PAG* YOU*. THE BARNWELL PEOPLE-SENTINEL, BARNWELL, SOUTH CAROLINA THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 4. 1M7. TTwiBrnwll People-ScatiBR JOHN W. HOfiMBS IMA-ltU. jmL Entered at the post office at Barhweil, S. C., as second-class matter. SUBSCRIPTION RATES: One Year —— 11.60 Six Months — AO Three Months — AO (Strictly hi Advance.) THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 1937. The One Issue. The one issue in the “sitdown strike” of employes of General Mo tors is whether or not we are to con tinue to enjoy property rights in these United States, as guaranteed under the Constitution. For more than a month, plants of General Motors have been held by sit- dowtr'strikers in defiance of law, and Alfred P. Sloan, Jr., president of the corporation, has rightfully refused to treat with the strikers until they evacuate. It was planned Monday to seek a court injunction compelling the strikers to evacuate the plants—and The People-Sentinel cannot help but believe that the injunction will be granted. To believe otherwise would be to believe that our courts and gov ernment have broken down and that the Communists are In control. (This is written before the scheduled hear ing in Detroit, Mich., Monday after noon.) Should the courts hold that the striking employes have a legal right to occupy the property of other men— refusing to work and refusing to let others take over the jobs which they have voluntarily relinquished at the behest of labor leaders—then we have reached 1 a crisis in the affairs of this nation. Such a decision would allow the cook in your kitchen to sit down, refuse to prepare your meals or to allow another cook to perform the task. Your farm laborers, Mr. Farm er, could ait down and refuse to work your crops or allow others who de sire work to take their places. Clerks in stores could refuse to sell to custo mers or to let others take their places. Such a decision would strike at the very roots of our liberty and demo cratic form of government. It is un thinkable. If we are to enjoy a continuance of the rights to ‘life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness,” the sitdown strikers must be compelled to evacu ate, even if it be necessary for the President of the United States to de clare a state of insurrection and mo bilise the armed forces at his com mand. If and when that be done, it will be high time for General Motors to trest with the strikers and attempt to effect an amicable settlement of their differences. We know nothing of the merit of the strikers’ demands, nor are we concerned therewith. W'e are condemning the methods by which they seek to enforce them as being diametrically opposed to our Ameri can form of governWrent. l/oc/gtrf WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON CONTRACT CLUB. Mrs. Solomon V. Brown entertain ed the members of the Wednesday Af ternoon Contract Club at her home on “The Circle.” The high score prize, a China sugar and cream set, was awarded Mrs. Edgar A. Brown, and the consolation prize, two linen hand kerchiefs, was cut by Mrs. Perry A. Price. After cards had been laid a- side for the afternoon the hostess served a delicious oreamed shrimp course with coffee. MRS. SEXTON HOSTESS AT BRIDGE PARTY. Mrs. B. W. Sexton entertained at throughout the county who regret that her marriage takes her to a distant city. Mr. LaBee is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank J. LaBee, Sr., of St. Louis, Mo., and until recently was in the jewelry business here. mmediately following the ceremony they left for Savannah, where they will make their future home. Triple “C” News Notes W. TEAL, Reporter. seven tables of brid'ge at her home on Upper Main Street Saturday after noon. The high score prize, two fingertip towels, was awarded Mrs. B. P. Davies, Sr., and the consolation prize, a towel, was cut by Mrs. W. L. Molair. The floating prize, a divided candy dish, was won by Miss Rosalie Spann, of Sumter. At conclusion ofj several enjoyable rounds of cards the hostess served a delicious chicken salad course with coffee. Out-of- town guests included Miss Florence Manning, of Columbia College, Miss Rosalie Spann, of Sumter, Mrs. Douglas Calk, of Columbia, and Mrs. K. M. Hale, of Catlettsburg, Ky. CARTER-MORRIS MARRIAGE. Mr. and Mrs. Angus F. Carter an nounce the marriage of their daugh ter, Miss Rachael Carter, to Buster Morris, of Olar. The couple were married on Mon day of last week by the Judge of Probate of Aiken County in Aiken, with only a few intimate friends pres ent for the ceremony. Mrs. Morris is the oldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Carter and was a stu dent in the Barnwell High School be fore her marriage. She is very tal ented in music. Mr. Morris is the son of T. W. Mor ris, of Olar, and attended Clemson College. He holds a responsible posi tion with the Barker Bros. Drug Store in Olar. After a short wedding trip through parts of Georgia and Florida the young couple wll make their home in Olar. A circuit court injunction ordering the sitdown strikers to evacuate Gen eral Motors plants was issued at De troit Tuesday afternoon, but