ANOTHER INDUSTRY TO
LOCATE AT BARNWELL
Treatment of Watermelon Seed
Veneer Plant, Employing 25 Men, to
Be Erected in This City.
-r— •»
The Baihwell Veneer Company is
the newest industry to locate in this
city. Mr. Samuel B. Coffin, of High
Point, N. C., and St. Louis, Mo., is
in Barnwell completing arrange
ments for the erection of the plant
and the installation of the necessary
machinery. A lot just North of the
Gulf Refining Company's plant, on
the Southern Railway, has been pur
chased from Mr. B. B. Easterling
and the work of erecting the neces
sary buildings will begin in about
ten days, according to Mr. Coffin,
who has had about 25 years exper
ience in the furniture business in
North Carolina.
Mr. Coffin expects to start off in
a modest way, adding to his plant as
conditions warrant To begin with,
he will employ about 25 men, cut
ting between 76,000 and 100,000 feet
of veneer dally, the product being
sold to furniture and piano manu
facturers. He expects to buy a large
portion of hie logs from individuals,
thus providing a market for owners
of email quantities of timber who

Anthracnose, a disease that badly
affects watermelons, may be suc
cessfully controlled if care is taken
in carrying out the necessary con
trol methods.
Treat seed with a 1 to 1000 solu
tion of conosive sublimate (bichloride
of murcury) before planting. Let
the seed stand in this solution 10 to
15 minutes then wash the seed three
times in clean water. Be sure to use
earthware or enamel vessels to put
the solution in. This solution ir a
violent poison and should be kept
away from children, live stock, etc.
If you do not plant the seed in a
few hours after tr^ting be sure to
dry them then.
Then three applications of the
spray should be used, the first one
when the vines begin to run, an
other when the young melons are
beginning to come and • the third

The Barnwell People dated January
9th, 1879—just a little over a year
from the date of its first issue. The
paper is well preserved, although
the quality of the printing itself is
not up to the standard of today, being
dim in some places and blurred in
others. However, there is no fault
to be found with its contents and a
persual thereof proved very interest

In Memoriam.

It seems not that a year has passed,
Since you left us and w’ent away,
and our very souls are aching
With loneliness today.

Loving thoughts will always linger

competent critics, have outdone
themselves in "Polly of tho Follies."
It suits the star's personality to per

small town girl who is filled with a
sadden and fierce desire to go on the
stage, conquer the world, and twist
it around by the tail. So she puts on
an amateur show in her own home
town, k isn’t everything a show

is determined and before the pic
ture ends she has won success in
New York and a husband besides.
The rains continue to delay farm
work, and it will now be impossible
for the farmers to get the early
start that they had planned. Some
cotton is coming up along the road
to Allendale, but experienced farm
ers do not believe that a good stand
will be obtained from such early
plantings, due to the—recent—eeld-
spelt.
