Blackville, Feb. 24.—An interest
ing affair of the past week was

Priscilla club. In addition to the
club members, Mrs. Todd of Atlanta

ton’s Courtship and Marriage” was

TRADE AT HOME.
The People this week inaugurates a “Trade at HomeiCara-
paign” for the purpose of driving home to the people ^dr Barn
well County the necessity of making every possible purchase
from their home merchants.. It is not' an appeal for charity but
is a straight out business proposition.
, Your home merchant pays taxes—town, county and State—
that go to the support of your schools, your government, the
“fbuiiding of good roads, etc. He is, therefore, entitled to your
preference when you have anything to buy. Every dollar spent
with the merchants of Augusta or Columbia or sent to the mail
order houses of Chicago and New York is gone, never to re
turn. It helps make those grdat cities greater, with no chance
whatever that you will ever again benefit by it.
On the other hand, the dollar spent with your local merchant
is kept at home and will ultimately return to you.
On the last page of this issue will be found money-saving
advertisements from a number of your home merchants, to
gether with a specially prepared article entitled “Mail Order vs.
Home Purchase.” This should be the most interesting page in
the entire paper. From week to week it will contain special
bargains, in addition to vital arguments in favor of trading at
home, in short, it will be a business directory of the real live
business men of this community. It is a personal invitation to
you to visit these stores, and the business man whdse advertise
ment fails to appear therein, or in some other part of the paper,,
tacitly admits that he doesn’t care whether you trade with him
or not. We, therefore, urge you to patronage those merchants
whose “latch-string hangs on the outside."
Read this page carefully every week. It will mean dollars
in your pocket.

A couple of weeks ago, The Peo

original Ku Klux Klan to write a
short article_ telling of his ex
periences during the stirring days
of Reconstruction. The first letter
to be received is from Dr. J. M.
Weekly, of Ulmer, which is as fol

“Dear Editor^-
“In your issue of Feb. loth, I be
came interested in a short piece
headed thus, ‘This would he in

Messrs. H. J. Phillips, Josh Baxley
and Allen Brown, of Barnwell, Owen
Riley, of Denmark, and a Mr.
Winters, a travelling ^salesman, had
narrow escapes from serious injury
and possible death Thursday night
of last week, when a Dodge sedan in
which they were en route to a dance
at EUcnton turned turtle a short dis
tance West of Snelling. The acci
dent occurred when Mr. Riley, who
was driving, tried to avoid hitting a
wagon that was on the wrong side
of the roaj and was forced to turn
his steering wheel so quickly that
the car over-turned. Every glass
wa sbroken and the top demolished
and how any of the occupants es
caped serious injurs- is one of the
unexplained’ miracles of modem
times.

Have you ever tried to picture for yourself the civilization
that existed before the time of David, second king of Israel?
Have you tried to imagine the kind of clothes people wore 3,500
years ago, the kind of furniture they used?
Over in Egypt, in the valley of the Nile, there was recently
opened the tomb of Pharoh Tut-Ankh-Amen. the ruler of Egypt
3,500 years ago, and inside this tomb there was found vast
quantities of things that picture the civilization of the ancient
