DAVIES, Editor and Proprietor. Entered at the post office at Barnwell, S. C., as second-class matter. SUBSCRIPTION RATES: One Year 31.50 Six Months 90 Three Months .50 (Strictly fa Advance.) THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 26. 1935 It Can't Be Done. Out in Ciricinnati Thursday clashes occurred between whites and negroes as a result, it is said, of the outcome of the Baer-Louis prize fight in New York City, which goes to show once more that the two races cannot meet on any plane of equality without caus ing friction. In the Ohio city the two races attend! the same public schools and It was between white and negro students that the trouble first began. , The brothers in black are cautioned that th# outcome of the Baer-Louis fight doesnlt prove anything in the way of superiority except that a black brute was a better fighter, than an other brute of a lighter hue. Other wise it was not a test df the superiori ty of one race over another in any re spect. This caution also applies to the misguided members of the white race who may feel that Baer’s dtefeat at the hands of the Detroit negro was in any way a reflection on the white race. The Cincinnati incident only goes to show that prize fights between whites and negroes in'the United States should be prohibited—by law, if that be possible; certainly by the weight of public opinion. One recalls that similar trouble occurred during the time that Jack Johnson, negro pugilist, was the so-called “champion of the world.” A repetition of what happened then is not desired now. And the pity of it is that high officials of the government, including at least one cabinet member and the governor of New York, were pres ent at the fight. It’s a funny world. Foj>weeks Italy has been sentfing thousands of troops and munitions of war into Africa with the avowed intent of making war upon the Ethiopinas, yet when the emperor of that country feels impelled to mobilize his army for defense against invasion, Italy declares that it is a “menacing threat” and that Ethiopia is the aggressor. Just such piffle pre ceded' the inauguration of the World War. Triple “C” News Notes Pearls! Pearls!! Pearls!! . Company 4468 had' oyster stew for supper Friday night, and “Banana” Coates bit into an oyster and hit some thing hard. It proved to be an egg- shaped pearl about a carat in juze. He turned it over to Albert Griffin to show the officers. Just, after the offi cers had examined “Banana’s’* pearl and estimated its value at from 30 cents to $50, Lieutenant Sanders bit on something hard in his oyster. It proved to be another pearl, not as well shaped as “Banana’s, but a little lar ger. We are expecting to have plenty of oyster stews in future. Porch for Orderly Room. Leadter J. B. Potter and his fast work ing section put a detail on the con struction oi a porch for the. orderly room last Saturday morning, and they finished a rustic porch for our head quarters. It is constructed of scrub oak, and is of a design that makes it match nicely with our water fountain, bulletin board, fences and other rus- 1 •;ic constructions. It adds considerably to tbfi appearance of the headquarters building. Officers' Quarters Fixed Up> One afternon last week Lieut. San ders and Mr. Bryan journeyed to Au gusta in^Mr^JJryan’s brand new seb- ondhanded V-8 and practically bought out the town to get furnishings for the officers’ quarters. They filled up the back seat of the ^Ford, and) the next day “Buckshot” filled his army truck with a load of furniture and other incidentals. Our officers are putting on the dog. . * Broadcast. In spite of injuries to the crack fiddler, “Peavine” Teal, which forced him to remain on the sideline, our string band had a hearing at station WRDW in Augusta and got two periods a week, of 15 minutes each of fered them. George Rawlinsoh and Jesse Martin, on the Hawaiian and Spanish Guitars, respectively, were the ones responsible for this, as they were the only ones who were presejjL at the audition. Colie Atkins joined them in their first broadcast, which made Saturday, the 28th ult. ball reporter, will give the play-by- SHERIFF’S SALES play descriptions over this network. ...i ■ Graham McNamee, veteran sports State of South Carolina, reporter, will visualize the World Series crowds for National Bread casting Syshem.

The starting time of the World Se ries games will be 1:15 Eastern Stand ard 1 Time; 12:15 Central Standard Time. Advertise in The People-Sentinel Legal Advertisements Notice to Debtors and Creditors. Professional Football. An interesting article, written by the president of a leading Northern university, on the future of college football appeared in a recent issue of The Saturday Evening Post. With practically every university and col lege in the country offering “athletic scholaiships” to outstanding players, the sport, he says, has been profes sionalized in everything but name, and he believes that it is a question of only a very few years before this thin mask will be cast uside. This educa tor blames the public for this condition, as the “supporters” of every team de mand a winding aggregation. It is an open secret that what is true in this respect of colleges in other sections is likewise true of South Caro lina institutions, though, of course our colleges have less money to spend for players and, therefore, do not get “the cream cf the crop.” Why continue to pretend that our annual gridiron battles are played by students for the love of the game when, in truth they are little more than clashes between professional players, hired to furnish “a Roman holiday” for the “fans”? Why not have twm squads, one composed' strictly of pro fessionals and one of Simon-pufiy' amateurs? Let the former go forth to battle for victory and the glory of dear old “Alma Mamma,” while the boys on the amateur squads uphold the traditions of intercollegiate ama teur football. Where teams are com posed of a mixture of professionals and amateurs, it isn’t quite fair to the boys whose parents are paying for their education while many of their team mates are working for hire. Sooner or later it is bound to cause such dissatisfaction that all of the players must he paid. Then what? Will we continue to pretend that the professional teams are “college teams?” was When “Peavine’s” sore finger gets well, it will be a band as good as any body’s. . “ The broadcast period, which will be used hereafter is 3:15 p. m. Sunday. The former will be mountain music, Hawaiian, or popular; the latter will be religious. “Camp Echoes” is the name assigned to the broadcast. Bamberg. Here We Come! The picture show in. Barnwell has temporarily suspencJed operations, as new machinery is being installed, and • the theatre is going under new man agement. In order to see a show, on leave nights trucks from camp have been wandering afield. We visited Allendale a couple erf times, then Den mark a couple of times, and last night, Friday, Sept. 27th, it was Bamberg. The picture was “Smilin’ Through," and of the three truckloads of men a large majority took it in, though many had seen it before. Volley Ball. A volley ball has ben sent us from headquarters and we lost no time in puting it into use. The court was laid off, smoothed out and clayed last Sat urday morning, and the games began that afternoon. This week a series between the several barracks was be gun. Land Measurement. A new class has been started by Mr. Maurice Kimpe, survepor. It is in land measurement, and came at the lequest of several of the men. At the first meeting of the class 22 men were em oiled. Clerk of Court Speaks. Mr. R. L. Bronson, clerk of court of Barnwell County, was out Wednesday night of last week and gave a most interesting talk to a small group of the men. Mr. Bronson outlined Very graphically all the duties of the clerk of court’s office. G.
