The first touchdown was made in the second quarter on the fifth down after Barnwe'l had held the Twins for four dawns on their own 15-yaid line, the extra down being due to a mistake of the head-linesman. The try for extra point failed. The second touchdown was scored in the third period after Barnwell had been penal ized 15 yards for piling cn. Two tries at the line failed and the Twins drew a five-yard penalty for off-side. The score was made on a long pass to the receiver standing in the end zone. The visitors had things pretty much their own way in the first half, forcing the locals to play a defensive game. Howevet, in the fourth period the Barnwell boys unloosed an aerial attack that ran the 20-yaid line, they staged a 60-yard march down the field that was not ha^ed until Brookland-Cayce inter cepted pass ».n the visitors’ 20-yard stripe. This was Barnwell's most serious secring threat of the after noon. The visitors presented a well bal anced and more experienced aggrega tion and a faster backfield than the locals, this having been their fourth atari and Barnwell’s second. The Bamberg high school eleven will furnish the opposition here this (Thursday) afternoon, the game starting promptly at 3:00 o'clock. This game is being played in connec tion with the 18th annual meeting of the South Carolina Asparagus Grow ers Association, which will be held here t day. Bamberg always put* out a scrappy team and an exciting contest is expected. The entire community was„ shocked and saddened yesterday (Wednesday) morning when it became known that Mrs. Edna S. Bronson, wife of Robert L. Bronson, clerk of court for Barn well' County, had passed away sud denly about 11:30 o’clock Tuesday night. Mrs. Bronson had been in ill health fer two or three years and had suffered, from severe headaches for the past two days.

To Form Credit Firm For Loans to Farmers Cotton Crop Placed at 12,885,000 Bales GoternmenUit Latest Gue** Raise* Preview Forecast by Nearly a Half Million Hale*. ers by increasing the buying pewev of these American workers. Until a few year s ago the United States was entire’y dependent on foreign countries for its supply of Washington, Oct. 9.—The federal nop reporting hoard today again re vised its estimates of cotton pioduc- tion this year upwaid by predicting a 12,885,000 bale er<^) as compared to the foieca*t of 12,414,000 a month ago. Meanwhile, however, dissatisfaction with prices cn the part of the grower and the farm adjustment administra tion had led the government to an nounce that it would lend farmers ten cents a pound on the cotton from this year’s crop they still hold cr have yet to gather. Despite the emergency acreage re duction campaign this summer which took more than 10,000,000 acres out cf production, the indicated crop is oily 117,000 hales less than that pro- duced last year. It, however, is 1,- 781,000 bales below the 1928-1932 average of 14,066,000 bales. The census bureau reported today that 5,851,415 bales had already been gined this year as compared to 4,- 835,990 in the corresponding period last year. Uompliance Hoard Appointed. Herman I. Mazursky, Esq., chair man of the Barnwell County Compli ance Board, has appointed the follow Unrporation Will He Capitalized at $3,000,006 at Once.—Cotton to He Security. Washington, Oct. 6. — President Roosevelt announced today that the first concrete move in hi* latest effort to raise commodity price* and in- crease farm purchasing power would be the immediate creaticn of a credit corporation to lend to farmers on crop *ccut ity. The corporation, whose personnel is now being e:n*ideied .will have an initial capitalization of $3,000,000, and it* first duty will be to carry out the administration’s promise to lend cot ton farmers ten cent* a pound on their present crop if they agree to join in the campaign designed to reduce acre age by 40 per cent next year. The corporation will have authority to lenl on other commodities, but cotton is the only crop now being con sidered for benefits. The agency will hi* responsible to the president and Secretary Wallace. Announcing his plan at his press conference, Mr. Roosevelt said the $3,000,000 capital would come out of the farm administration’s, surplus crop capital fund and money for the loans ould be borrowed from the Re construction Finance corporation. The loans, to bear interest at 4 per cent, will be made at the nearest acceptable warehouse on all cotton above low middling grade of seven- eighth inch staple. Only the crop n«w in the hands of {aimers will be eligible for loans, and no loans will be made after June 30, 1934. The effect of the loans will be to assure farmers a minimum of ten cents a pound for the cotton they hold. It has been selling somewhat below that frr some time. There will be restrictions as to the time of sale to prevent a runaway market. For example, if the price reaches 15c, farmers would be icom- pelled to sell. Successful Meeting Held at Williston B. Y.

