barmwell money , — - TO BOY COTTON 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. ■' d • / •' A ■ ' . ■ v ■" : . • J FOR GOVERNOR LIEUTENANT GOV n r RAILROAD COMMIS SIONER SUPERVISOR . 1 '| ‘ -• ' ■’. • ■ at j * T f - t r Precincts -S / ' - >;••• ' . ‘7 , .

Hall, • '.*• Philadelphia, Pa. 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, > jap-m ’ A .: * ’* • J. A.
