JANUARY 8, 1914. "\v- Poultry Clubs. * Because the price of eggs recently, , and especially during the Christmas season, has been sky-high, plans are on foot to organise a poultry associa tion in ten counties in South Carolina. In an interview given out in Columbia last week, W. W. Long, head of the farm demonstration work and the Clem- son College extension work, had the following to say: The high prices of eggs for the Christ mas holidays so impressed the men i» Clemson college, connected with the department of agriculture, that they put an expert in the field for the pur pose of organizing a poultry association in ten,counties of the State. This work will be cooperative, and Mr. Hair of the bureau of animal industry of tpe department of agriculture will have di- fens will take offense at this rule, which week he was paroled by the Governor during good behavior! Now, here was a case where the law wanllowad tq take Its course. A fair and impartial trial was given the ac cused man. Did the jury err in con victing him?' twelve men declared him guilty and he was duly sentenced by the trial Judge. Yet Governor Blease, in the face of his rantings about lynchings, is in a' fair way to make them more frequent by his indiscrimi nate use (or abuse) of the pardoning power. HoW long wfH the people of South Carolma’ allow this man, who thinks only of his own political advancement, to pull the wool over their eyes an<f induce them to vote blindly for one who, hi the opinion of many good, law- abiding citizens, baa placed a premium upon murder? Truly, “Consiatency, thou art a jew el!” '' ; ; rect charge of the work under my-,gen eral supervision. Mr. Hair will work in cooperation with Prof R. S. Shields, chief of the division of animal indus.- try. Great interest in poultry work is being manifested in the Piedmont coun try, and it is believed that with proper care the poultry association can be - About Obituaries. The People has all the respect possi hie fbr the dead and a deep sympathj for the bereaved, and when we refiise to publish obituary notices, no reflec tion whatever is meant. When a per son dies, that fact is news and is handled as such, blit we cannot publish, ex cept as paid advertisements, the obitu ary notices sent in by the family or near relatives of the deceased or the lodge to which they belong, We re gret that we have had to make this rule, but otherwise the paper would he practically, filled with articles of this character./ For instance, we have had no less than three, possibly four, obituaries sent us recently about the death of one person. We do not think that outside of the immediate family and near relatfves'ttfPse notices would prove of especial interest to our read ers. We trust thaHione of our subscrib- we enforce impartially. made an important and paying adjunct on the farms generally^ The People would like very much to see a poultry club organized in Barn well County. Our farmers, in their obedienceto the commands of King. Mexico hasn’t got anything on South Cotton, too often overlook the little things that would bring in ready money at a time when it would come in very handy. Of course, haphazard methods in poultry raising will prove just as un profitable as slack methods in farming. In order to succeed in any line, one must give it more or less careful study and attention. But raising poultry for profit can be made to pay good divi dends. We will make an offer made several years ago by the late Major Holmes: We will send to any address for the period of one year The Barnwell Peo- '■frfe in exchange for a dozen eggs. The only condition is that the parjy accept. ing this offer will loan us a hen to hatch the eggs and keep the enickens for us until they are about ^frying-size." We will take the risk on the number hatch- edand raised. So if there are any poultry raisers in the county who wish The People on the above terms, let them write us to that effect at once. This offer applies to new and old sub- ? scribers alike. “Mr, Clint, Jackson thinks himself particularly fortunate in that all of his family have had them (nafeasles) except eight,” writes the Tirzah correspondent to the York News. Golly! Wonder how many have already had ’em? ( / “Sam Brock” says that “Old Huerty has succeeded in executing everything in Mexico except the laws.” "Wejl, Carolina at th^. When Governor Blease attended the conference of governors in Richmond, Va., several months ago, he brought down a storm of criticism on his head by shouting, in the midst of his speech) “To hell with the Constitution!” When the newspapers throughout the country bitterly attacked him