I •* i w < W; f If- mi m I B » k 'jr r TO THE VOTERS OF BARNWELL COUNTY: * 9 4 . .* f ■ Having learned of a rumor being circulated to the effect that, if elected to the State Senate I would support a measure designed to repeal the bill passed at the last session of the legislature prohibiting the establishment ot a Court House within eight miles of a county line. I take this means of em- phatically denying such a rumor and of saying that such a statement is abso- *5 ' • lutely false* ^ V/ ■ Those who knof< me will, I am satisfied, discredit such a malicious effort to ' y defeat my election, but for fear that others might be influenced by it, I desire to say that if elected I shall endeavor to impartially represent the entire coun ty, without prejudice to any particular section or town and will make any sac rifice of ray time, if such sacrifice be necessary, in the discharge of the duties that would devolve upon me.

A Hun plane came across and French and Amdrican planes brought him down about a mile from where we camped. It Blade me feel a little frightened and I darted behind a big beechnut tree until it was all over. Then we got supper and I crawled into my pup- tent to sleep with a stone for my pil low.

We were between the heavy and light artillery and could hear the dhells going through the air all night long. Some fell pretty close to where we were. About 12 that night the gas alarm rang. I put on my gas mask as quick as I could and that wasn’t very quick, for I hadn’t had any gas drill at all. I kept it on about two hours and almost lost my breath, so took it off. Next morning we were told that there wupX^ny gas at all. Don’t let your mmith water for what we had for breakfast. It was three pieces of bacon and two hardtacks, but it was just as good to us as if it had fbeen lemon pie nr something like that. .We went out on the roads to work that day, making little stones out of big one*. *• That night was the same as the ni^t left there next iborning there when the armistice That night was s happ] happiest that I have spent where, biff lights y ,n, looted sad bells Wb left there ea November Itth ea >ur way up have.

We suppose Southern farmers are in a somewhat surprised atate of mind. For many years they have been urgently advised, especially by North ern friends, that they ought to di versify farming more, reducing their cotton acreage and planting the re leased soil ts other crops. This year, as the result of an especially vigor ous campa.^n, they have reduced cot ton acreage; thirty per cent or so—ac cording to report* so far at hand. • LONG BRANCH PHILOSOPHY • •. • Some of the Town folks have recent ly discovered that we live in Barnwell this is to certify that we have been here since before Christmas, we cant accont for tKe late discovery of our Town friends unless it be that we are poor Bucra from the country and am hard to catch on to city styles we meet lots of I^olks on the streets that fail to speak and it took us quite a while to tell whether they were mad or just putting on more city fashion, and during the time we were receiving our Larnin we mashed our John B clean out of shape as well as bowing and droping cutches all along the way one of our old friends askfed and why did you leave your place, another said put it in your day book as the worst days work you ever done but what we started to tell is our place of residence, we cant say just what the name of the street is it may be quality Row Loafter retreat or green street, a any rate we live at the upper end of Hewsys big cotton patch. We are not dis pleased with the town or its inhabi tants all we seem to ne£d is to learn city style in our youth so we will know how to do when we grow older. Riah Mas.
