a live weekly newspaper published at Conway, has been receiv ing congratulations on an industrial edition that it published last week. The Field deserves all the praise that it got, for its qp**riiil edition was very credit able indeed. It was composed of twenty-four pages of well edited read ing matter and the amount of advertis- i ng that it carried shows that the mer chants and other business men of Horry County appreciate the efforts of its Water is doing a R>t of damage wit West, but then ,think what the same amount of whiskey could do.

If judges would | ut fines of ll.HOO and $2,UcA) on blind tigers, like Judge | Memmmger did at Spartanburg, the traffie would not continue long Bam berg Herald. Perhaps not; and then again perhaps it would. It is quite likely, judging from their records, that the two Spar tanburg blind tigers whym Judge Memminger fined $1,000 and $2,000 re spectively have given bond, taken an appeal and are probably ready for business again at the same old stand. The judge has gone somewhere else. The grand jury and the solicitor are more effective in breaking up the blind 1 tiger business than judges, if they would only keep at it. They can do it if they will.—Newberry Observer. God Ble** the Veterans. The old veterans of the best armies that ever trod the planet had a good time at the reunion in Aiken last week. The ranks of these gallant men grows thinner at each reunion, and in a few more years taps will soon be blown for most of those who are with us now. God bless and keep them to the end.— Orangeburg Times and Democrat. To all of which we devoutly say “Amen.” Dr. Smeed says that many a crooked- limbed colt can be helped by using a mixture of alcohol two parts and olive oil one part on the knees and tendons twice per day and with thorough hand rubbing. Each time straighten the leg “and bring it into place several times. This will stretch the tendons and loosen up the^joints and ligaments. Don’t be afraid to rub and manipulate the legi into proper form. Maater's Sale. \ I h 'RM't A I I A A • 'M Mntc nml Ffrlr-nl » cjuM* BARNWELL S C- Office over Renk of Wr»tern Carolina. BflAiMiL 5. c.
