B. P. DAVIES, Editor and Proprietor. Entered at the post office at Barnwell lecond-elaea Matter.—— WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON SUBSCRIPTION RATES: One Year VrrTi $160 Six Montha *90 Three Month! ,60 (Strictly In Advance.) THURSDAY, JULY 2HTH, 1928. Mr. Boy 1st on’s Meeting. As wa s to have been expected, the meeting called by Mr. L. P. Boylston, of Healing Springs, failed to meet with a sympathetic response on the part of the people of Barnwell County, and the fact that the only two at tendants are supporters of Governor Smith should be sufficient notice that, with possibly a very few exceptions, the Democrats of Barnwell County will 4 ‘stand to the rack” this year as they have done in the past. It is mighty easy to boast of what we will or will not do in politics, but when it comes to the test there are mighty few white Democrats in South Carolina who will deliberately turn their backs on the party that freed the State from radical musrule in 1876 and has stood squarely for white supremacy ever since. We have a high regard for Mr. Boylston. We have always looked upon him as our friend, as we are his. He is honest in his convictions and he is brave enough to stand by them. Whether or not he and others who think as he does are right, only time can tell, but right or wrong we would hesitate to espouse a cause that is fraught with such grave danger of imperiling white supremacy in South Carolina. In our humble opinion there are things that could happen that would be much worse that the ele.tion of A1 Smith. Blackville, July 21.—One of the seaeon’! prettiest parties was that given Tuesday afternoon at 4:30 at their home on Pascallas street, Mrs. T. L. Wragg and daughter, Mtsi Doro- Dorchcster County Politi c s. As we remarked a short time ago, the political situation in Dorchester County is in marked contrast to the quietness of Barnwell, County politics. We might state again that we know nothing of the situation there othet* than what we have read in the papers, and these remaiks may be just an other case of ‘Tools rushing in where angels ear to tread.” “Bossy” Lime- house and his faction may be just as bad as they are being painted by their opponents, or they may be just as good as their friends claim them to be. That is neither here nor there, and what we started out to say is that the faction opposing Sheriff Limehouse is indeed “in desperate plight,” as the Dorchester County Record remarks, when a “poem” by “a colored boy, Id years old,” abusing the officers chosen by the white Democrats of Dorchester County and praising those opposing them, is published in the official news paper of the anti-Limehouse faction. The Record rightly advises negroes "to keep out of the white men’s poli tics in this county.” If nothing more, this incident shows the imperative necessity of preserving white supremacy in South Carolina and should serve as a warning to those who are playing with fire by giv ing aid and comfort to .the Republi cans in the national campaign. It should serve to show them the impera tive necessity of observing the full spirit and intent of Rule 32 of the Democratic party, which the State Chairman construes as meaning ‘‘act ive support” of the Democratic nomi nees in the general election. We can not afford to place ourselves in the po sition of appealing to the negroes to decide our elections. To say the least, the publication of the "poem” is in bad taste and we cannot believe that it is endorsed by a majority of the anti-Limehouse fac tion. Geo. W. Anderson Celebrates Birthday A birthday dinner was held at the home of Mr. Geo. W. Anderson on July 11th, in honor of his 84th birthday. His children, grandchildren and a few friends were present, among them being hiS^fSrmer pastor, the Rev. B. F. Foreman, who was given the head of the table and asked the blessing.

The fly’s mouth and tongrue are cov ered with fine hairs. Consequently some of the filth in which they mess clingy to them. And the microscope discloses these tiny drops of unspeak able uncleanliness alive with bacteria- disease germs. A fly may infe?t anything it touches. Milk, food, baby’s eyes, open wounds are favorite sources of infection. But with FLY-TOX a house can be kept free of flies and similar insects. FLY-TOX is fragrant, stainless.

Only 25 cities in the United States would be as big. But almost every city and town in the South —the hundreds of communities served by the Southern—have a part in “Southern City.” / • ~ - ' * « U-It---— r ♦ , In these communities the 60,000 Southern t men and women who operate the Southern Railway System live and work. To the up building of these communities, stimulating business and prosperity, goes the $90,000,OCX) they earn each year, as well as the taxes paid by the Southern and the large amounts of money it spends in the South for materials and supplies. The Southern is always striving to build up the South by bringing in new people, nejw capital, new industry; by constantly working with the farmer to improve agricultural con ditions, and by providing safe, swift, econom ical transportation. These efforts are dictated by sound business considerations. The Southern can prosper only as the South grows and develops. r? Since 1920 tbs Southern has span! $160,000,000 for new equipment, and other improvements. The greater part of this money wee spent in the South, stimolating Southern prosperity.
