THURSDAY, MARCH 10, 1932. We CongnUiiIate Barnwell. A town’s chief assets are the re sources of its “back country” and its citizenship. The former make it pos sible for the latter to build—but just how well depends as much upon the quality of the citizenship as it doe* on the quality and quantity of the building material. be strong enough to know when he is weak and brave enough to face him self when he-is afraid. One who will be proud and unbending in defeat, but humble and gentle in victory. . A son whose wishbone will not be where his backbone should be; a son who will know, that to know himself, is the foundation stone of all tn^e knowledge. Rear him, I pray, not in the path of ease and comfort, but under the stress and spur of difficulties and challenges. Here let him learn to stand up in the storm; here let him learn compassion for those who fall. Bulid me a son whose heart will be clean, whose goal will be high. A son who will master hiimelf, before- he seek* to master other men. One who will learn to laugh, but never forget how to weep. One who will reach far into the future, yet never forget the past. And after all these are his, add, I pray, enough of a sense of humor so that he may always be serious yet never take himself too seriously; a touch of humanity, so that he may barrassed, but still trying to keep up with the Joneses. They had plenty cash as long as they could borrow plenty cash, * . 1 At a time like the present, Barn- . . well is indeed fortunate in numbering I f wa y s Temem r the simplicity of among its citizens such a leader as Col. Edgar A. Brown, statesman and business man. He has done much in the past for his adopted home town and county, but the restoration of banking facilities to Barnwell and this immediate section is worth more to the people of this community than anything he has ever done. , The or ganization of a new bank her e was made possible by his association and friendship with certain wealthy out side citizens, without which it may X true.greatness; the open mind of true wisdom; the meekness of “ true strength.

Our public office-holders ar e squinting with all their might—trying to find some- ’tfiing else to tax—so’s they won’t •' \t have to cut their own salaries and the salaries of the gang that elected them. It’s a pitiful situation. They need help. In sbm e “high places” a prize is being offered to any man, woman or child not already taxed to death or an item that will bear an additional tax. If that bunch will assess a 2-dollar tax on boneheads, block-heads, sap-heads and pin-heads they can raise lots of money—that is, if they have any money of their own —that can be spent for such a pur pose. lik^vise a big benefit to us, and we are mighty busy. Your classification of freight is our plum puddin. Your thankful friends, ’ Bus and Truck Bros., Nobody’s Business have been months—perhaps years- before such an institution would have been organized. Th t . value of such a citizen to a community is incalculable. We congratulate Barnwell on the* pos session of such an one in the person of Edgar Brown. The Walterboro Press and Standard says that a man can be an ardent prohibitionist and take a drink of liquor—that “prohibition is an atti tude towards a governmental policy for the control of a great evil, and not the personal habit of the person who believes that liquor should not be legally sold.” ''Yeah, and a man 1 By Gee McGee.

In the public’s mind, generally speaking, it matters not. how much and Jiow often cotton mills, business houses and other enterprises cut wages, but just talk about cutting wages and salaries of Stat e or county or city employees and listen at the howls and hisses. For every dime that has been taken from the income of politically employed men and wpmen, a dollar has been taken from the common laborer^ the operative and the worker. Less than 2 percent of the men and women employed and paid by the tax payers, directly and indirectly, have had their pay cut* to any apprecialflfe extent and not over 1 percent of such employees have lo?t their jobs. But look what’s happened to business;— about 30 percent of such employees have lost their places, which meant bread and meat.

Cigarette tobacco was selling at 25 cent s per pound in 1927, standard : brand cigarettes were selling at $6.00 per thousand (plus stamps) fn 1927. Today (1932) cigarette tobac co is selling at 9 cents a pound and standard; brand cigarettes are selling at $6.85 per thousand, (plus stamps.) In other words, raw tobacco has de clined about 62 percent, while the manufactured product has advanced about 14 percent. The tax rate on cigarettes is the same now as 1927. Answer: Bad habits.

Milk Naturally when cotton is bringing a. low price, jotg of farmers are try- -ing to cut down the expenses on their next crop as much as possible. I have heard some farmers talking about making a crop with only stable manure as a fertilizer, and others are figuring’on using only sulphate of ammonia or nitrat e of soda. This is wrong, Mr. Farmer—I’m no cotton faimer, but I certainly have! the common sense to know that a maximum yield cannot be made un less the crop is fertilized with the right kind of plant food. All authorities agree that T* plants neod nitrogen, phosphoric acid, and potash, more than they need other plant food element*, and that is the reason that all complete ferti lizers contain these plant food ele ments. In fact a mixed fertilizer is not a comphete fertilizer unless it does con tain all three of these plant food*. As to th e proportion in which these plant food elements occur in fertili zers, that is left to the individual farmer and-his crop needs. These three plant food elemertts have their uses, or they would not be in fertililer*. Nitrogen i s most es- sehtial to vegetable growth, phos phorus is most essential in root de velopment, fruiting and maturing of the crop; and potash'i's most essential to the vigor of the plant, the : hipping quality of the products, and for the development of sugar and starch in Shampoo and Finger Wave 50c Shampoo and Water Wave 50c Golden Glint Rinse 1 25c Henna Rinse ; 75c Henna Pack - $1.00 Eye Brown Arch 50c Eye Brown and Lash Dye $1.00 Manicure _* 50c Plain Facial 75c Butter Milk Pac Facial __v $1.00 Hot Oil Treatments - 75c Permanent Waves^ $3.00, $5.00, $7.50 •w , . v* Hair Dyeing a Specialty!
