The P l .Se tiiie] PICKENS, S. C, -MAY 21, 1914. niterd at pickens Postoffice as Second CIas Mail Mat~er. GARY HOTT, MANAGER The Sentinel is not responsibl< for the views of its corres pondents. Preventable diseases are bon of ignorance. The United States senate car catch the measles, even if the' are slow on catching up wit! legislation. We sure wouldn't like to b4 in that man Farron's shoe when the Colonel gets bact from Brazil. Mexico produces one-third o: the world's silver, a large per centage of its gold, and 100 pe: cent of its laziness. After dodging the measle for some fifty-odd years, Sena tor Simmons, Democratic lead er in congress, has a full-blowr dase to wrestle with. We hope South Carolina edi tors won't get so wound u the political ga hel will overloo r conventioi to be held-at Chick Springs ih July. erchant cannot omit hi vertising without the fact be ng "noticed"-to his disadvan tage. If he could, he could als I his store for awhile nov an,,a s"save expense." It is said the A. B. C. z'nedia tors contemplate eJimninatin Huerta altogetier. Just a, well do away with the othe: wd also, and make a cleai weep. There's not much dif erence in the tactics of eithe: f them. Thomas A. Edison is at i again. He has not got any thing new in the electrical line but he has had asign put up ii his factory in New Jersey whici * reads: "'Cigarettes Not Tolerat ed. They Dull the Brain' - Bully for Edison. Governor Comner of Alabama did liot live up to the name. H< was as badly beaten as wai Hobson. This seems to be ai "off year'' for demagogues anm agitators. Somue more of their will get it "in the neck" thi: summer, it is hoped. "Mr. Dooley" says "it take more skill and courage to man oover a newspaper in the Souti thin t' sail a battleship througl Hell Gate." And from receni events in South Carolina it wil be seen that "Mr. Dooley" ha4 guessed it the first time. The fact that Col. Roosevelt's 1,000-mile river in South Ameri ca, which he says he has dis covered, would have to cross half the rivers in that country cuts no figure with the Colonel. He'll fix that as soon as he gets back to dear old America. A Boston Woman has writteri to President Wilson requesting that when calling for volunteers * for Mexican campaign he spare ther marriageable young men and select spinsters mnstead. She says the latter "would never be missed," because there are 100,000 surplus women in Mas sachusetts. * C. W. Post, the millionaire r~5eakfast food manufacturer, committed suicide in California last week. If there was no re joicing over the event, there was at least a great sigh of re lief from members of organized labor, for Post was one of their bitterest enemies. In fact, he was fanatical. It has come to the knowledge of the department of agriculture that many people, in canning fruit and vegetables, use salicy lic acid to preserve them, and issues a warning saying that it is ur~ed in large quantities in the southiern states; that salicylic acid is a poison, and the depart ment has issued bulletins oro canning and preserving fruil and vegetables without the use of any poisonous powders, and -can be had for the asking. The Inqut Forty-Three Years Old Last week The Sentinel en tered upon the fortv- fourth year of its existence, which is a good. long-life for a weekly newspaper. Though getting up in years, The Sentinel is in a healthy condi tion and it bids fair to remain the chronicler of events in the State of Pickens until the end of time. It is now one of the old est papers in South Carolina. Many men have been at the helm of The Sentinel during these forty-three years. some with more fortune than others, and the people of Pickens county have always supported theii county paper well. Since its establishmenl The Sentinel haE seen many papers born in Pick ens county-some of which were good papers -but after brief struggles for existence they have all died, save one. There ic room in Pickens county for twc good weekly papers, but no more. There- was a time when q weekly paper could be nublished and sold to subscribers for one dollar a vear,but now a papei must have a very large numbei of subscribers to enable it to ex ist and'charge only a dollar a v year for subscriptions. Our old est subscribers have seen the price of practically everything advance, except their county r paper. When the price of cot . ton was six and eight cents a r pound the price of the county paper was one dollar a year. Now cotton is bringing twice that price and the price of othei farm products has increased in - proportion, but the old Sentinel makes its weekly visits at the same old price A man can not h9pe to make much mopey-outof a weekly - newspaver, but there is a certain ascination about the business which few people who have tried it can get rid of, and, then, there are other things which are worth far more than money. The present management has had charge of The Sentinel only - about a year and a half, and in - that time has tried to make the > paper be of some service to this county and, its readers. We have published the best papei we could under the circum - stances, and, we say it modest ly, haye received many compli 3 ments on the paper, every one of r which we greatly appreciate, and i every one has helped us to strive to make the paper better. It is e our ambition to publish foi Pickens county the best county paper in the state. bThe Sentinel now has the larg est number of subscribers in its history, and we wish to thank our subscribers and advertisers for the libE ral support they have given us, and assure them that Iwe shall always try to give them their money's worth-and a Itt tie bit more. Here's hoping that The Senti Snel not only lives forty-three more years~but forty-three times Iforty-three more, and, like some other things we know of, will get better with age. School commencements are be ginning to end. . According to theWilliehearsts, Mr..Bryan is "about" to resign~ again. Has anyone seen one John Lind lately? We know no one has heard him. The first war flurries having blown over, congress has little to say regarding Mexico, but is providing money without stint. The average Mexican half breed thinks he is "dressed up" when he has on a dollar paii- of trousers, a. belt, a fifty - cent shirt, a ten-dollar sombrero, and barefooted. The marines have been in Vera Cruz two months, and Ad miral Fletcher reports to Secre tary of the Navy Daniels that there has not been a single case drunkenness. 'Rah for the navy and 'rah for 'Sephus! Every Sunday the .Greenville News runs a page in their pa per called the "Biliville Bugle," and which the News says is a burlesque on country newspa pers. If they Rad not told us different we would think it a regular part of the News. Rev. Baylus Cade, of North Carolina, many years ago in vented a typesetting machine, and he has been threatening to spring it on the fraternity at any time. Most people who have seen the machine are in slined to make fun of it. If we remember aright, prmnters also tabooed Mr. Merganthaler's de vice, but they don't any more. The Cade machine may get out of the "kinks'' after awhile and be of some use. It took the linotype ten years to get to Iwhere it was of any practical benefit, but it has won out. sitive Pup List of Jurors For June Term of Court The first term of court to be held in Pickens since the new Thirteenth circuit was created will convene the first Monday in June. with Judge Mauldin pre siding. This will be the court of general sessions and there will be an extra heavy criminal docket for Pickens county. Three murder cases and several cases for violation of the dispen sary law will come up at this term.

