THURSDAY AUGUST 26, 1915.
The Observer, it may be noticed,
is taking no part in the “beauty con
test” for the “harvest jubilee,” which
is to form one of the attractions of
State fair week in Columbia. We may
be regarded as a little old-fashioned in
saying so, but we do not approve of
thrusting young women forward in a
beauty cofftest. It may be all right;
but it doesn’t look good to us, and so
we are not giving it any space or other
encouragement.—Newberry Observer.
Yes, and there’s another reason;
and that is the contest referred to is
pure advertising matter; and if the
Observer can afford to give its space
for free advertising, it can afford^ to
do more than this newspaper can."'!!
is time newspapers treated every
body alike. If a store conducted such
‘ a contest, it would have to pav for the
advertising; why not the State fair?
When the dividends, if any, are paid,
the newspaper will not be included.—
Bamberg Herald.
We have no criticism to make of The
Observer’s stand in regard to the
“beauty contest.” but we do thing that
The Herald takes a rather selfish view
of the matter. A fair—be it State or
county—is not primarily a money-mak
ing scheme for the stockholders, but
is usually an institution backed by a
few public spirited men who have the
advancement of their section at heart.
That being the case, it seems to us that
all patriotic citizens should lend a hand
in making it a success.
Barnwell County will probably be
represented at the State Fair by one or
more excellent exhibits and The People
is glad of the opportunity to promote
its success in every way possible. So
far as dividends are concerned, we
doubt if there are many fairs in this
section of the country that do much
more than break even, to say nothing
of paying a dividend, and if any money
is cleared above operating expenses
it is usually put into permanent im
provements.
Let’s not let the dollar mark stand
between us and our interest
fellow men.
“As President Wilson flatly refused
to issue an embargo on the export of
war material Germany was justified to
carry on the war by submarines. The
Arabic was a swimming arsenal.’’—Why
of course, she was! Being bound for
the United States she was probably
loaded down with ammunition that
sorely pressed England was shipping to
the United States for safe keeping.
“America’s interest demands peace.
No sane man can believe that a war
with Germany would benefit this coun
try.”—Chicago Abend Post. And that
is probably the position taken by the
-war lords of Germany. They think
that the American people are so intent
on the chase for the almighty dollar
that they will not defend their rights,
no matter what the provocation.
“Exactly 223 years before a Georgia
mob hung Leo Frank,” says The Stater
“a Massachusetts mob hung five per
sons, two of them women, for witch
craft.” And it is a Boston paper, we
believe, that is advocating a boycott of
Georgia's products.
Although The People is entered at
the post office at Barnwell as “second
class matter, ” it is-really a first class
newspaper. (Business of blushing
modestly.)
in our
Governor Harris and the people of
Georgia are entirely right in resenting
the interference and “holier-than-thou”
attitude of most of the press and some
of the people of “the outside world,”
especially of the North and East. We
believe that it would have been much
better for all concerned if the New
York newspapers had not interferer-
ed in the Frank case in the beginning.
Governor Harris is entirely right when
he says that “if the perpetrators are
brought to justice it will be by and in
the state of Georgia, and not by the
people of Illinois, or Missouri, or New
Jersey, or New York or any other
state.”
If the styles in Germany equal those
in the United States we don’t blame the
Germans for fighting for their place in
the sun.
The difference between Barnwell’s
and Edgefield’s first bales was several
days and seven cents.
With the present styles in vogue, a
girl in the sun is worth two in the
shade.
“Just suppose Mexico and Georgia
were neighbors!”—The State. Horrors!

You Need a Tonic
There are times in every woman’s life when she
needs a tonic to help her over the hard places.
When that time comes to you, you know what tonic
to take—Cardui, the woman’s tonic. Cardui is com
posed of purely vegetable ingredients, which act
gently, yet surely, on the weakened womanly organs,
and helps build them back to strength and health.
It has benefited thousands and thousands of weak,
ailing women in its past half century of wonderful
success, and it will do the same for you.
- You can’t make a mistake in taking
CARDUI
The Woman’s Tonic 7
Miss Amelia Wilson, R. F. D. No. 4, Alma, Ark.,
says: ‘‘I think Cardui is the greatest medicine on earth,
for women. Before I began to take Cardui, I was
so weak and nervous, and had such awful dizzy
spells and a poor appetite. Now I feel as well and
as strong as I ever did, and can eat most anything.”
Begin taking Cardui today. Sold by all dealers.
