Barnwell ^0 and 25 Years Ago.
Interesting Items Gleaned From the Files of The Barnwell People.
JULY 12. 1883.
There are twenty-four bar rooms in
this county.
Partial rains have fallen and the
outlook, is more hopeful.
There is very little rest in this
working world, except fo^'clerks in
stores that are not advertised.
Mr. W. G. Thompson has the best
cotton crop of which we have heard.
It averages shoulder high and is
locking in four-foot rows.
Mr. J. R. Easterling shipped on
Tuesday one car load of fine melons.
Other shippers are loading cars today
and business is 'brisk on depot street.
John A. GdnneJly, of Buford’s
Bridge, tells up that he and his family
have escaped* fever for two seasons
through planting sunflowers around
the house. He now ha* a plant
measuring 12 feet 6 inches in height
mod having 50 blooms.
Governor Thompson will appoint a
successor to Major Brabham, derk of
court, today. Mesaar* W. G. Simms
and M. G. Tobin are the most promin
ent candidates for the nomination.
The appointee of the governor will
hold the office until the election in
November, 1884.
The re-union of Capt. Tyler’s Com-
fsany at Binnaker’s on the 4th infrt.
TOcs a very pleasant affair. Of the
140 members who belonged to the
company during the war, only about
40 are known to survive. Twenty-
two survivors attended the re-union
ami a committee was appointed to
prepare a history of the command.
Maj. Josrah J. Brabham, Clerk of
Court of General Sessions and Com
mon Fleas, died at his residence in
Barnwell on Sunday morning, aged
years, 10 montha, 2 dnya. He had
been in feeble health far a long time
%nd hi- ha<l been expected for
many daya.
JULY 9, 1908.
Hon. J. E. Harley left on Thursday
for the Denver convention.
Hon. F. P. Woodward died on the
1st inst. at his homg. near Treadway,
aged 60 years. The funeral services
were conchic'ted by his Confederate
comrade, Rev. J. D. Peaicock, and Dr.
W. M. Jones, of Williston.
The cantaloupe growers eira un
lucky this year in several particulars.
The netted gems ripened ahead of
time and have to compete with both
the remnant of the Georgia crop and
the avalanche of peaches being rail
roaded North and West.
Col. George K. Ryan is a goed man
at figures. He^calculates that since
June 1st he has killed three million
flies. Each morning, Sundays includ
ed, he has set four sheets of tangle
foot paper and by nightfall they are
black with flies, which -are burned.
Probably the scarcity of flies is caus
ed by the steady war of the Colonel
and other business men and house
keepers against these winged sickness
spreaders and profanity producers.
After a lingering illness of several
weeks Mrs. Minnie S. Hay departed
this life at her home in Allendale on
the 2nd inst., leaving three sons and
two daughters to cherish her memory.
She belonged to one of the most
prominent families of the State. Her
husband, th* late Dr. Walter S. Hay,
had preceded her about three years
to the test and reward of heaven. For
long years «he had been consistent
member of the Presbyterian Church.
Her body was laid to rest in the family
burial ground at Bciling Springs.