for making such a remark, he claimed that his speech • had not been fully reported—that what be meant was “to hell with the Con- stitutioh” that required him to call out ffie Bfisie militia to protect "a negro brute for criminally assaulting a ‘Woman. ”, j —Personally, this writer betteves ttat no ptfeitbme&t is too«evere for such ,a fiend—that the quicker he is out of the way, the better for everybody con cerned-provided the guilty party Ja caty^rt. ^ At the March 1910 term of Court for BarnweU County* Nockey Colley, a negro, was triad and convicted of With the departure of the college girls and boys and other holiday visi tors, Barnwell will take on a deserted appearance. Here is something worth handing on: “Wheiryouare down in the mouth/ think of Jonah. He came out all right.” The Legislature meets next Tuesday the 13th. Here’s hoping it won’t prove unlucky for South Carolina. i Williaton, January A—Op* of the prettiest weddings of the year was that of Miss Ruth Agnes Kennedy, daugh ter of Mr. and Mrs. A- M. Kennedy, to Mr. is Austin Latimer, of Greenville, which was solemnized at the home" of the bride’s parents on Tuesday, De cember 30th, the Rev. W. M. Jones performing tha ceremony, ; The bride looked very charming in a gown of white charmeuse, with pearl and rhinestone trimniings and an overdress of lace. She carried a beau tiful bouquet of bride’s roses and iillies- of-the-valley 4 . , The maid-of-honor, Miss ‘fi^zabeth Roberts, a. cousin of the bride, Wore pink charmeuse and carried a bouquet of pink roses. The little Misses Mary and Catherine Roberts, the ribbon ‘ '“Deposits bearers, were dressed in cream lace over pink and pink ribbons. ’ The groom, who is a near relative of the late U. S. Senator A. C. Latimer, is a member of one of Greenville County’s foremost families. He was accom panied by his brother, Mr. DeWitt Lati mer, as best mah. The home of Mf. and Mrs. Kennedy was tastefully decorated with white bells and roses, ferns and palms. Immediately after the ceremony an iced course was served the guests. „ The happy young couple left on the night train for a few days stay in Florida, after which they go to New York city, their future home Many beautiful presents attested the popularity of Mr. and Mrs. Latimer. The out-of-town guests were: Dr. and Mrs. J. H. Roberts and daughter, MissiFlizabeth, and.Mr. and Mrs. B. M Roberts, of Ehrhardt; Mf. Dewitt Lati mer, of,. North Carolina; Mrs. M. M.

What’s the matter with the candi- ,dates? x 1914 is one week old and “nary chirp” yetF How many New Year resolutions have you broken to date? “Down on Carnival*” .Editor of The Barnwell People, Dear Sir:— As indicative of the' fact that the writer is not alone in his estimate of the Carnivals, Which from time to time appear in our towns, 1 would respectfully call the attention of your readers to the accompanying edi torial from the Edgefield Chronicle. Truly yours, A. E. Evison. 'Barnwell, S. C., Jan. 5. 1914. - *■ Edgefield Chronicle: It seems to us that Edgefield ought to have had enough experience with carnivals to p*t)ve to our people .that they are very undesirable atttactions. That being the case, the time has come when the city fathers should refuse to let them show in the town. There is very little amusement in them, and nothing in structive, or elevating. On the con trary, they are menaces to the young, being more like schools of bad license than anything else. The greatea jior- tion of the attractions are simply gam bling devices and games of chance. Instead of awakening elevating feel ing*, they teach the contrary.—4t is to 1 be hoped that the town government will look at this matter in its true light, and if it has at heart the real welfare' of our people, especially the young, h will close its gates in the future to aH such attractions. - Mr. Dan Black. ‘ On the night of the 17th of Decem ber, 1913, the Death Angel visited the home of Mr. D. S. Black and bore on its wing to the better land their son, Dan iel, who was sick only a few days. No one thought him so seriously ill, and although the doctors and kind friends did all that they could, the Lord took him to Himself. Daniel was at Reedy Branch Church on the Sunday before he died, a per fect picture of health, and little did or anyone else dream that he would Tie buried there the following Thursday, just four days later. Daniel, whehad just grown to yourg manhood, was a model character, pot sessinjj hone oi the bad habits so com mon nowadays. He was a jolly fellow and had a smile and a word for every body. ; His remains were interred at Reedy Branch cemetery on Thursday, Dec l8th, the Rev.