There'r will be no civil cases this term. e Following is a list of the petit jurors drawn to serve at the r June term of court: s S. J. Crane, J. Bennett Powers, t John I. Williams, W. D. Sitton, t Wm. C. Keith, Jr., T. Bennett Owens, W. R. Price, R. C. Robinson, John T. Bratcher, P. G. Bowie, W. C. Newton, J. T. Richey, C John T. Lewis, Jr., Charles G. Foster, t J. D. Mauldin, Col.

"Mule runs away, injuring owner," says a headline in a C NdrthCarolina exchange. What ( kind of mules have they got t across the line, any way? It's ac wonder it didn't laV down in- t stead of running away. If Huerta should make up his f mind to join ex-President Diaz. C in Paris, it should l- borne in! mind that the old ruffian owes Uncle Sam one salute of twenty- E one guns, and should be made e to pay up before he leaves. I Being a member of congress| these days is not the "snap" it once was. The Professer keeps.c them busy all summer so thy miss the ball games, and in the:' fall they have to tango back'c home to fix it up with the dear pee-pul for another term. r t t An ex-policeman in Cinci nati, 0., is having his head ex a mined in order to try to find out why it-is he just can't help be ing a thief. He steals anything he gets his hands on, from bunches of flowers to a black smith's anvil. But there are others. A. man in Wilmington,~ N. (2., has been arrested for stealing a house and moving it away.. t The supreme court of the Uni ted States has finally settled the long-standing dispute between i the District of Columbia supreme c court and the American Federa- c tion of Labor. Three of the lat ter's officials wvere tried for con- c tempt of court and seritenced to various terms, b)ut in each case an app'eal was taken. Finally the supreme court threw the case: out of court on the ground that. the statute of limitations barred: the decree from being put into effect. This ends one of the hardest and bitterest legal bat- I tles ever fought between capital I and labor, and labor won. The, judge who imposed the sentences' , in the lower court is being in vestigated by congress and may 1 be impeached. "At Cut t . PikesHad aCo a.; Pak JOHN G. CLINKSCALES Candidate for Governor He stands for peace and har ony; for the unification of 'outh Carolinians for the com on good work for the welfare f all; for the faithful enforce aent of law: and for universal ducation. He stands for less criticism, tore charity, a get-together pirit, and a pull altogether for hose things that make for ma erial, intellectual, and moral rosperitv. He advocates a radical change if our whole tax system, and to hat end believes that a commis ion composed of intelligent, pa riotic citizenus should be ap iointed, whose business shall be o study thoroughly the whole ubject of taxation, and formu ato a plan that shall more even y and equitably distribute the arden. He knows that a lawless peo le can never become a great iople. He believes that much f -the lawlessness with which arolinians are charged is due to he all- too-frequent miscarriage f justice in our courts and to he lax administration of the aw that iivites mob violence. le stands. therefore. for a rigid, earless enforcement of all laws n the statute books-good, bad, ad indifferent. He believes that the veto pow r should be very cautiously, ;paringly, but conscientiously sed: and the pardoning power ever, except by a majority of n intelligent pardoning board. He believes that the governor f a commonwealth should be he governor. of all the people, ithout regard to class, creed, or ondition. He believes in persistent, unre nitting effort to develoi with he least cost to our citizens the housands of acres of swamp ands in our state. He would foster any enter ise that makes for the devel pment of his niitive state along ay line. More than all else, he ~would .-ork for the development of our ~oblest possession-the boys and ~is around our hearthstones.

Revival At Alice Mill In a letter to Presiding Elder Kilgo, who is also editor of the Southern Christian Advocate, Rev. J. D. Holler of Easlev writes: "It would do you good to see Alice mill congregation and to be present at the prayer meet ing service, superintendent 'and all bossmen with religion, a great state of affairs. ="Our meeting was very much like the camp meeting days past and gone. Folks cried, prayed, And shouted. Sixty nine united with the churches I by letter and by faith. I hand ed names of thirty-five to the Baptist pastor, one to the Pres byterian, two to the Wesleyan, and kept thirty-one for the Me thodists. I have received eight een into the Church by profes sion and have eight or ten more." Most Prompt And Effectual Cure for Bad Colds.