Editors Get Rich by
Getting It In Neck
Scribe* Playeth Mrge Part* in Their
Kespectite Cocnmunitien at
Own Kipenae.
No doubt many readers of The Peo-
pl»-S»ntihr! have often wondered how
snU jr» manage to javummulate such
vm«t wealth in the peiYorniiince of
thefr e*»y and interesting tasks. An
item tel ing how it » done ia again
grung the r nods of the press ami
tki« w riter has attempt*-1 to bring
it up to <Utc after iU absence of some
year*. Here it is:
t oTisnU-r he editor: A child is
t>on. unto a wife of a meichint in
lowr. The phyuvwi getteth 35
plunk The e*htor writeth n stick
and a hslf and telfc-th the multitude
tkal the. child tippeth th.» beam at
nuw pcamda. Yei, he lieth even as a
G»n:ur>on. And the pr>ui father
giveth him a Crvmo.
Boho d the young cme grows up and
graduateth. And Ah* editor putteth
in the ;P«per. a swell piece. Yea, a
peach of a notice. He telleth of the
wwndorn of the youcg woman ami of
her exuding comohnes*. Like unto
the rose* of Sharon us she. and her
jgown is played up to beat the band.
And the dressmaker getteth two score
and four irrm men. And the editor
jget'.eth a note of thanks. (Maylie.)
And the daughter goeth on a jour-
a*y. And the edi’.or throweth himself
o»i the story of the farewell paity. It
ranneth a column v^alid. And the fair
■caie namanhereth him fr.-m afar with
.a vsird costeth six for a jitney.
Behold, she rcturneth, and the town
fxdielh down and worship. She piek-
eth one ami io, she picketh a lemon.
But xhe editci cslleth him one cf our
promising young men and getteth
snway with it. And they send unto the
redder u bid to the wedding, and the
kids are Fashioned in a far city.
The mini-ter mumbleth a few
wia-th in the church that maketh the
twain one and getteth his bit. Flow-
• err -and long is the wedding notice
which the editor printeth, but nary
■ a son nor a shekel doth he get.
Tne honeymoon passeth and when
‘friend husband mumbleth a few
woids in hi- sleep about his love-nest
ill .a .UMrt-bouse high up in the sky, his
prmetureth his anatomy while
!he •idrt'peth and the editor dutifully
print tab her sob-s‘.ory of the “acci
dent"" And the lawyer getteth his
atitfee.
■Rie editor printeth a death notice,
•two columns of obituary, three lodge
notices, i cubit of poetry, and a card
«of thinks. And he forgetteth to reed
proof on the head, mud it reads “Gone
Her Last Rotating Place.”
And mil that are akin to the de-
Jampeth on the editor with ex-'
eroding jump*. And they pu loth out
their mis and cancelrth their sub*.
• nd they sw.ng the hammer even unto
the third and fourth generations.

The Bank as a Rebuilder
I N place of a 3 per cent loss on an In
vestment of $40,000 a large New
York aavings bank la now getting 6
psr cent profit on an Investment of
$80,000, because it had the good busi
ness Judgment to spend $40,000 In mod
ernizing a group of 40-year-old tene
ment houses on the lower East Side
which it was forced to take over on
mortgage foreclosure, says an article
In the American Bankers Association
Journal. A year or two ago the owner,
who bad always kept up his mortgage
payments, began to neglect the prop
erty, it became run down and the ten
ants began to leave.
The bank remodeled the buildings
completely, putting in an oil-burning
heating plant, incinerators and other
modern changes, with the result the
buildings are now entirely rented, and
there is $14,000 a year coming In in
stead of several thousand going out At
that rate the Improvements will pay for
themselves in three years.
This same bank has done 15 other
renovation jobs similar to this, and all
have proved profitable. The bank has
Its own architects and is employing
seven painters who are kept busy con
tinuously.

STEEL ALONE
IS NOT ENOUGH!
—neither strong enough, nor
safe enough, nor quiet enough
for the body of a quality cafjike
CHEVROLET
Why is it that every 12-
cylinder and 16-cylin
der car in America has bodies of steel
reinforced by hardwood? Why is it
that every make of car selling for over
$4000 uses bodies of exactly the same
type? Why? For the same reason that
Chevrolet uses it exclusively. Because
every test and every experiment have
definitely proved: STEEL ALONE IS
NOTENOUGH!
The trouble with steel alone is that it
stands just so much shock and punish
ment. Steel alone is also inclined to
rumble and rattle. BUT—when you
put the two together—a heavy, staunch
steel body over tough, solid hardwood
— then the hardwood reinforces the
steel—and vice versa! And the re
sult: the strongest, safest type of body,
such as Fisher builds for Chevrolet.
