A JP. M ANVILLE HAS PASSED AWAY BELOVED BARNWELL CITIZEN DIED MONDAY NIGHT. Veteran of the Lost Cause Answers Last Roil CaH —Body Laid to Rest Tuesday Afternoon. Mr. Albert Perry Manville, beloved citizen of Barnwell and a Veteran of the Lost Cause, has answered the last roll call. When it was learned Tues day morning that he had crossed over the river to “rest ’neath the shade of the trees” with loved ones and com rades gone before, expressions of sin cere regret were heard on every hard. Death came peacefully at ten o’clock Monday night, after several months of failing health, this good man passing away “like one who flraws the drapery of his couch about him a rd lies down to pleasant dreams.” ~' , Mr. Manville was born in Milford, Connecticutt, March 13th, 1839, being Suggests Beans as Cotton Substitute , ( (■NHsooMa Mr. E .J. McWhorter, Southeas tern representative of the Jerome B. Rice Seed Company, wholesale seed growers, of Cambridge, N. Y., was in (the city Monday conferring with C«jJ. Harry D. Calhoun, president of the Home Bank of Barnwell, relative to ,the growing of beans for market as ,one of the substitutes for cotton in the proposed diversified farming pro gram for 1927. Mr. McWhorter is a very interesting talker and frankly ! admits t^hat agriculture as a whole (Presents a very serous problem. ( It is realized that crops other than , cotton must be grown next year if a profitable pHce is to be received for ,the staple and the land thus diverted from cotton production must be. made to produce something else. Mr. Mc- ( Whoiter thinks that beans will prove profitable but cautions the farmers againsTa large acreage. He recom. , mends the Black Valentine and says that they should be planted in five Royal Party VUU> United Stases fit' in the 88th year of his age at the time ^oot rows with another crop, such as of his death. He was the son of Pur- net Perry Manville and Harriett Buck ingham Manville. The family moved South when Mr. Mamrilletwas a small boy, a n<i after the death of his father the lad came to Barnwell to live with his uncle, Mr. J. C. Buckingham. When war was declared between the State*, Mr. Manville was one of the first to offer his services to the Con federacy, enlisting in Capt. Brown’s company. He took an active part throughout that bloody conflict, hav- ►ng heard the first guns of Ihe war at Fort Sumter and,being in the last fighting at Appomattox. He served in Company C of Kershaw’s Second Regiment until after the Battle of Fredericksburg, when he was trans ferred to Company E, Col. Hagood's First Regiment, being made an Order ly Sergeant. Returning to his war-wrecked home, fie fought the battles of peace no less bravely. He found a i JBtful wife and helpmate in the pcr?o#of Miss Alke Hart, daughter of th<mRbv. Allen Hart snd Elizabeth Wnlk^Hart, whom be married May 22nd, 1867. Their union was blessed with seven children, two of whom are now living—Mias Har- ’ nett Buckingham Manville and Mr. corn, in the middles. The amount of fertilizer necessary varies from 750 to 1000 pounds of 7-5-6 per acre, de pending on the quality of the lard. A bushel of seed .per acre should be planted the latter part of February or the first of March. The Home Bank will probably cooperate with fanners who desire to plant a small acreage. Boys * Club Work at Barnwell CounfyTatr A large percentage of the boys hail their exhibits at 11)0 county fair, which shows up well. The exhibits consist ed of corn, lint cotton and seed. The prizes awarded are on the basis of the best exhibits along with the completed record of the year, so H is neces-’aiy that the proper record V made a.< well as make the beat showing on the exhibits.

In curly life Mr. Manville joined th.* Barnwell Baptist Church and for forty years served as supcrintender.t of the Baptist Sunday school, being forced to resign this post because of failing taalth. For many years he engaged in the mercantile business in Barn well and it ha* been said that he was too honest for his own material good. It can be said without fear of contra diction that no better man has ever .ived in Barnwell County and he leaves to the surviving members of his fam- ,ly a priceless heritage of honesty and integrity, to the community a shining example of Chrirtian manhood and to nis church a spotless record of devoted service to his Lord and Master, Whose “Well done, thou good and faithful servant” was never merited by a more, saintly character. Peace to his ashes. Mr. Manvillc’s body was laid to rest Tuesday afternoon in the Barnwell Baptist Churchyard beside the grave of his devoted wjfe, who died several years ago. The. funeral services were conducted by his pastot, Dr. W. M. Jones, in the presence of u large con course of sorrowing relatives and •friends. The many beautiful floral designs that covered his last resting place attested in some small measure lo the love and esteem in which he was* held by his fellow townsmen. Sincere sympathy is extended to the bereaved family, but they sorrow not as those without hope, for they have ■i the comforting assurance that he is at rest in the arms of Him Whose life and teachings he strived so hard to emulate 'while passing through this vale of tears.

