SUBSC RIPTION RATES: One Year $1 50 Six Months .90 Three Months .50 (Strictly in Advance.) THURSDAY. AUCIUST 28TH, 1924.. Barbers are now bobbers., On Indies Island, Beaufort County, one of the manaKers of election and the clerk are ladies. Just about the time that “bijr bot tom breeches” 'came into style, sail ors asked that the cut of their uni forms be changed. Another thing that wcl. decline to worry about is the refusaliof high of ficers of the navy to change the cut of the sailor’s uniform. We don’t know whether or not the hot weather of last week was due to the heat of local politics, but if such was the case, we’re glad the election is over. And now let’s quit talking ■ about the late municipal election and all co operate with the newly elected city fathers in making Barnwell a better place in which to live. No parallel can be drawn between the women of South Carolina obtain ing the ballot and the little .-poodle running after the automobile. The ladies have certainly shown that they know what to do with the ballot. v When it gets too hot for certain local followers of Izaak Walton to cast a “wicked” minnow or sit patient ly by some limpid stream, we’ll say it’s warm. And that’s just how hot it was here several days last week. We see by the pa [ho - that th< gov ernment is going to try poison ga< on j t’he boll weevils. .

( artfette-Sanders. Do You Believe in Signs? If there is anything ,in signs, John W. Davis will be the next President < f these United‘States. Since the days of Thomas Jeffersoil, every time that election day na^" fallen on November 4th, a Demwrat has been elected President: Andrew Jackson in 1K2K; James Bucanan in 1856; Grover Cleveland in 1884, and Woodrow Wilson in 1912. The only other time that the election has fallen on November 4th was in 1800, before the organization of the Democratic party, but even in that year Thomas Jecerson, the father of the party, was elected by the Houi-e of Representa tives, all candidates having failed to receive a majority in the electoral college. Election day this year falls on November 4th. Another interesting coincidence is that all Democratic Presidents elected sm November 4th have been Presby terians. Davis is a Presbyterian. It has been pointed out, however, that the Democratic Presidents elect ed on November 4th had only one given name, and some will probably urge that Davis drop—either the “John” or the “William.” There is certain dignified ring to the name «*f “John W. Davis” that we are unwil ling to sacrifice to the whims of the ultra superstitious, and b is our pri vate opinion, publicly expressed, that he is going to be elected next Novem ber, John William and all. even though the election should be held on the 13th instead of the 4th. When it comes to polities, the female <f the species is more deadly than the male. wWhhalla, Aug. 22.—Mk«s Swan Carterette, of Conway, and Mr. Horace Kenneth Sanders, of -Ulmer, were quietly married here on August 16th at the Methodist parsonage, the Rev. Mr. Barr performing the~cere mony. Mrs. Sanders is the charming daughter of Mr. and Mrs. G. B. Cart- rettc, of Conway. Mr. Sanders is the youngest son of the late Mr. Elliott L. Sanders, of Ulmer, and is a gradu ate of the university of South Caro lina. He is now science teacher and athletic director of the Burroughs High School at Conway. Mr. :ind Mrs. Sanders will he at home with, relatives at Ulmer until Sept. Pith, when they will return to Conway. The young couple have the best wishes of their many friends. ■W-W' 'l** •* In .Memoriani. K — ag< In -ad but loving remembrance of my dear husband, B.
