For weeks Italy has been sending thousands of troops and munitions of war into Africa with the avowed intent of making war upon the Ethiopians, yet when the emperor of that country feels ' impelled to mobilize his army for defense against invasion, Italy declares that it is a ’menacing threat’ and that Ethiopia is the aggressor. Just such piffle pre ceded the inauguration of the World War.” The Barnwell People-Sentinel had the above in a recent issue. Yes, this L« a funny world, and more, it is a very inconsistent and unreasonable world. As a rule nations, as well as individuals, want to justify themselves when in the wrong. So it is the case with Italy. She wants Ethiopia and is going to have it provided the League of Nations fails to have the grit and the sense of right to stop her from her unholy designs on the African people. She has declared that to be true which . a he knows is false. She has declared that to be right that she knows is wrong, but it is in the effort to justify her course. If she was right it would! not be necessary to resort to ^uch ridiculous claims as she is putting forth.—Le County Mes- singer. splitting same when she takes a deep breath, her pressent weight is only £90 pounds, but she would not mind ty soon for them to go acrost. a right bad axident tok place in hawing it down to 200, as that is f ront 0 f the drug stoar last thursday what her granmmaw weighed till death p . m . when the new awning fell and and she looked o. k. to the last. bruised the heads of 17 loafers who were verry' bizzy arguying polliticks anny good remedies will be tried, under same when tom head’s meanest she has took all kinds of pattent medi-., boy, woodin head 1 , pulled the ropesloo song without avail, her husband has ( hard and busted it aMosse from its. suggested about 4 hours per day in I moorings. the poleesman got the the garding with a hoe or a shovel, hardest lick, as he coulddn’t lookout but she is not fond of garding work, | for hisself in time, as he was asleep, and has failed to respond to his ( they were aR^taped up by dr. green treatment, she tried cally-centics once ^ith sticking posters ansoforth. but it hurt her bone s to bend over so much. The Gubernatorial Watch. The Barnwell People-Sentinel is ter ribly worried about that novelty watch which one of Governor Johnston’s colonels presented him the other day. The watch is odd because the numerals were replaced with the governor’s name, which just happens to' have 12 letters in it. Editor Davies is afraid the governor will not be able to tell the right time of the day by his time piece, for when it is a quarter past four, the watch would say it is “I past N.” Don’t worry, brother. Any gover nor who can number among his bosom friends ex-Senator J. C. Long, of Charleston, as wet a politician as the State ever produced, and ex-Governor John G. Richards, who has always been classed the most arid governor the State ever had, at the same time, it certainly should be no trouble read ing a trick watch correctly. Personally, we think the governor is a most, wonderful man. We mean it. The Bamberg Herald has never known a politician—and w’e say it in no term of reproach, for it is no dis grace to be a politician—who could successfully play around with wets and drys and keep in the good graces of both. And 1 that the governor ap pears to be doing. Alth ugh the State was wet by actual primary vote, Olin Johnston, the only dry candidate for governor, was elected. Item No. 1. The legislature passed a State li quor law, and the governor signed it. Item No. 2. The governor appointed Mr. Long on the highway commission. Item No. 3. And then Governor John ston put Mr. Rchards on the tax com mission. Item No. 4. The enumera tion could be carried on much further, but it would be useless. And cn top of all that, Olin John ston has been up to date one of the best governors in many respects that South Carolina has ever had. You may not agree' with all he has done, but there are really few citizens of the State who do not agree heartily with many of his official acts. We respectfully repeat, Governor Johnston is a man of many parts. And that watch will not worry him in the least.—Bamberg Herald. Nobody’s Business | she has benn taking on flesh at the rate of about 5 pounds per month for the past . 6 months, and as it sarted to pile up on her all of a sudden, she thinks that perhaps some of yore deer readers has a similar experience, and got over it, and will rite her by re turn male and tell her what she took. mrs. square is a-feared that onner count of her being so fleshy all over that-her husband do not love her as in the past when she was around 150. he is not effectionate at all, and won’t let her set in his lap but a few sec- onts at a time, he claims to suffer with rommy-tism of the knees and has to be careful, she has allso notised % him smiling at oiher wimmen. yores trulie, mike Clark, rfd, ; Flat Rock Stages a Straw Vc<e. __a straw-vote was took for pressi- dent of the u. s. at the drug stoar^ last night, and the 14 men pressent voted a? followers: eugene talmage. holsum moore, judd skinner, pug Clark and ralph jenkins turned in their straws for him onner count of the 3$ licentg tags for fords, allso because he cut the tellyfoam and the electrick light rates in georgy. no preeching will be hell at reho- ber next sundlay night onner count of the pasture being at cedar lane as sisting bro. jerry mire johnson in a protracted serious of meetings., he reports much good hawing benn done down there, collections have alreddy reached 24$,_ and it has benn running only 3 weeks, he will be back next Sunday and will preach on the fol- lowering: “beware of strong drinlc, which bites like an adder snake.” he is violently against whiskey and nev- ver tetches ~it hisself except for sick- nes s ansoforth. - well, mr. edditor, if you want to see a nice turnip patch, hop into yore installment plan and drive down to see mr. mike Clark, rfd; and he will open yore eyes, as his wife has nearly an aker planted in same, if you will fetch a small basket, he will be glad to give you a mes g if you will pick same, he will not be able to use an ny of this sallet ourselves, as it will cost 4$ to buy enough of fatback meat to Bile a pot of it. * yores trulie, mike Clark, rfd. corry spondent. .V \. mr. mike Clark, rfd.
