VIRGINIA-CAROLIN A FIELb TRIALS CLOSED WEDNESDAY To Grow Bananas In South WORKING COMMIT 9 CHAMPION BEATEN IN ALL-AGE STAKE. Feagin's Mohawk Pal Loses Cleanly to Seaview Rex, a Pointer from Atlantic City.-— — Seaview Rex, a pointer owned by Mrs. Stickney Hodson, of Atlantic City, N. J., won the all-age stake of the Virginia-Carolin a bird dog.trials, which was decided here last Wednes day and brought to a close the annual meeting of this club. Master Rodfield’s Doctor, a setter owred by T. • S. Comstock, of Thom- asville, N. C., won second and third went to the setter, Feagin’s Mohawk Pal, a setter owned by E. M. Tutwiler, Jr., of Birmingham, Ala. Great interest attached to this race on account of the fact that Feagin’s Mohawk Pal was the winner of the National Championship afr.Grand Jun^ ction, Tennessee, last January * Seaview Rex was the runner up.- In this stake of tjjMVirrfnia-Caro- lina club, howevery tr5| Atlantic City pointer beat the national champion so decisively that no one could question the award. His race, as one of the Judges expressed it, was one hundred per cent perfect, his work on game was excellent and his range and speed was all that could be desired. , Feagip’s Mohawk Pal also ma<k> « nice find of a bevy and handled it per fectly, but his pace and range were very ordinary and toward the close cf the heat was running at a very or dinary shooting dog pace. Master Rodfiekig Doctor, surpassed all the dogs in the stake in the find- irg of game, he having three clean bevy points to his credit, but in pace and range he was somewhat inferior to the performance of Seaview Rex. A great future is said to b« in store for the Virginia-Carolirai club and it is predicted that the meeting next year will be the largest in ita history. According to information received by The People—Sentirel. the dub will be reorganised and it is highly probable that a local man will hold an impor tant office. It is also understood thst there is a strong probability that the American Amateur Trials will be held in Barnwell, and A. F. Hochwalt, who is recogrixed as a supreme authority on field trials, is said to have made tne statement that, if the birds along the courses are protected for three years, the biggest events in the coun try will be held here. Mr. Hochwalt is very enthusiastic about the Barn well grounds and frankly stated that th*.y are the finest in America. He alter ds practically all of the. field trials held in the United States and Canada, and last summer viait3d Scotland also. He came to Barnwell as the representative of “The Ameri can Fie.J,” a leading oportaman’s publication of Chicago, and also re ported the events to a number of leading newspapers througout country. was fourd this ^ar than on the oc casion of the club’s first visit to Barnwell and the members of Letters td Santa Claus Kiddies Tell Their Wants Martin, S.

Appoints Miss McNab Demonstration Agent Miss Elizabeth McNab, of Barn well, has been appointed Home Demon stration Agent for Barnwell County to succeed Miss Willie Mae Vann, who handed in her resignation a short time ago. Miss McNab being a Barnwell County girl does not need an introduc tion bo Barnwell people. She has taught in the city schools of Barnwell, Columbia and Sumter, S. C., and Gas tonia, N. C. She is a Winthrop gradu ate, having taken a course of tram- irg in Home Economics at Winthrop College for three years prior to her teaching experience; and having act ed-as Girl’s Scout Leader she is wcil prepared to take up this work. She is beirg released by the Board of Trustees cf the Barnwell City schools, where she. is now teaching, bo go to Winthrop for the Annual Conference of Agents December 7-17.* At this conference special instmetiona are given to all agents and round tanle discussions and conferences held along the various lines of their work.

Many Enjoy Services in Barnwell Church Interesting to note 'hat Otis and Co., Massachusetts cotton rmll op?-n- bors, are going tp pull up fctfckes and move South; that the list of others who are. considering such a move is steadily growing and that the end is not yet in sight. I have always con tended that right here is where these mills belong—in th« cotton fields. Cotton products will always be in de mand; that ar over-supply of any of the staple crops is not beet. Location of mills, some in Barnwell, others else where, will afford a big saving in the freight on the raw material north, ar well as the finished' product back home, besides the pressing into bales in many instances could then be done away with. Let us make an effort to offe>r some inducements to get at least one of these big mills cone here. Kline, S. C.

