The roads leading into Barnwell
are excellent type-- of South Caroli
na’s famfius sand-clay State high
ways. Three State maintained bigh,-
ways radiate from the town and a
dozen tine rounty roads also lead to
the surrounding ^mailer towns in the
county, A fine road is now being con
structed through the western end of
the county, comic.’ting with the State
highway from Beaufort to Sand Bar
Kerry near Ellenton. This road,
when completed, will give Barnwell
a straight line route into Augusta^
which is the chief market and trad
ing place for the people of all parts
of the county.

proach to theHown calls' for a heavy
strain on the motor to make the
grade Barnwell can be seen , by
travelers as far as seven miles away,
due ’fo the natural height of the
town. The water supply comes from
two 1,100-foot board wells, six inches
in / diameter. The water is not ar
tesian and is .<aiil to have passed a
i)K per cent test by the State health
authorities. The pres-ure comes from
a 135-foot tank and standpipe and
fhe lights are supplied from a 00-
lycle 110 volt plant, with a lighting
capacity for a town twice Barnwell’s
present size. The water and light
plant combined cost over. $100,000.
“Turkey Greek” is Great Stream.
The high , location of the town and
the presence of ‘ Turkey Greek at
the foot'of the hill on the west, al
most within a stone’s throw of the
courthouse*make the matter of sew
erage a simjerf' proposition. To
write a story of Barnwell not men
tion “Turkey Greek” would he to
in-ult the entire population. "Tur
key Creek” is as clear as a crystal,
with a white sand bottom and is the
summer water-place for the people.
Every ..six-year old hoy in the. town
knows how to swim—he learns in
“Turkey Greek.” It is not altogether
impossible to go to the creek, late
of a summer afternoon, and find
swimming there.three generations of
the same family.
.lust across “Turkey ( reek from
the- town, on the Williston road, is
a plot of ground, ordinary-looking
enough, hut which has a hit of history
attached to it that has its interesting
side, to a great many people. This
plot is known locally as the “lynch-
ing-ground,” so-called because of a
lynchirtg of eight negroes there a“t
one time by a mob of indignant white 1
citizens. It seems that the negroes
had brutally murdered a deputy sher
iff who was attempting to arrest one
of them for a minor crime. For many
years the trees on which the negroes
were lynched were yet standing, but
a few years back an industrious far
mer chopped down the trees to make
planting ground. Every young boy
in town knows the story of the “lyneh-
ing-ground” and the negroes are noC $100,000. The association has grown
altogether ignorant about it. For from a very modest beginning into’" a

of the Bank of Western Carolina are:
G. W. ManviMe, manager; Perry A.
Price, cashier; Mrs. M.'P. Langley,;
assistant - cashier and bookkeeper.
The officers of tho Home Bank are:
Harry 1). Calhoun, president; N. B.
Gamble, vice-president; John B. Mc-
Nab, cashier.
Col. Harry I). Calhoun, of the
Home JJafik, is given cfedit by most
1 *
of the people of the town for Barn-
well’s marked progress in the last
fifteen years . Colonel Calhoun came
there in 1912 and organized t^e,lank.
Before he had beet} there, a year, his
enthusiasm and faith in Barnweil be
came evident^ He started agitations
for waterworks and electric lights,
and Barnwell got them, ,and a great
many other very progressive steps
were taken at his instance and made
possible by his efforts. Col. Calhoun
has done a great deal for Barnwell
and its people are grateful to him.
Besides the hanks. Barnwell has a
Building and Loan Association,-' with
a capital and resources of around
years, it is told, negroes would not
go near the place after /lark. If on
a ’possum hunt and the trail should
happen to load—iu

balance of his natural life as far as
th<- dusky hunters were concerned
Has Two Firajly Established' Banks
There are two hanKs in the town,
the Rank of Western Carolina, a
branch of the largest hank in South
Cniolinn and successor to the old
\ :
Bank of Barnwell, which was then
Hie oldest State hank in South Ciiro-
•
limt, and the Home Bank of Barnwell.
Both institutions are firmly estab-
bished and generally considered very
factor in the town’s commercial life.
Many of the town’s beautiful homes
were made poisAib-lc through benefits
ump—of I derived from the association, vVhich
"here! has at all times fostered the own-
your home idea.
From the facts as presented, it will
be seen that, though handicapped with
tradition .and old-South aristocracy,
Barnwell has overcome her obstacles
and has forged to the front, thecqual
at least of the other towns of like
size in her part of the State. Despite
all this, however, “old Barnwell” has
lost none of her glamour not one
whit of her glory!

Simple Way To
End Night Coughing
No matter how long you have been
troubled with exasperating coughing at
night, robbing you of valuable sleep and
thereby weakening your system and
laying you open to dangerous infec
tions, it can usually be stopped at once
by a very simple treatment. Most people
have found that they can sleep the
whole night through undasturbed often
the first time they try it.
The trMitmdnt is based on a remarkable
prescription known as Dr. King's New Dis
covery forCoughs. You simply take a teaspoon
ful at night before retiring and hold it in your
throat fdr 15 or 20 seconds before swallowing,
without following with water. The prescrip
tion has a double action. It not only soothes
soreness and irritation, but it quickly loosens
and removes the phlegm and congest ion which
are the direct cause of the coughing. The re
sult is you usually sleep soundly the very first
night, and theehtire cough'condition goes in
a very short time.
The prescription is for coughs, chest colds,
hoarseness, bronchitis, spasmodic croup and
almost every throat irritation. It contains no
opiates or other harmful drugs. Economical,
too, as the dose is only one tcaspoonful. On
sale at all good druggists. Ask for, i

it is ti real beauty spot, indeed. A

In the center stands the old artesian

This pump was sit one time the source
of the water supply of the business

Cramping Spells
“17°$ MORE THAN A YEAR I had boon in a
JF very bad condition,” says Mrs. R. E. Kimbrell,
■ - /of Route 1, Dorchester, Texas. “I suffered
with cramping spells which gave me bad pains in
my back and sides. Sometime^ I would have to
catch at something* I. would get so suddenly dizzy.
... I had to quitdoing my work. I tried many reme
dies, but none of them seemed to do me any good.
“In April I went up to Arkansas -tp vi-.it my-sist?r, v.v.
fh'e said-to me, ‘Willie, if. you are going to take anything,
take Carikti. It will really help you,’ 1 came home and told
my doctor-what she had said and he said I could not take any
belter t nic,'so my husband immediate!“ got me a Lot-tie arfrT=
I began it, . . My case was a pretty tough one, I know, so
1 kept on faithfully.' After the fourth bottle, I begun*to~Te$l
very much better, so much so that i was surprised at myself:
I have t-,iken six bottle- now and 1 can truly -ay I feel like a
different woman. ... I feel fine and I owe it all to Cardui,
.which 1 took faithfully.”
