Our Christmas Wish.
CHILDREN OF 1920.
By Sophie R. Drew.
To the Readers of The People:
It does not require the occasion of
Christmas, with its joys, cheer and
prevalent wood will, to arouse in us a
sense of the .appreciation due patrons
of The Barnwell People.
Our hearts and minds are filled with
gratitude and pood thouphts for you
every day of the year, but Christ
inas hallows our sentiments and makes
expression fitting and timely.
Such good as we have accomplish
ed and such good as may be tr»c-
Good morning, Mr. Editor, ^
This is Dorris Drew,
I’ve called to have a talk with you.
They tell me Santa Claus is coming,
Just the same, as in the past,
Will he bring a lot of jimcracks?
This is what I came to ask.
Now, I don’t want his silly toys,
Nor horrid things that make a
« noise; "
I do not care for cakes or candy,
And all that kind of stuff.
To hand out things like these to kids
Is surely rather tough.
1 want the very latest airship
All done up in brightest blue.
I want to take a peep at Mars
With a handsome man like you.
I would al«nike a sporty auto
To take across the sA
I want to take a chance at Monte
Carlo -
And dp some other stunts in pay
Paree,
able to our efforts, either directly or^
‘■v 4fld'rtct!y, would not have been possi-1
hie without your sustaining power and My mother says Pm just a kid
cooperation. If in any sense we have
upheld a beacon to light the way to
better things, you have supplied oil
for the lamp. If ours has been a
chariot, yours has been the motive
element which has kept in on its way.
All characters appealing to or en
deavoring to entertain or instruct
the public must be given a. certain
amount of applause, or they cannot
exist. To those who follow- the
Fourth Estate the applause comes in
the interest which readers manifest
in the columns of the paper and an
occasional “Well done” when the ef-
fyrta of the publisher meet with the
approval of the readers. The prac
tical help of subscription and adver
tisers has enabled The People to
maintain a standard of publication;
their encouragement, manifested on
more than one occasion, has fur
nished the degree of pleasure ncces-
^laryias an incentive to our daily
|^at this time of “Peace on
will towards men,” our
jthat the Spirit of Christmas
ly wolrk for you the full degree of
boihrtffulness. May every childish
heart have its fondest dream fulful-
led, and may you continue to get the
same amount of pleasure and benefit
from these columns that we derive
from making them.
The Publisher.
That $10,000,000.00 Appropriation.
And should not want such things;
That I must be contented
. With just what Santa brings;
To thoughts like these I do not hold
For am I not a lady?
I am almost six years old.
So please, sir tell fne where to get an
auto— "
r Where the ship is sold;
Can I buy on
Or must I hav<e the gold?
Will Old Santa Claus be in it
With his dinky little trap,
He’s so very far behind the times
Suppose we wipe him off the map.

Portable Radiotelephone.
The pocket telephone bus been
brought a step nearer by the assem
bling of the necessary radiophone ap
paratus Into a cempact unit having a
weight of Shout 80 pounds. As a po
tential of only six volts to each is re
quired to operate the rectifier and
oscillator bulbs the low-capacity “B-
type” batteries are dispensed with,
according to an illustrated article in
the December Popular Mechanics Mag
azine. » The low voltage required Is
available almost anywhere, as |wo
six-volt batteries are easily procurable
from any automobile bfittery s^rirlco
station. The new unit Is especially
designed for the use of motorlsta.
yachtsmen, campers and Isolated
farms. Under ordinary conditions it
is said that the new Instrument may
be depended upon to operate satlsfac
torily over distances of from five to fif
teen miles.

Torpid
liver
"Black-Draught is. in
my opinion, the best liver
medicine on the market ”
states Mrs. R. H. White-
side, of Keota.Okta. She
conttnues: M I had a pain
in my chest after eating-
tight, uncomfortable feel
ing—and this was very
disagreeable and brought
on headache. I was con
stipated and knew it was
indigestion and inactive
liver. I began the use of
Black-Draught, night and
Morning, and it sure is
splendid and certainly
gives relief.”
JMord's
BLACK
DRAUGHT
For over seventy years
this purely vegetable
preparation has been-
found beneficial by thou-
sands of persons suffer
ing from effects of rtor-
pid, or slow-acting liver.
Indigestion^ biliousness,
ziness, constipation, bit
ter taste, sleeplessness,
lack of energy,*ttin in
back, pufflnesa under the
eyes—any or all of these
symptoms often indicate
that there is something
the matter with your
stiver. You can’t be too
careful about the medi
cine you take. Be sure
that the name, "Thed-
ford’s Black-Draught,” is
on the package. At all
druggists.

THE UNIVERSAL CAR
The Ford Touring Car is literally the pioneer in the solution of the Good Roads
problem, because three million or more in operation brought up to the millions of
America the encessity of good roads in quick transportation at low expense was to be
enjoyed. The simplicity of the Ford car, its stability in construction, the famous
heat-treated Vanadium steel with its marvelous strenght and flexibility, the low cost
of operation and maintenance, its ease in operation, all have made the Ford car the
great favorite in every land in the world. It’s the one cqr that always satisfies and
serves. A utility beyond question that-all can afford. We sell and will be pleased
to have your order. Don’t delay, because the demand is heavy all the time. We
have tlmost everything in motor car accessories, carry the genuing Ford Parts^and
assure the best in mechanical repair work.

The announcement that the various
departments of the State government
would request the General Assembly
for an appropriation of nearly $10,-
000,000, for 1921 has aroused a
storm of protest throughout the State.
In line with the opinion expressed
in last week’s issue of The People is j i
the following editorial from The Y
Bamberg Herald: ^
The state goverment is asking the
next legislature for approximate
ly $10,000,000, a svmj of money not
even heard of before for state govern
mental purposes. Tnis is an .increase
of some three millions or more over
last year, when more than six mill
ions were appropriat’d. We don’t
believe the legislature will listen to
it for a moment. The People who
pay the bills in South Carolina are
expecting the legislature to materi
ally reduce taxes instead of increas
ing them. The purchasing power of
a dollar will be anywhere from 25 to
50 per cent, more next year than it
was in 1920. and yet they are wanting
a fifty ped cent, increase in the ap
propriations. The state, like every
body else, has enjoyed a tremendous'
orgy of spending , hut times have
changed, and so has the value of
money, and appropriations will cer
tainly have to change with them. A
ten million dollar appropriation will
not be accepted by the people of this
state and the goverment mental* heads
may as well revise dtnv award.

A man in New York who was held
up by highwayman a few nights ago
saved his hank roll because of* the
fact that he was wearing two pairs of
pants at the time, his money being
in a pocket in the under pair. But
what we can’t understand is how in
Halifax he had a bank roll left after
buying two pairs of pants.
