THE BARNWELL PEOPLE-SENTINEL, BARNWELL. SOUTH CAROLINA
OCTOBER 27. 1910.
Light frost on Sunday and Monday
mornings. . •
County crops were not so badly in
jured as it was feared they would be
by the tropical hurricane of last week#
As usual Capt. J. B. Armstrong wa-
the first county treasurer to send 1910
ta* money to the State treasurer. As
the State has borrowed $550,000 this
year, early payments of taxes will
come in nicely.
A traveling man on Saturday re
marked to a Barnwell merchant: “All
you South Carolina people are intoxi
cated with pro-perity.” There is al
ways a sobering up after an intoxica
tion of any sort.
One day last week, when the sun
was shining as hot as in mid-summer,
Mr. O. H. Best predicted frost for
Saturday morning. He can be classed
now among the best of the local pro
phets, for he only missed it one day,
Jack’s first October appearance being
made on Sunday. Mr. Best’s predic
tion was based on the old sign that (fog
fennel blooms 21 days before frost.
Coroner Lewis B. Creech died _QJl
Friday afternoon last after an illness
of two days with acute indigestion.
On Sunday morning his bo-dy was laid
to rest in Friendship Church ceme
tery with impres ive and touching
Masonic ceremony by his brethren of
Harmony Lodge. During the war he
served bravely and faithfully in Capt.
Ulmer’s Company, 17th S. C. V. Pas
tor W. C. Baxley conducted the religous
services.
The cost of living in the United
States ha- .doubled since 1896, so far
as the cost of food stuffs is concerned.
Rents, fuel, servant hire and other
necessary house keeping expenses have
also risen to high water mark.

| tk* difficulty. Since then many mea^
gia because of labor conditions! Pub
lished accounts indicate that the
Chipoee Textile Mills of Gainesville,
j Georgia—a model four million dollar
! plant—have closed, leaving seven
hundVed and fifty employees out in
the cold, or else with hands out to
Uncle Sam. This corporation, known
as a “model settlement of the world”
; finds that it cannot manage its busi-
nes.- because the workers are resent-
j ful over the installation of a time
check system. So a four hundred
thousand dollar annual payroll will be
lost.
I don’t pretend to know what should
be done about this. Any man is fool
ish to rush in with opinions based on
nothing definite. It is a fact, how’ever,
that men are not enthusiastic about
building factories and then having the
management wrested from them. In
all these cases I try to imagine just
^ what a farmer would do if hi? labor
dictatedl the management of the farm.
In the long run the closing of that
mill will take four hundred thousand
dollars from the workers and from the.
community and from all society. It
also means that a £our million dollar
investment will be a dead 1 lot of
bricks and machinery, paying no body
anything. Let’s bring that mill to
South Carolina!
The Highway Muddle.
Governor Johnston has called on
three Highway Commissioners to show
cause why he should not remove them.
The hearings are being held before
the Governor. This column has be-
tievdd ill along that a goocf case cou
be made for the Governor’s power to
remove Highway Commissioners. The
Governor m.^sed a |tricfc when he
didn’t issue a show-cause order on
the Comptroller* General and State
Treasurer for paying Mr. Sawyer’s
salary. If the payment was without
warrant of law, then that is the way
to show it. If the payment was law
ful that count in the indictment nec
essarily falls..
The President in Charleston.
Preskfent Rosevelt had a great wel
come to Charleston. If only those
participated who have held positions
under the New Deal the crowd would
have been overwhelming. But there
is a genuine regard for Mr. Roosevelt,
in spite of 5ome .of his appointees.
When Mr. Roosevelt assumed office
the country was in a bog. We can
scarcely believe it today, but hope
was gone; land hadl no market value;
stocks had shrunk to almost nothing.
Our great business leaders looked like
deflated toy baloonsf oyr banks blew
up in our faces. Mr. Roosevelt with
marvelous courage grasping the wheel
of State firmly and piloted us through
ed which I think not entirely desira
ble. That does not in any sense ob
scure his stupendous service in build
ing a-new faith in our country and in
ourselve*.
.“Jack” Is Necessary.
I get a lot of information from the
papers which come to me. Sometimes
they carry items that shake one from
his habitual lethargy and give him a
“kick.”
One of my appreciated friends is
conducting the county paper in St.
George—The Dorchester Eagle Rec-
may cause them, are always devastat-
alike. • Depressions tend to complete-
alike. Depressions tend to compleate-
ly uproot an economic system of long
and solid growth. TKat is the situa
tion not only in the country generally
at this time, but particularly in our
agricultural sections—and Barnwell
County is no exception.
Some effuxt now being made to
develop a new economic technique.
Regardless of what may happen in the
next few years respecting economic
planning in VVashing;on, which will be
ord of St. George. Reading the paper! of little value in the long run, no
of October 24th I see at the head of great chage will take place in funda-
a column, “Jack is needed in Present mental agricultural practices. The
Day, says Authority.” Obviously, first law of nature is self-preservation
Jack is the sine qua non, the ne plus
ultra, the quid pro quo—and what not.
“Jack” is the fuel of our economic
engine. Without “jack” nothing
moves.
I wa? wondering what sort of
beatific life an editor lives in St.
George to make him so indifferent to
“jack” up until now, and now that he
finds “jack” nece-sary blazes it in a
headline. But after all is said, it
seems that' Editor Magill is not yet
concerned about mere lucre and had
no reference to such stuff. He rises
above it and refers to a man being a
Jack of all trades. Still, Friend Ma
gill, I repeat that “jack” is very
handy at times.
Relief Rcils.
Two hundred and fifteen thousand 1
South Carolinians are on relief rolls,
according to Colonel Fulp, who is sup-
ptfsed to know. We had almost per
suaded ourselves that prosperity had
returned!. Figures given out at times
are deceptive. More than twelve per
cent, of all South Carolinians are look
ing to. Uncle Sam for relief! Wonder
if it would be possible to persuade the
Legislature to ponder thi?. As to our
prospertity—Uncle Sam has already
spent a hundred and twenty million
dollars in South Carolina in three
years! And so prosperity is here?
Well, let’s see the color of your money.

