We are sure that the heavy rains during the past winter have leached out a great amount of soluble Potash and left the soil lacking in this valuable plant food. ' ' -1_, ' „ Germany, our only source of supply has prohibited any further exports of Potash Salts. Muriate of Potash is selling this season for about $125. to $150. per ton, cash in large lots, port. Last season it was about $40. per ton. This is an increase of from $1.50 to $2.00 per unit. We have increased our price in mixed goods for Potash only 50c. per unit over last season’s prices. ‘ Our average increased price of fertilizer, due to the increased cost of Potash is only about 10c. per sack. Please note the following table: Fertilizer per acre—Cost of Potash 10c. Fertilizer per acre—Cost of Potash 15c. Fertilizer per acre—Cost of Potash 20c. Fertilizer per acre—Cost of Potash 25c. more than last year, more than last year, more than last year, more than last year. After considering the above facts, we feel sure you will not undertake to make a crop this season without AN ADEQUATE SUPPLY OF POTASH IN YOUR FERTILIZ ERS. WE HAVE THE GOODS and our prices are very little higher than last season. 1 Ask your dealer for our brands. COT'l'ON OIL CO. BARNWELL MILL The Barnwell People.

That you contribute as much money as you can afford and as much enthu siasm as anybody, to any movement to develop the town’s resources. That you will make friends with the farmers, if a town man, or with the town folks, if a farmer, and help work together for the good of the community of which this town is the center. THURSDAY APRIL 1, 1915. Help Barnwell Grow by Re*olving: That you will keep so busy boosting, that you won’t have time to knock. That you will vote, talk and work for a bigger, better, brighter town. That you will help to make, this a good town so the town can make good. That you will increase the value of your property by improving its appear ance. That you will say something good about this town every time you write a letter. That you will invest your money here where you madd it and where you can watch it / That you Will not point out the town’s defects to a stranger nor fail to point them out to a neighbor. That you will keep your premises ejeaaed up and your buildings, repaired SJUUnatter of both pride and profit That you will brag about pus town so much that you will have to work for this tows in order to keep from being a liar. ‘ ^ ^ That you will tike half a day right For a chap who has forsworn matri mony, our young friend Bob Gonzales, of the Statepaper, knows a lot of the trials and tribulations of a benedict. Harken to what he says; “This war brings more complications to President Wilson every day than a man suffers when friend wife wakes with a headache and the cook has failed to show up and the children have to get to school and he has to make the fires and the milkman got drunk and the groceryman missed connection and there are no matches in the house—and so forth. Some con catenation of circumstances!” The Grand Jury has been likened to a watch-dog, in that it is their duty to watch over the interests of the people of the county, and this has been done so excellently well that a majority of the people, at least, earnestly hope that they will “watch on, watch on, and on apd on.” The People has received a "piece of poetry” entitled “The Prohibitionist’s Creed,” sent by “A Friend” who thought we “might want this for the paper.” We suspect, however, .that our correspondents more of a “friend” v,' to the liquor interests than to ye coun try newspapers. Gov. Manning has given Mayor Grace one week in whiclftb'begin the enforce ment of the law in Charleston. While the governor did not say what would be tbe result in case the mayor is dere lict in his duty, we believe that little Johnnie will find some way to deliver the goods. The Russians deserve to win if for no other-reason than they have changed the spelling of Przemyml to Permyal. That noise as of tbe rushing of many waters, Cvlestine, is merely the scram ble for dispensary jobs. The Mexicans will choose a President on April 1st, thereby giving the day an added significance. ConunisMrjr Destroyed. The commissary of Mr. W. L. Cave, abou^three miles from town, was com pletely destroyed by fire about one o’clock Friday morning. When first discovered the building was wrapped in flames, making it impossible to save any of the contents. The loss amounted to about $1,000, with bo insurance. The origin of the fire is unknown. thebahjduebbyco UBBER FtOOF/SI& CHARLESTON, S. C. CITATION NOTICE. State of South Carolina, I County of Barnwell. f In the Probate Court. By J. K.
