The Barnwell Sentinel la t week celebrated its^oTthCbirthday. This m is a Rood old aRe for a country news paper or for any newspaper for that matter. The Sentinel is one of the briRhtest countj papers that comes to our desk. Editor R Boyd Cole is a younp man w ith “Rrace, Rrit and gumption” as RevE. A. Wilkes says. Elsewhere in this issue will be found the rules RoveminR the Garris fund for schools. We trust our readers who are interested in this matter will cut these rules out and file them away. If there is a school in the county that cannot run 1(H) days we trust it will at once comply with these rules and get the :iid to which it will be entitled. The verdict in the Carmack mur der trial reached at Nashville Satur day shows that the people of the country generally are beginning to condemn the crime of taking human life. This is the way to stop it. *‘A life for a life” is an old doctrine but a safe one to follow. In those countries where this rule is followed few human lives are taken. It would be so even in our own country. ’This law recognized would be a pro tection evert to editors! ' To keep the record straight on the various embryonic bond peti tions: The first asked for $30,000—half of which was for waterworks, half for school. Died because town council claimed they had already provided for'waterworks. „ The second asked for $15,000 for school straight. Almost succeeded but was side-tracked by number * three. The third asked for $25,000, of which $12|000iwas for school, $5,000 for waterworks and $8,000, pet schemes. Died because citizens feared the wrangles and “chances for graft” in that $8,000. IN RE NEW SCHOOL. , In our editorial last week, we en deavored to show some of the advan tages Walterboro would receive from a new school building—not all. for there are many things this new school would ultimately develop, which would mean much to the fu ture of the town. For instance, we might educate there a generation of unselfish business men who would be 4 willing todo a little every now and t then for the common good. If this building can be secured—and it can be it will be a demonstration of what a little united effort on the part of our people can accomplish, and it will moan other things in the future." Of course it w’as to be ex pected that there would be opposi tion no forward movement is made with ease, there must always be some friction, some pulling back. Walterboro is a little unfortunate in that there are so many who oppose ideas of progress. That is the trouble with us now—it is im possible to get up any plan that will meet the peculiar fancies of every one. . In some communities people merge their selfish ideas, or their individual ideas, into the general idea for improvement, and in such communities we see things done. In Walterboro we have not yet learned the value of team work for as soon as a movement is launched with a purpose of doing something for the common good we see this man and that man knocking it and picking flaws in it, discouraging it and as a rule killing it. We trust, however, the efforts to kill this school bond issue will be unavailing. For Walterboro’s good they must be. Suppose, Mr Objector or Miss Ob jector (or ObjectreasI, you have no child to send to school? Your neigh bor has. He has contributed to your success and helped you to accumu late the property which you think should not be taxed unless you de rive some special benefit therefrom. Then, too. this same precious prop erty will be worth more to you with a modern school than with a continuance of present conditions.

We believe in doing one thing at a. time and doing that well. Let us, therefore, withdraw all opposition to the bonds for a' school which is beyond question Walterboro’s great est present need; secure this and then turn our attention toward these other improvements.
