Black- viUe has a scrappy learn and under the leadership of Captain Ninesteii), who was ably supported by Hair, Magruder and .others, battled to avert a crushing defeat, but Barn well would not be denied. After the first few minutes of play, it was more like u triumphal march down the field for the victors than a football game between two keen but friendly rivals. Barnwell was able to gain at will, making 33 first downs'to none by bheir opponents. Sidney Carroll was the outstanding’ star 6f the game, making five of the eight touchdowns. Each of the other backfield men also scored. To name all of the stars sounds like a roll call of the entire team, but, in addition BANQUET ENJOYED Between 200 and 300 ladies and gentlemen enjoyed the banquet and dance given Tuesday evening in honor of the members of the Vir ginia-Carolina Field Trial Associa tion, who are holding their anpual meeting here this week. Long tables were arranged in the garage of Vickery Bros, and a barbecue dinner, with all the trimmings^ was. served. During the banquet, music was ren dered by an orchestra from Augusta, The largest circulation campaign ever attempted by a county newspa per in this section of South Carolina will be staged by The People-Sentinel. In this issue appears a comprehensive description of this monster Automo bile and Prize Campaign, with rules, regulations and full information. We propose to put The People-Sen tinel in every home in the county. We are out for 4,000 subscribers. Are; you with us? While The People- Seninel already enjoys a large circu lation its scope of usefulness can be greatly increased with a larger sub scription list. With this end in -view, we have planned and today announce a big subscription campaign in which three classy high-powered motor cars will be awarded as the principal prises. An Essex Coach, fully equipped with balloon tires and all that it takes to make a car look its best, will be given as the Grand Capital Prise in this campaign. This car has been pur chased from W. D. Harley,, and is on display at his show rooms. The Es sex was chosen after a careful con sideration of all makes of cars, be cause of its beauty and splendid per formance and easy riding qualities. In order to give candidates in Barn- ’well and the entire county a chance to win an automobile, we have de cided to divide the county in two dis tricts and award an automobile for each district. For this purpose, we have purchased two 1926 Ford Tour ing Cars and will award each one of adding greatly to the enjoyment of I them as s Grand Prize to each dia- the occasion. The banquet was U*- trict. In this way each district is ique in that there were no “after din ner speeches,” and one gentleman was heard to remark .that he enjoyed it more than any affair of this kind because the usual speech-making was conspicuous by its absence. Immediately after the banquet, the tables were removed from the garage and the devotees of Terpsichore trip ped the light fantastic until the wee sma’ hours of Wednesday morning. All in all, it was a fitting climax to an i-xcellertt day’s sport with the dogs on the trial field. Col. Steadman; president of the V.-C.

Time after time their line was ripped open for big gains, and whenever Barnwell got possession of the ball a drive was started that could not be halted. When the final whistle blew, the ball was in Barnwell’s possession within Blacksville’s 20-yard line.
