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.
State of South Carolina,
County of Barnwell,
Town of Barnwell.
.WHEREAS, by an election held on
the 4th day of May, 1916, cerUin ter
ritory adjacent to the corporate limits
of the town of Barnwell was by elec
tion duly incorporated into the corpo
rate limits of said town, and as the
property embraced in said addition to
said town has'not been returned for
taxes bv the owners thereof,
IT ORDAINED by Council, That
W7,f the owners of the said property,
both real and personal, are forthwith
required to make returns of said
property in the municipal limits of
'said town on or before May 1st, 1916.
The returns herein referred to shall
be made before J. M. Caldwell, tem
porary Town Clerk.
BE IT ORDAINED FURTHER:
That any person, firm or corporation
failing to make the return herein di
rected to be made shall pay a penalty
of not more than Fifty Dollars for
each and every failure to make re
turns at the discretion of the .Council.
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. "Further than that, de
ponent sayeth not.”

Mayor of the Town of Barnwell.

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. (2) aiuiitional mills shall

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'.
