THURSDAY, AUGUST 15, 1935. =======p= A Daring Experiment. Dr. Ralph S. Willard, of Holly- woadi, Calif., claims that he has frozen guinea pigs and monkeys at a temperature 30 degrees below freez ing and brought them back to life again after several weeks. A serum is injected into the veins to prevent the blood from congealing before the animal is subjected to the freezing process. Dr. Willard hopes to show eventually that the “freezing death” would overcome tuberculosis and even cancer. ^ the same relationship to the State that Blackville, Aug. 12.-^The young the State does to the United States, people of Blackville and surrbunding being in the southeastern part. In communities are enjoying a new'this comparison, it has anothersimi- swimming pool during the hot weather. | Urity,. the State being the smallest This swimming pool was recently of the South Atlantic group; so the smaller completed and is one of the prettiest and finest pools in South Carolina. It is located about 4 miles from Black ville on- the Columbia highway, near Healing Springs. Construction ofjhe pool was started under the Civil Works Adlministration and completed by the Emergency Re lief Adminis:ration. These agencies furnished all labor and a- portion of the materials used in construction of this pool. The town of Blackville, its citizens and several citizens of Barn well County contributed the major portion of the materials and equip ment which consisted of cement, lum- 874 but ?t bar, pipe, nails. cypress poles, tniclts' hffB^^een lost in the formation of wt'. and wagons. The water supply is piped a distance of five hundred feet , , from Zelda Springs which is located To further hu, experiment, the doe- on the propel , y of Mrs w s Mims county numbers among the counties. ■' Its latitude is 33^ degrees north and its longitude is Si H degree s west. Its area in 1917 prior to the establish ment of Allendale County was square miles (559,360 acres) has been reduced to 522 squars miles, (344,080 acres). Barnwell County' was first “settled in 1701 by General John Barnwell, Revolutionary leader. An act of the General Assembly in 1798 named the territory between the South Edisto and Savannah Rivers as Barnwell Dis trict. More than half of this territory k :' tor has called for a human subject and Stephens Simkhovitch, a robust film writer of Hollywood, has offered himself as the “human icicle,” and began dieting Sunday for the ordeal. The district attorney’s office says that immediate steps will be taken to prevent such an experiment. Neither guinea pigs nor monkeys have souls. Only man—made in the image of God—has an immortal soul, we are taught. When death occurs, the soul goes back to its Maker. What does the learned doctor propose to do with Simkho^itch’s soul during the days that his mortal doby lies in a frozen state? Does he think that he can freeze that also? Or keep it confined to its mortal habitat? Or ;will it wander around in a nebulous state^ hovering between life and death, obedient to Dr. Willard’s will? Or is the doctor merely a fakir seek ing newspaper publicity ? “Some "rfa*7 Eyes and See Not.” Editor Armfield of The Newberry Herald and News lists himself as among those who have been reading the Saturday Evening Post all of their lives and never suspected that it was a Republican publication until so in formed by The People-SentineL n . We never thought that The Post claimed to be anything else. Unless we do not understand the English language, its editorial page for many years has been pro-Republican, af- though several months ago ' Editor .Lorrimer did sause quite a ripple in the political pend by calling for the formation of a new party by the fus ion of elements from both the Demo cratic and Republican ranks. Most of its political feature articles, for which hts pays good money, are at tacks on the Roosevelt administration —many of them, we think, most unfair. .One of its regular contributors is a former spokesman for 1 and defender of ex-President Hoover. It hardly aeems reasonable to suppose that all of the paid magazine writers in the United States are inimicable to the New Deal. Surely, The F/,st, if it be the paladin of fairness that The Herald and News believes it to be, could have found a few writers to present the other side of the picture, but we rather suspect that The Post believes the Republican party to be the palladium of human and civil rights and that “the king can do no wrong.” A case in point was the article by two writers (one could hardly have accomplished the job by himself) in which an effort was made to saddle the bank crash upon the shoulders of President Roosevelt, because, it was glaimed, he failed to make reassuring statements between the time of his election in November ana 1 his inaugu- ,ration the following March! Hadn’t President Hoover been making “reas suring statements” from the time of the stock market crash in October, 1929, until he went down in ignomin ious defeat in November, 1932? Wasn’t he continually assuring and reassuring us that “prosperity is just around the corner”? President Roosevelt may not have made “reassuring statements” during the interim between his election and inauguration, hut he certainly went into action imjnediately following the latter and did something that Presi dent Hoover is said to. have contem plated but lacked the courage to do— close the banks and bring financial or der out of chaos. , The Herald and News does not ap prove of all of the policies of the New Deal—neither does The People- fientinel but let’s be fair and give the Roosevelt administration credit for at least a few worthwhile accomplish- The site on which the pool is located was contributed by J. W. Browning, who has worked zealously towards the completion of this pool. This pool is 125 feet long and 60 feet wicb, being sloping from 18 in ches to 8 feet for a distance of 75 feet of its length, the remaining 60 feet being 8 feet deep throughout. It is constructed'of concrete. The pool can be drained entirely by an opening in its bottom. Being the only swimming pool in a radius pf 10 or 15 miles, it is ex pected to be a source of great pleas ure and recreation to the people of this community. It is through the untiring efforts of B. D. Ellis, of Barnwell, that this pro jest was completed. Work stopped several times, but due to his determin ation, the pool was completed Mr. Ellis is supervisor of the work* di vision of the ERA in Barnwell County. NEGRO KILLED TUESDAY IN PECULIAR ACCIDENT Leroy Simpkins, 50-Vear old negro laborer in the employ of the Leigh Banana Crate Co., was instantly kill ed about noon Tuesday in a peculiar accident, according to information given The People-Sentinel by Clayton S. Trotti, of Williaton, who investi gated the accident in the absence of Sheriffff J. B. Morris and his deputy, Gilmore S. Harley. Simpkins and a fellow laborer, Henderson McDonald, were working in Aiken, Bamberg and Allendale Coun ties. In the history of the State this coun ty holds a's rong strategetic position, being a pioneer and instrumental in its political, industrial, religioul, edu cational and social developments. According to the 1930 Census, Barnwell County had 2,375 farms, ag gregating 198,434 acres. The popula tion of the county was 21,221, of which there were 7,724 native whites, 32 foreign-born whites, and 13,465 ne groes. According to the census Barn well County had 19 manufacturing plants employing 262 wage earners. The surface of the county is undu lating to rolling, the western part be ing the most rugged. , In the northern part creeks and branches furnish drainage to the Edis to River, the central and southern part being drained by tributaries of the Saltkehatchie and Savannah Rivers. The altitude being only a few hundred feet above the sea level, the streams flow sluggishly and are bordered with wide swamps. The swamps, however, are heavily timbered with gum, pop lar, cypress, short leaf pine and water oak. These swamp forests have been inducements for the location of numer- erous saw mills and veneering plants which operate continuously, doing a large business.

