Barnwell County** Official Vote—Second Primary Election
(Continued from firat page)
updn a splendid plan in which it has
the co-operation of its farmer patrons
who owe the bank money. The Home
Bank is not asking for money settle- i
inent of accounts as they mature. A
proposition has been made the farmers
that cotton will be held for them at the*
rate of $40 a bale—eight cents a pound
—the farmers to turn over the ware
house receipts to the bank, the bank
to renew their papers for the farmers,
and to hold tbd cotton for one year if
desired. If in the meantime the price
advances and the farmers desire to sell,
all the cotton brings above $40 a bale
will be turned over to the farmers who
grew it, and their papers cancelled,
i No Panic Sign*.
“We are all going right along just as
though nothing had happened,” said
Mr. Calhoun, president of the Home
Bank of Barnwell. “I refpr not only to
our bank, but to all the business houses
of Barnwell. We know what cotton is
worth and we know what has depressed
the price, and while the European war
■ ia working a hardship upon the cotton
farmer, it cannot last al ways, and every
body down this way is determined to
hold until the sun shines again. In the
meantime we are too busy to be dis
couraged. The farmers are getting out
their cotton just as though they could
haul it into town and get 12 1-2 cents
for it. They know that cotton is their
basis of credit, and that as long as they
hold it, their credit is still good.”
1 was struck by a sign displayed in
one of the show windows of Merchant
J. A. Porter which read:
DON’T TALK WAR: TALK BUSINESS,
and whether or not they realize it that
has been adopted as the slogan of the
people of Barnwell.
To Move Smoke House.
In Barnwell the people will tell you
that “the smoke-house of the farmer
is in the West.” - That may he true at
present, although farmers in this sec
tion have begun to give some atten
tion to raising live stock. But hereaf
ter there will be another tale to be
told. The Bajn well farmer is going to
move his smoke house from the west
to his farm. Beginning next year,
cotton is going to be a secondary con
sideration. Home products will come
first. Diversified crops are going to
be raised.
Mr. W. W. Long, State demonstra
tion agent, has taken advantage of the
existing situation to placard the town
and country with posters and to scat
ter handbills broadcast, urging the
farmers to cut down the cotton acre
age and sow grain crops. They will
need no urging, once they begin to
grow something on which to feed hogs,
to raise hog meat.—Walter E. Duncan
in The Augusta Herald.

OUSE THE VALUE IF M WET
By Running It Through the
Hall Cotton MaHirinf Mm
To Farijters ai)d Flatters—
The Farmers Ginning Company of Barnwell calls atten
tion to the wonderful improvement made in the condition of
wet and green cotton by running it through this wonderful
machine, which dries out all moisture, thereby preventing "gin-
cut” and enhancing the value of your cotton aFteasTTwo cents
a pound. The seed also sell for a much higher price and the
cotton can be stored for bonding when wet cotton would not
be accepted.
To introduce the machine and prove our claims, we will,
for a limited time, run your cotton through the Hall rtiachine
for two dollars a bale. This price mirst be advanced after we
have proved the above facts. The gin will stamp your bale
STERILIZED by the HALL PROCESS
* A ‘ • ’ ..
so that the cotton buyers will know they are buying cotton
that will never deteriorate or lose in any way.
As we have already had so much cotton offered to us
for this process by formers who know of it, our gm is running
nght and day and we urge that you bring your cotton to us as
early and quicldy as possible. We quote the following iJnsc-
licited testimonial from the leading cotton buyer of Barnwell:

Dear Sir:,
T I have seen the “Hall Cotton Maturing Machine” in operation
■at Barnwell, S. C, and have 'given it considera-ble thought. I see it
opening perfect]^green cotton Bolls and turning out a high grade cot
ton, free from leaves or trash. I see it drying out green cotton picked
in August, taking out all moisture and ready for the spindle or export.
I see-it drying out seed.cotton, wet from rain, and ginning free from
“gin-cut.” In my opinion/no up-to-date ginnery is complete' without
your system. ' • .
Yours truly, >
