The Picken Seufill PICENS. C. FEBRUARY 12, 1914. zntrd at Pickens Fastomce aiSecoud Clacs GARY HIoTT, MANAGER The Sentinel is not responsible for the views of its corres pondents.. A square man is a pretty good thing to have 'round. Who was it that said the slit skirt uncovered a multitude of shins? "Make Sun Cook Meals" Headline. We've heard of some sons who cook meals regularly. P. F. Collier & Svn announce the appointment of Mr. Mark Sullivan as editor of Collier's Weekly. We believe that the majority of good women do not want the ballot, and the other kind have no use with it. "Buying jewelry on the ex citement plan," it should be called. There is plenty of ex * citement and very little install ment= before the final payment is-made. 1he plowing records of the erlboys were printed on the g page of the daily papers ure them as they dn the g s, perhaps some ys could be persuaded to take more interest. The postnaster at Easley sure ly must be "off his base." When a letter was mailed in his office a few days ago addressed "To the Sweetest Girl in the World," he didn't have gumption enough to forward it to Pickens. A news item says that "light ning struck a house in which seated a mother and child and spoiled its gable end." The uncertainty as to where our sympathy should be directed is, indeed, perplexing and really embarrassing. Congress is talking a b o u t "docking" Representative Hob son fo'r the time he has been absent from the sessions of that body. As for our part, 'we had rather pay some congressmen to stay at home than to pay themn to attend congress. Master of Accom .;n me ofc probably ie la recognition of the fact that the editor gave ac counts of-all the local events 'in a masterful manner. - . Some millionaires dote on tell ing howthey made their first hundr-ed dollars, because they are on safe ground; but they are -very guarded when telling how they accumulated the many mil lions theyv now possess. The -whole story would make the an gels weep. It is estimated that one-tenth o'f tlie people of the United States -do not get enough to eat, and some "experts" say that only ~-'-~the 'ack to the farm" move -ment can remedy this condition. Let 'the "experts" tell us how a nian who hasn't enough to eat to: get to the country, then they will be saying something worth while. We ask our readers to trade with merchants who advertise in The Sentinel, as far as pos * sible, because it is through the advertisements that we are able to publish a paper at the small price of one dollar a year. And, ~then, merchants who advertise sell more goods than merchants who do not advertise, and conse quently haye newer and fresher goods at all times.

We hope it will put the aspi rants for the legislature to think ing and may be the means of modifying or gi .ing us better laws. First-We believe that magis trate's jurisdiction should ex tend to $300 or ninety days, or both. By so doing our court ex Denses would be curtailed from the fact that all parties concern ed in a criminal case are gener ally closer to the magistrate than to the county seat, and a case could be heard by a magistrate perhaps in two or three hours, while it would no doubt take two or three days in the court of general sessions to get to this case. All this time witnesses are lying around the court house at the expense of the county or state. Allow the magistrate a living salary, so he can devote his entire time to the office. Put him under bond for tb6 faithful performance of his official acts and the money he may have in his care. Let the people elect or the governor appoint no man to the office that is not worthy of the judicial robe. Next, plit the magistrate's constable under a heavy bond and let him be sworn in, as all 3ther officers. Let him be ap pointed by the governor through a petition from the qualified voters in the township where the magistrate's office is. In case he fails to discharge his duty, let the voters petition for his removal, and if any damage re sults from his official acts, let his bondsmen be liable. Again, make it a law that if any man is brought the second time before a magistrate for any crime and found guilty, sentence him to so many days and no fine. Arrange the law so every magistrate in a county shall know who has been tried, the crime and sentence of everyone who is tried for at least once a month. By so doing the crim inal will be known when he is arraigned the second time. Then the concealed weapon law. Make it punishable for every person, rich or poor, big or little, to the amount of $5300 fine or six months on the gang for the first time a conc, aled weapon is found on their person, and twelve months without any fine for the second time. Every con it, setting forth his occupation and extending to a period as long as he is in that official ca pacity. Let him pay a fee for same, the money to go for issu ing said license as far as neces sary, the remainder to the pub lic school fund. Put said peace officer under a heavy bond. By so doing we don't believe so many murders would be com mitted. A mean, low-down character can stick a 75c American Bull dog in his pocket. go out and kill a poor, defenceless man. He can get some one to swear for him, and the chances are he is acquitted of murder. Thirty days or $100 is the limit. W hat does he care for that? Talk about dog laws! We need a dog law, but it is a law to punish a two-legged dog without a tail, We hope some g ood man will advocate just such laws as these in the next campaign. If so, we will do all we can for him, let him be a Bleasite, a Jonesite or Tillmanite. With such laws as stated above and then execute them, there will be no need of rural policemen. We believe it is a good thing for the voters of our county to express their differeznt opinions about the needed changes in our laws. By so doing it would en able our delegation to be in a better position to know what is wanted. J. ALONZO BROwN. Let us do your printing. ABANKED DOLLAR SAVED LYOUNEED ]T 'esents itself.

