' One Year - _-.$1.50 Six Months * -90 Three Months .60 (Psjnbk in Advance.) THURSDAY, JUNE, 8TH, 1922. The People has been, and is now, an advocate of the plan to have the candidates for State offices bear a larger share of the expenses of the primary elections. While in Colum bia three weeks 4go as a delegate to the State Convention, the editor made an effort to interest members of the State Executive Committee in this matter but without success. The Committee takes the position that the several counties of the State are furnished enrollment books for each precinct and State electron tickets and that this is all that they should expect. On the other hand, the can didates for county offices must • necessarily be assessed in amounts sufficient to cover the cost of all ad- vertising, printing of ballots *(on which appear the names of candidates for Congress and Solicitor, although said candidates must pay their as sessments to the treasurer of the State Executfv** Committee), the building of booths and the pay of managers. Without \ all of these necessary adjuncts the • elections could not be held. That the assessments may prove onerous is illustrated by the situa tion in Marlboro County this year, where the only positions to be filled in the primaries are Judge of Pro bate, State Senator and two members of the House of Representatives. An exchange points out that “the candi dates for these positions will have to pay the expenses of both pri maries, even though there should be no county candidates in the second primary " It will be recalled that the Beaufort County Executive Com mittee refused to hold s second pri mary a few years ago because there were no county candidates to be bal loted far. It baa been suggested that the entrance fees paid by can didates for Coqgress and Supervisor be divided among the counties on whose tickets their names are print ed This is s step in the right direc tion and it is ail right as far as it goes, but it does not go far enough The People believes that the costs of the election should be more equitably distributed among the candidate* for State and county offices, as high feet tend to k*y> worthy poor men from offering for office. Truck crops about Edgefield have been disappointing this season in both yield and price. “But what crop o r undertaking has been a fin ancial success this year?" asks The Edgefield Advertiser^^Or the past two years? And how much longer can the farmers hear the poor yields and low prices? Unless a change for the better comes soon, the world will be faced starvation and nake 1- ness. ' _ 9 The lack of supply of cotton caus ed by last year’s short crop and the prospects of another this year is more than made up by the lack of demand for cotton goods caused by short skirt Styles. The edict is that women’s hair and clothes must harmoniac. That’s why they’r^ bobbing it. Some people go to church more to save their faces than to save their souls. The woman who Kets ready in a minute is worth waiting a lifetime for. It is easy to stab in the back the man who keeps ahead of you. TO RAISE TURKEYS While in conversation one day last week with Mr. J. H. Wall a sub stantial farmer living a few miles from Barnwell, the editor was told by Mr. Wall that a good profit can be made raising turkeys if the proper methods are followed. He said that his good wife has met with such success on a small scale in the past few years that he has asked her to take hhn into partnership . for the ceasing year and promises to tell the readers of The People of his ex- poriences. H« is discouraged with the prospects of ever being able to WIRELESS THOSE A BOON SAYS Mac LEAN « h , ■ ■ Star ia Thickens" Found New In vention Serviceable on Vacation. /. • Douglas MacLean, whose latest Paramount-Thomas H. Ince Produc tion, “ChickeW’ will bo the featur ed attraction at the Vamp Theatre Thursday, is enthusiastic in his de clarations that the wireless telephone Is the greatest boon yet invented for the relief and comfort of suffering mankind. ■ MacLean spends his vacations on the Catalama Islands off the coast of Southern Calfornia. Until last summer his communications from island to mainland were confined to an uncertain wireless telegraph, and a more uncertain mail service, Then the wireless telephone was installed. When the young .star desired to communicate with the Thomas H. Ince Studios he simply took down the ’phone in hfe cottage on the island, gave central the number, and talk ed to his heart’s content. As there is but one wireless line in operation and that is busy a large part of the time with , calls to and from MacLean, the other vacationists concluded that the wireless ’phone service was nothing to boast of and went back to the slower but surer U. S. Mail. Gladys George Is the leading woman in the picture. EASTERLING-MOUNTCA8TLE I 8:30 P. M.