The placing* do not necessarily mean that the above boys win prizes unless the records are completed and sent in and this record makes u proper showing. All of the boys’ exhibits were scored on certain basis and that score is part of the total that goes to make up the final showing, which in dicates the standing of the work for the year.—H. G.

Advertise in The People-Sentinel Converts Forty One n V The First Cold Weather. The first severely cold weather the winter reached BarnweH Sunday ntffir on ffie wings of a cold North wind, the sudden drop in temperature ausing overcoats to make their ap pearance Monday. Rain and sleet fell here Tuesday, with snow in some counties in the upper part of the State. The town of Belton reports that this is the first time in the history of that section that snow has preceded a killing frost. Nine year old Richard Headrick preached a sermon on “The Glory of God.” Forty-one persons were converted in one nitfit and the crowds so great. that pottee re serves were called out to handle it Evansville, Ind., is die scene of this youthful Evangelist's setivi- a successful close Saturday night. Record-breaking crowds were in at tendance throughout the week, hun dred* of visitors having come from other communities to swell the crowds on the carnival midway, which was spread around the Court House square. And they all seemed to thoroughly en joy every minute of their visit, in spite of present “hard times,” with the consequent lack of money. The most interesting feature of the fair was the exhibits of the -County Demonstration Clubs, show ing the work that has been done by he county agent* in promoting the boys and girls farm and home club work, an<f in the community clubs of the housewives. These exhibits were in charge of Miss Willie Mae Vann, home demonstration agent, and Mr. Horry G. Boylston. county demoQStra- tion agent. Exhibits High in Quality. The exhibits were arranged in ibe Kalkenstein store on Main Street and, while frankly smaller than those at last year'a fair, they were in no way lacking in quality. Mrs. Emma Varn Rishe'r, home demonstration agent for Bamberg County, und Zeke Robinson, county demonstration agent for Allen dale County acted as judges of exhib it*. Prixes were donated by the Barn well County Fair Association. Directly in the middle of the store facirg the entrance was the booth of Miss Vann’s girls' clubs, which have a combined membeiship of 136. This showed a wide vai iety of preserves and canned goods which must come up to a certain standard before they can be exhibited. The 4-H brand, recog nized by ail canning club* as Si high grade, is used on all these products. This booth was arranged in circular effect, with green and white streamers being (lorried overhead in canopy ef fect. A new phase of the home demon stration work taken up by Miss Vann during the last year is the Health Branch, which deals with sanitation, hygiene, and the relation of food to health. This was illustrated in a miniature booth arranged with chil dren’s white furniture, showing a luncheon table set with the proper things a healthy child should eat. The booth of the boys’ clubs under county demonstrator, Harry G. Boyls ton, was no less effective with its or derly arrangement of piles of corn, and uprooted full-fruited stalks of cotton, showing what kind of pro ducts may be raised with scientific fanning methods. MDi. Croft Gets Blue Ribbon. In iijdiyifiual booth for-the widest array bfl exhibits and most attractive arrangement, the Jbhie ribbon was awarded to the display of Mrs. Lucille Croft on Barnwell R. F. D. route 1. In this was- a large assortment of canned goods and farm pod nets as well , as many examples of. beautiful fancy work. Singular patterns of crocheting and tatting were exhibitsd here, as weH .ga rag rugs and quilts in unusual design. Attracting a groat Olar, Oct. 26.—James B.

One- of the live t« down* came as the result of an? cepted forward pass and a beautiful 36-yard run by Bill Holland. The Dew- mark line crumbled under the fierce assault of the Barnwell boys, who made consistent gains with line bucks. The Barnuflell goal line was never in danger, Denmark being un able to make a single first-and-ten. All of the first four games have been played aWay from home and so far the Barnwell goal has not been cross ed. To-morrow (Friday) afternoon the locals play their first game at home against the strong Aiken eleven, which ha* been victorious in every game played this Fall. Last year thg Aflcenites defeated Barnwell by one touchdown. They have an excellent squad again this year and a good game is being anticipated. Messrs. Keel and Blatt are coaching the team every afternoon this week and the boys should be in good shape for the contest. The coaches are very much pleased with the showing made against ' Denmark and are quite sure that if the boys show the same form again tomorrow, Aiken’s scalp will be add ed to their belt.' — "■ ♦ Hallowe’en Eatertai’Hneat.
