■VI] g.. -V V* • N* ■ ' |) THE BARNWELL PEOPLE Enured at th« post offks at Barnwell, 8. €., as second-class matter. JOHN W. HQLMES 1840-1912 SUBSCRIPTION RATES: One Year $1.50 Six Months .90 Three Months .60 (Strictly in Advance.) B. P. D4V1B8, Editor and Proprietor. THURSDAY, APRIL 3RD, 1924. Afraid of McAdoo? The People cannot be accused of i>e- J injr an over-xealous supporter of William (». McAdoo for the Demo cratic nomination for President. We believe that he is a jjr‘*at man and a preat leader, but there are certain policies of h»s that we cannot en- <torse. There is no K a m-sayinK the fact, however, that to date ho is the strongest contestant for the nomina- nnd, unless a dark horse is Ttominated at the New York Convert* lion, w^U easily defeat the othe’* two announced candidates—Oscar W. Un- * tlerwood, of Alabama, and James A. Reed, of Missouri. Recognizing in him a formidable opponent of the Republican nominee, the attempts of Republicans to discredit him are amusing, to say the least. In spite of the fact that in every instance in which the people have been given an opportunity to tegister their choice in “preferential primaries” McAdoo has been the winner, The Saturday Evening Post has the temerity to suggest that the people are against him, Which remids us of a little incident **■ that happened on election night here several years ago. It was the close of the memorable Manning-Bleaso campaign and all votes had been ae- tsmnted for except a few thousand. Manning, we believe, was leading Blease by some 5,000 ballots. Even ' had all of the remaining votes gone to the defeated candidate. Mr. Man ning would have been elected. At about this time a telephone call came in from a neighltb'ring town, inquiring atxmt the result of the election. It happened that a supporter of Mr. Blease answered the phone. In an swer to the inquiry.*he replied that “Ma nning is leading Blease aboat f>,000 votes—looks like Blease is elected.” It is very apparent that the Re publicans are afraid of MeAdoo and are doing everyhing in their power to prevent his nomination. Howeve>, it would appear that the Republicans have gotten themselves into such a mess of graft and betrayal of trust that any man the Democrats choose to nominate will be a winner this year. soention, the latter asks the Secre tary some pertinent questions that we venture the prediction will go un answered. One of them is an item oJ 51P',aOO bales of cotton that the*de partment added to its figures “to balance” and which to date it has been unable to satisfactorily explain. An other is that the Internatioal Spin ners, in a report on work# supplies and consumption' showed a smaller amount of approximately 1,000,000 bales than was shown by Mr. Hoover and his department. No small part of the draptic decline in the price of cotton in the past few months is at tributed to the department'^ reports, which many cotton authorities de clare are erroneous and which have cost the cotton farmers of the South millions of dollars. No adequate reason has yet been given as to why the price of cotton should be less to day than it was a year ago, in the face of an acute shortage and a larger consumption. The People hopes that Mr. Hoover will soon travel the road followed by Secretary Denby and Attorney Gen eral Daugherty, two other members of Mr, Ooolidge’s cabinet. In Memoriara. In answering a complaint frorflf Secretary Hoover, of the Department erf Commerce, relative to misstate ments by President J. S. Wanna- rnsiker, of the American Cotton As- - Blackvilie, March 30.—In sad hut 'oving remembrance of my dear grand mother, Mrp.

' . v - As the lonesome rain was falling all by her bedside was quiet and calm, she heard a tender voice calling— Come on I’ll take you home. Only a few houvrshe Imre in pain, Waiting for cure that never came. But as God knuweth all things best, He stilled her pain and gave her rest. To-day she is lying in her grave so cold and deep— She’ is resting v ith her loved ones, just merely asleeo. The golden gates were opened, A loving voice said come.
