B. P. DAVIES. Editor and Proprietor.
Woodrow Wilson.
Woodrow Wilson—gentle*man. schol
ar, statesman—is dead.
.The announcement of his death,
hourly expected for two days, was
flashed to the wo-Id* Sunday mominK
And carried with it universal sorrow
that tins' great man is no more. To
many, it carried a sense of personal,
bereavement, so closely was he iden
tified .with lives of millions of Ameri
cans. „ w
For more than four years, Mr. W-il-
son was a mast appealing figure.
Stricken physically while, batting for
his high ideals, he fought a game but
losing fight to regain hi.+ health. His
•uncomplaining attitude, his lack, of
bitterness against those who slander
ed him, endeared him to the' Ameri-
van people. .—>—
Mr. Wilson has been referred to
repeatedly of late as “the war presi-
dent.” This would -seem to he a mis
nomer. While he was called upon to
serve as the Chief Executive of this
great nation during the 'World War,
he was an apostle of peace rather
than e.n exponent of militarism.
His place is secure in history. No
thing that The People might say can
add to thd glory r of»h*s achievement,
nor can anything that his enemies
might .say dim its shining lustre.
Woodro^v Wolson is dead.and the
world loses on«* of the greatest men
of all time, but his memory lives on.

“Listening In.”
A large number of the people oof
Barnwell kept posted a.< to the condi
tion of former President Wilson dur
ing the closing days r of his life
through .the medium of thg, radio, bul
letins being issued hourly by ,-^vcr d
broadcasting stations thrpughout the
country, and thousands of his admir
ers kept the death watch during the
weary hours of Saturday night, hop
ing against hope.-that each succecT-
ing bulletin would contain a message
of cheer. And it was- -t-knougb the
medium of the radio that his death
was first known in Barnwell, a mes
sage being received here shortly af
ter 12 o’clock-Sunday afternoon.
Shortly before midnight Saturday,
when all hope had been abandoned
for Mr. Wolson\s recovery, the organ
ist of an Atlanta church rendered
that dear old hymn. “Load Kindly
Light.’’ which was broadcast by the
Atlanta Journal, (doming as it did
out of thej^n through the medium
of thr.t tpysieribus invention, the
radio, it vj'as like listening to a prayer
being waited to heaven in behalf of a
great soul' on the threshold * of the
Eternal. . , \

spirit has l-een given “that^ peace
which the \yorld cannot give."
