National Bank of Barnwell is the
good news given The People-Sentinel
✓ yesterday morning by Mr. John R.
Vann, receiver. Mr. Vann stated
* that he already has on hand an
amount sufficient to pay 25 percent,
at this time and that sufficient col
lections will be made in the next few
weeks to increase the first dividend to
30 per cent. An even larger dividend
would perhaps be possible but fof
the fa<\t that it has been necessary
to bring suit against some of those
who axe indebted to the bank.

Bankers, Farmers and
Agents Met in Aiken
f'- In co-operation with Dr. E. W.
^Sikes, President of Clemson .College,
/and Dr. W. W. Long, Director of Ex-
/ tension for this State, Col. Harry D.
Calhoun, President of State Bankers
Association, called three important
meetings in the State, the first be
ing held at Aiken, Sept. 16th., the
‘hers being held *on Thursday and
Friday, the 17th and 18th, at Fbrence
and Spartanburg, respectively.
The meeting at Aiken was well at
tended by representative bankers
from this section, along with farmers,
county agents and others. It was
deemed necessary to call these meet
ings on account of the extreme
drought conditions existing in South
Carolina for the last several months.
A full discussion was had of present
conditions and plans were made in
recommending to the farmers of this
section the proper procedure in order
^ to meet the situation In regard to the
shortage of feed and food stuffs. Col.
Calhoun who is also President of the
Home Bank of Barnwell. Mr .A. M.
Kennedy, President of the Bank of
Williston, and Mr. W. E. Prothro,
Cashier of the Bank of Williston. along j
with County Agent Harry Boylston
attended the meeting in Aiken. A
committee was appointed which
brought into the general meeting
certain recommendations which were
adapted by the meeting; thatAhe con
ditions are such as to necessitate
thrift and economy as regards fee<f
and food stuffs. Farmers are being
urged to plant oats, rye, vetch and
fall gardens; also that they take ad
vantage' of the fine opportunity for
fall distruction of cotton stalks.
These were among the most Import
ant recommendations and a full te-
'^Lbrt will come out l*ter. The^ meet-
was full of enthusiasm and optim-
. Ism. the bankers and others were able,
ready and willing to. see tha^ the far-
merrf were helped and provided with
necessary resources for making next
year’s crop.—H. G. Boylston, Coun
ty Agent.

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

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.

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.
Second Week Jurors.
Bqnana Casing company, which
makes the veneering for practically
all the crates in which bananas are
packed after being unloaded at
Southern points, has leased 50 acres
on Four Runs Creek, a mile or so
from Ellenton. ^
This company has leases on lumber
on the Savannah River, mostly gum,
which will last; them for 20 or ^25
years. The; plant will employ 250
men. Tho work will be done by elec
tricity 4nd> a modern town vtfth alt

Barnwell County Men
Are Crop Observers
Appointment of H. D. Calhoun, of
Barnwell, and H. J. Crouch,, of Elko,
as crop observers In Barnwell County
for the Sears-Roebuck Agricultural
Foundation Index is announced from
Chicago by P. W. 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.

This is the only issue of The Peo
ple-Sentinel to be mailed to these
whose subscriptions are not paid in
advance. 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
