,4 PAGE FOUR THE BARNWELL PEOPF.E, BARNWELL. SOUTH CAROLINA. THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 192S THE BARNWELL PEOPLE Bnt«red at the poet office at Barnwell, S. C 4 , as second-class matter. JOHN W. HfJLMES 1840-1912.. B. P. DAVIES, Editor and Proprietor. SUBSCRIPTION RATES: One Year $1.50 Six Months .90 Three Months .60 (Strictly in Advance.) THURSDAY, FEBKUAUY 26, 1!»2.T .We understand that our “ State officers and employees” spent the rather princely sum of $240,000 last year in traveling expenses. They all must have made a trip around the world. A Trade War Threatened. A trsule war ! threatened between the South and the West. The reason therefor is th'- action of the letfisla- tu'cs in nine Western States in at- tenipiiiut to impo e a^ax on eottoii seed oil pi xluet,. that would prac tical ly |»an them from . tho-e States. Southern Senators in Washington have made vigorous protests against i'r;e proposed tax, which is sai I to have the hacking of lar^O dairy in- lerests. Senator Smith, of South Carolina, made a strong' speecdi in the Senate Satunlay. in. which he warm'd the States in cpiedion against mkinj.' such dnasiic measures and rppealed to the representatives from those States to use their influence to combat the' legislation. He* said that such legislation would he taken by the South as a declaration of it liade war. Such a war,dp the opinion of The People, would hurt the farmers of the Wd-'t vastly more than it would those of the South. Millions of Ichd- l^rs annually are spent by the people of the South for Western products, such as meat, hay. fruit, etc., all of which can In* produced in this favored section. If the South should Ih* forced by a trade war to raise these things at home, it would mean a re duction in the size of the cotton crop with resultant higher prices, to say nothing of the increased prosperity that would come to the people of this section by “living at home and board ing at the same place.” There is noth ing the farmers of the West produce that cannot Ik* raised in the South. Therefore, in our opinion, if it hikes a trade war to make our people do what common sense has failed to ac complish, it would be a good thing for the South. Let the West ban our products if they dare. Retaliatory legislation can easily be enacted. • *• With so many Northern writers taking keen pleasure in maligning the Sour:., it is rc freshing to find a writer who. appreciates the true Americanism of this section. The Dearborn Indcp m : entr-under the caption “I Read in the Papers,” pub lished the following interesting story, recently: . ■ "1 read in the papers that O. - (). .McIntyre, 'onCof the .very hest among syndicated writers, is invading the .South, (Had he is. Wi iters, as a rule, are trangeTy ignorant of the meaning of the South to thi nation. Its racial solidarity will ye* be our salvation. - Mr. McIntyre had an ex pel ienee that illustrates this: leav ing New York, he says, he handed out half a .dollar- through a car window for a newspaper. The newsboy set thumb to nosy, twiddled his lingers and made off with the change. v \t a station in North Carolina, Mr. .Mc Intyre tried the same experiment. The boy handed back *the correct change and said, “Thank you.” The explanation is simple. The North Carolina boy \va> an American; the New York hoy was not. It is good, once in a while, for dwellers in .Man hattan’s foreign isle to make a trip into the United States.” Bridge Clubs Meet. The last pre-Lenten meetings of thf Wednesday Afternoon Bridge Club and of the Little Bridge Club were held Tuesday—Mrs. Solomon Blatt entertaining the former in the morning and Mrs. Chas. A.' Henrley the latter in the afternoon. Intelligent Reading Tf the books which you read are your own, mark with a pen or pencil the most considerable tilings in them which you most desire to remember.

Not so many years ago, the State government cost the taxpayers of South Carolina about $700,000 a year. Now one-third of that amount is spent by “State officers and em ployees" for traveling expenses alone! How long, 0 Lord, must a long-suf fering public put up with such reck less extravagence? “Freedom of speech is all right, but not freedom of screech.”—Aiken Standard. But what the flapper is interested in seems to be freedom of the “peach.” • An optimist is a guy who believes everything that a radio manufacturer claims for his receiving set. A meeting of, the 'depositors of the First National Bank of Allendale, which closed its doors last Fall, was held in Allendale recently, at which time Mr. John R. Vann, the receiver, asked for full cooperation from the depositors and all interested parties for a successful liquidation of the affairs of the defunct institution. “It was suggested that the attitude of those indebted to the bank and the necessity for payment of all obliga tions would ultimately determine what could be realized from their ob ligations either by their free will or through expensive liquidation,” says ^the Allendale County Citizen. Dr. J, E. Warnocke urged deposi tors- to see that their neighbors paid their indeotedness to the bank, as this money was really due them (the depositors). A committee headed by Jas. M. Pat- terson, Esq., was appointed with “full authority to cooperate and assis;. the receiver in the successful collection of the assets of the bank.” Mr. Vann is also receiver for the First National Bank of KaYnwell, whose doors were also closed last Fall.