Sunset Notes Editor Sentinel: As I hav en't written anything for your valu able paper for a long time. I will try to rake up a few items. The health of the community is generally good, except for coughs, colds and croup among the children. Crops were extra good last year, especially the corn crop, and all brought fair prices. Our farmers have a lot of land turn ed preparatory for another crop. Mrs. Bright R. Gilstrap died at home Janurv 21, after an illness of three wceks. Drs. Kirksev, Cannon and Valley and friends and neighbors did all that was in their power to save her life, but all to no avail. She was buried the day following her death at Antioch Baptist church. Revs. J. R. Meece and J. C. Bailey conducted the funeral services. She was and had been a consistent member of Antioch Baptist church for several years. She leayes a husband and ten children and a host of relatives and friends to mourn her death. We can only say, the Lord giv eth and the Lord taketh. and blessed be the name of the Lord.

It helps to re feel better for a few days, but if you do not feel much better and stronger before you have taken a quarter as much as you have of other medicines that have not helped you, we will gladly give back your money. Rexail Oliv e Oil E mulsion con tains pure Olive Oil and the Hy pophosphites which,though they have long been endorsed by suc cessful physicians, are here for the first time combined. The result is a real body, nerve and blood - building food - medicine that we believe is superior to any thing else in overcoming debili ty, weakness and liability to dis ease, and to tone and strengthen the nerves and enrich the blood. You who are weak and run down-you who are often troub led by various cold weather ail ments, use Rexall Olive Oil Em ulsion to get and keep well and strong. It is a sensible, pieasant tasting aid to renewed strength, better spirits, glowing health. If it doesn't help you, come and tell us and we will give back your money.

BGS, MAS A Brief Autobiography Of An Ex-Slave I was born 69 years ago on n master, Elihu Griffin's. planta tion, four miles north of the present Pickens Court House, I have no recollection of my fa ther. My mother, Tibitha, had eight children.one girl and seven boys, all of whom have passed into the boundless beyond, in cluding my affectionate mother, save West Griffin and myself. MV boyhood days were spent in slavery. I was about 18 years old when freedom was proclaim ed. In 1863 I was engaged in constructing fortifications and breastworks about Charleston and its suburbs. I saw many sharp skirmishes between the~ Union and Confederate soldiers. I rejoice with the entire hulmar family and this great republic that that sad and bitter period e past and only remembered by about a month. I saved them every one. My mother kept my maste'r's silver money during this time and saved it for him, and when the Yankees ha d gone she turned over every dollar To him. April 2, 1867, I was married to Sarah T. Sizemore by Rev. B. Holder (white). There were 1 children to come to my home, eight of whom are now living. In the fall,fourteen years after my marriage, a revival was in progress at Cold Spring~at which I was happily converted and im mediately joined the Baptist church there. My membership now is at the Griffin Ebeneezer Baptist church. God has wonderfully blessed me with a powerful constitution, If it has been injured, I confess that I am the sole cause from my free use of bad whiskey, but through God's grace I have sworn off. I have endeavored in my pri vate and public way to be a use ful man to my race, the white people, and my country. Thru my indefatigable efforts I organ ized the first colored Free and Accepted Masons at Pickens C. H. Four years ago I organized the ex-Slave Reunion and have been its worthy president for three years. I was at the head of the movement to obtain land to inter our dead. Through that means the colored folks have two acres at Secona. I have the greatest respect for myformer master's relatives and the white people. They have been kind, genero is and helrfiul to me, I have no malice nor hatred in my heart for or against anybody, white or black. I know I am saying a great deal, but I claim to be a true and hon est Christian man, and only such an one can say and mean such. I trust, therefore, all men who read this, whose life is not in accord with the teachings of the whole Bible, will become a= prdfess to be, a Christian. "DR." B. P. GRIFFIN.
