SmK ' Confratulationa, Colonel. h ► v 3 Barnwell and Barnwell County have always furnished their quotas of djs tinguished sons to the #ervice of South Carolina. The latest to win honor for himself and his home county is Col Harry D. Calhoun, president of the Home Bank of Barnwell, who last week was elected president of the S C. State Bankers Association. The People-Sentinel is quite sure that he will discharge the duties of his office in such a manner as^ll bring creddit to himself and vindicate the confi dence placed in him by his fellow bankers. Congratulations and best wishes, Colonel! Worthwhile Opportunities. We wish to call attention to a letter ‘published elsewhere in this issue, from County Superintendent of Education Horace J. Crouch, in which he stresses 'the opportunities offered to six boys and one girl in Barnwell County to win a scholarship at State colleges. He doesn’t want to see these scholar ships go by default to boys and gifts in the State at large. Surely there Are enough young men and women in this county who desire a college edu cation with ambition enough to win one of these free scholarships by just a little effort. Read Mr. Crouch’s letter, then read the advertisements of the colleges in this paper and make up your mind to - win a scholarship. K' - Admiral McGowan, chief highway commissioner, has ordered the opera tors of bus lines in this State to re duce their schedules to conform with the speed limit in South Carolina. We are glad to see Mr. McGowan take this action and only wish it were pos sible for him to regulate as easily the •peed of all other automobile.^ rivers. We have also noticed that the drivers of some of these busses are “road hogs” and force the drivers of other automobiles to the edge of the road to avoid a collision. We suggest that Mr. McGowan issue a memorandum covering this practice. A r,oad hog is^A ^contemptible breed of the genus homo and quite often ^ responsible for many of the acci dents that happen on the public high ways. Our System of Taxation. a.-!' mi: A story is going the rounds that re cently a New Yorker purchased a pair of shoes in a town in the Pied mont section of this State and was '■4 very much surprised when, in re sponse to his inquiry as to the amount of the tax, the merchant informed him that there is none on shoes, they still being considered a necessity and not a luxury in South Carolina. The visitor from New York had beep so accustomed to paying taxes on his purchases in this State that-we can readily appreciate his surprise in this matter. And speaking cf taxes.
