Remittances from delinquent sub
scribers have been di*appointingly
small during the past few weeks, and
especially so during the past week, in
spite of tb^ fact that the blue ' ring
was placed around the label of every
subscriber who is in arrears. We are
“ringing” thee papers again this week
and if there is one around your label,
we will greatly appreciate the favor
if you will bring or send us the amount
due.
Practically all weekly newspapers
in the State have been forced 'to
adopt the paid in advance systeih. The
publisher of the The People-Sentinel
has found it necessary, by reason
of losses on unpaid subscriptions, to
do likewise, and notice is hereby
given that on and after October 1st,
i 925, the name of every subscriber
rho is in arrears will be dropped from
our mailing list. While we regret
this necessity, we cannot continue to
send the.paper unless it is paid for.
We have found that it is much easier
for the subscriber to pay for one year
than for two or three years at a time.
We will continue to remind delin
quents every week until October 1st
that they are in arrears and after
that time our mailing lists will be
revised Please exmine tfour label
today and if you are behind, a remit
tance wHl be appreciated. ^ *■
Motor-trucks and Railroads.
I
It would seem that the claim that
the motor-truck is so seriously inter
fering with railroad freight traffic
that increased rates are necessary
haa no foundation in fact. In some
States it is found that nearly 40 per
cent, of the total tonnage is moved
less than ten miles and nearly 70
per cent, less that 30 miles. The
truck has found .its place in the short
haul and is not taking over any busi
ness that the railuoads can better do.
U. -S. Treasury records show that
in 1923 the rail lines contributed
some $35,000,000 in taxes toward
highway construction and mainten
ance, but derived in turn from the car
riage of motor vhicles, parts and road
building materials more than $400,-
000,000.
The total of special taxes, exclu
sive of personal property, paid by
motor vehicles in 1924 amounted to
^$471,000,000, or the equivalent of 46
per cent, of the total national, State
and local highway bill, as estimated
by the Bureau of Pubic Roads. The
same tax total was equifalent to
92 percent, of the cost of the State
highways during that year, and over
which roads from 75 to 80 per cent,
of the vehicular mileage takes place.
* From all of which it is seen that
there is no basis for the fear that
the motor-truck i« going to compete
seriously with the railroads.
another State w** touring through
South Carolina, eh route to Florida.
In a letter to a daily newspaper, she
wrote that, after being almost forced
irto the ditch on several occasions to
adVoid collisions with other cars, .she
turned back and thpt never again will
*he attempt a journey across South
Carolina. Wh*t a sad commentary
upon the Palihetto State’s boasted
chivalry and courtesy! \
^s the People-Sentinel has remark
ed before, the most despicable mem
bers of the human family are the
“road hogs”—those drivers who are
so selfish and as judge Kimball says,
having no regard for their lives nor
the lives and limbs of thers, insist
on driving their cars at a high rate
* speed down the middle of the
spendid highways that every auto
mobile owner has helped to build.
Naturally, if any thing is done to
remedy the situation, the better class
of citizens must act—it is unreason
able to presumme that the lawbreak
ers themselves are going to put a
atop to it, except by killing themselvts
off. The trouble with that method
is that so many innocent persons are
also killed or injured.
It has been . suggested that every
automobile owner be required to furn
ish an indemnity bond and that fevery
driver be required to pass an examin
ation before being given a license to
drive on the public highways. And
furthermore, that any pet-son found
driving an automobile while under
the influence of intoxicants shall have
his license revoked. We are inform
ed that similar requirements already
exist in many States and the fact
that we have no suhh laws in this
State may be partly responsible for
the experience of the lady referred
to above.
The Legislature delights in taxing
wutomobiies and everything per
taining to them. Why not ask that
augufct body to throw some safeguards
around those who are perfectly willing
to give the “road hogs” more than
half of the road?

Death of Rev. J. F. Davis.
Hilda, August $2.—The Rev. J. F.
Davis, for some years pastor of the
Hilda and other Baptist churches in
this section of the State, died at hi*
home ,n Hilda Thursday nij-ht, Aug,
73th, ag'j i 05 years, following a brief
(illness. Until the previous Sunday
Mr. Unvia was in his usur.l good heal
th, and filled his regular appointment
at Hilda as usual; He was taken ill
later in the day, and was unable to
preach that night. The funeral ser
vices were held at Hilda Saturday; V
and interment followed in the Willis-
ton cemetery.
Mr. Davjs\was born in Alexander
county,-North Carolina, and had held
■pastorates in North and South Caro
lina. Several years ago he came to
South Carolina, and has served as
pastor at various times for Hilda,
Double Pond, Gebrge’s \ Creek, and
Springtown, and had affco served as
pastor in Tennessee. He was a fine
old gentleman and a preacher of the
old school, who adheared closely to
tht Bible and preached the Word as
one unafraid, and as one who loved
and enjoyed the service of his Lord.
He is survived by his widow and
two sons. Rev. W. R. Davis, of Wil-
liston, and Charles G. Davis, of Lowe,

For the first time in history, the
Southern States surpassed New Eng
land in textile prodpetion during the
past year, according to records of
the cotton year ended July 31st, as
announced by the Department of
Commerce. A decline of 25 per cent,
in New England production was re
sponsible. This is just another indi
cation that the march of empire is
Southward. The Sunny South, for
many years the step-child of the
nation, is at last coming into its own.

Safe Driving vs. Reckless Drying.
“If we had an epidemic of a dread
ed disease which was exacting the
toll we are paying in automobile fatal
ities, the whole country would be up
in arms.” - -
,“The roads and streets will be safe
our people only when every good
citizen puts his force into the fight
for safer driving.”
The above are excerpts from a talk
‘made by the judge of Columbia’s pol
ice court before the Kiwanis club one
day last week. During the course ef
his ramarks. Judge KhnbaH paid his
respects to the “road hog,” describing
him as %. person who “has no regard
for his own life nor tl)e lives and
limbs of others.” An accident, he
aaid, is an unavoidable thing and care
lessnese, negligence ahd “downright
meanness” are the causes of most of
the troubles on the highways. Judge
’Kimball called upon all good citizens
to cooperate in an effort to promote
better observance of safe conduct of
motor-cars. He frankly admitted
that the imposition of fines does not
seem "to stop the alarming number
mf fatalities.
There is food for thought in the
above. There isn’t a motor car) own
er and driver in Barnwell, or else
where-in the State, that goes upon
the highways with any feeling of
and apparently bad matters
worse. The partial re-
ty has meant a large

The city council placed an order
Monday night, for markers to be used
alonig the recently designated offi

ordeied and these will he rseef to
d • ect traffic along the roiijte. In
pdcition, t’nco large signs wejv or
dered and wi;l.be placed as follows-
One at the intersection ofrthe Dun
barton and Elko highways; one at
the intersection of the Allendale and
Olar highways, and the third on the

does not indicate a good crop at all,
and where your concspondents tell
you to the contrary they will find
their mistake during the month of
September. The extreme heat, with
the lack of moisture is causing many
immature bolls to open, consequently,
'it takes a larger number of pounds of
seed cotton to gin a bale of cotton.
Springfield, has been not as hard hit,
as many sections nearby, as we had
some rains that were almost local,
and in a measure, were to that ex
tent more fortunate, hovlever, our
crops of both cotton, and corn,. will

most fields, the nitrate was used after
the ground had become* dry, and no
results can be expected.
However, with the two large mills
running over time, and with more
orders than they can fill Springfield
will make its usual touchdown.
