In the school text book ^instead of

come when the people of all naiiona
would refuse to war against one

Of what use will be a goveinorwho
honertly ndvotut^s oconcniy ind th^
reeultant lower taxes tbut goes
therewith if the people elect another
Legialature wedded to the twin gods
of extravagence and waste" It is
true that such a governor could exer
cise the veto power but it is also
equally true that the veto could be
over-ridden in the General Assembly.
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

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

blank eyes, crunched below the hob

in the image of his creator. And
the .medals lie on cushioned beds.
Young bones rot and young muscles
moulder. Sometimes it may be that
soul of the medal’s alloy will
quiver that man should have cast it
to the glorifyng of tragic, deliberate,
unnecessary death.”

Barnwell, S. 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.”

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. ~

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,

I T is for the creation and preservation of the
i
home that the world’s work goes on. And when
it is well done and prosperous times come, it is
the home that benefits most. Beside* being the
foundation of the State, the home is the ALL of
our civilization.

A myriad of life’s, necessities—food, clothing
and household goods—passes over the rails of the
Southern Railway System and into homes every
day. And every day thousands of freight cars
loaded with products from the South are carried
along the rails of the Southern, bound for distant
markets. Thus the South grows and develops.
