Easter is a reason of lovliness and thankfulness, a holiday beautiful be yond words. It is at this time that flowers come to bloom and all Nature takes on the aspect of Spring. It is at this time that men with faith the world over rejoice in the contentment engendered by that faith. On Easter Sunday we take our af ternoon walks, dressed in the modes of the moment. Just as the very ground beneath us is bedecking itself for the occasion, so do we put on our prettiest to mark this significant day. But our observance of Easter must not he only an exterior one, apparent only in the garments that we don. To be really in line in the Easter parade, it is necessaiy to feel inward ly the great emotions that Easter should create. The hallowed tradi tions of the holiday must permeate us—we should not alone dress better, but should also be higher spiritually on this day of days. More important than all, we should on this day go to our churches and bow our heads in prayer to the Master whose blessings follow us at every •tep. Native of Harwell Cheers Carolina.. mention of any arrests for exceeding the speed limit, we presume that none was made. And what a splendid op portunity was paesed up to enrich the county treasury and at the same time curb the desire of other ama teur racers to break the record of 70 miles thus established, with the at tendant danger to other users of the road! A Fight on His Hands. It begins to look as though Sena tor C. L. Blease will have quite a fight on his hands in the campaign next year—and the fight will come whether he runs for reelection or as a candidate for governor, as many pre dict will be the case. The fiery Sena tor emphatically denies the dharge that he contributed $500 in 1921 to Joe Tolbert’s Republican campaign fund, but that charge, like Banquo’s ghost, is going to be hard to “stay put,” regardless of whether it be false, as the junior Senator contends. It is going to be woven and inter woven with Senator Blease’s vote on numerous occasions with the Grand Oil Party, in spite of the fact that his oath as a candidate for the high office he now holds requires him to “support the political principles and policies of the Democratic party dur r ing the term of office” to which he was elected and further requires him to work in accord with his Democratic associates in Congress on all party questions. The People-Sentinel prefers to be lieve that the Senator is innocent of this charge—not that we have any particular liking or admiration for the man but rather for the great re spect i n which we hold the Senatorial toga that illustrious predecessors wore with such dignity and honor to them selves and the great State they rep resented. In Memoriam—Henry Hutto. Barnwell County boys and girls have a habit of making good. Many of these ate known personally to the present generation, but every now and then other distinguished citizens claim this as their native heath. One of these is Clark Howell, editor of the Atlanta ('onstitution. How many readers of The People-Sentinel knew the he was born in Barnwell? This information was contained in a recent editorial that appeared in The Columbia Record under the caption, ‘Mr. Howell Cheers Carolina.” It is reproduced herewith: (lark Howell, eminent editor of The Atlanta Constitution, has been to all intents and purposes a Georgian for a long time, comparatively speaking, but he never has shown any desire to forget that he was born at Barnwell, .South Carolina, or that he ha 8 lost in terest in his native State. Speaking before the Charleston Ro tary Club at the Francis Marion Hotel the other day, Mr. Howell reminded Charlestonians that they did not ap pear to realize their resources, attrac tions and advantages. These things, he charitably concluded are perhaps too near Charlestonians for them to get the proper perspective. We think Editor Howell makes the logical conclusion and he might well have grouped all South Carolina in his ^picture. If the people of the whole commonwealth would wake up day after tomorrow with a distinct will to sell South Carolina, as Florida, Cali fornia, and North Carolina have been doing for some years, the State would blossom as a rose over night. Over in St. Matthews, according to The Calhoun Times, the owner of a new Ford roadster and the proud possessor of a Chevrolet Six got into en argument over the speed of their respective cars. Ford challenged \Jhevrolet to a race to settle the dis pute. The course, w T e are told, w’as between a store and a filling station three miles distant, presumably over a public highway. The Chevrolet is *aid to have “nosed out by a scant three or four feet, after attaining the bigh speed of seventy miles an hour. This race has settled the question of supremacy between, the Chevrolet and Ford as to speed and power, but we ■will leave it for the reader to decide 'which he or she prefers,” says The Times. The lawful speed limit on a put highway is, we believe, 45 miles hour. Under certain conditions that speed would be considered rei loss and excessive. Then what of t •utomibiles, evidently traveli abreast and occupying practica the width of the roadway since wa§ “nosed out” by the other 4 a scant three or four feet” ? Supp drivers of other cars, unaware highway had been turned tempo into a race-course, had ventu while the race was in Hilda, March 22.—The many friends of Henry Hutto were grieved to learn of his death, which oecuir*»d Tuesday morning, February 19th, at 1:00 o’- clo<k at his home. He wag K8 years of age and was one of the old Confederate Veterans. ; He was horn August 18, 1840. He , fought bravely and vigorously in the Civil War from 1801 to 1805. He fought for freedom and believed it to be his duty for his country and | friends. He was honorable, chivalrous and loyal. He had not been sick but two weeks when the fair angels took him away I to the hle-sd home above, where we I will meet him again some day. Fureral services were held at the Friendship Baotist Church by the Rev. W. R. Davis, of Williston. His body wa> laid to re t in the Friendship cemetery Wednesday mornirg, Feb- j ruary 20th, at 11:00 o’do.k. A large conccurse of relatives and friends gathered to pay their last tribute of respect. The flowers that covered his last resting place, attested | in some measure the esteem in which he was held. He was a Mason and was buried by the Masons. He held the respect and confidence of the peo ple. Surviving him are the following: Three sisters, Mrs. Lizzie Still, of near Barnwell; Mrs. Susie Dyehes, of Swansea, and Mrs. Julia Lancaster, of Georgia; eleven children, William and Wash Hutto, of Barnwell; Augustus and Sammie Hutto, of Hilda; Benja min Hutto, of Denmark; Mrs. Lucy and Emma Creech, of Hilda; Mrs. Mag and Mrs. Susan Ray, of Nashville, Ga.; Mrs. Sallie Hutto ,of Alabama, and Mrs. Annie Dehay, of Denmark; about 65 grandchildren, and a large number of great grandchildren, who have the sincere sympathy of the en tire county in their bereavement. a He is gone but not forgotten, Never will his memory fade; Loving thoughts will always linger Around the grave where he is laid. —Great Granddaughter.