This was some smaller than was an ticipated by the New York gamblers. The report placed the girnings at 14,- 644,968 bales, which many do not think indicate as large a crop as the government has estimated. It is un derstood that when the market re opened after the report, prices ad vanced about 30 points, but later lost a part of the gain Music Recital. Mrs. Ira Pales will present the Beethoven Music Club in a piaro and voice recital, assisted by the violin pupils of Mrs. Norman Anderson, at the school auditorium on Friday even ing, Dec. 17, at 8:00 o’clock.

The spacious auditorium of the beautiful new Baptist Church budding in Barnwell was taxed to capacity at the Sunday morning and evcr.ing ser vices, the first to be held in the new edifice. In addition to the members of the corgregations of th« Baptist and other denominations in the city, many visitors were present and both services were greatly enjoyed by all who attended. Dr. W. M.

The subject of junk as a sure source of income came up. 1 know of a case where church folks raised consid able money in this way and it is here cited that Barnwell folks who right row have the problem of raising a little money for churches can do like wise. Let the children of both de nominations gather up all the juiik now goirg to waste in our back alleys, bring it in some central place, assort it, and when as much as a carload has been accumulated, ask for bids. Old scrap iron, bottlee, rags, paper and whatnot gathered up will in a way make the town more presentable, be sides a lot of money can be garnered in for worthy causes.

It is es timated that 4,000 bales of cotton have been gimed at Denmark this season, the largest on record since the advent of the boll weevil, 19,620 bales for the county against 18,154 last year. Our neighbor, Blackville, is en- livered by a carnival show this week gathering in the few pennies Which Should be divided into other trade channels. Several of the younger set from Barnwell visited that town Mon day night and returned with trophies of their winnings from many games of chance on the Midway. Master Makes Only Three Land Sales The largest saleeday crowd of the- year was in Barnwell Monday and, as cne local business man remarked, “It looked like old times.” Parktrg space around The Circle and Court House Square was crowded with automo biles and some of the merchants re port quite a brisk trade. Several local and out of town dealers had drove* of horses and mules on sale. Only three land sales were made by the Master, G. M. Greene, Esq., as follows: S. E. Morris, et al., vs. Bascom Mor ris, et si., 82 acres, sold to 8. E. Mor ris for 91,025. Metropolitan Life Insurance Co. vs. C. J. H. Still,. 505 acres, sold to G B. Elliott, attorney, for $5,000.

The announcement of the person nel ef the Working Committees in the other towns of the County will be made later. That the importance of this great work is recognised by thoee high in authority is shown by the following urqualified endorsement of President Calvin Cooitdge: “The beet testimony to the effect iveness of the work which the Nat ional Tuberculosis Association has been doing for smny years is fousd in the impressive record of the les sened death rate and’continually re duced addiction to the white ptegne of tuberculosis.

Some idea of the importance and magnitude of the work may be gained when it is known that test ysar Christ mas Seal purchasers bought hope, health and hapiness for many South Carolina homes (some of them right here in Biumwell County) by sup porting guberculoeis workers in nice counties and two State-wide workers; by a health education program thro ugh newspapers, talks* exhibits, films ard other methods; by training 20,- 000'school children in health habits; by giving free expert examination to 3,256 persons who had tuberculeais; by finding ard helping 788 persons who had tuberculosis; by furnishing 6,420 nunteg visits to the homes of patients; by giving medical hepect- k>n to 5,708 ephooi children, of whom 4,548 hid effects naedfag by placing 200 pHento at i That this work is boarteg fruit Is assn from the decreased death rate fi this decease. 2fi%l persons bar D •• in 1925 the tol*l«. as one of Urn little
