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

tain it* supremacy over the- other
towns of the county. 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.

the disease two weeks ago. There be

(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

duties then devolved on us and for the
next few days we were editor, owner,

preparing the ballot. Provided, After
the voter’s ballot has been prepared,
the watchers so appointed shall im

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.

Hudson Super-Six Gained Its Leader

tains It With 60,000 Users
. - ■ , v ■ . ■ * • . ; ■
The records Hudsons made in the tests that prove endurance are just as t
important today as t^ey were when made two and three years ago.
That was the only way then irr which it cuuM-be proved a life ear.—The—
abbuse wdiich only the speedway and the hardest touring and hihll climbing
would reveal in a few hours had to be used to demonstrate Hudson limits
of endurance. Ordinary driving was to slow\ /
Now 60,000 users through every kind of service and neglect are individ
ually confirming what was shown in those tests. They have estabblished -
the leadership of Hudson Super-Six in every way that proves performance -
and long life.
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. <. >

Now that the Question of the loca
tion of the county seat has been defi
nitely settled once more, the people
of the county should forget past dif
ferences and all pull together for the
common good. 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.
