WOULD INTEREST FARMERS
IN GROWING STRAWBERRIES
*ARNWELL BUSINESS MEN WILL PROBABLY HAVE MEETING IN
NEXT FEW DAYS TO LAUNCH MOVEMENT.—WOULD IN
CREASE ASPARAGUS ACREAGE ALSO.
Carolina Aftteftibly
Convened Tuesday
Expectations Are That Session Will
Be Short as Few Vacancies /
Are to Be Filled. *
Realizing that additional mon^y
•vrops for this immediate^ section to
supplement those already K I0 ' vn are
imperalive if the farmers are to be
saved from financial ruin, a moveiment
is on foot here to encourage the jfrow-
ing of strawberries and provide a
market therefor. That this delightful
fruit can be ^rown at a profit here has
already been demonstrated, but ihe
lack of a market discouraged growers,
individual express shipments being
necessary on account of the small
acreage.
The plan as told to a representative
of The People-Sentinel is to in
terest as many one-and two-horse
farmers as possible and enable then
to set out a half to an acTC of Jand m
strawberiy plant*. If a sufficient
number can be pledged to do this, a
market can readily 1h» provided at
Barnwell and additional revenue de
rived from the farms. , .
It is generally conceded that cotton
production is too uncertain with the
boll weevil and wide price fluctuations,
the government being largely respon
sible for the last named condition with
Us Memal and unwarranted predic
tions. Up in Chatham, N. C., straw*
berry culture has proved most profit
able and a local farmer states that the
value of the crop is in excess of the
•combftied receipts in this section from
asparagus, “cucumbers and watermel
ons.
Asparagus having proven highly
profitable as the result of cooperative
marketing, additonal acreage in tihs
important crop will also be encour
aged.
Terry Richardson ,who is one of
the promoters of the movement,/is
very enthusiastic, betiipvrng with many
others that the growing of straw-
beiries will prove finite profitable.
He is making an activp campaign for
the necessary acreage and stated
Tuesday that already apprOximte^y.
100 acres have been pledged. He is
very- anxious that the total acreage
be not less than 100, and even moro
if possible.
The merchants of Barnwell heartily
endorse the movement, as evidenced
by the fiont page of this i$sue. The
farmers, therefore, may rest assured
that if tho strawberries are planted,
in' sufficient quantity a market will
be provided here. - * .
If inteiested farmers have not al
ready done so, they should see Mr.
Richardson at once in order that
they may he properly listed.
Let’s make a concerted effort to
place this dounty in the forefront of
prosperity, where it rightfully be
longs by virtue of soil, climate and
Other natural advantages! *
The General Assembly op South
Carolina convened in Columbia at
noon Tuesday, and it was expected
that the legislators would be able to
proceed with their work, without de
lay. * This is. the holdover year, so
there is no organization to take place
except in thci case of vacancies, which
are few. /_ / "
The governor is lending every effort
to make the session short—to pre
vent the long dra>vn out assembly of
last year. To that fend he had the
budget rticommendations ready to be
put on the desks the first day, and/
the chairman of the ways and mea
committee of the House had called
his members together on the opening
afternoon. •
That elections drev few, with little
chance of any causing extended ballot
ing, argues well for a styuter term.
Major vacancies .to be filled by the
assembly are almost negligible. Thera
looms but two candidates, meaning
that the thing will he settled one way
or another with ope roll call, unless
unforeseen complications set in.

Attempt to Rob Bank
at Wagener Is Failure
V / —
> _
Aiken, Jan. 9.—An attempt was
made to rob the First National Bank
of Wagener. early this niommg r -h
year aUthe Confederate ho,me.
“January 1, 1927,” says the report^
“there were in the home 40 veterans
and 12 wives and widows of veterans,
total 52
“December .31, 1927, there weru in
the home 36 veterans and 18 wives
and widows^ of veterans, total 54.
“This would show an eveiage for
the year of 53 veterans and wives
and widows of veterans in the home
during 1927. The cost of maintain-
ance was $29,486.32, or an average
cost per inmate of $1.53 per day.
When it is remembered that the home
is a much mort, comfortable place
than the very large majority of pri
vate homes in the State, that an abun
dance of nourishing food is furnished,
that a physician is in constant atten
dance treating from 12 to 15 in the
hospital of the home and administer
ing medicine to as many more, each
day, that trained nurses and orderlkrs
are in constant service and thpt
good part of the clothing is furnish
ed, the hoard of commissioners feels
pride in the low cost qLmaintenance.
The home is kept .ihoroughlv clean/
is well heatui and lighted, is bright;
d airy, ami the last fitaYS of Tho r
John J. McMahan, present commis
sioner, will stand for re-election to
the office and Sam B. King, formerly
a member of the house from Green
wood County, will also be a candidate.
So far as is known at present only
these two will'offer for this place/
The terms of three circuit judges
expire in 1928 and elections will be
held to fill these places. The judges
whose terms expire are J. W. DeVore,
of Edgefield, S. W/ Shipp, of Flor
ence nndJ. Henry Johnson, of Allen
dale. It is thought that no opposi
tion will be offered in any of these
elections,
Two members of the railroad com
mission will also be elected, the
terms of Sam C. Blease, of Saluda,
chairrpan of the commission and of
Earle R. Ellebe, Of Latta, expiring
this year. Several trustees of State
institutions are also to be elected.
