I
In the i*eeent President election,
South Carolina led all other States in
{riving the Democratic national ticket
17 votes to every vote ea>t for Repub-
Ueans or the Progressives. Barnwell
County, however, is twice as strong
as the State in its adherence to Demo-
cratio principles, tKe ratio in this
county being 34 to l, and until evi-
«lence is shown to the contrary, The
People claims that old Barnwell is
the tnost rock-ribbed stronghold of-
Demwracy in the entire country. The
vote was as follows:
Davis, 847; Coolidge, 23; LaFol-
ette, 2.
The State ticket polled 841 votes.
A majority was cast against near
ly all of the proposed Constitutional
amendments, the exceptions being as
follows:
-- For 4-year term for G -vernor: 209
for. 151 against.
For changing date of fiscal year:
213 for, 148 against.
Relating to extra session? of the
L»“neral Assembly: 192 for, 139
ftinst.
.'or biennial sessions of the General
ABkorr.nly: 193 for. 157 Jigainst.
^W'lie voters of the county spoke in
unmistakable terms against the pro-
1 I'o.-ed $10,000,000 bond issue, the
v. >ti being 31 for anti 158 against.

The publisher of The Barnwell People has decided to make a
33 1-3 per cent, reduction in the subscription price of this paper,
this offer te> hold gened until January 1st, 1925, after which we wiil
return to our regular price cf $1.50 a year. This special offer
applies to old and new subscribers alike. If you are not already
a subscriber to this paper, simply send us $1.00 and your name
will Ik* entered on our subscription list for one year. If you are
already a subscriber, all that is necessary to take advantage of
tjii* exceptional opportunity is to settle up your arreage, if any,
at our regular rate of $1.50, a year and wt* will send you The
Pimple for the next 12 months for only $1.00. Not more than
two years in advance will be accepted at this special price.
Look at the label on your paper. If the date reads Oct. 23,
you owe us for one year and two months at the rate of $1.50 a
year, which is 12% cents a month, making a total of $1.75. Thus
in order to take advantage of our special offer, you would only
have to send us check or money order for $2.75, which would pay
your, old account a*hd for one year in advance. In "other words,
just figure out the number of months you are in arrears, multiply,
by 12Vc cents, add one dollar for another year and we will do
the rest.
Think of it. friends! One of the newiest weeklies in the
State for only $1.00 a year! Where else can you spend a dollar
to better advantage? This figures out less than two cents a
copy. You pay more for a postage stamp.
The People is, a REAL county newspaper. It publishes
local, county. State and national news while it is news. It is
recognized as the OFFICIAL NEWSPAPER OF BARNWELL
COUNTY—that - is. certain county advertising appears exclus

We could offer premiums as special inducements or we could
pay solicitors a commission on subscriptions, but wq have de
cided Ho give] subscribers themselves the benefit. This is just
like finding 50c ot* $1.00, depending on whether you subscribe for
one or two years.
Remember, this special offer holds good only until January
1, 1925. . After that date the rate-will again be $1.50 a year. Our
object in making this special offer is to get our subscription list
on a paid in advance basis.

YALUABLE BLACKVILLE
PROPERTY TO BE SOLI)
AT AUCTION SALESDAY
A valuable piece of Blackville real
estate will be sold at auction Decem
ber 1st. when the Rush House proper
ty will be offered to the highest bod-
der. This property, which will make
very desirable business or residence
lots, is being sold under a petition for
a division of the estate*. It is located
on one of the principal business
street? of Blackville. just one block
from Railroad Avenue.
Elsewhere in thi^ issue of The

E. H. Weissinger, at Blackville.
The Barnwell High School’s unde
feated football team took the strong
Williston aggregation in* > .camp Fr-
day afternoon in a stubbornly con
tested battle on the latter’s field, 12
to 0, thus adding another coveted
scalp to their belt. In the words of
a local fan, it was one of the most
satisfactory games he had ever wit
nessed.
Although outweighed an average
of several pounds to the man, the
Bamwejl eleven outplayed their
heavier opponents in every depart
ment of the game; displaying a spirit
that would not be denio l victory.
Williston received- the kick-off and
made a first down. Barnwell then held
them for downs and the ball went
over. This- was followed by a tri
umphal march to the Williston goal
in the first few minutes of play;
Neither team was able to score in’the
second and third quarters, but the
fatal fo.urth put an end 1* whatever
hopes Williston may- have had of
victory. This period witnessed a
repititihij/ oj; that same , triumphal
march down the field, ..resulting in
another touchdown.
While Barnwell gained consistently
through the line and with ehd runs,
it is said that Williston made not
more than three downs, one being by
the aerial route, and with the excep
tion of their first flown weie scarcely
able to make a dent in the Barnwell
line.
The people of Barnwell as well
as the local team, appreciate the
moral support given them by a large
crowd of fans from Blackville, who
helped cheer them to victory. In
view of the fact that these two teams
will battle at Barnwell next Wednes
day for the championship of the AA-
BB league, this spirit was greatly ap
preciated. and The People wishes that
it were possible for both teams to
win.
