The Home Bank is Riving its cus
tomers some mighty good advice in
that “Pick, Poison and Plow” circu
lar. The People-Sentinel is not going
to argue the question as to whether
or not it pays to poison the weevil
nor whether to apply the poison in
dry or liquid form. That is a question
for each farmer to decide for himself.
But whether or not he believes that

with rapid cultivation, will go a long
way towards making a cotton crop.

Municipal Building
_____ ’ m •
A movement is on foot here to
build a combined city hall, Are en*
gine room and town, jail on ^the site
of the present eye-sore, adjoining the
Court House. ' A committee has been
appointed by the board of aldermen
to investigate the project and report
as soon as possible. It is understood
that the members of the local Are
department have offered to pay a
share of the cost of a room to house
their equipment. This and *a three-
ccll jail would be on the Arst Aoor-,
with the city hall above. The con
struction of the building will be of
brick or hollow tile with stucco Anish.
More details will appear in a later
issue of The Peope-Sentinel.
BARNWELL BOY MAKES GOOD.
The Barnwell Bar Association re
cently endorsed the Hon. Jesse F.
Carter, of Bamberg, for the poet of
Aaaoeiate , Justice of the Supreme
court, made vacant by the death a short
time ago of Justice Thomas B. Fra
sier. The People-Sentinel seconds
the endorsement of the local Bar, be
lieves as it does that no better man
can be found for the position, al
though of course there are many in
the State Who are no doubt just aa
capable as Mr. Carter, who is one of
the leading lawyers of this section.
He is a kindly, courteous gentleman
and has won for himself a warm place
in the hearts of the local attorneys.
On a previous occasion, when Mr.
Carter Was a candidate for Associate
Justice, he led the field for 40 ballots,
finally allowing his name to be with
drawn to relieve a deadlock. Fo»r that
reason, many people think that he has
an added claim to the position. At
present, he is -State Senator from
Bamberg County. He is well known
in this county, being a brother of So
licitor Berte D. Carter. Barnwell
County people have some claim to
Whenever a young man leaves his
home-town to try his mej-al in a
larger arena, and makes good ih the

to his friends at home to learn of
such A success. It sends a glow of
mingled pride and pleasure over us,

of if. as personal to ourseiye*uJJEbjs
is one of the few forms of egotism
wholly admirable and uplifting. It
helps us, generally, to a spirit of gen
erosity that silences jealousy and not
only gives us pleasure, but more
healthful f-houghts; and it harms no
one.
Recent news item from Washing
ton, D. C., "tell us of our young friend,
John G. Simms, as enacting the part
of the “Young Man from His Home
Town”, and I am sure that his wide
circle of friends in our community
will be glad f-o hear about it.
As already known, Jo^n G. -Simms
is the oldest son of our distinguished
fellow citizen, Hon. C. C. Simms, and
that he was graduated from the Law
School of the University of | South
Carolina with honor as of f-he class
of 1919. He was, then, too young to
practice that profession in the State,
and a special act of the Legislature
was passed for his beneAt to over
come the difficulty. Very shortly af
ter his admission to the Bar, young
! Simms went West wifh the view of

A Glimmer of Hope—at Last.
Senator Underwood, in his tax
speech at Montgomery, Ala., Friday
night, advocated giving the President
blanket authority to abolish govern
ment bureaus. His declaration was
the occasion for prolonged applause
from big hearers,, showing that he had
struck n respen*lv« chord, There is
**a movement on foot Sn this Slate at
the present time looking to the con
solidation of some of the departments
of government with a view to econo
my. Consolidation of some of the
various agencies will probably be a
good thing, but complete abolition of
a number of useless bureaus that only
serve to give somebody a job and in
crease the tax burden would be even
better. The people are sick and tired
of taxes mounting higher and higher
each year. Vox populi was heard in
the matter of tie 20 per cent, tax on
coafnetics, which was reduced to four
per cent, last week, and we now have
some faint hope that it is beginning
to reach the ears of the powers that
be in other matters. The sooner they
realize that economy in government
what the taxpayers want, the bet
ter it will be for everybody concerned.
An Awful Record.

as he is personally concerned, it would

But it is a remarkable fact, and one
, that is worthy of serious considera
tion, that in spite of nearly a decade
of Volsteadism, the homicide record
in 1924 in the United States was the
highest it has ever been, more than
11,000 murders having been commit
ted in that year, or nearly 1,000 a
month. And the awful part of the
whole business is that such an
astounding and bloody record makes
so little impression on us. We boast
, of our civilization and our Christian
ity and send missionaries to “heathen

what the benighted people of those
uncivilized and un-Christianized coun
tries really think atm.
