THE BARNWELL PEOPLE Snter«d at the post office at Barnwell, S. C. f as second-class matter. JOHN W. HOLNVES 1840—1912 B. P. DAVIES. Editor and Proprietor. THURSDAY,. MABCH- 7TH, 1919. Acreage Reduction. BREAK Barnwell,' S. C. Th« hfnpdsltlon to reduce the cot- ton acreage for 191D is on a par with the questions of education and good roads—there’s really ho argument against it. The need for reduction is so patent that even the most hide bound cottontot will concede its neces sity. Confronted with the surplus of the fleecy staple and an embargo that will not be lifted until peace is finally de clared, the farmer must do one of two things—reduce his acreage or reduce the price. That completely sums up the situation and volumes could not make it clearer. When a merchant finds himself overstocked on any one article he does not lay in a new supply until he has found a market for what he has on hand. For the farmer to go contrary to the law of supply and de mand will mean financial suicide. , The People heartily endorses the cotton acreage reduction movement and stands ready to lend the farmer every aid at its command. This w*eek we begin publication of the list of those who have signed the. pledge to reduce their acreage If you have not already signed up, get in touch with a member of your township com mittee and sign TODAY. Give the speculators to understand that for once at least they are up against a united effort on the part of the South ern farmers to protect themselves— a Solid South with a new meaning. effect on the coton market, as evi denced by the advance in price of the past few days. Do your part to get a reasonable profit on your product. Sign the pledge and— STICK, BROTHEPw. STICK! l Tribute of Respect. J K)M The following resolutions were adopted at the meeting of the Aid So ciety: Whereas, Almighty God in His in finite wisdom saw fit to remove from our midst on Feb. 5th, 1919, our be loved member and sister, Mrs. Rachel Sanders, ' Be it resilved: 1. That we, the members of the Aid Society of the Methodist Church, Blackville, S. bow in humble sub mission to our Master’s will—and while we grieve and sorrow with her children and loved ones, we rejoice with her and them the thought that in leaving this life she has entered into a life devoid of all sorrow and care. -• That we will ever cherish and with just pride, recall her assistance to the Society. That we will long for her presence and ever ready hand to help us. 3. We miss her and we mourn our loss, but we bid her God speed and say adieu with heavy hearts as she Itrarneyg-ffito fheT^TesTTST Tr^mT not made with hands.

A Brief Statement ' • # V About Hudson tjt Automobile History that Motor Car Buyef|s Should Remember NOTE THESE FaJ’TS "WHICH PROVE HUDSON SUPER-SIX LEADERSHIP. THEY ARE CONVINCIN'^ REASONS FOR ITS PREF ERENCE AMONG ALL FINE CARS. An exclusive type motor which so minimizes vibration that automobile endurance has been increased beyond previously known limits. That was proved on the speedway, in hill climbs and in; trans-conti nental touring. Official records accord the Hudson Super-Six first in near ly all worthwhile events. For three years the Hudson Super-Six has leed all fine cars in number of sales. . Its body types forecast the trend of motor design. Note hoW/Cars at this year’s auto shows reveal the influence of last year’s Hudsons. Look_ for the new square lines of present Hudson models to be the generally ac cepted standard of the cars next fall. Then think of the sfervice your neighbor has had from his Hudson Sup er-Six. You must know many who own Hudsons. More than 60,000 are in use. <. * And don’t forget that thousands have been disappointeed each spring because there were not enough Hudsens to meet the demand. Open car production is off while closed cars to meet present demands are coming through. A few dealers have some open cars. Get one now, if you can, if that is the type you prefer. Otherwise you may have to w*it longeer than you want to. Hagood-Jennings Auto Co. MATN~STRECT ~ BARNW ELL. S. C. NOTICE.—I have a atray pig that came tt> my place about three weeks ago.
