THE BARNWELL PEOPLE Entered at the post office at Barnwell, S. C., a» second-class matter. JOHN W. HOLMES 1840—1912 B. P. DAVIES, Editor and Proprietor. THURSDAY*. APRILS AddreM: t. J. CHENET A ' Some of otir contemporaries con tinue tq uke the term “murder" in speaking of a homicide. It is bur idea that a killing is a homicide un til it is proven othe^wse. The courts, in South Carolina very rarely sustain any one in calling a homicide a mur der, because there are very rare con victions. What you may thing looks lik a murder, will doubtless look different to the jury. Anyway, a person is presumed to be innocent -until proven guilty. And we South Carolinians are^jot very strong be lievers in proving anybody guilty of ipurder.—Bamberg Herald. But is it not a fact that when the accused is arrested for a homicide the warrant charges “murder” and if the Grand Jury finds a true bill the in dictment also charges “murder?” The Herald is right, however, in pointing out that th<^ unfortunate ‘tragedies that occur too frequently should lie referred to as homicides. The Letter '“E." The opinion has been advanced that the letter “e" is the most unfortunate letter in the English alphabet, because it is always out of cash, forever in debt, never out of danger and in hell all the time. It Is fortunate in that it is never in war and always in peace. It is the beginning of esistence. the commenrement of ease and the end of trouble. Without it there wonM he no meat, no life and 'ho heart*n. It ia the center of honesty and makes love perfect. It also starts off in error, ami printing, publishing, typography and lithography ran get along without it, although it is necessary in electro typing, engraving any typefounding. It is the beginning and end of editorial existence.—American Printer. Furthermore, it takes its place in heaven, is the end of life and the be ginning of eternity, and *it makes Barnwell possible. “Head the < stuma?" The People seconds the following suggestion from The State: “Resolved, That the Democrats of club (ward or town ship! indorse the administration of Woodrow Wilson and instruct their delegates to the county convention to vote for delegates ip favor of his renomination.” C A brief resolution ofL^about that tenor would lie adopted, we suppose, without opposition in every Demo cratic club of South ('arolina if it should l>e introduceik Let it lie introduced. Let South Carolina take the foremost place in the Wilson column! $1M Reward, $100 ..

The Barnwell People arises to re mark that Barnwell can boast of more pretty girls than any town hereabouts. Old Aiken doesn’s find it necessary to advertise hers in such a brazen man ner, but if Brother Davies will kind ly step this way well show him an article or two of the feminine varie ty that will tempt him to indulge in poetic effusions.-^-Aiken Standard.

They ought to have sent for a lawyer. A lawyer can get money out of anybody,” says The State. Es pecially a Philadelphia lawyef. We know we’d feel better if we could get that Spring “pome” out of our system, but our readers would probably feel worse after reading it. —o— The State. “Shaving”-would be a better word —o— Thirty-six candidates have already announced for various offices in Barn- Special attention is called ' to the foUrrwing ruling made by the State Board of Education: “The 1». 1. de gree as a basis for teachers certifi cates will not be recognize! by the State Board of Education or l>y any berg County—njqJ. the campaign has i t ’ <>untv of Education after July .not yet been formally opened.
