same date in' 1925, when 25,741 bales
hpd been ginned. 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

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.

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. County, Resources, Per Cap.

The same article shows that
bank resources 1 have 1 increased in
South Carolina from $103,177,000 in
1915, to $272,882,000 in 1926, nearly
trebling in ten years—and yet some
folks say we are having hard times!

WORRY KILLS
Worry is as deadly as poison—slowly
but surely it underminds health, saps
strength and kills. V?ry often you
worry about things that never happen
—but the fact that they seldom hao-
pen does not lessen worry’s effect
on you.
Then too, there are many things
YOU SHOULD worry about. Death
may select you next. Sq insure your
self—and your loved ones today!
Then your wbrries will be over.
