The dead body of Mike Corbett, a farmer 45 years old, who lives about six miles from here, was carried to the town of Salley yesterday after noon in an automobile by Thos.

In 1914 the cost of white newsprint paper was quoted at 2\ cents per pound in ton lots; a recent quotation on the same quan tity was 16 cents—an increase of about 600 per cent, in the last six years. At that time the subscription price of South Carolina weeklies ranged from $1 to $1.50 per year. With the exception of the two Barnwell papers and possibly one of two others, the price was raised months ago to $2 and in many instances to $2.50 a year. For two years the two local papers have continued to supply sub scribers at $1.50—and they hava lost money on every subscription. The People finds it impossible to continue at the old rate and ex ist, and notice is hereby given that, beginning October 15th, 1920, the rate will be $2.00 per year, strictly in advance. We can only make this rate by requiring subscribers to pay in advance, and on that date the names of all delinquents will be dropped from our mailing list Realizing that many of our readers will not have any ready caah until they market their cotton, we have decided not to put the new rate into effect until October 16th—allowing them two months in which to take advantage of the present rate of $1.90 a year. With cotton and other farm products telling at three or four times aa much aa they did a few years ago, we feel sure that our auborribers will cheerfully pey the smell advance that s|BUs the difference be tween sunrees and failure. t *tm M«9m at TOB fw wm AW AT AATVBWAT lit "Aunt Bmfty- MeCmmry fiutf Over Iff Y< OH The following is the program of the Union Mootings of the Barnwell As sociation, which will be held at DoubU Ponds, Mt.

In the summer of 1818, I heard him in a ringing speech at Barnwell, when Seymour and Blair were candidates for President and Vice-President. Gen. Wade Hampton and Dr. Ben Lawton spoke on the same occasion. Of course, the Dem ocrats were defeated; and so, Radical rule and carpet bag cruelty and op pression persisted for years after wards. The tyranny was not over turned till 1876, when the same heroic Hampton with Youmans, Hagood, Connor and others, 'achieved the proud return of “home-rule,” through the irreaistible courage and determi nation of the “Red Shirts” and their allies.
