Picklns Sentinel PICKENS, S. C.: FEBFRARY 19. 1914. Rutred at Pickens Fostomce saSecond Class GARY HIOTT, MANAGER The Sentinel is not responsible for the views of its corres pondents. In a few weeks our subscrip tion list will be placed on a cash in-advance basis. There are several reasons why we will make this change, chief of them being that we cannot profitably publish the paper for -one dollar a year on time.. We are sure that not one of our subscribers wants us to lose money publishing The Sentinel, and we do not want to lose a subscriber by this change. A great many of our subscri bers now pay in advance, and it is better for both The Sentinel and the subscribers. "Hell" seems-to be Governor Blease's favorite word. However, Raine, the Memphis bank wrecker, does not put the blame for his downfall on his wife, or someone else's wife. Pickens is too quiet for any ," chirps the Easley Prog Oh, well, the passenger I stop in Pickens, any olden days did a tl h he would his jacket, w en every knew he meant his panta loons? Tillman and McLaurin shook .hands in Columbia last week; Blease and Grace shook hands - Charleston Thursday night, and it snowed all' over South Carolina the nexT day. It is every man's duty to him mily, to his busi ness, to buy where he can buy cheapest, to spend bis dollar where it will bring him the big gest value in the goods he buys. A man who recognizes these truths -or a woman -should trade with those merchants who advertise in The Sentinel. Lumbeiing is the second most important industry in South Carolina. . The value of its pro ducts is not less than $15,000,000 annually. Of this sum, about $3,000,000 represents the value of th3 timber before it is cu h rem~ainder, apprcsi:e> K12, 00.000. is the cost of manufac ture, whichi goes proecirly in wage~s to the cmity. This industry employs over 15,000 wage earners, many of whom are skilled laborers. Government secret seryice of ficers discovered a counterfeiting plant -in ful! operation in the venitentiary of Missouri some time ago. It was being operated by a man sent up for five years for fore'ery. He was a plumber and was employed at that trade in the prison. That's a queer place to look for the making of the "queer." but Uncle Sam generally finds them, no matter where located. A similar plant was also unearthed in the base ment of a church in Nebraska. A great deal has been said by the newspapers of the country about the profit-sharing plan re cently inaugurated by the Ford Automoble company, of Detroit, Mich It is a radical departure, of course, but nevertheless is wholly compatible with sound business policy and prosperity. Mr. Ford is a firm believer in the theory that justice, like charity, ought to begin at home. In his announcement he explains that, ~n the~ company's opinion, labor is not getting the return it is en titled to under the ordinary wage system. He believes it should get its fair share of the dividends or profits. An eight-hour day is certainly an improvement on the sactimonious welfare schemes which have been widely her ald ed at different times as a panacea for industrial unrest. e w VES OFA( A XAN ffml a i e ?1serve the morals and educatioz must see to it that THEY SH of he ' his dear ones than 1 Swil rvide against sickness and SHOULD HAVE A ~- -~ -~ Civil Service Exan= nation for Carrien The United States Civil Ser vice commission announces at open competitve examination or March 14, 1914, at Pickens, as E result of which it is expected t< make certification to fill a va cancy in the position of rura carrier at Central, S.
