Nobody meant any harm by voting
for Mr. Hoover. There wasn’t any
body ela e to vote /for after A1 told
them which church he belonged to.
They knew all the time that A1 would

IMPORTANT NOTICE!
The People^Sentinel wishes to
again call attention to the fact
that a charg e ds made for the

So, Mack, it’s this way. A Hoover
democrat is a lady or a gentleman
who take s her or his religous procli
vities serously. Politics fhdn’t cause
our old, true and tried democrats to
vote wrong. They knew that Mr.
Hoover would keep church and State
separate. Nobody ever thought to
ask Mr. Hoofer which church, if any,
he belonged to—until after the elec
tion.

The unemployed holding down

Year 8 ago the red stripes were
placed on barbers’ poles because the
barbers also practiced the profession
of bleeding. Lots of them still do.
We se e by the papers that there
has been a marked increase in the
sale of auto license tags since the
first of April. Well, the farmers just
couldn’t get that “guv’munt” money
any sooner.
Lots of god men and good women
(democrats by birth, nature, instinct,
inclination and habit voted f^r Mr.
Hoover. Some of them still think Mr.
Hoover does very well to be an en
gineer and with no one to help him
except republicans. Why, have you
noticed how much better he has been
getting alonjjr since he got a bunch of
fine democrats congress That’s
all he needed to hurry on his pros
perity program. Let’s all encourage
him trill next March—when Mr. Roose
velt will take over the “reigns”—or
mebbe Ritchie or Baker. “Poor little
Hoover-ite, don’t you cry: you’ll be
a democrat buy-and buy.” (That’s
poetry.)

ICT,
A wag once remarked that there
are two thing 8 he never could under
stand—how a man could , possibly
have money enough to lend or liquor
enough to sell. To these may be
added how a man can afford to serve
as a State constable “without pay.
Governor Blackwood recently ap
pointed six such* officers in 'one
county.

a woman from the county - s eat
visited us a few weeks ago and plac

‘There’ H a Reason.’
A Newberry store conducted a
dressmaking contest. There were 18
prire winners, 16 of whom are mar
ried women. Perhaps their ability
along this line is on e of the reasons
why such a large majority of the
winners can prefix their names with
“Mrs.” instad of “Miss.” The “jazz
baby” may have her attractions but,
after all, when it come to selecting a
life companion, mo.-t men prefer the
other type of girl.
there is a right smart of aggy-
tation going on down here about bor-

neither did the tax collector and the

with him and paid his rates.

he never married and lived his entire
life in unselfish service to others. No
woman, man or child in his communi

was not willingly and gladly given—
yet so unassuming was he that
only those whom he helped knew cf
the instance. Hi s many charitable
deeds will live on and on forever.
v Rclaizing th e need of Divine aid-in
meeting his daily tasks, Mr. Black
dedicated his life to God many y^ars

loyal member and strong supporter,

The death of William Riley Black
at .11:30 o’clock Saturday night,
April 2nd, after an illness of only one
week, at the home of his brother, J.
Black; Jr., with whom he'was visiting,
we j cam£ *8_a great shock to his many
relatives and friends throughout the
entire county.
Born in Barnwell County, June 22,
1853, Mr. Black wa^ in hi 8 seventy-
ninth year, the oldest son of Claren-
do^ and Sara Ann Still Black. He
spent his whole life in this county and
was one of the largest land owners
in this section of the State.
Early in life his mother died, leav
ing a number of small children, to
whom Mr. Black became mother as
well a s brother. So iotereated in the
o’clock Sunday afternoon, at Reedy
Branch Church, with the Rev. D. W.
Heckle, pastor of the deceased, offi
ciating. Intenpent took place im
mediately afterwards in the Still
family plot in the presence of a large
number of sorrowing friends and
relatives.—(Contributed.)
Card of Thanks.
We take this opportunity of thank
ing the good people of Barnwell, and
especially the members of the volun
teer fire department for their splendid*
services on the occasion of the fire at
our home March 29th. Their efforts
resulted in the saving of our furniture
over which there was no insurance,
and their kindness will never be for-
gotten.
Respectfully,
Mr. and Mrs. C. G. Fuller.
