THURSDAY, “Waiting for the sunrise” “ has taken the place of the old song, “Wa wont go home till morning.” If you are one who believes that it pays to be crooked, just ponder on what happened to corkscrews and hairpins. An exchange says thate “the part of the automobile, that causes the most accidents is the nut that holds the steering wheel.” m * A caption over a picture of John D. Rockefeller says that he is “Get ting older.” Well, that’s one thing that the oil magnate hasn’t got on the rest of us. We see by the papers that Candi date N. B.

Whet we need and want is a happy combination of the two. Year after year, we see appropria tions steadily climb higher a nd higher and the taxpayers of the State hove to dig deeper and neeper to provide the wherewithal. Big appropriations were all right, possibly, during the flush timet during and immediately after the war, when cotton and other farm products were bringing almost fabulous prices. Now, however, with ^ the purchasing power of the dollar reduced at least a third^ on which 1 basis cotton is selling for less than it did in 1914, we have an annual Ap propriation, we believe, several times as large as it was then. Thus, we are in the position of spending more with less to pay with. The signs of the times point to a strong effort throughout the State to elect men to the General Assembly who are in favor of economy and against the tax commission. It has been truly said that “the power to tax is the power to destroy,” and many are convinced that the commis sion is “hell-bent” on driving the people to destruction. Entirely too much power has been vested in thrc>e men composing the commission and inasmuch as that body is a creation of the legislature it caftnot he reached through the voters at the ballot box except through the medium of elect ing Senators and representatives pledged to abolish it. The trend of recent years has been too much towards centralization of power, in both the State and national governments, but the people are at . last becoming aroused and a reaction ia setting in. There is strong evi dence that they are on the verge of taking the bit in their teeth and at tempting to get back some vestige of local self-government. Whether or not this will be done this year re main* to be seen, but it is under stood that candidates for the legisla ture In many counties will be asked to declare '.hemselves on a number of „ vital issuer Thj PoTple-Si’ntinel believes that u , m county board of assessor*, with ‘it* intimate contact with the affair* and this position, to do or die anq| these men had died . . .*. for days men strove to lift wearied feet, each step dragged back with the weight of groaning clay. . . . -. And they fell drbwned in mud, choking, gasping, silent. Or the enemy’s guns riddled them with holes, blew from them their limte, ate great portions , of their bodies as they fell, entrails trailing. Rats, loathsome insects, hateful horrors, of the grave, crawl ed over men not yet dead; gnawed at helpless bodies, beings who some times moaned for water, who some- 'times cried for succor, . or cursed. There was no help, for no stretcher could be brought across the acreage of death. “The smell of death met the nos trils. Bits of men, human matter, sank softly beneath the tread. Hu man bones, skulls, hanks of hair, blank eyes, crunched below the hob nailed boots.” • “There is a lonely, isolated grave th France. There is nothing on the narrow wooden cross, already sink ing beneath the weight of NEfcvre’s own weeping, the rain.

C, June 19. 1926.— Editor, The Barnwell People-Sentinel: I noticed in your !a«t week’s issue that Mr. Archie Sanders was think ing of making the race for Magistrate at Kline. We are very much surpris ed at Mr. Sanders. A man of his political ability should never aspire for such a lowly po'-'ition as Magis trate. We think if he had offered for the Legislature or State Son at A he would come nearer reaching the goal. “Go your length. Archie—go out and get ’em.” K. L. Wanted.—A Carload of Poultry. Editor. The People-Sentinel: Please allow me space in your paper to suggest to some enterprising poultry dealer that there is aa ex cellent opportunity of making money by shipping a carload of poultry into thi* immediate section. Chickens both broilers and friers, have b. cn extremely scarce this Spring and Summer and the prices demanded are well nigh prohibitive. In view of the fact that the price of cotton is so low and that of poultry so high, the subgitution of chicken raising in the place of cotton growing looks to me like a good business proposition for the wide-awake farmer. ~ A CITIZEN. a people of a county, is in much better NBURN Apply Vfcka very lightly—it soothes the tortured skin. position to place a just assessment oa taxable property of that mm mmm fC county than is a board composed of three mm, sitting in Columbia and vested with autocratic powers.

T ^ * The method of review n|j*t always be determined by the department of the Sunday school and by the teacher’s preferences. For the young people and adults, perhaps the best method will be to assign the tusk of finding the mofg important teaching of each lesson. ' The following Is suggestive of the t method of review recommended: Ltsson for April 11—God created all' things. The things which are come to be by the creative act of a personal God. God created man In His likeness and Image, which means that man bears God’s likeness morally and in- teliectually. Lesson for April II—The Explana tion of the Ills and sorrow* of the world can only be made on the basis of the historical fall of man as re corded In the Bible. The prime actor In this tragedy was the personal, cun ning. malicious being called the I>evll. Because man Is a free being, itossesa- Ing the power of contrary choice, sin entered through man's belief of the Devil Instead of God. Lesson for April 26—Because the human race Is an organism. Gain and Abel through the . law of heredity came into the world with sinful na tures. Giid taught them that the way of approach unto Him was through a bloiwly sacrifice, typifying tlw supreme sacriftcF made by Jesus Christ on Cal vary. Abel believed God, took his place as a sinner and presented his offer accordingly. Cain In proud self- will brought the fruit of the ground, thus ignoring God's appointed way of approach unto Him. Cain's offering therefore was rejected because he did not recognize himself as a sinner and come to God In the way which God had appointed. Lesson for May 2—Noah, coming forth from the ark. faced the respon sibllity of re(M>pulating the new world. In recognition of that obligation and out of gratitude for God's grace in sav ing himself and family, he erected an altar and wondiiped before the Ixirtl. God re*i>onded and entered Into cov enant relationship with him. Lesson for May 9—lilt's selfish ohoh-e involved Lito In trouble. Abra ham. Iie<-ai)««’ of l.is separation from Sodom anti unto G«id. was able to go against a mighty king and rescue hi* unfortunate nephew. Lesson for May 1g—God manifested Itliiiseif visibly to Abraham in the form of an angel This angel was none other than the Son of (hid Abraham thus met Jesus Christ. V%ri*t no doubt referred to ttiis wlien He h;iId. ‘'Abraham saw my day and was glad." , - Lesson for May %—Isaac, a child of the covenant given in the old age of his parent*, was a gentle and peace-loving man. He suffered wrong rather khan strl\e with his enemies. Lesson for May Jacob was chosen of God. Because of fids God was with him. Cod will keep, pro tect and prosjier His elect ones even in spite of their weakness and failure. Lesson for June 6—Kmivi liecause of living under the sway of his appetite sold his birthright for a mess of pot tage. He afterward repented and sought to undo his deed. ' Though sln- oerely regretting his aet, it was Im possible to change conditions. Our acts and choices are Irrevocable. —^ Lesson for June 13—Joseph war peculiarly beloved by his father. Be cause of this Jacob unwisely ex pressed favoritism. This favorit ism incited the Jealousy of his brothers, who at the opportune time sold him, as a slave to mer chantmen going down to Egypt. Because of the false accusation of a wicked woman he was imprisoned. Lesson for June 20—Because of Jo seph’s fidelity God raised him to £ position of honor and power in Egypt. While in this position he made pro vision against an uw'ful famine which came upon thr land and became a, means of saving from starvation not. only the Egypt Inns, but his brethren who came «ldwn from Canaan. Though they had wronged him he graciously forgave them and provided for tliem in their need. — of Agriculture Jardine, as the beat boy cattle.
