THE BARNWELL PEOPLE Entered at the post office at Barnwell, S. C., aa aecond-class matter. JOHN W. HOLMES 18*0-1912 • THE VOICE OF THE PEOPLE. The War and Hate. • ••••••a B. P. DAVIES, Editor and Proprietor. THURSDAY, MARCH 16, 1916. An Excellent ~ a Idea. That was an excellent sujjffMtion contained in the last issue of the Wal- terboro Press and Standard—that the editors and publishers of newspapers in the so-called,’Mow country” get to gether and 'organize u press booster club for the purpose of putting this section of the State “on the map.” We heartily second what Brother Smoak has to say and move that he take whatever steps may be necessary to organize such a club, or association —at the same time assuring him of our feeble support. As he points out, the papers of the Piedmont are forever boosting their section, while little if anything is ever said about the lower tier of countie,s. Brother Smoak’s idea is an excellent one and is well worth the serious con sideration of his fellow publishers. P. S. Since the above was written, the editor of The People has received an invitation from the Beaufort Cham ber of Commerce to attend a meeting in that city on the evening of March 17th for the purpose of carrying out the suggestion made in the Press and Standard. Such quick action is com mendable and shows that the “low country” is not so slow after all. Un less something unforeseen prevents, we expect to attend the Beaufort meeting. We wish to commend the town coun cil of Barnwell for its action in buy ing several hundred feet of standard hose to be used in fighting future fires in this city. This is a step in the right direction and we sincerely hope that it will be followed up until the town is provided with adequate fire protection. As we have pointed out before, the proper sort of fire-fight ing apparatus will reduce the present insurance rate enough to take care of any increase m taxation necessary to purchase same. What say you, friends? Watson Bell, of the York News, numbers The Square Deal, a news paper published in the Kansas peni tentiary, among his exchanges, and he is spparently so much impressed with the articles appearing therein that it is very improbable that he will ever grace the easy chair in the oflice of such a publication. The Aiken Standard has recently installed a linotype. We congratu late Editor Duncan on his progress- iveneas. His paper is not quite a year old and already ranks among the leading weeklies in the State. Editor of The People:— In his recent address, given at the HHch 3ch<ff>l Auditorium, Lieutenant- Governor Bethea, among other things, said that he had heard rtiore expres sions of hate in England towards the Germans^han he had in Germany to ward the English. Upon hearing the statement the present writer wonder ed whether that might not be due to the greater familiarity of the Lieut.- Governor with the English language, by which he would catch more of the passing expressions of sentiment in England than he would in Germapy. But however that may be, as an evi dence that all of the peoples of the Entente powers are not animated by the_ sentiments expressed in the fa mous German “Song of Hate,” it is refreshing to read the following order which, according to “The Outlook,” is reported to have been issued to the school teachers of Hungary: “The Royal Hungarian Minister for Education requests all teachers to pay special attention fn the coming term to the respect and honor due to our enemies; that no hatred or contempt should enter the minds of the children against the brave men with whom their fathers are in deadly combat; and that hate or contempt is not to be cultiva- teii/ia the youthful minds.” - A.
