MR. 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

(■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.
About thirty boys took part in thg
exhibits which indicates their inter
est in club work. About $50.00 in
prizes will be distributed among the
winners in all phases of the work for
the year. These prizes will be award
ed as soon as the record is completed.

Manritle Hartley. Mr. and Mrs. Men-J Grubb|( wond afd Bonnol Co| , ini|
ville celebrated their golden anniver-
I
.-ary in 1917.
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. Boylston, County
Agent.

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

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

Washington, Oct. 26i—A cotton
crop larger than ever before grown
has been produced in the South this
year. The Department of Agricul- '
tare placed the indicated production
at 17,454,000 bales of 500 pounds gross
weight or about 8,343,000,000 pounds
of lint cotton. This is about
pounds more than was produced last
year. The estimate was based on
condition* existing on October 18th
to which date 8,722,066 running boles
of thin year’s crop has been ginned,
according to the census bureau’s an
nouncement. There was an increase
of 827,000 bale* in prospective pro
duction between October 1, when the *
last estimate was made and October
18. .

Barnwell Football
Team Wins Another
The Bert,well High School feothsfl
team took the scrappy Denmark
eleven into camp Friday aftecnoea to
the tune of 32 to 0, displaying the old-
time fighting,spirit for the first
tlii* fieaxon. 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.'
