universally esteemed tot his high

was a great advocate of better schools

school, of which he was a trustee, sus
pended activities for two days in
honor of his memory, and the esteem
in which he was held was attested by
the large attendance at his funeral
and the many beautiful floral offerings
that eoVered his last renting place.

Washington, Feb. 22.—“McNary-
and Haugen” to city folks might
sound like the name of a vaudeville
team, but to the farmers of these
United States it means pay day.
Again, “McNary and Hiugcn,” the
names that are on everyone’s lip'*.
Who are they—what are they—where
from—what for—and how come.
Washington knows. Wa3hingtcn
has come to respect the names—and
the men. For five years, since- the
post-war deflation period, they have
ruled the legislative boards; refused
to give up the limelight; ip all authors
of four bills; different somewhat in de
tails, but locking to the same end, re
lief for the farmer.
- One' year ago McNary and Haugen
took a good healthy bust in the be *ser
and went down to defeat—but here
they are again with virtually Uu*
same bill—accepted by bath Houss end
Senate—and up to the President—for
his veto, which is being freely pre
dicted in all quarters.* Nevertheless.
Maybe the lineup in
both House and Senate has been so
arranged by fate, or circumstances,
that McNary and Haugen will carry
through a passage of their bill over
the Coolidge veto if such it receives.
The reader no doubt is acquainted
with the present bill, which, if it be
comes a law, will create a Federal
Farm Board with a revolving fund of
$250,000,000 from the U. S. Treasury
to control and stabilize agricultural
prices, even to the extent of buying
up surplus crops and marketing them
in foreign markets at the best posei
hie price.
Charles L. McNary is Republican
Senator from Oregon, 63 years old,
and serving his second term. Rep
resentative Gilbert N. Haugen, Re
publican, is from Northwood .Worth
County, Iowa, is 68 years old and
is finishing his fourteenth term in the
House. They are chairmen respective
ly of the Senate Committee on Agri
culture and Forestry, and the House
Committee on Agriculture. —-
• Both are' progressives—but neither
McNary nor Haugen have leaned so
far, even on Farm Relief, that they
can be placed in the radical group.
Mr. McNary has an ability that seems
to make it possible for him to have
more influence among the conserva
tives than Borah, Norris or Bnookhart
of the left wing—or Capper, Hiram
Johnson and Gooding of the right

Sheriff Dyches Notified by Governed
Jf 1 *^** 0 8^ That Laws Are ,
* ">V /
Enforced.
Sheriff Bondi H. Dyches has ; re*
ceived a letter from Governor John
G. Richards relative to the enforce*,
ment of the “blue” Sunday laws in
Barnwell County and throughout the
State in which the Chief Executive
makes the following significant state*
ment: “We have all grown more op
less careless about Sabbath obeerv*
ance. I am urging that
you use the same diligence in the eu**
torcement of our Sabbath oheervnca
laws that you give to the other laws
of the State."
Columbia was the first dty in the
State to experience a “blue” Sunday,
the enforcement of the centuries old
statute being put into effect in the
city last Sunday, wnd according to
The State “it was ’bluer’ in Colum
bia than in many a long year.” AH
drug stores were shut tight, soft
drink emporiums presented blank
doors bo the thirsty and shoe-shins
parlors were closed. FHling stations
were also deserted.
Governor Richard's order has or*
casioned much comment, favorable
and otherwise, and many predict that
the law, which was passed shoot the
year 1600, will be repealed. The full
text of the Governor’s letter to Sher
iff Dyches is as follows:
“I feel sure that I’ll have your
full co-operation in my endeavor to
enforce the laws of our State. It ia
not my purpose to single out any
special law for more rigid enforce
ment than another, but to use every
proper moans to enforce all the laws
with uniformity ^id
“We have all grown i
<*—‘sl—e about Sabbath
and the law governing oaffJ|
that day; therefore, I am urging theft
you use the asms diligence in the
enforcement of our Sabbath obser
vance laws that you give the other
tew s «f the Stats.

That advertising in The People-
Sentinel draws trade from the Atlantic
to the Pacific, thru putting this paper
in the trans-continental class as an
advertising mediant, is shown by an
order received a few days ago by the
Fqjtners Union Mercantile Co., of
this "city, from a lady residing in the
State of Oregon. This lady reader of
The People-Sentinel is Mrs. Leland
Ready, the wife of a former resident
at Barnwell County, whose home ia in
Ontario, Oregon. She saw the local
firm’s advertisement at a bargain in
shears and sent the following order:
“Ontario, Oregon, Bbx 635, Feb. 14,
1927.—Farmers Union Mercantile Co.,
Barnwell, S. C.—Sirs: .1 am a reader
of The Barnwell People-Sentisel and
saw one of your doupons and would
like very much to have one pair of
the jewel bolt shears. Would like the
six inch ones if jam have them. In
closed you will find - P. 0.

all charges. Respectfully, Mrs. L.
Ready.”, _ _
This, it is thought, establishes a
long distance record for the pulling
power of the advertising columns of
a South Carolina weekly newspaper—
if not for the entire United States—
and is one bf which the publisher is
justly proud. In addition to the or
der from Oregon, Mr. W. L. Jackson,
manager of the Farmers Union Mer
cantile Co., states that Us firm has
also received numerous orders from
Florida, Georgia, North Carolina and
other States, in addition to local or
ders. All of which proves conclusively
that a* an advertising medium. The
People-Sentinel la second to none in
this section. And other local mer
chants are reminded that what this
newspaper’s advertising columns have
done tor one concern can be done for
wing.

old warrior type. His shaggy silver

bead tops broad, though stooped

cerning farm relief, he has became
more and more conservative in his
political theories through his twenty-
eight years in Congress. Last year
he supported the late Albert B. Cum
mings against Brookbart, and as a re
sult, came near losing his own seat.