The girls of the Hilda district met
.Miss Elizabeth McNab, home demon-
stration agent, accompanied by Mrs.
Harley, at the high school building a
few days ago. Plans for the year’s
work were discussed and officers elect
ed, as follows: Alice Still, president;
Sai^h Delk, vice-pifesidenjt; Eloise
Sanders, secretary-treasurer, and Mary
Dyches, song leader.
There was a large attendance at
the meeting. Two meetings will b;

and intelligent farmers will first grow
the crops and raise hogs, chickens and
cattle necessary to feed 1 themselevs
and their families. Any farmer who
now relies upon the village grocery
for hi? main supply of food is a fool
ish farmer.
In some sections it is apparent that
the art of preserving home grown
foods has temporal ily been lost. The
village grocery with its attractive ar
ray of mported canned good? and
delicacies from other climes has con
tributed greatly to the economic dtown-
fall of some of our farmers. In Barn-
well County today there are farms
without vegetable gardens, without
chicgens, hogs, cows, potatoes fields.
I.? it any wonder that the folks on
these farms seek relief? The absence
of essential farm foods on these farms
is not the fault of any economic sys
tem or any set of politicians. Gener
ally, the trouble is due to the men and
women who “sit atound all day.”
As some one said, “In winter some
folks sit by the fire, in spring they
sit on the banks of our creeks and
rivers with fishing pole*, in summer
they sit in the shade of trees, in fall
they sit on stumps in the woods with
old muzzle loaders waiting for game
to come by.”
In days gone by when there were
economic upheavals men migrated to
new frontiers to begin life all over
again in a new emvironment. Today
the frontiers have practically vanished'.
The only open spades now before us
are the fields at home.
<
No miracle can take place at
Washington or Columbia which will
annually fill our bam? with hay, com,
oats, or our smokehouses with hams
and shoulders, side meat and sausage;
or our pantries with home grown and
home canned beans, peas and peaches,
dried apples, onions, pumpkins, etc.;
or our potato hills with good old yams.
Nothing short of a return to old time
T Americanism with its hard work and
keen intelligence, individual initiative
and effort will 'continually fit our
