“The Williston Way last week
prints a n account of the death of a
colored woman,'who, it says, attained
tte fine old age of 119 years, jedding
that she was probably the oldest per*
son in the South. The Way adds that
the woman’s youngest son is 48 years
old. In other words she was 71 years
of age when her last child was born. *

Standardization. ^
The movement toward standardiza
tion of industrial products haa made
rapid progress in the United States.
Morathan 200 definite standardization
projects are in progress or completed
under the auspices of the American
Engineering Standards Committee
which announces that 886 national
trada aaaoriations, technical societies
and tfovepmsnt bureaus aye cooperat
Jng in the work throtigh* some 1,600
representatives.
The legal fratematy should take a
lessee from this remarkable improve
ment in industrial methods. Penal
ties for crime should be standardi**d
and particularly the matter of bail.
The lax methods regarding these two
■utters are the real cause of mak
iag justice a joke and law laughed at.
Cancellation of Debts.
Frederick W. Peabody, a retired
Massachusetts attorney, is organiz
ing e nation-wide propaganda to can-
v eel war debta. He claims to have
90,000 sympathisers on record and
hopes to soon enroll 1,000,000 mem
bers. Local organizations are to he
perfected in every community, end
funds to defray expense* will be pro
▼ided by contributors from individual*
end international interests- .’7
Of course Mr. Peabody has not
suggested that these Rympathizers
set a 6°°^ example by voluntarily
caucelling their liberty bonds—if they
have any—nor does he intimate that
the government shall cease taxing the
people to pay the interest on these
bonds. Neither does Mr. Peabody
take into consideration Mr. Mellon’s
statement that the sc dal debt for
fknda used in tha prosecution of the
war has already been cancelled to the
it of some peven thousand mil-
of dollars on the plea of “ability
of the debtor to pay.”
No one has heard this question of
M abi)ity to pay” raised by Wall Street
wr (lie in-er nation si banker* who
hard loaned as many more millions
since* the Armistic. There seems to
be no question as to the ability to
pay these loans. Uncle Sam’s strong
box seems to be considered easy
money and common prey.
In view of the treatment we have
mceived it would be interesting to
know just what the people of this
country wSuld do to another loan in
the event of another European war.
It la more than probable that it would

The Barnwell People-Sentinel says
Hut. inasmuch as The Bamberg Her
ald and the Walterboro Press and
Standard are “belaboring each other
about the merits and demerits of
their respective counties,” the proper
thjug to do is to annex Bamberg and
Colleton to Barnwell County, and
thereby settle the whole argument.
The ( Only defect in this proposition is

in It did we use
• We considered
i—und used—“cqntdoversy” ms the
bstter word, one that mors aptly de
scribed the dispute between The Her
ald and the Walterboro Press and
Standard. According to Webster,
controversy means, “a disputatious
difference; a discussion, dispute or
debate; sometimes, a quarrel; strife.’
On the other hand, according to the
same authority, argument means
“Proof; evidence. A reason
or Reasons offered in proof, to induce
belief, convince the mind or persuade
to tebion; {reasoning expressed in
words. Aat or process of
reasoning, Or a controversy made up
of , rational proofs.”
Please note particularly the last
definition: : “A controversy made up
of rational proofs.” In other words,
its order to attain the dignity of an
argument, a controversy must be
just that.
AH of which reminds us of Senator
Smith’s tirade at the Associated Presa
reporter at Hampton a couple of
weeks ago. Turning in hot anger to J
the young man, the senior Senator
pounded the journalistic table and
shouted: .“I want you to understand,
Mr. Newspaper Reporter, that I am
not defending my record! I have
nothing to defend!” ~ After which
some wag remarked that he agreed
with the Senator perfectly when he
paid that he had nothing (no record)
to defend and since he himself a<
ted it, that made it unanimous.
. As, there can be no argument as' to
which is the better place to live when
the choice is between Barnwell and
Bamberg, and the admission of our
neighbor to that effect making it
unanimous, the incident is closed.

Railroads Are Prosperous.
Railroad profits of nearly $500,000,-
000 are reported for the first half of
the current year. In most respects
railroad men regard the present posi
tion as the soundest in the history oL
the carriers. As regards physical
condition of the plant and capacity to
handle the business offered, the roads
were never better off, H is said.
Equipment condition is also reported
as the best in the history of these
records. A reduction of only one
per cent, in operating ratio it su'd
by statisticians to be equivalent to a
saving of $60,000,000 a year in operat
ing expenses and a corresponding in
crement to the final ret income.
In the meartime, the farmers of
the country, who produce a large part
of what is hauled by the railroads,
thus enabling them to make these
huge profits, are struggling along in
an effort to eke ou: a bare existence,
*
more offten than not falling into debt
because they are unable to sell' their
product* at a profit.
A business man has estimated that
a railroad company that serves a cer
tain -xaH towr rectived this summer
something like $20,000 *r > n the
growers and shippers of 'va jrine'.im,
while the farmers themselves . got
about $10,000 to cover their rusts of
production. In the same town there
is an express agent. It is presumei
that the company pays him a decent
salary. In. addition, it is said that he
•ceives a commission on certain ex
press shipments. W» arp told by ore
in a position to know that during a
period of 15 days thp summer this
agert received nearly $300 in com-
missiens on shipments of truck in
addition to bis regular salaryd^na it. i*
estimated that such commissions will
net him several hundred dollars dur
ing the months of July and August.
Not satisfied with that, 1t is reported
that he is trying to induce the express
compag.y to allow him r-ie cent per
crate for, loading.
Itj the name of common sense, hew
is it possible for the farmer to get
ahead when such condition* exist.’
It is our impression that the govt
ernment, several years ago. guaran
teed the railroads of uhe country i
against lossea. > If the above informa
tion is correct, it would <e'm, t> at at
the same time it fixed things so that
there will be no losses te make gooo.
Perhaps if the government also guar
anteed the farmers against losses it
would likewise take the necessary
rfteps to safeguard itself.
Senator E. D. Smith, who is seek
ing reelection this year and poses as
the friend of the farmer, is chairman
of the Interstate Commerce Commis
sion, Freight rates have climbed sky-
high during the time he has been in
office. He has two dpponents in this
race, ore of whom is from Barnwell
County. What’s $he answer?

A long stride toward progress has been made by a combination of producers for the distribution

Tjio joining of resources and facilities of the Edisto Public Service Company, (Denmark, S. C )
the CaroUna Light and Power Company, f Aiken, S. C.) and the Augusta-Aiken Railway and Elec
tric Corporation of Augusta, bring a guarantee to the residents of thip community that unlimited
power, at very favorable rates, will be available to do all sorts of useful work for the farmer, the

The output of these three corporations is drawn from the streams of our own neighbohood—
Augusta alone producing 24,000 horsepower from the Savannah River. Added to this great volume
are all the steam plants that the central towns, which m the past, have been the sole source of
electric supply. By this modern arrangement, these steam equipments, will be held in reserve, to be
used as auxiliaries, to be operated only at very infrequent intervals^, when repairs may be needed to

To anticipate future needs, and provide -* ,for the boundless commercial and agricultural activi

cently completed a physical connection at Toceoa, Georgia, with {he limitless supply of hydro power
generated in the five States of Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia, North and South Carolina, and distri
buted through the switch boards of the Georgm^fcailway and Tower Company at Atlanta.
