Entered at the poet office at Barnwell S. C., ae aecond-claaa matter. SUBSCRIPTION RATES: One Year |1 M Six Months W Three Months — fW (Strictly hi Adrance.) THURSDAY, MAY, 23RD, 1929. The Citadel “Hunger Strike” After refusing to eat any mealg in the messhall at The Citadel Tueeday of last week, the “hunger strike” at that imetitution was called off Wed nesday when hard-boiled eggs were served the cadets at breakfast. The following morning the boy* again re fused to eat breakfast when the menu was not what they thought it should be. No disorder whaever marked the protest against the quality of the rations being served at South Caroli na's military college and this fact alone won a great deal of sympathy for the “strikers.” The authorities claim that until the strike was called they knew nothing of any dissatisfaction and that the fare is as good as may be expected with “mass preparation.” As to the first claim it would seem there has been inefficiency somewhere if the meals have been as rotten as the ca dets claim and the officials of the in situation were unaware of the fact. As to the latter claim, it might be pointed out that there are many in stitutions in this country as large as or larger than The Citadel where ex cellent menua are served to the stu dents. The enrollment at Winthrop College, for Instance, is several hun dred more than at the military college and we understand that the charges for board are the same at both insi- tuiona. So far one has beard no gen eral complaint from the girls. The “mass preparation” of meals for the enlisted men at Parris Islam! is in line with that at The Citadel ami visit ing cadets were delighted with the meals served them at a cost of eight cent* a day less than they are paying. The People-Sentinel is of the opin- k>n that the Board of Visitors should make a thorough investigation of con dition! in the kitchen and messhall at the college. If the present commis- aary lyatem ia wrong, steps should be t*k*n to improve it before another •eaaion. If the amount charged for board ia not acjequate to feed the |>oys wholesome, palatable food, the rate should be increased. The parents of the boys are paying the charges fixed by the institution and they have a right to expect their money’s worth. On the other hand, if the “strike” was the result of vivid imagination on the part of 700 cadets, that fact should be ascertained. The kind of advertising that was given The Citadel last week is not the sort that will increase the enroll ment another year. the doggie. The next customer called upon was a hog, but the sow said: “No! Come away children,” with the added admonition. “Let this he a warning to you.” Finally he tried MAN and found him a regular and piofitable customer. Surely man does not fully realise just what he is doing when he becomes a prey to the kind of stuff that only man will drink.—Wal- terboro Press ar.<d Standard. A New Wrinkle. In Other Sanctums Another Read Hog. 1 Th' Belton Ne »s discovers a new type of “road he.g.” The News calls him the “aplasher” and describes him at the giddy-headed fellow who dashes his car into a puddle of water and spatters mud over other persons and cars that happen to bo within range xrf his car. The public highways are full of them, and The News does will to cias* them with the “road hogs.” Another type of driver that might be placed m the same class is the ill-bred fellow who delights in sneak ing up behind your car and dashing t>y without so much as the courtesy xrf tooting his horn. The roads are, full of this kind. But there ia noth ing that can* be done about it. Human nature is the same now that it was nix thousand years ago. The gentle man and the ruffian we have had *rith us always. A man who is a gen*- tleman in the drawing room wild be % gentleman on the public highway. The coarse, ill-bred fellow, liki. the laopard, never changes his spots.— billon Herald. After a Chicago schoolgirl of 14 admitted having been on. wild parties where liquor was served, the pre- ptexed city authorities hit upon the expedient of putting her mother on trial, accusing her of contributing to the girl's delinquency. Here is something new in jurispru^ dence. And, while the ins and outs of this particular case may not be quite clear, it does seem as if this method of treatment has a good 4eal to recommend it. Despite all our talk about “wild youth,” “the temptations of this mod em age,” and the like, the plain fact remains that parents who are on to their job cant still keep their young sters in a normal, healthy environ ment a t home.—Greenville Peidmont. ♦ ♦ ♦ Tribute of Respect. We, the County Board of Equaliza tion for Barnwell County, of which our friends, Messrs. E. B. Sanders, Sir., and J. H. Wall, were members, desire to express in this way to their fami lies our high regard and appreciation for their work on the Great Cypress and Bennett Springs Townships Board of Equalizers and to express our heartfelt sympathy in this time of bereavement.

For thi 8 nason, many Anderson County farmers are giving attention to cows and chickens. There was a saying in a community in* this county years ago, that a cer tain farmer always “carried more to town than he brought back,” meaning that he sold butter and egg* ami chickens on every trip ard brought home a little surplus over and above the co»t of necessities for the home. Not only did this farmer prosper, but he developed into one of the most sub stantial citizens iri the county. He cleared as much money each year from his “manufacturing enterprises” as he did from field crops.—Anderson Independent. Mrs. Harvey Dies at Williston.
