HOLMES 1840-1912 Charter No. 11287 Reserve District No. 5 report OP CONDITION OF THE v ; NATIONAL BANK,- B. P. DAVIES. Editor and Proprietor. THURSDAY, MARCH 20TH, 1919. “More Logic.” Under the above caption, “E. A. G.” goes “over into Macedonia” to the help of the Aiken Standard’s editor in reply to The People’s editorial of week before last. The writer quotes the following excerpt, “but we are frank to say that so long as the militant minority insisto on makirig fools of themselves, just so long will the wo men as a whole be deprived of the bal lot,” and holds up his or her hands in holy horror, aghast at the idea that an editor should express such an opinion. And herein is where “E. A. G.” jumped at conclusions. In the excerpt quoted, the editor of The People was not ex-^ pressing an opinion but was merely stating a fact, ^e venture the state ment that neither “E. A. G.” nor Mrs. Duncan herself will deny that the out rageous campaign carried on in Wash ington has hurt the cause of woman Suffrage almost beyond repair, and our statement that “so long as the militant minority insists on making fools of themselves, just so long will the women as a whole be deprived of the ballot” is amply supported by the recent vote in Congress, when the Susan B. Anthony amendment was lost by the narrow margin of one vote, following the burning in effigy of President Wilaon on the Sunday pre vious. We believe that but for that and other disgraceful affairs Congress would have granted women the right to vote. Hence, M E. A. G.’s” criticism of The People is, it seems to us, out pf order. at Barnwell, in the State of S6uth Carolina, at the close of business March 4th. 1919. RESOURCES.

At least, that is what we gathered from a signed editorial in last week’s issue I of that more or less esteemed contem porary, in the course of which our re ply was characterised as a "defense.” ^ J The Lor^ help you. lady^we done 1 nuehml-thatrequires a defense. As The Aiken Standard's ally says, “there are many arguments against the woman securing the ballot which are well worth attention,” chief among which is the old-fashioned, solidly * founded convictions that s woman’s sphere is the home, and for the infor mation of our critic we will state that that is both a fact and our editorial opinion. Since men have made such a mess of politics, if we act on the theory that “the female of the species is more deadly than the male,” would it be safe to trust the women with the bal- tot • (“E. A. G.” of the Aiken Stand- '^kther." ' * tip*— uols that this is a ques- Ifary.

But present Hudson leadership does not rest upon what it has done in establishing the best time for one hour, or for onediundred miles, or for its twenty-four hour perfor mance; or for having made the best time ip the greatest hill climb that was ever held, when it climbed to the top of Pike’s Peak. The Super-Six is not distinguished be cause of any one notable performance, although it holds more such records than any other car. The greatest proof of Hudson leadership is shown by the way in which 60,000 Super-Six owners are satisfied with their cars. < * .’-f' • ^ r - / Acknowledged by all Rivals ♦ Hudson body designs too are the standaid of motordom. Everyone in touch with motor car development knows how the Sedan, the Touring Limousine, the Speedster, the Cabriolet, the Limousine and the Town Car, models that first appeared on the Super-Six chassis, have served as patterns for other cars. Hudson owners always get the advance models. * . .. . jt /-> Full production of Hudsons will not be reached before June. Until then buyers of open models will have to sup ply their wants from the limited stocks of those few deal ers who may have such*cars. In almost every locality the Hudson Super-Six is not only the largest in number among fine cars, it is regarded as the fine car. In many sections it is the only fine car Jo be found. VJ .

STOMACH TROUBLE Mr. Marion Holcomb, of Nancy, Ky^ says: “For quite a long while I suffered with stomach trouble. I would have pains and a heavy feeling after my meals, a most disagreeable taste in my mouth. If I ate anything with butter, oil or grease, 1 would spit it up. 1 began to have regular sick headache. I had used pills and tablets, but after a course of these, 1 would be constipated. It just seemed to tear my stomach all up. I found they were no good at ill for my trouble. 1 heard THEDFORD’S . ■ Black-Draught recommended very highly, so began to use it It cured me. 1 keep it in the house ail the time.
