Advertise in The People-Sentinel
From seven billion smoked in 1922
to twenty-eight billion smoked in 1927
—sales doubled and redoubled all with
in five years. These aie the startling
figures announced by the Liggett and
Myers Tobacco Company for their
ever-popular Chesterfield Cigarette.
This amiaizing growth, representing
a gain of 300 per cent, signalizing not
only the % universal preference for the
cigardtte as the smokers’ choice, but
the acceptance of this one particular
brand as the popular favorite.
It is corservatively estimated-dhat
Chesterfield has acquired at least a
million new users in a little-over a
year—ceitainly convincirg proof. that
=j finer quality and better taste is sub-
stantially recognized by the cigarette
smoking public.
This genuine testimorjal for good
Icbaccos and good blending is based
largely on Chesterfield’s particularly
pleasing flavor and taste. As it is
stated in the advertisements, Chester
fields are “mild and yet they satisfy”;
in other words, the flavor has beer so
skillfully balanced as to eliminate any
suggestion of harshness or bite, and
yet leave enough richness and body to
“let a smoker know he’s smoking.”
Nor is Chesterfield’s rapid growth
limited to the boundaries of the United
States. Sales reports have revealed
that this brand is world-wide Tn its
**
acceptance, as shown by the fact that
in practically all the. principal cities
of the world it is found to be among
"the leading sellers.
In f$ot*AChesterfield’s world-wide
recognition has giver, rise to another
new advertising slogan jyhich truth
fully asserts that “th£ sun never sets
on Chesterfield’s popularity”—with
the added distinction that “Such popu
larity must be deserved” because of
"' . - . -i A •
a taste and quality which won smokers
the world over ard will continue to win
them because it is what they want.
In current advertising, Liggett and
Myers is making strong use of their
oft-repeated “platform,” in which t^hey
declare over their signature that it is
their honest bolief that the.tobaccos
used in Chesterfield Cigarettes are of
the firr?r quality and hence of better
taste than in any other cigarette at
the price.”
Moye Baxley, aged 31 years, died
suddenly Friday mornir^: at his home
near Hagood’s Mill, his body being
laid to rest the following day in the
Still cemetery, the Rev. Mr. ‘ Heckle
conducting the funeral services. Mr.
Baxley is survived by his widow, two
children, his parents, two sisters and
six brothers.
The bereaved families have tl\p sir*
cere sympathy of many friends in
their loss.

Carlot movement of asparagus from
South Carolin a will get under way
about April 1; or-some two weeks
later than last year, and with favor
able weather the crop should be slight
ly heavier than that of 1927, which
was 438 solid cars, with perhaps 100
mere darlots m express shipmenits.
Geoige E. Prince, Clemson College,
vchief of the marketing division of the
extension service, says the improved
grade and pack of the South Carolina
asparagus have won a secure place
with the trSde. It has betn shown,
he believes, that the consumers prefer
a quality product of long stoc^e. Last
season such asparagus from South
Ceuolina out-sold the California on the
Boston market.
- « V'
All shipments made last year by
the two larger associations of growers
in South Carolin a were officially in
spected and the producers were so
well pleased with the results that they
have asked for similar service this
season
To date several small sxpress ship
ments have been made from Barnwell,
but with the coming of warm weather
it is expected that thu movement will
be increasingly heavy.

Washington, D. C., March 27.—The
fascination of farm life has reassert-
ejd itself, to judge from new statistics
available here. The siren call of the
barnyard animals and the open farm
land spaces is lesponslble for the fact
that the movement of population from
farms to cities has slackened. There
is a very marked tendency now for
persons not only to “stay on the farm”
but a lso to go back to it.
W. M. Jardine, the Secretary of
Agriculture, has stated that 3,250,000
people were lost t° the farm popula
tion during the past eight years. The
Bureau of AgriculturarEconomicshas
announced that while the movement
from farms to cities continued jn 1927,
it was considerably decreased.
The bureau estimates that 1,978,000
persons left farms last year, com-
paied with 2,155,000 in 1926 and 1,-
9001,000 in 1925. _
Offsetting this movement, 1,374,000
.persons moved from cities to farms
last year, compared with 1,135,000 in
1926 and 1,066,000 in 1925.
The figures show that in the New
* iT *' ' ■*' .
England States 65,000 persons left
t!ie farms last year and 60,000 went
to farms; Middle Atlantic States, 120,-
000 persons from farms and 94,000
persons to farms; East North Central,
30”,009 from farms and 220,000 to
farms; Wqst North Central, 378,000
from farms and 236,000 to farms;
South Atlantic 264,000 from farms and

the city for faims during the same
eight-year period, it was found that
87 per cent, had previously had some
farm experience.
“This would indicate,” sai|d the
Secretary, “that the movement from
city to farm is very largely the move-
189,000 to farmif'-East South Cen- ment back to farms of people dfiseorr

“A study of 2,745 persons leaving
tented for one reason or another with
city life and work. There is no way
of knowing except by inference
whether the loss of farm population
to cities is leaving a poorer class of
farmers on** the farms or a better
class.” *
According to the final ginnir«g re
port issued by the Department of
Commerce several days ago, Barnwell
County produced 13,449 bales of cot
ton in 1927, as compared with 29,284
the previous year, which means that
the production last year was only 46
per cent, as large as that of the big
1926 yield. Unseasonable weather
conditions that encouraged boll weevil
damage are blamed for the big de
crease'. . 3 r-r-
