NUMBER 51 Old Copy of Sentinel Devoted to War News Many Interesting Items to Be Found in Issue Dated Saturday, Au gust 17, 1861. Seen and Heard Here During the Past Week A Little Sense and Nonsense About People You Know and Others You Don’t Know. The editor of The People-Sentinel is very much indebted to Dr. W. -M. Jones, cf this city, for a copy of The Barnwell Sentinel, dated Saturday, August 17, 1861. As might be ex pected practically the entire issue, 'with the exception advertisements, is devoted to new s of the War Be tween the States, which started in the spring of the same year. Among other interesting items .is an announcement that Gen. J. E. Tobin, of Blackville, proposed to raise a company of cavalry for the war, while another told that ‘“Capt. C. Wick. McCreary’s Company, 100 strong, left the District on Wednes day last for the seat of war. Pre vious to their departure from W’illis- ton, they were addressed by Mr. W. F. Eubanks in a very appropriate speech.” The “Alien Guards,” from old Barnwell District, were stationed at Camp Allen, near Corinth, Miss., and the muster roll was as follows: Cap- ! tain, T. H. Mangum; First Lieuten ant, James M. Day; Second Lieuten ant, G. E. Steadman; Third Lieuten ant, H. R. Guyton; First Sergeant, G. T. Raworth; Sec nJ Sergeant, W. M. Steedman; Thirl Sergeant. C.

One who sto d by the side of the South Carolina General states that he never saw a man so frenzied, yet-so corily-imprudent and terribly nerved.

Knight seeking the re covery of two runaway slaves, “Mary, aged about 40, and her son, Montague, aged about 17 years. Mary is of stout build. She was pur chased from the Estate of Angus Patterson, has a brother at Mr. John folly’s, and her mpther belongs to Mr. George Ray.” Another adver tisement, signed by J. M.

Wallace. “Mighty blue,” echoed Senator Rus sell, also of Georgia. The jenaters led a delegation, in cluding Representatives Vinson, Tarver, Parker, Brown, Deen, and Owen, of Georgia, McSwain, of South Carolina, Doughton, of North Caiolina, and Collins, of Mississippi. They asked that Wallace call a hearing for a reducti n of the cotton processing tax, which they aaid was beginning to thwart the whole re covery program. Five cotton mills a'ready have closed, they said, be cause the pr cessing tax and increas- ed labor costa raised prices so high that prospective buyers were keeping their money in their pocketa. M<>st of the delegates urged upon Wallace • the neceseity of inflation, either cf currency, credit qr both. They •aid meantime that immediate announcement of Wallace’s plana for the 1934 and 1935 crops would go far to bolster the present market. The Georgia delegation returned later to urge upon Wallace the pay ment of 910,000,000 tn read funds held Trcpkal Storm.
