Vote for Barnwell County’s His Jobs Are His Hobbies and His Hobbies Are His Jobs. (By B. P. Davies, Editor of The People-Sentinel.) J. E. Harley, of Barnwell, has two jobs—his profession and politics. Hig jobs are his hobbies. What is more, hig hohfcies are his jobs. And that is why he has made such a success with both his jobs and big hobbies. Making ds is nr a h <; and •4 ako'.-tt am one mM made him a cripple an J an tavalid fi r the rest of his life. On May lat, ItWS. when only 17 years of age, Mr. Har ley went with the first few men from this county to the Spanish-American War, under Capt. Claude E. Sawyer, of Aiken. In a very short while he was made a sergeant in his company. In 1917, his youngest brother, Louis G. Harley, now of Allendale, insisted that he be allowed to go with the first 15 men from Barnwell County to the World War, in spite of the fact that he suffered from defective vision. He saw active service overseas as a mem ber of a machine gun company in the immortal 30th Division. Thus we have the very unusual case of a father and two sons who fought in the last three wars in which their country en gaged. Such examples of patriot ism have few parallel* A brother-in-law, W altar D Bkrhar4a».a, gtsd HI at me* I as framta Mr Marwy hMaasif tawh I Ml gtMsa si Mbs LflhsMtp IhmiI Mpwml Ihb flbmg mmM ssM sfiMss wig •S 1 ’ Candidate for Lt Governor J.E HARLEY of Barnwell Gentleman • Soldier - Statesman * i * • Is Veteran of Spanish- American War—Rec ord of Service. 6-7-8.

So, don't let anybody fool you into believing—always—that “a prophet is not without honor save in his own country." Barnwell has furnished many shining exceptions to this rule— not to prove its truth, but its fallacy —and one of the most notable of these is “Meel" Harley, aa he is best known to those among whom he has lived for many years.
