' • The Barnwell Muat Like a Member of the Family" VOLUME XLI. BARNWELL, SOUTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY, MARCH 21ST„ 1918. NUMBER IARNWELL COUNTY TO FURNISH » WHITE MEN Is First Call for Men in Second Drift. ' V —8 Due on First Quota. RED CROSS AUXILIARY ORGANIZED AT FAIRFAX Is Branch of the Barnwell Chapter.— £ Lutherans Enjoy Dinner. Barnwell County has been called on to furnish nine white men, who will be sent to Camp JadRson about April 1st. These men will apply on the county’s quota in the second draft and the call i is separate and distinct from the first draft. Barnwell County still owes eight men on its quota of 365 and they will be called up in the next few days and sent to Camp. The Local Board has received a let ter from Capt. R. E. Carwile, officer in charge of State headquarters, rela tive to “Call 74” which was issued sev eral days ago, applying to sending the second draft to camp, for which South Carolina has been apportioned 343 men, in which it is stated that the men will be called April 1st and 2d, and each board’s apportionment is to be deliv ered regardless of the number of men that the board’s have heretofore sup plied, and regardless of the fact wheth er the board has exceeded or is behind in its old quota. A railroad schedule is now being > re pared for the movement of the «. April 1st and 2d have been as the dates so that the seen may the previous Sunday at their Fairfax, March 16.—On Tuesday evening Mr. Wilson, chairman of the Barnwell Red Cross chapter, came to Fairfax td organize the Red Cross here as a branch of the Barnwell chap ter. Several Barnwell ladies accom panied Mr. Wilson. This chapter, though a branch, will work just the same as the others, branch chapters being desirable to simplify things at headquarters. The members of the Lutheran Church have a beautiful custom of meeting once a year at the parsonage and having a dinner together—the dinner being carried by the members. They had this annaul dinner recently and it was a mdst enjoyable occassion. Another good feature of this “love feast” as it may appropriately be called, is that the school teachers are always invited, too. The Civic League was entertained Tuesday afternoon, by Mrs. W. W.

S. S.” EDITION. # In response to a request from the United States Government, The People is planning to issue a “War Savings Stamp” edition in the near future, which will contain articles and advertisements about Uncle Sam’s “Baby. Bonds.” These editions are being published by newspa pers all over the country and are proving a big boost to the sale of, Thrift Stamps and War Savings Certificates. The advertisements are,, paid for by patriotic merchants and other business men and donated to the United States government. The People, which has already con tributed hundreds of dollars worth of space to the cause of democracy since the declaration of war, will give every business man in Barnwell an opportunity to show his patriotism and loyalty to America by urg ing the people to invest their money in the safest security in the whole world. For this reason, if for no other, the forthcoming edition will be highly interesting. Watch for the W. S. S. edition and see “Who’s Who.” P. S. At the time this was written, every man approached has con tracted for an advertisement. MANY CLASS 1 MEN PASS PHYSICAL EXAMINATIONS Barnwell County Now Has 208 Quali fied for Military Service.
