The Barnwell jt 'Just Like a Member of the Family'* VOLUME XLI. BARNWELL, SOUTH CAROliNA. THURSDAY, NOVEMBER IS. 1*17. NUMB] URGE WHEAT GROWlW. DUNBAR—ASHLEY. Department of Agriculture to Work ! . in Barnwell County. * Realizing the importance of encour- the farmers of Barnwell Coun ty to increase their production of food stuffs next year, the U. S. . Depart ment of Agriculture, in conjunction withtpiemson College, has arranged a series 0 of meetings in this county, be ginning next Monday morning at Al lendale and closing Friday night at Pleasant Hill, at which places the farmers will be urged to sow wheat. Aside from the fact that our soldiers and our Allies need all the foodstuffs that we can produce, there is money to be made in growing wheat in this section. This year one Barnwell Coun ty farmer sowed six acres of wheat. His fertilizer bill was $20. His yield averaged 26 bushels per acre, with no cost of cultivation beyond sowing and harvesting. His crop will pay his fer- . tilizer bill and land rent, leaving his wheat yield practically clear. Figure for yourself his profit per acre at the prevailing prices for wheat. - The Meetings. W. W. Long has issued the follow ing circular: ~ * “To the Farmers hf Barnwell County: l't Is important to the successful of the war that you not grow enough foodstuffs for your use, hut that you help feed , hoys who aro ip France fighting The Marriage Was Solemnized in the Ellenton Christian Church. Ellenton, Nov. 10.—Of interest to a wide circle of friends is the marriage of Miss Ethel Dunbar and Mr. Wil liam Elmore Ashley, which unites two prominent South Carolina families.. The wedding was solemnized in the Ellenton Christian Church, which was lavishly decorated in a color scheme of pink and green. The wedding party was grouped for the ceremony under a bower formed of smilax and pink chrysanthemums. Garlands of green framed the windows^ and a basket of chrysanthemums hung from the center of each. Dr. Frederick C. Brinkley and Mr. Claris Smith were the ushers. Miss Josie Miller Dunbar was maid of hon or, and Mr. Joseph Ashley, a brother of the groom, acted as best man. The bride was given in marriage by her brother, Mr. T. S. Dunbar. i ^ Rev. Barney Foreman, assisted by Rev. C. F. Outlaw, pronounced the impressive ring ceremony. The bride wore a handsome suit of wisteria broadcloth, and her l^ouquet was of bride's roees and ferns.

Yours very truly, • Garrett & Calhoun, Nov. 10th, 1917.. k'o The rise of Captain Moore has been exceptionally rapid. He was gradu ated from the Citadel in June, 1916, t and entered the service immediately upon the call of President Wilson, June 19. He was commissioned as a second lieutenant in the Machine Gun Company, Second Infantry, and con tributed much to the command by making a tour through the lower coun- • ties and procuring a large number .» of enlistments. On July 1 he received a 30 day leave of absence to attend Dowd’s Army and Navy Preparatory School in Washington. After the examinations there for the marine corps, he was commissioned as second lieutenant and stationed at Winthrop, Md. Later he was detailed to Santo Domingo. During his service in the Southern seas Captain Moore has had many re sponsibilities. For a time he served as.aide to Colonel Kane, commanding officer of the marine corps at Santia go. He has also acted as adjutant for the provisional regiment. Later he liras transferred to, Las Vega,'in command of the marines, the prison camp and the guard. He was once post commander at Moca and temp orarily post exchange officer at Las Vtga. The company he it now com manding it known as the "Fighting Forty-eighth.** Inc. Brabham—Bailey. Abdul Hamid Paroled. Columbia, Nov. 10.—Governor Man ning has granted a parole during good beh i * »*• and upon the payment of a fine of $100 to Abdul Hamid, a native of Bengal, East India, and a subject of Great Britain. Hamid was convict- *c in Barnwell County during May of this year for illicitly selling liquors and was sentenced t6 eight months on the county chain gang. The petition for c.cmency states that the East In- d ; an was not familiar with the cus toms of this country and did not know it was a violation of the law to dispose of intoxicants. It is also said that Hamid’s wife was ill in New York and he .wanted to go to her. Singing Conventions. The Edisto Singing Convention will be held at Double Branch Church (on the "96” road between Neeses and Orangeburg), Friday and Saturday, Nov. 16th and !7th. The protdeat’E foreword follows: Tim task of selecting and mohiliz- ing the Amt contingent of the National Army ia nearing completion. The ex pedition and accuracy of its accom plishment were a moot gratifying demonstration of the efficiency of our democratic institutions. The swifness with which the machinery for its ex ecution had to be assembled, however, left room for adjustment and improve ment. New regulations putting these improvements into effect are, there fore, being published today. There is no change in the essential obligation of men subject to selection. The first draft must stand unaffected by the .provision* of the new regulations; They can be given no retroactive ef fect. "The time has come for a more per fect organization of our man power. The selective principle must be carried to its logical conclusion. We must make a complete inventory of the qualifications of all registrants in or der to determine as to each man not already selected for duty with the col ors, the place in the military, Indus trial or agricultural ranks of the na tion in which his experience and train ing can best be made to serve the gov ernment. This project involves an inquiry by the selection boards into Ahe domestic, industrial and educa tional qualifications of nearly 10,000,- 000 men. Members of these boards have rendered a conspicuous service. The work was done without regard to personal service and conditions under prwars of immediate necessity, which imposed groat sacrifice Ths service trained by the experience of Ike of local and • hoof ff wide of the HOME DEMONSTRATION WORK. Club Exhibit Day Was a Great Sue- cess at Barnwell.' Friday, Nov. 2nd, a day long looked orward to by members of the Homej Demonstration Clubs, proved to be a great success.

Supplementing the president's cal to the nation, Provost Marshal Gen eral Crowder issued the following t titeirent • "The questionnaire which is the ba sis of the new' system is a collection of questions bringing out the essential facts upon which all classifications are made. It is the only printed form which any registrant needs to use either in making. claims or filing proof. "At first sight it may seem a littb formidable but a reading of the ques tions shows that they are simple e- noegh for any person who can read and write understanding^ to answer. "The president’s message lines up the whole legal ’profession of the United States as assistants of the se lective service system, and as impar tial advisers to registrants in filling out their questionnaires. Under the new regulations a place is to be pro vided convenient to every local board where registrants may go for free ad vice and assistance in making out this document. The county judge or 6ther judicial officer of a similar court is placed at the head of a committee of lawyers in each vicinity and this committee is charged with the duty of seeing that there are always plen ty of lawyers and other volunteers present to help registrants in Alltnf out the questionnaire.

Eight days later the boards will begin the great proc ess of classification which becomes in the words of the president a national war undertaking such significance as to challenge the attention and com pel the assistance of every American. "Not since the war began has an op portunity been offefecPfor practically every person to take an active part in so important a war measure as the actual raising of our armies. The president’s foremord offers this oppor tunity. It gives a definite place for the doctors to work in making the physical examination. For the first tipie it assigns every lawyer to active duty fg building up the National Army. In the legal advisory boards it gives every one who responds to the president's call a place ia the ranks of the anay behind tba army. “Tho nation already baa a remark- 'able record sf efficiency B adjusting its Brant, Miss Zelma Weeks, Miss Ber tha Sanders, Miss Julia Warren, MBs Corrie Dyches, Miss Florrie Dychea, Miss Pauline Williams, Miss Nadine McKerley, Miss Louise McKeriey, Miss Katherine Woodward, Miss Inn •Sanders, Miss Julia Delk, Miss Daisy Williams and Miss Inez Warren.
