V )— THE BARNWELL PE0PLB-8ENTIN£L, BARNWELL, SOUTH CARQiawa THURSDAY, DECEMBER 1, 1982. TlwBrnwil People-Sentinel JOHN- W. HOLMES 1840—1912. H. P. DAVIES, Editor and Proprietor. Entered at the post office at Barnwell, S. C., as second-class matter. SUBSCRIPTION RATES: —One Yoar $1.50 Six Months Three Months *50 (Strict^ la Adrmaeo.) THURSDAY, DECEMBER 1, 1932. Nobody’s Business By Gee McGee. After ThouRhts. fc .-.Hon. Willie D. Upshaw, the Geor gia prohibitionist, lacked only 46,745,- 324 votes cf beinR elected president a)f these United States on November 8th. He rolled up a total vote in his native State of nearly 450. He was as stronpr as 2.75 beer.—Thetfe’g one good thing about this democratic vic tory. We can do away with our pas tures and 1ft our cows and pigs on the gras 8 that’s beginning to grow on our principal streets. I have already bought me a nice cow, fresh in. The republicans have been busy for the past few months explaining •what they are doing to overcome the depression. They remind me of the truck driver who has carelessly run into a small automobile and practical ly ruined it—busying himself telling the man how to have his pile of junk repa.ired^ Hie should have driven more carefully. Now, friends, the democrats can lead us out of these hardtimes if the Good Loid will send no rain or •unshine, hut plenty bean, pea. corn, boll and wheat weevils to see that we produce no crop s till we eat un the various surplusses we have accumu lated. We have too much of every thing—including taxes, licenses, gov ernment employees and public chari ty. The money that Uncle Sam bant to our furrin re’ations is the money that pool folks an t j rich folks paid for Liberty Bonds. The poor foik* sold their holdings when b: nd s broke to 85. I am willing to cancel these war debts if the holders of these Lib erty Bonds will mark ’em “Paid in Full’ and send them back to the Treas- nrer to be destroyed. If we cancel at all, we should cancel at both ends. The farm board has been a won derful agency for benevolence. They should have credit for buying wheat *t $1 .00 .per bushel and not losing a cent on it; they gave it to the Red Cross and charged it off their books st cost. They art selling cotton at cost. They are selling cotton on the same plan. They will have to surren der their charter pretty soon. I think, ss they had only $500,000,000.00 to start with and it’s about all gone * now. -—The department of agriculture is a big cheese. What we need is an organiaation to teach us how to make only 2 blades of grass grow where 8 formerly giew. The majority of the fellows up there in Washington who are trying to tell us dirt farm ers how to farm don't know the differ ence between an English pea and an Irish potato, ,or a boll of cotton and a bowl of okia soup. They couldu't asake enough on a hundred acre farm to pay the State and county taxe? on a sulky plow, yet, they spend $153,- 000,000.00 per year—telling u s how. being paralysed or blind or one-leg ged or deaf, and even his neighbors will get used to his afflictions and pay no attention whatever to them. Why, such things becomes so common after a while that most of us consider them perfectly natural. If some of us would do without an automobile for 6 months, we would get used to walking and actually ex- to walk places—even though to miss a few dozen picture shows, we’d jioon forget that we ever had to see all cf them. My wife has got used to my snoring and I^have got used to her asking me “where you going?’’ LIGHTS > nUMMn! •/ NEW YORK *0m++**+**0+m0+0i**m00*m0*0w**i One of the most Interesting women in New York is Belle Israels Mosko- wltz, author, sociologist,, politician, public relations counselor, and con stant aid and adviser of Alfred Em manuel Smith. Mrs. Moskowltz Is a native New Yorker who early became pect they be 500 yauls away.—If-we ware I Interested In social service work and ♦ t. mia„ a fnw niftnrp shows, womens clubs. Once an sMH-suffra- are Before we get very far along, we’ve got to settle down and then try to settle up. We could be hap py by saying at home some, but we don’t seem willing to risk it.' Right now—while I am writing thi s article —one of .my younguns wants me to hurry up so’s we can go to ride—and the other one is begging our ma to make pa take all of us to the drug store. Ever go down town? Well, you’ve seen folks going. They are going nowhere in particular, jus^ going— but they ought to be * *t home. Pea-, pie can’t sit down quietly and think and talk like they once did at home; instead, they feel “some place else” calling them. Half we makq is wast ed going away from home. As’soon as we can become content to hang around heme more and do without the many things that we want and don’t need, we’ll be all right—even if we aie peer and slightly uncomfortable. Who Owns the Highways. Fools build houses and sensible people live in them, so says an cld adage. Taxpayers build highways and big busses and bigger trucks own them. The average car driver has just about a s much chance to use his part of the public road as Willie Up shaw had of being elected president on the prohibition ticket. ... If I were called upon to describe some of these immense freight trucks —that I have to stay out of the way of—when I try to go places, 1 would say something 'ike this: they aie as big as a barn, as long a* a Pullman car, as wide a s a house, as high as a tree, and as reckless as the devil. gette, she has become one of the most powerful woman politician^ of the Unless some restraint and many lestilctions are placed upon these rcad-hoggers, the highways will not only l>e a crumbled mass of cement and stone within 5 years, hut com mon every-day folks with small cars, wagons, buggies, Hoovef-catts. etc., will have to go to town and church and the cemetery, through the pasture and by-ways. <• There seems to b. no limit to the length and breadth and speed xf these terrible motor trains. They seem to increase in size at the rate of about 10 percent a month. If Bill Jones passes through town with a tiuck 65 feet long on Tuesday, Pete Smith w ill follow him Saturday morn ing with a monster 95 feet Ipng. 15 feet high and as wide a s possible. I was in quite a hurry to get to Punkvillc a day or so ago. I wanted to pass a covy (6) trucks. They were possibly going fast enough—50 miles per hour—but after blowing my bat tery dead, hollering my throat dry. cussing my tongue raw, whistling my lips sore, I gave up in dispair. My only chance to get by wa s to diive under them, and I couldn’t do that; their mufflers were in the way. They keep to the middle of the road. Let’s Start « “Stay «t Home” Movement. -—If folks would stay at home times would be better. We are all afflicted with “running around.’’ We go and go and go even if there isn’t any place to go. It’s impossible, it looks like, for a family to spend an evening or an hour at home. The go-bug has bit everybody from grandma on down to wee*WU!5e. Personally and confidently. I don’t look for very much better times than we are now enjoying for many moons. We will eventually get used to our present surroundings, poverty and circumstances. Sooner or later, water and power and railroad and gas rates will come down in sympathy with everything else, and so will rent and taacaa (mebbe) and then we will be OK. And money will possibly get cheaper too. ** It might seem impossible at for us to get used to the de- but a man can got need to CThe railroad* will take care of these bullies in time. As soon as the I. C. Commission gets over its idea that we are not living in a new age, they will permit honest freight lates and passenger fares—to take the place of the present Wor'd War schedules, and competition will be resumed and before anybody knows it, tfie rail roads will be back in the raihoad busi ness and these road-ruiner s will be re-possessed or junked. A 3-ton truck is big enough to be'allowed on any body’s highway. Would you want your baby to have an elephant for a pet? For Nervous Headaches A headache is Nature’s warning of high nerve strain. You can get quick and delightful relief from headaches add other nerve pains by using Capudine because it soothes the tense nerves. Contains no opi ates and does mot upeet the stomach. Being liquid, Capudine acts al- nation. • • • It was through her Interest In a woman’s club that she met Governor Smith, whom she escorted, a rather unwilling captive, to make a speech before her organization. Impressed by her knowledge of social and political matters, he kept Iq touch with her, and appointed jier Jo the state recon struction commission. Later she was a member of such bodies as the gov ernor’s labor board, and the Commit tee of Women on National Defense. • • • Tremendously alive, quick-witted, capable of sustained mental and phys ical effort, with an alert sense of hu mor, Belle Israels Moskowltz is a shrewd publicist, capable of smooth diplomacy, and a fine showman. This latter quality may partially result from a short experinece as an actress. She is one woman who has had a real influence on the course of state and national affairs. . • * • The Yale football team of 1902 had some pretty husky men on it In the forward line were Holt, Glass, Goss, Hogan, Kinney, Shevlin and Rafferty. Walter Camp picked the lot of them for first-string all-America, with the exception of Goss and Rafferty. Goss made only the second all-America that season, and Rafferty didn't make the mythical eleven until the following year. The hall curriers were Chad wick, all-America, and Metcalf and Bowman, second all-America. Between the forwards and the pigskin toters stood the quarterback, another all- America, a small bundle of dynamite with fire on the upper end in the shape of red hair. With commands, which sounded as sharp as the bark of a terrier, he bossed those giant linemen and those plunging and darting hacks, driving them to victory and to glory. His name was Foster Rockwell, field general of one of the greatest teams football ever knew. * • • Delia .7. Akeley tells me a story of a fair-sized town in Africa. An Eng lish resident was robbed one night, the thief entering and leaving the house silently and cleverly and taking nothing except money. A native who had passed the house during the night heard of the robbery and reported that he had seen a bicycle parked In the road. He had stopped a moment to look at it and remembered the license number. The police traced the bicycle to the town jailer, who also was a na tive. Investigation disclosed that the Jailer nightly had been releasing an expert thief from the jail, who would take the bicycle, do his stuff, and then return to he locked up and split with the Jailer. • • • Some time ago. a set of questions were asked the members of the Boys' club of New York. The answers indi- cated that the average East side youngster is interested in baseball, but has so little chance to play it that he is turning to basketball That is one rea son many big league hall players come from country towns.'where ^tere still is plenty of’TamT for a ^baseball field.- • • • Other things discovered by the ques tionnaire were that the East side boy’s great ambition is to become an avia tor or an engineer. That is what planes constantly flying over Manhat tan have accomplished. The hoys picked Lindl>ergh as their favorite hero. In their choice of hooks, mys tery stories and adventure stories lead aviation tales. Just as the golfer would rather play than read of golf so these would-be aviators long to fly rather than to read of flying. Forgot tk« Change Chicago.—When William Jordan was sent out from a cafe to get change for a $20 bill some weeks ago he forgot to return. The cashier, Fran- cine Muccla, remembered his face when she saw him later, however, and Jordan was given 30 days in Jail Seek Spot Where Peter Wat Buried Rome.—Archeologists, of Vatican City believe that they are about to discover the exact spot where St Peter was buried. .The promise of this important discovery in Christian archeology was occasioned by the fact that stretches of the original “Via Tri- unipltmis’’ (Triumphal Way) of the Romans has been uncovered 40 feet below the present street level It was known that St. Peter was buried along this ancient Roman road. There archeologists began a thorough research into papal rec ords and, comparing the present discoveries, they came to the con elution that ’ “Via Triomphalis" cut through the present square of SL Peter’s, The great cathedral of Si Peter was thought to be located on the spot where the prince of the apostles was crociSed.
