Th«Barnwell People-Sentinel JOHN W. HOLMES IMO-ini H. P. DAVIES, Editor and Proprietor. Entered at the poet office at Barnwell S. C., aa second-clau matter. SUBSCRIPTION RATES: One Year —— — $L50 Six Months — >90 Three Months — — 4W (Strictly la Advance.) THRSDAY, JULY 28TH, 192?. Chicago Fashion-Note: Bandits still dress to kill. - M«rgo*t Asquith says if women did- not dress for men they would wear much less. M’gosh—what she mean —MUCH? Court statistics show that women get 65 per cent, of the divorces—and men’s pocketbooks show they get 100 per cent, of the alimony. So many thread-bare overcoats would rvqt be seen in the fall if the people decided to spend their vacation “just inside their incomes.” This is the health age. Girls are takjm long walks for their complex ions/ Since the drug store moved to the other end of Main Street. Headline in newspaper says “Emer gency Still Exists in Vienna.” Which ain’t news at all because there are nothing else but emergency stills in this country. Such js history. Now we are dedi cating to patriotism the house in which Barbara Frietchie did not wave a flag at Stonewall Jackson’s troops as they did not march down that street in which the house stands.

Can we say that the trade is truly desired by our merchants.? Are our business men doing all they can to induce business in Aiken? Shouft people be criticized for going else where to trade when their knowledge of the local situation must be gained by hunting'up the goods Or seeing them in display windows, occasion ally?” And what is true of Aiken^s like-' wise true of Barnwell and Williaton and Bamberg and most of the other towns of like size. Most of the mer chants complain of poor business and the amount of trade they are losing to the city merchants and the mail or der houses—and most of them do little or nothing to keep that trade at home. Check over in your .Blind the number of reputable business houses in Augusta and Columbia with which you are well acquainted and you will find that each and every one of them is a large and consistent user of news paper advertising. And you became acquainted and keep acquainted with them through the medium of print er’s ink. p • . . .V , ' ■ i. i ■ — Now, then, check over this issue of The People-Sentinel and see how many Barnwelll business houses are inviting you to their stores and tell ing you of the excellent values they are offering. We have no doubt what ever but that their stores offer many opportunities to save money, for Barn well can. boast of several successful merchants, but the trouble is that they take it for granted that the buy ing public already knows what they have to offer—and the buying public usually strays over to Augu .ta or Co lumbia, attracted by the lure of ad vertised goods/, and gets wh a t it needs, knowing beforehand just where to go to get it. - And if .and when our local mer chants decide that they want to try and keep thii trade at home, th*y only have to remember that The People-Sentinel offers them adequate circulation and an advertising and cut service prepared by experts. Camden, N. J., School Board votes that women school teachers may •moke an occasional cigarette—but not about the school holdings. Evi dently it is possible increased fire in surance rates which causes the board to rule cautiously. Working Without Pay The People-Sentinel has always be lieved that "the laborer is worthy of his hire,” and for that reason (along with others that are self-evident) we cannot understand - why Governor Richards has followed the practice of some of his predecessors in ap pointing State constables •‘without pay”—<that is, no stipulated salary, although, we understand, they are allowed an expense account in some instances. We can see why it is necessary at times to commission enable - him, to make raids outside of the incorporate limits of a town. Very few men are financially able to support themselves and the* 1 ' f.vr.- Jlieg unless they are paid a salary commensurate with the services rendered, however great may be their patriots m or zeal for the enforcement of tho prohibition laws, and The People-Sentinel wishes to go on record as favoring adequate pay for the prohibition enforcement officers or, failing in that, the abandonment of the effort to enforce the law. No matter how honest an officer “with out pay” may be, he lays himself ligble to suspicion^ to say the least, and in this connection we recall the charge made against so-called “dollar- a-year men” during the late war. Many of them were millionaires, and yet some were not above suspicion of “grafting.” If we are to attempt an enforcement of the laws, let ug pay the> men (who are willing to sacrifice their lives if need be.

BOULWARE, Plaintiff’s Attorney. Anyhow Progress. It is pleasant to learn that this nation spends more on public schools than on any other government function —not excepting the cost of keeping ready for war. Our public schools ccrt two thousand million dollars a year, about one-fourth the total a- mount spent for public purposes. Two billions a year seems a great deal, but It is not much really. Pub lic education,' on which tho future depends, ab olutely costs less than twenty dollars per capita. And, by Ihe way, it costs less than half the money spent on cigarettes. That la«t is an encouraging /act. It proves that when the people want a thing they get it, somehow or other. Just now, they want the best cig arette. Some day they will decide that they want the best possible pub lic education. Then they will spend ten billions more a year instead of two billions. • ' _ /. More Cars. Aiken and Advert'Ning The following excerpt is taken from mnd address, “Advertising and Its Ef fect on Community’s Busiinesu In terests,” which was delivered to the Aiken Kiwanis Club last Thursday by one of its members: “A glance at one of our local paper., reveals the fact that of the business bouses in Aiken, outside of the pro fessional ard real estate cards, there but thirteen local business ads The “saturation point” in automo biles seems as far off as ever. For the first six months ©f 1927 General Motors sold 840,481 cars, against 620,- 190 in 1926 and 396,360 in 1925. An increase of 74,000 cars PER MONTH in ‘wo years is not bad. The big motor boom and fight are expected in the Autumn, when Henry Ford’s new car will make its bow. Ford is quoted to the effect that the coun.ry can easily absorb two mil*- lion new ears every year, since, at the present rate of car ownership, that would mean every car would have to lart six years. Mr. Ford knows that 2,000,000 new cars is a ridiuclously lew estimate. Will Rogers describes a poor family as a family “having only one car.” ^nd that is not exaggera tion. Every active individual, including bigger children in prosperous fami lies, needs his own car, and the four- car frimily will soon be numerous. Two cars to a family should be the average. To say that four million cars, trucks, etc., can easily be ab sorbed in this country every year is put.ing it mildly, assuming, of corfrse, that intelligent advertising is done n valuable newspapers, such as this one.