Young Man Wanted to Risk Life and Limbs International Congreaa of Daredevita Will He Held at Orangeburg County Fair. Like a page torn raggedly frem those engrossing tales of the “Suicide Club” comes the invitation by way of a classified advertisement for a y ung man to risk his life and limbs—for a consideration. If he wins he comes out of the or deal richer. If he loses—but then no young man who would take up such a challenge would consider for a moment the possibility of failure. Five minutes of hair-raising, breathtaking excitement is all the feat will take. Are ycu game? The advertisement appears on another pagg of The Pec- ple-Sentinel. Beam was asked what he would allow the drivers as protection and he said, “They can use crash helmets or pad themselves all they want but as far as telling the boys how to pro tect themselves frem serious accident, they will have to figure that out for themselves as no one can tel) what the cars will do when they hit. They may go end ever ynd and they might roll over sideways.” The one thiqg that Beam says that he insists on is that the beys crash at forty miles per hour and when they do that they are giving the crowds all the thrills they can stand. This is only one of the features of the International Congress of Dare devils which will be held on Tuesday afteincon only, October 24th, at the Orangeburg County Fair. There will be professional motorcycle riders, au to polo, Jack Early crashing through a double beard wall with a motorcycle, somersalting and roll over cars, the Funny Ford and the famous Ash Can Derby. Farmers Can Now Gel v Ten Cents for Cotton Blackville Federal Warehouse Begaa Lending That Amount on Staple Saturday. D. Stanley Brown, manager cf the Blackville Federal Warehouse, was in the city Monday morning and told a representative of The People-Sentinel that he began lending ten cents a pound on cotton to fanners Saturday and as a result about 150 bales cf the fleecy staple were stored in his ware- . house that day. He expect* receipts to increase daily and is making prepara tions to store a maximum of 5,000 bales. This loan is being made under the government’s new plan to boost the price of cotton to a profitable level and only farmers can benefit thereby, speculators and gamblers being bar red. Mr. Brown said Monday that farmers who sign an agreement to reduce their acreage 40 per cent, of the five-year average can store their cotton in his warehouse now and draw 10 cents for low middling 7-8 inch staple or better grades, there being no premium for extra staple or grades. Four per cent, interest will be charged on the loan and the cotton may be sold at any time the farmer desires between now and June inti 1934. Another attractive feature of the plan, Mr. Brown said, is that no. mar gins will be required should the price decline. On the other hand, the farm er will reap the advantage of any ad> vance in price above the ten cents level after paying interest on the loan and storage charge*. Mr. Brown expect* an accelerated holding move ment as soon as the details of the plan become generally known and predicts that in a short time the males of spot cotton on the varionn market* will virtually ceaae. While the BLackviHe Fedeinl Warehouse is the only warehouse ot its kind in the county and the only cne to make loans of ten cents an early as last Saturday, W. J. Lemon, of the firm of Lemcn Bros., Inc., of this city, who operate a warehouse un der the State system, Raid Monday morning that loan* at ten cents n pound will probably be available on cottton stored in State warehouses . within a very few days. It is under stood that loan* on «uch cotton are being withheld pending the perfec tion of the government's, loan plan. In the meantime, Mr. Brown said Monday morning that those who de sire to negotiate such loan* at once* may do so by storing their cotton in hi* warehouse st Blackville. Thane who are interested may get fuD de tails of the plan by consulting Mr. Brown. ing members of the Board in this county: W. W. Cain, of Blackville; R. L. Hair, of Williston; H. W. San ders, of Barnwell; J. E. Kennedy, cf Williston; Mr.*. O. H. Best and R. C. Holman, both of Barnwell. A meet ing will be held at an early date tq^ perfect a permanent organization.
