THE BARNWELL PEOPLE « ‘ — Entered at the. post office at Barnwell, 3. G* as second-class matter. JOHN W. HOLMES 1840-1912 a P. DAVIES. Editor and Proprietor. THURSDAY, MARCH 6TH. 1919. “Every Knock Is a Boost.’ The Journal and Review gives fcreat 'prominence in their editorial columns this week to a paragraph clipped from - The Barnwell People which follows like this: ~ ; v , 1! “When ‘lovely woman’ stoops so low as to burn in efigy the greatest mortal man the world has yet pro- duced. while that same man was in Europe working in the best interests of stricken humanity, one cannot but wonder if it would be safe to trust the fair sex with the ballot.” A few women did act like lunatics 0 r some* weeks ago when they stooped so low as to commit an act which in my mind is despicable. I grant that. But those women were members of the so called woman’s party composed of only a few hundred women who by no means represent the best and the truest suffrage spirit. The National Suffrage Association numbers more than tw6 million members.' President,tW’ilson to the great ma jority of these women is the embodi ment of everything that is true American, and the National has proved its loyalty. However I am glad to see these two journals at last so in terested in “the greatest mortal man the world has yet produced,” because when the Selective Draft Act was be fore Congress last year some of our Southern Democratic Congressmen and Senators didn’t just bum the President in efigy they did their best to scorch him. At that time these two journals didn’t if 1 remember correct ly teem to think that it wasn’t well to trust these few misguided men with the ballot or with high office. “And it’s w'omen this and women that and everything you please. But woman is observant and be sure that woman s^es.” BESSIE ALDERMAN DUNCAN • The above is clipped from a marked copy of The Aiken Staodard, which, if we are correctly informed, is edited by Mrs. Duncan during the absence of her husband, who is at present asso ciate editor of the Colombia Record. With fear and trembling we venture to reply, but without in any way “hankering after” an argument, know ing that “lovely woman” is bound to have the last word. (Yes, Celestine, we are married.) From the more or less twisted rhe toric in the fourth paragraph of The Standards article, we gather that Mrs. Duncan is taking a rap at the Journal and Review and The People because these two papers did not see fit to tear their hair and let off fireworks over the alleged disloyel (?) action of Congressman “Jimmie” Byrnes when the Selective Draft Act was under consideration in Congress, it being a well-known fact that The Standard fought Mr. Byrnes most bitterly in the last campaign, at least. Now, The People holds no brief for Mr. Byrnes. He was and is most capable of de fending himself and his record against the -(at times) outrageous attacks of his opponents, and that the people of the Second Congressional District did not think that he had done his “best to scorch President W ilson was shown in the result of the first primary elec tion of last Summer, when Mr. Byrnes was reelected to Congress on the first ballot. Nor is there anything on rec ord, so far as we know, to show that Mr. Wilson himself considered that “Jimmie” had done his “best to scorch” him. On the contrary, his letter of July noth, 1918, addressed to then Congressman Carter Glass, of Virgin ia, shows that such an idea had never entered his head. We quote from the letter as follows: “The President re called woman*! party composed of on ly a few hundred women who by no means represent the best and truest suffrage spirit.” but' we are frank to •ajK^thkf *o dong as that jnilitant mi nority insista on makingjools of them selves, ji|st so long will the women as a whole be deprived of the ballot. And now, after having }$d the te merity to risk an "argumerit *with “lovely woman,” we await the de luge. . a FOR SALE.-^-Fine farm, 1,83 acre$, in .asparagus belt, ? miles from WHlia- ton, miles from Elko, S.

Hudson Super-Six Gained Its Leader ship on the Speedway. It Main tains It With 60,000 Users. • The records Hudsons made in the tests that prove endurance are. just as important t;o<jay as they were when made two and three years ago. That was the only way then in which it could bo proved a life car. I’llie abbuse which 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^)00 users through every kind of service and neglect are individ ually confirming what was shown in those tests. They have established the leadership* of Hudson Super-Six in every way that proves performance and long life. j Rival’s Imitations Make It the Pattern Car - -I ^ Every car produceed since Hudson Super-Six desing showed the import- anop ‘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 well, that others look to Hudson. • 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. \ou should speak early to assure delivery. Hagood-Jennings Auto Co. BARNWELL, S.