the striking workers told Governor Frank Murphy that they would defy the order. Any attempt to enforce the injunction would be fought, they said. It is, therefore, high time to see whether the will of the unions will be allowed to supplant the orderly pro cesses of law. A Drastic Bill. A bill has been introduced in the Tennessee legislature providing for the imposition of heavy punishment upon the editor or publisher who al lows an “untruth” about a person to appear in his newspaper. Think what far-reaching effect such a law would have! Never again could a newspaper, in reporting a marriage, refer to the ugly, unpopular bride as being both “beautiful and charming”; nor to the lazy, worthless groom as “a progres sive young business man, who holds a responsible position with”; nor to the stingy old codger who has shuffled off this mortal coil as “a public spirited citizen of sterling worth,” etc., etc. JUNIOR SMART-SET BRIDGE CLUB. Mrs. B. P. Davies, Jr., entertained the members of the Junior-Smart Set] Bridge Gub at the home of Mrs. B. P. Davies, Sr., on Main Street Thurs day afternoon. The high score prize for club members, a deck of cards, was awarded Mrs. Solomon Blatt, while the consolation prize for club members, a vase, was cut by Mrs. W. L. Molair. The high score prize for guests, two handkerchiefs, was won by Mrs. Thos. M. Boulware and the consolation prize for guests, a hand- kerchef was cut by Mrs. Terie Rich ardson. At conclusion of the after noon’s play at cards the hostess serv ed a sweet course with coffee. Those enjoying Mrs. Davies’ hospitality, other than club members, included Mrs. Thos. M.

At a simple, but beautiful ceremony Sunday afternoon, Miss Ida Kate San ders, of Barnwell, became the bride of Frank J. LaBee, of Savannah, Ga. The ceremony was performed at the home of the bride on Academy Street. The ceremony room was especially pretty. An improvised altar was ar ranged at one end of the room, on either side of which tall pedestals con taining silver candelabra holding white candles made an effective background for the ceremony. Baskets filled with white snapdragons andl fern were tastefully arranged about the room. Preceding the ceremony the can dles were lighted by Lanier Sanders, cousin of the bride. The Rev. J. Au brey Estes, pastor of the bride, took his place in front of the altar, and the bride and bridegroom entered the room unattended. The wedding march was played by Miss Ada Sanders, a cousin of the bride, of Ulmer. The bride wore a lovely dlress of silk and wool crepe in rust with ac cessories to match. She wore a cor sage of Talisman roses and fern. Mrs. LaBee is the daughter of the late Mrs. Laura A. Sanders, of Barn- welL She is a woman of charming personality and has many friends C C C Gamp, Feb. 1.—Mr. Bryan has been trying to get us a game this week, but so far has been unsuccess ful On the Jobs. Most of the details have continued to plant pine seedlings during ths past week, in places where they did not get a good stand last year. The rain is very good for the seedlings, but was too good Thursday when it made the company miss work. “Ebb” Edgerton, formerly of this camp, but now working out of the State Forester’s office in Columbia, is now in camp again. He is working on a surveying project between Barn well and Blackville. Pay Day Saturday. Lieut. Cobble paid off Saturday, and a big majority of the boys who were not on fire duty spent the week end at home. New Chaplain. Chaplain Thomas G. Proctor, who has recently been placed in charge of religious affairs in this division of District “I”, held his first services here last Friday. The services were well attended, and well enjoyed. Though on duty here only a few weeks, and having visited here only once or twice, Chaplain has made him self very popular with the boys, of ficers and foresters. The tennis court of this company has been completed and is ready for a game on the first day the rain will permit. The net was put up and lines were put down Saturday, but un fortunately a drizzle started soon af terward, and has kept up off and on ever since, so the court has not yet been dry. However, it does not hold water, and will dry off very quickly with a little sunshine. Lieut. Wm. Rogers was the engineer in charge of building the court. He used the new men who were here for conditioning. He was ably assisted by J. P. Scoville, of the State High way department. We also want to thank Lou Cohen, who gave ua the clay for the surface. ■« A game scheduled to be played with the Supply Co. at Fort Moultrie January 30th was cancelled because the boys at the Fort had an oppor tunity to play The Gtadel on that date. We will play them on February 6th, two games. Both games will be at the Blackville gym, one in the af temoon and one after supper. The Red Giants played the Black ville town team Thursday night, and defeated them 35-16. It was a slow game from start to finish, with poor passing on both sides. We will have to do better that that if we are going to do anything with the Supply Co. Notice to Debtors *nd Creditors of Estate of Simon Wilson and Notice of Discharge.
