11 v V THE BARNWELL PEOPLE Entered at the post office at Barnwell, S. C., as second-class matter. JOHN W. HOLMES 1840-1912 B. P. DAVIES, Editor and Proprietor. -‘ n. - " ■ THURSDAX, MAY 18, 1916. The Real Issue. If ever the voters of South Caro lina needed to keep clear heads it is in the forth coming primaries. On the surface, Blease and Anti-Blease (or Manning and Anti-Manning, if you prefer it expressed that way) is going to be the issue, hut deep down, so deep that scarcely a ripple will be apparent, the real issue is going to be liquor and anti-liquor. The present prohibition law is like ly to remain on the statute books for years to come. The men who own the distilleries know that" and the market for their product is being so curbed by the enactment of prohibition laws in the different States in the Union that they will naturally lend all the assistance in their power to the sup port and election of an administration favorable to their business. When we say “favorable,” we do not mean that the prohibition law will be repealed, but what is a thousand times worse, “blind tigers” will be given a large degree of PROTECTION. Surely the people of South Caro lina have not so soon forgotten the chaotic conditions that existed in this State for the Hour years previous to 1916! Surely they remember the de bauch of lawlessness that was fos tered and encouraged by the whole sale pardoning of criminals of all types, from the pptty thief to the murderer and rapist! Are they, then, To'aTTow^lhemselv'es to be once more hoodwinked by the wily politicians who are interested in the “deer pee- pul" only to the extent of getting their votes ? ' Frankly, we don’t believe it But, in order to perpetuate law and the orderly conduct of government against liquor and a wide-open State, the people of South Carolina who val ue these things have got to ORGAN IZE. As The State points out, “the way to keep the State of South Caro lina out of the hands of lawless liquor men is for the forces of order ly government to get together in ev ery county, organise and stay organ- isd, forget the differences between candidates equally good and true, put out the ablest and strongest men a vailable, especially for seats in the General Assembly and for sheriff, and see that every voter is registered and every vote polled and fairly counted.” The People does not charge that everyone who is opposed to the pres ent administration and the principles it stands for is in collusion with the liquor interests, but we fear that they will allow themselves to be so blinded by factional prejudice that they will fail to see the true issue, play into the hands of whiskey trust and, in their mistaken zeal, defeat the ends of good government. — In making your selection fur 'Gov ernor this summer, Mr. Voter, weigh carefully the results of the adminis trations of two of the leading candi dates and then cast your ballot for the man who in your opinion gives you the guarantee of greatest security in your' business and home life by ‘the fair pnd impartial enforcement of the laws. “Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet, Lest we forget, lest we forget!” • One argument in favor of the con tinuance of the biennial “circus” is that it is “educational,” and yet Curly- headed Johnnie McLaurin asks that an hour be allowed him as a candidate \£or Lieutenant-Governor to discuss^the Warehouse system, whereas the .usual timy alloted aspirants'for that office has been about ten minutes,' Guber- natoridl^ candidates are allowed only 20 to 30\riinutes and yet they are ex pected to nitelligently discuss in that short length\)f time issues of vital in terest to the people of the State. The People dogs not believe that the State Convention will be fooliph enough to grant hisxrequest. * ."7' ‘We know an Edgefield County boy who can sit down beside i^coxv, .with a jug between his legs, and put two streams of milk at one time in the mouth of the jug. He’s made of the stuff that makes presidents and cap tains of industry,” says the Edgefield Advertiser. And we know some meX who can sit down beside a jug and keep at least one continuous stream flowing to their mouths. They’re made of the stuff that makes drunk ards and chain gang recruits. • •••••••••••••a** • . • • BATTLE OF SECESSIONVIU-E * • •••••••••••••••• (Published by .request.) . The following poem was composed immediately,after the Battle of Seces- sionville by the ^ev. Joe D. Peacock, of Aiken County, at that time a young boy: J In eighteen hundred and sixty-one This bloody war was just begun, , Calling for volunteers far and near To leave their families so near and dear. I, for one, will volunteer To fight the Yanks, shofald they ap pear, March to the Field of Destiny To try to gain sweet liberty. We landed in Charleston in a weary fiix, Conveyed to Fort Johnson on the , 26th; Many comrades standing by Looking on with watery eye. • • ... .• ‘ -v ^ . . . N., \ I was one who felt very bad; When I thought of home it made me . sad. But my country called and I must obey And take my part in this great affray. Lieut. Kitchings was called upon To take twelve men and march along. . To Battery Reed we then did go The blood of Southern men to show. The next morning, very soon, On the sixteenth day of June, The Yankees come with force’s© large And on Secessionville did charge! To arms! To arms! We then were called And the Yankees began to fall! Thomas G. Lamar was standing by, “Fight on, my boys, until you die! The battle raged two hours or more. The victory was ours—that was sure Citation Notice.
