Our coal bin is a has-been.
The new rich are being rapidly re
placed by the new poor. _ .
The only place where a decline in
coal is apparent is in out coal bin.
Ourjdea of a waste of time is the
ankle-watch affected by women a
short time ago. Y /
And what, may we ask, has become
of the old-fashioned strike that
threatened to tie-up tbe country ?
Possibly the-reason prosperity is
so long delayed is because it has been
sent by mail. Boy, page Mr. Burle
son. . V
Another thing that puzzles mere
man is why women think it is neces
sary to have decorations on their
stockings.
According to a physical director,
people are becoming roynd-shoulder-
ed. Well, that ’s better than becom-,
ing cold-shouldered.
A^boll weevil has been found in a
clock in Newberry County. Probably
trying to kill time until the open
season for cotton bolls arrives.
&
$100 reward for information as to
the whereabouts of the old-fashioned
woman who was wont to lift her
skirts while crossing a muddy street.
There’s a chance that when the silk
shirts of the farmers wear out and
price of the fleecy staple will advance.
Yes, Celestine, if women-' wore
longer and wider skirts, there’s no
doubt but that more cotton would be
consumed and the price would ad
vance, but we refuse to advocate such
extreme measures.
A Louisville, Ky., police magistrate
has been called upon t,p decide wheth
er a man may marry hia^ divorced
wife’s mother. We nre of the opinion
that a marriage license-should not be
issued to a lunatic.
There was a young man named
Cumiskey
Who insisted on drinking bad whis
key; . '
One day, so r tis said,
It went to his head,
And now he’s not so all-fired frisky.

BARNWELL IN THE LONG AGO.

t-
into ranks, and marched hastily down
a road, and Were Boon forined in line
of battle, along a ravine in the forest.
Col. Rhett, acting Brigadier, and
commanding a Brigade of “Regulars”
had drawn his line of battle several
hundred yards in front of us. We
were .in Geft. Elliot’s Brigade, Gen.
Taliaferro was our Division comman-
der, and Gen. Hardee was the Corps
commander. Gen. Joseph E. Johnson
had lately been restored ~ie the po
sition of General in Chief of our
Western Army, of which but a small
remnant was left to join with our
forces from the coast of the two
Carolinas. Sherman, by 7 o’clock a.
m., March 16th, with two corps of
his Army attacked the Confederate
lines. While hsiFd fighting went on
between them and Rhett’s Brigade 1 ,
we were busy, on the 2nd line, throw
ing up slim breast works of logs,
limbs of trees and dirt. This af
forded us some temporary protection
when our time for the fight came on.
Within a few hours, J^hett’s Brigade
was overpowered by greatly- superior
numbers, as was to be expected^ He
himself, with quite a’number of his -
men, were made prisoners, humberk
being killed and wounded on both
aides. His weakened and depleted
columns at last retreated. They
joined us bri line “number two,” where
we held the enemy^4n-clreclr till early
afternoon, when flanked on our-right,
we were finally compelled to fall back
to the “third line” of battle whose
left extended to a swamp obstructing
any effort to flank us at that end of
our liner ( ^ ’
We lost in killed at our little
breastworks, “line 2,” quite a num
ber, among whom I recall “Scab”
Kilpatrick and “Keat” Jackson, of
Co. G. On “line 3,” towards night,
Hamp Dias of my^company was kil
led and Wilson Sanders jnortall;
whom I recall McDuffie Meyer. On
all the three lines there-w® re numer
ous fatalities, the worst slaughter be
ing that of Rhett’s men in the fore
noon. 'On the third line,comparative
ly so weak in numbers, we held back
our foes till night. In places along
that line, daring assaults were made,
and only stout resistance saved us
until darkness came to our relief and
enabled us to withdraw in safety.
We built camp fires in -our rear for a
deception, and were ordered at the
proper time td" go -out “On all fours
and not to speak above a .whisper.”
I distinctly remember the almost
matchless bravely of our Major War-
ley (2nd Regt.) ^on our last well
fought line. He would stand up in
the open, take\a gun now and then
from some private, and shoot at. tpe
enemy in front, often speaking in
loud tones of voice as he-shot. The
Gone But Not Forgotten.
Mrs. W. C. Birt departed this life.
Wednesday afternoon, Dec. 22, 1920,

During the past several weeks,
anonymous letters signed "A Friend,
U. L. S.,” purporting to have been
• mailed_by the Uplift Association,
have been received by certain par
ties in Barnwell. Naturally they
were highly incensed but treated.the
missives, with the contempt that all
- anonyhnous communications deserve.
The Uplift Associ>vtKyi hijjs been the
butt of considerable adverse criticism
by reason of the letters and tne of
ficers have denied any responsibility
therefor. It has been the policy of
the members of the Association to
work in the open in trying to attain
the objects of the organization and
The People for one has refused to
believe that the Assoeiatiofi-was the
author of the letters in question.
This paper believes that the organi
zation is .composed of ladies wTro^afe
above writing anonymous communi
cations, and furthermore tJ^^aiggBSH'n
they have anything to sa^ r jjyjvill be
over -the signature of one of the of
ficers. ' -r
