THE BARNWELL PEOPLE Entered at the post office at Barnwell, *8. C., as second-class matter. JOMN W. MOLMES 1840-1912 B. P. DAVIES, Editor and Proprietor. THURSDAY,.APRIL 27,'1916. It has always been the policy of The People to remain strictly hands-off in the matter of county politics, believ ing: that in so doinf? we pive each a square deal and because we have faith' in the desire and intention of the ma jority of the voters to select and elect the best public servants. We have given and shall continue to give sketches of the candidates whose cards appear in The People^ not to influence votes, but for the rea son that many voters in the county do not know and may not form the ac quaintance of all the candidates thaf may be in the race. These unacquain ted voters have the right to be in formed of what we know of the candi dates and it is a pleasant duty to in troduce the vote seekers to the vote givers. Before the election is held there will be time to investigate su$h statements as we may make. We wish you alt mighty well, gentle- AN ORDINANCE.

Done in Council this 19th day of men. - To those who seem to l>e under the iopression that the writer is discom fited over what they think is the sure defeat of Mr. Manning for reelection, we would say that We hold* no brief for the present Governor. He made his race two years ago on the platform of law enforcement, the support of ed ucation in the common schools, a lousi ness administration and everybody’s Governor. Whether Ip- has succeeded or whether he has failed is for the vwtars to say at the hallo! tan. Al fuf us. we are just exactly what we were two, four and six years ago—ANTI- BLKASB.

NOTICE OF ELECTION. A cordance A gentleman remarked last week that he feels very much in sympathy with those German-Americana who have come to this country within the past decade or two. aaying that if he were living in England and that coun try and the United States went to war with each other he would prmnpt ly pack up and come home. That'a the point exactly. Those hyphenated patriots who are continually criticia- mg the President's course should pack up and go home and fight for their Fatherland—or keep quirt on the sub ject. In our capacity as reporter we have alwaya tried to give a fair and impar tial account of pny meeting, political or otherwise. In performing this duty we have not been foolish enough to try to please everybody, for that would be an impossible task. The editorial opinions which have appeared in these columns, however, were the honeat expression of our views and for them we have no apologies to offer. We re serve the same right to express them that we concede to our friends on the other side. The People has hoped that the ap proaching campaign would be devoid of factionalism, as much as a political campaign can be, and that the candi dates would be allowed to run on their own merits, but it is apparent thus early in the game that such is not go ing to be the case. It was hoped a year and a half ago that factional poli tics in South Carolina was a dead is sue, but unless all signs fail the com ing campaing will equal if riot surpass the last in that respect. —o— To the friend (?) who remarked Saturday afternoon that about all The People would have to say in regard to the club meeting was that “a ‘disin- teresting’ meeting was held and the following delegates elected," etc,, the report appearing in this issue is res pectfully referred. If he can give a more accurate account The People will take pleasure in publishing same next week. "What has become of the olcl-fash- ioned sister who looked under, the beef at night to see if a man was there?” —The State. ' Once upon a time she caught him and lived happily ever af ter. Who was it that said all fairy tales begin with “once upon a time?” “What has become of the old-fash ioned boy who always wasted-a penny for an all-day sucker?" asks The State. He now wants a nickel for an ice cream cone. Possibly the poor opinion of Ameri cans held by the Germans is d.ue to' the fact that they have seen some of those long-l^fged atrocities in the clothing ads. u petition having been filed in ac- inoc with st' ti'oh gi-ncv.il school laws of 1912, notice is hereby given that an election will in* held in the Elko school district No. 2« Friday, May 12. 1916, for the purpose of de- termimng whether of pot a Special srhooTlax.

J Y Y Y Y Y T ■ ? Y T Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y v Without a doubt these are the greatest automobile values on the market today. Only large factory production makes the extremely low prices possible in the face of soaring prices for ma terial. The Model 83-B, in size and comfort, is the same big beautiful Overland which even at $800 was the dominant value which outsold any other car of anywhere near-jts size. But the uphol stery' has been improved. The electrical control box on the steering column is operated by but tons instead of switches. It has the very latest en bloc type motor with a smooth flow of abund ant power and an exceptionally fast “pick-up.” For those who prefer a smaller car there is the Model 75 Overland at $670. This is the clas siest little machine on the market, electrically equipped—in fact just a smaller model of the 83-B. 'Now is the time to order your car for immediate or future delivery. I have a carload of these cars in CO-in. tread coming in within the next few days and can take care of njl purchasers. See me and make your arrangements NOW'. Y Y Y Y Y Y v $ I | ❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ J. A.
