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.
So you wAl not be injured in your
“person or property.”
