In what is probabl^the closest politi

County, A. W. Owens, of Allendale,
has a majority of two votes over R.
Boyd Cole, of Barnwell, on the face of
the unoffeial returns from Tuesday’s
third primary election to select the
third member of this county’s delega
tion to the House of Representatives.
With the returns all in except the bor- j

candidate. The vote by precincts is as J™**’ and Mr8 - James J Gaes8 ; of
follows: | Denmark, graciously responded. There
was no need for verbal expressions,
for it is said welcome always smiles;
and as every face was beaming, the
29 - visitors knew they were welcome. The
church was beautiful in its decora
tions for this occasion.
Mrs. W. D. Rice called the meet
ing to order, with Mrs. Guess acting
as secretary. In the union there are
30 churches, with 19 societies, rep
resenting about 350 members. The
Bamberg society led in gifts. Barn
well and Bamberg were the only socie
ties on the honor roll. The Bamberg
Sunbeams were also on the honor roll.

TIMELY FARM HINTS.
County Demonstration Agent Enum
erates Things to Do Now.
Important to Subscribers.
^ . V 11
The People desires to call several important facts to
the attention of its subscribers:
1. Since January 1st, 1916, the price of all print
paper, including newspaper, hds advanced in the neigh
borhood of 100 per cent. / i , • _
2. The price of ink has made marked advances,
some colors being almost unobtainable at any price.
3. Type metal has advanced about 60 per cent.
4. Labor has advanced 25 per cent.
5. In looking over our subscription list, we find that
several hundred of our friends are now in arrears, some
only one year, others two years, while a few pwe for sev
eral years. V ■ <
6. During the dull summer months, when money
was scarce with our subscribers, no attempt was made to.
collect these past due accounts.’
7. Cotton is now bringing the bjest price in years—
betweert 15 and 16 cents a pound at this writing—and
there is no good reason under the sun why our'friends
should not pay us every cent due.
8. At the present prices for paper, ink and labor,
The People cannot guarantee to maintain for any con
siderable length of time the present rate of $1.00 a year
in advance or $1..25 on time. In fact, it is our intention
] to put the paper on a strictly cash-in-advance basis and
unless prices return to normal, it will be absolutely nec
essary to increase the subscription price. However, we
will give our subscribers due notice of any advance and
allow them to renew at the present rate.
Now, in consideration of the above statement of
ami everT oflfc -W 38F
facts, we are going f6 £sk es
friends who is in arrears to let us have the small amount
due AT ONCE. We cannot continue to carry their ac
counts on our books indefinitely and pay cash for the ma
terial that goes into the paper each week. The amount
charged for the paper is very low—in fact, there are only
three or four other weekly papers in the State that still
have the dollar rate—and it is a poor man indeed who
cannot pay so small a debt.
On the address label on your paper will be found the
date to which your subscription was paid. For instance,
“Jan. 16” means that your subscription expired January
J, 1916, and you would, therefore, owe for one year to
January 1, 1917.
r ^ As we pointed out above, there is no reason why any
subscriber should fail to pay his subscription dues this
Fall, with cotton bringing record-breaking prices.
We ask as a special favor that you give this matter
your attention NOW. Send us the money, check or money
order for past due account and your renewal TODAY.
Surely, “a laborer is worthy of his hire.”

I call upon all Democratic voters to
register.
The intimation has been publicly
given that a bolt from the party may

put out for the general election in
South Carolina in opposition ,^o the
regular Democratic ticket.
As Democrats we owe it to President 1
Wilson that we should endorse his ad

ocratic State. We owe it to our Dem

State Democratic ticket.
The general election will be held
.November 7. The first Monday in
October will be the last opportunity
for registering.. If you do not secure
yqur registration certificate, by the
first” Monday in October, today week,
you cannot vote in the general elec

I urge this action upon all Demo

plain duty and every Democrat should
perform if.
Register and qualify yourself to vote
in the general election. Otherwise we
may face a serious danger.

I take this means of expressing my
leartfelt thanks to my many friends
for the loyal support given me through
out Barnwell County. I look upon my
election as quite an honor 'fob a
young man of my "‘age—possibly the
youngest Supervisor that Barnwell
has ever had the honor to claim—and
I’m sure that I am the only Supervisor
who has never stood before a man
and said, “I love your daughter,”
though I promised the people this
summer that u if elected, I would let
one. of Barnwell’s fair young ladies
cook for me; but if the young ladies
don’t wake up to the fact and help
me, I fear that the voters will catch
me in what it seems impossible for
me to help.
I could say more* but I’m sure that
every one of you kriows that I’m thank
ful for the support given me, and I
can only say to you that I look upon it
as quite an honor. At the same time,
I feel the responsibility that it places
upon me, and I promised if elected to
give my entire time and attention, and
