Entered at the post office at Barnwell S. C., as second-class matter. SUBSCRIPTION RATES: One Year $1.60 Six Months .90 Three Months .60 (Strictly in Advance.) THURSDAY, APRIL 12TH. 1929. Somebody, we thirdi it is George M. Cohan, haa said: “Silence is the Col lege Yell of the School of Experience.” Statistics of thet vast number of people who are not walking are quite alarming. What we would like to know is how many of them have jobs. Possibly the most pathetic case on record is that of the man found weep ing because he had discovered a great recipe for home brew—and had no home! A dance fiddler claims that he taps his foot half a million times every year. Something should be attached to his shoe to utilize the energy pro duced ! . p Among the contenders who claim that they deserve a crack at Tunney is a man with two artificial legs. It seems to us that he hasn’t a leg to stand on. The New Yorker with plenty of money has his choice of buying a seat on the Stock Exchange or an eighteen th row ticket for the opening night of a Broadway musical comedy. ^ One is never lonely M with the telephone near- 2 ■S ) I mind being alone? Well, I can’t say I’m frightfully keen .about it, but there are worse things, you know, Exactly, one is never out of reach of one’s friends with a telephone near.. .When Grant is away on one of these trips, he seldom fails to call me every evening by long distance... My dear, it’s the best sort of tonic — just hearing his voice.. . No, I’m not a bit uneasy at night any more. It was his idea that we have an ex tension put in the bedroom, and you can imagine what a comfort it is, and besides it gives me such a complete sense of security.” _ Perhaps the best reason for not printirg a story telling of all the various signs of Spring reported dur- ng the month of January is that it’s likely to be snowing by the time the story appears. . Uniform Traffic (’odes Needed. Washington has estimated that in 1927 there were 26,f»lS persons killed >n highway accidents, 798,700 per sons seriously injured, aryl economic losses pf $672,097,000. TTfTs economic loss figure is exclusive of minor dam age to motor vehicles. The total killer! is an increase of 1,316 over 1926. The injuries and losses axaken one to the need of expansion of tfte nation’s road-building program, and the necessity for the immediate adop- tior of uniform traffic codes. Of course, it will be said, the human factor is the mair element contribut ing'to these accidents. But that human factor could be offset to a large extent by adequate motoring facilities and regulation. Added to that, the individual prac tice of courtesy and taution is impor tant.^ * 1 ' ■ Of late the great menace has been the M hit and run” driver. There is no more obnoxious person, than the qmi who will run on ard escape detection after hitting a pedestrian. William J. Fitzgerald, a member of the New Jersey Bar Association, has invented a device designed to put a stop- to “hit and run” driving. It may he adopted by the State for use on all automobiles. This irvention will scatter fifty metal discs with the lieen se number of the car on them on ■v . _ the ground whenever an accident oc curs. The metal (list's will he scat- tred ovor an area of twenty-five feet, and so it will be almost imposible for the “hit and uin’’ driver to stop and vollect them. The discs will fall to tho grpuryd when a trigger is released, the trigger responding to the collision of the bum per with a moving body. make good thei mistakes of the pion eers who left us a heritage of denuded forest lands as well as a lazy-minded toleranlce for exploitation of the soil.” Dr. Frank has expressed himself rather strongly, but th<re seems to be a great deal of truth in what ha said. Surely a mighty problem like that of reforestation cannot be solved by tiny driblets of effort here and them It seems to us tha\ concerted ac tion and a thorough national program, carried out to the letter of the law, is necessary' if our forests are to be preserved. The forastry situation must be kept always" in the fore of public thought, lest the depredation of our forests lead to serious consequence*. -- trank B. Willi*.— Two-piano Recital. A telephone message received yes terday morning by The People-Sen tinel from Mrs. Her person, of Bamberg, announced an interesting event of the meeting of the Federa tion of Music Clubs in Orargeburg this week. Mrs. Henderson stated That Dorsey and Frances Whittings ton, musicians of note, will give a two-piano recital in the municipal au ditorium tomorrow (Friday) evening at seven o’clock. This recital will be free and a cordial invitation is ex tended to music lovers of this section to attend. Forestry Problems Lo«.m Big. ' There is still no satisfactory solu tion of reforestaeior, problems. So many factors of civilization de pend o ” the forests that it would be impossible to imagine a civilized country that could exist without pro per forest facilities. The vast amounts of wood-pulp ustfl yearly for newsprint purposes, for one thing, make the pieservation of our forests a crying necessity if culture is to be fostered in the years to come. The President of the University of Wisconsin, Dr. Glenn Frank, recently expressed himsiilf forcibly on the mat ter of reforestation: ‘‘The fault lies,” he said, ^Mrr-patehUThedicine minds which look for a panacea that will provide an immediate) cure for our problems. “There are no pink pills for pale -.♦forestry. Conservation means more than the planting of a few trees. It olvys sweeping reform. We must Ohio is bowed in grief, and the entire Nation joins in its sorrow. For her favorite son, the distinguished Frank B. Willis, United States Sena tor and a candidate for The Kepubli- can Presidential nomination, haS - passed on to “that strange bourne from which no traveler returns.” The end came, as we are sure he. would have preferred it, in the very midst of an active career. Strieker, on a platform before an audkmce of twen ty-five hundred friends and political supporters that he was about to ad dress, he died, like a brave soldier, “with his boots on.” ' Senator Willis .was loved even by his political foes, who have paid beau tiful tribute to his record of honest, conscientipus public service. His straightforwardness brought him the de^p respect of even those who differ ed with his policies. ^ He will be missed in the political arena, and by' ajl who were fortunate \now hi • ^ B USINESO x T’lEDERO a FOR SALE:—1,500 bundles of fod der, 20-bushels “Half-and-Half” cot- tor/ see^ and 20 bushels of Cleveland Big Boll cotton seed, two years from ALL EXPENSE TOURS TO THE Coker.
