PURCHASE OF THE WAY ANNOUNCED BY DAVIES In the first issue of “The People’’ published at Barnwell courthouse September 6, 1877, an editorial, carrying for the most part a dis patch from Washington, D. C., was printed as a tribute to the Southern women who had pioneered in the business world of New York City and Washington following the disastrous Confederate war. These women plainly showed that despite adversity, the true women of the South were still stouthearted and willing to fight. Facing the tradition that women shouldn’t work, many of them went North and secured positions in the business world, becoming quite successful as the dispatch from Washington shows. This should he ecus ids red a real tribute ta these Southern business pioneers The editorial b aa follows • -We are glad ta get fee puhlbS' tWu the feBewtug arreuat of a few I See'.ho re weeaeu la New Yeeh. who j ehe. recegeiimg the iegic ef estate, have geos heevefty ta warh. ~ A statesmen from Ohm eo*d sore that *wer egteiulaa*.

Local cotton men stated that several loads had been brought from a radius of 25 miles of Barn well, while a few more had been brought an even greater distance for sale on the Barnwell market. The price paid here during the present season has compared most favorably with the market as quot ed in the cotton centers and the people of the surrounding territory hove token advantage of the fact end brought their fleecy staple to the local mart.

The project hod to have the spon sorship of some local organization, and this has been secured, it is un derstood, by the Farm Women’s Council. The plans call for the location of the mein library in the town of Barnwell with e truck al so being secured to make regular trips over the county for the pur pose of distributing books to the rural citizens. When worked out, this should prove one of the most worthwhile projects started in Barnwell Coun ty in some time as it will enable people who have otherwise been unable to obtain good reading mat ter, to get these books and maga zines (Delivered to their door. This should go far toward the making of better citizens out of these people. Contributions by local people have already accounted for the accumulation of considerable books and magazines and many others have been promised as soon as the plan is put in operation. The loca tion of the library has been dis cussed and several sites have been recommended but as yet no defi nite site baa been agreed upon. •ta) 'too* mi owe taw taa I bad taw r ewevow •Ski wee* aa tta i asmtaatad i One B»rww< j moe, a B N —- - uoi tkwea •touted. < eg T T T vejHe e. of Ovuegv kwrg, oad J- D ppwthfu of A’ Sol These men wtU serve ea Ike bear a tb tito etfewr two wee ta be e| I painted ta the aear futare by the State aathontwr Tta Soil Ceaaervqtiea Aeoncia »» t*aa wae formed oovoral weeks bock oad the omjor tatrreet ef this orgeaiiation ta the couee tioa of the load.

The Dsnes were maul ed by the strong St. Mstthewi team last Friday afternoon, but as St. Matthews has a veteran team from last year’s champion ship outfit, that was no disgrace.

Co AgL Barnwell Baptist Church Reduces Big Debt Rapidly The payment of a $21,000 debt in five years is the splendid record being made by the members of the Barnwell Baptist Church, accord ing to W. H. Manning, treasurer, in a statement made public this week. In 1932, the church owed ap proximately $21,000, including mortgaged indebtedness, current bills, pastor’s salary, etc. Of this amount, $15,000 was due to the closed Bank of Western Carolina, which was reduced by the receiver to $7,600, leaving s total indebted ness of $13,500. Tte church went to work with • vim under tte inspiring leader ship mi tte Rev. R. H. Stembridg*. Jr. B. R Moors and V R. Mato Moore, Mrs. B. W. Sexton, J. B. Grubbs, P. A. Price and W. H. Manning. This committee was elected from year to year and each September since, and including, 1932 raised the amount agreed upon. By March, 1937, the total debt had been reduced to $2,730. A canvass was completed by the finance committee September 26th snd the balance of $2,730 was pledged. It is the aim of the committee, with the continued whole-hearted cooperation of the members, to clear this amount prior to the meeting of ths Barn- ell Baptist Association oa Oct tar 14th of this yaor Betty Ana saaad.

The present plans, call for the trail winding through the woods behind the school building, across the spring branch and circle back up the hill to the school. The trail will be used by the members for nature study, one of the projects of the olub for the year being a study of nature. The wild flowers, birds, trees and all forms of nature will come under the careful scrutiny of the club members during the year. The ide* for this unique project was picked up by some of the members during the summer en campment at Camp Long, near Aiken. - Over the trail at the Aiken camp, the dabsters strolled to study wild life, gsther insects for mounting and study trees and flowers- Tte aim ef tte Boiling 4-H Club to ta moke tte S meeting of C edar U at i decidad t* refer tte ; paving of tte | to he signed by tks prop erty owner* ta regard ta tte m«- tag ef fence* snd bodges wkfck might be in tte way. Washington Street, which tee become one of tte town’s mask popular thoroughfares sines Mr paving lost year, is in bad nood of sidewalks ss pedestrian traffic to forced to the streets in places be cause of the narrowness at the walks snd the poor condition of them. This is dangerous, especial ly for children who use the strati going to end from school, and tha paving of the sidewalks will re lieve this phase of danger. The highway department kaa agreed to pave the sidewalks if the property owners are willing to move their own fences and shrub bery so that the department will have no trouble with the right of way or with the possible damaging of property. The' street committee of the town will draft a peper to be signed by the property owners if they are willing to move obstruc tions. It is reported that the depart ment will go through with the work in the very near future if the property owners will clear op tha right of way. Blackville Lady Ltaee Pathos Tte ms ay friends of Mm.
