Entered at the poet office at Barnwell S.

THURSDAY, JULY 19TH, 1928. A local wap remarked a short time ago that some people are for prohi bition on the theory that “prohibition is better than no licfuor at all.” When finding fault with A1 Smith because he is a “wet,” it migh be well to remember that “Andy” Mellon, Secretary of the Treasury, is said to have made a considerable part of his vast fortune from distilleries and breweries; that the Secretary of the Treasury is charged with the enforce ment of the prohibition law; that the present Secretary of the Treasury (Melon) “cinched” the nomination of Herbert Hoover at Kansas City in June when he gave the former Secre tary of Commerce Pennsylvania’s dele gates; and that unless Hoover is more of an ingrate than we think he is, Mellon will probably be continued in his present position in case of Republi can victory in November. What’s the answer? y Arthur BriabaiM ^ REAL FIGHTER ENJOY AN AUTO NOW DISCOURAGING CRIMINALS MAN IS SELFISH Senator Jim Reed, who says*he leaves the Senate next March, to practice law, should change his mind. % Others can practice law as well as he. Few can put important truths with emphasis such as his. Have you read what Reed said, denouncing the League of Nations, in 1919? “I decline to set up any govern ment greater than that established by the fathers, greater than that baptized in the blood of patriots from the lanes of Lexington to the forests of the Argonne, greater than that sanctified by the tears of all the mothers whose heroic sons have gone down to death to sustain its glory and its independence. I decline to set- up any government greater than the Government of the United States of America.’ 1 Candidates’ Assessnients. Comparisons have been made and various newspapers have commented on the assessments placed on candi dates in the various counties this year. Barnwell County has had its place in the discussions and in some instances “ar-tick-els” have been “w T rit” for the newspapers by private individuals. The People-Sentinel noins no brief for the members of the eotmty execu tive committee, who are charged with providing funds to defray the expenses of the elections. From a selfish stand point, we welcome a large number of candidates, for that means increase^! revenue for the newspaper. But there is one little matter that seems to have escaped the attention of the critics so far as this county is concerned and we call it to the attention of our readers in order to keep the records straight. It is nothing more nor less than a resolution adopted, by the coun ty executive committee providing that if more than enough money be raised than is needed to defray the election costs, the surplus be refunded to the candidates on a pro rata basis. In other words, had there been a full field of candidates this year, the as sessment for Sheriff and Clerk of Court would have been around $75 to $100,instead of $200; for State Sen ator $50 to $75 instead of $150, and so on down the line. On the other hand, had the committee fixed the assessments a^ the above low figures and little or no opposition developed in the various races, who would have paid the costs pf the election? The cost of the election this year will be less than it was in 1926, (when a substantial refund was made to the . * candidates), because this summer there will be no second primary ex cept in four or five small precincts, with the consequent saving in pay for managers and printing ballots. And the cost per candidate would have been still further reduced if each aspirant had been opposed by another office- seeker, a? it costs almost as much to hold an election where there is no opposition as it does when the woods are full of job-hunters. ^ However, the present plan could he 'improved uron and we make the fol lowing suggestion for .1930: Estimate the approximate cost of two elections, including the necessary printing, pay of managers, etc.; the number of of fices to be filled is known; assume that only one candidate will offer for each place and make the assessments suf ficient to cover the costs if there is no opposition, and then provide that where there are two or more candi dates for a certain office the amount of the assessment be prorated among the aspirants for that particular race. For instance, the assessment for Sher iff is placed at $200; two candidates would automatically cut it to $100 each, three to $66.67, four to $50, and ao on. Each candidate would be re quired to pa^ the full amount to the party and the “refund would he made the day following the close of the entries. Then, if no opposition de veloped to an office-holder, he would pay the full amount of Die assess ment—and we daresay would be glad to do so. But even under tne present plan,^ Hwre is nothing prohibitive in the as- ■essments if a man can raise the en try fee and get along without a part largely to Reed’s good wi shy-was hies did not Thanks fighting, the wishy succeed in dragging this country into a European super-government. Such a man ought to be in public . life, fighting to his last day. In big cities hundreds of thou sands go for their holiday in auto mobiles. A philosopher said, "Most of the cars are not paid \for. In thousands of cases they represent money that might have meant in dependence in old age." The automobiles represent money spent for health, pleasure and time saving NOW. Not one in ten is really independent iti old age, nor was he before automobiles came. Better buy a car, enjoy it, and use the added health and time saved to work for independence. No car, wisely used, ever made a man poor. _ rr *., Rear-Admiral Bradley A. Fiske offers a suggestion to discourage criminals.. The automobile fs the criminal’s "getaway." He drives up, robs a store, shoots down objectors,jumps into his automobile and is gone.^^ Rear-Admiral Fiske suggests that following an automobile hold-up all auto traffic be stopped in city streets. T suggest that the police sound three or four whistles, all police men hearing it to pass it along. Traffic w^uld stop, cars would be searched. Any man ignoring the signal would be identified as a :n minal.” >-#1ttacm ,^ ♦ On warships, says Admiral Fiske, when men get out of control the b.:gler sounds "Attention!" Every man then <tands where* he is, or proves himself mutinous.

Bolshevism gave peasants the land, taking it from worthless nobles. That suited the peasants. Then Bolshevism told the peas ants how much they might charge for their crops, how much they must bring to the cities, etc. That did NOT suit the peasants. They cut down wheat acreage, causing dangerous shortage, and Russia is looking everywhere for cash wheat, with iirmttdiate delivery, and shto5 to carry it. You cannot safely interfere with man’s most important mainspring, which is SELFISHNESS. you will actually see and hear all of the latest curient events of the world. No doubt the theatre will be packed to its capacity every minute of the day and night, so the management kindly requests that everypna attend as early performance as possible so as to avoid the night rush. friends of the couple wish for them much happiness and prosperity.

The old method of each person selling their own cotton by getting local buyers to make a bid, and then just taking the “Highest Price,” is recognized as bad business.. For the simple reason the “Highest Bid” may be many dollars under the market value. How; many peopje can grade cotton? There are 26 different grades and the moTiey difference between them is great. The present age demands specialists and having been in tjiis business all of my hie, besides having a competent organization, I can assure you each bale sent to me will be handl ed in such a manner you will get its FULL VALUE—and not jdst the “highest bid.” Liberal advances at any time. $1.00 covers the expense of selling each bale and if you hold your cotton, only 50c per bale per month is charged, which covers everything.
