i THE BARNWELL PEOPLE Ured at the post office at Barnwell, 8. C., as second-class matter. JOHN W. HOLMES 184^0—1912 B. P. DAVIES. Editor and Proprietor. THURSDAY,. APRIL 27TH., FINISH THE JOB i 4 4 4 4 r J. i i Success of the Victory Liberty Loan, the fifth government war loan, will depend largely on the savings of the people of the nation. To insure its success, we must save NOW—to practice anew the • great lessons of the war, thrift and economy. Aside from the loss of respect for our- •elves as a nation, every family will toe unpleasantly affected, if the com ing loan is not fully subscribed. Uncle Sam’s war exchequer Is compelled to •pend money to maintain the army of occupation, to rehabilitate the wound ed. to bring home the victors and to carry out the program of reconstruc tion. This money is being borrowed from the banks of the country, and Uncls Sam is issuing short-term certificates of Indebtedness in anticipation of th« coming Libsrty Loan and of the fed •ral Income taxes W the banks were not speedily paid back, their resources would be gone, and as they could make loan a credit operations would b« hampered and bnslnse stagnate How about It? Will we finish our Job—that of paying the war bills, as immortal heroes finished theirs of vanquishing the Hen? They were not quitters even when called on to make the supreme sacrifice Will we he quitters, when there Is all to gain and noth tag to lone? A little saving now is aH tt will eoat ead this saving will mean a stronger #np oa the future The Victory Lib erty Ixmr will euan he offered Will be reedy to do your pert? • The other day a vtailing lady wished to hire a colored boy er man to do a little wort at eoe of the local She was driven to e (-Were* ch*~ would be a lamel—la Barawoll. whore sev eral “eona of root" were busy at their of dew that an le iatice e little job of work, they re- haetily mie the security of the ly at eae of their to tttkie the Jeh. The foolish key. le the work, quitting the Job It was only half roaapleted AA day or two later, the writer walk mg doom the street and overheard • diecharged negro soldier boasting U two er three companions that “a man to Allendale” had offered him a "pooltiou” at IlM a month and want ed him to start work at once, and that he (the negro) told him (the man in Allendale > that he would let him know about it later." Three are only two of the many inaiames that could be cited showing the distressing condition that exists among negro labor, and should be a warring to those in authority that • unless they promptly enforce the va grancy laws worse conditions may be expected later on. If these negroes are not willing to work for individuals at reasonable wages, make them do public work for their “board and lodg ing.” Give them their choice of work ing for pay or working without it. Every town has its advantages and should make the most qf them.'Every town is peculiarly fitted for some one enterprise more than another, and as soon as it is ascertaineti what would be most conducive to the growth and prosperity of the place, the citizens should take hold of the matter and push it for all there is in it. One man cannot make a town. The news- phper cannot do it. But one man or a newspaper with the help of the wide-awake men of the place all pull ing together can make a wide differ ence in a place. Every man who suc ceeds in a town is a help to it. The more money he makes if he spends it, the better for the community. The larger business he builds up, the more he advertises, the more attention is called to the town. A man cannot build up an honorable business in a town without helping the town. A town cannot build up without helping -the country. The interest of one is the interest of all. The rivalry that sometimes exists between towns in the same county is short-sight policy. V A majority of the people of Barn well were delighted some time ago to see “No Parking Here" signs dis- made to prevent the parking of ve hicles on that narrow thoroughfare, and collisions snd near-accidents oc cur with alarming frequency. Soon er or later a serious, accident will happen. There is much truth in the old axioms that “An ounce of preven tion is worth a pound of cure” and “There’s no use to lock the stable door after the horse has been stolen.” • Large Crowds Attend. Large crowds, including a number of visitors from neighboring towns, attended the four showings of the U. S. Government’s moving picture, “The Price of Peace,” at the Woodland Theatre Tuesday afternoon and night. The picture is n wonderful production and gives a very good' idea of the enor mity of the task that Uncle Sam tackled when he declared war on Ger many. Episcopalians Elect.

The Atlanta board of’edu<*atlon st a rirrnt regular meeting revomed Its ac tion which ordered the reading of the IMhle and repeating the Lord’s prayer in the public school* of the city. This action was taken by the hoard after liavlng heard read the address-of the lute Senator Joseph K.

Lawyer's Humor. Mr. Hohenzollern says he prefers not to think of his exit from Germany as a “(light.” While we would like to agree with William, we cannot help thinking of a phrase that occurrs in real estate leases. When a tenant is thrown out for not paying his rent or for abusing the premises the law yers call It “an amicable action la ejectment.”—Collier’s Weekly. » » » .

C., April 11.1919. 4-17-3t THE ESSEX STAYS NEW. . i The frame of the EssexJs as strong as a bridge girder. Road strains do not affect it in the slightest; consequently, the Essex is free from squeaks and rattles. There is no weaving or twisting of the radiator. The Essex remains rigid and firm under the hardest service. Every wearing part is adjustable as well as being w'ell lubricated. The Essex retains its newness. Just ask any of the tens of thousands who have ridden in the Essex and who are so enthusiastic in their praise of it to describe how substantially and quietly it rolls over even the roughest roads. . How often motorists, particularly those with light weight care, have driven miles out of their way to avoid a stretch of bad road, because of the torture to themselves and to the car. But the Essex is affected by no such abuse. Its spring suspension is un usual and effective. Its construction is so solid that even the roughest cobble stone pavements are passed over with an ease that has created the greatest admiration. Its friends declare the Easex has no equal in easy riding quality regardless of the sise, weight or cost of the car. When will you take your ride in the Essex? Any dealer will show you how and why the Essex rides so easily, performs so well and retains ita quiol and rigid qualities. And you will see also a performance of acceleration, speed anil power that la comparable only to the highest powered cootly cars. Easex. which in the five-paasenger model sells at SI396 f. o. b.
