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.

Amdrican planes brought him down
about a mile from where we camped.

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

night, for we were close to the front
lines. 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*. *•

Folks iflfo friends, it won’t be long
before I wiM come back to you all
again, for the war is over and they
are sending the boys home every week
and my time is coming.
We have .a little nice weather now.
It raihs about every two days. I sup-
poee the folks are about through
planting their crops. Hope to be
there and see them grow.
I will close my story. It’s not a
very good one, -but thought I would
send a few words to prove to the folks
back there that I haven’t forgotten
them yet.

Cotton Acreage.
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.
