Fewer Pagea This Week.
On account of the non-arrival
of the “mats ,, for our various
features, including the serial
story, etc., it was necessary to
reduce the numbtor of pages in
The People-Sentinel this week.
The sixth installment of tha
story, ‘The Human Spinix,” will
appear next week and regularly
thereafter.
Let’s Economite.
In his card of thanks in last week’s
issue of The People-Sentinel, Mr. T. J.
Langley, who was nelected as one of
the Commissioners of Public Works,
stated that he favors a consolidation
of the offices of city clerk and clerk
to the commission, thus effecting a
saving of about $1,000 a year to the
taxpayers of Barnwell. The People-
Sentinel heartily endorses Mr. Lang-
Iwy’s stand on this matter as it seems
a useless waste of the public’s money
to have two clerks and maintain) two
separate office* when the same results
could be accomplished with one.
As we understand it, the town has
lost considerable revenue in the way
of taxes, etc., ir* the past two or three
y*«rs and the receipts from lights and
water have been reduced considerably,
which makes it increasingly hard for
these two bodies to operate as former
ly. As matters now stand, the city
father* have found it impossible to
meet the expenses of the town, includ
ing salaries, interest, etc., and set
asid<< a sinking fund as required by
law, even though they have not been
payirg the Commission for street
lights and other items of expense
h*v« been reduced. The commission
ers have barely managed to break
evHn and find it impossible to accumu
late a surplus even though they charge
an extremely high rate for current and
water. As a matter of fact, the rotes
are well nigh prohibitive and compel
consumers to economize rigidly.
Thenifore, if there be any way by
which economies can he effected, with
a consequent saving to the taxpayers
and the users of lights and water, The
People-Sentinel heartily approves it
and believes that it voices the unani
mous approval of ft llow’-sufferers.
We urge the members of the commis-
aior. at.d the town council to put these
ecenemies mlo effect as soon as pos-
aible.

BEATING THE MOON.
SINKABLE LIFE GUARDS.
A* NOBLE EFFORT.
A WOMAN AT 49. v
Men have already beaten the moon
in its journey around the earth. The
moon’s trip takes a little more than
twenty-seven days. Fliers have made
the trip in twenty-three days.
Beating the moon around the earth
is one achievement. The next will
be to TIE the sun in its apparent
journey around the earth.
With machines flying 1,000 miles
an "hour, gentlemen wanting a pro
longed sun bath will be able r o fly
directly under the sun, following it
around the earth " for twenty-four
hours or longer
New York’s Civil Service Commis
sion investigated the qualities of life
guards, hired by politicians to pro
tect New York City's beaches. They
were supposed to dash into the
boiling surf and save the drowning.
It was found that of 163 guards 15
couldn’t swim a stroke, 18 more re
fused to “risk the swimming test in
the water.” They thought it too dan
gerous. In the words of Mr. Cook,
of Los Angeles, imagine their em
barrassment when anyone cried
’‘help.” There may be something in
the statement that politicians are not
fit to attend to any kind of bufiness.
In New York they certainly are
not fit to select life guards.
* «
When a gasoline launch exploded
on North Bay, Ontario, a priest, a
man and wife and their two children
were thrown into the water All but
the father perished. *
With his two little children, one
aged two years, one only a month
old, in his arms, the father endeav
ored to swim to the shore, a mile
away. • «•
But, exhausted, he was obliged to
drop the children He reached the
shore alone.
It was a noble effort. The only
difference between a father and a
mother in such a case is that THE
MOTHER WOULD HAVE DIED
WITH THE CHILDREN.
Ethel Barrymore, forty-nine years
old yesterday, told friends she was
enjoying life “as much as ever.”
She ought to be enjoying life
MORE than ever.
For an intelligent woman real Htc
begins at forty-nine. Wise Provi
dence won’t let women do important
mental work much before fifty. Up
to that age Nature intends women to
be busy with children.
Roy Chapman Andrews, searching
for strange things in Central Asia,
reports finding an extinct monster
“as big as the Woolworth Building ”
Such an animal, if carnivorous,
could carry home in its mouth a
couple of big elephants and walk
through an ordinary city crushing
buildings as it went.
But it had a small head, tittle or no
thinking power That is why it is
no longer with us.
A great nation, and good pace
maker, is Canada. This year’s Cana
dian wheat crop, 500,000.000 bushels,
breaks all records. And Canadians
have just dedicated a National Park,
in the northern part of the Province
of Saskatchewan, 900,000 acres in
extent.
Doing things in a big way is Can
ada’s habit, and this country is glad
to have so able and friendly a neigh
bor. a
Uncle Sam contributed to Canada’s
wheat growers when he dug the Pan
ama Canal, letting all nations use it
on the same terms as ourselves. * *•
Through that canal. Canadians in
the Northwest can deliver wheat in
Europe much more cheaply than our
Middle Western fanner* can deliver
it.
Card c€ Thanks.
We wish to thank the good people
of Reedy Branch and Barnwell for
the kindness shown us during the
sickness and death of our little son,
Roger, Jr. t also for the floral offerings.
May God bless each and every one.

DcErank Crane Says
EMPLOYING THE DEAF
i
What people want, moat of all, that is, the self-respecting kind of
people, is not charity but employment.
A man who can work at all wants to do his bit.
The moat commendable trait in a human being is a desire to stand
on his own feet and.»g£t himself off other peoples’ backs. When you
give a man a job, therefore, you give a boost to his personality. You
help him respect himself.
When you give a man charity It depresses his personality and
Encourages that spirit in him which makes him a pauper.
We are all sorry for deaf people and none of ns would object to
giving them a quarter now and then to help them along. But this
is the cheapest thing we can do. It is mere sop to sentiment. It is
giving a little of our surplus money to relieve ourselves of the respon
sibility of giving our time and interest and effort. - J "~ ■ 4
» The American Federation of Organizations for the Hard of Hearing
with headquarters at Washington, D. C, is seeking to help the deaf
by finding them jobs. The New York League for the Hard of Hearing
has done a great deal for the unemployed deaf.
These organizations arc investigating constantly occupations in
which the deafened can make good, giving advice as to chance of occu
pations or as to training for available occupations.
For instance, it suggested to a deafened fur salesman that he give
up the salesmanship of fur for fur cutting, and he is making a success
in that line, whereas he was failing in the former line.
A New York store employed hard of hearing cash girls with success
because the crash of noise of the carriers does not distract them.
There are many occupations which a deaf person can pursue,
although he is handicapped in many.
. The public should realize that the best way to help deaf people,
as well as other crippled or impaired people, is to give them employ
ment, and the employers of the country would do a great deal more
good giving work to people than they could do in giving them charity
or dispensing largess in any way.
It is not urged that people should let their sympathy interfere with
their business, but wherever their business can be carried on just as
well by those who need it the job should be given them. • ^
The deaf of the country appeal to you not for occasional chanty,
but for a chance to work and support themselves.

COTTON FACTOR — AUGUSTA, GA.
WISDOM! A COMMON SENSE!
ARE YOU GOING TO USE EITHER?
The old method of each person selling their own cotton by getting
buyers to make a bid, and then just taking the “Highest Price,” it recogni
as bad businesa. For the simple reason the “Highest Bid” may be
dollars under the market value.
How many people can grade cotton? There are 26 different grades and
the money difference between them is great. The present age demands
specialists and having been in this business all of my life, 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 just the
“highest bid.” 4
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.
