It is believed, there fore, that production in this county will equal that of 1920, when. a little more than 28,000 bales were produced. The following year, the boll weevil played havoc, with the yield, which fell below 9,000 bales. Since then, however, the yield has steadily in creased each year. •• * It is still noticeable that the up state counties are far short of last season’s production. Occrr.ee, for instance, ginned only 2,348 to Nov. 1, compared with 12,740 to the same date last year. Greenville has ginned 5,242 compared with 30,129; Spartan burg 14,623 compared with 51,197; Anderson 9,375 compared with 35,104; Pickens 3424 compared with 13,136, and so on.

Keeping up with the South npHE growth of the South in recent years is one of the . JL outstanding developments of the nation. It is seen by the ^ following facts: ^ In th« iS-year period. 1910-1923, th« coal mtnad in the atatea of tha South aarvad by tha Southarn Railway Syatem haa increased 65 percent; the pig iran production increaaed 14 per cant; active cotton apindlaa increaaed 33 per cent; and the total value of mineral pro duction incraaeed 205 per cent. In the two decadee. 1900-1920, the value of farm property in thaaa atatea'increaaed from approximately $2,500,000,000 to more than $10,000, ooo.ooa And in tha 20-year period, 1904-1923, tha value of all mandfacturee produced in thaaa atatea increased from about $1,200,000,000 to almoet $3,000,000,000. Such has been the growth of the South. The growth of the Southern Railway System in the same period also is impressive. In the laat twenty-five yeara the total investmant in the Southern Railway Syatem haa increaaed about $373,000,000—from $400,000,- 000 in 1900 to $775,000,000 in 1925. The total freight traffic handled by the Southern haa increaaed about 250 per cent. The ability of the Southern Railway System to supply ade quate transportation to the growing South has been a vital factor in the healthy economic development of the states served by the Southern. 1926 1925 Aik*n 31,583 27,518 Bamberg -- 15./85 13/.37 Barnwell __ 27,137 ‘.’5,741 Colleton ( 11,451 10,002 Calhoun 17,935 16.468 Doorchester -- — 8,373 8,408 Hampton 6,853 U,2d0 Orangeburg 61,037 54,500 The figures for the state are: 1926 676,143; 1926, 818,879.

SYSTEM W tint South It will be interesting n?ws to the people of Barnwell County to know that there are resources of $42.10 for every mar., woman and child in the county. You may not have your $42.10, but if you haven’t some one else has it in your stead. Anyway, that is the average, according to a compilation made by the extension ser vice of the Univeraify of South Caro lina for the year 1925, as shown by bank statements. Richland leads the State with $321.60 per capita (doubt less due to the fact that State funds are deposited in Columbia banks), and Williamsburg brings up the rear with $21.40. Barnwell ranks 42nd amon^ South Carolina's 45 counties in this respect. Following are the figures for Barr well and neighboring counties: R’nk.
