SOUTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 29. 1936. NUMBER 1. Congress Fulmer Urges People to Vote Quotes Letter from .National Cam paign Headquarters Indicating Roosevelt Victory. THE REV. JOHN A. PINCKNEY HAS RESIGNED AS RECTOR The People-Sentinel is in receipt of a letter from Congressman H. P. Fulmer, of Orangeburg, in which he urges the people of Barnwell County to turn ou;t en masse and “poll every vote possible for our great President, Franklin D. Roosevelt,” next Tues day. “Not only did he save us from one of the worst revolujtions ever recorded in the world’s history,” writes Congressman Fulmer, “but he has been a God-send to the unorgan ized classes engaged in every line of endeavor in protecting them from the oppression of well*organized and well financed groups.” Congressman Fulmer also enclosed a copy of the following letter that he received last week from Sam Rayburn, chairman of the Speakers’ Bureau, Democratic national campaign com mittee, which is self-explanatory: “It has occurred to me that you might be interested to know that all reporta, confidential, and otherwise, coming into headquarters, indicate a sweeping victory on November 3rd. “The opposition is breaking down all along the line, and there are none entitled to greater credit for this con- The Rev. John A. Pinckney, who recently tendered his resignation as rector of the Church of the Holy Apostles at Barnwell, effective No vember 1st, to accept a call to Tryon, N. C., will leave in a few days for his new field. He conducted his last service in the local church Sunday afternoon. In eddition to the Barnwell Episco pal Church, the Rev. Mr. Pinckney was rector of the Allendale and Es- till churches also. He came to this parish about five and a half years ago, making his home in Allendale. His resignation was accepted with regret by the vestry of the three churches and the best wishes of his former congregations will follow him and his family to their new home. Bishop Albrt S. Thomas, of Char leston, is expected to visit the parish at an early date, at which time he will probably suggest a rector to fill the vacancy caused by the Rev. Mr Pinckney’s resignation. Harry W.
