Who’s Who in Europe—and Here?
There is a dispute dmbnfr philolog
ists concerning the meaning of the
word “bolshevism.” As the word “Bol-
she means “larger,” and “menshe”
“smaller,” it is usually inferred that a
bolshevist is one vjio favors govern
ment by the majority, and that a men-
ehevist is his political antithesis.
But we learn from a scholar of long
residence in Russia that the word
“bolshevism” means the larger or
more extreme interpretation of the
socialistic doctrines of Karl Marx. This
reconciles the derivation of the word
with the fact that the bolshevists are
by no means in the majority. Eighty
per cent of the Russian population
Ifives them no recognition. The bol
shevists are mostly city laborers who
have given up laboring and entered the
army, where they are much better fed
and clothed. They constitute, in fact,
a military despotism of the type that
existed under the Ciar, but not as well
systematised.
The fact tht the soviet army runs
into seven figures is therefore of no
value as a test of the political leanings
of the total population. The bolshevist
party includes the army, and practi
cally coincides with it. Manufactured
product and accumulated capital on
which the regime exists ts not ex
hausted, but none la being developed.
Nothing much is being mauufaetaeod
New raw material is not being gath-
Deprectation and depletion must

no fuel la left the Are must die And
after that, what? A practical, eye-
tesaaUied despotism esardom. la
fact ? Or democracy ?
questions would have little la-
far as. were It not f
la oar very midst of a
of political
i la in aa ev
tained by ourselves and by our Own
actions and not by others. They may
injure us for a time but public opinion
and justice will correct all groundless
slander if we do not furnish fuel to
the flame by taking valuable time to
deny the charges.
The farmer w ho owns a farm is the
particular person who is fixed. Banks
may fail and factories close, work
men strike and mines suspend, mer
chants fail and towns burn, times
may be panicky and even crops may
be short—but the farmer who owns
his acres will get along. He win live
in comfort and quiet with plenty to
eat, drink and wear. He is the most
independent man on earth. Yet there
are lots of them who do not appre
ciate their situation.

Ws know Easter as one of the two
it religions feetivels of the year
After the •• If denial and sadneaa of
Lent It comes to us as a great >oy.
In being emblematic of the Reeur
reelion it is eblematK of life and hope
And everything in the season when
we celebrate it is suggestive of the
same idea The return of spring and
verdure and bird-life each year is like
the fulAHmcnCof hope
The allies tell us that the peace
treaty will be completed and offered to
the world by Faster. No more appro-
pmitif te found im
mulgation.
After the years of destruction and
suffering which the war has entailed,
—after terror and chaos, we hope for
a new-made world, a world whose in
spiration will be brotherly love and
strong sense of mutual obligation and
helpfulness among nations.
We have not reached the millen
nium. The change in old custom and
thought cannot be immediate. But
the peace treaty is the first step to
ward a w’orld governed by right and
justice. And its completion seems,
like Easter, symbolic of hope and joy.
The People presumes that when the
time comes for apportioning the debits
and credits between Allendale and
Barnwell Counties, the fact that the af
fairs of the new county have been ad
ministered for/Several months of the
present year by Barnwell County of
ficials will not be overlooked and that
some provision will he made, to reim
burse this county from the 1919 taxes.
Although Allendale was legally a
county from the time the Governor
signed the creating act, the newly
elected officers have not yet taken
over the reins of government and
Barnwell County should be entitled
to its pro rata share of the taxel until
they do.
The assistant attorney general has
ruled that Allendale County is entitled j

William M. Terry.
Blackville, April 7.—After a vain
search of the States for a recupera
tive climate, William M. Terry of Bar
ton, Allendale County, succumbed to
a lingering illness on March 28 at the
tome of his sister and brother-in-law,
Mrs. and Mr. George Bradford, of
Blackville. He was ohly 28 years of
age, and being possessed of good bus
iness judgment, high ideals and good
morals, he had a most promising fu
ture.
By hio genial manners and by his
thoughtful attention of all with whom
le came in contact and his many other
beautiful qualities he was loved and
respected by all who knew him. He
)ore his suffering with courage and
patience. His parents, Mr. and Mrs.
J. W. Terry, of Barton, and a number
of sisters and brothers scattered
throughout the State survive him.
The remains.were interred in the
Bethlehem Cemetery at Fairfax in the
concourse of many sorrowing friends
and relatives.

this connection we beg to call the at

fact that one of the sections of the

They Compare the New Light Weight Car
to High Powered, High Priced Automobiles
Essex Performance
• Essex performance is now ta’.ked of so generally among motorists that you
should know what they are saying.
Hundreds of thousands have seen the Essex.
They have admired its costly car appearance. They speak of its complete
ness in appointment and how it differs from other light weight, moderate
pricecf cars.
But they grow enthusiastic over Essex performance. A car at its price and
of its weight was never expected to possess such hill climbing and accelera
tion capacity. The standard it sets has been known onlyiTn' the large high
priced field.
And in speed and easy riding qualities it also mstches the cars which sell
at two and three times its price.
You hear on every side how steadily it holds the road at speeds difficult to
mainUin even with some larger cars. And as for ease of riding there seems
no standard known to motor cars that the Essex does not surpass.
Remember these are not our claims. They are the frank and volunUry
prmiie of tens of thousands. You can find Essex friends wherever you go.
We advertise merely to induce you to ask about Essex and to arrange to
take an early ride in it You will surely become one of its friends. Perhaps
you will want an Essex, and if that is so the sooner you learn to know it better.
