AS THE PEOftrS CANDIDATE'
i
jAmtt Arthur Kennedy, lawyer and
farmer) of Williaton, announced aome
months ago for the House of Repres
entatives from Barnwell County. In
fact, he states that he ig the first
candidate who announced for this of
fice, having publicly admitted his in
tention to seek the office early last
Spring, which anouncement was car
ried in both county papers at that
time.
Mr. Kennedy was born and reared
at Williston nearly thirty-five years
ago and has resided at Williston and
Barnwell his entire life except for two
years while he was in the .Aviation
Service in the Army during the World
War. It is thought that he ig the
only World War Veteran seeking any
office in Barnwell County this summer
with the exception of Dallis Creighton,
who is offering for Magistrate at
Barnwell. He is the youngest son of
A. M. Kennedy, of Williston, former
Senator from Barnwell County, and
the late Ajpies Roberts Kennedy, for-
,erly of Allendale. He is a man of
highest integrity and broad edu-
\ >n, having attendfd Ru hmond
College, Richmond, Va., University of
Virginia, and George Washington
University, where he graduated in
law in 1920. During the last year of
his college career, he was employed at
the Department of Commerce at
Washington, D. C. t while attending
night school George Wa*h>ngton
University. He was admitted to the
Bar in the Spring of 1920, after which
he became affiliated in practice with
the late J. O. Patterson, of Barnwell,
whose daughter, Harriette, he mar
red in 1924. Hr. Kennedy has had
ten years practice and experience,
during which time he has handled a
large number of raaes in State and
Federal Courts. In addition to hia
general practice, he has for a aumber
of years been attorney for the Town
of Williston, Bank of Williston. South
Carolina Aspnragun Growers A
ciation and ether concerns who have
retained his services. He was promt
nently mentioned and widely support,
ed last Sprang for the District At tor
neyship for the Eastern District of
South Carolina, made vacant by the
resignation of J. D. E. Meyer
Besides his law practice. Hr. Ken
nedy interested himself in other in
terests, having organised the Williaton
Building end Loan AesiKiation several
years ago, since which time he has
^^^ved as secretary, treasurer and at-
^Wney, and has also been actively en
gaged in farming sufficiently to
know and understand the serious prob
lems confronting the farming inter
ests of this county and State. His
education, professional experience and
other business inteiest* have given
him a broad knowledge of the busi
ness of government, and it is thought
that his qualifications, good judg
ment and fearlessness eminently fit
him for the office which he seeks. He
has been designated ag “The People s
Candidate,” having launched his plat
form openly for clean, honest govern
ment for all citizens and all sections;
for a reduction in taxes by practicing
. • .* ,
economy in State and county affairs,
by cutting the county supply measure
in numerous instances, by competitive
bidding for all county purchases, by
abolishing the county chain-gang or
drastically reducing its expenses, by
a more efficient conduct of the courts
and by cutting salariet where cuts
can be made without injury la the

What la Important?
The office of the State superintend
ent of education disburse* every year
something like seven million dollars.
Vet in :he report* f . amps *n meet
tugs, this office, along with all others
except governor, t* characterised by
the daily newspapers as “minor of-
fke.“ and only a few lines, if say
space at all. are given to candidates
for supeiintendent of education.
As a matter of fact the State of
South Carolina right now is in far
greater need of competition “minor*
officer* than of a competent governor.
The governor, naturally, should be a
man of strength and character, a
leader who will command the respect
and influence which belong to this
high office. But the governor has the
expenditure of only a paltry sum at
his disposal, while the state treasurer,
the comptroller general, superintend
ent of education, and others have mil
lions to receive and pay out.
The public generally has followed
the lead of the newspapers in think
ing of these other offices as minor.
But they are major and not minor.
The governor can recommend—and
a strong governor can use the veto
effectively—but the ao-called minor
officers handle the cash.
Vote for a strong governor, by all
meuna, bm do not fofgel that other

I duels aymbollted la the market crow
were to he over all the ordinary af
fairs of life, even the practice of buy
ing and selling In the market place.
That waa the origin of market
crosses In Scotland. They were called
crosses because they were crosses, ev
ery one of them, and the old names
remained, as names did, long after the
crosses had disappeared from the
structures.
For one regretted to say that al
though an actual cross was still to
be found on certain of our market
crosses In Scotland, there was not a
single cross, so far as he had been
able to find out where the cross had
come down from the Reformation, In
1560. Wherever one found an actual
cross on a market cross In Scotland
either the whole structure was later
than the Reformation or the cross had
been put on as the result of a restora
tion.—Montreal Family Herald.
Idea of Metric System
Originated in France
The theory of the metric system Is
that a meter is one ten millionth part
of the distance from the pole to the
equator, which Is a quadrant, or one
quarter of the earth's circumference.
The Idea of a scientific standard of
measures had been suggested ss early
aa the Seventeenth century, particu
larly by tha French astronomer, Jean
1*1 card, who lived from UCO to 16K2L
The suggestion took practical shape In
1790, when tha national aaaembly of
Franca appointed n committee ta con
sider tha q neat loo. The committee re
ported In favor of the standard being
the ore ten-millionth part of a quad
rant of tha earth's rtrruinference. A
commission was then appointed ta
measure tha quadrant, la 1790 a re
port on tha length of the amter waa
made, la the some year the amemhly
passed a law bringing In the new sys
tem of measures, the me of wblrh be
came compulsory throng boat France
la 1901. Sabaeqoent a^asnrementa at
the quadrant proved that the meter
bad been amde too small, so that It
Is saw defined aa tbe length at a ear-
tala bar of Irtdio-ptsllssm which la

“MuzusahV Significance
A muzuzah Is a Jewish word
meaning literally “door-post” and the
Jewish Encyclopedia gives a complete
account of its origin and significance.
It is the name given to a rectangular
piece of parchment inscribed with cer
tain prescribed passages from the
Book of Deuteronomy. This is then
rolled up and inserted In a metal or
wooden case or tube and affixed to the
upper part of the right-hand doorpost.
The pious Jew touches and kisses the
muzuzah as he passes through the
doorway. According to one of our
readers, the word is sometimes used
as a slang word for “klas,” Its mean
ing arising out of the Jewish custom.

The last legislature appropriated $4,000,000 to curry out the 0-0-1 low and to equolixe
educat onal opportunity. The admimatration of the low haa brought about u further deficit.
Today teachers* salaries for the session 1929-30 remain unpaid except where district trustees or
county ichool officers have borrowed the money. This deficit hue not yet been announced by the
State Superintendent of Education, because it is not likely to meet the approval of the voters
and taxpayers in the election on August 26th. The lawmakers were assured that the appropria
tion was sufficient to cover all the needs of the schools and that there would be no deficit. The
taxpayers will have to pay this extra bill next year.
Education i* essential, but waste and extravagance in our schools ought to stop. The in
come of tjie schools should not be curtailed, but the people are beginning to question the value
of our investment.
Equality of opportunity ha s not been realized—a child in one county receives $39.00 while his
cousin in another county gets $124.00. . - —r
No itemized report of disbursements has ever been printed. Payments among the 46
counties are lumped in thousands and it is impossible to compare allotments among localities
in the game county or in different counties. /
The facts belong to the taxpayers. Daylight publicity is needed concerning the rule govern
ing the cslculstion and payment of every dollar.
