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. Carranza until he does something
t t those whiskers.

We readi a long editorial in an ex
change the other day on " Good Way tI
Leave Money,'' referring, we suppose
to a man 's will. T1he best way we evei
heardh of for a man to leave his ruone'
was to spend it before he croaked.
That's the wvay we are going to blow'
in ours. Then there'll be no argy fying.
"'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.

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

If the editor of a paper in Pickens
can be thankful, what ought the rest of
us to be?

Homer Oulla of the Oulla Printery
has offered a valuable prize to the first
person who sends in a correct answer to
the following problem:
"If it takes a 14-months-old wood
pecker with a rubber bill 9 months and
13 days to peck a hole through a cypress
log that is big enough to make 7 shin
shingles-and it takes 165 shingles to
make a bundle worth 93 cents-how
long will it take a cross-eyed grasshop-1
per with a cork leg to kick all the seeds I
out of adill pickle?"
