We hear that. Andrew Carnegie has given away $350,000,000. That's more than some people make in a lifetime. Anyway, we'll bet Mr. Ford has a lot tore fun spending his millions than either Uncle Andy Carnegie or Bro, Rockefeller. Columbia State says Missouri's most rip-snorting prohibitionist is Mr. Fuller Strongwater. Well, that's better than fuller firewater. We opine that most of these jokes about Mr. Ford's peace trip make some people feel like a Ford automobile good and tired. Looks as though Colonel Bob of the 'olumbia State will never recognize Br'o.

"'Only 87 men left out of 1.000 in the Seventh Canadian battalion,"' reads ar Ottawa (Cnnada) diispatch. The dis natch goes on to say that this is the ''grim but heroic" record of Canadian i'egiments in France andi Flanders. If that's the way to make heroes, we'r sure we never will get one of [Uncle Andly Carnegie's medals. November 30, 1895, 20 yeais ago, ac cording to the Charleston Post's "News of Ten and Twenty Years Ago," the play, ''The Fatal Card,'' was an at. traction for that city. That was before the movies carnes in, o f course. But on December 1, 1915,, just 20 years later, the same play was advertised by th< motion picture shows of the city. 'Quit< a coincidence, and also quite a differ ence in the manner of presdnting the play. The Bible speaks of money In days when it was dark, -- When it tells about the dove* Bringing green back to the ark. -xMr. Bryan's dove (talk) also genei ally brings the greenback.

Republicans are making a great deal of noise just now, assisted by a few New York Catholics, about alleged out. rages on Catholics by Carranza troops, blaming it all on President Wilson, of course, for recognizing Carranza. AF to that, how about the outrages, clearly proven, the Catholics committed upor the Cubans a few years back? Repub licans were in then. With this we extend an invitation to Brethren Wallace and Booker to spend Christmas with us here in the incom parable and splendid State of Pickens. "The frost is on the pumpkin," and we agree to stay with you, Brother Wal lace, and help you distinguish between the pumpkins and the mountains up here. We can also feed you on cherry pie even in the winter time, and we can put the buttermilk to Booker until he feels it. We won't mentioi, however, about that porker we killed last week, nor that good cracklin bread, nor that keg of hard cider, nor that barrel of 'simmon beer that hasn't been touched, nor that Pickens county sorghum (which everybody knows is the best in the world). And we might also be per suaded to loosen up with something else for which Pickens is famous. (This is where they decide to accept the invita tion, boys, and it is useless to mention anything else). Come on, brethren, and get over your grouches! Last week The Sentinel carried a story fcom the Easley Progress telling how a lot of natives of that benighted burg were fooled by a whiskey sharper. Which reminds us of a story they used to tell in North Carolina about John Casper, the big distiller of that state, who so recently got into trouble with Uncle Sam and who is now serving a long term in a Federal prison. It was said he ran an ad. in northern papers, in which he agreed to ship "one gallon or pure old North Carolina corn, jug and all, for one dollar." And to clinch it, Mr. Casper had a picture of a jug of whiskey inserted in his ad. The orders came in fast and furious from every! section of the country, and it was a common occurrence for him to ship a car load of jugs a day. In those days raw corn was very cheap, so Mr. Gas per had thousands of one-gallon jugs made at a factory over at MoravianFalls, and he filled them with shelled corn! It was "pure old North Carolina corn," too. Which was some better than the branch water handed out to those Easley boys. They say that's the way Mr. Casper got his start in the distilling business in Winston-Salem. But riches have wings and fly hence, and the pelf acquire(d (lishonestly generally flies the fastest and fartherest, as wvill be seen by the dlownfall of a one-time great whiskey dlistiller.

The Sentinel has received recently several cards and booklets on "The Secret of Good Printing." That's v dead easy one, and no secret at all. Bring it to The Sentinel if you want it printed right the first time. A. H. A. of Central contributes this one: There was a little man. He made but little show; He had a little mare, But she was a little slow; So he gave a little mortgage And bought a little Ford; Then he had a big head. But 'twas hollow as a gourd! Thankful, Too Dewberry Preserver. If the editor of a paper in Pickens can be thankful, what ought the rest of us to be?