Two weeks ago, Archie Ellis, minis terial student, of Dunbarton, conduct ed a revival meeting at Central Bap tist Church, in Aiken County, and as a result there were 22 additions, to the church membership. Attendance was good from all parts of the county an^ especially from the surrounding com munity. Last week Mr. Ellis was at Clear water Baptist Church, four .miles from Aiken, where there were 12 ad ditions to the membership. The Rev. Mr. Camp, of Augusta, is pastor of this church. Attendance throughout the week was especially good. On Sunday Mr. Ellis conducted ser vices in the Hardeeville Baptist Church, and next Sunday, August 18, he will conduct morning and evening services at the Williston Baptist Church. Mr. Ellis is a son Dr. and Mrs. E. W. Ellis, of Dunbarton. Returned to Barnwell County. Augusta, Ga., Augusf 8.—Mack Collins, negro, of 1122 Reynolds St., arrested by city police for authorities of Barnwell, S. C., was turned over to Magistrate G. R. Peeples, of Meyer’s Mill.. Officers P. A. Brodie and V. E. Meeks took Collins in custody; He was reported wanted on a petty lar ceny charge. > Kills Large Rattle Snake Jamison Williams, who lives on the farm of C. F. Molair, in Red Oak, reports that he killed a large rattle sna^e under the corner of his house. The reptile had 11 rattles and the usual button and measured about 4 feet in length. TRY A BUSINESS BUILDER paration and distribution. One of the outstanding business successes has been the rapid growth of the sale and distribution of Bire- ley’s Orangeade, which is prepared, bottled and delivered by milk dealers throughout the country. j. Herbert Black, of Black’s Dairy, distributors of Birleley’s Orangeade in Barnwell, has selected The People- Sentinel to carry an advertising cam paign on Bireley’s Orangeade. Mr. Black states that the advertising manager of Bireley’s in California has recommended newspaper advertising as ‘the best medium for acquainting the pilbtic wi^h Bireley’s Orangeade. "This real fruit ’bever'age is distri buted by over a thousand milk dealers in that many cities. The majority of these have used) newspaper advertis ing and feel that it has played a large part in increasing the sale of Bireley’s Orangeade to such an extent that at this time it is the largest sell ing fruit beverage. Acccarding to Mr. Black, of Black’s Dairy, citrus fruit juices and mi lk have many things in common. Both are semi-perishable, botW must be handled by refrigeration, and with care; because of this, Bireley’s origi nated and developed the dairy produc tion anj distribution for their product. The handling of milk has made pos sible the retention of the natural flavor and full value of the orange. The same equipment is used to pre pare and" botttle .this prodlUct as is psed in the handling of the milk. The orange juice from which Bire ley’s Orangeade is made is extracted from selected oranges of standard quality at the BireTey 'plant in South ern California. Special equipment, operating under immaculately sanitary conditions, makes it only a matter of moments from the time the juice is taken from the fruit Until it is packed in hermetically sealed, enamel lined tins ready for shipment. No artifi- /Oial flavoring or preservatives are used. Lemon juice is also added! in order to give the beverage a delic ious tang. Mr. Black atatea that the real fruit beverage is ,delivered to the home and The Ford V-8 is ready for normal driving when you buy it. There is no tedious period of breaking-in for 500 or 1000 miles. You- can drive it up‘to 50 miles an hour the first day. And after the first hundred miles you can drive it as fast as you desire. That means greater motoring enjoyment for every motorist. It is especially important to motorists who are thinking about a new car for a vacation trip — to physicians, salesmen' and all those who use a car for business. In stead of dragging along at slow speeds for days, you can make good time from the start. The reason for this is ts important as the result. The Ford V-8 needs no breaking-in because of nnusual accuracy in the manufac ture of moving parts and the smoothness of hearing surfaces. Clearances are correct when • you buy the car. It is not necessary to depend on a long wearing-in period to eliminate tight ness and insure smooth running. Longer life, greater economy and better performance are hound to result from such precision methods. The Ford V-8 gives you fine-cir construction, along with fine-car performance, comfort, safety and beauty. V8 stores in quarts and is also sold by all dealers of beverages in individual bottles.
