The Barnwell People-Sentinel JOHN W. HOLMES 1*4*—1912. B. P. DAVIES, Editor and Proprietor. Entered at the post office at Barnwell S. €., as second-class matter. SUBSCRIPTION RATES: 0c« Year Six Months *90 Three Months ——— >50 (Strictly in Advance.) THURSDAY, AUGUST 16, 1928. It won’t be long now until the foot ball fane will be yelling, “Touchdown, Barnwell! Touchdown, Barnwell! Republican Campaign Song. We ain’t gonna steal no more, no more; We ain’t gonna steal no more. But how in the world do the voters kViown We ain’t gonna steal no more? Tun»»ey Leaves the Ring. Gene Tunney has announced his de cision to leave the prize ring forever. Naturally, it is with a twinga of re gret that we see him go, for he has been one of the most respected ex ponents of the art of self-defense and certainly one who lifted th<» boxing game to a higher plane. He showed the world that a man might be pos sessed of exceptional mental faculties and yet engage as a fighter. Tunney was a success whether in the ring or before a class of college men giving a talk on Shakespeare. He will always be a success in whatever he under takes. For he has a keen mind, is acquaint ed with the best that has been said and done in the past, and in addition has strength and that quality known as gamoness. In his fight with Tom Heeney, he slowed up and gave the Australian a chance to recover when the latter was suffering from a badly hurt eye. He has proven in this in stance and in others that he is a true sportsman. Sportsmanship counts everywhere else as well as in the* prize ring. We may expect great things from Tunney. He has the elements of character that were instilled in him by his exper ience in th<< ring—here they are, as be mentions them himself: “Stamina, confidence, patience, self-denial, bodily fitness, mental alertness and courage.’’ In leaving the ring, Tunney empha sized that he had no brief against the prize ring as such. He said rightly that no man is bigger than his pro fession. He simply stated that the period of a man’s usefulness in the prize ring is limited, and that ho pre- ferreo to retire from it while still going strong. Good luck to him! Mechanizing Fool. Alarming news comes from chemists meeting in Chicago. They predict the eventual wiping out of agriculture. They say^.thirty men working in a factory the size of a city block can produce in tho form of yeast as much food as 10,000 men tilling 57,000 acres The time may come, it was said at this meeting, when the pressure of population will create a situation where chemists will convert sunlight and gasfis of the air into food that will sustain the human body. Such a situa tion may arise only many, many years from now, the scientists agree. We are glad. Picture an existence where eating would be mechanical. Thing of hav ing a tablet of concentrated food or a cake of yeast for each meal. Then think of turkey and fixings, the cran berry sauce, and all the other delicious things we have on our tables on Thanksgiving Day. Or, for that mat ter, think of an ordinary square meal. Which would you rather have— the tablet or the meal ? What a sorry thing life would be in that far distant time predicted by the scientists! It reminds us of a story that Stephen Leacock, Canandian humorist, once wrote, in which he visualized a distant era when all food would be concentrated in tablets. The big fami ly in this story sat about a table, in the center of which was their Thanks giving Dinner in the form of a tiny pill. Before the father had the chance to divide the pill into tiny pieces for TAKING CASH FROM WOMEN TUNNET RETIRES COLOR IN MOnON PICTURES A PENNY PLUS 900 YEARS In New York a nurse, fifty-two years*old, about to retire from hard work, kills herself. Her life’s savings had been lost in a mining swindle. Real estate sharks / oil sharks, all kinds of sharks, swindle women. They believe, poor things, what they want to believe, that they are to be made rich. Women should not invest in what THEY DO NOT UNDER STAND. They should not buy land that they have not seen. And having seen it, they should think it over, examine it several times, consult some skeptical friends, then wait a month, and see it again. Don't believe fairy tales. Ask yourself, “Just how*would I, me, myself, not somebody else, actu ally make a living out of that land? Or, if it is to be sold at a profit, how do I know that I can self it at a profit? And why doesn’t the man keep it and take the huge profit himself?* If you are leaving money to wife or daughters, fix things so that no other man will be able to geb it from them. A great fire raging over farm lands in the Northwest bums 75,000 acres of wheat and pastur age. Homes and ranches are burned with crops, farmers fight ing it in vain. would it be possible to equip a fleet of airplanes with chemical apparatus for extinguishing fire, to deal with a disaster of this kind? Aircraft manufacturers and those that manufacture chemicaJ fire extinguishers might answer that question. Dr. Langsner, marvelous hypno tist of Vienna, does and says things to worry the criminal* By hynotism * he caused a young criminal, Verno Booher, to confess after fifteen minutes the murder of his mother, sister and two hired men. To Correct a Misunderstanding. The Subject For Hu New Picture By Attmt T. Gene Tunney, whom certain rizefight “fans” don’t like, because has brains and thev haven't, retires from the ring. That, it is said, will “hurt the game,** which is too bad. No matter what champion they may develop to collect money from fools, it can ■never be proved that he could have beaten Tunney.

