Straw votes also show which way

And it is also true that a thing of
beauty is annoyed forever.
There aren’t many chances to hook
a ride on the highway to success.
Many men have beeen fleeced by
the fair young thhtg 8 they thought

A friend thinks that the University
of Hard Knocks should be endowed

When bad business is going around,
the fellows who do not believe in ad

A philospoher says that mules and

yield of cotton for Barnwell County Is
about 140 pounds of lint per acre and
the average yield of com is about 14

crops, and vetch and Austrian peas as

plenty of the right kind of fertiliser,

There art, of course, dead-beats

who have been thrown out of their

Those who have been extravagant
and mortgaged their property for

lose all that they ever had. They will
be the poorest people on the face of
the earth, while those who refused to

Death of Mrs. J. Willis Duncan.
A man has been quoted as eaying:
*lf you teach a boy to blow a saxa-
phone, he’ll never blow a safe." Still
many people find it hard to decide
which is worse.
And then there is the reporter who
invariably ends his account of an ac
cident with: “The victim was attend
ed by Dr. Blank and is getting along
as well as can be expected.”
F1yi n K in its Infancy.
It has been 2.*) years since the
Wright brothers first flew a heavier-
than-air machine at Kitty Hawk, N.
C. In that time remarkabU progress
has been made in the science of aero
nautics, but flying is still in it* in
fancy
Three years ago, Charles Lind
bergh flew from New York to Paris
without a stop. He was the first
man to make the trip. Sunday he and
Mrs. Lindbergh flew from (tlendale,
Calif., to Roosevelt Field. N. Y., a dis
tance of 2,MM) miles, in the remarka
ble flying time cf 14 hours, 4. r > min
utes and 32 seconds. They flew at a
height of two miles and maintained an
average speed of 172 miles an hour
or nearly three miles a minute. All
previous cross-continent records for
speed were shattered.
A large German plane, equipped
trith American made motors, capable
of carrying several score passengers,
has been built and a trans-Atlantic
trip will be attempted this year.
Every one is famili^xfrth the round-
the-world flight of the Graf Zeppelin,
*iant German dirigible, which has
made several trips to the United
States.
And now comes Henry Ford with
Yhe announcement of an aeroplane
equipped with an oil-burning motor
capable of transporting 11 passengers
•cross the Atlantic Ocean at a fuel
cost of about $6 per passenger. An
other advantage of the new-type
motor is the greatly lessened danger
Cf fire, the bane of airplane pilots and
feusengtrs.
As we have said, remarkable strides
have been made in the past quarter
of a century, but even greater things
•re promised for the next decade.

nine o'clock after a week’s illness.
She seemed improved several days ago
but suffered a relapse Thursday.
Mrs. Dozier was born and reared in
Edgefield and spent her life here. She
was the widow of Major J. Willis Dun

about 16 months ago. She was a de

Just as the public expense has been
increased by the lavish hands of pub
lic officers, and this upheld and en
couraged by the general assembly, so
we find the 5ame practice of wasting
and spending on the part of families;
we find that the heads of these fami
lies are in debt; the homes and the
farms are under mortgages; these
heads of families in many in*tatnces
do not know just now where next to
turn. jr
As the Herald has often said, you
cannot judge how a family is getting
along by looking at what they show
you. Apparently they are rich and
independent. You cannot take things
to be as they appear.

Mrs. Elizabeth Still, 59 years of
age, widow of Elias Still, died at her
residence in Barnwell Wednesday af
ternoon, March 12th, at 5 o’clock af
ter a long period of alternate declines
and rallies during which time she grew
constantly weaker.
Death had seemed a matter of only
a few days for many weeks before
the end finally came. Her iron will
and determination held off the atack
of death for many months.
Mrs. Still was a native of Barn
well County and daughter of the late
Henry and Mary Croft, and there was
probably no woman around Barnwell
who had more friends or who was
more generally beloved than was
she. Her tolerance and her under
standing of humanity and her always
prompt and sympathetic interest in
the problems of her friends made
her very close to many, and the sor
row experienced at her death is in
comparable^
Funeral services were conducted at
Friendship Baptist Church Thursday
afternoon at 3 o’clock, March 13th,
Dr. W. M. Jones, of Barnwell, offi
ciating, and interment was in the
church cemetery.
Mrs. Still, at the time of her death,
was a member of the Barnwell Bap
tist Church, though* for many years
she had been a member of Friendship
Church.
She is survived by three sisters,

Things Are Not So Bad.
It is human nature to think of one’s
own condition as being worse than the
other fellow’s. If you are unhappy,
you naturally think that you are more
unhappy than anyone else in the
world. If you are “up against it,” you
think that no one in the history of the
world has been so up against it as
you.
If you think you are in a bad way,
just pick up any New York paper and
see what the condition is up there. In
New York there are thousands of job
less—thousands who are walking the
streets looking for jobs—thousands
who are wondering just where the next
meal is going to come from. There
are thousands who do not know wheth
er or not there is going to be a next
meal—who probably wouldn’t consider
the prospects good enough to bet on,
even if they bad anything to bet

Now if you go within the homes
you will see a fine outlay of furni
ture, rugs, carpets, silverware, pianos,
and high priced cook stoves and
ranges, radios, phonographs and
costly hangings and furnishings of
one kind and another. Don’t be too
hasty in sayiug that the family is
