MOB FOtfB. THE BARNWELL PEOPLE-SENTINEL, BARNWELL, SOUTH CAROLINA THURSDAY, JUNE 2IST, 192*. TIwBrhiwU People-Sentinel JOHN W. HOLMES 1849—1912. B. P. DAVIES, Editor aod Proprietor. Entered at the post office at Barnwell S. C., as second-class matter.' SUBSCRIPTION RATES: One Year $160 nx Months Three Months ,50 (Strictly in Advance.) _ THURSDAY, JUNE 21ST, 1928. Pennsylvania certainly live*d up to its title, “The Keystone State,” when it came to nominating: Hoover at the Republican Convention last week. ‘Barnwell 50 Years Ago.” We wonder what our readers think of this new feature, which was start ed in last week's issue of The PeopFe- Sentinel? Thinking that the news and comment of a half-century ago would prove interesting to the present generation, we started this column and it will be continued if our rea/dors think well of it. Let u s have your opinions, friends. system for nominating office-holders, candidates for the important offices in that county are not opposed. The two representatives will be returned miss. without fight or protest. The present Sato Senator has moved to Atlanta^ which left Col. Edgar "A. Brown who opposed him, a clear track when June rolled around, the finat date for runn j ng witlTfinp light and two young men from near r Barnwell made the statement ~fKat they were blinded by filing entries. Theahsence of opposi tion will tend to make the county campaign a quiet affair, and should put the office-holders and seekers on their best behaviour to render service to their constituents. For a county of South Carolina to stage a cam paign without any contests for the offices is news, indeed. Felicitations and Sympathy. We Wonder. We wonder if the fact that Sheriff Padget, of Colleton County, has three opponents in the campaign this year had anything to do with the installa tion of a telephone in his home, an nouncement of which appeared in last week’s issue of The Waltetrboro Press and Standard. An^l if such is the case, we wonder if Sheriff Dyches, of Barn well County, will have the ’phone re moved from his residence, now that 'he has no opposition in his race for re- election. It’s a funny world. Last Y eek we reproduced an edi torial from The State felicitating Barnwell County upon the fact that no opposition developed in the various races for the major county offices. Now comes . The Bamberg Heral<d sympathizing with us on the very same score. The Herald says: “We thought sure that some of the Barnwell candi-, dates ought to have opposition. We are not so sure yet that they should not.” Specify, brother—specify! birthday Thursday at the hora<P of Mrs. Edward Martin. A number of uaefp] gift* were receivejd by the tiny Reddick Still had the misfortune to runmtd aFbrdbTifhe Denmark high way, near Lee’s, about nine o’clock Wednesday evening. The Ford was the oncoming car and could not see the road bed. Only the slow speed of both cars prevented a very serious accident. Mr. Still suffered a painful cut under his left eye which had to be sewed up, and several gashes on one hand. The /driver of the other car was not hurt, but the other occupant had his left hand Severely cut, requiring several stitches; also a cut under his chin. Dr. D. K. Briggs gave the nec essary medical attention in the rear of Rush’s pharmacy. -J Friends regret that the continued ill health of Mrs. R^A.

As an expression' of the affection This issbe of The People-Sentinel may be termed a “Livestock Special Edition,” as the Livestock Special Train sponsored by the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Company and Clemson College is featured on pages tfvo and three. Thereon will be found com plete and interesting details of this special train which is visiting the various counties of South Carolina in an effort to encourage the raising of livestock and poultry on the farms of this State. This i s a most worthy un dertaking and The People-Sentinel is very glad indeed to extend its cooper ation in furthering the good work. Readers of this paper should read the descriptive articles, study the illus trations and make it a point to visit the special train when it comes to Barnwell on the afternoon of July 5th. Traffic Through Barnwell. It is interesting to note that 699 motor vehicles passed .through Barn well Monday on Highway No..3, which is recognized as a part of the best and shortest route between Northern points und Fliorida. It would seem to indicate that there is little if any let-up in' the amount of travel out of the usual so-c.alled “tourist season.” A sa matter of fact, the automobile is making every month of the year a “tourist season,” for when' those of the frozen North are not seeking a warme- climate, those in the South are traveling to the beaches or the mountains or to more distant places. Thus, there is heavy traffic through this section practically all of the time. AH of which leads us again to re mark that an excellent opportunity a- waits some live-wire to “■cash-in” on this toutist travel. Towns to the Nort v ind South of Barnwell have ' iih|iVoved their hotel facilities ahd are catering to the travelers in every way. Every effort should be made to * induce some of these tourists to at least pay us a short visit. News, Indeed. In 'illi’jitrating what is news, fr noted editor once gave this compari son: If a dog bites a man, that isn’t news; but jf a man bites a dog, that is news. By the same token, it isn’t news in South Carolina for a large number of candidates to announce for the various county offices, but when a situation arises like the one in Barn well County this year it is news worthy of display headlines and edi torial comment, and the editor of The Spartanburg Journal comments follows: v Strange things happen in politics. The Barnwell cqnrespordent of The Columbia State gives his paper the interesting news-story that for possi bly the first time in the history of that county, certainly for the first since the adoption of the primary r Twelve pounds of candy for each inhabitant are used yearly in ^the United States, says a recent report.
