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.

Columbia and Sumter, S. C., and Gas
tonia, N. C. She is a Winthrop gradu

irg in Home Economics at Winthrop

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.

The government report, which was
made public yesterday (Wednesday)
.morning, forecasts a cotton crop of
18,618,000 hales, an increase of about
300,000 bales in the past two weeks.
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

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.

Farmers over in Bamberg County
are going in for peanuts next year,
already having established a peanut
shelling plant at Denmark. 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.

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.

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. The success ef the mea
sures which hav# been token to cape
with thia dmeasr is one of the real
triumphs of modern medical arienea,
and I am glad of the opportunity to
attest my high approval end my boat
driahee for the coctteuing success ef
the work.”
It ie gratifying to know that the
views of the leading citisen of Mm
United States coincide with those of
a number of the leading cHiseta of
Barnwell County, as published te lost
week’s issue of this paper.
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-
