Editor and Proprietor THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 1919. Let’s Get Busy. f /: k: 4 V J The time has come for the people of Barnwell to forget petty pe^8onal dif ferences and all pull together for “a higger. better, busier Barnwell.” / Nothing could have demonstrated- this fact better than the recent at tempt of Blackville to move the Court House, and that effort was not with out real benefit to Barnwell, for it demonstrated that the pepple can get together when they want to. For once at least the entire population was unitedly and whole-heartedly behind a proposition. ; There are just two things looking to the betterment of the community that we will mention this week. One is the building of a modem hotel, the other a new fence around “The Cir cle.” The first proposition will, of course, have to be financed by indi vidual citizens. The other is a matter for the attention of the city fathers. Taking it up first, we might say brief ly that it is an eJSfc-sore, not only to the residents of the town, but to visitors, nearly all of whom park their cars in the main part of town. The present fence is'in a terribly dilapidated eon- dition and should be replaced ^ith an entirely new one. We would suggest that a brick coping, surmounted by an eighteen-inch iron fence, be used. Now as to the hotel. Tftis question hai been agitated time and again, but has always come to naught. The de mand for better accommodations is steadily increasing and unless they are No. >11287. •.

We have heard several discussions of the ubject lately, and in none did we hear a dissenting voice. Many expressed themselves as being willing to take stock in the en terprise without the hope of material gain, but purely in the best interest of the community. With such a spirit it seems that a little energetic work would make the hotel an assured fact. Let's get busy and build it. 13—The Significance of Numbers—23 There is, of course, nothing to the significance attached to certain num bers by the superstitious, hut just lis ten to this: With two members of the editor’s family in bed with the "flu.” the foreman contracted a had case of the disease two weeks ago. There be ing a rush of job work in the office (all job work is “rush,” dear reader, for the same reason that so many sub scribers are delinquent—it is a mat ter that is put off until the last min ute) we had to talu’ off our coat and get busy, a thing that we are consti tutionally opposed to. With the elp of the “dsvil” we managed fairly well for a couple of days, but on the follow ing Monday evert was sick. His duties then devolved on us and for the next few days we were editor, owner, publisher, manager, foreman, thb force and the “devil,” doing everything from necessary, will be held two weeks af- ^e managers for assistance, and the chairman of the managers shall ajfpoint two watchers, represent ing different factions, to assist him in preparing the ballot. Provided, After the voter’s ballot has been prepared, the watchers so appointed shall im mediately go behind the guard rail. Provided further. That if there be no such watchers available, the chairman may appoint two by-standers who are qualified electors to assist the voter in the preparation of his ballot. ter.

Rival’s Imitations Make It the Pattern Car Every car produceed ’since Hudson Super-Six desing showed the import- ance of minimizing motor vibration, as it does with its exclusive motor, has reflected Hudson leadership. First it was mechanical leadership. Now it is in body designing as w r ell, that others look to Hud|pn. This year’s auto shows reveal that influence. Comparison of most cars with earlier Hudson models show it. Present Hudson models in such types a the Sedan, the touring Limousine, Coupe ^and others are regarded as forecasts of what others will offer next fall. When you get a Hudson you may expeect to see a similar type on models which others bring out six months to a year hence. But there is a shortage of Hudsons this spring as there has been every spring for the past three years. You should speak early to assure delivery. <. > Hagood-Jennings Auto Co. / MAIN STREET AGENTS FOR AIKEN. ALLENDALE, BARNWEL AND BARNWELL, S. C.

There should be no bitterness j>f feeling over the recent fight that ended successfully for this place. The present county seat is the logical place for the location of the Court House, being centrally loca ted, having excellent railroad facili ties and the public buildings being al ready here. And that the sentiment of the State^ at large is against dis turbing an old county seat was shown by the vote in the Legislature on the Davis bill.
