The Pickens sentinel-journal. (Pickens, S.C.) 1903-1906, 1903-08-06

Advertising small men for large
places is common pastime with
some papers. We prefer even a big
man for small place.
There are good many blisters TO
the square inch in those Kansas
counties where the soft handed anna
tour harvesters are at work.
Don't worry if you meet with op-
position when you suggest improve
ments. No improvement was ever
made that was not opposed by some
ono.
Russia and America seem to be
conducting contest in barbarity.
There they massacre the Jews aud
here we lynch the negroes. Now,
which is entitled to the ribbon?
Ihe newspapers are talking OF the
passing of j. Pierpont Morgan.
Morgan is sliding down the tobog-
gan, and every editor in the country
is giving him kick as he passes.
Chicago negroes are predicting
that this country will soon be ruled
by the negroes. The making Of such
fool statements is about the best way
possible of keeping alive the lynching

five years her growth will be moro
rapid and phenomenal, even, than in
the past five and you will not know
the old town.
People who mado a practice of
sending into the city for their sup

times. The way to prevent hard
times is to get all The money from
abroad you can and keep it in your
own town. In other words, patron