J. R. Harrison. Tunney, you read, “it going to Paris to-study philosophy.’’ An excellent place. The Sorbonne is well equipped. But the important thing is to BE a philosopher, not merely a student of other philosophers. If Tunney can take his $2,000,- 000 quickly earned out of prize fighting and stay out he will have proved himself a philosopher. Mr. Eastman, king of all kinds of photography, announces per- fected moving pictures in colors. With that announcement, pictures reach full development, MOTION, COLOR. SOUND. • Now you will see the heroine’s, or the vampire’s rolling eyes, hear the voices that lure men to their doom • The moving picture stage will show all that the living stage can show. —- *> •••—■ Talking movies will put a premium on intelligence. ' A culti vated voice indicates a cultivated mind, and cannot be created over night Roman coins dug up after 2,000 years tre worth in silver and gold only what they were worth when buried. • This shows the importance of keeping your money earning in terest. A silver penny, like the one mentioned in the Bible, put out at interest compounded annu ally for only 900 years, would amount to $1,270,000,000,000. That’s more money than there is in the world. - In The Willston Way July 26th un der the head, “Different Views on Re sult of Barnwell Meeting,” there ap peared an account of this meeting car rying a Bamwtdl date line, which was copied from the daily press. Mr. L. P. Boylston, who called the meeting in question also wtx>te The Willston Way in connection with this meeting, as follows: .. “On account of your publishing the invitation I offered last week I would th«i individual members of the family, be glad if through the columns of group, Baby grabbed it and swallowed, your paper you would state that the it. It was a dreadful calamity. Of course Baby died. But, says Leacock, he had the happy «mile on his face of a little boy who had eaten all of a family Thanksgiv ing Dinner! object of the meeting, in a great measure, was accomplished. The shackkn as described as unbreakable are most assuredly going to come loose. Rule 32 will be abolished.” Acting upon this request we also Dcfiaak Gang Says WHAT IS WORTH WHILE? The difference probably between the man of good judgment and the scatter-brain is that the former emphasizes the important things and lets alone the unimportant, wMle the latter is equally in earnest about them all. A man has reached a great point in his career when he can sec a lot of things make no difference to him. He has a certain end in view and only appreciates the things that bear on that end. Other matters make no difference. The line that divides the successful man from the unsuccessful is usually the fact that the successful man never loses sight of the goal he has in view, while the unsuccessful man runs about hither and thither Tike an ant. Helias activity, but it is largely waste motion. Every once in a while you hear on the street the expression, “What’s the big idea ?” The big idea seems to stand for the main and informing purpose for which anything is done or said. The big idea is like the perfect design of the building in the mind and the trestle boiard of the architect. He gives to every man his work and puts every piece of material in its place. I have read some novels that seemed to be a mere frittering away of my time, for there was no dominant thought about which they were written. Religious belief in a way simply means that a man has some big idea about his life, and all of his words and deeds must conform to this plan. Music is only merely a pleasant succession of sounds. It must have unity and form and individuality. There must be a big idea behind it. The idea is bigger than the man that has it. A man becomes great only when he allows himself to be absorbed in the idea. Many people suffer because their energies are fritted away. They have no cohesive plan, and everything they do is hit or miss. They never amount to anything, because there is no bigf Idea behind them. Search yourself carefully to find your dominating desire, and seec that it is such as can merit your giving up all your life to it. Then you will come to success on board a big idea when you never would have attained it otherwise. * in; question, therefore, wore not in position to give from personal obser vation the results of the meeting other than that contained in the story ap pearing in the daily papers and the letter of Mr. Boylston. We are, therefore, glad to supply the source of our information at the request of our esteemod contemporary —The Barnwell-People-Sentinel.

We felt keenly then and feel even more strongly today the danger of any change in this rule, yet we ap preciate the fact that some of the best citizens of the county and State £■ se<i the matter otherwise. With these we have no argument other than to say we fear the outcome of any tam pering with our party rules under the conditions as they now exist. If the article in this paper caused anyone to think that we doubted the accuracy of the story sent to the daily papers from Barnwell or the one ap pearing on July 2dth in The People- Sentinel, we are glad to correct this impression.—The Williston Way.
