THIS IS THE LAST ISSUE TO BE MAILED DELINQUENTS New Management for The Vamp Theatre “The Vamp Theatre,” Barnwell’s popular playhouse, is now under the management of the L. T. Lester En terprises, of Columbia, and the very best moving picture productions are being shown here. The program -this week is an especially attractive one. Monday and Tuesday nights Gloria Swanson was seen in “Madame Saqs Gene.” Wednesday night the at traction was “The Top of the World.” Another high class picture, “The Swan,” will be shown this (Thursday) night, and the big bill wiH be brought to a close with “The Devil’s Cargo” Friday* and. Saturday nights. Mr. r L. T. Lester, Jr., who is mana ger of the Ideal Theatre, one of Columbia’s best moving picture houses, announces that “The Ten Com mandments” will be shown here in the near future. He says that it is his intention to give Barnwell the very best to be had—in fact, £he very same pictures that he shows in Col- uumbia. In addition, he has booked a number of road shows for the com ing winter. It is hoped that the peo ple of this section will show their appreciation by according him a liberal patronage. _ 0 See large advertisement elsewhere in this issue. First of Improved Fords Arrive Here First of the imnrovc-1 Ford cars to arrive in Barnwell went on display >ast week in the show rooms nf the Dicks Auto Co., the- authorized Ford dealer, and immediately attracted the attention of everyon •. ' To say that people who saw the car were surprised at its appearance would be putting it rather mildly. The new types exceed all expectations in irqpoved appearance and more com fort and convenience. For the most part the bodies have been completely redesigned and conform in every re spect to the most advanced features of body constructioi.. Not only have bodies been built lower, but they are set on a lower chassis frame and with larger, low hanging fenders impart to the com plete car a striking suggestion of riding and driving rase. While the Dicks Auto Co. has been able so far to show the touring car on ly, other types will be shown as quickly as they can be otained from the Ford Motor Co. branch at Charlotte where because of their popularity demands on production are somewhat delaying immediate delivery of all types of cars. Banana Crate Mill • _ at Ellenton Soon Barnwell Folks Again Enjoy Artesian Water - For the first time in several years, Barnwell people enjoyed a drink of water from the artesian well in “The Circle” last week. When the water works system was extended several years ago, the pump was broken and the well was abandoned. A short time ago, the town council was urged to repair the pump or install a drinking fountain in its place for the convenience of visitors and others. Last week the pump was repaired and the clear, cold water is now quench ing the thirst of many during the long hot days. It is understood that a latticed covering, on the order of a “summer house,” will be built over the well. It will be provided with benches for the comfort of those who are hot and tired. ' 1 There is no better water to be found anywhere that) that from Btornwell}B artesian well—not even excepting the justly famous White Oak Spring, whose ^crystal clear water is said to cast its mystic charm over all who drink thereof, making them dissatisfied to live anywhere else but here.

Ewing, director of research for the foundation and editor of the Index. They will form a link in the nation-wide chain of county agricultural observers elected be cause of their first hand knowledge of farming conditions and their ability to observe these and intelli gently interpret them. The Index, to which the observers from this county will contribute, is a computation of the monthly reports of 3,650 observers In every section of the country, and this number is being added to steadily. All the obeervere are practical, thinking, farm-minded men, each chosen because of the op- portunnties he has to observe the needs of agriculture in* his own local ity and for his ability to apply econo mic principles to current firm pro blems. As a group, they represent a cross-sdbtion of the thoughts that the man in^ie furrow is thinking, and their joint analysis of existing agri cultural conditions, as expressed in the Index, is considered a forwai d step in helping agriculture help —•.If. ^ To Hold Examination ,, Her^ Oct. 9th and 10th Mr. Horace J.

Therefore, if your label read* “Oct. 25,” or some date prior thereto, the publisher will be com pelled to drop your name from the n^V^ing unless remittance to cover past indebtedness and • few months in advance is received witkhi the next few days. This is fas ac cordance with the paid-in-advance plan, announcement of which mas made in these columns a short thno ago. The publisher regrets that the large loss suffered each year in the subscription department makes such a step necessary, as it baa bean a pleasure to extend every courtesy and consideration to friends of this pafier. Many have shown their by settling up their renewing for one or two yean la ad venes, but unfortunately assay others have abased the publisher's leniency end, as a result, he has lost hundreds of dollars in the past. The publication of a newspaper Is just as much a business as the man agement of s bank or mercantfis en terprise, and no business can bn aa successful as it should bo or render the public or a community the ser vice to which it is entitlsd If a large pan of its legitimate revenue Is laat a newspaper haa only two things to sell salieiMlpttine and advertising space. vA leas fat the subscription department must ha made up by the advertising depart ment, and this method of. doing busi ness is not fair to either the Sewa- paoer or the advertiser. When The Barnwell Sentinel wan bought and consolidated with The People the names of many diBh- quent subscribers wore on The Sonti- nel's mailing list. The People-Sent! nelrhss continued sending them the paper throughout the past four months, believing that, if a good crop be made this year, a majority of them would pay up. A very good crop has been made and very good prices are being received by the farm ers. In fact, this promises t<> fit the best year since 1920 and if delinquent subscribers have any intention what ever of paying this paper what they owe, they are in a much better finan cial position to do so now than they hire been for several years. • Then, too, the paid-in-advance *iiAa \; ■J® f'lW the people to pay for one year at a time th*a |t is for two or more years.
