In the early seventies,! Mr. John S. Shuck started a paper in Barnwell called “The Journal” which he after wards moved to Aiken. This paper is now known as The Journal and Review and edited and published by A. K. Lorenz. At one time James F. Byrnes was Editor of ..the same. Mr. Shuck also issued a small daily ■paper in Barnwell years afterwards out the nineties that venture liston ^Wtey* 5 amounted to nothing, passing after a week or two. With the exception of nine months during the War Between the States, The Sentinel has made weekly visits to many of this section, some of whom were Mr. Bronson’s subscri bers. Many will be saddened , by the thought that so valuable a land-mark as The Barnwell Sentinel has passed. Mr. Bronson was able to save from Sherman’s raid in 1865 only his type which he buried in the. ground. When the South Carolina Press Association was formed fh 1875, Ed ward A. Bronson was elected one of its vice presidents and served in this capacity for years. Upon his death, he was the oldest editor in South Carolina.—“Old Timer” in The Wil- or >r trips to distant pointsyour safety and ■ ' \ comfort demand tires of sturdy construc- r m. History of The Barnwell Sentinel The town of Barnwell was survey ed and divided into lots and streets for a court house town in 1817. From that date to 1852, Barnwell County was without a local paper. Local ad vertisements were published in the Charleston papers, the Mercury and the Courier. In or about that year, 1852, a pro minent member of the bar, Col. Wil liam Aiken Owens, induced Mr. Edward Bronson of Camden, to move from that town to Barnwell, to es tablish a -paper, and the Senti/iel was the result. Mr. Bronson received from Col Owens not only encourage ment and moral support but ftnincial aid. Mr. Bronson _ wa* a practical printer and the Barnwell Sentinel was issued as the qWy paper of Barnwell District except as hereafter stated, until about the (dates in this Article are approximate) year 1878 when Mr. James M. Ryan and some others launched The Barnwell Peo ple. After one or two years, Mr. Ryan parted with his interest; and Major John W. Holmes acquired a part of the whole interest in the “People” and published it until his death in 1912. After the death of Mr. Edward A. Bronson, about 1887, MrP Clarence Brown, who married Mr. Edward Bronson’s daughter, and was him self a practical printer, owned and edited the paper until he disposed oft it to Messrs. Marshall Moore and R. Boyd Cole. They were at the head of the Barnwell Graded School at the time. Moore soon disposed of his interest in it, and afterwards had something to do with the establish-" ment of the Greenville Piedmont. R. Boyd Cole was sole owner and i&dkor .[at tfip time or bis acceptance or a Captain’s commission in the srmy on T ~4 i 'j ' i Now Packard Presents New ease of routine care Qreater motoring comforts E VERY : five years or so it has been Packard’s privilege to ~~ make some revolutionary advance for others to follow.
