see many more.

many obstacles With the loyal support of the peo-
pie it has weathered all storms so far and is now

under the present management, and earnestly
ask for continued and greater support in the future
the people of Pickens county have the best weekly
paper in the state. The Sentinel deserves the sup
say with satisfaction that we give all Of our custom
er's more than their moneys worth.
Under the present management The Sentinel never

your support because it is your home paper and

The price Of this paper is cheaper now than ever
before. One year ago one bushel Of corn or ten
pounds OF cotton would pay for The Sentinel year

things it would be $500 So. SO year now instead

the incessant cry of the retailer.
Two years ago, the southern states

difference of only s500,000,000 but
it meant the difference between want
and wealth Factories are arising
farms are being improved. southern
orders are Fastening cityward.
If the addition Of s500,000,000 to the
business Of the south could effect this
marvellous transformation what would
the addition Of $4,000, 100000 do for the
nation?
Did YOU ever hear of the man from
Mars? Suppose tomorrow the news
papers were to announce that the man
from Mars had arrived to place two
and one-half billion dollar cash order
for American shoes and hats and p!oWS
and agricultural products. Business
would be hunting desperately for more
raw material, for more laborers, for
more builders to build more factories
and more farmers to grow more food
Everybody would be working double
time at double pay.
We can place such an order with
legitimate business by the simple process
of closing the liquor factories and retail
shops. This would add two and one-half
billions to the total volume of reputable
trade. And then when we had mace the
goods, we would not have to ship them
to Mars! We could keep them for our
selves.
Two and one-haIf billion dollars more
business for the merchants; six hundren
million dollars more for the producers
five hundred millions more paid in wages
to labor and one million more men en-
ployed. Such would be the economic
reward of prohibition. The hungry
would be fed. the naked clothed and
every mans Thanksgiving table would
be crowned with royal thanksgiving
bird.
, The High Cost of Living
There is not in all history a spec
tacle Of more supreme folly than that
afforded by the American people groan-
ing under the high cost of living and
bearing upon their back thousands upon
thousands of non-producers. Bread
mounts in price daily while unnumbered
tons of grain are destroyed for the max
Ing of a poison which begets disease and
poverty, crime and insanity.
The conservation of food, the con-
servation of man-power, the conserva-
ton of orders call for prohibition of
the liquor traffic, now and forever. In
every state and city and hamlet under
the glorious flag.

The clip sheet OF the scout news de-

Our country's most popular tuven-
lie In not. rs might be supposed. Rob

but the Handbook for Boys" pub
iished by the Boy Scouts Of America.
Within the last two years. there have
been published more than $4,000
copies OF this book. and II Is good
guess that more copies have been sold
than have been sold Of both Treasure
Island and Robinson Crusoe" to-
gether during the same period. In
deed IL Is not too much TO say that
II the figures were available to make
such comparison possible, ii would
be shown that there have been pub
Iished In the last two years more
copies OF the Handbook for Boys
than all the standard stories for boys
published during the same period.
Such a fact becomes more signifi-
cant when ~ Is understood that the
Handbook for Boys" is really Il book
of facts. Scoutcraft. woodcraft: wild
life and conservation; campcraft;
health and endurance; chivalry; first
aid and life saving; patriotism and
citizenship, are the subjects treated
All are presented in a picturesque way
that commands the attention of the
most red blooded of boys. That he

the fact that Increasingly there is APP
