THE BARNWELL PEOPLE-SENTINEL, BARNWELL, SOUTH CAROLINA THURSDAY, DECEMBER A 1*27. (■pH t- v B. P. DAVIES, Editor uui Proprietor. Entered at the poet office at Barnwell S. C., aa second-clase matter. SUBSCRIPTION RATES: Dm Year $1-50 Six Months AO (Three Months ,60 (Strictly in Advance.) THURSDAY, DECEMBER 8. 1927. Truth of the matter is, too much of this stunt flying is really dunce flying. Many a man’s idea of charity is to give unto others tho advice he can’t use himself. Holy roller who let a snake bite him to test his faith, did a little holy roll ing afterwards. The man who boasts of his family tree is seldom the one to saw wood ' and say nothing. . It’s easy enough 4o bear other peo ple’s burdens. They are always so mdch lighter than ours. About the worst start a couple can make on the s<a of matrimony is to “charge” the wedding ring. EXTERNAL BOOTLEG. — Now they’re making bo<£e from iodine, but it isn't deadly if used as iodine. When a woman attempts to drive a nail, she ought to have a man around to do her swearing for her. Even sympathy may be overdone. Some of us are never happy unless we are feeling sorry for someone else. • ' "-'..Aw-**■*#>**' we has been tuny bringing “a little gift of roses," Henry pre sented an eager world with a whole flow,r garden. Darwin took a million years to make a man out of a monkey, but man can make a monkey out of him self in hajf a second.

Henry Ford has been singing “The World Is Waiting , for the Surprise." Now he can sing "In the Shade of the Old Model T." DON’T CHEER YET—Evening gowns now are cut to the heels on one stdo and to the hip on the other. There’s no occasion to “hip, hip" over a one-hip affair. Now that the carnival has "came and went," and the new Ford car has been on display in Barnwell, thern’s nothing left to look forward to this year except Christmas. New York police arrested 2 000 motorists in one week for violating over-time parking law and the jam in traffic court on trial day was so great a new court house ia to be built >m- JMdiataly—which*-sj onojbkw lesjOTi tt JOrnanetiig -a pioposition. • ♦ -We see that President Coolidge agrees with our oft-expressed opinion that the banks of the South can pre vent a surplus of cotton and bring about better prices for the staple by refusing credit for a big acreage. Such an expression in his message to Congress Tuesday is said to have been reponsible for a 20-point advance in price. One can easily imagine what would happen if his suggestion were put into actual practice. Tk+S/ffar. - SAM, YOU READ THAT?

Barnwell’s loss is Spring- field’s gain, and it only remains for his friends to wish him "Good luck and God-sp*«d." Precedent. \ The National Association of Mand- facturecs has protested against Uncle \ « Sam’s entrance into the field of manu- factuie or power development as un fair to private industry, which is compelled to pay taxes anu insurance and the like. For some time now the Government has been competing with the printers of the country through its practice of printing special request return ad dresses on stamped envelopes. Aifrl these printers must pay taxes, insur ance. rent and all the other expenses to which any form of private industry is subjected. This practico of printing envelopes is dinky business and bad business for Uncle Sam. The National Editorial Association and other organizations are waging war upon it.

Humphries to another field of endeavor, but we at least have the consolation of knowing he will be only 20 milos away. During his all- too-short stay in this city, Mr. Hum phries has endeared himself to the members of his own congregation not only (as Woodrow Wilson would say), but also to the members of other oon- gregat'ons t s well. He in. great meas ure was responsible for, the building of the beautiful new church building on Main Street and it had been con fidently hoped that he would have the pleasure and privilege of delivering the fir«t aermon* therein.

This includes, of course, the printing busi ness. If the bills fail, a new four-year contract between the Govermflient and the envelope manufacturers will prob ably be entered io*o, and the practice will bo continued.
