THURSDAY, AUGUST IS, 1t». JOHN W. HOLMES H. P. DAVIES, Editor tad PropHotor. Bntorod at the poet office at Barnwell S. C., as second-claae matter. SUBSCRIPTION RATES: One Year H 50 Six Months ^0 Three Months — 50 (Strictly in Advance.) THURSDAY, AUGUST 15, 1929. The Shortest Poem. One of The Herald’s exchanges, we forget which one, gives its business men some sage advise in poem form. It may the the proverbial “shortest poem.” Here it is: Merchants wise Advertise. It is probable that it was not in tended for a poem at all, but there it is anyway. It is good advice. Ard it is good verse—count the meters and see if it is not. —The Bamberg Herald. The People-Sentinel happens to be the exchange referred to by The Herald. As suggested by that paper, the advice was not intended as a poem, although we realize that the couplet was euphonious. However, so far as advertising is concerned, there seem to be very few Solomons among the merchants in this reck o’ the woods.
