' r ' v ' 7 'j The People-Sentinel understand* that Barnwell can secure financial as sistance from the State highway de partment in paving ' the streets of this city that are ft part of the State highway system. Under this plan, it would he possible to pave a part of Main Street and all of Marlboro Avenue. Other towns are going af ter this assistance and there is no reason why we should’t hoy:., this! much needed improvement." I/et’s go | after it. A Little Incident, But- An aged negro and his wife, resi dents of Atlanta, had saved up $?>(> with which to make the Iasi payment ort their home. ■, A jsljort time ago, they made a Visit to the country. When they Returned to their home, they found that their water pipes had burst and that they owed the city a bill of $62 for wasted water The old darkey admitted that it was his own fault, but when he explained his circumstances to the waterworks commission, they voted to compro mise with the -negro for $6. A little thing, of course, but we Wondered when we read the item in a daily paper last week, whether or not this old negro couple would have been accorded such liberal treatment in a Northern city, where much is said about but little sympathy is shown for the ‘‘brother in black.” Straws show which way. the wind blows and it is ju«t such little inti- dents as th^fcc, which are of daily occurrence throughout the South, that show where the negroes' f'ltrd* are. Splendid building lot in the town .of Barnwell, most desira bly located on Marlboro Avenue; convenient to school, depots and business section of city. Can arrange terms.

If there are many people in this State (and of course there aret who believe that farm lands can stand any increase in taxes let them pause and reflect on the fact that H7 per cent, of the farms in South Carolina are covered by mortgages. This is an astounding statement, but the in formation was brought out at a joint meeting of the House ways and means committee and the Senate finance committee. We note in cor- respomlenee from Columbia that "several speakers opposed the re valuation and rectnsHif lent ion of pro perty and stated that the farms eould not possibly boar higher tuxes for the reason that N7 per cent, of them are under mortgage.- The statement seemed to give, the joint committee a severe shock." And well it may. A combination of circum stances has placed the farmers of the country in a most unenviable position.
