Es field Chroniide, “The passing of any newspaper from ti community in which it h;ts had its being for a generation or more is a pathetic incident. But s-uch incidents, pathetic its th y are, nevertheless are occasionally inevita ble. Economic necessity governs and imposes its mandate. There is pros perity where two heads of grain grow- where one grew before, but where two newspapers attempt to live in a community where there’s legitimate support for but one, there is but one inevitable end sooner or later. And not alone are the owners of the papers affected by such enditions. The community suffers, since Neither paper can expatid so as to give its best to its town; no multiplicity of hampered, restricted newspapers can give the value in service to a town which it is possible for one journal, unhampered and running to as full capacity as support will* warrant, to render.” The subscription list of The -Snntinel will Ik- combbined with that of The Beople and all pnexpired subscriptions will be filled by The Barnwell Beople-Seritinel; Until the mailing list has beltett revised, there will probably be some duplications', whet e persons have been taking both papers. Likewise, in the future those who are indebted to The Sentinel for that paper will make payment at this office. The editor extends a cordial welcome to every sub scriber of The Sentinel and hopes to give them the best weekly newspaper i|l South Carolina and to this end he solicits their (ordial cooperation and support. ^ The consolidation of The People and The Sentitv.1 gives the new paper a circulation several times as large as that of any other newspaper published in Barnwell County, and one of the largest of any weekly newspaper in lower South Carolina.' In addition, the combined plants make up one of the best equipped newspaper and job offices in this'section of the State. Several new and up-to-date type faces are also being added, and buyers of advertising and job pt inting are offered a service second to none in the State. And now just a word as to the future editorial policy of The Barnwell People-Sentinel; Briefly, it is a square deal to everybody. The paper will be controlled by no clique, clan nor faction and iG columns will be open at all times to the free and impartial discussion of timely topics. Factionalism will lx- taboo and the editor invite- his tenders to lend their assistance in promoting the- Ijest ' interest of the town and county. Later he may have something more to say along this yne. In the meantime, it is hoped that friends of both papers will lend their material support to the end that Barn well County may boast of a newspa;x-r in which every reader may take a pardonable pride and the splendid traditions of The People and The Sentinel he upheld. 1 - < -ex nffeis tire to H* them this Spring there an immediate tind a chn- T tinuoUs, mnsistent demand." ■h given an "rang - v iitt'e Mis-V- - and I '"i "* in all’n a - -ill. a young white man. who -ev era! miles East of Barnwell. -etdoUsly (Ut in the back and on | us kft arm Saturday night.
